Oracle has issued fresh layoff notices to thousands of employees via early morning emails, revoking system access immediately while asking for personal emails to send severance papers. Estimates place the latest job cuts between 5,000 and 10,000, adding to the 21,000 jobs the company has eliminated over the past year, reducing its global workforce by thirteen percent. Concurrently, Oracle increased its capital expenditure from 8.5 billion dollars to 28.5 billion dollars and plans to raise another 40 billion dollars in debt and equity to build artificial intelligence data centres. While product engineering faces major cuts, support and consulting roles remain relatively safer, though specific impact numbers on Oracle's workforce in India remain unconfirmed.

In Bengaluru's Koramangala, a resident repaired a badly damaged section of a footpath after official complaints lodged with civic authorities, including the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and the Greater Bengaluru Authority, failed to yield action. The citizen spent two thousand seven hundred rupees out of pocket to purchase materials, hire labour, and construct a cement ramp, making the stretch accessible for wheelchair users, senior citizens, and strollers. Following the repair, a Karnataka government minister welcomed the citizen initiative. The incident highlights concerns over civic infrastructure maintenance and administrative responsiveness when residents undertake public repairs independently.

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration has suspended the food business licence of Mumbai's historic Café Mondegar following an inspection that flagged multiple food safety and hygiene violations. Operating since 1932, the landmark restaurant faced action after officials found hot food was not kept above the mandated 60 degrees Celsius and cold storage was not maintained below 5 degrees Celsius. Inspectors also noted improper defrosting, inadequate rapid cooling of cooked food, improper equipment sanitisation, damp flooring, and an inadequate drainage system posing cross-contamination risks. FDA Commissioner Tukaram Munde stated that the suspension stems from non-compliance with Schedule 4 regulations under licensing rules. The measure forms part of a wider statewide food safety crackdown during Ganesh Utsav, during which the agency seized over 4,138 kilograms of dairy and sweet products, alongside 30 litres of liquid milk valued at over 15.5 lakh rupees, and held hygiene workshops for festival organisers.

The Indian government is reclassifying Meta as a service provider rather than merely an intermediary following controversies regarding child sexual abuse content. According to government sources, platforms using algorithmic distribution cannot simply claim intermediary protection to avoid accountability. Meta officials have admitted mistakes and agreed to vet content on the platform, with a specific focus on child safety. Furthermore, Meta has committed to reporting child abuse material directly to Indian law enforcement agencies, coordinating through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
