<p><strong>Monsoon Updates:</strong> This year, the southwest monsoon arrived eight days early and covered the entire country nine days ahead of schedule. The normal date for the monsoon to cover the entire country is 8 July. Due to the early arrival of the monsoon, India recorded 7% more rainfall in June, the highest in the last four years.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1.3 Million Hectares Increase in Sowing</h2>

<p><strong>Russia Ukraine War:</strong> Russia launched its largest air attack on Ukraine overnight between Saturday and Sunday. Over 500 drones and missiles were fired at Ukraine. Ukrainian officials reported that the Russian Army launched 477 drones and 60 missiles at Ukraine overnight. A Ukrainian pilot was killed in the attack, and an American F-16 fighter jet (F16) was also destroyed. This is the third F-16 jet Ukraine has lost in this war, a significant blow to both Ukraine and the United States. The F-16 is a multi-role combat aircraft supplied by the US to Ukraine.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Entire Ukraine Targeted</h2>



<p>The Ukrainian Air Force, via Telegram, stated that the F-16 pilot shot down seven air targets using onboard weapons before their aircraft was damaged and crashed while engaging a target.</p>



<p>Yurii Ihnat, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force, said that the attack involved drones and various types of missiles, targeting almost the entire country, including western regions. Poland&#8217;s air force reported on Sunday that they had to deploy aircraft to ensure airspace security in response to the Russian attack.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Missiles Used in the Russian Attack</h2>



<p>Experts suggest that this level of military action could hinder peace talks. They noted that Russia used cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic missiles, along with false targets, to confuse Ukrainian defence systems.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Support for Ukraine</h2>



<p>Ukraine continues to receive support from European countries. The Netherlands and Denmark provided Ukraine with its first batch of F-16 fighter jets, which are being operated with American training and technical support. One of the final two F-16 aircraft was reportedly sent to Ukraine from Volkel Airbase on 26 May 2025, but the loss of another aircraft further strains Ukraine&#8217;s air defence capabilities.</p>

Jaipur: Narayan Singh Circle Foot Overbridge to Be Shifted, CCTV Cameras Planned


<p>Three months have passed since the bus stand was removed from Narayan Singh Tiraha in Jaipur, the capital city, but no significant improvement has been seen in the area. Therefore, CCTV cameras will now be installed within a one-kilometre radius of the intersection. Cameras will also be installed for surveillance around the bus stands operating near the Rotary Circle of Transport Nagar and near Bajri Mandi. This work will be carried out by the DOIT.</p>



<p>According to JDA officials, the foot overbridge built at Narayan Singh Tiraha is planned to be shifted to India Gate, Pratap Nagar. After this, the intersection will be beautified, and encroachments along the roadside will be removed. Buses stopping here will be fined online.</p>



<p>The administration&#8217;s effort is to ensure that buses coming from and going to Delhi and Agra routes stop only in Transport Nagar, and passengers alight there. After that, the buses will go directly to Sindhi Camp. However, the practical situation is that buses are still stopping around Narayan Singh Tiraha, and passengers are alighting there.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amenities to be Improved</h2>



<p>The bus stand shifted to Transport Nagar lacks basic amenities. The Heritage Nagar Nigam will develop facilities for passengers there. High-mast lights will be installed to solve the problem of darkness at night. Also, permanent shade will be provided for protection from sun and rain. The temporary tents currently in place have been damaged.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CCTV Cameras to be Installed Here</h2>



<p>From Prithviraj T-Point to Narayan Singh Tiraha, from Narayan Singh Tiraha to RBI Tiraha, from RBI to Prithviraj Marg T-Point, from Narayan Singh Tiraha to Trimurti Circle, and from Trimurti Circle to Narayan Singh Tiraha.</p>



<p>The bus stand has been shifted from the intersection to Transport Nagar, and the area has been declared a no-parking zone. Despite this, the movement of buses remains the same. Buses are being stopped on Tonk Road near the intersection.</p>

<p>The Delhi government has taken stringent measures to control rising air pollution in the capital. From 1 July 2025, petrol pumps will be prohibited from dispensing fuel to diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years. The primary objective of this decision is to improve Delhi&#8217;s air quality and reduce pollution levels.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons Behind the Decision</h2>



<p>According to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), old vehicles are responsible for 28% of PM 2.5 and 41% of SO2 pollution in Delhi. Vehicles with BS-4 engines emit five and a half times more pollution than those with BS-6 engines. Approximately 6.2 million vehicles in Delhi, including 4.1 million two-wheelers, fall under the ‘end-of-life’ (EOL) category. This measure aims to remove these vehicles from the roads.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enforcement Measures</h2>



<ul>
<li>Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras have been installed at 498 petrol pumps in Delhi to identify older vehicles.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>Petrol pump owners will face action for fueling these vehicles.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>Joint teams from the traffic police, MCD, and the transport department will impound such vehicles from roads and petrol pumps starting 1 July.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>Vehicle owners will be given a chance to retrieve their vehicles after paying a fine, but repeated violations will lead to the vehicle being sent for scrapping.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NCR-Wide Implementation</h2>



<p>This rule will not be limited to Delhi. It will be implemented in Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar, and Sonipat from 1 November 2025. The remaining NCR districts will see this system implemented from 1 April 2026.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Options for Vehicle Owners</h2>



<ul>
<li>Vehicle owners must contact authorised scrapping centres to scrap their old vehicles.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>To drive vehicles outside Delhi-NCR, an NOC must be obtained from the transport department.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>The establishment of scrapping centres and collection centres in states like Punjab will provide relief to vehicle owners.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Objections from Petrol Pump Dealers</h2>



<p>The Delhi Petrol Pump Dealers Association has objected to this rule. They argue that fuel is considered an essential commodity, and refusing to supply it could violate the Essential Commodities Act. Furthermore, they believe it could also impact law and order.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact on Pollution</h2>



<p>The CAQM believes that removing older vehicles will improve Delhi&#8217;s air quality. However, some question whether action against only Delhi&#8217;s EOL vehicles will significantly reduce pollution, given that older vehicles also enter Delhi from outside the NCR.</p>


<p>To curb rising air pollution in Delhi, a ban will be imposed on diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years, effective July 1st.</p>

<p><strong>Paresh Rawal React On Hera Pheri 3:</strong> The controversy surrounding the third installment of the hugely popular Bollywood film, <em>Hera Pheri</em>, has been resolved. Paresh Rawal had initially refused to be a part of the film. Following this, Akshay Kumar&#8217;s company, Cape of Good Films, sent him a legal notice of ₹25 crore. There were then reports that someone else might replace Paresh Rawal as Babu Bhaiya. However, Paresh Rawal himself has now announced that the controversy has been resolved, and he will reprise his role as Babu Bhaiya.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Paresh Rawal&#8217;s Return to Hera Pheri 3</h2>



<p>Speaking on the &#8216;<em>The Himanshu Mehta Show</em>&#8216; about the <em>Hera Pheri 3</em> controversy, Paresh Rawal said, “There is no controversy at all. When something is so well-loved by so many people, we need to be a little more careful. We have a responsibility towards our audience. They are sitting there, loving it so much. You can&#8217;t ignore or take these things lightly. You have to work hard and deliver for them.”</p>

<p>Texas Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis has created history in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. Faf Du Plessis has become the first player to score three centuries in the MLC.</p>



<p>In the 21st match of the season against MI New York, Faf du Plessis played a magnificent unbeaten innings of 103 runs off 53 balls, smashing nine sixes and five fours.</p>



<p>Earlier this season, on June 20th, Faf du Plessis scored a century against San Francisco Unicorns, reaching 100 runs off 51 balls. He also achieved a century on July 8th, 2024, against Washington Freedom, scoring 100 runs from 58 balls.</p>



<p>In the Texas Super Kings vs MI New York match, Texas Super Kings, after losing the toss, batted first and scored 223 runs for the loss of four wickets in their allotted 20 overs. They received an early setback in the second over with the loss of Samit Patel (3) when the score was just three runs.</p>



<p>From there, Faf du Plessis, playing a captain&#8217;s innings, partnered with Saiteja Mukkamalla for an 80-run second-wicket stand. Mukkamalla contributed 25 runs off 18 balls, including three fours. After Mukkamalla&#8217;s dismissal, Du Plessis added a further 57 runs with Marcus Stoinis, who scored 25 runs from 22 balls.</p>



<p>The team had lost three wickets at 140 runs. Faf du Plessis then shared an 81-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Donovan Ferreira.

For MI New York, George Linde and Rushil Ugarukar took two wickets each.</p>

<p>South Korea has long had a significant consumption of dog meat. However, this is set to change. A new law in South Korea has banned the dog meat trade, which will be fully enforced from February 2027. This presents a major challenge for those involved in this business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Future Uncertain for Over 500,000 Dogs</h2>



<p>The passing of this new law in South Korea raises the question of what will happen to the over 500,000 dogs raised on farms? In South Korea, dogs are farmed in a similar manner to poultry farming in several countries, including India.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Was This Law Created?</h2>



<p>According to a Gallup Korea report, meat consumption is declining in South Korea, mirroring global trends. This shift is particularly noticeable among the younger generation, who view dogs as pets rather than food. This is the primary reason behind the enactment of the law banning dog meat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Will Happen to So Many Dogs?</h2>



<p>Although the deadline for the ban on the dog meat trade is more than a year and a half away, those who raise dogs are facing a crisis. They question what will become of so many dogs. Reverend Joo Yeong, a dog farmer, says he wants to sell these dogs at a low price, but there are no buyers.</p>


<p>Over 500,000 dogs in South Korea face an uncertain future. What is the reason for this? Let&#8217;s take a look.</p>

<p>The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has unearthed remnants of a civilisation dating back to 3500-1000 BCE in Bahj village, Dholpur district, Rajasthan. A 23-metre deep ancient river system (palaeochannel) has also been discovered at the same site. Archaeological researchers are connecting this to the Saraswati River mentioned in the Rigveda.</p>



<p>It is claimed that this ancient water system may have been the foundation of a civilisation that flourished along the banks of the Saraswati River. Located fifty kilometres from Mathura, this site is a crucial link in understanding the cultural heritage of the Saraswati basin. Five months of excavation have yielded, besides statues of Hindu deities, ancient ornaments belonging to this civilisation.</p>



<p>At a depth of about 4 metres, a female skeleton and a large number of ancient silver and copper coins have also been found. Following information about the village&#8217;s association with the grandson of Lord Krishna, Vajranatha&#8217;s Kheda, located on the Govindan road, the ASI commenced excavation on 10 January last year. Research on the discovered remains is underway.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Hoard of Mahabharata-Era Pottery Discovered</h2>



<p>Bone tools, semi-precious stone beads and conch bangles, 15 sacrificial pits (yagna kunds), and statues of Shiva and Parvati have been found. These are estimated to be more than 1000 BCE. Seals with Brahmi script, sacrificial pits from the Mahajanapada period filled with sand and soil, and copper coins in small pots have also been unearthed. A treasure trove of pottery from the Mahabharata period has been discovered. Walls have been found beneath the mound.</p>



<p>Jain inscriptions mention Bahj village as Vajnagar. The mounds here are also referred to as Kankali Tila. The name Bahj is believed to be a tadbhava (popularly evolved form) of Vaj Nagari. A significant portion of the village&#8217;s ancient mound is being encroached upon by the expanding settlement. It lies on the Brij Chaurasi Kos Parikrama route.</p>
