July 22, 2025
The last 24 hours in India saw significant political, scientific, and economic developments. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned citing health concerns, a move that surprised many on the first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session. The session itself began with considerable disruptions, particularly over "Operation Sindoor." On the scientific front, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) announced progress on an indigenous malaria vaccine, AdFalciVax. Economically, India demonstrated strong global investment confidence growth. Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court acquitted all accused in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case, prompting the Maharashtra government to appeal. Concerns were also raised regarding China's construction of a dam on the Brahmaputra River.
