The release of BSF jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw marks a significant development in India-Pakistan military relations.

The incident also exposed vulnerabilities in border security, a subject both governments are likely to address.

The operation not only neutralized imminent threats but also served as a reminder of India’s advanced military strategy and tactical precision in conflict zones.
Meanwhile, the Waqf Act hearing in the Supreme Court has garnered nationwide attention.
