This digest covers the end of the CJP protest in Delhi, a new U.S. Senate bill proposing a three-year H-1B visa pause, and legislative changes in West Bengal. It also notes the popularity of a late Iranian leader's diary in Srinagar and the rejection of Metro Rail projects in Tamil Nadu.
Why it matters
The proposed U.S. visa restrictions could significantly impact global labor mobility and the tech sector's access to international talent.
Following the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) decision to call off its 36-day Jantar Mantar protest, Delhi Police is likely to withdraw all FIRs registered in connection with the agitation, officials said on Saturday (July 25, 2026). “The official communication is yet to come, but the FIRs are likely to be withdrawn now,” said Sachin Sharma, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), New Delhi.
A U.S. Senator has introduced a Bill in the Senate that seeks to pause the issuance of new H-1B visas for three years and codify the $100,000 fee imposed by the Trump administration, which was struck down by a federal court. U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy, a Republican from Montana, said the U.S. should not be issuing visas that make it easier to undercut the rights of American workers.
