surkhian comes from surkh which in Farsi/Urdu means Red (or Bright).

surkhi means redness or highlight.

surkhian (plural) in context of news means flash or highlights. In news paper sense, it means bold headlines.

Doordarshan used world 'mukhya samachar', to my memory. ("ab tak ke mukhya samachar, ek baar phir").

Popularizing 'surkhian' is another contribution like 'taza khabar', of the so called Hindi channels like aajtak, sahara, zeetv and ibn-"hindi".
