1. Nationwide Civil Defence Drills To Be Conducted Amid Increasing Tensions 
   

May 5, 2025, saw the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) write to various states, asking them to undertake complete civil defence mock drills on May 7 in a bid to address growing tensions with Pakistan ever since the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which had resulted in the loss of 26 lives. The drills, the largest of their kind since the 1971 India-Pakistan conflict, are intended to gauge the country’s readiness for possible hostilities. The MHA’s announcement, as per ANI, follows ongoing cross-border clashes along the Line of Control, with Pakistan resorting to firing for 11 straight nights and India retaliating firmly. The drills will involve the simulation of air raid sirens, training civilians and students in protective gear, and practicing evacuation drills. Provisions for blackout measures and camouflaging critical infrastructure are also planned. Global leaders, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for justice, have condemned the Pahalgam attack, underscoring the need for robust defence strategies in this volatile climate.

3. Adani Representatives Seek Trump’s Intervention in US Bribery Case 
   

Representatives of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani engaged with officials from US President Donald Trump’s administration on May 4, 2025, to push for the dismissal of criminal charges in a high-profile overseas bribery probe, according to Bloomberg News. The US indicted Adani and his nephew, Sagar Adani, in November 2024, alleging they bribed officials to secure power supply contracts and misled investors during a $750 million Adani Green bond sale. The negotiations, heating up in recent weeks, contend that the prosecution is at odds with Trump’s agenda. A resolution might be reached within a month if momentum continues. Adani Green denied non-compliance, and the Adani Group denied wrongdoing. The Justice Department and White House refused to comment, and Adani Enterprises did not reply. The case has shaved $13 billion from the market value of Adani’s nine listed firms, though their shares surged up to 10.5% on May 5, reflecting investor optimism amid the talks.

9. India Stops Sotheby’s Auction of Sacred Buddhist Relics 
   

India’s Ministry of Culture was successful on May 5, 2025, in preventing Sotheby’s Hong Kong from selling holy Buddhist remains from the Piprahwa Stupa, which were to be auctioned on May 7. After receipt of the legal notice, Sotheby’s promised quick action to rectify India’s fears following protests by Buddhist groups. The artefacts, such as bone remains and ornate coffins from Lord Buddha’s birthplace, were unearthed in 1898 by William Claxton Peppé and fall under the category of protected antiquities in Indian law. Although the majority of relics are kept in the Indian Museum, Kolkata, a part retained by descendants of Peppé, such as Chris Peppe, were put up for auction. The ministry insisted on their return, with the Archaeological Survey of India and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat approaching Hong Kong and UK authorities. The move is an indicator of India’s determination to safeguard its cultural heritage, making sure the relics stay where they belong.

10. Bhakra Dam Board Challenges Punjab’s Water Blockade in Court 
    

The Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) moved a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court on May 5, 2025, against Punjab’s deployment of policemen at the Nangal dam as “illegal and unconstitutional.” The standoff, which began building up since April 28 when Punjab denied Haryana’s plea for 8,500 cusecs of water from the Bhakra dam, reached new heights with Punjab’s decision to hold back its share of water. BBMB, which comes under the Union power ministry, contended that the security arrangements interfere with its operations, essential for water supply to northern states. The court sent notices to Punjab, Haryana, and BBMB, with hearings scheduled to resume. The row points to long-standing inter-state water conflicts, with BBMB approaching the court to ensure its sovereign functions are not hindered, as tensions over resource distribution in the region escalate.
