Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that India is increasingly achieving self-reliance in its defence sector, moving away from a heavy dependence on imports for arms and equipment.
In an exclusive interview with The Statesman, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has said notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is the action arm of the Government of India.
In a major operation, the Assam Rifles seized a large cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives, including 15 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and 42 country-made grenades, from Manipur's Tengnoupal district.
These coordinated efforts, aimed at neutralising insurgency threats in the region, underscore the ongoing battle to restore peace and security in the state's vulnerable hill and valley areas.
These operations, designed to suppress militant activities, led to the significant recovery of a large cache of arms and ammunition.
The Army said on Sunday that a huge consignment of arms and ammunition was recovered during multiple searches in J&K's Baramulla district.
The Pentagon's Defence Security Cooperation Agency on Friday announced the package, the largest in almost two years, which includes radar systems and missiles.
The raids were carried out hours after a notorious Pakistani terrorist in the high security Kot Bhalwal Jail was killed in a bid to flee when taken to the border for recovery of arms and ammunition.
During the search operation, terrorists lobbed grenades at the search party and escaped taking advantage of the darkness. However, police and security forces busted a hideout inside a house and recovered arms and ammunition.
Defence spokesman Lt. Colonel Devender Anand said that the search operation was conducted based on specific intelligence inputs, by the Poonch Brigade of White Knight Corps and SOG Poonch in village Noorkote of Tehsil Haveli.
