National Current Affairs – 28 October 2025

India News Today GK October 28, 2025

India’s national landscape today reflects a diverse set of developments – from disaster-preparedness and festival observances to aviation policy workshops and institutional education changes.

National Current Affairs – 28 October 2025

Each of these items has implications for governance, economy, society and exam preparation alike. Below we cover five major stories in depth, analyze their significance, and connect them to broader themes.

1. Cyclone Montha Approaches Andhra-Odisha Coast — Central Government Assures Support

One of the top stories today is the approach of Cyclone Montha over the Bay of Bengal-coast region and the government’s preparedness response.

What’s happening

According to the joint bulletin of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Cyclone Montha is centred about 420 km east of Chennai, moving north-north-west at around 15 kmph. It is likely to intensify into a severe cyclonic storm and make landfall between Machilipatnam and Kalingapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) tonight, with sustained wind speeds of 90–110 kmph and waves rising up to 3.8 metres.

In response, schools in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have declared holidays, fishermen have been told not to venture into sea, and central assistance has been promised. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to assure the government’s support for relief and evacuation operations. News on Air+2India Today+2

Why it matters

  • Disaster management & governance: The way national, state and local agencies coordinate relief efforts during cyclones is a major governance indicator. Exam‐relevant here are the institutional mechanisms (NDMA, IMD, State DMAs), early warning systems, evacuation protocols.

  • Climate resilience & infrastructure: India’s eastern coast remains vulnerable to cyclonic storms; preparations and infrastructure (shelters, sea-walls, trained personnel) are key. This links with environment & disaster risk reduction topics.

  • Education & social disruption: Holiday announcements across states show how weather events interfere with normal life. For state-level exams, knowing which states declared holidays is useful (e.g., Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha). Jagranjosh.com

  • Central-state cooperation: PM’s speaking role and central assurance signal how the Union government takes a visible role in high-impact events.

Examination pointers

  • What early warning systems does IMD use for cyclonic storms?

  • What are the functions of the NDMA / SDMAs in India?

  • How does climate change influence the frequency / severity of cyclones in the Bay of Bengal?

  • How can India strengthen coastal resilience?

2. School Holidays Declared in Multiple States Due to Festival & Weather

Another significant item: Several states across India have declared school closures for 28 October 2025 for two combined reasons – the festival of Chhath Puja and the cyber-alert/warning due to cyclone. Jagranjosh.com+1

What the facts show

  • States like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal have declared holidays for Chhath Puja.

  • In Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, the holiday is linked to precautionary measures in view of Cyclone Montha and heavy rains.

  • The juxtaposition of a major festival and a looming disaster makes the closures notable from a social policy perspective.

Significance

  • Cultural & social dimensions: Chhath Puja is a major festival in Bihar and adjoining regions; recognising it via school holiday reflects responsiveness to local cultural rhythms.

  • Disaster-preparedness and human security: Proactive closure of schools owing to weather risk demonstrates a pre-emptive stance, beyond reactive mode.

  • Education policy: Disruptions to schooling and the role of state governments in declaring holidays matter for exam topics on education governance and social welfare.

Exam links

  • Difference between centrally notified holidays vs state-government determined holiday lists.

  • Role of school-safety protocols during extreme weather events.

  • Relationship between festivals, public holidays and state policy.

3. Aviation Sector: Asia-Pacific Accident Investigation Workshop Begins

In aviation policy, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) will host the annual Asia-Pacific Accident Investigation Group meeting and associated workshop starting 28 October 2025. Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu is scheduled to inaugurate it; around 90 delegates from aircraft-accident-investigation authorities of the Asia-Pacific region are expected to attend. News on Air

What’s the background

  • The Asia-Pacific Accident Investigation Group (AAIG) brings together national entities responsible for investigating aviation accidents, including those from ICAO member states in Asia–Pacific.

  • India’s hosting indicates its capability and intent to deepen aviation-safety leadership in the region.

Why it matters

  • Safety governance: Accident-investigation authorities play a critical role in identifying causes of air crashes, issuing safety recommendations, and preventing recurrence.

  • International collaboration: Hosting global/regional bodies elevates India’s status as aviation-hub and reflects Make-in-India ambitions.

  • Economic dimension: Safer aviation encourages international airlines, tourism, trade, and boosts connectivity.

  • Exam relevance: Topics on civil aviation, ICAO, international standards (Annex 13), and India’s regulatory mechanisms (DGCA, AAIB) are tied here.

Exam pointers

  • Explain the role of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) / DGCA in India.

  • What is the significance of the Asia-Pacific Accident Investigation Group (AAIG)?

  • What standards does ICAO Annex 13 lay down for aircraft accident investigation?

  • How does aviation safety impact economic growth and connectivity in India?

4. Transport Minister’s Call for Financial Model for Ship-building

A notable policy push: The Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways and Shipping, called for an “innovatively simple, viable and credible financial model” to raise capital for the ship-building industry and develop an independent Indian shipping network capable of attracting global investors. The Times of India+1

Key facts

  • His remarks came as part of India’s attempt to strengthen the maritime sector, including ports, shipyards and logistics.

  • India currently imports a large number of goods via sea-routes but has limited domestic ship-building and shipping capacity.

  • The Minister’s emphasis suggests new policy/regulatory incentives may follow.

Why this is important

  • Maritime economy: Shipping and ship-building are strategic for trade, naval capacity, export of services and job creation.

  • Make-in-India + Atmanirbhar Bharat: Indigenising ship-building aligns with those themes.

  • Financial innovation in infrastructure: Mobilising capital (private/international) for infrastructure is a general theme in recent budgets.

  • Exam relevance: Topics like SAGARMALA, shipping policy, maritime highways, logistics performance index connect here.

Exam links

  • What are India’s major ship-building yards and their capacities?

  • What is the SAGARMALA project?

  • What financial models (PPP, asset monetisation, shipping bonds) could be used for ship-building?

  • How does a strong shipping industry contribute to national security?

5. Judicial/Policy Updates: SC Decision on Contempt & MLA Expulsions

Several governance and legal-process items emerged in national news:

  • The Supreme Court of India declined to initiate contempt proceedings against a lawyer involved in a shoe-throwing incident in court. The Times of India

  • The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) expelled 27 functionaries including two MLAs from its party on disciplinary grounds. The Times of India

Significance

  • Judiciary standards & contempt law: The decision raises debates about accountability of court officers and professional conduct of lawyers. For exam purposes, knowing what constitutes contempt of court, who initiates, and what punishments are possible is key.

  • Party discipline & internal democracy: Political party actions like expulsion underscore internal governance, representation, and the nature of disciplinary mechanisms inside Indian parties.

  • Exam link: On polity, Indian Constitution, function of judiciary, party system, internal dynamics of political parties.

Broader Thematic Analysis

When we step back to view these developments together, some recurring themes emerge:

  • Disaster-risk management & resilience: The Cyclone Montha preparedness and related school closures show India’s increasing urgency in handling disasters. This ties into the larger context of climate change, coastal vulnerabilities and adaptation.

  • Infrastructure & strategic sectors: The push for ship-building, shipping networks and aviation safety workshops point to India prioritising key sectors for economic growth and connectivity.

  • Governance indicators: Decisions by SC and political party actions show how institutional governance, accountability and norms continue to be tested across domains.

  • Social-culture interface: Festival observance (Chhath Puja) combined with weather-linked school closures reflect how cultural rhythms and public policy often intersect.

  • Exam relevance: For aspirants, linking each item to static topics helps — e.g., cyclone → coastal regulation zone, ship-building → Make-in-India, SC decision → Contempt of court law, etc.
