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.

Published: Nov 15 2024, 3 ameznews.inNorth 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.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 1 ameznews.inIndia'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.

In response to escalating tensions, the UPPSC announced that the PCS prelims will now be held in a single shift, while a committee will explore how to conduct the RO/ARO exams.

Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has called for a swift resolution to prevent further agitation, emphasizing the need for officials to address students' concerns sensitively.
