Today is the 3rd of December and here are the headlines.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the Lok Sabha today about the recent developments in India-China bilateral relations over the recent agreement on disengagement and patrolling along the Line of Actual Control.  Jaishankar said, quote “India-China ties cannot be normal without peace in border areas.” unquote. He also said that the immediate priority was to ensure disengagement from friction points, this has been fully achieved. Jaishankar acknowledged that 2020’s disruptions adversely impacted bilateral relations, necessitating recalibrated engagements for long-term peace. Both Houses of Parliament resumed normal proceedings today after a week-long standoff between the government and the Opposition, which ended in a resolution and two Bills are expected to be tabled in the Lok Sabha – The Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill and The Railways (Amendment) Bill.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police today claimed to have killed a Lashkar-e-Taiba militant involved in the killing of seven employees of a construction firm that was building the Z-Morh tunnel near Sonamarg. The name of Junaid Ramzan Bhat, a Lashkar militant from south Kashmir’s Kulgam, surfaced after he was identified by the police as one of the two attackers from the CCTV footage of the incident. Police said Bhat was killed during a gunfight in Dachigam forests on the city outskirts.
Four workers were killed in a boiler blast at an industrial unit in Ank-leshwar GIDC in the Bha-ruch district of Gujarat today. Bharuch district administration confirmed that the blast occurred at the premises of Detox India Private Limited, which is in the business of industrial waste treatment and disposal. Following the blast, teams from the fire department, industrial safety and health departments, and the police reached the spot and have begun a primary probe into the incident.

India experienced its second warmest November in 123 years and this warming trend has continued since the post-monsoon season in October, and could contribute to making 2024 the warmest year ever on record, globally. According to meteorologists, there were two main reasons for the above normal temperatures in India, first the lack of strong western disturbances affecting the plains of northwest India, and second lack of cyclonic disturbances or low pressure systems — both of which kept the rainfall activity at its lowest across the country.

The Trinamool Congress asked the Centre today to appeal to the United Nations to send a peacekeeping force to Bangladesh where according to the party “the minorities and the Hindus are being tortured and being killed”.  The party’s appeal in the Lok Sabha came a day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made a similar request in the state Assembly. Speaking during the Zero Hour, party MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay sought a statement in the House by Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar about the latest situation in Bangladesh. He added that the West Bengal government had adopted a resolution that it would work together with the Centre on the matter and stand by its decisions.
