Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for Sunday, September 6, 2026. The United Nations General Assembly has endorsed the Equal Earth projection over Mercator by 164 votes to 1, ending a cartographic argument that has run since 1973 and correcting a distortion that has made Africa, in reality some fourteen times the size of Greenland, appear its equal for four and a half centuries. At ISRO, employee associations have written to the chairperson questioning the direction of space privatisation, hours after the agency flew GSLV-F17 with EOS-05, India’s first imaging satellite built to operate from geosynchronous orbit; the letter asks for a policy basis that, as it turns out, the Cabinet approved in 2023 without ever publishing a workforce transition plan. In Geneva, 128 High Contracting Parties to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons agreed the first consensus text on lethal autonomous weapons systems after more than a decade of talks, though the document is non-binding and campaigners say it has been diluted.

China is pressing ahead with the 60 GW Yarlung Zangbo mega dam on the Brahmaputra despite the glacial collapse that killed 903 people in Nepal on 26 August, even as India seeks the resumption of hydrological data sharing suspended since June 2023. The World Liquid Gas Association warns that American LPG, now about 67 per cent of India’s imports after the Gulf share collapsed from 81 per cent to 16 per cent in three months, is not by itself a solution. Crypto Systematic Investment Plans are spreading past the metros in a market that India taxes and polices for money laundering but still does not regulate, and TCS subsidiary HyperVault has announced a 1 GW AI data centre campus in Hyderabad at up to ₹70,000 crore.
