Which village in Noida refrains from burning Ravana’s effigy on Dussehra and instead worships him as a local deity?
BisrakhBisrakh village in Noida does not burn Ravana’s effigy because locals believe it is his birthplace. They revere Ravana as the 'son of Bisrakh,' born to sage Vishrava, and worship him for his devotion to Lord Shiva and scholarly wisdom. The village celebrates Dussehra by preparing festive food and worshipping weapons but mourns Ravana’s death instead of celebrating it. A temple dedicated to Ravana, featuring carvings and a swayambhu Shivling, exists there. This unique tradition sets Bisrakh apart from the rest of the country during Dussehra.

What major policy change did the Delhi government announce regarding relief for Kashmiri migrant families on 03/10/2025?
Removal of the income ceiling for receiving reliefOn 03/10/2025, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the removal of the monthly income ceiling of ₹26,800 for Kashmiri migrant families to qualify for government relief.

Additionally, a Special Opportunity Scheme was introduced to update family records without penalties. This reform aims to simplify relief distribution and align Delhi’s policy with that of Jammu and Kashmir.
