- Two members of the Naga community were killed and two others were injured in a fresh gun attack in Manipur's Kangpokpi district, raising new concerns over the security situation in the state.
The incident took place around 8 AM on Friday in the Langka area of Kangpokpi, a district largely dominated by the Kuki community.
According to officials, the victims were allegedly attacked by armed Kuki village volunteers. The attackers have not yet been identified, and an investigation is currently underway.

According to Dipke, the campaign aims to improve basic facilities in rural government schools, including classrooms, benches, drinking water, sanitation, infrastructure and road connectivity.

Inspectors reportedly found expired rava, icing sugar, maida and bakery products, along with stale bread, expired mixture and pani puri packets. Officials also flagged plastic chopping boards and several misbranded food products.
The findings came during a wider three-day food safety crackdown across Bengaluru, which covered 60 hotels and collected 77 food samples. Authorities also reported seizures of expired and mislabelled food, rotten vegetables, expired dairy products and used cooking oil.
When food is being served inside a hospital, should the safety bar be even higher? Who is responsible for monitoring hospital canteens — and are inspections enough to prevent dangerous lapses?

Maharashtra has made working knowledge of Marathi mandatory for commercial passenger vehicle drivers, including drivers working with app-based platforms such as Ola, Uber and Rapido.
The 2026 amendments to the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Rules reinforce the requirement and remove ambiguity around app-based cabs. Drivers who fail to comply could face licence suspension for up to three months or cancellation.
The government says practical Marathi is necessary for passenger communication, safety and equal regulation. Critics argue that harsh enforcement could threaten the livelihoods of migrant drivers and turn a language requirement into a political tool.

The campaign asks parents and citizens to conduct a three-step social audit covering drinking water, toilets, electricity, classrooms, boundary walls, mid-day meals and teacher attendance — and then submit evidence to local authorities.
The campaign also comes amid protests by children in Uttar Pradesh's Hamirpur over a poor road connecting their school to nearby villages.
Is citizen-led auditing the answer to rural India's school infrastructure gaps? Can local communities force accountability — and turn complaints into action?

The paper covered governance, political structures, religious traditions and different interpretations of the 13th and 14th centuries.

Delhi University says the changes are part of a broader restructuring to reduce duplication and introduce a more flexible, multidisciplinary programme.
But critics argue that dropping specialised papers could limit advanced research into key periods of Indian history.

- A major safety concern has emerged after an Air India flight from Phuket to Delhi suddenly dropped nearly 300 feet, injuring several passengers and crew members.
According to Airbus' initial findings, the aircraft lost key flight controls for around four seconds after all three hydraulic systems reportedly failed simultaneously.
The Airbus A320neo's elevators, ailerons and spoilers were all affected, causing the aircraft's control surfaces to move without any pilot input. The autopilot disconnected, cockpit stall warnings were triggered, and the pilots briefly lost control before the hydraulic systems recovered.
The investigation has also taken a dramatic turn after the pilot-in-command reportedly tested positive for marijuana following the flight.
Airbus experts and investigators from France's BEA have already examined the aircraft, while India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau continues its probe.

- U.S President Donald Trump has confirmed he secretly switched planes after the NATO summit in Turkey last month, following a possible Iranian threat. Trump said the Secret Service and military instructed him to use a different aircraft, adding that he simply followed their orders. The dramatic switch reportedly came after US intelligence detected a credible threat that Iran could target the president's plane. Reports said intelligence also identified a person near the NATO summit who was allegedly seen with a shoulder-fired missile. Trump had initially boarded Air Force One in front of television cameras on July 8. But he was then secretly moved through a catering truck to a smaller military aircraft, a C-32A, while journalists and some White House staff remained on the original plane. Trump said the replacement aircraft may have actually been at greater risk because it could have been the more likely target.
