Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, during the Samvidhan Bachao rally, accused PM Modi of ignoring prior intelligence about the Pahalgam terror attack. He claimed the government admitted to an intelligence failure and questioned why no action was taken if threats were known. Kharge alleged that PM Modi canceled a planned Kashmir visit after receiving a report three days before the attack, raising concerns over selective safety and negligence in protecting civilians. He emphasized that the deaths could have been prevented if timely action had been taken. These strong allegations come in the wake of a deadly assault in Pahalgam that left multiple casualties and sparked nationwide outrage over security lapses.

On May 5th, the Israeli Air Force launched airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled port city of Hodeidah in Yemen, retaliating against a ballistic missile attack a day earlier by Iran-backed Houthi rebels near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. The missile caused damage near Terminal 3 and disrupted travel for over 66,000 passengers. In response, 20 Israeli fighter jets targeted Houthi infrastructure, including Hodeidah Port and a factory in Bajil, with 50 munitions dropped. Yemeni officials reported two deaths and over 40 injuries. The Houthis condemned the strikes, claiming economic targets were hit. The U.S. confirmed coordination with Israel but did not participate directly, instead conducting its own strikes on Houthi targets the same day. Regional tensions remain high amid ongoing hostilities

Following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, India, which killed over 26 civilians, tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply. In a bold response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, disrupting the flow of water from key rivers into Pakistan. This move has caused a sudden drop in Chenab River inflows after India closed the Baghlihar and Salal dam gates. On May 5, Pakistan's government warned farmers of an impending water crisis. The Indus River System Authority reported a 21% water shortage for the remaining early Kharif season, threatening crops like rice and cotton. As the region braces for agricultural disruption, the suspension of the decades-old treaty signals rising instability in an already tense geopolitical landscape.

In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, as India cracks down on the water flow to Pakistan, parts of Chenab riverbed have dried up in Jammu’s Akhnoor following the Chenab river flow cut to Pakistan. The marked decline in water levels follows the closure of gates at the Baglihar and Salal dams — a move seen as India asserting its rights under the long-standing Indus Waters Treaty. A local Kalyan Singh, said "Earlier, the Chenab River used to flow at a height of 25-30 feet, but now there is hardly 1.5-2 feet of water left here. This is because of PM Modi's decision to put the Indus Waters Treaty on hold...We do not want even a single drop of water to be supplied to Pakistan. We are all standing with the Indian Army and PM Modi..."

US President Donald Trump is pushing for the reopening America’s most infamous prison - the Alcatraz prison. Trump has directed the Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen the infamous prison in the San Francisco Bay to "house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders." "REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!" he posted on the Truth Social platform. The federal prison at Alcatraz housed notorious U.S. criminals such as Al Capone before it closed in 1963. It is now one of San Francisco's most popular tourist destinations. Before turning into a tourist destination, Alcatraz was infamous for being one of America’s most feared prisons, known for its harsh conditions, strict discipline. Operating from 1934 to 1963 on a remote island in San Francisco Bay, it was believed to be escape-proof due to the cold, treacherous waters surrounding it. The mysterious 1962 escape attempt added to its legend. Alcatraz came to symbolise punishment over rehabilitation and has since become iconic through films and pop culture, cementing its dark reputation in history.

Following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, India has reduced the flow of Chenab River water to Pakistan by up to 90%. This action was taken through the Baglihar Dam in Jammu and Kashmir after suspending the Indus Waters Treaty. Visuals from the Salal Dam also show zero water flow downstream. Both dams are vital under the treaty. Pakistan, which depends heavily on this water for farming and power, may face serious shortages. Locals in Jammu and Kashmir have praised the government’s move, calling it a strong response. This is part of India’s broader measures against Pakistan after the recent terror attack.
