Today is the 6th of June and here are the headlines.
PM Modi Flags Off Vande Bharat Trains, Inaugurates Chenab Bridge
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday flagged off two Vande Bharat trains between Katra and Srinagar and inaugurated two key rail bridges—India’s first cable-stayed bridge over Anji Khad and the world’s highest rail bridge over the Chenab River. At a rally in Katra, he asserted that any obstruction to Jammu and Kashmir’s development would face him first. Modi launched several infrastructure projects worth over ₹46,000 crore in the Union Territory, reaffirming his government’s commitment to accelerating growth and connectivity in the region.
Karnataka CM's Aide Removed After Stadium Stampede Kills 11
Following the tragic stampede near Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium that killed 11 and injured 56, MLC K Govindaraj, political secretary to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has been removed. Police Commissioner B Dayananda and four other top officers were suspended for crowd control lapses. The state government has ordered a judicial inquiry and announced that RCB officials involved will be arrested. The incident, linked to mismanagement during a free ticket distribution event, has sparked outrage and demands for accountability at the highest levels of administration.
Starlink Gets Key Licence to Launch Services in India
Elon Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink has cleared a crucial regulatory hurdle after receiving a licence from India’s telecom ministry, sources told Reuters. The move brings Starlink a step closer to rolling out commercial operations across India. It becomes the third satellite broadband provider to get approval from the Department of Telecommunications, after OneWeb and Reliance Jio. The licence marks a significant development in India’s push to expand rural and remote connectivity through space-based internet services, especially in underserved regions.
RBI Slashes Repo Rate by 50 Basis Points to Boost Growth
The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.50%, surprising markets and marking the third rate cut in 2025. The move is aimed at reviving economic growth as inflation remains below the 4% target. Borrowers, especially homeowners, will benefit from lower EMIs, but depositors may see reduced returns. Additionally, the RBI lowered the cash reserve ratio by 100 basis points to 3%, injecting ₹2.5 lakh crore of lendable funds into the banking system to spur credit flow.
Trump-Musk Twitter Feud Goes Viral Over Policy Clash
A fiery online clash erupted late Thursday between US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk over a proposed domestic policy dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” What started as a disagreement quickly spiraled into a digital spectacle, with both leaders exchanging jabs in real-time. The feud dominated social media, inspiring memes, satirical headlines, and viral quotes. Musk had openly criticized the bill, prompting Trump’s sharp response. The spat highlights ongoing tensions between tech moguls and political leaders in a highly polarized digital age.
