All eyes are on the rescue operations which have been intensified to rescue the 41 workers trapped inside the collapsed tunnel in Silkyara in Uttarakhand since November 12, 2023. The authorities have managed to insert wide pipes up to 45 metres and require another few hours to make the breakthrough. 

Ahead of the release of 50 hostages by Hamas as part of a de-escalation drive, the Israeli Health Ministry has issued guidelines to local hospitals for feeding patients suffering from malnutrition, according to a report in Israeli news outlet Ynet.

Imran Khan, Pakistan's only Cricket World Cup-winning captain-turned-ousted prime minister, may lose the bat as the electoral symbol of his Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political party.
