[00:07:17] in the Assembly on August 7. This time, the entire
[00:07:20] session is likely to be tumultuous. In this brief seven-day
[00:07:23] session, a strong political tug-of-war can be seen
[00:07:26] between the ruling party and the opposition. This
[00:07:29] time, the opposition has formulated a strategy
[00:07:32] to surround the ruling party from all sides
[00:07:36] over the issues of alleged irregularities in JPSC
[00:07:39] and JSSC examinations and employment. On these sensitive
[00:07:43] issues related to youth and employment, the opposition
[00:07:46] will be very vocal in the House. On the other
[00:07:50] hand, the ruling party also appears fully prepared
[00:07:54] to give a befitting reply to every attack of the opposition.
[00:07:58] On the issue of JPSC, the government is preparing to counter

[00:08:21] agencies have announced a cash reward of 15 lakh
[00:08:25] for those who provide concrete information to help arrest
[00:08:29] Mohammad Latif Bhat, a wanted and notorious Lashkar-e-Taiba
[00:08:32] terrorist. Security forces have intensified their search for
[00:08:36] him and pasted his wanted posters in several prominent
[00:08:40] and busy areas of Srinagar. According to official police
[00:08:43] records, 22-year-old Mohammad Latif Bhat, a resident of Kulgam,
[00:08:47] had recently shot dead Head Constable Ashiq Hussain
[00:08:51] in a crowded market in Anantnag on July 22. Besides this,
[00:08:55] he is also considered the main culprit in other recent
[00:08:58] target killing incidents
[00:09:00] in the valley.
[00:09:06] Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated this building on
[00:09:10] August 6, 2025, at
[00:09:20] Kartavya Path in New Delhi, constructed under the Central
[00:09:24] Secretariat Redevelopment Scheme, which is proving to be a milestone.
[00:09:27] Kartavya Bhavan is the first of a total of 10 buildings
[00:09:30] built for central ministries and departments,
[00:09:34] which is being called the new power center of the country,
[00:09:38] where several important ministries, including the Ministry of Home Affairs,
[00:09:41] are under one roof, which is a special step
[00:09:45] taken towards administrative efficiency, innovation and cooperation.
[00:09:48] On the completion of one year of Kartavya Bhavan Three,
[00:09:52] watch this special report
[00:09:56] by our correspondent Dheeraj Kumar. In 2025,
[00:09:59] Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan,
[00:10:02] the new power center of the country. Kartavya Bhavan, which houses
[00:10:06] several important ministries, including the Ministry of Home
[00:10:10] Affairs, under one roof, embodies the vision of the Government
[00:10:13] of India for administrative reform, digital inclusion and
[00:10:17] green governance. Not only that, this building sets
[00:10:20] an example of better coordination by bringing various ministries
[00:10:24] and departments under one roof. Kartavya Bhavan
[00:10:27] is equipped with modern, green and energy-efficient
[00:10:30] structures. It is spread
[00:10:33] over an area of approximately 1.5 lakh square meters.
[00:10:37] It has six floors with a ground floor and
[00:10:40] two basements. It has parking facility for 600 cars.
[00:10:44] It has 24 main conference rooms and 26 small
[00:10:47] conference rooms. The building houses the offices of the
[00:10:51] Ministries of Home, External Affairs, Rural Development,
[00:10:54] MSME, Department of Personnel and Training, Ministry of Petroleum
[00:10:57] and the Principal Scientific Advisor. All the ministries
[00:11:01] and departments of the Government of India have come quite
[00:11:05] close. Everything has been located, so the official
[00:11:09] communications and movement of files in government
[00:11:12] work has also become very fast and easy. The coordination
[00:11:16] between ministries has also improved significantly. Meetings
[00:11:19] can now be held
[00:11:22] quickly. It has also become much easier to consult
[00:11:26] with other departments. Kartavya Bhavan Three has been
[00:11:29] designed as a GRI A4 rated
[00:11:33] green building, which includes double glazed
[00:11:36] glass, rooftop solar panels, solar water
[00:11:39] heaters, rainwater harvesting and advanced heating,
[00:11:43] ventilation and air conditioning systems.
[00:11:47] The building has energy-saving LED
[00:11:50] lights, smart lifts and sensor-based
[00:11:54] electricity control system. This makes
[00:11:57] this building use approximately 30%
[00:12:00] less energy compared to traditional
[00:12:03] buildings. The solar panels installed in the
[00:12:07] building generate 5.34 lakh
[00:12:09] units of electricity annually. Solar water heaters
[00:12:13] meet 25% of the hot water requirements.
[00:12:16] The cafeteria built in the building is also
[00:12:19] popular, where discussions over tea lead to talks
[00:12:23] about the progress of the
[00:12:26] country and the state. We all sit together in this entire section, our US sit behind us, our
[00:12:29] section officers are with us, so we can coordinate well with
[00:12:33] each other. Our canteen there was a bit
[00:12:36] small due to size constraints. Here there is plenty of space,
[00:12:40] you can have lunch comfortably. We really liked the
[00:12:43] infrastructure of this building. The seating arrangement is very good.
[00:12:47] The cafeteria is quite vast, the space is good, many people
[00:12:51] can come together. The online system here is very good.
[00:12:55] So overall, it's a very good improvement for us. Toilets
[00:12:59] are very clean, so it's a very good experience overall.
[00:13:02] Kartavya Bhavan Three presents a model of wastewater
[00:13:06] treatment and reuse. If we compare,
[00:13:09] Kartavya Bhavan Three alone consumes 76% less electricity
[00:13:13] compared to the old building. In figures,
[00:13:16] 445 thousand units less electricity
[00:13:19] is consumed per month, which in rupees is
[00:13:23] 4.5 bank
[00:13:41] to post office, so in this way, the facilities here have
[00:13:44] gradually improved a lot and have become better. And the biggest
[00:13:48] thing is the infrastructure that the office has received,
[00:13:52] your clean seats, your computers, everything is modern, all the
[00:15:37] and the value is about 40 lakh rupees. The amount received from the auction
[00:15:41] will be used for various social welfare activities such
[00:15:45] as education of girl students
[00:15:46] and health of children.
[00:15:50] President Draupadi Murmu's vision is to make Rashtrapati Bhavan
[00:15:54] truly the nation's house, i.e.,
[00:15:57] a public building that belongs to every citizen of the country.
[00:16:00] Under this vision of the President, the third edition of e-Upahar
[00:16:03] has been launched. In the third edition,
[00:16:07] 300 gifts received by the President will be auctioned,
[00:16:11] which represent India's rich artistic traditions, craftsmanship
[00:16:14] and diplomatic heritage. The auction process on the e-Upahar.
[00:16:18] rashtrapatibhavan.gov.in
[00:16:21] portal will run from August 5 to September 5.
[00:16:24] This is a unique initiative under which the
[00:16:28] amount received from the auction is used for various
[00:16:32] The main objective of e-Upahar is that the gifts
[00:16:36] received by our honorable President
[00:16:39] and our former Presidents, the gifts
[00:16:43] received in the country, we select them through
[00:16:46] a committee and among them, the best gifts
[00:16:50] are given for public
[00:16:53] amount of money we receive from it
[00:16:57] is given for a social cause. So the main
[00:17:01] issue is that we want these treasures received
[00:17:04] by the President to also reach the people
[00:17:08] and people keep them as a souvenir and the money
[00:17:12] that comes from it, we can give it for a good
[00:17:15] cause. The e-Upahar initiative was started
[00:17:19] in 2024. In the first two editions, 413
[00:17:23] gifts received by the President were auctioned,
[00:17:26] from which an amount of about 76 lakh rupees
[00:17:30] was received. This amount was used for the welfare
[00:17:35] including school children, women and the elderly. According
[00:17:39] to the vision of President Draupadi Murmu, the entire
[00:17:42] amount received from the third edition of e-Upahar will be
[00:17:45] used for the education, scholarships and skill
[00:17:49] development of girl students from Scheduled Tribes
[00:17:52] and other deprived communities, as well as for the treatment
[00:17:55] of children suffering from serious diseases like cancer. This
[00:17:59] time, the proceeds from this will be used
[00:18:03] for two important works. One is palliative
[00:18:07] care, cancer care. This will be given to
[00:18:10] those who are struggling with life-threatening diseases
[00:18:13] like this. And the second cause is that we want to help
[00:18:16] the girls, the tribal girls
[00:18:20] who are studying in different schools, their skill development,
[00:18:24] their other educational development that should happen.
[00:18:28] We are thinking of giving these funds for these two
[00:18:31] causes. In the third edition of e-Upahar, several
[00:18:35] gifts received by President Draupadi Murmu in honor
[00:18:38] of Operation Sindoor, such as a replica of Shri
[00:18:42] Ram Darbar and Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple of Ayodhya,
[00:18:45] crafts made from the paddy of Lord Jagannath, Devi
[00:18:48] Subhadra and Lord Balram, and a replica of the Golden
[00:18:52] Temple in Amritsar, have been put up for auction.
[00:18:56] The total reserve price of all 300 gifts
[00:19:00] has been kept at about 40 lakh rupees. This initiative,
[00:19:03] launched on the occasion of President Draupadi Murmu
[00:19:37] was a sign of poison, and every heartbeat
[00:19:41] that testified to life, everything changed
[00:19:44] in an instant. On August 6,
[00:19:47] 1945, the atomic bomb dropped
[00:19:51] on the Japanese city of Hiroshima not only destroyed buildings
[00:19:55] and people, but also forced the entire human
[00:19:59] society to think that when the power of science
[00:20:02] separates from ethics and compassion,
[00:20:05] how horrific its consequences can be. Hiroshima Day
[00:20:09] is not just a date, but a memory
[00:20:12] that still reminds the world of the need for sensitivity
[00:20:16] and peace today. When America's
[00:20:20] atomic bomb, Little Boy, fell on Hiroshima,
[00:20:23] thousands of lives were wiped out in an instant.
[00:20:26] The city burned, and families searched
[00:20:29] for their loved ones amidst the rubble,
[00:20:33] ash, and smoke. By the time years passed,
[00:20:36] about 1 lakh 40 thousand people had died. These deaths
[00:20:39] did not come all at once. Some people were immediately
[00:20:43] crushed by the debris or burned to death in the fire.
[00:20:47] The survivors slowly succumbed to radiation,
[00:20:50] severe burns, internal injuries, and poisonous black rain.
[00:20:54] However, the story of Hiroshima was not limited
[00:20:57] to pain alone. Even after complete destruction,
[00:21:00] this city chose the path of renewal and peace,
[00:21:03] not revenge. The eyewitnesses of Hiroshima
[00:21:07] are now becoming a part of history, but this
[00:21:11] city still does not let the world forget.
[00:21:15] Memories, museums, and messages of peace
[00:21:18] still remind us that the misuse of nuclear
[00:21:21] power can be so deadly.
[00:21:24] The tragedy of Hiroshima is a warning. If we do not
[00:21:28] learn from history, the future can be
[00:21:31] even more horrific. The memory of Hiroshima
[00:21:35] teaches us every day that peace
[00:21:38] is the only way.
[00:21:40] Bureau Report, DD News.
[00:21:42] Let's turn to international news. Amidst the US-Iran conflict,
[00:21:46] Iran has warned Gulf countries that if the US
[00:21:50] attacks it again, it can retaliate by targeting
[00:21:53] key energy installations across the region.
[00:21:57] According to news agency Reuters, Iran has sent a message
[00:22:02] to pressure them. According to two senior Iranian
[00:22:05] officials, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has also
[00:22:09] held talks with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey
[00:22:12] and Qatar. He has appealed to the Gulf allies to try
[00:22:16] to stop new attacks on Iran by putting pressure
[00:22:20] on President Donald Trump. Araghchi warned that any
[00:22:24] attack on Iran could be retaliated by targeting
[00:22:28] US bases and energy installations in the Gulf region.
[00:22:31] This warning was given after US President Donald
[00:22:35] Trump's threat to attack Iran's energy network
[00:22:38] and infrastructure.
[00:22:41] Even after the attacks stopped between the US and Iran,
[00:22:45] tensions are not subsiding. The US President has claimed
[00:22:49] that Iran wants to negotiate with the US, but Iran
[00:22:53] is denying this. Spokesperson of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
[00:22:58] continuous talks and contact are going on with officials
[00:23:01] from Pakistan and Qatar. However, currently there
[00:23:05] is no plan for Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi or Parliament
[00:23:09] Speaker Mohammad Bagher Galibaf to visit Pakistan or Qatar.
[00:23:13] Spokesperson of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Baghai,
[00:23:16] said that reaching an agreement with Oman on the movement
[00:23:20] of ships in the Strait of Hormuz does not mean that
[00:23:23] a completely safe environment has been created there.
[00:23:27] According to Al Jazeera, he said that if US military
[00:23:30] action and pressure continue, the security of the Strait
[00:23:34] of Hormuz will remain at risk. On the other hand, US President
[00:23:37] Donald Trump has claimed that Iran itself has expressed
[00:23:41] a desire to negotiate
[00:23:42] with the US. He said that
[00:23:47] if Iran makes a deal, it will be better for it.
[00:23:51] Russia has once again launched extremely fierce and devastating
[00:23:54] attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, causing
[00:23:58] heavy loss of life. Emergency service officials
[00:24:01] have informed that at least 14 people were killed
[00:24:05] and 27 were seriously injured in these continuous
[00:24:09] attacks throughout the night. During these attacks, which
[00:24:13] started after midnight
[00:24:16] inhabitants, air raid sirens blared for more than an hour.
[00:24:20] According to the administration, these bombings targeted
[00:24:24] seven different locations in Kyiv, causing heavy
[00:24:28] damage to several buildings and warehouses. Due to the attacks,
