    Today's the 29th of July and here are the headlines.

    The Delhi Police have arrested five more people in connection with the flooding of the basement of Rau’s IAS Study Centre, including the driver of a vehicle who purportedly waded through the waterlogged road and contributed to breaking the gates of the coaching centre where three UPSC aspirants died. The owners of the basement are among the five arrested people, including the coaching centre’s CEO, Abhishek Gupta, and coordinator, Deshpal Singh. All the five accused are expected to be produced in court on Monday.

    Days after three UPSC aspirants died when the basement of their coaching centre flooded in the National Capital, Rajya Sabha chairman allowed a short-term discussion on the matter after the question hour. While the chair did not agree to suspend the proceedings on the House for the discussion, members of the opposition applauded that the chair allowed for the discussion under another rule, adding that they hoped their request for similar discussions on NEET paper leak and Manipur violence will also be allowed.

    Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at the Union Budget of 2024-25 on Monday, calling it a ‘chakravyuh’ created by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress leader said the ‘chakravyuh’ that has captured India has three forces — the idea of monopoly capital and concentration of financial power; institutions and agencies such as the CBI, ED and IT department; and the political executive. Gandhi’s reference was to the Mahabharat, according to which Abhimanyu was killed in a ‘chakravyuh’ — a multi-tiered maze and formation — in which he was trapped. He further said the chakravyuh looks like a lotus (the BJP symbol).

    Days after some students from Nirmala College in Kerala’s Muvattupuzha held protests demanding that they be allotted a room at the college to offer namaz, a prominent body of Islamic scholars have asked the students to desist from making such demands that could “create hatred” Dakshina Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama general secretary Muhammed Thoufeeq Moulavi called the controversy “unfortunate”. Last Friday, a group of girls at Nirmala College in Muvattupuzha held protests demanding a room to offer their prayers but the college management had turned them down saying they were “free” to offer namaz at a mosque some 200 metres away. Significantly, the college is run by the Catholic Church.

    A passenger train carrying about 800 parrengers collided with a Kamaz truck, killing at least two and injuring up to 100 people on Monday, Russian media outlets reported, according to Reuters. As per the report, eight carriages were derailed, some of the carriages lay twisted and battered beside the railway track, they said. The train had been travelling from Kazan in Tatarstan to Adler on the Black Sea when it derailed in the southern Volgograd region near the Kotelnikovo station about 1,200 km (750 miles) south of Moscow, the emergencies ministry said.
