Z-Morh tunnel just the start of big J&K upgrade: PM Modi
Monday, 13 January 2025 Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Sonamarg tunnel, initiating significant infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir to boost tourism and reduce travel time between Srinagar and Leh. Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari outlined plans for highways, tunnels, and ropeways, focusing on major connectivity improvements. Key projects include ropeways for prominent temples and the 14-km Zojila tunnel, enhancing all-season connectivity and regional development.
India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

Pahalgam Terror Elimination was executed with precision and resolve as India’s security forces took down the three terrorists responsible for the brutal April 22 Pahalgam attack. Under Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu & Kashmir Police eliminated Suleman, Afghani, and Jibran near Srinagar. Forensic tests, Pakistani-made arms, and direct identification confirmed their involvement. The Pahalgam Terror Elimination showcases India’s zero-tolerance stance against terrorism and the government's commitment to justice. In Amit Shah’s words, the message is clear—those who attack innocent lives on Indian soil won’t walk away. Pahalgam Terror Elimination is more than an operation—it's a declaration.
