Last week, a controversy erupted when the Centre stated that six soldiers died in attacks from Pakistan. The opposition seized upon the govt’s statement and cited the speech made by the minister in Lok Sabha to allege that he had misled the country. Tagging the proceedings of Lok Sabha to the petition, Venugopal wrote to Speaker Om Birla that breach of privilege proceedings should be initiated against the minister. In his letter to Birla, Venugopal said that on July 28, 2025, during discussions on the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor that followed, Rajnath Singh said that no harm was caused to the Indian soldiers. However, in contrast, a statement has now been issued that said six armed forces personnel died during Operation Sindoor. Though moved by Congress, the privilege notice appears to have the concurrence of the opposition parties who joined hands in attacking the Modi govt after it made public the death of six soldiers. The issue is likely to figure in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament.Get the latest India news and live updates.

The opposition keeps raising questions over SIR even though SC has rejected pleas against the process and recognised EC’s power to do so,” BJP’s chief spokesperson and MP Anil Baluni said. He said Congress and other opposition parties keep harping about SIR as an excuse to hide their electoral failures and asked them to instead reflect on their continuous rejection by people in elections. “SIR is not being done for the first time. It was carried out during previous govts, including those of the Congress, as well,” Baluni added. BJP also noted that EC has carried out SIR in states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu as well where opposition won in recent elections, accusing opposition parties of hypocrisy by blaming the exercise for their losses in other states.Get the latest India news and live updates.

He emphasised that there is no “intrusion” into the Indian side, though transgressions are committed by both countries from time to time due to the absence of clear border demarcation. “There is no intrusion. Transgressions from both sides happen due to the absence of demarcation,” he told TOI. The Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal West rued the lack of infrastructure development in the border region of state, the largest in area in the Northeast, during the tenure of earlier Central govts. He said that the Modi-led govt has prioritised building infra in the region. The allegation of Chinese incursion into Indian territory came into focus after a tribal body representing a community living along the border alleged that People’s Liberation Army of China has occupied parts of their ancestral grazing, hunting and farming land in Upper Subansiri district over the past six years, prompting calls for official verificationGet the latest India news and live updates.

On X, Modi said he reiterated the importance of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz for India and the world, and called for lasting peace. An Indian readout said Modi welcomed the understanding between US and Iran and reiterated India’s position that all issues must be resolved through dialogue & diplomacy. “PM reiterated the need for continued efforts to ensure lasting peace and stability in the region, and for safeguarding freedom of navigation and commerce,” said the readout.Modi said on X, “Welcomed the progress made in the negotiations and expressed hope that continued efforts will lead to lasting peace in the region. Reiterated the importance of freedom of navigation in the Hormuz Strait for India and the world.” Pezeshkian had invited Modi earlier for the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that begins on July 4. However, India has decided to send MoS for external affairs Pabitra Margherita and Bihar governor Syed Ata Hasnain for the multi-day programme. An Iranian readout said Modi told Pezeshkian India would be sending a special delegation for the funeral. This was the third conversation between Modi and Pezeshkian since the war in West Asia started on Feb 28. The talks took place amid uncertainty over diplomatic efforts to implement the June 17 interim peace deal. India’s delicate balancing act has seen Modi condemning attacks on GCC countries while remaining engaged with Pezeshkian and stressing that India remained a friend of Iran.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Abench of Justices M M Sundresh and Sheel Nagu passed the order on a plea of Bharat Petroleum challenging a Karnataka HC order which had directed various oil marketing companies to consider and decide a representation submitted by a distillery seeking enhancement of ethanol allocation for 2025-26. Venkataramani, appearing for BP, submitted that HC order could destabilise the national policy for 20% ethanol-petrol blending. He urged SC to have all matters pertaining to the issue transferred to the court as adjudication of similar petitions were pending in Bombay and Patna HCs. The AG said that ethanol supply contracts were finalised in Oct 2025 itself and several petitions were pending in various HCs. He sought a week’s time to file transfer petitions. The HC had passed the order on the plea of one M/S Vinp Distilleries and Sugar Private Limited, a dedicated ethanol manufacturer, which approached the court challenging reduced allocation of ethanol supply.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Though originally the Board was supposed to have a full time chairman and members with more powers, most of the provisions have been diluted.TOI has learnt that the Board will be headed by Nitin Gokarn, a former UP cadre IAS, who had earlier served as joint secretary dealing with transport and road safety in the road transport ministry. The entity will have members, including govt officers.Road transport minister Nitin Gadkari has approved names of Gokarn as chairman and six independent experts as members — Satyendra Garg, a former IPS officer, Assam transport commissioner Gaurav Upadhayay, Dr Gautham Melur Sukumar, professor of epidemiology at NIMHANS, K C Sharma (advisor in road transport ministry), Arushi Baluja of IRTE, Harsh Paddar, SP of Nagpur (rural) and Piyush Tiwari of Save Life Foundation.Initially, the ministry had proposed to appoint chairman and members through a search-cum-selection process, but it was later changed to nomination by govt.The ministry had notified the amended Rules on October 27, 2025 for setting up of the Board and the nomination of members.As per the Rules, the chairman will serve a three-year term and may be reappointed for one additional term of up to two years, subject to an upper age limit of 65 years. The chairman and members won’t receive salaries but will be entitled to allowances for attending meetings and for travel and accommodation. The Board will be tasked with promoting road safety awareness, developing a national road safety information system, improving road infrastructure safety and strengthening coordination between the Centre and states on road safety measures.The Board will meet at least once every three months, with a quorum of 50% of the members in position.

They said some visitors have ignored regulations, and last week authorities fined a driver Rs 50,000 after his vehicle was seen driving on the Gulmarg Golf Course.Tariq Hussain, chief executive officer of the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA), said the restrictions will take effect on July 5. Under the order, entry of all four-wheeled vehicles into Gulmarg will be regulated according to the last digit of their registration number. Hussain said vehicles with registration numbers ending in odd digits will be allowed to enter only on odd-numbered calendar days, while those ending in even digits will be allowed only on even-numbered days.The restrictions will remain in force from 8 am to 8 pm each day.For the time being, he said, freight and goods vehicles will be exempt.Hussain said the measure will be implemented on a trial basis for one month, from July 5 through Aug 5. Authorities will assess its impact on traffic management, environmental conditions and visitor convenience in coordination with the police, traffic authorities and other departments before deciding whether to continue the system.The GDA order justifies the regulations stating that the unprecedented increase in vehicular traffic entering Gulmarg has resulted in congestion, deterioration of ambient air quality, excessive noise levels pressure on limited road infrastructure, obstruction to emergency services, degradation of public spaces and adverse impacts on the fragile alpine ecosystem and visitor experience.It said that a comprehensive meeting in this regard was held with all the departments concerned on June 23 wherein it was suggested that vehicular traffic need to be restricted in the Gulmarg area.Get the latest India news and live updates.
