<p>US President Donald Trump announced the implementation of “reciprocal tariffs,” a key component of the “tariff war” he initiated against numerous countries. He chose 2 April for the implementation, declaring it a day of economic liberation for America and promising to restore its prosperity. During a White House Rose Garden media briefing, Trump announced the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including India.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reciprocal Tariff on India</h2>



<p>A 26% discounted reciprocal tariff has been imposed on India by the US. Under this discounted reciprocal tariff system, the US will levy a tariff equal to half the tariff imposed by the respective country on US goods. According to Trump, India levies a 52% tariff on US imports; therefore, a 26% tariff (half of 52%) has been imposed on imports from India.</p>

<p>Trump imposed the highest reciprocal tariff of 49% on Cambodia. Other countries affected include Laos (48%), Madagascar (47%), Vietnam (46%), Myanmar and Sri Lanka (44%). India&#8217;s neighbours, China and Pakistan, face reciprocal tariffs of 34% and 29%, respectively.</p>

PM Modi in Bihar Says &#39;Jungle Raj&#39; Forces Eyeing Another Chance


<p>PM Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Siwan, Bihar. PM Modi stated that CM Nitish’s contribution to Bihar has been invaluable. He added that those who brought jungle raj to Bihar are seeking another opportunity to repeat their past misdeeds, employing various tactics. He cautioned the people of Bihar, urging them to remain vigilant for their bright future and the betterment of their children, emphasising the need to keep those who want to disrupt Bihar&#8217;s progress at bay.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maintaining the Pace of Development</h2>



<p>PM Modi highlighted the construction of approximately 55,000 km of rural roads, the electrification of over 1.5 crore homes, and the establishment of more than 45,000 common service centres in the last 10 years. He stressed the importance of maintaining this momentum for Bihar&#8217;s continued progress.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Never Compromise on Bihari Self-Respect</h2>



<p>PM Modi said that the people of Bihar never compromise on their self-respect, but those with the &#8216;hand&#8217; and &#8216;lantern&#8217; symbols have hurt Bihar’s pride. Together, they looted the state so badly that poverty became Bihar’s fate. He said that under the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar, the NDA government has worked to bring development back on track, overcoming many challenges. Modi added that a lot still needs to be done for Bihar. “Our youth have only heard stories of jungle raj — they have no idea how badly those in power then had ruined Bihar.”</p>



<p>Addressing the gathering, CM Nitish Kumar stated that since the formation of the NDA government in 2005, significant strides have been made in Bihar&#8217;s development. He contrasted this with the alleged inaction of previous governments, now making futile comments.</p>

<p>Today marks the eighth day of the Iran-Israel War. Australia has closed its embassy in Tehran indefinitely in light of the ongoing military conflict. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong stated that the decision to close the Tehran embassy was made after careful consideration. The Australian government has instructed all embassy staff to leave Iran immediately. Approximately 2000 Australian citizens and their families are currently in Iran and wish to leave amidst the military conflict. Prior to Australia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Portugal, and Switzerland have also closed their embassies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Attempted Assassination of Abbas Araghchi Foiled</h2>



<p>Iranian media claims that a plot to assassinate Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Europe was foiled. Israel is alleged to have orchestrated the assassination attempt. Iranian security agencies thwarted Israel&#8217;s plan. Ministerial advisor Mohammad Hossein Ranjbaran stated that if it weren’t for the vigilance of the nation’s unknown soldiers, this heinous Israeli plot would have harmed Tehran a few days ago, but thankfully, it failed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Discussions with European Foreign Ministers</h2>



<p>The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, will hold talks with foreign ministers from three European countries. These discussions will focus on halting the war and the nuclear deal. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock will engage in talks with their Iranian counterpart, Araghchi. The European Union&#8217;s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, will also participate in this meeting.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Explosion in Rasht, Iran</h2>



<p>Reports of an explosion are emerging from the outskirts of Rasht, an industrial city in northern Iran. The Iranian news agency Fars reported that security forces in Lorestan province have reportedly arrested 16 agents working for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.</p>

<p>A major question has been raised regarding the privacy of a five-star hotel in Jaipur, the capital city. On Wednesday night, a video of a couple staying in a room at a renowned hotel went viral on social media. Shockingly, the video wasn&#8217;t recorded by a hidden camera, but rather by an individual standing on the street outside the hotel using a regular mobile phone camera.</p>



<p>The incident came to light when, around 10 pm, a room&#8217;s window offered a clear view into the hotel room. A couple inside were engaged in private moments, and the room&#8217;s window had no curtains. Several people standing on the street recorded this and uploaded it to social media. The video quickly went viral, attracting a crowd to the scene. Traffic was disrupted, requiring intervention from the hotel staff.</p>



<p>Following the incident, a debate has erupted on social media regarding who is at fault: the couple for not drawing the curtains, the hotel administration for not providing any safety measures for the transparent window, or the individuals who recorded someone&#8217;s private life without permission and shared it online.</p>



<p>The hotel has yet to release an official statement. No FIR has been filed so far, and the couple&#8217;s identity remains undisclosed. However, this case certainly raises serious questions about hotel room privacy, digital ethics, and the misuse of social media.</p>


<p>Social Media Viral Video Jaipur: The video went viral in no time, attracting a large crowd to the scene. Traffic was even disrupted, requiring intervention from the hotel staff.</p>

Bandikui-Jaipur Expressway: Delhi now just two-and-a-half to three hours away, cars to zoom at 120 kmph on new route


<p>Bandikui-Jaipur Expressway: The 67-kilometre Bandikui-Jaipur Expressway, connecting the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway to Jaipur, is complete, and the road safety audit is also finished. Now, the only question is when this expressway will open and bring Delhi closer to Jaipur. Even NHAI officials are unable to provide a definite answer.</p>



<p>The Bandikui-Jaipur Expressway was scheduled for completion in November last year, but due to various reasons, the work was delayed by eight months, finally concluding in early June. Trials commenced before the road safety audit, and after the trials were completed, the road safety audit was also finished. However, NHAI officials are now awaiting the green signal from Delhi.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=1024,683" alt="Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway" class="wp-image-19644719" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>

<p>Officials from Jaipur and Dausa state that they have completed their work and are only waiting for the green signal from Delhi to commence operations. An inauguration ceremony is likely to precede the expressway&#8217;s opening. However, all these decisions rest with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways at the central level.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Traffic Jams Due to Expressway Delay</h2>



<p>Since the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway opened, Jaipur&#8217;s traffic has been diverted. Many vehicles travelling from Jaipur to Delhi now use the expressway via Dausa. This has led to traffic jams in Kanota, immediately outside Jaipur. The situation has become so severe that Kanota intersection experiences jams lasting 10 to 20 minutes. The situation worsens on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Additionally, occasional jams occur at various points between Jaipur and Dausa.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=1024,683" alt="Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway" class="wp-image-19587646" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bandikui-Jaipur-Expressway.jpg?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>

Travelling on the fully controlled expressway from Jaipur to Sohna and Gurgaon will not only alleviate traffic congestion but also eliminate the need for frequent speed adjustments. The Bandikui-Jaipur Expressway is a four-lane highway, while the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is an eight-lane highway. A six-lane expressway, approximately 20 kilometres long, connects Sohna and Gurgaon.</p>

<p>UP Rain Alert: The monsoon has fully arrived in Uttar Pradesh. Rain, intermittent over the past three days across various parts of the state, has provided relief from the heat. The meteorological department has issued a heavy to very heavy rainfall alert for several districts over the next 24 to 48 hours. It is anticipated that the monsoon may intensify between 5 and 6 August in eastern and western UP.</p>



<p><strong>Yellow alert for 31 districts, thunderstorm warning for 21</strong></p>



<p>According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast centre, the monsoon has entered UP via Sonbhadra. Clouds have now settled over eastern and central UP. Rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, is predicted for 21 districts, including the capital Lucknow, Kanpur Nagar, and Unnao. A yellow alert has been issued for 31 districts, including Sonbhadra, Chandauli, Kanpur Dehat, Ambedkar Nagar, Agra, and Mainpuri.</p>



<p><strong>Heavy rainfall expected in these districts</strong></p>



<p>Heavy rainfall is anticipated in Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, Chandauli, Varanasi, Bhadohi (Ravindas Nagar), Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Azamgarh, Mau, Ballia, Deoria, Gorakhpur, Basti, Siddharthnagar, Gonda, Balrampur, Shravasti, Bahraich, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Kanpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Agra, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Etawah, Bareilly, Hamirpur, and Mahoba districts.</p>



<p><strong>Heavy rainfall in western UP until 22 June</strong></p>



<p>Heavy rainfall is likely to continue in several districts of western Uttar Pradesh, including Agra, until 22 June. This will lead to a drop in temperature and provide relief from the heat and humidity.</p>



<p><strong>Caused by trough line and low-pressure area</strong></p>



<p>According to the meteorological department, a trough line exists in the lower troposphere, extending from Punjab and northern parts of Madhya Pradesh to southern Assam. Additionally, an upper atmospheric pressure area is active towards north-eastern Jharkhand and West Bengal, which will move northwestward in the next 24 hours. This is the reason for the likelihood of heavy rainfall in Uttar Pradesh.</p>



<p><strong>Relief from heat, but caution necessary</strong></p>



<p>While the rain has provided relief from the intense heat and humidity, the meteorological department has advised people to remain cautious about lightning, waterlogging, and strong winds.</p>


<p>The meteorological department has issued a heavy to very heavy rainfall alert for several districts in Uttar Pradesh for the next 24 to 48 hours. It is anticipated that the monsoon will be particularly intense in eastern and western UP between 5 and 6 August.</p>

<p><strong>Cake and Biscuits Increase Risk of Heart Attack:</strong> If you eat healthy food daily but also consume biscuits, cakes, and crisps, this habit could harm your health. New research from Britain reveals that individuals who consume junk food alongside a healthy diet face a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. The research indicates that such individuals derive no benefit from healthy eating, as junk food negates its effects.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why are people falling ill despite eating healthy food?</h2>



<p>This research, conducted at King&#8217;s College London, closely monitored the dietary habits of over 850 individuals. Many of these individuals consumed healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds daily. However, a significant flaw was their high consumption of chocolate, biscuits, cakes, and crisps. The result was that all the benefits of healthy eating were negated, and these individuals faced a significantly increased risk of heart disease.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Increased Blood Sugar Levels and Stroke Risk</h2>



<p>The research showed that individuals who consumed only fruits, nuts, and granola for breakfast experienced health benefits. However, those who consumed biscuits, cakes, and pies for breakfast experienced a significant increase in blood sugar levels. Their metabolism deteriorated, and obesity increased rapidly. Furthermore, these individuals exhibited a higher risk of heart attack and stroke compared to others.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Dietary Plan in Britain</h2>



<p>Following this study, the British government is planning to remove biscuits, cakes, and other processed snacks from its food menus. The research found that approximately 26 percent of people consumed unhealthy items alongside healthy food. This is why their health did not improve, and they frequently fell ill. This report, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, has forced people to consider that healthy eating alone is not sufficient; controlling snacks is also essential.</p>


Cakes and Biscuits Linked to Increased Heart Attack Risk
