⌨The newspapers report on India's escalating diplomatic confrontation with Pakistan at the UN, where Indian officials accused Islamabad of violating the Indus Water Treaty while simultaneously supporting terrorism (Aaj Tak, Firstpost, NDTV). India's Chief of Defence Staff revealed that despite losing fighter jets in recent conflicts with Pakistan, India adapted tactics to "hit Pakistan hard," while politicians continue exposing Pakistan's contradictions, including terrorist Lakhvi fathering a child while imprisoned (Times of India, Jagran, Jansatta). Natural disasters dominate domestic coverage as the death toll from northeastern floods and landslides has risen to 25-30 people across Assam, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, with 1,500 tourists stranded in Sikkim and 13 houses collapsed in landslides (Dainik Bhaskar, India Today, Zee News).
