The Indian government has officially rejected a recent award issued by the Court of Arbitration concerning the Indus Waters Treaty. New Delhi maintains that the court was 'illegally constituted' and asserts that the body lacks the necessary jurisdiction to rule on the matter. This rejection marks a significant escalation in the ongoing diplomatic and legal tensions surrounding the water-sharing agreement between India and Pakistan, as India continues to challenge the validity of the arbitration process itself.

In a separate development, a teenager has gained national attention after discovering and reporting security flaws within the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) portal. The student identified technical vulnerabilities that could have potentially compromised the integrity of the examination system. In recognition of these findings, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has offered the student a job, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity awareness among the youth and the proactive role of academic institutions in addressing digital infrastructure weaknesses.
