<p><strong>Delhi Election Schedule:</strong> The election bugle has been sounded in Delhi. Voting will take place on 5 February, and the results will be announced on 8 February.

<p>Delhi will have a single-phase election, with voting on 7 February and results declared on 8 February. This may be the last election overseen by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, who is set to retire on 18 February.</p>

<p>“A total of 3,08,942 names have been added and a total of 1,41,613 names have been deleted from the draft publication to the final publication. Therefore, there has been a net increase of 1,67,329 voters during this period,” the statement said.</p>

<p>Arvind Kejriwal&#8217;s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) created history by winning a resounding second term in the February 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, securing 62 seats. AAP&#8217;s scale of success left the BJP with only single-digit representation and prevented the Congress from winning any seats. Despite a determined campaign to regain power after two decades, the BJP made only a marginal improvement, increasing its seat count from 3 in the 2015 elections to 8.</p>

<p>Police said that the businessman filed a complaint at the police station late Monday night. However, the police have not disclosed the name of the businessman.

Bumrah&#39;s Fitness Questioned: &#39;Give Up India Dream If You Can&#39;t Bowl 20 Overs,&#39; Says Veteran


<p>Despite Jasprit Bumrah&#8217;s historic performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, his inability to bowl in the second innings of the Sydney Test match due to injury has drawn criticism from former Indian cricketer Balwinder Sandhu. Sandhu believes that bowling 15-20 overs in an innings at the highest level of cricket is not overly challenging.</p>



<p>He stated, &#8220;There&#8217;s talk about workload. How many overs did he bowl? Around 150 overs, but in how many matches or innings? Five matches or nine innings? That means 16 overs per innings or 30 overs per match. He bowled in multiple spells. Workload management is nonsense. It&#8217;s a term coined by the Australian team. I come from a time when cricketers listened to their bodies, not anyone else.&#8221;</p>



<p>He further added that bowling 15 overs in a day, even in different spells, is not a significant burden for bowlers. &#8220;You don&#8217;t bowl all five days of a Test match. They bowl in three or four spells within those overs. Today, you have good physios, good masseurs, excellent doctors who take care of your body. Despite this, if a bowler can&#8217;t even bowl 20 overs in an innings, he should forget about playing for India.&#8221;</p>



<p>He emphasised that representing India requires the ability to bowl at least 20 overs in an innings. &#8220;If you can&#8217;t do that, you should forget about playing for India and play T20 cricket, where you only have to bowl 4 overs, which are also bowled in three spells.&#8221; The former fast bowler recalled, &#8220;We used to bowl 20-30 overs a day. Kapil Dev bowled long spells throughout his career. When you bowl consistently, your muscles get stronger, so I don&#8217;t agree with the concept of workload management.&#8221;</p>



<p>In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Indian Jasprit Bumrah took a total of 32 wickets at an economy rate of 2.76 in 151.2 overs (908 balls). His best performance in an innings was 6/76. He took five-wicket hauls three times and four-wicket hauls twice in the series. Jasprit Bumrah was unable to bowl in the second innings of the Sydney Test match due to injury.</p>

<p><strong>Lead content in children’s food:</strong> The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set maximum limits for lead in baby food, including fruits and vegetables, yoghurt, and dry cereals. This is a significant step towards reducing the impact of this toxic metal on young children. Lead adversely affects children&#8217;s development and nervous system.</p>



<p>The FDA&#8217;s new guidelines state that this measure could reduce the amount of lead in children&#8217;s diets from processed baby food by 20% to 30%. However, these standards are voluntary and not legally binding on manufacturers. The FDA can, however, take legal action if the lead level in a product exceeds the set limit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lead content in children’s food: Industry and Consumer Reactions</h2>



<p>Consumer organisations have welcomed the move but deem it insufficient. Thomas Galligan, a scientist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, stated, “This FDA action is a positive step towards protecting children, but improvements are needed. The agency took too long to make a decision and ignored public suggestions.”</p>



<p>Brian Ronholm, director of food policy at Consumer Reports, described these standards as “almost meaningless” because they are based on industry feasibility, not health protection.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lead content in children’s food: Which products are not covered by the new rules?</h2>



<p>The new guidelines do not include cereal-based snacks for children under two years old, such as puffs and teething biscuits, which have been found to contain high lead levels. Furthermore, no limits have been set for other metals, such as cadmium, found in baby food.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lead content in children’s food: Health effects of lead</h2>



<p>According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is no safe level of lead for children. This metal damages the brain and nervous system and slows development. However, lead is naturally present in some foods and also enters the soil, water, and air due to pollution, making its complete elimination difficult.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FDA lead limits baby food: Limits and guidelines</h2>



<p>In the new guidelines, the FDA has set a lead limit of 10 parts per billion (PPB) for fruits, vegetables, cereal and meat mixtures, yoghurt, and pudding. For root vegetables and dry baby cereals, the limit is 20 PPB. These standards will apply to packaged baby food such as jars, pouches, tubs, and boxes.</p>

<p>These guidelines come at a time when over 560 children fell ill due to lead-contaminated apple-cinnamon puree between October 2023 and April 2024. That product contained 2,000 times more lead than the FDA&#8217;s set limit.</p>



<p>While the FDA&#8217;s move will improve baby food quality, consumer organisations and experts say stricter measures are needed to ensure children&#8217;s safety.</p>

<p><strong>CG Board Exam 2025:</strong> The Chhattisgarh Secondary Education Board in Raipur has released the timetable for the Class 10 board exams in 2025, but it has raised concerns among parents and educationists. Several educationists believe the timetable contains technical errors that could adversely affect the examinees.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CG Board Exam 2025: <strong>Demand for Gap between Important Subjects</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Patrika Campaign:</strong> A gap of only one day has been given between important subjects like Mathematics and English, which is insufficient for adequate preparation. Parent Sanskar Srivastava has sent a proposal to the Chief Minister, Education Minister, and other officials to revise the timetable.</p>



<p>He argues that there should be a longer gap between English and Mathematics exams to allow students sufficient time for revision and preparation. He has suggested that the English exam be held on 21 March and the Mathematics exam on 17 March. He has also demanded an increased gap between Social Science and Sanskrit exams.</p>

<p><strong>Raipur News:</strong> The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has lowered the cut-off marks for admission to postgraduate (PG) courses in medical colleges.</p>



<p>Admissions will now be offered to candidates scoring 15 percentile in the General and EWS categories, and 10 percentile in the ST, SC, and OBC categories. Following this reduction, the Medical Education Department postponed the third round of choice filling, scheduled for 6 January, for NEET PG-qualified students.</p>



<p>With the lowered cut-off, candidates scoring 10 to 15 percentile or more will be eligible for admission. Experts attribute this decision to unfilled seats in medical colleges across the country. Medical colleges in the state also have many vacant seats. After the second round, only 23 out of 41 allocated seats were filled at Nehru Medical College, 7 out of 10 at Balaji, and 10 out of 15 at RIMS.</p>



<p>At Nehru College, 54 out of 74 All India quota seats have been filled, while state quota seats remain vacant. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) office is conducting counselling for state, management, and NRI quota seats.</p>



<p>The state of Chhattisgarh has a total of 497 PG seats. This includes 316 state quota seats, 155 All India quota seats, and 26 NRI quota seats. Of these, 311 seats are in six government colleges and 186 in three private colleges. In government colleges, 156 are state quota seats and 155 are All India quota seats. In private colleges, admissions are to be given to 160 state and management quota seats out of the total 186 seats.</p>
