    • SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES
  1. Polity and Governance – Government increases poll spend ceiling by ten per cent – The Law Ministry has increased the ceiling on poll expenditure for Assembly and Lok Sabha elections by 10%. The move follows a recommendation by the Election Commission in view of curbs imposed during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This will help candidates contesting the Bihar Assembly polls and bypolls to 59 Assembly seats across 11 States and one LS seat. The ceiling on poll expenditure varies across States, with candidates in Assembly elections in bigger States like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu now allowed to spend up to ₹30.8 lakhs as against ₹28 lakhs earlier. For a candidate contesting a Lok Sabha poll in these States, the revised ceiling on poll expenditure is now ₹77 lakh instead of the earlier amount of ₹70 lakh.
  2. Economy – FDI blooms in COVID-19 gloom – Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into India in the first five months of 2020-21 have hit a record high, despite a sharp 60% contraction in the first quarter, with July and August raking in over $20 billion of equity FDI. Total FDI inflows surged from $11.51 billion between April and June to $35.73 billion by the end of August. Equity FDI more than quadrupled from $6.5 billion between April and June to $27.1 billion by August — 16% higher than that of the first five months of 2019-20. To put that in context, India received about $50 billion in equity FDI in 2019-20. The increased FDI is a result of FDI policy reforms, investment facilitation and ease of doing business. Total FDI flows include fresh equity investments as well as re-invested earnings of foreign investors and other forms of investment capital, such as debt.
  3. Polity and Governance – Punjab formally rejects farm laws – Punjab became the first State to formally reject the Centre’s three recent agriculture sector laws, with its Assembly unanimously passing three Bills to negate the Union legislation. The Assembly passed a resolution rejecting the Central legislation and the proposed Electricity Amendment Bill and demanding their immediate annulment. It also sought an ordinance to protect the minimum support price (MSP) regime and ensure the continuance of procurement by the Centre. The three State Bills provide for imprisonment of not less than three years and fines for sale-purchase of wheat or paddy under a farming agreement below the MSP, besides prevention of hoarding and black-marketing of agricultural produce, among other things. The provision of punishment for sale-purchase below the MSP has been incorporated in The Farmers’ (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services (Special Provisions and Punjab Amendment) Bill, 2020.
  4. Social – Don’t let negligence ruin festive happiness, says PM – Citing a second wave of infections in other countries, PM Modi exhorted people not to rush to the conclusion that the battle against the virus had been won and lower guard until they have been vaccinated. The address, his seventh on Covid -19 since imposition of the lockdown in March, appeared to have been prompted by widespread concern over growing complacency because of the steady slide in the number of infections and fatalities and the fear that this might lead people to abandon caution altogether in the festival season. Modi talked about efforts to develop a vaccine on a “war footing”, and said the government was working on a plan to ensure that the vaccine was speedily delivered to each citizen but emphasised that masks, hand hygiene and physical distancing were the only defence against the virus until the vaccine became available.
  5. Covid-19 Updates – At 310/m, India’s cases among fewest globally – Even as many countries are witnessing a second wave of Covid-19 with the number of infected cases rising rapidly, India recorded 310 cases a day per million people in the last seven days, which is among the lowest globally. The global average was 315 cases per million in the last week, whereas Brazil and Russia reported 665 and 706 respectively. Along with India, Brazil and Russia are among the high caseload nations. Among countries that are witnessing second surges, France recorded 2,457 cases, the US had 1,153 and Spain registered 936 cases per million population in the last seven days. Similarly, India recorded 83 deaths per million in the same period, which is also among the lowest globally.
  6. Society – 33% rise in deaths due to cell use while driving – According to data released by the road transport ministry, nearly 30% of the total 1.51 lakh deaths in road crashes in 2019 were due to non-wearing of helmets and another 16% of fatalities were on account of not wearing seatbelts. The fatalities in road crashes caused due to use of mobile phones while driving increased by nearly 33% last year as compared to 2018. The report on road accidents shows that out of the 56,136 two-wheeler riders who were killed last year, 44,666 of were found riding without helmets. Two-third of such victims without helmets were drivers. UP topped the list of states in this category registering 7,069 deaths, followed by Maharashtra (5,328) and MP (3,813).
  7. Science and Technology – US Justice department files landmark antitrust case against Google –  It could just be an opening salvo. Other major tech companies including Apple, Amazon and Facebook are under investigation at both the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission. Lawmakers and consumer advocates have long accused Google of abusing its dominance in online search and advertising. The case filed in federal court in Washington, DC, alleges that Google uses billions of dollars collected from advertisers to pay phone manufacturers to ensure Google is the default search engine on browsers.
  8. India and its neighborhood – Sharif’s daughter booked for holding anti-govt. rally – Former PM Sharif’s daughter and Opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s VP, Maryam Nawaz, was booked along with more than 2,000 party members for holding an anti-government rally in Lahore. The rally by the 11-member Opposition alliance Pakistan Democratic Movement was held here on October 16 before the Gujranwala public meeting. Ms. Maryam had openly called Prime Minister Imran Khan a “coward, selected and puppet” in the rally, saying he hid behind the Army to cover up his nalaaiki (bad governance). She dared the “selected” Prime Minister to arrest her as she is not afraid of going to jail.
  9. World – Thailand shuts down news site linked to ex-PM – A Thai news outlet connected to exiled former premier Thaksin Shinawatra was ordered to close over its coverage of anti-government protests that have rocked the capital for nearly a week. Voice TV, a website partly owned by Mr. Thaksin’s family, was one of four media organisations under investigation. Thousands of protesters have massed daily in the capital since last week, flouting an emergency edict prohibiting gatherings of more than four people. The largely leaderless youth movement is calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha — a former army chief and mastermind of a 2014 coup — as well as a re-writing of the military-drafted Constitution they say rigged last year’s election in his favour. They are also calling for the reform of the kingdom’s powerful and ultra-wealthy monarchy.
  10. Economy  – Government pushes strategic PSU sales, four companies may net ₹49k cr – The department of investment and public asset management (Dipam) is ready to push ahead with the strategic sale of several public sector companies with bids and expressions of interest (EoIs) for oil marketing company BPCL, Shipping Corporation, Concor and BEML planned next month. These four companies can help the government realise close to Rs 49,000 crore, based on current market value of their shares.
