Thirteen of the 14 people who were picked up by the National Investigation Agency yesterday as suspected sympathisers of ISIS have been arrested, the Home Ministry said today. Five of them were arrested yesterday by the NIA as part of a nationwide anti-terror sweep ahead of Republic Day celebrations on January 26.

The government today announced the implementation of the long-awaited One Rank One Pension or OROP scheme which was rejected by veterans who have vowed to continue their protest.

India has proof that Dawood Ibrahim, the terrorist wanted for the 1993 blasts in Mumbai, is in Pakistan, a report in Hindustan Times said on Saturday.

A 20-year-old man was killed in firing by Pakistani troops this morning as two terrorists were stopped from crossing over to Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been told clearly by the central government that it is not essential for him to be consulted on matters like the appointment of key bureaucrats. Instead, the Centre said, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung can use "his discretion" on whether to get the Chief Minister's input.

After hurtling the government into a mega-controversy, the officer who declared that he had ordered the blowing up of a Pakistani fishing boat with four people on board has apologised in writing to the Defence Ministry. The matter is unlikely to end there, said sources, warning that disciplinary action is likely.

A Pakistani fishing boat that ignored warning shots from the Coast Guard to slow down off the Gujarat coast blew itself up late on New Year's Eve, the government disclosed today.

After this week's Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar in Pakistan, the government has sent detailed instructions to schools across the country on how to prep against and react to a terror attack where students could be taken hostage.

After the massive terror strike at a Pakistan school in which over 130 children were killed, the Centre has asked all state governments to ensure adequate security is provided at public places including malls and schools.

Navy Chief Admiral RK Dhowan has said that terror threat from the sea is a "real challenge", adding that India is "fully prepared" to tackle a situation.

Nobody should "threaten or warn India," said Home Minister Rajnath Singh after China objected to reported plans by India to build a 2,000-km long road along the border in Arunachal Pradesh.

Five days of incessant rain in Jammu and Kashmir followed by flooding of the Chenab River has washed away over 40 kilometres of the border fencing.

Narendra Modi will spend the night at a heavily-guarded government guest house.

Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has written to all states today asking them to "ensure that no innocent Muslim youth is wrongfully detained in the name of terror." The main opposition party, the BJP, has objected strongly to the directive.

In what points to a serious security lapse, terrorists managed to make their way from Jandi village on the border with Pakistan to Hiranagar in Kathua district of Jammu, where they attacked a police station and killed cops, before hijacking a truck and driving to the Samba district to attack an armoured corp unit. All in a span of about two hours.
