2 & 3 Nov 2026 Daily Current Affairs by Vishal Sir for all One day & UPSC Exams

Summary

The instructor reviews current-affairs topics for UPSC, defence, and other one-day competitive exams. Because the previous session was cancelled, the class covers news from both the previous day and the current day.

Chandigarh’s Drug-Free Goal

Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah reportedly said that Chandigarh is to become India’s first drug-free city, with a focus on stopping illegal drug sales.

The instructor cited Chandigarh Police conviction rates of 93% in NDPS-related cases and 85% overall, and said the force had received the President’s Colours.

Exam focus: Chandigarh, the drug-free-city announcement, and the police award.

Bhutan’s Stupas and India–Bhutan Relations

The instructor said that about 400 people in Bhutan built 108 stupas in nine hours. In the subtitles, stupas are referred to as “chatan.” Stupa number 76 was dedicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which the lesson linked to his turning 76.

The class also mentions Bhutan’s development of Gelephu Mindfulness City and India’s support for the project, presenting it as a topic relevant to India–Bhutan relations.

Indian Navy’s Project 18A

The Navy is described as planning an ₹80,000-crore project to build next-generation steel guided-missile destroyers. The instructor said 75% of the materials would be Indian-made and credited the Navy’s Warship Design Bureau with designing the ships.

The project is presented as a way to strengthen naval capability amid China’s growing presence in the Indian Ocean and Pakistan’s naval development. The instructor estimated that delivery could take five to ten years.

Cyclone Names

According to the subtitles, cyclone Murasu, expected to affect Andhra Pradesh, was named by India. “Murasu” is described as a Tamil word for a traditional war drum.

The previous cyclone is called Arnab in the subtitles, with Bangladesh credited for the name. The next name in the sequence is given as Akwan, contributed by Iran. These names and spellings are reproduced as rendered in the auto-generated subtitles.

Privately Developed Fusion Reactor

A company transcribed in the subtitles as Pranos Fusion is said to be developing Pranik, described as India’s first privately developed fusion reactor, with a target of 2027. The instructor also mentions Pragya as the technology the reactor will use.

The exam takeaway is the names and the claim that Pranik would be a privately developed fusion reactor.

India’s Automobile Industry

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is cited as saying that India’s automobile industry is worth ₹22 lakh crore and has become the world’s third-largest.

The ranking given is China first, the United States second, India third, and Japan fourth. The instructor also cites sales of more than 55 lakh vehicles in India in 2025, compared with 45 lakh in Japan.

Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship

India hosted the inaugural Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship, described as a 2026 event. India won gold in both the men’s and women’s competitions. The men’s team reportedly remained unbeaten and defeated Sri Lanka in the final; the women’s team defeated Uganda.

The instructor emphasizes remembering the host nation and the winners. The session’s homework asks which country India’s women’s team defeated; the answer given in the lesson is Uganda.
