CHANDIGARH:  Pathankot, where a terror attack claimed the lives of 7 military personnel in January, is on alert as police received reports that four suspicious men in army fatigues have been seen in the area. A massive search operation is on, during which the police found army uniforms, caps and belts dumped near some bushes.

The men, a woman caller had told the police, were seen near Chakki Khadd on Pathankot-Himachal border. The Punjab officials have alerted their counterparts in Himachal Pradesh.

No More Peace Talks, Majority Of Indians Want To Use Military To Fight Terror

India might love its soft power, but Indians favour getting tough with the world. A majority (62 per cent) Indians believe using overwhelming military force is the best way to defeat terrorism, while a similar number of Indians (63%) want to increase defense spending.

The annual Pew Research Center's survey of the state of the nation found two-thirds of the Indian public satisfied with the direction of the country and eight-in-ten think the economy is doing well. Prime minister Narendra Modi's favourable rating remains high, at 81 per cent, even though its down from 87 per cent in 2015. Bruce Stokes, director global economic attitudes at Pew told TOI, "These figures are striking. Modi is doing better than Obama in the US or Angela Merkel in Germany."
