Daily Current Affairs Digest | 24th June 2026
1. UNSC Resolution 2823 Strengthens Accountability for Crimes Against Peacekeepers
The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2823 on 23 June 2026. Co-authored by Denmark and Pakistan, the resolution aims to strengthen accountability for crimes committed against UN peacekeepers.
It mandates the appointment of a senior UN focal point, annual reports on prosecution progress, and greater responsibility for host states in ensuring justice. The resolution builds on India-authored Resolution 2589, which earlier focused on improving safety and cooperation for UN peacekeeping personnel.
This development is significant because attacks on peacekeepers not only endanger UN missions but also weaken international peace and security efforts.
2. Haryana Launches Auto Mutation System and Paperless Registration 2.0
Haryana has launched the Auto Mutation System and Paperless Registration 2.0 to digitise and simplify land record management. The new system links mutation directly with property registration, reducing delays and manual intervention.
It uses Aadhaar e-KYC, biometric verification, digital signatures and QR-based authentication. Citizens can also track their applications online. The reform is expected to bring faster approvals, improve transparency and reduce pending mutation cases.
This is an important step towards digital land governance and citizen-friendly administration.
3. Jonnagiri Gold Mine Begins Commercial Operations in Andhra Pradesh
India’s gold mining sector witnessed a major milestone as the Jonnagiri Gold Mine in Andhra Pradesh began commercial operations on 24 June 2026. Located in the Kurnool district region, it has become India’s only operational private-sector primary gold mine since Independence.
The mine is expected to boost domestic gold production, create employment, generate royalty revenue and support mineral-led growth in the Rayalaseema region.
This development is important for India’s resource security, as the country remains one of the largest consumers of gold while depending heavily on imports.
4. India Tightens FCRA Compliance Framework
India has introduced stricter compliance requirements under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act framework. The 2026 amendments aim to improve transparency in the functioning of foreign-funded NGOs and civil society organisations.
The new rules restrict most NGOs from having foreign key functionaries, require approved activity selection, mandate social media disclosure, and demand tracing of the ultimate donor. Organisations seeking renewal must also meet specified utilisation requirements.
The move is aimed at strengthening transparency and accountability, though it also increases regulatory scrutiny over foreign-funded institutions.
5. NHAI and NCAER Launch India’s First Permanent Transport-Economics Think Tank
The National Highways Authority of India and the National Council of Applied Economic Research have launched the Centre for Economics of Transportation, Mobility and Logistics on 23 June 2026.
This is India’s first permanent think tank dedicated to transport economics. It will study highways, freight movement, toll policy, road safety, logistics reforms, asset monetisation and mobility planning.
The centre is expected to support evidence-based decision-making in infrastructure development. It can help India design more efficient, safe and economically viable transport systems.
6. ULPIN or Bhu-Aadhaar Gives Unique Identity to Land Parcels
ULPIN, also known as Bhu-Aadhaar, provides every land parcel with a unique 14-digit georeferenced identity. This identity links land ownership records with spatial coordinates.
Under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme, crores of land parcels have already received unique IDs. The system helps improve land surveys, reduce disputes, simplify mutation processes and promote transparent governance.
Bhu-Aadhaar is a major reform in India’s land administration system and can play a key role in improving property rights and rural governance.
7. IN-SPACe to Transfer PSLV Technology to Indian Firms
India’s private space sector received a major boost as IN-SPACe moved forward with the transfer of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle technology to eligible Indian-controlled firms.
ISRO will provide technical support for 30 months or two launches, enabling private companies to manufacture launch vehicles and enter the commercial launch market. This step will strengthen India’s private space ecosystem and promote Atmanirbhar Bharat in the space sector.
The move is significant because it opens the door for greater private participation in advanced space technology and commercial satellite launches.
