Headlines Trending in India and World: Politics, E-Commerce, Lifestyle, Sports, Health & Entertainment on 1st October 2025

1. PM Modi Unveils ₹100 Coin & Stamp at RSS Centenary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a special ₹100 commemorative coin and postage stamp to mark the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in New Delhi. The coin depicts Bharat Mata seated in Varada Mudra with a lion by her side and swayamsevaks bowing in reverence — the first time Bharat Mata has appeared on Indian currency. The RSS motto “Rashtray Swaha, Idam Rashtraya, Idam Na Mama” is also inscribed.

The commemorative stamp highlights the participation of RSS swayamsevaks in the 1963 Republic Day parade. Modi described the releases as a tribute to “100 years of service to the nation,” while critics argued it blurred the line between state and ideology. The event has sparked heated debate across political and social circles, with supporters hailing it as historic and opponents calling it controversial.

2. Karur Stampede Fallout: Vijay’s Rallies Postponed

The tragic stampede at actor-politician Vijay’s rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu, claimed over 40 lives and left dozens injured. In response, Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has postponed all upcoming rallies. Police investigations point to crowd mismanagement, barricade failures, and violations of event permissions.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin announced compensation of ₹10 lakh for the families of the deceased and ₹1 lakh for the injured. A judicial inquiry commission has been set up to probe the incident. Political leaders across parties visited hospitals and victims’ families, while public anger has mounted over safety lapses. The tragedy has cast a shadow over Vijay’s political debut, forcing his party to reassess campaign strategies.

3. Centre Hikes DA by 3% for 1.18 Crore Employees & Pensioners

The Union Cabinet approved a 3% hike in Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR), raising the rate from 55% to 58% of basic pay and pension. This decision benefits nearly 1.18 crore central government employees and pensioners. The hike, effective from July 1, 2025, will cost the exchequer over ₹10,000 crore.

The announcement comes ahead of the festive season, providing much-needed relief to households battling inflation. Experts note that this is likely the last DA revision before the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission in 2026. Employee unions welcomed the move but demanded a higher increase, citing rising living costs.

4. Wheat MSP Raised by ₹160 to ₹2,585 per Quintal

The government has raised the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for wheat by ₹160 to ₹2,585 per quintal for the 2026–27 marketing season. MSPs for other rabi crops were also increased: lentil by ₹300, gram by ₹225, barley by ₹170, and mustard by ₹250.

The hike is aimed at ensuring remunerative prices for farmers and encouraging higher production. The government has set a target of 119 million tonnes of wheat output for 2025–26, compared to 117.5 million tonnes in the previous year. Farmer unions welcomed the increase but said it still falls short of covering rising input costs.

5. Earthquake in Philippines Kills 60, Tremors Felt Across Asia

A powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck Cebu in the Philippines, killing at least 60 people and injuring hundreds. The quake caused widespread destruction, including collapsed buildings, damaged roads, and power outages. Tremors were felt across Southeast Asia, sparking panic in neighboring countries.

Rescue operations are underway, with emergency teams struggling to reach remote areas due to blocked roads and aftershocks. International aid has begun pouring in, with India, Japan, and the U.S. offering assistance. The disaster has reignited discussions on disaster preparedness in the earthquake-prone region.

6. India Beats Sri Lanka in ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

The Indian women’s cricket team began their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign with a commanding 59-run victory over Sri Lanka in Guwahati. Batting first, India posted 269/8, with Deepti Sharma (53) and Amanjot Kaur (57) leading the charge. Sneh Rana’s quickfire 28* and her 2 wickets later sealed the win.

Sri Lanka, despite a strong start from Chamari Athapaththu, were bowled out for 211. The match drew a record crowd of over 22,000, the highest-ever attendance for a Women’s World Cup group-stage game. The victory has boosted India’s confidence as they aim for their first-ever World Cup title.

7. Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan Sparks Global Debate

U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point peace plan for Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire, release of hostages, and the creation of a transitional international administration. The plan also proposes amnesty for disarmed Hamas members and a roadmap toward Palestinian self-governance.

Israel welcomed the proposal, while Arab nations cautiously endorsed it with conditions. Critics argue the plan lacks clarity on timelines and governance mechanisms. Global reactions have been mixed, with some hailing it as a breakthrough and others dismissing it as impractical. The plan has reignited debates on the future of the Middle East peace process.

8. India Re-Elected to ICAO Council with Stronger Mandate

India has been re-elected to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council for the 2025–28 term with its highest-ever vote count. This reaffirms India’s growing influence in global aviation policy and its leadership in safety, security, and sustainability.

India has been a continuous member of the ICAO Council since 1944. The re-election comes at a time when India’s aviation sector is expanding rapidly, with record passenger growth and major investments in airport infrastructure. Officials hailed the victory as a recognition of India’s role in shaping the future of global aviation.

9. Cybersecurity Alert: FEMA & CBP Data Breach, Google Adds AI Ransomware Detection

A major cyberattack has exposed sensitive employee data from FEMA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Investigations revealed compromised credentials and outdated security protocols as the cause. The breach has raised concerns about cybersecurity in critical government agencies.

Meanwhile, Google announced the rollout of AI-powered ransomware detection in Google Drive. The system can pause suspicious encryption activity and restore safe versions of files, offering stronger protection for users. Experts say this could be a game-changer in preventing large-scale ransomware attacks.

10. Putin to Visit India in December for Bilateral Summit
