Speaker 1: of July, and here at today's headlines, starting with major
Speaker 1: news making national headlines. Two days after he resigned as
Speaker 1: Union Education Minister in the face of nationwide protests against

Speaker 1: Radi last year was struck down today by the Madras

Speaker 1: A division bench of justices CEV.
Speaker 2: Karthi, Kingan and R.
Speaker 1: Shaktival held that the states order granting jobs the families
Speaker 1: of the forty one victims was contrary to Articles fourteen
Speaker 1: and sixteen of the Constitution, which guarantee equality before law
Speaker 1: and equal opportunity in public employment. The judgment came less
Speaker 1: than three weeks after the same bench had allowed, which
Speaker 1: is Tameiligha Vedri Kurungam led governments to distribute appointment orders
Speaker 1: to the victims' families, but only on a temporary basis and.
Speaker 2: Subject to judicial review.

Speaker 1: before the recipients drew their first salary.
Speaker 2: In other ways, news as Muhammad.
Speaker 1: Ali Johar University stares at raising of thirty eight of
Speaker 1: its forty buildings over alleged irregularities. It is also one
Speaker 1: of the several official actions it is facing. Starting with
Speaker 1: a sho cause noticed by the Income Tax Department on
Speaker 1: seventeenth of June, The university has got notices from multiple

Speaker 1: which runs the university, for various violations.
Speaker 2: It ordered that the trust.
Speaker 1: Changed its status to association of persons, which would deprive
Speaker 1: it of tax benefits and in the end we take
Speaker 1: a look at the ongoing debate. On eight twenty feel,
Speaker 1: the government informed the Parliament today that no assessment has
Speaker 1: been done on the percentage of petrol vehicles in India
Speaker 1: that are fully compliant with E twenty few petrol blended
Speaker 1: with twenty percent ethanol. The information was provided by Minister
Speaker 1: of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas so THET GOPI
Speaker 1: in response to a question in the Raja Shabah. This
Speaker 1: comes amid a public backlash on ethanol blended petrol, GOPI
Speaker 1: said in a written response to a question in the
Speaker 1: Upper House. Quote, Ministry of Heavy Industries have informed that
Speaker 1: no such assessment has been done by them unquote. The
Speaker 1: Ministry of Heavy Industries is the nodal ministry for the
Speaker 1: automobile sector in India. The country achieved twenty percent ethanol
Speaker 1: blending in petrol last year and at present, the E
Speaker 1: twenty fuel eighty parts petrol and twenty parts ethanol is
Speaker 1: the standard petrol variant. Across the country. There has been
Speaker 1: a public backlash over the E twenty fuel, with claims
Speaker 1: ranging from notable reduction in mileage an engine component wear
Speaker 1: and tear in older vehicles whose engines were not designed.
Speaker 2: For high eightnol blends.
Speaker 1: According to auto industry insiders, petrol vehicles manufactured and sold
Speaker 1: after April twenty twenty three are considered fully E twenty
Speaker 1: compliant as this was mandated under the Barat State six
Speaker 1: Phase two emission noms. This means that all vehicles currently
Speaker 1: being sold by manufacturers are fully compliant with E twenty,
Speaker 1: but most vehicles that were sold prior to twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three are not. The permissable life of a petrol vehicle
Speaker 1: in the National Capital Region is fifteen years, which means
Speaker 1: that cars manufactured in twenty twenty two can be in
Speaker 1: use till twenty thirty seven as per the current knobs.
Speaker 1: And with that, this was all for today. This was
Speaker 1: the catch upon three Things by the Indian Express.
