What was the reason cited by the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) for opposing the Sangai Festival in November 2025?
Organising the festival amid ethnic violence and displacement was 'highly insensitive'COCOMI, a Meitei group, called for a 'cease work' and led protests against the state government’s decision to hold the Sangai Festival during a time of ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur. The group argued that celebrating a tourism festival while thousands remained displaced due to violence showed a lack of empathy and social responsibility. Their opposition culminated in violent clashes with security forces in Imphal East district on November 22, 2025. The festival, intended to promote tourism, was perceived as tone-deaf by affected communities. This reflects the tension between cultural promotion and socio-political sensitivity in conflict-affected regions.

What major criticism did the Trinamool Congress (TMC) level against Union Home Minister Amit Shah in November 2025?
He failed to prevent the Pahalgam terror attack and the Delhi blastIn November 2025, senior TMC leaders including Shashi Panja and Sagarika Ghose strongly criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for alleged lapses in national security. They held him responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack and a blast in Delhi, arguing that these incidents demonstrated a failure in border and internal security management. The TMC accused Shah of deflecting from these failures by using 'infiltrator rhetoric' to target West Bengal. They also claimed that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was being misused to disenfranchise legitimate voters in Bengal. The party demanded Shah’s resignation, calling his leadership ineffective and politically motivated.

According to the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department, how many forest divisions still have bamboo forests as of November 2025?
30 out of 63As of November 2025, bamboo forests are present in only 30 out of Madhya Pradesh’s total 63 forest divisions. This represents a significant decline, with bamboo having disappeared entirely from eight divisions—including South Panna, South Sagar, and Dindori—over the past 15 years. The Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, VK Ambade, warned that this loss threatens wildlife corridors, soil stability, and entire micro-ecosystems that depend on bamboo thickets. Despite financial investment through the Bamboo Mission, farmers face market access issues, leading to economic distress. In response, Ambade has launched a revival plan involving 1.25 crore saplings and renewed focus on ecological restoration.

What is one key provision of the new Code on Wages under India’s consolidated Labour Codes?
Timely wage payment has been formalised as a legal rightThe Code on Wages, part of India’s new Labour Codes implemented to replace colonial-era laws, formalizes timely wage payment as a legal right. It mandates clear timelines for wage disbursement—daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—and requires all dues to be settled within two working days of resignation or termination. The Code also introduces a national floor wage tied to the cost of living and ensures that minimum wage laws apply to all employment types. Wage slips must be issued mandatorily to enhance transparency. These reforms aim to support Atmanirbhar Bharat by ensuring income stability, worker dignity, and predictable earnings across sectors, especially in MSMEs.

Why are some Bangladeshi nationals reportedly returning to Bangladesh from West Bengal in November 2025?
Fear of arrest or deportation due to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rollsIn November 2025, hundreds of Bangladeshi nationals residing illegally in West Bengal began returning to Bangladesh, driven by fear of exposure and deportation linked to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Many had acquired Aadhaar, voter, and ration cards, and benefited from state welfare schemes like 'Laxmir Bhandar.' However, with intensified scrutiny under SIR—described by BJP leaders as a 'purification' exercise—these individuals feared legal consequences. The Border Security Force (BSF) has been facilitating 'pushbacks' at border points like Hakimpur in North 24 Parganas. Reports indicate that people are choosing voluntary return to avoid detention or forceful removal, highlighting the real-world impact of electoral verification drives on undocumented migrants.
