PM Modi applauds National Record-breakers, highlights Indias Athletics surge in Mann Ki Baat
New Delhi [India], May 31 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lauded Indias emerging athletics stars for rewriting the record books at the 29th National Senior Athletics Federation Cup 2026 in Ranchi, describing their achievements as a reflection of the countrys growing sporting prowess. Addressing the 134th episode of Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi highlighted four national records that were broken during the competition and congratulated the athletes responsible for the landmark performances. Just a few days ago, the National Senior Athletics Federation Competition was held in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Nearly 800 athletes participated in it from all over the country. During this, four national records were broken in four different events. Gurindervir Singh, Vishal TK, Tejaswin Shankar, Dev Meena and Kuldeep Kumar set new records in different categories. First of all, I congratulate all of them, PM Modi said. Among the standout performers was sprinter Gurindervir Singh, who became the first Indian man to run the 100 metres in under 10.10 seconds. The 25-year-old clocked a sensational 10.09 seconds in the final to establish a new national record. The achievement capped a dramatic contest in which the national record changed hands multiple times. Gurindervir had initially run 10.17 seconds in the semifinals before Animesh Kujur bettered it with 10.15 seconds in the following heat. Gurindervir responded in emphatic fashion in the final, reclaiming the record and securing qualification for the 2026 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. His 10.09-second effort also ranked among Asias fastest performances this season. Another historic moment came in the mens 400 metres, where Vishal Thennarasu Kayalvizhi became the first Indian athlete to break the 45-second barrier. Vishal stormed to victory in 44.98 seconds, setting a new national record and climbing to the top of Asias seasonal rankings. His landmark run added a new chapter to Indias rich 400m tradition and drew emotional celebrations from his family and coaching team. In the decathlon, Tejaswin Shankar continued his remarkable transition from high jump specialist to all-round athlete by scoring 8,057 points and becoming the first Indian to cross the 8,000-point mark. The performance improved his own national record and featured personal bests in four events, underlining his rapid rise in the discipline. The mens pole vault competition also produced history as Kuldeep Kumar and Dev Meena jointly rewrote the national record. The duo cleared 5.45 metres at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Ranchi after an intense contest that saw the lead change hands several times. Dev first surpassed Kuldeeps previous national record of 5.41m by clearing 5.42m. Kuldeep immediately responded with a successful attempt at 5.45m, before Dev matched the height to ensure both athletes finished as joint national record holders. The Federation Cup witnessed participation from nearly 800 athletes and emerged as one of the most successful editions of the competition. (ANI)

New Report Warns of Immediate Climate Risks Across India's 11,000 km Coastline
Indian Coastal Region: Climate Projections 2021–2040’ report released by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. Santonu Goswami, Professor, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru Focusing on near-term projections (2021-2040) the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and local communities, using CMIP6* model projections corrected for regional bias to improve accuracy. The report warns that the window for adaptation is rapidly narrowing as the 1.5°C warming threshold is expected to be reached across India’s administrative regions in the near future. “Climate change is not some distant future challenge—it is the reality of today. 2040 is just 14 years away,” said Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation . “This dataset brings to life the impacts of climate change with much greater immediacy, highlighting how we must restructure our infrastructure and governance to ensure we collectively address this crisis.” The report traces how specific changes—from rising wet-bulb temperatures in Kerala to intensifying monsoons in Maharashtra—are already rendering traditional knowledge systems, like the Nakaih wind calendar, unreliable. It aims to provide the foundational data necessary for local authorities to build district-level resilience. “The data in this report is a mirror that reflects a reality we can no longer afford to ignore. For decades, we treated climate change as a global abstraction — a problem of polar ice caps and distant centuries. But our findings show that for the Indian coastline, the crisis is hyper-local and immediate. Whether it is the heat stress in Ernakulam or the rising salinity in the Sundarbans, our vulnerability is visible in all aspects of our daily lives. We have a short window of time to move from reactive mitigation to proactive adaptation — we need to craft a future that acknowledges the ecological challenges faced by our nation,” said Harini Nagendra, Director, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University. Maharashtra and Gujarat’s coastal regions are entering a period of significant environmental transition, with Suburban Mumbai projected to see summer maximum temperatures rise by 1.3°C, highlighting the growing need for heat-resilient urban planning. This warming is accompanied by a marked intensification of seasonal rainfall; Suburban Mumbai is expected to face almost an additional week (+6 days) of heavy rain, while districts like Surat and Bhavnagar are preparing for Southwest monsoon surges of 23% and 24%, respectively. These shifts are already impacting local livelihoods: for instance, the Koli community in Mumbai reports business losses when unpredictable rain spells disrupt the traditional drying of prawns. By focusing on the immediate 2040 window, the report provides the granular data necessary for the West Coast to safeguard its infrastructure and unique coastal heritage. Key Findings Rising Temperatures: India’s average temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5°C, with approximately 40 coastal districts likely to see summer temperatures rise by over 1°C. Dangerous "Wet-Bulb" Heat: Coastal Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience high summer wet-bulb temperatures, nearing the 31°C- levels considered dangerous for humans. Ernakulam Heat Spike: Ernakulam is projected to record the highest increase in maximum summer temperatures projected at +1.3°C among all coastal districts. Intensified West Coast Monsoons: Coastal Maharashtra and Gujarat will receive significantly higher rainfall with suburban Mumbai likely to experience nearly an additional week of heavy rain. Surat’s Monsoon Surge: Surat is projected to see a substantial 23% increase in Southwest Monsoon compared to historical levels. Sea-Level Rise and Erosion: Under moderate emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5)**, global sea levels are projected to rise by 15 cm by 2050, accelerating coastal erosion and creating "ghost villages" in regions like Ganjam, Odisha. Cyclone Risk: Rapid acceleration in sea surface temperatures (0.27°C per decade) is increasing the likelihood of intense tropical cyclones. Impact on Traditional Livelihoods: In Goa, unseasonal rains are destroying entire salt harvests within hours, while warming seas are pushing fish further offshore, leading to "empty nets" for small-scale fishermen. Health and Salinity: In the Sundarbans, rising salinity from frequent embankment breaches is linked to increased skin diseases and menstrual health challenges among women.

IMD predicts below-normal monsoon rainfall for India in 2026
New Delhi, May 29:The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the country is likely to receive below-normal southwest monsoon rainfall during the June-September season this year, while warning of above-normal heatwave days in several states during June. In its updated long-range forecast issued by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the IMD said the monsoon seasonal rainfall during 2026 is likely to be around 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of plus or minus 4 percent. The LPA for the monsoon season based on 1971-2020 data is 87 cm. According to the forecast, there is an 84 per cent probability of below-normal or deficient rainfall across the country during the monsoon season. The IMD said below-normal rainfall is most likely over most parts of the country, except some areas of northwest and northeast India, eastern parts of peninsular India and adjoining east-central regions, where normal to above-normal rainfall is expected. The weather agency warned that below-normal rainfall may create challenges for agriculture, drinking water supply, hydropower generation and ecosystem sustainability. It may also increase the risks of drought and heat stress in several regions. For June 2026, rainfall across the country is also expected to remain below normal at less than 92 percent of the Long Period Average. However, some parts of northwest and northeast India and several areas of south peninsular India are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall. The IMD further said above-normal heatwave days are expected during June over many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Isolated regions of Maharashtra, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness more heatwave days than usual. However, Rajasthan and Jharkhand are expected to see below-normal heatwave days during the month. The Ministry of Earth Sciences said above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country during June. The IMD noted that neutral El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions over the equatorial Pacific are currently transitioning towards El Nino conditions, which are likely to develop during the southwest monsoon season. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to continue during the monsoon period. The weather office advised state governments and district administrations to take necessary preparedness measures to deal with possible heatwave conditions, including ensuring safe drinking water, operational cooling shelters and stronger health surveillance systems. The IMD also urged people to remain hydrated, avoid exposure during peak afternoon hours and take special care of vulnerable individuals, including children, elderly people and outdoor workers. The department said it will issue the forecast for July rainfall in the last week of June 2026.

Even as the Congress officially declared that Siddaramaiah will continue to be the chief minister of Karnataka, multiple reports citing sources revealed that he will step down later this week and make way for D.K. Shivakumar to take over the top post in the state. What will Siddaramaiah get in return? Sources have claimed that Siddaramaiah has been offered a Rajya Sabha berth and asked to play a national role from Delhi. His son Yathindra Siddaramaiah is likely to be deputy chief minister. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah is yet give nod to the high command's proposal and sought more time to decide on the issue. Minister loyal to Siddaramaiah and his close aides have reportedly asked him to weigh in all his options before deciding on resigning as CM. The reports come after a day-long discussions between the Congress high command and the state top brass. AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said the party discussed only the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and vacant MLC seats. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal denying reports of Siddaramaiah stepping down. He was addressing the media while flanked by Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. The candidates of Rajya Sabha and Council seats of Karnataka will be announced along with the other seats like Chhattisgarh, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, like these states. That's all, he said. The nominations for the Rajya Sabha elections have to be filed by June 8. If Shivakumar becomes chief minister, it will put an end to years-long power tussle in the Karnataka Congress unit as his supporters have been claiming that the top job was promised to their leader during the 2023 assembly elections. In November, when the Congress government completed its halfway mark, Shivakumar's supporters camped in Delhi to seek the chief minister's post for their leader. However, Siddaramiah asserted that he wanted to complete the full five-year term as CM. Amid uncertainty in the state leadership, Leader of Opposition in Karnataka assembly R. Ashoka on Tuesday said the power struggle between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar had pushed the government into a coma stage. The CM had said that Ministers will have to tour districts once in 15 days, but the CM himself is not following it. No one is touring their district to address public grievances, everyone is on a Delhi tour... It was said that grievance redressal meetings are not being held. Everyone is on a Delhi tour, Ashoka said.

Adressing media outside Indira Bhawan in the presence of Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said there was no truth to the speculation about change in Karnataka chief minister. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal.

The candidates of Rajya Sabha and Council seats of Karnataka will be announced along with the other seats like Chhattisgarh, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, like these states. That's all, he added. Ever since the Congress came to power in 2023, Shivakumar's supporters have been seeking his appointment as CM in line with a previously agreed power-sharing formula with Siddaramaiah. Back then, Kharge said that the high command would give the medicine when required. People in the high command Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and I will sit together and deliberate on this...

bengaluru-to-receive-rainfall-until-friday-coastal-karnataka-to-get-relief-from-heat
Bengaluru is set to get a respite from the intense heat, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Karnataka's capital city will experience rain until May 29, Friday. As a precaution, a yellow alert has been issued for Bengaluru throughout the week. Light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected across the city throughout the coming week, the IMD confirmed on Sunday. The weather office credited a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal for the sudden change in weather conditions. This cyclonic circulation has created favourable conditions for widespread and continuous rainfall in Bengaluru, IMD officials reportedly said. On Monday, Bengaluru is expected to experience cloudy skies from the afternoon hours, with strong winds blowing at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h in some areas. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Bengaluru are likely to be around 32C and 22C respectively, TV9 Kannada said in a report. The maximum temperature, which had earlier averaged around 34C, has now dropped below 30C in many places, the report added. Karnataka weather news Apart from Bengaluru, yellow alerts have also been issued until May 29 for most districts in North Interior Karnataka, Coastal Karnataka, and South Interior Karnataka by the IMD. In addition, a northsouth trough extending from southern Bihar through Jharkhand and Odisha to the north coast of Andhra Pradesh has also contributed to the weather changes. However, several states grappled with scorching heat on Sunday, with Brahmapuri in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra emerging as the hottest place in the country at 47.2 degrees Celsius. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius, 3.4 notches above the seasonal average.
