<p>Heavy rain and landslides have wreaked havoc in Himachal Pradesh, resulting in the death of 85 people so far. In the past 24 hours, 208 roads have been blocked. This news is crucial for anyone travelling to Himachal Pradesh by road.</p>



<p>According to the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), 54 deaths were directly caused by landslides, flash floods, and cloudbursts, while 31 deaths resulted from road accidents.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NH-003 Also Blocked</h2>



<p>The SDMA reported that 204 roads were blocked due to heavy rainfall in the last 24 hours. This includes National Highway NH-003, connecting Mandi to Dharampur via Kotli. Furthermore, 192 distribution transformers (DTRs) and 740 water supply schemes have been disrupted across the state.</p>



<p>Mandi district is the worst affected, with 138 roads blocked and disruptions to electricity and water supply.</p>



<p>In Kullu, 20 roads are blocked due to heavy rainfall, while significant damage has also been reported in Sirmaur and Kangra districts. The department provided this information in its latest update.</p>

<p><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><strong>America-Tariff War:</strong> US President Donald Trump has imposed heavy tariffs on Brazil, a founding member of the </span>BRICS. He announced a 50 per cent import tariff on Brazil.</p>



<p>In response, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has threatened economic retaliation against the US. President Silva stated that if the US unilaterally increases import tariffs, Brazil will take reciprocal action. We will respond to the US under the law of economic reciprocity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump cites Bolsonaro&#8217;s treatment as a reason for tariffs</h2>



<p>Donald Trump stated that the US&#8217;s decision to impose a 50 per cent tax was made in light of the treatment of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is currently facing accusations of plotting a coup in Brazil.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lula: We are a sovereign nation; external interference is unacceptable</h2>



<p>Brazilian President Lula responded sharply to Trump&#8217;s statement. President da Silva said that Brazil is a sovereign nation with its own independent institutions. We will not accept any kind of external interference. He stated that the ongoing proceedings against former President Bolsonaro are entirely under the purview of the judiciary. No external pressure will be accepted.</p>



<p>President Lula stated that freedom of expression in Brazil does not mean violence, aggression, or spreading hatred. He said that Brazil will not tolerate any kind of online hate speech, racism, child exploitation, or any other form of abuse. President da Silva said that all companies operating in the country, whether domestic or foreign, must abide by Brazilian laws. He added that over the past 15 years, trade between the US and Brazil has benefited the US by $410 billion, according to US reports.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Open threat to BRICS; Trump calls himself a smart president</h2>



<p>Trump also issued a direct threat to the countries in the BRICS group. Trump said that the BRICS organisation was created to harm the US and will soon face a 10 percent tariff. He said that BRICS wants to weaken the dollar and remove it from the global standard. They will have to pay a heavy price for this. He said that with a smart president, you won&#8217;t lose the dollar&#8217;s position, but a foolish president, as last time, will lose the dollar. Weakening the dollar means losing a world war.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Countries affected by tariffs</h2>



<p>On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump announced heavy tariffs on seven countries: Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Moldova, and the Philippines. These import tariffs will come into effect on August 1st. Furthermore, US President Donald Trump has also included Myanmar, Laos, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Tunisia, Indonesia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bangladesh, Serbia, Cambodia, and Thailand in his policy.</p>

<p><strong>NASA Employee Reduction:</strong> The Trump administration plans to lay off 2,145 employees from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). This move is part of a broader reduction in the federal workforce and aims to decrease government spending.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Voluntary Retirement Offered</h2>



<p>Reports suggest this downsizing could cause significant upheaval within NASA&#8217;s workforce of 18,000 employees. 1,818 of these employees work in mission areas related to science or human spaceflight, while others are in mission support roles such as IT. The administration is using measures such as voluntary retirement, buyouts, and deferred resignations to implement this reduction.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Layoffs in Other Companies</h2>



<p>This move is part of an executive order issued by the Trump administration in February, aimed at reducing the federal bureaucracy and eliminating some government programs. The US Supreme Court recently approved this plan, paving the way for large-scale layoffs in other federal agencies besides NASA.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Result of Budget Cuts</h2>



<p>However, this decision has also faced criticism. Labour unions and non-profit organisations have expressed concern that this could impact crucial government services and jeopardise the livelihoods of thousands of employees. NASA has asked its employees to decide on voluntary retirement or resignation by 25 July, a consequence of the pressure from budget cuts.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Part of Trump Administration&#8217;s Strategy</h2>



<p>This step is part of the Trump administration&#8217;s broader strategy, which claims to increase government efficiency and reduce unnecessary spending. But experts say that such cuts in a crucial scientific organisation like NASA could negatively impact space research and scientific progress.</p>

<p>Lalu Prasad Yadav has received a major setback ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections. The Jharkhand High Court has accepted a CBI petition to increase his sentence in a case related to the fodder scam. The court has accepted the criminal appeal filed by the CBI to increase the sentences of Lalu Prasad and three other accused. The CBI had filed the petition to increase the sentence of those convicted in the case of fraudulent withdrawal of ₹89 lakh from Deoghar in the fodder scam.</p>



<p>The bench of Jharkhand High Court Justices Rangon Mukhopadhyay and Ambuj Nath accepted the petition. The CBI had filed a criminal appeal to increase the sentence in the case of illegal withdrawal from the Deoghar treasury in the fodder scam. The petition filed by the CBI appealed for an increased sentence for Lalu Prasad, Beck Julius, Subir Bhattacharjee, R.K. Rana, Phoolchand Singh, and Mahesh Prasad. Of these, R.K. Rana, Phoolchand Singh, and Mahesh Prasad are deceased. Therefore, the hearing was held for the remaining three.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">People Panicked by Sudden Earthquake </h2>



<p>On Thursday morning, people in Ghaziabad, Baghpat, Meerut, and Noida in Uttar Pradesh, as well as in the nation&#8217;s capital, Delhi, were suddenly jolted. The reason? Earthquake tremors. Tremors were felt in all these districts. These tremors lasted for about 10 seconds, causing people to flee their offices and homes in fear. This was partly because the tremors were quite strong. A similar earthquake occurred on February 17th. At 9:01 AM, similar tremors struck again. Ceiling fans in buildings began to sway. Those who were on the streets also felt the tremors, which lasted for about ten seconds. The Delhi-NCR region is quite sensitive to earthquakes. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was 4.1. Had it been slightly stronger, the earthquake could have caused significant damage.</p>


<p>Earthquake: A ten-second earthquake, centred in Jhajjar, Haryana, shook Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Baghpat, and Meerut.</p>

<p><strong>Sunil Gavaskar Birthday:</strong> Sunil Gavaskar, Indian cricket&#8217;s &#8216;Little Master&#8217;, is counted among the greatest batsmen in the world. This former captain played many outstanding innings during a time when fast bowlers dominated the cricket field. It was an era when batsmen had neither superior bats nor much protective equipment. Even so, Gavaskar played many courageous innings.</p>



<p>Born on July 10, 1949, in Mumbai, Sunil Gavaskar was small in stature, but his reputation in the cricket world was immense. On the cricket field, he was fearless and undaunted. In 1981, a Test match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground saw a decision by Sunil Gavaskar that shook the cricket world.</p>



<p>Team India had lost the first match of the series, played in Sydney. After that, India managed to draw the second match. Team India now had only one option to draw the three-match series: to win the third Test at all costs. Throughout this series, poor umpiring posed challenges for India.</p>



<p>In the first innings of the third Test in Melbourne, the Indian team was bowled out for just 237 runs. In reply, Australia scored 419 runs. Based on the first innings, Team India was 182 runs behind, but in the second innings, India&#8217;s opening pair raised hopes. Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan had added 165 runs for the first wicket. Gavaskar had scored 70 runs. Meanwhile, a ball from Dennis Lillee hit Gavaskar&#8217;s pads, and umpire Rex Whitfield gave him out lbw.</p>



<p>Gavaskar looked unhappy and tried to explain to the umpire. Moments later, Gavaskar was heading towards the pavilion, but in the meantime, he also told Chetan Chauhan, who was at the other end, to return. At Gavaskar&#8217;s behest, Chetan Chauhan hesitantly started to return to the pavilion, but India&#8217;s group manager, S.A.K. Durrani, prevented Chauhan from leaving the field in time.</p>



<p>India scored 324 runs in this innings, and Kapil Dev took five wickets, dismissing the home team for just 83 runs in the next innings. Team India won the match by 59 runs and the series ended in a 1-1 draw. However, many years later, Gavaskar revealed that he wasn&#8217;t angry with the umpire&#8217;s decision, though he was disappointed. He explained that as he was returning to the dressing room, an Australian player used abusive language towards him, which angered him, causing him to tell Chetan Chauhan to return.</p>



<p>Sunil Gavaskar played 125 Tests for India, scoring 10,122 runs at an average of 51.12. During this time, he scored four double centuries, 34 centuries, and 45 half-centuries. In 108 One Day Internationals, Sunil Gavaskar scored 3,092 runs at an average of 35.14.</p>

<p>Land belonging to farmers will be acquired to widen the road from Natni Ka Bara to Alwar. The PWD NH will acquire approximately 43 hectares of land affecting around 3,000 farmers. The administration will provide compensation. Preparations are underway to announce the award within a week, after which the road work will proceed. An elevated road is proposed in Sariska.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Compensation of approximately ₹70 crore</h2>



<p>To connect that road, widening of approximately 14 kilometres of road from Natni Ka Bara to Alwar is necessary. After widening, this road will become a two-lane road. This will increase the speed of vehicles and reduce the distance between Alwar and Jaipur. The PWD NH requires land for widening. In this case, land belonging to nearby farmers will be acquired. This involves 500 khesras (land records) and the land of approximately 3,000 farmers. Compensation will be provided for 43 hectares of land. It is reported that approximately ₹70 crore will be given to the farmers as compensation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First phase survey complete</h2>



<p>PWD NH will construct a flyover in Kati Ghati. A Delhi-based agency is conducting the survey. The first phase of the survey has been completed. Now, in the second phase, the flyover route will be decided. This work is to be completed in three months. After that, it will go to the central government for approval, and then tenders will be invited for the construction of the flyover.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">₹88 crore to be spent on road widening</h2>



<p>₹88 crore will be spent on road widening. The work is not fully underway yet. After the award is announced, the department will focus on construction. A department engineer says that the administration is going to announce the award soon. After that, land acquisition will take place. Before that, farmers will also receive compensation.</p>

<p>Asia&#8217;s oldest elephant, Vatsala passed away on Tuesday at Panna Tiger Reserve. She had been unwell for quite some time and died around 1:30 pm. In the park, she played a crucial role in caring for the calves of other elephants, earning her the affectionate title of &#8220;Dadi&#8221; (grandmother). The Tiger Reserve management had attempted to get Vatsala recognised as the world&#8217;s oldest elephant in the Guinness Book of World Records, but lacked the necessary documentary evidence. Currently, the record is held by Lin Wang, an elephant from a zoo in Taiwan, who died at the age of 86.</p>
