What caused the postponement of the UKSSSC examination originally scheduled for 5 October 2025 in Uttarakhand?

The main accused, Khalid Malik, reportedly hid a mobile phone at the center and photographed the paper in the washroom.

The commission decided to strengthen security measures—including biometric verification, jammers in washrooms, and re-searches—before rescheduling. The postponement aimed to restore credibility in the recruitment process.

What is the primary reason the US Federal Reserve may face challenges in its upcoming policy decision on October 28–29, 2025?
Delayed release of key economic data due to government shutdownThe US government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, has halted the release of crucial economic indicators such as the monthly jobs report and retail sales data. These reports are essential for the Federal Reserve to assess labor market conditions and inflation trends. Without timely data, the Fed must rely on less comprehensive private-sector reports like those from ADP, which do not fully capture government employment or broader economic activity. This data gap complicates the Fed’s ability to make informed decisions on interest rates during a period of conflicting economic signals. The uncertainty could delay or misdirect monetary policy actions critical to stabilizing the economy.
