Daily Current Affairs 31 July 2026

Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for July 31, 2026. The international file dominates today, with a five-month-old US-Iran war escalating sharply enough to choke shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that carries over half of India’s crude imports, even as a Gaza disarmament roadmap offered a rare note of de-escalation in West Asia. On the home front, Parliament tightened the rules for delayed birth and death registration, India and Bhutan signed a fresh Rs 4,000-crore development credit line, and the World Meteorological Organization flagged a strong El Nino building into the second half of the year with direct implications for India’s post-monsoon weather. The Indian Navy also launched INS Machilipatnam, its seventh indigenous anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft, and the world marked the 20th edition of World Ranger Day. The full roundup, seven deep-dive articles, and a practice quiz follow.
