Daily Current Affairs 30 July 2026

Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for July 30, 2026. Parliament completed passage of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026, giving Vande Mataram the same statutory protection long enjoyed by the National Anthem. The Supreme Court struck down a 2021 Office Memorandum that let the government hand out indefinite ex-post-facto environmental clearances, reaffirming that prior clearance cannot be substituted by administrative regularisation after the fact. The delimitation debate resurfaced sharply, with concerns over an 850-seat Lok Sabha reviving federalism questions between southern and northern states. On the economy and security side, the Reserve Bank of India secured approval for a large-scale polymer banknote field trial, and the Indian Navy took delivery of INS Nipun, its second indigenous diving support vessel. The day also marked the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, spotlighting the fast-growing trafficking of victims into forced online scam-centre operations. The full roundup, six deep-dive articles, and a practice quiz follow.
