A case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered against two persons on charge of trying to abuse a second class student According to the police, the case was registered against music teacher Prakashan, 50, and Upajit, 18, a college student. Both are absconding.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
