Students at the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) in Patiala initiated protests demanding the resignation of their Vice Chancellor, Professor Jayashankar Singh, due to allegations of inappropriate behavior and sexist remarks.

Dengue Surge: A Global Health Concern
The rise in dengue cases globally is alarming, with the World Health Organization noting a significant increase in reported infections over recent years. In 2024 alone, approximately 12 million cases have been logged by August, marking a stark contrast to previous years, and countries like Brazil are severely impacted.
