The Army has decided that brigadiers and above rank officers will have a common uniform from August 1 irrespective of their parent cadre and appointment.

The decision was taken after detailed deliberations during the recently concluded Army Commanders Conference and extensive consultations with all stakeholders.

A group of citizens and organisations have claimed that communal and "hate-spewing" speeches were made at a conclave organised by a right-wing outfit in Maharashtra's Thane district last month. They lodged a police complaint seeking action against the leaders who made the incendiary speeches.

A memorandum dated May 5 was submitted by the group to the Thane police commissioner over the event organised by the Sakal Hindu Samaj on April 30.

Condemning the ban on "The Kerala Story", the Producers Guild of India  has said no one other than the Central Board of Film Certification has the right to decide whether or not a film should be released.

The guild issued a statement a day after the West Bengal government ordered an immediate ban on the screening of the controversial film in the state to avoid "any incident of hatred and violence".

Multiplexes across Tamil Nadu have also cancelled screenings of the controversial film from May 7 , citing law and order issues and poor public response.

Directed by Sudipto Sen, "The Kerala Story" depicts how women from Kerala were forced to convert to Islam and recruited by the terror group Islamic State (IS). The film, which was released on May 5, has kicked up a political storm.

The guild, currently headed by Shibasish Sarkar which has around 150 production banners as members, also urged authorities to take note of this trend of films being "denied their right" to smooth exhibition across the country.

On May 9  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the government will make "The Kerala Story" tax-free in the state. Last week, the Madhya Pradesh government gave tax-free status to the film.

The Supreme Court will hear on May 15 a plea against the Kerala High Court order refusing to stay the release of the film "The Kerala Story".

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the Ministry of Railways have jointly signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan International Cooperation Agency for ‘Station Area Development along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (Project-SMART).

The Centre  has assured the Supreme Court that the Enforcement Directorate’s director Sanjay Kumar Mishra would not get a further extension in service beyond November.

Public functionaries should not make statements on sub-judice matters,” the Supreme Court remarked while taking serious exception to the political statements being made on sub-judice matters related to the withdrawal of the 4 % Muslim quota in Karnataka.
