Imphal: Protests over the granting of Scheduled Tribe status to the majority Meiti community in Manipur are intensifying. The conflict has resulted in a protest by the tribals regarding the granting of Scheduled Caste status.

Last week, the High Court ordered the Meiti community to be included in the tribal group. This is where the conflict begins. 53% of the population of Manipur, the Meiti community lives in the valleys of Manipur. The Meiti sect says it is facing difficulties due to large-scale illegal immigration by Myanmarese and Bangladeshis.

Curfew has been announced in eight districts of the state in the wake of intense tension in Imphal, Churachandpur and Kangpokpi areas yesterday. Internet services have also been banned in the state for the next 5 days.

New delhi: The official radio broadcast under Prasar Bharti will henceforth be known simply as ‘Akashavani’. An order was issued last day directing to completely avoid the title ‘All India Radio’ and use only Akashvani.

The official announcement of the director general of Akashvani in this regard was made on Wednesday. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has suggested that Prasar Bharti’s radio division be called Aakashvani.

All future broadcasts and programs of the organization, which has been operating in India since British times, will be presented under the Aakashvani brand.

In 1936, the country’s official radio broadcast was named All India Radio. Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore coined the word Akashvani for the first time in 1939. Later, in 1956, radio broadcasting was given the name Aakashvani. At the same time, the name All India Radio continued.

The current order states that the name Akashvani should be used instead of All India Radio in all radio programs and official communications.

Experts consider this as a sign that the covid has passed from the pandemic stage to the endemic stage. Hospital admissions are also seen to be less in the new wave.

New Delhi: An Indian to head the World Bank.  Ajay Banga, businessman and former CEO of MasterCard, will be the next president of the World Bank.  The World Bank confirmed that Ajay Banga was elected as its president on Wednesday.  This is the first time that a person of Indian origin has reached the head of the World Bank.

 The decision was taken by the 25-member executive board that met on Wednesday.  The selection came after World Bank board members held a four-hour interview with Banga on Monday.  He was elected unopposed.  The term is five years.  He will take charge on June 2.  The 63-year-old Banga was nominated as the president of the World Bank by US President Joe Biden.

New Delhi: It is estimated that domestic air ticket prices in the country are likely to increase further in the event that Go First, which operated low-cost air services, is canceling its services for consecutive days and preparing for a bankruptcy petition.

The reason for this is the seat shortage that occurs when an airline company moves out of the field.

Tay, an association of travel agents, said that Go First is bad news for the entire aviation sector. Due to the Kingfisher crisis, the region has lost crores of rupees. Thai President Jyoti Mayal said that the same situation is going to repeat itself.
