The CommunistParty of India (Marxist) (CPIM) truncates its three-day district conference, which wasorganisedat Madikai panchayat in Kasaragod.
The CPI(M) went ahead to hold the conference on Friday, even as the district reported a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases. This drew huge criticism from various quarters.The decision of the District Collector Bhandari Swagat Ranveer Chand to revoke an order that imposed restrictions in view of the increasing COVID-19 case further added fuel to the fire.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
