    The Catch Up: 14 November

    This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 14th of November and here are the headlines. At a rally in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted Congress, accusing some of viewing the killer of Sambhaji Maharaj as a messiah. He questioned if such individuals were against Maharashtra’s pride and identity. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi responded, mocking BJP claims about his “red book” with blank pages. Gandhi defended his use of the book, while BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis alleged it was a tactic to gain support from urban Naxals and anarchists. Delhi's air quality reached hazardous levels, with an AQI of 423 at 11 am, prompting serious disruptions at Indira Gandhi Airport. 151 flights were delayed, and 282 departures faced delays averaging 45 minutes. Environment Minister Gopal Rai called for stricter enforcement of GRAP II measures to combat pollution. He noted an expected improvement in air quality due to rising wind speeds, as the capital continues to struggle with pollution-related issues affecting public health and daily operations. Rajasthan Police arrested Congress rebel Naresh Meena after violent clashes between his supporters and the police, leaving over 50 injured and 60 vehicles torched. Meena, who contested the Deoli-Uniara bypolls as an Independent, was filmed allegedly slapping the local SDM during voting. He claimed the SDM allowed fake voters at a polling station, prompting a standoff with police. Meena's actions sparked protests, and his arrest followed a night of tensions in Tonk district. The Argentinian delegation has withdrawn from COP29, reportedly on the orders of President Javier Milei. The move, just days into the conference, raised concerns about Argentina’s stance on climate action, especially given Milei’s ties with US President-elect Donald Trump. Speculation about Argentina’s potential exit from the Paris Agreement intensified, although no official confirmation was made. The decision marks a significant shift in the country's international climate policy as Milei consolidates power since taking office in November. Sri Lankans are voting in a crucial parliamentary election, pivotal for President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's government. Dissanayake’s September presidential win, marking a rejection of traditional parties, has fueled hopes for economic recovery. However, his failure to secure over 50% of the vote has raised doubts about his party's future success in the election. As the Marxist-leaning president seeks to solidify power, the results will determine his ability to implement economic reforms and navigate the island nation's political landscape. This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

    The Catch Up: 13 November

    This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 13th of November and here are the headlines. The Supreme Court ruled that demolishing properties without due process, based solely on allegations of crime, violates the rule of law. The court emphasized that executive authorities cannot act as judges, punishing individuals by demolishing their property. Such actions were deemed an overreach of authority. The court directed that specific procedures be followed before demolitions occur. The ruling came during a hearing on petitions challenging property demolitions by state authorities as punishment for alleged criminal involvement. The first phase of Jharkhand’s Assembly elections, covering 43 seats, recorded a voter turnout of 46.25% by 1 pm. The seats are in the tribal-dominated South Chotanagpur, northern Palamu, and Kolhan regions, with 20 reserved for Scheduled Tribes and six for Scheduled Castes. The Chatra and Simaria constituencies, located in a backward district, are also voting today. Bypolls are being held in several states, including Kerala, where Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi is making her electoral debut in Wayanad. In response to escalating violence in Manipur, the central government has deployed 20 additional companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) to the state. The forces, comprising around 2,000 personnel from CRPF and BSF, will be stationed until November 30 to maintain order. This follows recent clashes, including the killing of suspected militants in Jiribam and the continued disappearance of six individuals from the Meitei community, including three children, after the violence on Monday. The Pakistan government has instructed its cricket board not to accede to India's request to shift the 2025 Champions Trophy games to Dubai. The BCCI had asked for India's matches to be moved due to security concerns. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stated that, as the host, it will not relocate any games outside Pakistan. The ICC had informed the PCB about India’s decision, but the PCB maintains its stance on hosting the event in Pakistan. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza killed at least six people, including three young siblings, as the conflict in the region intensifies. In Lebanon, an Israeli strike on an apartment building near Beirut killed six and injured 15. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has decided not to restrict weapons transfers to Israel, citing limited progress in facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza. These actions come amid ongoing violence and international calls for increased humanitarian support for Gaza's civilians. This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

    The Catch Up: 12 November

    This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 12th of November and here are the headlines. On Tuesday morning, police recovered the bodies of two Meitei men from houses in Jiribam, Manipur, a day after security forces killed 10 suspected militants. Six people from a relief camp are missing after the gunfight on Monday. The clashes, involving armed Hmar militants and security forces, erupted after CRPF and Borobekra police stations were attacked. The militants reportedly targeted homes and shops in Meitei settlements earlier. The violence occurred near Pherzawl district, bordering Hmar-majority areas. Mumbai police arrested Faizan Khan, a lawyer from Raipur, on Tuesday for allegedly threatening Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Khan demanded Rs 50 lakh from Khan last week, and the arrest followed a failure to attend a summons from the police. The threat was made via a call on Tuesday, and police have yet to clarify the motive behind the threat. Faizan Khan, 42, is being transferred to Mumbai for further legal proceedings. On Monday, the Kerala government suspended two IAS officers, K Gopalakrishnan and N Prasanth, amid controversies. Gopalakrishnan faced backlash for a WhatsApp group called "Mallu Hindu Officers," while Prasanth stirred conflict by posting derogatory content against another senior officer. The suspensions followed recommendations by Chief Secretary Sarada Muraleedharan, with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan emphasizing that officials must adhere to proper norms and procedures. Minister K Rajan reaffirmed the government's stance on administrative conduct. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Monday night killed at least 14 people, including two children and a woman, in a humanitarian zone. One strike hit a makeshift cafeteria for displaced people in Muwasi, killing 11, including the children. Palestinian medical officials confirmed the deaths. This comes as Israel faces pressure from the Biden administration to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, with a deadline this week to comply or face possible restrictions on U.S. military funding. President-elect Donald Trump has selected South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, according to reports. Noem, a Republican leader with national recognition, is serving her second term after winning re-election in 2022. She became prominent for her stance against a statewide mask mandate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Noem's appointment marks a key decision in Trump’s cabinet selections as he prepares for his upcoming administration. This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

    The Catch Up: 11 November

    This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Niharika Nanda Today is the 11th of November and here are the headlines. Justice Sanjiv Khanna took oath as the 51st Chief Justice of India, succeeding Justice D Y Chandrachud. President Droupadi Murmu administered the oath of office to Justice Khanna during the ceremony held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Among the few judges who were elevated to the Supreme Court even before becoming the Chief Justice of any high court, Justice Khanna will super annuate in May 2025, after a tenure of a little over six months. He was part of several Constitution Bench rulings, including the one upholding the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution and striking down the 2018 electoral bonds scheme, among others. Over 2 lakh new beneficiaries above the age of 70 received cards under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana within the first week of Prime Minister Narendra Modi rolling out the expanded version of the flagship health insurance scheme to cover all elderly. According to data available till 7th of November with the National Health Authority, Kerala has registered the highest number of new beneficiaries under the extended version, with nearly 89,000 cards issued for the elderly. The data also shows that 32,000 additional beneficiaries above the age of 70 have re-registered to avail the cover of Rs 5 lakh provided in the extended version with no income limit. Over the last four years, the J-K administration has terminated 74 government employees under Article 311(2)(C) of the Constitution, which allows the government to act without seeking an explanation or holding an inquiry into their conduct. Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti has written to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, seeking an immediate review of the termination of government employees dismissed by the Jammu and Kashmir administration. Mufti demanding that the government set up a committee to review the termination cases wrote, quote “The abrupt dismissal of government employees without due process, a pattern that started since 2019, has left many families devastated and, in some cases, destitute.” unquote Meanwhile, Supreme Court instructed the Delhi Police Commissioner to establish a special cell to enforce the firecracker ban. The top court also said the police have not taken the ban in the national capital seriously and stated that “What the Delhi government did is a mere eyewash.” It added quote, "The right to live in a pollution-free atmosphere is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. We are of the view that no religion promotes any activity that promotes pollution or compromises with health of the people," unquote. The top court further asked the Delhi government to decide before 25th of November on a "perpetual" firecracker ban after consulting stakeholders. On the global front, The US President-elect Donald Trump held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and conveyed his intention not to escalate the Ukraine war, as President Joe Biden plans to lobby with Trump not isolate Ukraine in the war. A Reuters report said that Trump spoke with Putin in recent days. Earlier during the presidential campaign, Trump had criticised the scale at which the US military and financial aid was being provided to Kyiv. When asked about the Trump and Putin’s call, Ukraine’s foreign ministry stated that they weren’t aware of any advance call being made between them and declined to object or endorse it. This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
