    Sebi Launches New Investor Charter for Better Protection & Trust

    On Friday, India’s capital markets watchdog, Sebi, introduced a new plan to protect investors and make the stock market more trustworthy. This updated plan promises to keep investor information private and gives people the right to withdraw their money fairly from any stock market product or service.

    Sebi also improved the way it handles complaints. With the new version of SCORES (Sebi Complaints Redress System) called SCORES 2.0, complaints go directly to the companies involved first, and if needed, Sebi will step in to help resolve any issues. They also launched a SMART ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) portal, which allows people to solve their market-related problems online, making it easier and quicker.

    The goal of this new plan is to help investors understand the risks of their investments while making sure they are treated fairly. Sebi urges everyone to work only with approved market companies and to keep their contact and KYC (Know Your Customer) information updated. Investors should also speak up about their problems within certain time limits.

    The updated plan includes helpful tips for investors, like keeping records of transactions, knowing about risks and fees, and understanding how to file complaints. Sebi warns against risky practices like making cash payments above set limits and sharing sensitive account information. This move aims to make investing easier with new digital solutions.

  • NHAI Updates Highway Builders Rating System for Better Road Safety

    NHAI Updates Highway Builders Rating System for Better Road Safety

    The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has announced a new system to rate companies that build and take care of national highways. This system is aimed at making sure roads are built well and are safe for travelers.

    Here’s how it works: Each company will get a score based on their performance. They will be rated from “excellent” to “failed.” If a company scores below 70 out of 100, they will be called a ‘non-performer’ and won’t be allowed to get new highway projects until they improve their score.

    The ratings will be updated every six months. This will happen at two levels: for each project and for the overall company. You can find the scores on the NHAI website and social media.

    To calculate these scores, NHAI will consider the condition of the road and how well the company fixes any issues. 80% of the score will come from something called the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), while 20% will come from how well the company uses the NHAI One App to report and fix problems.

    The PCI will check for things like bumps, potholes, cracks, and other issues on the road. Special technologies, like laser measurements, will be used to ensure accuracy.

  • PM Modi: Northeast India Will Shape India’s Future

    PM Modi: Northeast India Will Shape India’s Future

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared exciting news about the future of Northeast India during the Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav event in Delhi on Friday. He believes cities like Guwahati, Agartala, Imphal, and Itanagar will become important symbols of growth and power in the coming years. Modi stated, “The future belongs to Eastern India, especially the Northeast,” emphasizing that this century is becoming more about the East.

    He talked about how the government has worked hard over the last decade to strengthen connections with the Northeast. Union ministers made around 700 visits to this region over the past ten years. Modi explained that they are focusing on three key areas: emotions, the economy, and ecology, to help the Northeast develop.

    The Prime Minister also pointed out that the region was often ignored in the past by previous governments. He accused them of making development decisions based on how many votes the Northeast states could provide. Because these states had fewer seats in government, they did not get the attention they deserved. Modi praised the rich culture and strong people of the Northeast, saying, “With its vibrant culture and dynamic people, the Northeast holds immense potential to help India grow.”

    He concluded by saying that events like the Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav will help make the Northeast a central hub of progress and brightness for years to come.

  • Iran Boosts Military Support for Assad as Rebels Gain Ground

    Iran Boosts Military Support for Assad as Rebels Gain Ground

    Iran is planning to send missiles and drones to Syria to help President Bashar al-Assad fight against rebel groups. An Iranian official, who didn’t want to share their name, told Reuters that Iran is ready to send military equipment and increase the number of its military advisers in Syria. Right now, Iran is already giving help in the form of intelligence and satellite support.

    Assad is an important ally for Iran, as he is part of a group they call the “Axis of Resistance” against Israel and U.S. influence in the Middle East. Recently, rebels have been gaining ground in their fight against Assad, which is a big worry for both Iran and Syria.

    The official mentioned that Iran and Russia are working together to help Assad. They believe that Syria has not asked for ground troops from Iran yet, and instead, they want to focus on increasing airstrikes with Russia’s help.

    At the same time, the foreign ministers of Turkey, Iran, and Russia are set to meet in Doha to talk about the situation with the rebels. Turkey supports the opposition to Assad. Iran has urged Turkey not to align with the U.S. and Israel because they think these countries want to weaken Iran and its allies.

    Additionally, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will also be meeting with the foreign ministers of Iraq and Syria in Baghdad to discuss how to handle the situation in Syria. Iran and Iraq are even looking at working together on defense projects through various groups and military forces.

  • Labuschagne and Bumrah’s Heated Exchange Lights Up 2nd Test Match!

    Labuschagne and Bumrah’s Heated Exchange Lights Up 2nd Test Match!

    On Day 1 of the 2nd Test match in Adelaide, Marnus Labuschagne and Jasprit Bumrah had a lively exchange. Playing with the pink ball at night, Bumrah put pressure on the Australian batsmen, including Labuschagne, with his tricky bowling. Bumrah successfully bowled out opener Usman Khawaja after a 10-over wait for a wicket.

    In the 13th over, Labuschagne still hadn’t scored when the Indian team, led by Virat Kohli, began teasing him. Bumrah bowled to Labuschagne, who defended the ball well. After collecting the ball, Bumrah shot a look at Labuschagne, but instead of backing down, Marnus said something back, almost challenging Bumrah. Kohli and Rishabh Pant laughed, and even Bumrah smiled as he went back to bowl.

    The fun didn’t stop there! Bumrah outsmarted Labuschagne on the next ball and jokingly charged at him. Labuschagne responded with a big smile and shook his head, showing there was no hard feelings. Everyone felt the excitement in that over, and even the commentators agreed that things were heating up.

    “This is fierce Test cricket, and Marnus is not backing down,” said Adam Gilchrist during the match, while Kerry O’Keefe added, “It’s a boxing match, isn’t it?”

    Together with Nathan McSweeney, Labuschagne kept the Indian bowlers at bay, scoring 61 runs by the end of Day 1, and bringing Australia’s total deficit under 100 runs before stumps.

  • Pandsera Police Uncover Massive Fake Medical Degree Scam

    Pandsera Police Uncover Massive Fake Medical Degree Scam

    The Pandesara police have discovered a huge scam involving fake medical degrees that has been going on for almost 20 years! They arrested 14 people, including the main leaders of this crime.

    The two main men behind this scam are Dr. B.K. Ravat and Dr. Rasesh Gujarati from Ahmedabad. They sold fake medical degrees to over 1,500 people who were not qualified to be doctors. Each fake degree, known as a Bachelor of Electro Homeopathic Medicine (BEMS), cost Rs 75,000. The police believe these two made at least Rs 10 crores from this illegal business!

    Dr. Ravat has a real medical degree in Ayurvedic Medicine, and Dr. Gujarati has a Diploma in Homeopathy. They created fake degrees under an imaginary organization called the “Board of Electro Homeopathic Medicine.” The police began investigating when they noticed many unqualified doctors running clinics in Pandesara.

    What the Police Found:

    During their searches, the police found many fake documents:
    – Blank and filled fake degree certificates
    – Applications and ID cards for fake doctors
    – A list of over 1,600 people whose names were on the scam’s website

    They also discovered records of payments made by unqualified practitioners using these fake degrees.

    How They Exploited People:

    The scam had two ways to get fake degrees:
    1. People paid Rs 75,000 for a degree and then Rs 3,000 every year to keep it active.
    2. They also charged Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 each month to make sure no one bothered their fake doctors.

    To force people to pay, Gujarati had associates who threatened those who didn’t comply. They sent fake cancellation notices using made-up documents from their pretend board.

    Creating a Fake Website:

    To make the scam look real, they set up a website called behmgujarat.com. It listed names and registration details of fake degree holders. This website helped them collect renewal fees and convince quack doctors that their fake degrees were real.

    Money and Legal Action:

    Dr. Ravat earned a commission for signing fake degrees and making diplomas that looked real. Police are looking into bank records to find out how much money was stolen over the years.

    Two FIRs (First Information Reports) have been filed against the gang for cheating, extorting money, and breaking the Gujarat Medical Practitioners’ Act. Many of those arrested included individuals responsible for threatening others and creating fake documents. Authorities are now worried about how these fake degrees might affect public health.

  • Netflix’s ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’: A New Magical Journey

    Netflix’s ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’: A New Magical Journey

    By Sarah Morland – In Havana, Cuba, workers got ready on Friday for the big screen debut of a new Netflix series based on one of Latin America’s favorite books, “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” This unique show, filmed entirely in Colombia, is based on the famous novel by Gabriel García Márquez, who won a Nobel Prize. The story follows the Buendía family over seven generations in a made-up town called Macondo. It’s a key book in the magical realism genre, which mixes real life with magical elements.

    The director, Alex García López, shared that this story beautifully shows the journey of people and how they face their fates. He believes it connects deeply to current political issues around the world. The first two episodes will be shown at the Havana film festival, even though people in Cuba can’t easily access Netflix.

    Netflix worked closely with García Márquez’s sons to create this adaptation. They promised to film everything in Colombia and keep the dialogue in Spanish, making it a true representation of the book. With stunning costumes and beautiful scenery from Colombia’s beaches, the series aims to impress viewers.

    However, García López pointed out that Latin America has much more to offer than just stories of crime and poverty often portrayed in popular shows. Netflix is exploring various Latino works to share a wider picture of the culture.

  • Supreme Court Rules on Political Party Membership in Bar Elections”

    Supreme Court Rules on Political Party Membership in Bar Elections”

    On Friday, the Supreme Court said that in a democracy, it’s okay to have different ideas, but those ideas must follow the rules of the Constitution. Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan said this while looking at a petition from a lawyer named Jaya Sukin. She wanted the court to tell the government and the Bar Council of India that people running for positions in bar groups shouldn’t belong to any political party.

    The judges replied that there’s no law stopping a political party member from holding elections for bar bodies. They said, “You want us to create a new law? That’s not possible.” Senior lawyer Sirajuddin spoke for Sukin, arguing that if candidates can be members of political parties, they might favor those parties during elections. However, the judges countered, asking, “What’s wrong if a Bar office-holder has political beliefs?”

    Justice Surya Kant pointed out that important people in law, like the late Ram Jethmalani, were part of political parties but also contributed greatly to the legal world. He asked if we should miss out on the wisdom of such talented individuals just because they were involved in politics.

    The judges emphasized that there’s no law against political party members running for bar body elections. They joked, suggesting that Sirajuddin should also join a political party to gain experience. When Sirajuddin asked to send this matter to the Law Commission for more study, the judges refused and allowed him to take back his petition.

    Farmers Halt Delhi March After Tear Gas Injuries: What’s Next?

    Farmers protesting for their rights temporarily stopped their march to Delhi on Friday after some of them got hurt from tear gas used by security forces. A farmer leader named Sarwan Singh Pandher announced that they were calling back the group, called a ‘jatha,’ for the day due to these injuries. He mentioned that five to six farmers had been hurt because of the tear gas fired by security personnel in Haryana.

    A group of 101 farmers had started their foot march to Delhi from their protest site at the Shambhu border but were stopped just a short distance away by barriers set up by Haryana police. The police fired tear gas to send the farmers back to where they came from. Some injured farmers were taken to the hospital for treatment.

    The Haryana Police warned the farmers not to move forward, using a law that prevents large gatherings. The Ambala district administration has also banned groups of five or more people from assembling in the area. The farmers aim to pressure the government to give them a legal guarantee for the minimum support price for their crops. In a show of determination, some farmers tried to push down the metal barriers placed by the officers over a bridge by the Ghaggar River.

    Legendary Singers Announce Concerts in December, No Bollywood Guests!”

    Famous singers Anup Jalota, Shankar Mahadevan, and Hariharan are set to perform in concerts across several cities this December. However, they have decided not to include popular actors Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia in the show.

    These concerts, named “Triveni: Three Master Performers,” will take place in Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Indore. The focus of these events will be on showcasing the beautiful and rich music of India.

    A source revealed that when the event organizer, Manish Harishankar from MH Films, suggested adding Bollywood actors Nora and Tamannaah to the concert lineup, Anup, Shankar, and Hariharan firmly rejected the idea. They want to keep the concerts focused on the music, stating that adding an actress would change the concert’s true purpose.

    The trio believes that if there are guests, they should be other singers who understand and bring the magic of Indian music. Manish confirmed that he did reach out to the actors’ managers about performance schedules and costs.

    In other news, Tamannaah is currently in a movie called “Sikandar Ka Muqaddar,” alongside Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill. This film is a thrilling heist story about a diamond robbery and is streaming on Netflix, with its premiere on November 29.
