The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) has called for a ‘mahapanchayat’ in Sauram village, Muzaffarnagar, to discuss the ongoing protest by wrestlers and develop a strategy for resolution. Khap and farmer leaders from several states will be in attendance; however, the protesting wrestlers will not be attending. Sarv Khap secretary Subhash Balyan has invited 365 khaps from across India to join the discussion and twenty-eight khaps from western UP will attend.

Top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists, had previously threatened to immerse their medals in the Ganga river. The BKU has given leaders five days to address the wrestlers’ grievances.

₹10 Lakh Aid Granted to Family of Cuttack Girl
The Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) has announced a sum of Rs 10 lakh as ex-gratia to the family of a minor girl who died recently after being seriously injured due to the collapse of an old iron bridge in the city. The CMC Mayor, Subash Chandra Singh, announced the financial aid on Wednesday after facing protests from local residents during his visit to the accident spot. Singh has also ordered officials to put up information signages at all construction sites in the city, provide security guards and barricading at such sites. He has further asked for all old structures to be checked and open drains in the city to be covered.
The victim, Mohini Das, was a 16-year-old resident of Nua Rausapatana locality in Cuttack and a Plus II student at Emarti Devi Women’s College. The mishap occurred at Gamadia locality of Kesarpur under Puri Ghat police limits while she was crossing the bridge leading to her death.

Rupee Surges 39 Paise to 82.36 Against US Dollar in Latest Indian News
The Indian rupee gained 39 paise against the US dollar, opening at 82.54 and settling at 82.36 on Thursday. This increase in the value of the rupee can be attributed to positive macroeconomic data, such as the Centre’s fiscal deficit narrowing to 6.4% of the GDP and the country’s economy growing by 6.1% in the March quarter. This growth was largely due to better performance by agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and construction sectors. The dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell by 0.09%, while Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, declined by 1.20% to $72.66 per barrel. The 30-share BSE Sensex and the broader NSE Nifty also rose by 0.08% and 0.12%, respectively. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net buyers in the capital market on Wednesday, purchasing shares worth Rs 3,405.9 crore, as per exchange data. While the given economic releases highlighting domestic activity showcase resilience, uncertainties globally, such as the banking crisis, Fed’s return to rate hikes and geopolitical concerns, could affect the growth trajectory.
