Transport Paperwork Surge: Vehicle ownership transfers have jumped after a one-time facilitation by BCTA running from Jan 1 to June 30, signalling how quickly policy tweaks can move everyday systems. Regional Security Spotlight: India’s PRAGATI 2026 drill has started in Meghalaya with 12 friendly nations, including Bhutan, under a counter-terror and interoperability theme. Health & Tech: India’s JP Nadda says healthcare expansion and digital health are accelerating, with Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission IDs now reaching 880 million.
