Daily Current Affairs 4 August 2026
Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for August 4, 2026. Parliament dominated the day. The Lok Sabha raised the sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court from 34 judges to 38, passing the Bill in under ten minutes without debate, and the Rajya Sabha cleared the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, which routes registrations delayed beyond two years through a Judicial Magistrate rather than an executive officer. The Rajya Sabha also passed an MSME amendment aimed squarely at delayed payments, and the Indian Statistical Institute Bill drew immediate objection from the institute’s own faculty over autonomy. From the Supreme Court came two significant holdings: that Section 498A can reach a live-in relationship in the nature of marriage, and that the right to walk on a safe, encroachment-free footpath is part of Article 21. On the environment, the Ministry marked International Clouded Leopard Day by publicising India’s first Clouded Leopard Conservation Action Plan, and Glaw Lake in Arunachal Pradesh became India’s 101st Ramsar site and the state’s first. The full roundup, eight deep-dive articles, and a practice quiz follow.
