The Hindu
Manager of the facility suspended for laxity in its upkeep
Ahead of the launch of the online reservation system at the Public Works Department’s (PWD) rest houses on Monday, Tourism Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas carried out a surprise inspection at the PWD rest house in the capital, pulling up the staff for laxity in its upkeep.
The manager of the facility was suspended following the Minister’s orders. The inspection was done to check whether the directives issued earlier to make the rest houses ready for the public have been carried out.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
