India Extends Agniveer Service, Bombay HC Orders Dia Mirza Video Restoration, MP ResignsPreviousNext

The Indian government has extended the Agniveer scheme, allowing 75% of Agniveers to continue service for two additional years after their initial four-year tenure, with opportunities for permanent absorption. The Bombay High Court criticized political remarks against actor Dia Mirza's Diwali video promoting anti-pollution efforts, ordering its restoration. Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi resigned, citing dissatisfaction with party leadership. Coverage also noted US midterm election results and Iran's exemption of Indian ships from Hormuz restrictions.
