India's most wanted Masood Azhar seen in POK as per intelligence

On this Special Report, Aman Bhardwaj reports from Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh, on the severe cold wave gripping Punjab and Haryana. The region is experiencing 'bone-chilling cold conditions' with temperatures plummeting to zero degrees Celsius in several cities. Aman Bhardwaj notes that the Meteorological department has issued a red alert for the region, with a yellow alert extending until 7th January. Despite the dense fog enveloping Sukhna Lake and obscuring the Shivalik range, residents are seen continuing their morning routines of jogging and exercising while trying to stay warm. The report highlights that cities like Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Hisar, and Narnaul have recorded temperatures between 0 to 1 degree. The weather department has advised citizens to safeguard themselves against the freezing conditions as the cold wave persists across the northern states.

The bulletin reports on India–Pakistan DGMO-level talks held today over alleged terror drones, and a briefing attributed to the Indian Army chief. The key message highlighted is that India told Pakistan drone activity is 'unacceptable'. The speaker says the Army chief stated 'Operation Sindoor' is ongoing and that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is sensitive but under control. The report also claims the drone issue was raised directly with Pakistani military officials, warning that any attack or intrusion could invite retaliation. It further states that drones are being used for infiltration, surveillance and weapon drops, and that Indian forces have been foiling such attempts.

The bulletin reports that a delegation of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders met the RSS general secretary at the RSS headquarters in a meeting that lasted about half an hour, described by sources as a courtesy call. It also says the same delegation had visited the BJP headquarters in New Delhi and met BJP general secretary Arun Singh. The report states the delegation was led by Chinese Vice Minister Sun Haiyan and frames the outreach as the first major political engagement since the 2020 Galwan Valley clashes. A key quote aired is: 'There should be interaction and communication between Bharatiya Janata Party and Communist Party of China.' The bulletin adds that Congress has criticised the timing, citing territorial claims and construction activity in the Shaxkum valley under the CPEC corridor.

An unidentified speaker, presented in the bulletin as the Army Chief, delivers a warning on terrorism and says the operation is continuing. The key line is: 'Operation Sindoor remains ongoing. Any future misadventure will be resolutely responded to.' The speaker also describes a shift towards network-enabled multi-domain operations and lists planned capabilities including BrahMos extended range, Pinaka, QR-SAM extended range, drones and munitions. The transcript mentions reduced acquisition timelines under emergency procurement, greater funding, and empowerment of commanders with procurement powers. It also details logistics modernisation with logistic drones and robotic mules, claims major progress on indigenisation of ammunition, and outlines initiatives on quantum, AI platforms, sovereign LLM development, and the secure Samba mobile phone.
