Indian Express Delhi and Kolkata Epaper Editions Released

The Indian Express published its Delhi edition for Thursday, July 23, 2026, as a 22-page issue priced at ₹7.00, with variant rates of ₹8 in Raipur and ₹15 in Srinagar (Indian Express). The front page carried the editorial headline "The voice of india's youth must be heard inside Parliament," framing a crisis that has paralysed the heart of the capital since late June (Indian Express).

Activist Sonam Wangchuk, on a hunger strike since June 28, opened a window for resolution on Wednesday after meeting Union Ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh at Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon the previous night (Indian Express). Wangchuk released a letter stating he would end his fast and ask students to "halt the movement for now and enter into a dialogue with the government" if assurances are fulfilled and no legal action is pressed against protesters (Indian Express). The ministers reportedly assured him the government would consider "adequate compensation for the families of the students who had committed suicide following the examination paper leak" and "a meaningful discussion in Parliament to ensure accountability," without insisting on the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan (Indian Express).

Inside Parliament, the gridlock persisted on Wednesday as opposition parties remained firm on demanding Pradhan's resignation, even as the government reiterated its willingness to hold an elaborate discussion on the paper leak issue (Indian Express). Opposition MPs also reached out to Wangchuk, urging him to end his fast (Indian Express). Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court declined to accept the Delhi Police argument that aggrieved protesters must individually pursue action against alleged brutalities during the 'Chalo Sansad' march on July 20, organised by the Cockroach collective (Indian Express).

The Kolkata edition, dated Wednesday, July 22, 2026, ran to 20 pages at a cover price of ₹6.00, with higher rates of ₹12 in the north east states and ₹20 in Andaman (Indian Express). Both editions list daily publication from Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, and Vadodara (Indian Express).
