This incident comes amid a recurring pattern of similar bomb-threat emails targeting educational institutions in Delhi and other cities, causing repeated disruptions and placing city security forces on high alert while investigations into the source and motive continue.

Former Congress leader Anand Sharma challenged Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal to revoke older trade pacts from the UPA period in response to the new India-US interim trade framework, claiming deeper scrutiny is needed before finalising deals. Critics argue the agreement could undermine domestic interests and questioned whether past pacts should be reconsidered amid shifting economic terms. The framework includes significant tariff changes and market access—with U.S. tariffs on Indian goods reduced to 18% and reciprocal concessions from India—but opposition voices say transparency and national interests must be weighed carefully before moving forward.

India has achieved a major boost in space surveillance after a private company successfully imaged an object in orbit from another satellite. Ahmedabad-based Azista Industries Private Limited used its 80-kg satellite AFR to capture images of the International Space Station on February 3.

Experts say this strengthens India’s space situational awareness and helps protect its satellite assets. India currently operates over 50 satellites used for communication, navigation, Earth observation and defence.
