The day was dominated by the catastrophic flash floods in Nepal, triggered by a glacial lake outburst in Tibet. The death toll climbed from 7 in the morning to over 150 by evening, with over 100 Indians among the missing, many on the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. Coverage across outlets focused on the devastation, rescue efforts, and India's dispatch of relief materials. PM Modi spoke with Nepal's PM Balendra Shah, offering assistance. Earlier in the day, US sanctions on four India-based companies over Iran oil trade were widely reported, along with former CDS Anil Chauhan's revelations about Operation Sindoor and the ceasefire leak. The Islamabad hospital fire that killed 15 newborns also received attention. By afternoon, the Nepal floods overshadowed all other stories, with continuous updates on casualties and missing persons.
