क्या अब सेना मे भी धर्म का ज़हर घोला जा रहा है! | khabarhaat
In this thought-provoking video, we explore the growing concerns surrounding the influence of religion within military institutions. As modern armies continue to evolve, questions arise about the balance between personal beliefs and professional duties. Is the poison of religion being spread in the army? Are religious ideologies beginning to shape military culture, or is it simply a matter of individual freedom? Join us as we examine the impact of religion on the armed forces, the potential risks it poses to discipline and unity, and the ongoing debate about religious expression within the military. Stay tuned for a deep dive into this critical issue that touches on ethics, politics, and the future of global military forces.

60 th Golden Jubilee Raising Day Celebration of 55 Engr Regt by tricity veterans at Basantar,KOI Chanimandir
The Territorial Army has raised a new unit for rejuvenating the Gomti river under its ecological task force.
The new unit became functional on Wednesday. A formal ‘raising day’ function is slated to be held in mid-January at the Indian Army’s Lucknow-headquartered Central Command.
The Ministry of Defence, in September 2024, had sanctioned a ‘company strength’ unit for the Gomti that included four Junior Commissioned Officers and a hundred ex-servicemen.
The decision was taken after the rejuvenation of the Gomti, a tributary of the Ganges which flows in Lucknow, was suggested by the Composite Ecological Task force (CETF) under the ongoing National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), funded by the Union Jal Shakti Ministry.
The CETF, also called Ganga Task Force, is purely a unit manned by ex-servicemen, with charter to augment the larger role of the NMCG in rejuvenation of the Ganges. The unit has laid down specific tasks that include plantation for stabilisation of river banks, ghat patrolling, conduct of awareness programme. One of the important tasks is pollution monitoring that is used by the NMCG as a yardstick to compare samples of other agencies.
The Territorial Army is a voluntary force that supports and supplements the Indian Army in times of need. It provides support during natural calamities, civil disturbances, and in the maintenance of essential services.
MANIPUR Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s apology for the ethnic violence that has ravaged the state since May 2023 is too little, too late. Over 250 lives have been lost, thousands displaced and women brutalised in unimaginable ways. Singh’s acknowledgment of the tragedy cannot erase his culpability; his inaction and partisanship make him a war criminal. Under Singh’s watch, Manipur spiralled into chaos, with armed militias terrorising communities. His failure to control the militias, prevent the widespread use of looted weapons and ensure the safety of all communities makes his apology appear more like a strategic ploy than a sincere effort to heal a fractured society. Women have been weaponised in this conflict. The horrifying sexual violence against Kuki-Zomi women, such as the ordeal of Reina Haokip, highlights the war waged on women’s bodies. The victims carry psychological scars that no apology can heal.
The statistics he presented — declining incidents of firing and arrests made — are cold comfort to those who have lost loved ones or seen their homes burned. The wounds inflicted by drone bombings, mob attacks and communal targeting cannot be erased by words alone. The displacement of over 50,000 people is a testament to the state’s inability to provide security and dignity to its citizens.
Allegations of bias against the Kuki-Zo community have further eroded any trust in his leadership. His apology is a transparent attempt to deflect blame rather than take responsibility. Singh’s tenure has been marked by complicity and incompetence, rendering him incapable of fostering peace or reconciliation. Calls for his resignation are justified; accountability is non-negotiable. Manipur needs a leadership overhaul and a political solution grounded in justice, equality and genuine dialogue. Singh must face the consequences of his failures.

The Centre is in the process of finalising a site where a memorial will be set up for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. It has inspected some areas near Rajghat, Rashtriya Smriti Sthal and Kisan Ghat in the national capital.
Singh — the architect of India’s economic reforms — died on December 26 at the age of 92 following age-related complications.
Following his death, the BJP and the Congress engaged in a bitter war of words over the cremation and the setting up of a memorial to Manmohan Singh with the grand old party blaming the Centre for disrespecting the legacy of the two-time Prime Minister by cremating him at Nigambodh Ghat, a cremation place for commoners, instead of giving him a suitable place at Rajghat where former presidents and prime ministers have been cremated.
According to official sources, officers from the Ministry of Urban Development and Central Public Works Department (CPWD) have inspected some areas and shortlisted a couple of sites where the memorial could be built. “Those options have been shared with the former PM’s family,” a source said, adding that as of now, no site has been finalised and everything would be done in consultation with Singh’s family.
Before building a memorial, the government will have to form a trust which can then apply for land allocation and an MoU will be signed with the CPWD for construction.
WITH the onset of the year in which the Indian republic will celebrate 75 years of its establishment, the fervent hope of the majority of its citizens is for social peace and harmony. This can only be achieved if there is a realisation that the path to right the ‘wrongs of history’ lies through cementing a common nationhood that is respectful of the traditions and faiths of all Indians. That acceptance and respect are also the premise and promise of the republic’s foundational principle, so eloquently expressed in the Constitution.
A deviation from this basic constitutional proposition will damage India’s capability to successfully navigate the enormous strategic challenges that are growing because of the technological changes underway in a turbulent global environment. The regional situation, too, presents difficulties that can be ignored only at the peril of hurting national interests. And, for India, the key country connecting its regional and global challenges is China.
China’s threat goes far beyond the border issue. A process of ‘normalising’ the relationship, which was acutely impaired by China’s actions in eastern Ladakh in the summer of 2020, may now have begun. The Ministry of External Affairs’ readout of the Narendra Modi-Xi Jinping meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in October last year noted, “The two leaders affirmed that stable, predictable and amicable bilateral relations between India and China, as two neighbours and the two largest nations on earth, will have a positive impact on regional and global peace and prosperity. It will also contribute to a multipolar Asia and a multipolar world”. However, whatever China may agree to during formal summit-level meetings, it is working for, at least, a bipolar world order and is assiduously seeking a unipolar Asia in which its power and influence prevail. And, the backbone of both these quests lie not only in its economic success and growing military power but also its undoubted and deep advances in the areas of science and high technology.
In 2018, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, had said, “The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labour costs. I’m not sure what part of China they go to, but the truth is that China stopped being the low-labour-cost country years ago. And that is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill, and the quantity of skill in one location and the type of skill…” He went on to say that the products that were Apple’s requirement needed advanced tooling capable of working with state-of-the-art material. He added, “That tooling skill is very deep here. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields…”
That was over six years ago. China’s drive to develop human capital in the areas of frontier manufacturing continues relentlessly. It is, however, not satisfied with becoming the factory of the world. It is now seeking to reach US and Western European levels in design and innovation in large frontier technology sectors, including artificial intelligence (AI).
Till recently, it was commonly and correctly believed that in AI, the US excelled in ‘technical innovation’ while Chinese companies were competent at ‘application innovation’. There was generally a gap of one or two years before the application occurred. However, the Chinese are now realising that there is a fundamental difference between ‘technical innovation’ and thereafter applying it. Hence, Chinese companies like DeepSeek have come up; they are going rapidly ahead in ‘technical innovation’. They do not wish to be followers anymore. This will pose a challenge to US supremacy in AI, which is destined to change the world. The US will pose impediments in China’s path, but will it succeed? It is difficult to predict how deep and extensive will be the transformation of individual lives and international power equations, but it is certain that this will happen, and that too early.
Where does India stand in all this and other frontier and emerging areas of science and technology (S&T)? The truth is that while India’s economic growth has led it to become the fifth largest global economy, there is a wide and perhaps growing gap in S&T not only with the West but also with China. Jawaharlal Nehru was acutely aware that European domination of the world, beginning with the 18th and 19th centuries that led to all the horrors of colonialism in Asia, Africa and South America, had occurred because of its Industrial Revolution. Hence, his determination that India should catch up in S&T, both in terms of human capital and industrialisation. In this context, it is good to become aware of the advances Indians had made in S&T in ancient times and convey that to the world, but is that really the path to becoming a strong and powerful country — a genuine pole in a multipolar world?
The answer is obvious. All the digging out of glories from our ancient past, which was ravaged by invaders, will not help us meet the challenges of today. They may satisfy emotional urges of certain sections of the people, and their long-standing feelings of hurt and anguish may be addressed too, but they will not address the strategic threat that the country faces from China. In the current year and beyond, China’s involvement in India’s immediate neighbourhood will only increase. Its intrusion in India’s western neighbourhood, substantial for decades, will continue. The situation in Bangladesh is ripe for its pernicious intervention and it will increase its presence in the Indian Ocean Region.
In such circumstances, it is the collective will of cohesive people — shedding prejudices, not dwelling on the past but taking India forward to become a leader in S&T innovation and applications and strong in defence — that is needed to safeguard India’s interests
Assigning ADCs from different services is expected to promote a deeper understanding and cooperation across the branches, reinforcing the integrated approach essential for modern military operations
In a significant administrative reform aimed at enhancing jointness within the Indian Armed Forces, the personal staff officers, known as Aides-de-Camp (ADCs), to the Chiefs of the Army, Navy and the Air Force will now be appointed from services other than their own. This change, effective from January 1, has been voluntary accepted by the three service chiefs, symbolising a commitment to inter-service integration.
Previously, service chiefs selected their ADCs from within their own branches, often choosing officers from units with which they had a special connection. The new arrangement, part of a comprehensive 200-point reform agenda outlined by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, represents a modest yet meaningful step towards fostering jointness among the services.
The role of an ADC is pivotal, encompassing the management of the chief’s daily affairs, attendance at official events and meetings, scheduling, correspondence and various administrative tasks. Assigning ADCs from different services is expected to promote a deeper understanding and cooperation across the branches, reinforcing the integrated approach essential for modern military operations.
This initiative aligns with broader efforts to cultivate a joint culture within the armed forces. A special Joint Division has been established at the Defence Services Staff College to encourage collaborative and inter-service approaches to warfare, emphasising the importance of integration and mutual understanding.

Army’s Northern Commander Lt General MV Suchindra Kumar visited Kashmir to review the operational preparedness of the troops in the Valley. “Lt Gen MV Suchindra Kumar visited Chinar Corps to review the operational preparedness of the formation,” the Northern Command of the Army posted on its X handle.
Lt Gen Kumar complimented the troops for successful anti-terrorist operations in the valley. “The Army Commander complimented all ranks for successful conduct of counter terrorist operations and exhorted all ranks to maintain professionalism in conduct of operations,” it added.
The visit of top Army officer comes after the recent success of anti-militancy operations in the Valley. Top Hizbul commander Farooq Ahmed Bhat was among the five militants killed in an operation in Kulgam on December 19.
14 foreign militants killed, 13 terror modules busted in Jammu in 2024

Fourteen foreign terrorists were neutralised and 13 terror modules were dismantled in the Jammu region in 2024, while action was taken against 827 individuals for their involvement in anti-national activities, a police spokesperson said.
Additionally, 180 individuals were detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA), an increase from 168 detainees in 2023.
“In 2024, the Jammu zone achieved significant progress in security and crime control. On the anti-terror front, 14 foreign terrorists were neutralised this year,” the spokesperson stated.
The police reported the dismantling of 13 terror modules across the region. “These modules were busted throughout the Jammu zone, including one each in Rajouri and Reasi, two each in Poonch and Kathua, three in Udhampur, and four in Doda,” the spokesperson added.
“The neutralisation of foreign terrorists dealt a critical blow to networks attempting to disrupt peace and stability in the region,” the official noted.
The spokesperson highlighted the constant pressure maintained on anti-national elements. “There was a substantial crackdown on Over Ground Workers (OGWs), with action taken against 827 individuals compared to 282 in the previous year. Additionally, 180 individuals were detained under the PSA, higher than the 168 detainees in 2023,” he said.
The year also witnessed 476 NDPS cases registered. Seizures included 9.9 kg of heroin from the LoC area in the Nowshera sector in April and 33.58 kg from the Jammu bus stand area in August, resulting in multiple arrests. Properties worth significant amounts were seized or frozen in 84 NDPS-related cases, with nine cases confirmed by the competent authority, SAFEMA.
“In the realm of general crime, the Jammu zone witnessed a significant decline in the registration of criminal cases in 2024 (13,163) compared to the previous year (15,774). This positive trend is attributed to the relentless efforts of police personnel in maintaining law and order and ensuring public safety across the region,” the official said.
Property theft cases, excluding motor vehicle thefts, decreased with 944 cases reported compared to 1,321 in 2023, resulting in stolen property valued at Rs 14.18 crore, a reduction from Rs 18.75 crore in the previous year. Motor vehicle theft cases also declined to 507 from 653, with the total value of stolen vehicles amounting to Rs 6.53 crore, down from Rs 7.05 crore in 2023.
The recovery rate for vehicle thefts stood at 47.48%, marginally higher than the 47.38% recorded in 2023. Bovine smuggling cases also saw a significant decrease, with 1,770 cases registered in 2024 compared to 2,600 in 2023.
For cybercrime management, 67 police personnel underwent specialised training to handle cybercrime and online fraud cases. This was part of the operationalisation of 10 cyber cells across all districts of the Jammu zone. “These cyber cells are now fully functional and equipped to address rising incidents of online fraud and cyber-related offenses. The initiative has already resulted in the successful handling of cases and the recovery of Rs 4.75 crore of defrauded funds this year,” the official informed.
