Nearly 98% of India's drone-related drug-smuggling cases in 2025 came from one state — Punjab, according to NCB sources. As traffickers trade the ground for the air, the battle to secure the border is being fought somewhere it never used to be: overhead. #India #NCB #DrugTrafficking

A telescope that can survey the sky 100× wider than Hubble — NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is set to change how we see the Universe. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has begun its mission to investigate some of the biggest unanswered questions in astronomy. With a 2.4-metre primary mirror and an exceptionally wide field of view, Roman is designed to survey enormous regions of space far faster than Hubble. It will explore: Dark Energy & Dark Matter — helping scientists understand the mysterious components shaping our Universe. Billions of Galaxies — enabling large-scale surveys and a detailed 3D picture of the cosmos. Thousands of Exoplanets — searching for worlds beyond our Solar System. Coronagraph Technology — blocking the intense glare of stars to make faint nearby objects, including exoplanets and planet-forming disks, easier to study. Roman is designed to complement Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope: while Hubble and Webb provide extraordinarily detailed observations.

🥚 Egg prices up nearly 40% — but what does ETHANOL have to do with your breakfast? The connection begins with maize (corn) — a major ingredient in poultry feed. 🌽 More maize diverted towards ethanol production ⬇️ 🐔 Less maize available for poultry feed ⬇️ 📈 Higher feed costs for farmers ⬇️ 🥚 Higher cost of producing eggs ⬇️ 💰 Consumers may end up paying more This brings us to a much bigger policy debate: FOOD vs FEED vs FUEL India's ethanol push can support energy security and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, but increasing competition for crops such as maize can also create pressure elsewhere in the economy. The real challenge is finding the right balance between affordable food and energy security. 💬 What should get priority when the same crop is competing for food, animal feed and fuel? #EggPrices #Ethanol #EthanolBlending #Maize #FoodInflation #Biofuel #EnergySecurity #Agriculture #IndianEconomy #CurrentAffairs #UPSC #UPSC2027 #UPSCPreparation #GS3

A 2-year-old became a stem-cell donor for her own brother. Khushi was found to be a perfect 12/12 HLA match for her elder brother Som, who was suffering from thalassemia major. In 2023, she donated blood stem cells to him in Bengaluru — and according to the report, Som has since recovered and is healthy. But this story also highlights a much bigger challenge: 🩸 10,000+ children are estimated to be born with thalassemia major in India every year. 🧬 Finding a compatible unrelated stem-cell donor can be particularly difficult because of India's genetic diversity. 📉 Only around 0.09% of Indians in the relevant age group are reportedly registered as blood stem-cell donors. Sometimes, behind complicated medical science is something remarkably simple — one compatible match can change a life. #Thalassemia #StemCellDonation #StemCellDonor #BloodStemCells #HLA #ThalassemiaAwareness #HealthAwareness #India #MedicalScience #Healthcare #CurrentAffairs

🚨 Nepal said NO to foreign rescue teams. But why? Even as hundreds remain missing after the devastating flash floods, Nepal reportedly declined offers of search-and-rescue teams from India, China and several other countries. The reason goes beyond the present disaster — and leads back to a major lesson Nepal learned during the 2015 earthquake. 🇳🇵 Why did Nepal refuse foreign rescue teams? 🇮🇳 What assistance is India providing? 🌍 What happened when multiple international teams arrived after the 2015 earthquake? 💰 Why does Nepal now prefer coordinated financial assistance? 📚 And what does all this teach us about disaster diplomacy, HADR and India–Nepal relations? 👉 Swipe through the slides for the complete story.

Scientists are investigating whether an ice-rock avalanche from a high-altitude area triggered Nepal’s devastating flash floods. ICIMOD says the suspected trigger remains unconfirmed, while unusual seismic signals and a possible temporary river blockage are also being examined. #NepalFloods #FlashFlood #ClimateChange #Himalayas

Nepal’s devastating floods have renewed attention on the growing threat of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) across the Himalayas. With glaciers retreating and glacial lakes expanding, the risk is rising — although the Rasuwa flood has not been confirmed as a GLOF. #NepalFloods #GLOF #Himalayas #ClimateChange

Meta has agreed to pay 18 billion US Dollars and add stronger child-safety measures to its Facebook and Instagram platforms. The move comes as part of a landmark legal settlement that ended a trial over teen social media addiction and settled claims filed by 47 states. If approved by the court, the deal will stop an avalanche of litigation by states against Meta, although the company still faces lawsuits from individuals and school districts across the US. Meta said that ensuring teens have a safe and productive experience on our platforms is an absolute imperative for the company. It also urged rivals TikTok and YouTube to adopt similar safety measures. #socialmedia #meta #US

Could Nepal’s floodwaters trigger a sharp surge in Bihar’s Gandak River? Floodwater is moving downstream along the Trishuli River → Devghat → Gandak River → Bihar route, with the flow expected to reach the Valmikinagar Barrage in the next 2–3 hours. The numbers are significant. Up to 2.5 lakh cusecs could flow through the Gandak barrage into Bihar. At present, the barrage is discharging around 80,000 cusecs, meaning the potential inflow could be more than three times the current discharge if the projected peak reaches India. Authorities are closely tracking the situation as attention shifts downstream from Nepal to Bihar. #NepalFloods #Bihar #GandakRiver #ValmikinagarBarrage #TrishuliRiver #FloodAlert
