A Big Hello and A Very Good Moring to Readers and Viewers,

Today is WEDNESDAY, 18th JUNE 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ...

Iranian state television on Tuesday afternoon urged the country's public to remove the messaging platform WhatsApp from their smartphones, alleging the app - without offering specific evidence - gathered user information to send to Israel. In a statement, WhatsApp said it was "concerned these false reports will be an excuse for our services to be blocked at a time when people need them the most.” WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, meaning a service provider in the middle can’t read a message. However, the news has taken the internet and social media by storm.

Meanwhile, lets take a look at what is buzzing across the World, Nation and State.

Bond Markets: The 10-year government bond yield edged up to 6.98%, reflecting expectations of steady monetary policy. Demand for state bonds remained robust, with Maharashtra’s recent bond auction seeing strong local investor interest. Economic Times

Commentary: The Indian markets are navigating global headwinds and domestic optimism. While equity markets reflect caution, the realty sector’s strength and steady commodity prices signal resilience. The rupee’s stability and robust bond demand underscore confidence in India’s macroeconomic framework. However, hyperlocal issues like financial fraud highlight the need for tighter oversight to protect retail investors. As festive demand picks up, markets may see renewed momentum, provided global cues remain supportive.

THE GLOBAL WRAP-UP

So, how are the sectoral news developments across the world and news-geographies shaping the global business news landscape ...

News-Commentary: Global Tensions, Local Crises, and Quirky Mishaps
By Himanshu R. Bhayani
The world is on edge, bhai, with conflicts and crises making headlines from Tehran to Gaza, and even a few oddballs like a car stuck at an Italian tourist spot stealing the limelight.
Let’s dive into the latest news, served with a dash of Indian English commentary, to make sense of this global tamasha.
First up, the Middle East is hotter than a Delhi summer.
US President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on Iran, claiming he knows where their Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is hiding and demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender.”
According to Gulf Today link, Trump’s rhetoric is escalating tensions, with the US reportedly having “complete control” of Iran’s skies.
But Responsible Statecraft link warns that this surrender-or-bust approach could guarantee war, not peace.
Meanwhile, The New Daily link says US patience is wearing thin, hinting at possible military moves.
Trump’s even holding Situation Room meetings, as per ABC News link, to weigh options as Israel and Iran trade strikes.
Israel’s attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, reports IranWire link, are pushing the region closer to chaos, with Russia warning of a “nuclear catastrophe” (Anadolu Agency link).
Iran, on its part, is asking citizens to delete WhatsApp (Gulf Today link), probably fearing cyber snooping.
And Trump’s rejecting claims that Iran’s nowhere near a nuclear bomb, as per India Today link, while hinting at “something much bigger” than a ceasefire (Outlook India link).
Arre, this is like a Bollywood potboiler, but with real missiles!
Closer to the region, Gaza is bleeding. PBS Online link reports at least 51 Palestinians were killed and over 200 wounded while waiting for aid trucks.
This humanitarian crisis is a gut punch, with famine looming as Israel blocks aid.
The UAE, meanwhile, is playing good Samaritan, evacuating 24 people from an oil tanker after a collision near the Hormuz Strait, says Daily Ausaf link.
Respect to the UAE for stepping up in this tense neighbourhood.
Across the Atlantic, Canada’s tightening the screws on Russia with more sanctions, as CP24 link quotes Mark Carney calling for “maximum pressure.”
With the Ukraine war dragging on, Canada’s showing it’s not just about maple syrup and hockey, yaar. But in New York, there’s drama of another kind.
NYC Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested at an immigration court, reports India Today link, for linking arms with a detainee.
Politics, protests, and arrests—NYC’s got it all!
In Europe, Spain’s finally figured out why half the country went dark in April.
The Washington Times link and Novinite link say it was grid failures and shoddy planning, not a cyberattack.
Phew, no hackers, but Spain’s got some serious homework to do on its power grid.
And speaking of Europe, a confused driver got their car stuck on a famous Italian tourist attraction, per The Independent link.
Bhai, GPS fail or what?
This is the kind of news that makes you chuckle amid all the gloom.
In Africa, Kenya’s deputy police chief has resigned after a blogger’s death sparked outrage, says News24 link.
Public pressure works, but it’s a sad reminder of how things can spiral.
And across the globe in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Erick is brewing, with Miami Herald link showing “spaghetti models” hinting at a possible major hurricane.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t turn into a monster storm.
So, what’s the takeaway? The world’s a messy place right now—wars, sanctions, tragedies, and even a car stuck where it shouldn’t be.
Trump’s Iran gambit could either be a masterstroke or a disaster, but the Middle East needs de-escalation, not more bombs.
Gaza’s suffering can’t be ignored, and countries like the UAE and Canada are showing how to act responsibly.
As for us in India, we watch, we pray, and maybe laugh a little at that Italian tourist trap mishap.
Stay safe, stay informed, and let’s hope for calmer days ahead.

THE INDIA WRAP-UP

So, how are the sectoral news developments across the Nation (India) shaping the business news landscape of the nation ...

Heavy Rains, G7 Summit, and More: A Week of Headlines in India
This week, India grappled with a mix of natural, political, and economic developments, alongside international engagements. From Delhi’s waterlogged streets to high-profile arrests and corporate investments, here’s a rundown of the top stories shaping the nation’s narrative, with a sprinkle of commentary on what they mean for the aam aadmi and the country at large.
Delhi was brought to its knees by heavy rainfall, causing waterlogging, traffic snarls, and flight diversions, as reported by NDTV. The chaos is a stark reminder of the capital’s creaky infrastructure, which buckles under monsoon pressure year after year. While civic bodies scramble to respond, residents are left wading through knee-deep water, questioning why pre-monsoon preparations remain a pipe dream. Meanwhile, in Kolkata, VIP Road residents’ pleas over waterlogging forced a halt to metro construction work, per The Times of India. It’s high time urban planners prioritise drainage systems over flashy projects.
On the aviation front, the DGCA’s review of Air India’s Boeing 787 fleet found no major safety lapses, according to Malayala Manorama. This is a relief, but a viral video falsely linked to a recent Air India crash—actually a 2020 Ryanair incident—shows how misinformation can fuel panic, as debunked by Full Fact. Separately, a bizarre incident involving angry passengers forcing SpiceJet ground staff to eat biryani drew condemnation from the airline, per Indian Express. Such behaviour is unacceptable, but it also points to rising passenger frustration with airline services—something the industry must address.
In Tamil Nadu, the suspension of ADGP S. Davidson Devasirvatham following his arrest in a teenage kidnapping case has sent shockwaves, as reported by The Week. This high-profile case underscores the need for accountability at all levels of law enforcement. Similarly, the Enforcement Directorate’s summons to Congress leader DK Suresh in the Aishwarya Gowda ‘fraud’ case, noted by The Economic Times, highlights the ongoing scrutiny of political figures. These developments fuel public distrust, but they also show investigative agencies are active—though questions about selective targeting persist.
On the economic front, Hindustan Zinc’s Rs 12,000-crore investment plan over three years, per The Financial Express, signals confidence in India’s mining sector.
In real estate, Blackstone’s Rs 3,250-crore acquisition of Kolkata’s South City Mall, also via The Financial Express, reflects growing investor interest in premium assets.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw’s inauguration of India’s largest automobile in-plant railway siding in Manesar, reported by Indian Express, aims to boost railway car loading efficiency. These moves bode well for industrial growth, but their trickle-down benefits for workers and small businesses remain to be seen.
In politics, Sharad Pawar firmly quashed rumours of a reunion with Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction, as per The Hindu. This puts an end to speculation but keeps Maharashtra’s political pot simmering.
Across the border, PM Narendra Modi’s G7 Summit visit saw Canada’s Mark Carney receiving him, per India Today. However, Sikh protests in Calgary, reported by CTV News Calgary, highlight lingering tensions over India-Canada ties.
Back home, the Army’s talks with ex-Chiefs post-Operation Sindoor, also via India Today, signal a push for reforms, a positive step for military modernisation.
Bihar’s cabinet decisions, including six new airports and MSP for pulses, as per The Business Standard, could transform the state’s connectivity and agricultural economy. On the defence front, the Navy’s induction of ‘Arnala’, the first of 16 indigenous anti-submarine ships, on June 18, per India Today, boosts India’s maritime capabilities.
In tech, SpaceX president’s meeting with Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia after Starlink’s India licence approval, via NDTV, hints at a broadband revolution in rural areas.
Tragically, Covid claimed historian Chittabrata Palit at 82, and Maharashtra reported two more virus-linked deaths, per The Times of India. These losses remind us the pandemic’s shadow lingers.
On the crime front, the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case revealed chilling details, including a failed first attempt, as per Hindustan Times.
In Delhi, police busted a ‘fake loan’ scam, arresting two, via The Times of India.
These cases highlight the need for public awareness and robust policing.
As India navigates these challenges and opportunities, the week’s events reflect a nation in flux—balancing growth with governance, and global ambitions with local realities. For the common citizen, the hope is that these headlines translate into tangible progress, not just fleeting news cycles.
