Too drunk to walk? Karnataka to drop heavily intoxicated revellers home, sets up rest centres for New Year crowds [Watch]

Parameshwara added that strict instructions have been issued to bars and pubs, and the government is closely monitoring arrangements to prevent any mishaps in crowded areas. "In some districts, such activity does not take place. But in places like Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi, Belagavi and Mangaluru, people come out onto the streets to celebrate. In Bengaluru especially, a large number of people come from outside the state. Kannadigas are fewer in number; many come from elsewhere, drink and enjoy. When large crowds gather, there can be pushing and jostling. That is why we are paying extra attention," he said. 6 days ago
ISKP emerges as Pakistan's new deniable proxy against India

ISKP emerges as Pakistan's new deniable proxy against India

An Intelligence Bureau official said that plans are already afoot to expand the footprint of the ISKP into India, with the main focus being Jammu and Kashmir. This is a dangerous game that Pakistan is playing, as the final goal is to infiltrate India. While the ISKP has immense capabilities for carrying out large-scale strikes, the benefit Pakistan would gain is the deniability factor. The ISKP is not a Pakistan-based group. It is headquartered in Afghanistan, and hence if an attack is carried out in India, the trail would not lead back to Islamabad, officials say. 6 days ago
