The political scene in India was dominated by Parliament’s Winter
Session, where the Opposition demanded a debate on the
controversial Special Intensive Revision of electoral
rolls despite a crowded legislative agenda;
simultaneously, internal party instability plagued the ruling
Congress government in Karnataka due to fierce
leadership succession disputes. On the security front, the NIA
conducted widespread raids in Jammu and Kashmir, linking ongoing
counter-terrorism efforts to the 2000 Red Fort blast
case, while the government declared 15 figures,
including Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya, as Fugitive
Economic Offenders for massive banking fraud. Severe
weather conditions impacted the south, as Cyclonic storm
Ditwah brought intense rainfall and flooding to Chennai,
prompting India to allow Pakistan to use its
airspace for a humanitarian aid mission to affected Sri
Lanka. Socially, the Hyderabad Metro made strides in inclusivity
by inducting 20 transgender individuals into frontline
security roles, aiming to bolster commuter safety.
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) released
key guidelines on GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, emphasizing
treating obesity as a chronic condition, and climate scientists
warned that Antarctica’s Southern Ocean could abruptly
release stored planetary heat, complicating climate
recovery efforts. Finally, India's sports landscape faced drama
following the abrupt resignation of the women’s hockey
coach and visible tensions among senior players and
coaching staff in the men’s ODI cricket team.
