Penguin Random House India backs out of publishing Sonia Gandhi’s memoir: report

In a coordinated effort to rescue Tamil Nadu residents trapped in Nepal's devastating flash floods, four Tamil Nadu ministers journeyed to Delhi. The ministers of Public Works, School Education, Agriculture, and Non-Resident Tamils Welfare arrived in the capital to monitor rescue and relief operations for those stranded in Nepal.

The flood situation in Nepal has taken a tragic turn as rescuers battle to reach approximately 100 people trapped inside a hydropower tunnel. Nepalese authorities believe the disaster was triggered by a glacial collapse, raising concerns about India's preparedness for similar cascading Himalayan disasters.

Among the missing is a veteran Mumbai mountaineer who had left medicine to pursue his passion for mountains. The disaster has left people from 30 countries missing, with Indians among those unaccounted for.

Meanwhile, Penguin India has decided not to publish Sonia Gandhi's book after the author rejected requested changes. This decision follows a long-standing feud between the author and the publishing house. Several Indian publishers are now vying for the rights to publish and distribute the book in India, keeping this politically sensitive title in the news.
