This includes the creation of a UTlevel elected body with executive, financial and legislative powers.  \n• The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reiterated that the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), 1960 will remain in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably ends cross-border terrorism. The statement came after Pakistan convened a conference on the IWT, where it sought restoration of the agreement.  \nKEY EXAMPLES FOR EXAM  \n• The Centre granted a two-year exemption allowing four China-linked companies to bid for critical power projects, reflecting India's pragmatic balance between economic needs and national security. This can be cited while discussing economic security, investment screening, India-China relations and strategic sectors.  \n• The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said India will consider \"all related developments\" while deciding its approach to Bangladesh's Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project (TRCMRP) . This can be cited while discussing India's Neighbourhood First Policy, and transboundary river governance.  \n• Recently, the Centre ordered the blocking of battery management apps linked to Chinese developers after reports that they were used to remotely disable e-rickshaw batteries. This can be cited while discussing cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, and digital sovereignty.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn article titled \"Building water security in a rapidly drying India\"by Nitin Bassi in The Hindu discusses measures required to address India's growing water crisis. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• India's water crisis stems not only from limited freshwater availability but also from inadequate infrastructure, pollution, groundwater depletion and climate change.  \n• To address these interconnected challenges, the following measures can be adopted:  \no Climate-proofing water infrastructure through granular risk assessments can help prioritise investments invulnerable regions and strengthen resilience.  \no Urban water security requires greater reuse of treated wastewater and a transition from a linear to a circular approach to water management.  \no Expanding micro-irrigation and promoting low-water, high-value crops can improve agricultural water-use efficiency.  \no Closing water data gaps through basin-level information systems, smart metering, and AI-based monitoring can improve water governance and reduce inefficiencies.  \n• Hence, reversing water stress requires political commitment, transparent governance, public trust, and institutional coordination.  \nAn article titled \"The Iran conundrum and the decline of the West\"by M.K. Narayanan in The Hindu discusses the geopolitical implications of the Iran–Israel conflict and the changing global balance of power. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• Diplomatic engagement between the United States and Iran reflects the limitations of prolonged sanctions and coercive measures in resolving complex geopolitical disputes.  \n• A wider regional conflict could disrupt global energy supplies and intensify geopolitical uncertainty.  \n• Along with these, weakened regional security can create conditions that extremist organisations may seek to exploit.  \n• Therefore, durable regional stability will depend on diplomatic engagement, restraint by major powers andefforts to prevent further military escalation in West Asia.  \nAn article titled \"Govt's plan to revive struggling Tiger Reserves\"by Nikhil Ghanekar in Indian Express discusses the Centre's strategy for strengthening tiger conservation in low-population reserves. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• The uneven distribution of tigers across Reserves highlights the need to strengthen \"sink populations\" alongside wellestablished \"source populations\".  \n• The ","cbCaiiaCNSHoZmJQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiaCNSHoZmJQ","pdf",204180,"English","# Key headlines\n## Key examples for exam\n## Key perspectives for exam\n## Key stats for exam\n## Good phrases for exam\n## Suggested articles for exam","[{\"question\":\"What Ladakh-related proposal was highlighted in the key headlines?\",\"answer\":\"The Ministry of Home Affairs proposed a customised self-governance framework under Article 371, including a UT-level elected body with executive, financial, and legislative powers.\"},{\"question\":\"What condition did the Ministry of External Affairs mention regarding the Indus Waters Treaty?\",\"answer\":\"The MEA reiterated that the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty will remain in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably ends cross-border terrorism.\"},{\"question\":\"Which cybersecurity concern was noted in the key examples?\",\"answer\":\"The Centre ordered blocking battery management apps linked to Chinese developers after reports they were used to remotely disable e-rickshaw batteries.\"}]","Lead IAS Daily One Pager - 04 July | PDF",1789941602]
