Nepal\u2019s flood disaster has now turned into a question of warnings, preparedness and whether crucial information reached the right people in time. China says it warned Nepal 12 days before the August 26 floods, after allegations that it withheld vital glacier-related data. The dispute matters as the death toll continues to rise across Nepal and Tibet. Nepal says the information was incomplete, particularly on avalanches, water levels and landslides. With thousands reportedly still missing, the focus is now on what warnings were shared, what was missed and whether earlier action could have reduced the devastation. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

India\u2019s balancing act between diplomacy and conflict is back in focus as global wars reshape alliances. At the SCO Summit in Bishkek, PM Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin and pressed for a shift from \u2018endless wars\u2019 towards peace. He backed efforts to end ongoing conflicts and invited Putin to the BRICS Summit in September.<\/p>\n

The message comes as West Asia remains tense and India engages Iran, Russia and other regional players. With the SCO focused on peace and prosperity, Modi\u2019s meetings could offer clues to India\u2019s diplomatic priorities. READ MORE<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

A protest that drew police action is now before the Supreme Court, while another march has been cleared to go ahead in Delhi. The government wants FIRs against students who protested at Jantar Mantar quashed, invoking Article 142. At the same time, the court has refused to stay the CJP march scheduled for September 5, saying there is no reasonable basis to expect an untoward incident.<\/p>\n

The ruling puts the focus back on policing, protest rights and public order. The administration must now ensure the march remains peaceful and lawful, while the court considers the government\u2019s plea on the FIRs. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n
