VK News Today https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html Leo Horoscope Today, July 5, 2026: Be kind to women in your life Monsoon session from July 20, govt hopes to push key bills in Parliament PM Modi While people were busy spreading rumours of a crisis, govt was quietly ramping up domestic LPG production, diversifying crude supplies and leveraging diplomacy to shield consumers from shortages and steep price shocks during the worst energy crisis in decades caused by the West Asia war, PM Modi said on Saturday.Speaking at the inauguration of HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd’s greenfield refinery-cum-petrochemical complex at Pachpadra in Rajasthan’s Balotra district, Modi said the refinery was part of a sustained expansion of the country’s refining capacity. “Not a single new refinery has been built in the US in the last 50 years, while Europe’s refining capacity has steadily declined. India has become the 4th-largest refining nation in the world, and we’ll continue to expand this capacity.”India overcame what he described as the biggest energy crisis of the 21st century through timely policy interventions and strategic decisions that enabled the country to weather the disruption.Timely policies helped weather oil crisis: PM ModiPrime Minister Modi said timely policy interventions and strategic decisions enabled the country to weather the disruption in the oil crisis while many nations grappled with fuel shortages and soaring prices.“While some forces were busy spreading rumours and fear publicly, behind the scenes, immense work was being done day and night,” Modi said, in what appeared to be a dig at opposition who had predicted an economic tsunami.“Those who wished to see India fail, who even made predictions of failure, must today be drowning in despair,” the PM added.Recounting the crisis, the PM said that immediate challenge was keeping enough stocks of cooking gas, as India imports around 60% of its LPG requirement, with nearly 90% of those supplies coming from Gulf countries through the Strait of Hormuz before the conflict.“You can imagine the chaos that could have erupted,” Modi said, adding that as soon as the crisis began, refineries were asked to maximise LPG production. As a result, LPG production rose from 35,000 tonnes to 54,000 tonnes within seven days.Govt also expanded piped natural gas connections to reduce pressure on LPG supplies, he said. Modi said despite the disruption, domestic consumers were protected from the full impact of the price surge. The conflict also pushed crude oil prices from around $70 a barrel to $120 and disrupted supply lines. There was no fuel rationing even for a day, the PM stressed. He also said that oil companies in India absorbed losses of more than Rs 75,000 crore between April and June.Modi credited India’s diplomatic outreach for helping diversify energy imports during the crisis. Before the conflict, India sourced crude and other energy supplies from about 26 countries. During the crisis, that number increased to more than 40. “India sent a clear message to the world — for us, national interest and the welfare of our citizens are paramount,” he said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

As vehicles become smarter, with more software driving systems, the risk of malware attacks is no longer science fiction. In response, the road transport ministry has proposed sweeping rules to make cybersecurity and software update management mandatory for vehicles equipped with advanced systems.For the first time, the ministry has put out draft rules to make cybersecurity and software update management mandatory for certain categories of vehicles in India. The proposed cybersecurity rules will apply to passenger and commercial vehicles and tractors equipped with at least one electronic control unit (ECU) with Level-3 or higher automated driving capability.It says compliance with cybersecurity and cybersecurity management systems would be mandatory for new models of vehicles with Level-3 automation and above, such as Mercedes-Benz S Class, Audi A8, and BMW 7 Series, from Oct. This would be applicable for existing models from next April. Vehicles capable of receiving over-the-air (OTA) software updates will be next, between April and Oct 2028, followed by all other vehicles with software update capability from Oct 2029.’OTA’ in cars refers to the wireless delivery of software, firmware, or system updates directly to a vehicle via cellular networks or Wi-Fi. This is similar to smartphone updates, as it eliminates the need to visit a dealership for repairs, enhancements, or new features. Govt is also working on strategies to deal with the risk of any IT system remotely controlling battery and electric vehicles. Officials said there is a need to go for secure coding for a battery management system designed to monitor and manage the health and state of a battery pack. This has to be done by the vehicle manufacturers.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Those responsible for approving, publishing and distributing it must be identified and held accountable,” he said, demanding Itoo’s dismissal and a probe covering officials, “including those at the ministerial level”.In Jammu, J&K Peoples’ Forum alleged the book used terms such as “India-occupied Kashmir”, described JKLF’s Bhat as “Shaheed-e-Azam” and projected him as a “great personality”. Bhat was hanged and buried in Tihar jail in Feb 1984 after being convicted of killing a CID inspector.Congress also demanded a high-level probe and action against those responsible.CM Omar Abdullah declined comment, saying he had not read the book. Itoo could not be reached despite repeated calls.According to school education commissioner secretary Ram Niwas Sharma, library grants for 18,328 govt schools and 394 PM Shri schools were received under Samagra Shiksha. He said four sub-committees comprising experts and academicians from both Jammu and Kashmir divisions were constituted to select appropriate books.The sub-committees shortlisted 463 books submitted by 364 publishers. Sharma didn’t reveal the shortlist date.The department later pored over the books and found “highly inappropriate content” in “Personalities and Legends of J&K” by Hilal Ahmad and Santosh Meena and “Great Personalities of Jammu and Kashmir” by Sushant Giri.By then, however, 123 copies of the first book had already reached schools in Jammu, Ramban and Udhampur, while 128 copies of the second were supplied to Jammu and Baramulla before both were withdrawn. Authors and publishers were blacklisted and all their publications ordered removed from J&K.Govt suspended Fazil Imran Saddiqui, Gurjeet Singh, Sanjeev Sharma, Shazia Kousar, Imtiyaz Ahmad Mir, Niranjan Sharma, Renu Mengi and Rajmohini, disengaged a contractual computer assistant and appointed financial commissioner Ashwani Kumar to complete an inquiry within 30 days.The row revived a long-running battle over narratives in J&K. Last Aug, LG-led administration banned 25 books, alleging they promoted “false narratives”, secessionism and glorified terrorism, in what officials described as a push against “narrative warfare” in Kashmir.

Soon after, a video went viral purportedly showing the couple identifying themselves while responding to questions from an unseen person, believed to be a security official.While Iram was let off soon and spared a case, Mir was booked under several laws, including the Foreigners Act. However, an Uri court later accepted J&K police’s final report saying Mir had crossed over for Iram and closed the case, resulting in his acquittal.Police officials confirmed it was a case of love, with the two families on two sides of the border related and the couple communicating with each other through social media. Mir’s family was originally from Uri but migrated to PoK decades ago, the officers added.Iram’s family had kept in touch with Mir during the time legal proceedings were on and he was kept at Uri police station. “We got clothes and shoes for him,” said Afroza Begam, Iram’s mother.Saturday’s meeting was fleeting, though. Afroza said they were allowed to see Mir only for three minutes before he was taken for repatriation. “He was calm and told us not to cry,” she said.According to Afroza, Mir was treated by the Indian Army “like a guest”. “We hope they (PoK authorities) treat him nicely,” Afroza said. She expressed hope that Mir and Iram can get married soon. “Hope Iram’s visa is approved,” Afroza added.The Army stressed that Mir was taken care of well. “During his stay in India, Mir was treated with dignity, compassion and due care, reflecting the Indian’s Army commitment to humanitarian values and professional conduct,” the Army said in a statement.Get the latest India news and live updates.

We have a duty to express our gratitude to Sonia Gandhi, who granted us Telangana. Walk with me and let us make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister in 2029. And the first step towards this must be taken right here from Midjil Mandal,” he added.Addressing a public meeting after laying foundation stones for development works in Midjil Mandal, Reddy appealed to the public to express their gratitude to Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi for the statehood of Telangana by backing Rahul Gandhi’s prime ministerial bid.”Congress will remain in power until 2034. Congress must come back to power in the state, and Rahul Gandhi must become the Prime Minister of this country. There is a historical necessity in the country to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister,” Reddy said.Reddy’s appeal to the people of Telangana is significant, given that the state has traditionally been a Congress stronghold before the formation of the BRS. The Congress returned to power in Telangana in December 2023, ending the BRS’s 10-year rule, and has since been focusing on consolidating its position in the state.Get the latest India news and live updates.
