Navy to commission first of eight Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft in Mumbai
NEW DELHI: Amid Pakistans plans to augment its underwater combat capabilities, the Indian Navy is set to commission Mahe, the first of the Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai on Monday. The ceremony will be presided over by General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff. In a statement, the Indian Navy said, The commissioning of Mahe will mark the arrival of a new generation of indigenous shallow-water combatants sleek, swift, and resolutely Indian. She will serve as a Silent Hunter on the Western Seaboard powered by self-reliance and dedicated to safeguarding Indias maritime frontiers, the Navy added. With over 80 per cent indigenous content, the Mahe-class showcases Indias growing mastery in warship design, construction, and integration. Built by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), Kochi, Mahe represents the cutting edge of Indias Atma Nirbhar Bharat initiative in naval ship design and construction. Compact yet powerful, the ship embodies agility, precision, and endurance qualities vital for dominating the littorals. Designed with a blend of firepower, stealth, and mobility, the ship will undertake submarine-hunting missions, coastal patrols, and the protection of Indias vital maritime approaches. Named after the historic coastal town of Mahe on the Malabar Coast, the ships crest features an Urumi, the flexible sword used in Kalaripayattu, symbolising agility, precision, and lethal grace. The ships being manufactured at CSL are part of the Navys larger plan to upgrade its anti-submarine warfare capability. The Mahe-class ships will be equipped with indigenously developed, state-of-the-art underwater sensors. They are envisaged to undertake anti-submarine operations in coastal waters, as well as low-intensity maritime operations and mine-laying tasks. The ASW-SWC ships are 78 m long and the displacement is approximately 900 tonnes. They can achieve a maximum speed of 25 knots with an endurance of up to 1,800 nautical miles, the Navy said. Two contracts for sixteen Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft ships eight each to be built by CSL, Kochi, and Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata were signed in April 2019. Given Indias vast 7,516.6-kilometre coastline with twelve major ports, 184 minor ports, and 1,197 island territories, coastal surveillance for anti-submarine warfare operations is considered critical. The induction of these specialised ships, featuring a lower draught, is expected to significantly enhance the Indian Navys shallow-water ASW capability, with improved performance of weapons, sensors, hull-mounted sonar, and towed sonar systems. The Mahe-class ASW Shallow Water Craft have been named after ports of strategic importance along Indias coastline, and will carry forward the legacy of the erstwhile minesweepers that bore the same names. Chinas role in Pakistans underwater capability build-up China continues to be Pakistans largest arms supplier, with the ongoing Hangor-class submarine project being the latest example. Under the programme, eight new submarines are scheduled for induction into the Pakistan Navy, with the first likely to be commissioned in the first half of 2026. Three of these have already been launched by Chinese manufacturers. Significantly, all these submarines will be equipped with air-independent propulsion (AIP) technology, which allegedly enhances the submerged endurance of submarines several-fold. An AIP system allows a submarine to remain underwater, away from enemy sensors, for extended periods without surfacing. None of Indias submarines currently possess AIP technology.

KL Rahul To Captain India In ODIs Against South Africa, Pant, Jadeja, Gaikwad Return
With Jasprit Bumrah: Senior wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has been named captain of Indias ODI squad for the upcoming three-game series against South Africa, starting on November 30. The series will also see the return of Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad into the 50-over set-up. IANS had previously reported on Sunday that due to Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries respectively and recuperating under specialists care in Mumbai the leadership duties toss-up was between Rahul and Pant. IANS understands that Rahul being a first-choice player in the ODIs meant he got the nod to be Indias captain for the series against the Proteas ahead of Pant, whos leading India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati. Rahul has captained India 12 times in ODIs from 2022 to 2023. He was also the captain when India beat South Africa in the 50-over series by 2-1 in 2023. Pant, meanwhile, makes a return to the ODI team as well after rehab for a fractured right foot prevented him from playing in the series against Australia last month, where India lost 2-1. With Gill unavailable, Yashasvi Jaiswal retains his place and could well open with Rohit Sharma against the Proteas. But he will face stiff competition from Gaikwad, who has been in scintillating form of late and is coming off hitting a century and a half-century in a three-match 50-over series against South Africa A in Rajkot. Left-handed batter Tilak Varma also makes a return after his last ODI came in December 2023, while Dhruv Jurel retains his spot. It will be interesting to see who between Pant, Varma and even Rahul could bat at four in Iyers absence. Veteran spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who was left out of the three-game ODI series in Australia, has been included for the series at the expense of Axar Patel, who could feature in the subsequent five-match T20I series. Left-handed batter Tilak Varma also makes a return after his last ODI came in December 2023, while Dhruv Jurel retains his spot. It will be interesting to see who between Pant, Varma and even Rahul could bat at four in Iyers absence.

Agarkar & Co. Slated To Meet In Mumbai To Select Indias Squads For White-ball Games Against SA
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The senior mens selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is scheduled to convene in Mumbai on Sunday to select Indias squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa, said sources to IANS. Agarkar, along with RP Singh and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, were in Guwahati on Saturday to attend day one of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. But IANS understands that the trio left for Mumbai from Guwahati on Sunday for the selection committee meeting at the BCCI headquarters. Yes, the selection meeting is today in Mumbai, after being initially presumed that it would happen in Guwahati. It is understood that other members are also travelling to Mumbai for it, further said the sources. Following the conclusion of the two-match Test series, India will play against South Africa in three ODIs, to be played in Ranchi, Raipur and Visakhapatnam and five T20Is set to take place in Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. The discussion in the Agarkar-led panel is expected to centre a lot on who could lead the side for the ODI series against the Proteas. Theres a leadership vacuum in the 50-over set-up as captain Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries. With Gill also consulting Mumbai-based spinal surgeon Dr Abhay Nene for his neck injury recovery, it also puts him as a doubtful starter for the T20Is against South Africa, starting on December 9. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Pant, on the other hand, is captaining India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati, but hasnt been a first-choice starter in the 50-over set-up due to Rahuls presence. In Gills absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal could partner with Rohit Sharma at the top. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023.

No one would've dared to attack India had there been Operation Sindoor after 26/11: Fadnavis
MUMBAI: Had India taken an Operation Sindoor -like action after the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack, no one would have dared to target the country again, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said. Speaking at an event at the Gateway of India on Saturday to mark the coming 17th anniversary of the 26/11 attack, Fadnavis said it was not merely an attack on the Taj and Trident hotels. Mumbai is the economic capital of India, and the attack on the city was an attack on the sovereignty of the country, he said. Had we understood this and shown the courage to conduct an `Operation Sindoor' then, nobody would have dared to attack us again, he said. India carried out military action under Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack of April 2025. The Mumbai terror attack, during which Pakistani terrorists entered the city by sea route on November 26, 2008, and caused mayhem, claimed at least 166 lives. Though 17 years have passed, here is still pain in our hearts, Fadnavis said. We have gathered here to honour the martyrs and the brave-hearts, and remember that the threat of terror still persists and we need to be alert. We need to be the eyes and ears of our country and speak in one language. We are safe if we are united, the BJP leader said. Pakistan knows it cannot defeat India in a straightforward war, and hence the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and the recent blast in Delhi took place, he said. He lauded security agencies for managing to seize 3,000 kg of RDX, which was to be used to conduct terror strikes in Mumbai and other cities. PM (Narendra) Modi has said terror and talks can not go together, and gave freedom to the armed forces to take action. Through Operation Sindoor, the world saw India's might. India is a strong country, and the war (against terror) is not over, Fadnavis said. The event 'Global Peace Honours: Remembering the Heroes of 26/11 and Victims of Pahalgam Attack' was organised by the Divyaj Foundation, headed by the CM's wife, Amruta Fadnavis.

Anmol Bishnoi: The phantom trigger-man
In the long reach of the Bishnoi crime syndicate, Anmol Bishnoi, by 24, had grown into the quiet operator who, investigators say, had by degrees slipped into the role of the de facto runner of the gang of his elder brother, Lawrence. Born in 1999 in Dutarawali village in Fazilka district of Punjab, he learned early the workings of a criminal nexus that linked local violence to international networks. Now in the custody of the National Investigation Agency after being deported from the US, he faces a dossier that has followed him across continents. His dossier sketches a steady trajectory. Lawrence sent Anmol to Jodhpur for studies in 2016 after Anmol had studied in Abohar earlier, but problems followed him there as well. During that time, three cases of assault and illegal arms were registered against him. State police records show he is named as an accused in 16 FIRs across Punjab between October 2012 and July 2025. The first, at Abohar City Police Station in 2012, named offences included attempt to murder, voluntarily causing grievous injury and the Arms Act violations. Subsequent FIRs charged him with trespass, theft, forgery, criminal conspiracy, extortion and offences under the Passports Act; a court later issued open warrants. Investigators say he was principal overseas handler, directing extortion rackets, issuing threats and coordinating assignments through encrypted channels. The NIA maintains that Anmol continued to run terror syndicates and execute terrorist acts from the US for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, using its operatives on the ground. From abroad, he is accused of managing shooters, arranging logistics, and keeping the machinery of intimidation active despite distance. Travel and false identities were central to his movements. Punjab Police informed the Intelligence Bureau on June 15, 2022, that Anmol had slipped out of the country by flying from Jaipur to Dubai, then to Kenya, and finally to the US. He travelled on a fake passport issued in the name of Bhanu Pratap, with Rakesh as the fathers name. His real father is Lovinder Bishnoi. In October last year, the NIA added him to Indias most wanted list and announced a reward of `10 lakh for information leading to his arrest. He was arrested in Sacramento, California, in November last year for entering the country on illegal documents and was kept under an ankle monitor, a GPS-based tracking device used in court-ordered surveillance cases. He did not always stay hidden. In April 2023, he was spotted at a Punjabi wedding in Californiaan appearance investigators later cited as evidence of the confidence he placed in multiple identities and the safe houses that supported him abroad. The dossier maps a network that crosses continents. It names members in the US, Portugal, Italy, Bulgaria, Turkey and the UAE. Some 18 of Anmols known aides are currently abroad, including Godly Brar and 9 others who recently fled India, assuming fake identities and using fake passports. Investigators say he allegedly made extortion calls to businessmen through WhatsApp, Signal and VOIP (VPN). In cases where ransom was not paid, they contend, gang members were sent and shots were fired. Authorities say shelter, weapons and movement were arranged for operatives who carried out attacks in India. Investigations revealed that he provided shelter and logistical support to the gangs shooters and operatives, and engaged in extortion in India from foreign soil with the help of other gangsters. His presence overseas, the NIA argues, helped the syndicate build links with criminal groups across West Asia, East Africa and North America. The allegations tie him to some of the gangs most notorious acts. The dossier suggests he coordinated the plot that led to the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala near Moosa village in Mansa district on May 29, 2022, providing weapons and support on his behest. The NIA charge-sheet in March 2023 said he had actively aided designated individual terrorist Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi in the commission of various acts of terrorism in the country during the 20202023 period. His name also surfaced in brazen attacks in Mumbai. On April 14 last year, two individuals fired outside Salman Khans home in Bandra; Anmol claimed responsibility on Facebook. A charge sheet later said planning had been going on since August 2023 and that Bishnoi delivered a nine-minute speech to motivate the shooters, telling them they were going to make history. Three months later, on October 12, the killing of Nationalist Congress Party leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique outside the office of his son in Bandra led investigators to name Anmol as the plotter. Some 26 people allegedly connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang have been arrested in that case, and the Mumbai Police invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act. Absconding since 2022, Anmol became the 19th accused to be arrested in connection with the terror-syndicate led by Lawrence. The NIAs narrative presentshim as a young man who learned the trade, moved quickly and believed distance and forged identities could shield him. Now, in custody, the fragments of his journeyforged passports, FIRs, and intercepted messagesform the record.

'Arrogance caused Ravana's downfall': Eknath Shinde's veiled dig at BJP?
MUMBAI: In an apparent dig at his ally BJP, over its attempts to poach the MLAs of Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday said those coming after his party would face the same fate as that of Ravana. Calling for people to vote against Ravana's arrogance, Shinde said We have come together here against dictatorship and authoritarianism. Dy CM Shinde was in Dahanu to campaign for his party candidate Bharat Rajput for the Nagar Panchayat president post. Rajput is also the president of Palghar district. As both Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena and the Congress have withdrawn their candidate from the polls, the battle is between Shiv Sena and the BJP. Our dear sisters have voted massively in state polls and we have seen the result as well. If our sisters vote in the same way, then no one will stop us from getting the major victory in these elections. This victory will push for major development in this region, Shinde said. He further said that they want to end the corruption at its root, therefore casting the vote to his party candidates is very important in these local body polls. Shinde also reminded that Shiv Sena contested only 80 seats and won 60 seats; therefore Sena has the capacity to do keep up with their promises and so people should vote his party's candidates in the local body polls. Shinde said that he is a person who works for each and every community person development and progress. Shiv Sena means development. We will develop gardens and playgrounds for children to play. The basic infrastructure will also be improved with all state-of-the-art facilities at the local level so they do not need to go anywhere for basic services, Shinde promised. Shinde's attempts to convey the internal friction within the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance to the saffron party's top leadership did not go well as he was reportedly informed that the party would go ahead with its expansion plans. Shinde had reportedly expressed concern regarding BJP state president Ravindra Chavan's attempts to allegedly poach Shiv Sena leaders on the eve of the local body polls, as well as for what he described as step-motherly treatment within the BJP-led Mahayuti government. Shinde gets no relief from Amit Shah as BJP pushes ahead with 'expansion' plan
