IndiGo ordered to cut flights and fix chaos

IndiGo was told to trim five percent of its schedule. The move follows days of mass cancellations and long queues. The government asked other airlines to add flights to help stranded travellers. DGCA has served notices and wants full refunds and quicker baggage returns. This crisis exposed how risky it is to rely too much on one large carrier. Passengers still face delays, and regulators say stronger penalties may follow if IndiGo does not improve.

Goa nightclub fire — owners left the country

A deadly blaze at Birch by Romeo Lane in Goa killed 25 people. Police say the two owners flew to Thailand hours after the fire. Families of victims are demanding answers as investigations start. Officials noted many victims died of smoke inhalation. State leaders promised strict probe and relief for grieving families. The incident has renewed scrutiny of fire safety and licensing for nightlife venues.

Powerful 7.2 earthquake off northern Japan

A magnitude 7.2 quake hit off Misawa on Japan’s Pacific coast. Authorities issued tsunami warnings and some coastal areas saw waves. Local media reported injuries and damage to buildings. Japan’s emergency systems alerted millions and shelters opened. Nuclear plants reported no immediate abnormalities. The quake reminded many of the 2011 disaster and revived concerns about preparedness along the ring of fire.

Trump signals possible tariffs on Indian rice and fertiliser

In a White House meeting, Donald Trump said he may impose duties on some agricultural imports, naming Indian rice and Canadian fertiliser. The comment raised alarm in farming and trade circles. Tariffs could hit exporters and affect prices globally. Indian trade bodies are watching closely and market reactions may follow. Experts say any actual move would need formal steps and could trigger trade tensions.

Invest UP eyes ‘Japanese City’ near Yamuna Expressway

Uttar Pradesh is courting Japanese investment and proposes a 500-acre ‘Japanese City’ along Yamuna Expressway. Officials say the move will bring jobs and new factories. The plan aims to boost industrial ties with Japan after earlier Singapore-focused pitches. Local leaders hope the project attracts high-value manufacturing and tech firms. Land, incentives and infrastructure will be key to make the idea real.
