This happens because the government heavily subsidizes fuel, using money from the country’s oil.</p><br><p>The low prices come from two big factors. First, Venezuela has huge oil reserves under the ground. Second, the government keeps prices very low at the pump as a way to make basics affordable for people. But this has side effects. The cheap fuel encourages people to drive more than they need, leading to more pollution and waste.</p><br><p>Subsidized prices also create problems like smuggling—people buy cheap fuel and sell it in other countries where prices are higher. This can cause shortages at home. Even though Venezuelans pay almost nothing for fuel, the government still struggles to maintain oil production. Many of the refineries and oil facilities are old and poorly maintained. Production has dropped over time, and international sanctions have made it even harder.</p><br><p>In short, while Venezuelans enjoy the world’s cheapest fuel thanks to subsidies and oil wealth, the system brings significant costs. It leads to wasteful use of resources, smuggling, and challenges in keeping up production and ref</p><p>ining.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Once a person shows symptoms, rabies is almost always fatal.</p><p>Street dogs often do not get proper vaccinations or care. This means they can carry and spread diseases more easily. If a street dog bites someone, there is a chance it could have rabies. Even a small bite or scratch can be risky. That is why it is important to stay away from unknown or stray dogs.</p><p>In many areas, large groups of street dogs can also become aggressive. They may bark, chase, or bite people, especially children or cyclists. Sometimes they fight among themselves, which can make them more dangerous and unpredictable.</p><p>To keep people safe, it is important to manage the street dog population. Vaccination and sterilization programs can help. People should also be taught how to behave around animals and what to do if bitten. Quick medical care after a dog bite can save lives. Being aware and careful around street dogs is the best way to prevent rabies and stay safe.</p>]]></content:encoded>

It could also cause problems if those countries did not allow smooth trade.</p><br><p>Second, jobs and businesses near the coast would not exist.

This rule comes in response to several incidents of minor fires and short‑circuits that occurred when passengers overcharged phones, laptops, or used improper adapters overnight.</p><p>By cutting power to these outlets at night, rail officials aim to reduce fire risk when most passengers are asleep and fires might go unnoticed until they become serious. This policy was first recommended in 2014, after a fire on the Bangalore–Nanded Express <span data-name="copyright" class="emoji" data-type="emoji">©</span>, and has since been enforced more strictly by the Railway Board across all zones. Western and Southern Railways began implementation in March of that year.</p><p>While some argue that installing better circuit breakers or upgrading electrical wiring would be a smarter long‑term solution, railways say those infrastructure updates take time and money. Turning off charging ports at night is a quick, cost‑effective interim fix to prioritize passenger safety.</p><p>If you're traveling overnight, it’s best to fully charge your devices beforehand or carry a portable power bank. That way, you're not left without power and can avoid relying on the station's charging facilities during restricted hours.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Her visa had expired, but she didn’t leave. Instead, she chose a simple, spiritual life close to nature. She cooked food using gas, bathed in waterfalls, and taught her children by herself. She also practiced meditation and worshipped using traditional Hindu rituals.</p><br><p>People living nearby noticed clothes hanging near the cave and informed the police. When they were found, the woman and her daughters appeared calm, healthy, and well cared for. She told the police they were happy living this way and didn’t need help.</p><br><p>However, authorities became concerned about the children’s safety and the woman’s immigration status. The family was moved to a safer place and later taken into official custody. Now, steps are being taken to send them back to their home country.</p><br><p>Many people are amazed by her story—a mother choosing to raise her children in the wild, far from the modern world.</p>]]></content:encoded>

This initiative, led by the Ministry of Railways, is aimed at increasing passenger safety and improving monitoring of onboard activities. The project will cover around 74,000 passenger coaches and 15,000 locomotives in a phased rollout.</p><br><p>Each passenger coach will be fitted with four dome-style cameras, placed at entry and exit points. These are meant to capture clear footage of shared spaces like corridors and doorways without invading the privacy of passengers in berths or restrooms. In locomotives, six high-resolution cameras will be installed to capture views from the front, rear, and sides of the engine. Additionally, the driver's cab will be equipped with cameras and microphones to monitor communication and control activities.</p><br><p>The cameras are designed to function effectively at high speeds and in low-light conditions. They meet national quality standards to ensure clear, reliable footage. The project also includes plans to integrate artificial intelligence and video analytics systems in the future. These tools will help detect suspicious activity automatically and improve emergency response times.</p><br><p>This surveillance upgrade is part of a broader modernization push by Indian Railways. It follows successful trials in several regions and aims to deter crime, increase accountability, and give passengers a greater sense of security during their journeys. By focusing only on shared spaces and avoiding private areas, the initiative also balances safety with individual privacy.</p>]]></content:encoded>

One asked why the engines had shut down, and the other replied that he hadn’t touched the switches. These fuel control levers are normally protected by mechanical locks to prevent accidental movement. They require a deliberate pull before they can be flipped, making it strange that both moved to CUTOFF at the same time.</p><br><p>The pilots quickly tried to fix the problem and returned the switches to the RUN position. However, at such low altitude and speed, the engines didn’t have enough time to restart. With no thrust, the plane lost lift and crashed into a nearby building.</p><br><p>The cause of the fuel switch movement is still under investigation. Authorities are considering whether it was human error, a mechanical fault, or a software issue. Until answers are found, checks on similar aircraft are underway.</p>]]></content:encoded>

This makes up around 3% of the country’s total power supply. These plants are located in different parts of the country.</p><p>The biggest one is Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu, with two large reactors. Kakrapar in Gujarat has four reactors, including two newer and more powerful ones. Rajasthan’s plant near Rawatbhata has eight reactors, making it the largest in terms of number. Tarapur in Maharashtra is one of the oldest, still running four reactors.</p><p>Other plants include those in Narora (Uttar Pradesh), Kalpakkam (Tamil Nadu), and Kaiga (Karnataka). Most of these use a type of reactor called PHWR, which uses heavy water to help with the nuclear reaction. Some use light water reactors, including imported designs from Russia.</p><p>India is also building more reactors. Eleven new units are under construction in places like Haryana and Tamil Nadu. The country plans to increase its nuclear power to meet rising electricity needs and reduce dependence on coal. By 2047, India aims to generate 100,000 megawatts of nuclear power, using both current and new types of reactors.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Bengaluru, many small shopkeepers and street vendors have started removing UPI QR codes from their shops. They are now putting up signs that say “No UPI, only cash.” This sudden change is causing confusion among regular customers who are used to paying digitally.</p><br><p>The reason for this move is that the tax department sent notices to many small traders. The department used UPI data to check how much money these shopkeepers were receiving. If a shopkeeper received more than ₹40 lakh in a year through UPI, they were asked to register for GST. Some were shocked because even small vendors like tea stall owners or vegetable sellers got these notices.</p><br><p>The shopkeepers say it’s unfair. Many of them mix personal and business payments in the same UPI account. So the total amount shown may not reflect their real business earnings. Some notices even demanded huge sums in taxes. This has made many small traders scared of using UPI at all.</p><br><p>To protest, traders planned strikes and even a citywide bandh. They want the government to listen to their concerns. Meanwhile, the government is trying to explain that not everyone has to pay tax and that they are just gathering information.</p><br><p>Still, the trust is shaken. Shopkeepers worry that using UPI may bring more trouble than benefit.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) is a landmark policy aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions by putting a price on carbon. Introduced under amendments to the Energy Conservation Act in 2022, the scheme creates a formal market for carbon credit certificates (CCCs), where one certificate equals one tonne of CO₂-equivalent reduction.</p><br><p>The CCTS operates on two parallel tracks. First, a mandatory compliance mechanism covers around nine industrial sectors — including steel, cement, aluminum, textiles, and petrochemicals — starting in financial year 2025–26. Each covered facility receives an emissions-intensity target (emissions per unit of output) over a three-year cycle. Those who exceed their targets can earn CCCs, while laggards must buy or surrender credits to meet requirements. Credits are issued by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) and traded on regulated power exchanges, with unlimited banking allowed.</p><br><p>Second, there’s a voluntary offset window open to non-obligated entities. Project developers, farmers, NGOs, and state governments can generate credits through activities like renewable energy, afforestation, mangrove restoration, green hydrogen, clean cooking, or agroforestry. These voluntary credits increase market liquidity and support broader climate goals.</p><br><p>The institutional framework involves the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Environment, BEE administration, grid registry, and CERC-regulated exchanges. This structured approach paves the way for India’s transition to a low-carbon economy, helping industries decarbonize cost-effectively, aligning with national climate commitments, and preparing for mechanisms like the EU’s carbon border tax.</p>]]></content:encoded>

One night, people noticed that the statue appeared to have glowing red eyes. Someone had climbed the statue and added small red LED lights, making it look as if Gandhi had laser eyes.</p><br><p>The glowing eyes quickly caught people’s attention. Photos spread across the internet, and many people joked about the strange sight. Some said it made Gandhi look like a superhero or even a villain from a comic book. The image of the peaceful leader with bright red eyes was both surprising and funny to many viewers.</p><br><p>Despite the eerie appearance, the lights didn’t harm the statue. They were easily removed, and there was no lasting damage. The city officials didn’t file any official reports since it was considered more of a harmless prank than serious vandalism.</p><br><p>The statue itself has stood in that spot since the 1980s and has seen a few acts of mischief over the years. But the glowing eyes incident stood out because of how much attention it got online. It became a memorable example of how public art can be the target of pranks, but also spark laughter and curiosity.</p>]]></content:encoded>

It connects India’s mainland to its northeastern states like Sikkim, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh.</p><br><p>This tiny stretch is surrounded by Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh — and very close to China. Because of its location, the Chicken Neck is extremely strategic. All the roads, railways, and supplies to the northeast pass through it. If anything were to block this area, the entire northeast could be cut off from the rest of India.</p><br><p>That’s why it’s more than just a line on the map. It’s a lifeline. The Indian Army keeps a strong watch on this region, and security is always tight. Any tension with neighboring countries makes the Chicken Neck a hot topic.</p><br><p>It might be small in size, but the Siliguri Corridor carries huge importance. It’s proof that sometimes, the most vital parts of a country are not the biggest — but the ones that hold everything together.</p>]]></content:encoded>

This shiny new coin wasn’t something you’d find in everyday change. It was a special issue, made to mark important events or honor great personalities.</p><br><p>Unlike regular coins that are used in markets and shops, these ₹100 coins are commemorative. That means they’re made in limited numbers and released by the government to celebrate something special — like the birth anniversary of a national hero or a major historical event. They are usually not meant for daily use, but they are technically legal tender.</p><br><p>These coins are made with extra care. They often have beautiful designs, inscriptions, and symbols. Collectors and history lovers are especially excited by them. Even though the coin has ₹100 written on it, you won’t see it in your wallet or at the grocery store.</p><br><p>The real value of these coins lies in their meaning and rarity. They are sold through official channels like mints or special events. So while it’s a ₹100 coin, it’s really more about history than spending. It’s a small metal tribute to something big and meaningful in India’s story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

He lived alone and had little contact with anyone. Police suspect he may have died of natural causes, possibly unnoticed due to isolation. There were no signs of forced entry or violence.</p><br><p>A forensic team collected evidence, and the remains were sent for further examination.

For 10 hours, all the competitors had to solve a complex puzzle involving robot pathfinding on a grid. The goal was to find the smartest and most efficient path to collect points. Psyho stayed focused and worked hard the entire time, sleeping very little in the days leading up to the event.</p><br><p>In the end, Psyho beat the AI model by a small margin. He scored slightly more than the AI and came out as the winner. After the competition, he said it had pushed him to his limits, but he was happy that a human still came out on top.</p><br><p>The result surprised many.

Starlink uses satellites to provide high-speed internet, even in remote areas where regular mobile networks can’t reach. This makes it a strong competitor, especially in rural parts of India.</p><br><p>Jio and Airtel had asked the government to auction satellite spectrum, just like 5G spectrum. They believed everyone should pay the same way to keep things fair. But the government chose to give Starlink and other satellite companies the spectrum through direct allocation, not auctions. This allowed Starlink to enter the market faster and with fewer costs.</p><br><p>Now, Jio and Airtel are worried. They have spent billions on building towers and buying spectrum for their 4G and 5G services. Starlink, on the other hand, pays only a small 4% fee on its revenue, which is much less than what Indian telecom companies pay. Airtel and Jio say this is unfair and could hurt their business.</p><br><p>Even though they see Starlink as a competitor, both Airtel and Jio have also signed deals to work with it in some areas. Still, they are asking the government to rethink the rules so all players follow the same system.</p><br><p>The situation shows how quickly technology is changing the internet market in India.</p>]]></content:encoded>
