4,400 missing, rivers rising again\u2014what awaits flood-hit Nepal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Nepal\u2019s flood disaster is far from over. A fresh alert across seven districts has raised fears of more flooding even as rescuers search for thousands still missing. The death toll has crossed 1,000, while rising rivers and intermittent rain are making rescue operations harder, adding a new layer of risk to an already devastating crisis.<\/p>\n

Nearly 4,400 people remain missing, including foreigners and security personnel, while around 12,000 have been rescued. With fresh alerts now in place, authorities face a race against time to reach those stranded and prevent further losses. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

CJP calls off Delhi march after SC relief \u2014 who still faces action?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The CJP\u2019s Jantar Mantar student protests have reached a legal turning point, with the Supreme Court clearing the way for most cases against protesters to end. The move offers relief to thousands, but not everyone gets a clean slate: proceedings against 2,873 people accused of serious offences, violence or property damage will continue.<\/p>\n

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

The CJP has also withdrawn its September 5 Delhi march following government assurances and the court\u2019s order. But with serious criminal cases still under scrutiny, the focus now shifts to who faces further action and how the remaining cases will proceed. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018They will hang me\u2019: Why does Putin fear peace?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Ending the Ukraine war may be harder for Vladimir Putin than continuing it. For the Russian president, a deal that leaves Donbas outside Moscow\u2019s control could look like defeat at home, weaken his position and fuel anger among powerful figures. That fear may explain why he has resisted major concessions even as pressure for a settlement grows.<\/p>\n

A source close to the Kremlin reportedly told The Economist that Putin once said, \u2018They will hang me.\u2019 The remark highlights the political risk he sees in any deal\u2014and why the next move could matter as much at home as on the battlefield. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

India grows 7.8%, so why is Modi worried about gold?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Gold is becoming a bigger concern for India even as the economy grows at a strong 7.8%. High prices mean every additional import sends more dollars overseas, putting pressure on foreign exchange reserves. That is why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has again asked people to avoid buying gold unless necessary, as India imports nearly 99% of its gold. He had made a similar appeal on 11 May.<\/p>\n

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

But the appeal comes as gold prices hit record levels and the import bill climbs despite lower volumes. With global uncertainty adding pressure, the question now is whether Indians will curb gold purchases\u2014and how this could affect the economy. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

The Day Ahead<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. PM Modi will address the valedictory session of the Ministry of Jal Shakti\u2019s Departmental Summit in New Delhi at 4:30 pm on Wednesday. The 2-day summit aims to deepen cooperative federalism, strengthen the spirit of ‘Team India’ and promote shared ownership of national priorities between the Centre and state governments.<\/p>\n

2. Rahul Gandhi will attend the Congress camp in Nashik at 11 am. The Congress leader will address the 10-day residential training camp organised for the Maharashtra Congress. He is expected to deliver a key address on \u201cGlobal Politics and India\u201d, focusing on the changing world order, modern diplomacy and the need to build democratic economies<\/p>\n

3. Ayodhya\u2019s Shri Ram Temple may soon get its first CEO, signalling a shift towards a more corporate-style management structure. A three-member high-level selection panel\u2014comprising retired Supreme Court Justice Pramod Kohli, retired Lt General Vishnu Kant Chaturvedi and expert member Suresh Haware\u2014has screened over 5,500 applications and submitted a final shortlist of three candidates to Trust President Mahant Nritya Gopal Das.<\/p>\n

4. SC is set to hear petitions challenging punitive \u2018bulldozer justice\u2019. The court is reviewing state-sponsored demolitions to address concerns that municipal laws are being weaponized as public retribution against accused persons. The core argument is that the executive branch cannot act as both investigator, judge, and executioner<\/p>\n

5. SC to hear ED plea seeking CBI probe into alleged West Bengal Police obstruction during I-PAC raid in Kolkata. The ED has sought an independent CBI probe into allegations of criminal obstruction, political interference and tampering with evidence during its search at the I-PAC office.
