India has voiced strong concerns over Pakistan's unexpected naval expansion, especially with China's growing influence in the region. As Pakistan focuses on building its military capabilities, including new submarines and warships, India questions whether this expansion is taking place at the expense of the welfare of Pakistan's citizens, particularly amid rising inflation and economic struggles. In this video, we explore the geopolitical implications of this naval growth, how China is involved, and what it means for regional security in the Indian Ocean. Will Pakistan's military buildup lead to increased tensions with India, or will it exacerbate the economic difficulties its people are already facing?

A body has been recovered from a flooded coal mine in the 3 Kilo area of Umrangso, where nine workers became trapped on January 6. Despite ongoing search and rescue efforts by teams, including a joint diving team and the Indian Navy deep divers, conditions remain harsh within the 300-foot-deep mine, significantly reducing chances of survival. The mine is believed to be illegal, and one person has been arrested in connection with the incident. The authorities are working to pump out water from the mine using high-power pumps, with the water level reported to have decreased to about 100 feet.
