Morning news wrap: Puri stampede claims three lives near Gundicha Temple; Char Dham Yatra halted for 24 hours amid heavy rain alert; and more
Sunday, 29 June 2025 A tragic stampede during Puri's Rath Yatra resulted in three fatalities, prompting an investigation into crowd control. Simultaneously, the MEA refuted Pakistan's accusations of Indian involvement in the Waziristan bombing. In the US, Trump's economic package advanced in the Senate amidst Republican divisions, setting the stage for further debate and potential House vote.
A devastating stampede during the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri, Odisha, on June 29, 2025, claimed three lives and injured over 50 devotees. The incident occurred near Shree Gundicha Temple around 4:30 am, as thousands gathered for the chariot procession.
Overwhelmed by the crowd, devotees faced...
During the divine celebration of Rath Yatra in Jagannath Puri, the Seva Bhav Initiative quietly brought food, relief, and safety to over a million devotees. Behind the vibrant visuals of chariots and chants, the Adani Group conducted a massive effort of compassion under the philosophy Seva Hi Sadhna Hai. The Seva Bhav Initiative, in collaboration with ISKCON and local heroes, ensured over 4 million sattvic meals were freshly prepared and distributed. The initiative was eco-conscious, with biodegradable plates and compost-ready waste systems, proving seva can be sustainable too.
Rescue teams from the Nolia community saved 156 lives, equipped by the Adani Group—yet another arm of this selfless operation. From lifeguards to sanitation workers, from the police to railway staff—every unsung hero was honoured with the same prasadam served to devotees.

In a land where devotion flows not just through rituals, but through service, the Adani Group has embraced a powerful truth: Seva is not just an act — it is Saadhna.
Rooted in this philosophy, the ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’ pledge is Adani’s sacred commitment to serving with humility, scale, and soul. What began as a monumental effort at the MahaKumbh — where over 4 million sanctified meals were lovingly prepared and distributed to pilgrims — continues now at one of India’s most divine festivals: the Puri Rath Yatra.
As the majestic chariots of Lord Jagannath roll through the ancient city, Adani’s unbroken chain of seva ensures that every devotee is nourished, every offering is honored, and every step of faith is met with a gesture of care. From massive community kitchens to meticulously organized Prasad Seva, Adani’s service is seamless, silent, and spiritually aligned with the heart of the Yatra.

Donald Trump has launched a blistering attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, accusing her and her husband, Paul Pelosi, of insider stock trading worth hundreds of millions. In a fiery online post, Trump mocked the couple’s uncanny market success, alleging they used confidential policy information for profit. He cited controversial trades in Visa, Tesla, and Microsoft tied to major legislative and government contract decisions. With Pelosi’s portfolio valued between $264M and $413M, Trump is calling for accountability—and hinting that jail could be on the horizon.

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike.
Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm?

Nikki Haley has sharply criticized Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhi’s Russian oil purchases, calling the move "strategically dangerous." In a viral post on ‘X’, the former UN Ambassador warned Trump not to “burn a relationship with a strong ally like India” while giving China a tariff pause. Haley emphasized the importance of U.S.-India ties amid rising Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific, exposing deep divisions within the GOP on trade and foreign policy strategy.

Donald Trump has strongly hinted that Vice President J.D. Vance may be the chosen heir to the MAGA movement. At a White House event on Tuesday, Trump said Vance was “most likely” to carry the MAGA torch forward, adding, “In all fairness, he’s the Vice President.” Trump also floated the idea of Secretary of State Marco Rubio teaming up with Vance in the future, though he stopped short of making a 2028 endorsement.
It’s the clearest signal yet that Trump sees Vance as a future GOP frontrunner. Trump’s remarks come amid swirling speculation about his own political future—just hours after he told CNBC he would “probably not” run again. Despite the constitutional ban, he continues to tease a third term. Trump’s carefully calculated comments are fueling a storm of speculation over succession, power plays, and the long-term leadership of the Republican Party and MAGA base.

As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term. Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries. The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks. The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain.

Iran has issued a sharp “final” warning to block a U.S.-backed trade corridor through southern Armenia, part of a peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan announced by Donald Trump. The route would give Azerbaijan direct access to Nakhchivan and Turkey, boosting regional trade while granting the U.S. exclusive development rights. Tehran has flexed military muscle to signal opposition, calling the plan a “graveyard for Trump’s mercenaries.” While analysts doubt Iran’s ability to militarily stop the corridor, tensions are rising across the Caucasus.
