South India's top police chiefs and central intelligence heads gathered at a high-level summit to integrate Operation Toofan: The Narco Hunt into a seamless cross-border anti-narcotics grid. Launched by Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala within hours of assuming office, the mission has evolved into one of India's most comprehensive anti-drug initiatives, with five southern states agreeing to establish a permanent joint coordination mechanism to combat interstate narcotics trafficking. South India's top police chiefs and central intelligence heads gathering at Thiruvananthapuram for Operation Toofan High Level Summit chaired by Home Minister Ramesh Chennnithala Officially inaugurated by Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan at the beginning of the current academic year, Operation Toofan is now entering its next phase through a unified operational framework aimed at strengthening intelligence sharing, coordinating enforcement, and enhancing interstate cooperation against organised drug networks. The Operation Toofan Summit, chaired by Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala, brought together top regional police chiefs, including Kerala DGP Ravada Azad Chandrasekhar IPS, Tamil Nadu DGP Mahesh Kumar Aggarwal IPS, Puducherry DGP Shalini Singh IPS, and Karnataka ADGP R. Hitendra IPS. Elite central enforcement agencies were also represented by NCB Deputy Director General R. Sudhakar, DRI Additional Director General K. Padmavathi, Customs Preventive Commissioner T. Tiju, and SIB Joint Director Don K. Jose. Concluding the high-level briefings, IG and Operation Toofan Nodal Officer Putta Vimaladithya, IPS, presented the core operational strategies and timelines for the new interstate alliance. Under Operation Toofan, each state decided to appoint a nodal officer (SP rank or above) to coordinate joint crackdowns on road, rail, air, and sea smuggling. A major focus will be on tackling courier networks and " mid-route train drops " that bypass station security. Internally, Kerala is expanding its DANSAF force and establishing 12 new specialised NDPS courts to fast-track convictions. " The drug mafia operates without bordersand from this day forward, so will our response ," Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala stated. He recently held direct talks with Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, strategically linking Kerala's operational framework with Karnataka's efforts to eliminate illicit networks. As the next major operational step, Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge will arrive in Kerala on July 15 for crucial bilateral talks with Chennithala to finalise joint border-control protocols between the two states. Operation Toofan structurally attacks the problem from multiple angles. It is divided into four human-centric pillars: Toofan Strikes for aggressive enforcement, Toofan Warriors for mass civic mobilisation, Toofan Care focusing on rehabilitation, and the newly integrated Toofan Jagarana comprehensive mass-awareness initiative designed to keep the entire nation vigilant against the encroachment of illicit networks without borders or barriers. Moving forward, Operation Toofan will expand its reach through high-level visits to the Chief Ministers and Home Ministers of all neighbouring southern states to finalise bilateral security pacts. Administratively, Operation Toofan is drawing widespread acclaim as a practical regional model for zero-tolerance drug enforcement. The collaborative multi-state framework directly supports the multi-agency approach consistently advocated by the Union Home Ministry in national NCORD forums to dismantle cross-border cartels. The mission will interface directly with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi to request critical statutory amendments to federal anti-narcotics laws, specifically focusing on plugging legal loopholes. Within 24 hours of the summit, coordinated enforcement operations under Operation Toofan resulted in the registration of 57 narcotics cases and the arrest of 58 individuals. Drawing on his decades of legislative experience as a four-time Member of Parliament and former Kerala Minister for Home and Rural Development, senior Indian National Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala is leveraging his administrative experience to foster seamless interstate cooperation across South India, positioning Operation Toofan as a common anti-drug platform for the region.

1999 Kargil war victory represents India's enduring resolve to respond with full might to any hostile gaze upon our land, identity & honour: Rajnath Singh New Delhi, Jul 14: As part of the nationwide observance of Kargil Vijay Diwas 2026, Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh, on July 14, 2026, flagged-off the 13-day Shaurya Vijay Yatra, a commemorative motorcycle expedition, from the National War Memorial, New Delhi to the Kargil War Memorial in Dras, Ladakh. The expedition will witness 28 riders, including serving & retired defence forces personnel, and their family members, cover 1,900 kilometers while traversing through the demanding terrain of the northern Himalayas to honour the courage, resolve & supreme sacrifice of the Indian bravehearts who ensured victory in the 1999 Kargil War. The motto of the expedition is One Ride, One Nation, One Salute. In his address, Raksha Mantri paid glowing tributes to the gallant Indian soldiers, who, he said, wrote a golden chapter of courage, patience, discipline, and unmatched patriotism that militaries across the world still study and regard with respect. At an altitude of nearly 20,000 feet and temperatures plummeting to minus 40 degrees celsius, our soldiers achieved their objectives with courage and resilience. They reclaimed every peak, hill & bunker from enemy control and upheld the honour of the Tricolour. The victory represents India's enduring resolve to respond with full might to any hostile gaze upon our land, identity and honour, he added. Rajnath Singh expressed deep gratitude to all the Indian bravehearts, including Param Vir Chakra awardees Captain Vikram Batra, Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey, Subedar Major (Honorary Captain) Yogendra Singh Yadav (Retd) and Subedar Major (Honorary Captain) Sanjay Kumar (Retd), for their invaluable contribution in ensuring victory in the war. He stated that these valiant soldiers serve as an inspiration to the youth, and will continue to inspire future generations. Enroute, the riders will pay homage at prominent military memorials, including the Chandimandir War Memorial, Rezang La War Memorial and Leh War Memorial. They will also interact with and felicitate Veer Naris, recognising their courage and resilience. The expedition will culminate at the Kargil War Memorial on the Kargil Vijay Diwas on July 26, 2026. During the expedition, riders will carry an urn containing the National War Memorials sacred soil, which will be offered at Kargil in the memory of the fallen heroes. When the soil from here unites with the one in Kargil, it would symbolise the confluence of the reverence of the nation's current generation and the valour of the nations heroes, stated Raksha Mantri. Highlighting a key aspect of the Shaurya Vijay Yatra, Shri Rajnath Singh said the expedition brings together serving officers, veterans, and civilians from different parts of the country. Diverse backgrounds, languages, and traditions, yet one Tricolour, one Nation, and a shared reverence for our heroes - this is the very identity of our country, he said. With National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets in attendance at the flag-off ceremony, Raksha Mantri exuded confidence that the expedition will awaken a renewed sense of patriotism among the people, especially the youth. He added that it will convey a message to future generations that the defence of the nations freedom and honour takes place not only at the borders, but also in our memories and values. Chief of Defence Staff General NS Raja Subramani, Chief of the Army Staff General Dhiraj Seth and other senior officials were present on the occasion. Shaurya Vijay Yatra reflects the Indian Armys commitment to carrying forward the values exemplified during Operation Vijay. By retracing this journey of courage, the expedition seeks to inspire future generations to uphold duty, honour and selfless service.

Operation Vijay was not just military triumph, but chapter of courage, patriotism: Rajnath Singh
New Delhi, July 14: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said the 'Shaurya Vijay Yatra' is a tribute to the courage, sacrifice and indomitable spirit of Indian soldiers who fought in the 1999 Kargil War, as he flagged off the motorcycle expedition from the National War Memorial ahead of Kargil Vijay Diwas. Addressing the gathering, Singh said, Today's occasion is not merely about flagging off the Motorcycle Expedition, but rather about paying homage to that indomitable spirit, due to which our brave heroes sacrificed everything for the honour, pride, and glory of India. I have come to pay homage to that resolve, which, with a vow to keep alive the memory of our immortal martyrs from generation to generation, is moving forward. Highlighting the significance of the expedition, the Defence Minister said the name 'Shaurya Vijay Yatra' itself represents inspiration and its motto, One Ride, One Nation, One Salute, reflects the spirit of national unity and respect for the armed forces. The very name of this journey--'Shaurya Vijay Yatra' (Journey of Valor and Victory)--is an inspiration in itself. And its motto--'One Ride, One Nation, One Salute'--expresses the soul of this campaign in a deeply meaningful way. There could perhaps be no message more beautiful or powerful than this, he said. Recalling the bravery displayed by Indian soldiers during the 1999 Kargil War, Singh said troops achieved the impossible in extremely challenging conditions. At an altitude of nearly 20,000 feet--where breathing becomes difficult, oxygen levels are low, and temperatures plummet to minus 40 degrees--our brave soldiers achieved the impossible in such a formidable and hostile environment. Where nature had blocked the path, our soldiers, through their sheer courage, carved out a new path in history, he said. The Defence Minister said Operation Vijay was not merely a military victory but a symbol of courage, patience, discipline and patriotism. Twenty-seven years ago today, in 1999, the Indian Armed Forces scripted history through Operation Vijay. It was not merely a military victory, but a chapter of such courage, patience, discipline, and indomitable patriotism that the world's armies still study and regard it with honour, he said. The 'Shaurya Vijay Yatra' riders will cover nearly 1,900 kilometres over 13 days, beginning from the National War Memorial and passing through Chandimandir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh before reaching the Kargil War Memorial on July 26, marking Kargil Vijay Diwas. This will not merely be a journey of covering distances; it will be a journey of connecting with history, sacrifice, and patriotism, Singh said. He added that India's victory in Kargil represents the country's enduring resolve to protect its land, identity and honour. The victory of Kargil is not confined to a single date; it is India's enduring resolve that every gaze cast upon our land, our identity, and our honour will be met by India with full might, he said. Expressing confidence in the impact of the expedition, Singh said the journey would inspire the youth and keep alive the memory of the Kargil martyrs. I am fully confident that this journey of yours will awaken a new consciousness of patriotism, especially among the youth, will keep the memory of the immortal Kargil martyrs ever alive in the collective memory of society, and will convey to the coming generations the message that the protection of the nation's freedom and honour happens not only at the borders, but also in our memories and our values, he said. Chief of Army Staff General Dhiraj Seth was also present at the flag-off ceremony. The expedition comes as India commemorates the 27th anniversary of Operation Vijay. On July 14, 1999, Indian forces regained control of most strategic heights in the Dras, Kargil and Batalik sectors, marking a decisive turning point in the war. The Indian Army has recalled the day as the moment when then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee declared Operation Vijay a success, while Pakistan announced the withdrawal of its forces amid military setbacks and international pressure. The Indian Army has also organised an expedition to Gun Hill (Point 5140), a strategically significant feature overlooking Dras, to honour the soldiers who displayed exceptional courage during the Kargil War. The capture of Point 5140 was one of the decisive operations of the conflict and played a crucial role in restoring control over the Dras sector. Every year on July 26, India observes Kargil Vijay Diwas to commemorate the successful culmination of Operation VIJAY, through which the Indian Armed Forces recaptured strategic heights from Pakistani intruders and safeguarded the nation's territorial integrity.

Iranian diplomats summoned after tanker strikes kill Indian sailor
New Delhi, July 14: India has summoned Iranian diplomats, including Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) Mohammad Javad Hosseini, to the Ministry of External Affairs after an Iranian missile strike on two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz left one Indian crew member dead and several others injured. Following the high-level meeting over the recent attack on merchant vessels in the strategic waterway, the Iranian diplomats, including the DCM, were seen leaving the Ministry of External Affairs headquarters in the national capital. The high-level diplomatic move follows an official announcement by the UAE Ministry of Defence early Tuesday confirming that the UAE-flagged tankers, Mombasa and Bahia, were targeted by Iranian cruise missiles while navigating the southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz within Omani territorial waters. The national tankers (Mombasa) and (Bahia) were targeted by two Iranian cruise missiles in the southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters, the UAE Ministry of Defence stated. The lethal strike targeted at Mombasa claimed the life of the Indian national, while leaving eight other sailors injured. Among the casualties undergoing medical attention, four suffered serious injuries, with the total group comprising six Indian nationals and two Ukrainian nationals. Beyond the human casualties, the missile strikes triggered intense fires on board both commercial vessels, inflicting severe material damage before the blazes were successfully brought under control by emergency teams. Reacting strongly to the maritime assault, the UAE condemned the incident as a serious violation and a clear breach of international law. Abu Dhabi issued a stern warning that it reserved the right to retaliate and implement all required protocols to safeguard its sovereignty. The state reserves its full right to respond to this escalation and to take all necessary measures to protect its territories, people, and residents, the ministry asserted, adding that its forces remain on high alert while urging the public to rely solely on official channels for updates. The deadly engagement occurs amid intensifying military friction in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most strategically vital maritime chokepoints. Prior to the incident, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency had reported that several violating vessels had been targeted in the waterway by Iranian forces. Concurrently, Iranian state broadcaster IRIB confirmed that the navy had fired cruise missiles at a hostile vessel of the American enemy, citing an unnamed military source. This sudden spike in regional hostilities follows a series of American pre-emptive strikes on Iran and a broadening international confrontation over the control of the strategic waterway. On Monday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) launched a fresh round of strikes against targets inside Iran, stating that the operations were explicitly designed to diminish Tehran's capacity to target civilian vessels and commercial shipping in the area. These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM stated. The military operations coincide with a massive policy shift by US President Donald Trump, who previously announced that Washington was reinstating a strict naval blockade on Iranian shipping. Trump further declared that the US would levy a 20 per cent fee on eligible cargo transiting the strait to offset its mounting regional security expenses. We're protecting a very rich portion of the world. We're spending money. And so, what we've done is, we are going to be reimbursed for protection, Trump said. According to the US military, the enforcement of this blockade will resume from Tuesday, applying specifically to vessels travelling to and from Iranian ports, while permitting non-violating international commercial traffic to proceed through the waterway.

Top Players Make England Change Their Strategy: Nayar Backs Rohits ODI Return
New Delhi: Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar believes Rohit Sharma's return for the three-match ODI series against England will strengthen India's batting unit. With India welcoming back several senior players after the T20I leg of the tour, Nayar opined that Rohit's experience and proven success against short-pitch bowling would make an immediate impact. In the T20 series as well, one of the biggest challenges for the Indian batters was the short ball. Rohit Sharma is someone who actually feeds off it and scores heavily against short-pitched bowling. When you do well in SENA countries and overseas, it's partly because you can handle pace well and score runs against the short ball, and that's exactly what India will get from both Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, Nayar told JioStar. The former India assistant coach feels Rohit's presence alone could compel England to alter their bowling plans, as he said, England will have to change their strategy and bowl differently to them. That's what top players do; they don't change the way they play, they make the opposition change the way, they target them. India will certainly enjoy having Rohit Sharma back, and when you go into big series and major tournaments, that experience gives you the comfort and confidence you need. Nayar also stressed the importance of Jasprit Bumrah's comeback and backed Kuldeep Yadav to thrive in English conditions if given a consistent run in the side. The former all-rounder welcomed Bumrah's return to India's ODI setup, stressing that the fast bowler's experience would help him manage the transition back to 50-over cricket after a long absence. With experience, you understand how to manage your workload. I'm sure he will be bowling, monitoring his overs, and gradually building up his fitness and conditioning to bowl those 10 overs. The kind of skill set Jasprit Bumrah has is invaluable in the longer formats and in 50-over cricket, where you can bowl in spells know when to increase your pace and when to use your slower balls, which are very effective. That's the beauty of Bumrah; he knows how to elevate his game. He played the entire IPL, so he has been building up towards this. With Bumrah, you just want to manage him carefully. Even across these three games, you would ideally want him to play no more than two, he mentioned. Nayar also threw his weight behind Kuldeep Yadav, saying England's conditions could help the left-arm wrist-spinner rediscover his best form. Kuldeep has done well when he's got the pace of the pitch to work with. Even though he didn't have a great IPL, one thing I've really enjoyed seeing about Kuldeep Yadav is that he has learned to vary his pace, he said. Nayar also threw his weight behind Kuldeep Yadav, saying England's conditions could help the left-arm wrist-spinner rediscover his best form. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The only thing I'm concerned about is how much security you can give Kuldeep Yadav. For any spinner, it's important to have that security, to know where you stand and how the team plans to use you. If he starts, I believe he should get a consistent run in the Indian team.
