Latest News Today: On the morning of 2 May 2026, the major news of the country and the world saw the wide impact of inflation, weather, security, politics and global developments. The huge surge in commercial LPG prices has increased the pressure on common people and traders, while IMD’s forecast of more than normal rainfall has raised hopes of relief. The major action by the Narcotics Control Bureau has hit the drugs network, while the re-poll decision of the Election Commission of India has increased political tension in West Bengal. At the international level, developments like Donald Trump’s statement on Iran, increased terrorist threat in the United Kingdom and resumption of Air India Express services are affecting the global scenario.
1. Commercial LPG becomes expensive, impact on common consumers
The huge increase in commercial LPG cylinder prices by ₹993 by government oil companies has created a stir in the market. This increase will directly increase the costs of hotels, restaurants and small traders, which will also impact the common consumers. However, the prices of petrol and diesel have been kept stable, which has provided relief to private vehicle drivers. At the international level, increasing tension in West Asia and fluctuations in crude oil prices are being considered as the main reasons for this increase. Experts believe that if this trend continues, further pressure on inflation may increase.
2. More rain than normal expected in May
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted above normal rainfall in May 2026, which could be more than 110% of the ‘long period average’. This forecast is expected to provide relief to farmers and departments related to water resources management. There is a possibility of rain along with thunder and strong winds, which can reduce the initial heat wave. However, meteorologists have also warned that sudden heavy rains can cause waterlogging and traffic disruption in urban areas.
3. Drugs worth ₹1,745 crore seized in Mumbai
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized cocaine worth ₹ 1,745 crore in a major action in Mumbai. This action is being counted among the biggest successes so far against the international drugs network. The agency has taken several suspects into custody and started questioning them. This action indicates that India is continuing its tough campaign against drug trafficking and cracking down on international gangs.
4. Orders for re-polling in West Bengal
Election Commission of India has ordered re-polling at 15 polling stations in West Bengal. This decision was taken after complaints of irregularities and violence during the elections. At the same time, All India Trinamool Congress has alleged burglary in the EVM strongroom, due to which political tension is at its peak. Security agencies have been put on alert and surveillance has been increased ahead of the counting of votes.
5. Travel easy with Mumbai-Pune Expressway ‘missing link’
The inauguration of the ‘Missing Link’ project of the Mumbai–Pune Expressway is expected to reduce travel time by about 30 minutes. The project is designed to make dangerous stretches of the highway safer and reduce traffic jams. Along with this, the news of opening of Noida International Airport in June has indicated a boom in the infrastructure sector of the country.
6. Trump’s big statement on Iran conflict
Donald Trump has declared the conflict with Iran “over”, although regional tensions are still far from over. Despite the ceasefire, America has imposed new economic sanctions on Iran. This development may set a new direction in global politics and may also have an impact on energy markets.
7. India-UAE trade touches $100 billion
According to Piyush Goyal, trade between India and United Arab Emirates has crossed $100 billion. This achievement was achieved rapidly after the free trade agreement came into force in 2022. This has strengthened the economic relations between the two countries and opened up new opportunities for export and import.
8. UK alert after London attack
The United Kingdom has raised the terrorist threat level to “severe” following a knife attack in London. The Jewish community was targeted in the attack. Security agencies have increased surveillance in view of possible threats and international travelers have been advised to remain alert.
9. Air India Express returns to Gulf
Air India Express has resumed all its operations in the Gulf countries. This has brought relief to thousands of Indian expatriates and travelers who were affected due to travel restrictions in recent days. This move will strengthen connectivity between India and the Middle East.
