The three-judge committee will also examine justice Varma after perusing the evidence and information made available to it. «The objective is to ensure that the inquiry is completed without any undue delay.

PM Modi is set to inaugurate the new Pamban bridge, India’s first vertical sea bridge, in Tamil Nadu on April 6, coinciding with Ram Navami, a significant Hindu festival marking the birth of Lord Ram. The inauguration is expected soon after PM Modi returns from his two-day visit to Sri Lanka on April 4-5. Constructed at a cost of Rs 535 crore, this ambitious engineering project was executed by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL).

Columbia University over its handling of student protests against Israel's war in Gaza, much of the financial pain fell on researchers a train ride away from the school's campus, working on things like curing cancer and studying COVID-19's impact on children. The urgency of salvaging ongoing research projects at the university's labs and world-renowned medical center was one factor in Columbia's decision last week to bow to the Republican administration's unprecedented demands for changes in university policy as a condition of getting funding restored. The Ivy League university announced Friday that it would overhaul its student disciplinary process, ban protesters from wearing masks, bar demonstrations from academic buildings, adopt a new definition of antisemitism and put its Middle Eastern studies program under the supervision of a vice provost who would have a say over curriculum and hiring. The university's decision to accede to nearly all of the Trump administration's demands outraged some faculty members, who say Columbia has sacrificed academic freedom. The American Association of University Professors and the American Federation of Teachers, representing members of Columbia's faculty, filed a lawsuit Tuesday saying the funding revocation violated free speech laws. Scientific and medical researchers are appalled that their work was drawn into the debate to begin with.

Historically, returns from midcaps have tended to be lower compared with small-cap, but the risks of investing in this segment have also been lower.

bottom-of-the-pyramid borrowers have lost access to formal financing over the past nine months after lenders stiffened conditions for advancing funds to these customers and wrote down sticky loans to clean up their books. Industry experts said the number of such vulnerable borrowers could be even higher as lenders stopped financing customers with overdue loans of more than 60 days and those with an outstanding amount exceeding ₹3,000. «The reduction in the number of borrowers is definitely due to the fact that defaulters are not being financed at present,» said Jiji Mammen, executive director at Sa-Dhan, a self-regulator for the microfinance sector.

Experts now claim there’s a “golden hour” for bedtime that could significantly lower your risk of heart disease—and potentially help you live longer. A groundbreaking study published in the European Heart Journal investigated the link between sleep timing and heart health.

Using wrist monitors to track their sleep patterns, scientists found that people who fell asleep between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM had the lowest risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases. However, for those who typically fell asleep between 11:00 PM and midnight, the risk of heart disease increased by 12%, while those who went to bed past midnight saw their risk spike by 25%.

The Asian nation’s state-owned processors are on track to secure more than three dozen cargoes that will load next month, according to people familiar with the matter. Combined with deliveries for private refiners Reliance Industries Ltd. and Nayara Energy Ltd., there may be more than 60 shipments of discounted Russian crude in April, or almost 52 million barrels, the people said, declining to be identified as the transactions aren’t public. Flows between the nations had slipped in recent months as a transition period for tighter US sanctions on shipments from Russia came to an end, forcing the state-owned refiners to issue a slew of spot tenders that saw them buy more expensive oil from alternative producers. Traders have now lined up enough “clean” Russian cargoes — meaning shipments untouched by any US-sanctioned entity — for April to help the companies meet most of their spot demand and ease concerns over future supplies, the people said.
