Video: ₹50 Lakh Cash Discovered in Tyre in Jharkhand

In a significant cash seizure, officials from the Income Tax department discovered ₹50 lakh hidden inside a vehicle's spare tyre during a routine inspection at a checkpoint in Giridih district, Jharkhand, near the Bihar border. The incident, captured in a video showing officials extracting bundles of cash, has prompted an investigation into the money's origins and intended use. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey shared the footage on social media, accusing the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress of corruption aimed at influencing elections. This claim was echoed by BJP Jharkhand's state president Babulal Marandi, who alleged that the two parties are resorting to "money power" due to their anticipated electoral defeat. The cash recovery occurred just after the first phase of state polls, which saw a voter turnout of 64.86%, with the next phase scheduled for November 20. sources

Kidney and nerve cells can also form memories: Study

Researchers at New York University (NYU) have made a significant discovery that challenges the conventional understanding of memory, suggesting that memory formation occurs not only in brain cells but also in various other cells throughout the body. The study, published in *Nature Communications*, indicates that these non-brain cells can learn and remember by responding to chemical signals, similar to how brain cells process information. Lead author Nikolay V. Kukushkin highlights that this finding reflects the massed-spaced effect, where spaced repetition enhances retention. The implications of this research could transform treatments for memory-related disorders and enhance learning strategies by recognizing that memory functions may be a fundamental property of all cells. This discovery could lead to innovative approaches in healthcare, prompting a reevaluation of how different cells, including those in the pancreas and cancer cells, retain information about past experiences and treatments. sources

Farmers Time Crop-Burning Amid NASA Satellite Concerns, Scientist Says

North India is currently shrouded in severe smog, with air quality in the 'Severe' category across the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), including Delhi and surrounding regions. The spike in pollution is attributed to thermal inversion, which traps pollutants close to the ground, exacerbated by crop burning in Punjab and Haryana. NASA scientist Hiren Jethwa revealed that farmers are timing their burning activities to avoid detection by NASA satellites, often igniting fires in the late afternoon after satellite overpasses. While Punjab has reportedly reduced stubble burning by 71% compared to last year, satellite data indicates ongoing high levels of crop fires. Delhi's Air Quality Index peaked at 428, marking its worst reading of the season, while neighboring Pakistan faces similar pollution crises, prompting health warnings and restrictions on outdoor activities. UNICEF has called for urgent action to protect children's health in the region, where millions are exposed to toxic air. sources

Government Agency Investigates Ola Electric for Product Problems

India's consumer affairs secretary announced that the Bureau of Indian Standards will investigate Ola Electric following a significant rise in complaints regarding its e-scooters. The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) had previously issued a notice to the company after receiving around 10,000 complaints, prompting Ola to claim it had resolved 99.1% of these issues. Despite this, the CCPA's request for a detailed inquiry indicates ongoing concerns about service standards and product quality. Ola's founder, Bhavish Aggarwal, noted that many complaints were related to minor issues, such as loose parts and user unfamiliarity with the software. The scrutiny comes after a successful market debut in August, but Ola Electric's shares have since fallen approximately 7.6% from their initial listing price of 76 rupees, reflecting investor concerns amid regulatory challenges. sources

New Battle Emerges for Top Post After Maharashtra Polls

MUMBAI: The upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections are set to ignite a complex battle for the Chief Minister's position, regardless of whether the ruling Mahayuti or the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi emerges victorious. Key contenders include veteran leader Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar from the NCP, alongside Eknath Shinde of the Shiv Sena and former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis from the BJP. Fadnavis, previously reluctant to accept a subordinate role, is reportedly being backed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who emphasized faith in both Modi and Fadnavis at a recent rally. In the Opposition, Uddhav Thackeray's claim to the top post remains ambiguous, with Congress asserting that the party with the most MLAs will lead. Additionally, Pawar's daughter, Supriya Sule, could emerge as a potential candidate. Maharashtra votes on November 20, with results expected on November 23. sources

Rajasthan Candidate Hits Official, Aids Police Instead of Fleeing

Violence erupted in Rajasthan's Tonk district on Thursday following the arrest of former Congress leader Naresh Meena, who faces allegations of assaulting a district official during by-poll voting. Meena, an independent candidate for the Deoli-Uniara constituency, was apprehended after a chaotic scene involving stone-pelting and arson from his supporters, prompting police to respond with tear gas and a lathi charge. Following his arrest, clashes broke out on the Tonk-Sawai Madhopur highway, resulting in injuries to journalists and the vandalism of vehicles. The unrest stemmed from a widely circulated video showing Meena attacking Sub-Divisional Magistrate Amit Choudhary, leading to a statewide strike by government officials. Political tensions escalated, with accusations exchanged between the ruling BJP and Congress regarding Meena's actions and motives. Authorities have detained over 60 individuals linked to the violence, while investigations reveal Meena has a history of legal troubles, including multiple assault charges. sources
