Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for Friday, September 4, 2026. GSLV-F17 lifted off from Sriharikota at 2.55 this morning and placed EOS-05 in orbit, giving India its first imaging satellite designed to work from geosynchronous orbit, and closing a five-year gap left by the loss of an identical spacecraft in 2021.

From today UPI applications may show only the last four digits of a customer’s mobile number, a system-wide privacy change achieved through scheme rules more than two years before the data protection statute would have required it. The UN Environment Programme has concluded that no plausible pathway now keeps warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, and that some of the damage beyond that threshold will not reverse even if temperatures later come back down. India and Germany signed a joint declaration on wetlands at a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the fourth Indo-German Environment Forum, and the Archaeological Survey of India has brought a Kakatiya temple beside the Ramappa World Heritage site under national protection. In the roundup, India Post Payments Bank marked nine years with three digital launches, the Collegium recommended Chief Justices for four High Courts, and the Commerce Ministry opened a drive to raise the utilisation of India’s trade agreements.
