Highlights of India Today 17th October 2016, issue:
The cover story 'Crossing a red line' is a detailed account of the Indian Army's surgical strike across the Line of Control in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on September 28 that killed 38 jihadis and destroyed seven terror launch pads.
The lead essay on the cover story 'Game changer' discusses Modi's volatile policy against Pakistan and its terror buds, catching the neighbour State off guard.
The cover package also includes a guest column 'Closing ranks' by Kaswar Klasra in Islamabad that talks about Pakistan's reaction to the surgical strikes and how their 'befitting reply' is nowhere close to initiating a war.
The special report 'Baiting the big fish' is about India's aggressive stand on recovering black money stacked overseas and discusses the validity of the current framework for the same.
This issue's big story 'The Booze Ban' is on Bihar's Prohibition Law and why the state couldn't replicate a 'liquor-mukt' success story like Gujarat .
