What incident caused the evacuation of Ramjas College and Deshbandhu College on December 4, 2025?
Bomb threat emailsOn December 4, 2025, both Ramjas College and Deshbandhu College received identical bomb threat emails claiming that three RDX-based IEDs had been planted to explode at 1:15 pm. The emails, allegedly sent by operatives linked to Pakistan’s ISI, triggered immediate evacuations and deployment of Delhi Police, bomb disposal squads, and dog teams.

The incident caused significant panic among students and staff before normalcy was restored.

Which court recently provided relief to the West Bengal government regarding the appointment of 32,000 primary school teachers?
Calcutta High CourtOn 04/12/2025, a Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court set aside a 2023 order by a single judge that had annulled the appointments of 32,000 primary school teachers recruited through the 2014 TET. The court reasoned that since corruption was not proven in all cases, it would be unjust to penalise all appointees after nine years of service. However, the court did not quash ongoing investigations by the CBI or Enforcement Directorate. This decision is significant as it provides political relief to Mamata Banerjee’s government in an election year, despite past arrests linked to the TET scam. The ruling acknowledged the hardship faced by teachers and their families due to the earlier blanket cancellation.
