09:49⇢Kishtwar's Cloudburst Toll
⌨Indian media is primarily focused on the severe cloudburst in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district, near the Machail Mata Shrine, with reports confirming significant casualties, around 10-12 dead, and ongoing rescue operations (Aaj Tak, ABP Live, Dainik Bhaskar, Dinamalar, India Today, Mathrubhumi, Times of India, Zee News). This natural disaster takes precedence, while discussions also continue on electoral integrity and the Election Commission's role (Jagran, Frontline, The Hindu).
