Indian media prominently featured the severe cloudburst in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district, near the Machail Mata Shrine, with casualty figures rising rapidly throughout the day, eventually exceeding 50 deaths, and rescue operations continuing. Concurrently, the Supreme Court addressed several significant matters. It reserved its order on the contentious stray dog issue, critiquing civic bodies for inaction, a development that followed days of increasing judicial engagement. The Court also actively scrutinized the Election Commission regarding Bihar's voter lists, directing the publication of deleted voter names and accepting Aadhaar as ID for the process, aligning with previous concerns over electoral integrity. Furthermore, the Supreme Court cancelled actor Darshan's bail in a high-profile murder case. India issued a strong warning to Pakistan, emphasizing "painful consequences" for any "misadventure" and urging temperance in rhetoric. Discussions on US-India relations also continued, with attention on potential tariffs and India's role in US-China dynamics.
