A significant cache of terrorist equipment, including grenades and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), was seized from a forest in Punjab during a crackdown on terror groups amid rising India-Pakistan tensions following the deadly Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. The joint operation uncovered two rocket-propelled grenades, two IEDs, five P-86 hand grenades, and a wireless communication set, indicating a coordinated effort by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to revive sleeper cells in the region, according to Punjab's Director General of Police. In response to the attack, attributed to the Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliate The Resistance Front, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged decisive action against terrorism, leading to the destruction of terrorists' homes in Kashmir and the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. Additionally, the Union home ministry has mandated mock drills across states to prepare for potential threats, as sporadic gunfire from across the Line of Control continues.

The court's comments came amidst ongoing delays in conducting local elections, which have not been held since 2016-2017 due to legal disputes over OBC quotas. In 2021, the Supreme Court invalidated a Maharashtra ordinance that proposed a 27% quota for OBCs, establishing a three-fold test for future reservations. Advocates representing petitioners urged the court to expedite elections, highlighting the state's unilateral governance through appointed officials. Justice Kant emphasized the need for inclusivity, arguing that the benefits of reservation should extend beyond a select few families. This discussion coincides with the Centre's decision to include caste data in the upcoming Census, a move seen as crucial for identifying and supporting backward communities.

Published: May 06 2025, 11 ameznews.inOn April 22, 2025, Pakistan executed a brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, killing 26 unarmed tourists, predominantly non-Muslims, in a shocking act of religiously motivated violence.
