Army orders court of inquiry in Pune bridging exercise incident

Earlier on Wednesday, the alert troops of White Knight Corps of the Indian army conducted a joint search Operation Sherikalan in Gen Area Poonch, and recovered approx 4 kg of explosives. They have been destroyed in situ.

People from across Manipur, under the banner of the Just and Fair Delimitation (JFD), staged a protest against the ongoing census process in the state. The demonstration took place at Ima Market in Imphal, where protesters voiced their opposition to the exercise.

The discussion on the no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla turned heated when LoP Rahul Gandhi interjected BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, stating he was "stopped multiple times" when he raised issues of "Prime Minister Narendra Modi being compromised" and the book of former Army Chief General MM Naravane (Retd).

MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, while speaking to ANI, said, "The USA kept saying they would take some action against Iran. Two days before the war started, our Prime Minister arrived in Israel. The war first started from Israel's side, and the US supported it."

DC Krishan Lal, while speaking to ANI, said, "We conducted an exercise to know how many students of Doda district are stuck in Iran. Out of the 6 students, 1 came back on the 27th, and 5 were stranded."
