Headlines Trending in India and World: Politics, E-Commerce, Lifestyle, Sports, Health & Entertainment on 3rd October 2025

1. India–China direct flights to resume from October 26

After five years of suspension, India and China are reconnecting through direct flights. IndiGo will operate the first service between Kolkata and Guangzhou starting October 26 under the winter schedule. For thousands of students, traders, and families, this is more than just a flight — it’s a bridge to opportunities that were abruptly cut off. Aviation experts predict fares will initially be high due to pent‑up demand, but stabilise as more routes open. Whether this marks a new chapter in India–China relations or simply a practical step to ease travel remains to be seen.

2. Putin orders measures to reduce India–Russia trade imbalance

At the Valdai forum in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin directed his government to increase imports of Indian goods such as pharmaceuticals and agricultural products to balance the crude oil–heavy trade relationship. He also warned that global oil prices could surge past $100 a barrel if Russian supplies are disrupted. For Indian exporters, this could mean new opportunities in a market that has long been difficult to penetrate. The question now is whether Indian basmati rice, medicines, and textiles will soon flood Russian supermarkets.

3. Bareilly internet suspended for 48 hours during Dussehra

Authorities in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, have ordered a 48‑hour internet shutdown during Dussehra festivities. Officials say the move is necessary to prevent the spread of rumors and maintain peace, while police and PAC forces conduct marches and drones monitor the skies. For shopkeepers and students, however, the blackout has meant disrupted business and online classes. In today’s digital age, the debate continues: can cutting off the internet really guarantee peace, or does it create more problems than it solves?

4. Khandwa Durga immersion tragedy claims 11 lives

A tractor‑trolley carrying devotees overturned into a pond during Durga idol immersion in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, killing 11 people, including children. The accident occurred when the vehicle lost balance on a makeshift culvert. Eyewitnesses describe villagers diving into the water to save loved ones, while rescue teams worked through the night. The tragedy has reignited debate over safety protocols during religious processions. Festivals unite communities — but are we doing enough to ensure they don’t end in tragedy?

5. Draft rules released to enforce ban on online real‑money games

The Ministry of Electronics and IT has published draft rules to implement the Online Gaming Act, 2025, which bans real‑money games such as rummy, poker, and fantasy sports. The rules outline compliance requirements and registration norms for esports platforms. For gamers, this means a clearer line between what’s legal and what’s not. For companies, it’s a survival test — adapt to skill‑based, subscription models or shut down. The big question is whether this law will protect young Indians from addiction, or stifle one of the fastest‑growing digital industries.

6. Army chief warns Pakistan, urges troop readiness

Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has issued a stern warning to Pakistan against supporting terrorism, urging Indian troops to remain fully prepared for any eventuality. Referring to recent operations, he said India would not show the same restraint in the future. His words have electrified military circles and stirred debate across the border. Is India preparing for a new phase of military assertiveness, or is this pure deterrence messaging?

7. Rajnath Singh says India will cross borders to protect citizens

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reiterated India’s willingness to cross borders if necessary to protect its citizens, citing past operations such as the 2016 surgical strikes and the 2019 Balakot airstrike. He also cautioned Pakistan over activities near the Sir Creek region, underlining India’s proactive defense doctrine. By invoking the 1965 war and the road to Karachi, Singh sent a clear message: India’s patience has limits. The question is whether Sir Creek — a swampy estuary — could become the next flashpoint in South Asia.

8. Madras High Court orders SIT probe into Karur rally stampede

The Madras High Court has ordered a Special Investigation Team, led by senior IPS officer Asra Garg, to probe the September 27 stampede at actor‑politician Vijay’s rally in Karur. The tragedy killed 41 people and injured over 60. The court criticized Vijay’s party for poor crowd management and rejected pleas for a CBI probe. Videos from the rally show chaotic scenes as thousands surged into a constricted space. The SIT will now examine accountability, from permissions to safety arrangements. Can this probe bring justice to grieving families — and will it change how political rallies are organized in India?

9. Canadian envoy presents credentials to President Murmu

Nearly a year after relations hit rock bottom, Canada’s new High Commissioner Christopher Cooter presented his credentials to President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This marks a cautious reset in ties strained by allegations over the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Both countries have since agreed to “constructive steps” to restore stability, with trade, visas, and diaspora issues on the agenda. The real test will be whether India and Canada can rebuild trust, or if old wounds will resurface.

10. Andamans mud volcano erupts after two decades

India’s only mud volcano erupted at Baratang Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands after lying dormant for nearly 20 years. A deafening sound preceded the eruption, which spewed mud and gases across a wide area, forming a mound nearly four meters high. Tourist access has been suspended, and scientists are rushing to study the rare event. Unlike lava volcanoes, mud volcanoes are driven by underground gases and decaying organic matter. Could this eruption signal deeper tectonic shifts in the Andaman region, already home to South Asia’s only active lava volcano at Barren Island?
