The third and final day of state mourning declared as a mark of respect for Pope Francis will be held on Saturday when his funeral mass and burial are carried out, the government said.
The National Flag will be flown at half mast throughout India on all buildings and there will be no official entertainment on the day, an official statement issued Thursday said.

Two days' state mourning was observed on April 22 and April 23, 2025 and one day's state mourning will be observed on the day of the funeral," it said.

A deadly attack in Pahalgam leaves one tourist dead, raising security concerns for the Amarnath Yatra. Urgent safety measures are imperative.

Tragic attack in Pahalgam One Killed

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam results in the death of one tourist, with six others injured. This incident raises concerns over security ahead of the Amarnath Yatra.

Terror attack in Pahalgam claims one life, injures 6 tourists

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, leaves one tourist dead and six injured. It raises security concerns for the upcoming Amarnath Yatra.

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, claimed the life of one tourist and left six others injured.
The attack occurred in the upper meadows of Baisaran Valley, a remote area accessible only by foot or horseback. Security forces and medical teams have swiftly moved to the scene.
The gunmen, reportedly disguised in camouflage, carried out what appears to be a targeted attack.
This incident has shocked the Pahalgam region, renowned for its breathtaking forests, clear lakes, and expansive meadows, attracting countless tourists each year.
This attack comes amid the high tourist season in the region and coincides with the ongoing registration for this year's Amarnath Yatra. The 38-day pilgrimage, one of the holiest journeys for Hindus, commences on July 3.
Devotees embark on this spiritual trek via two routes: the 48-km Pahalgam path through Anantnag district and the shorter, yet steeper, 14-km Baltal route in Ganderbal district.
Recently, during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah presided over a high-level security review meeting. He emphasized the need for the complete eradication of terrorism, particularly focusing on the Jammu division, and stressed a zero-tolerance stance on infiltration.
Condemning the attack, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti stated, "Such violence is unacceptable and must be denounced."
She called for a comprehensive investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable and to scrutinize any security lapses. "Historically, Kashmir has warmly welcomed tourists, making this rare incident deeply concerning. Ensuring visitor safety is paramount, and steps must be taken to prevent future attacks," she added.
As the investigation unfolds, questions about security measures in the region and the impact on the upcoming Amarnath Yatra loom large. Authorities are urged to reinforce safety protocols to protect both citizens and visitors in this sensitive region.

Debendra Pradhan: BJP Leader Passes at 84

Veteran BJP leader Debendra Pradhan, known for his integral role in Odisha's BJP growth, passed away at 84. He held key positions in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, leaving a lasting impact on the party's history in the region.

Veteran BJP leader Debendra Pradhan passes away at 84

Debendra Pradhan, a veteran BJP leader and former Union minister, passed away at 84. He was instrumental in the BJP's growth in Odisha, serving as state president and in national roles.

Debendra Pradhan, former Union minister and a key architect of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Odisha during the 1980s, passed away on Monday at the age of 84.
Pradhan breathed his last at the official residence of his son, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, in New Delhi after a brief illness, as confirmed by family sources.
Born on July 16, 1941, in Talcher, which was then a part of the undivided Dhenkanal district, Pradhan pursued a medical career after obtaining his MBBS degree from SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, in 1966.
He worked as a medical officer until 1973 when he resigned from the government service to engage in social work as a doctor.
His political journey took a decisive turn when he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980, driven by the party's ideology. At a time when the Congress party dominated Odisha's political landscape, Pradhan's commitment saw him quickly rise through the ranks.
He became the president of the BJP's Talcher mandal and later the Dhenkanal district president within three years of joining.
Pradhan's influence in the party grew as he became the president of the Odisha BJP unit in 1988. He was re-elected to the position in 1990 and again in 1995. By 1997, he had risen to the party's national executive level.
His parliamentary career began with his election to the 12th Lok Sabha in 1998 from the now-defunct Deogarh constituency, a seat he successfully retained in 1999. During his first term, he served as the Minister of State for Surface Transport in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government and later as the Minister of State in the Ministry of Agriculture in his second term.
In 2001, Pradhan's stature within the BJP was further solidified with his appointment as the party's national vice-president.
Debendra Pradhan's passing marks the end of an era for the BJP in Odisha, with his contributions leaving an indelible mark on the party's history in the state.

From army chief to dictator to President to outcast - with such a tumultuous path, Pervez Musharraf attracted many enemies, and that too from surprising quarters.
Musharraf was the target of multiple assassination attempts during his tenure as President. What is interesting is that many of the assassination conspiracies were hatched by soldiers of the Pakistani armed forces, and members of terrorist groups given patronage by the Pakistani military.
In April 2002, a remote-controlled car bomb had been placed on Musharraf's route. The detonator failed and an attack on the President was averted.
On 14 December 2003, a bomb exploded near Musharraf's farmhouse in Islamabad. The blast occurred 20-25 minutes after Musharraf's car passed the exact spot. The bomb had been placed in a drainage pipe next to the footpath, and caused a big crater when it went off.
Just 11 days later, Musharraf was targeted by two suicide bombers. Trucks laden with bombs were driven into the President's convoy. Over 15 people died, over 40 were injured, but Musharraf survived.
Four years later, on 6 July 2007, shots were fired at Musharraf's plane during take-off. The aircraft was taking off from a military airfield in Rawalpindi. The plane eventually safely arrived in Turbat town.
In October 2003, a court convicted 3 terrorists for the 2002 assassination plot. In September 2006, Pakistan’s Supreme Court upheld death sentences handed down to 12 men, including soldiers and civilians, convicted of taking part in two assassination plots.
In 2009, a military court in Pakistan convicted two soldiers for being involved in a murder conspiracy against Musharraf. In 2004, the President had reportedly blamed low-ranking Army and Air Force officers for allying with an Al Qaeda operative to take his life.
