Delhi confidential: All In A Day’s Work

AS THE entire government machinery celebrates Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, commemorating 75 years of Independence, the Union Public Service Commission has found a unique way. It has launched a toll-free helpline for aspirants from economically weaker sections, the disabled as well as those from SC/ST/OBC communities. The candidates facing any difficulty in filling up forms for any UPSC examination may call this number and get help. The UPSC says it is also a part of its endeavors of “undertaking such candidate’s friendly measures”.

In Netaji’s Memory

THE NETAJI Subhas Chandra Bose-INA Trust has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking to name a building or monument after the freedom fighter in the upcoming Central Vista revamp project. The trust made a list of 14 points to the PM. It said the response has been positive. Trust Chairman Brig R S Chhikara (retd) said Netaji could not get a “place of respect” in the national capital over the past decades as opposed to buildings named after former Prime Ministers.
