Egg Price Surge Hits Mid-Day Meals In Bengal, Anganwadi Workers Raise Alarm

Egg Price Surge Hits Mid-Day Meals In Bengal, Anganwadi Workers Raise Alarm

Mid-day meals in government schools of West Bengal may lack eggs due to the price hike, Anganwadi workers said. While the government allocation for each egg is only six and a half rupees, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide food with eggs in Anganwadi centres as the retail price of each egg has increased to Rs 8. As a result, Anganwadi workers and helpers have been vocal about increasing the government allocation for eggs. Members of the Independent Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Association have submitted a deputation to the officials of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) office in Mal Bazar of Jalpaiguri district, demanding that the price of eggs be fixed according to market price. They also demanded an increase in allocation for the nutritional development of mothers. On behalf of the organisation, Nabanita Majumder said on Thursday, "Although the market price of each egg is Rs 8, the government allocation is six and a half rupees. If the price of eggs keeps rising in the market, then how will we buy eggs for Mid-Day Meals? I have raised the issue with the officials." According to her, if the allocation is not increased, then it will be difficult to provide eggs in the Mid-day Meal. "Parents are complaining about not getting eggs at the Anganwadi centres. Anganwadi workers and helpers are facing problems," added Majumder. Regarding the deputation, ICDS Mal Bazar Block Officer Sayak Das told a section of reporters, "The price of eggs has increased in the market. The matter has been reported to the higher authorities. Today, a demand has been made for an increase in the allocation. The matter will be reported to the higher authorities again."

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: Is Exynos 2600 Finally Ready To Take On Snapdragon 8 Gen 5?

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: Is Exynos 2600 Finally Ready To Take On Snapdragon 8 Gen 5?

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: Samsung has teased its upcoming Exynos 2600 chipset, and the message feels very clear — Samsung wants to win trust again. The teaser did not show performance numbers, but Samsung said the chip is “refined at the core and optimised at every level.” The most interesting line in the teaser was, “In silence, we listened.”  According to South Korean outlet Chosun Biz, almost 90% of users prefer Snapdragon-powered Galaxy phones over Exynos because of performance and user experience. So it looks like Samsung knows the pressure. How Will Exynos 2600 & Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Co-Exist? Based on the Samsung Galaxy S26 leaks so far, the processor choice will depend heavily on the model and region. The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus will feature either the Exynos 2600 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, depending on where the phone is sold.  So in some markets, users will get the new Exynos, while others will get Snapdragon. This is why the improvement of Exynos 2600 has become a major talking point this year. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, however, is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 globally, just like previous years when the Ultra model targeted power users.  This again shows Samsung wants to keep its most premium device focused on guaranteed top-tier performance. Why Exynos 2600 Matters For User Experience The Samsung Galaxy S26 leaks make it very clear that the success of the series depends on the processor. Exynos has faced criticism for heating issues, battery drain, slower gaming, and inconsistent performance compared to Snapdragon.  That is why Samsung openly hinting that it has “listened” is a big moment. If Exynos 2600 really delivers faster speed, better battery backup, and smoother gaming, then the S26 lineup could become much more balanced worldwide. With the S26 launch expected in January 2026, the processor will be the star of the show. For now, all eyes are on whether Samsung’s new Exynos 2600 can finally match Snapdragon and change user opinion for good. If you are interested in more such leaks, we've got you covered! We keep a close eye on every latest Samsung Galaxy S26 leak, so stay tuned to know more.

Russia-India Relations: India-Russia to sign 25 Defence Deals, S-400 & -500 To Boost Strategic Deterrence

Russia-India Relations: India-Russia to sign 25 Defence Deals, S-400 & -500 To Boost Strategic Deterrence

 For the first time since the Russia-Ukraine war began, President Vladimir Putin will visit India. According to sources, the Russian President will arrive in Delhi at 6:40 PM on Thursday and will stay at ITC Maurya. Soon after landing, he will meet PM Narendra Modi at the Prime Minister’s residence for a private dinner. On December 5, India and Russia will hold a high-level bilateral meeting, after which President Putin is expected to depart for Russia the same night. India is likely to sign 25 major defence agreements with Russia. These include deals for the S-400 and S-500 missile systems, Sukhoi-30 fighter jets, and Sukhoi-57 stealth fighters. The S-500 has an estimated range of 500–600 km and can engage targets up to 180–200 km in altitude, with the capability to intercept drones and fighter aircraft. If India finalises the S-500 deal, it could significantly strengthen strategic deterrence, especially with regard to China. India is also discussing the pending delivery of two S-400 squadrons and the possible purchase of five additional squadrons. Technology transfer and joint production are key topics of negotiation during the visit. Meanwhile, security has been intensified across Delhi. A special five-layer security cordon has been established for President Putin’s arrival. The outer layer includes NSG teams and Delhi Police personnel, while the inner ring will be managed by the Russian Presidential Security Service and NSG. Additionally, top NSG commandos, snipers, drones, and AI-based surveillance systems will be deployed during the Modi-Putin meeting.

LIVE: 22K & 24K Gold Price In India Today (Dec 4) Per Gram

22K & 24K Gold Price Today: Gold prices slipped on Thursday, extending Wednesday’s decline as weak sentiment across equity markets spilled over into bullion. The retreat came ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting this week, with analysts split on whether a rate cut is imminent. The uncertainty dampened overall market momentum, offsetting the gains recorded earlier on Wednesday. Traders reported a fall in Gold Rates in India on Thursday, with Gold Prices in Delhi and other major metros reflecting the broader easing in the market. Earlier, gold had opened December on a strong note, with 22k and 24k prices rising across key Indian cities. The initial uptick was driven by supportive global cues, anticipation around forthcoming policy decisions, and steady domestic demand. According to traders, benchmark hubs such as Delhi and other metropolitan markets continued to track this upward trend in bullion. Market participants expect the current volatility to persist in the near term as attention shifts to several high-impact triggers, including key US economic data, an address by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and the RBI’s policy announcement later this week. Analysts note that despite Tuesday’s dip, gold could still move towards fresh highs depending on global monetary signals and the domestic market’s reading of central bank guidance. Gold Rates Across Major Cities In India On Dec 4 Gold Rate In Delhi Today The current gold rates in Delhi stand at Rs 13,051 per gram for 24-karat gold (commonly known as 999 gold) and Rs 11,965 per gram for 22-karat gold. Gold Rate In Chennai Today The current gold rates in Chennai stand at Rs 13,113 per gram for 24-karat gold (commonly known as 999 gold) and Rs 12,020 per gram for 22-karat gold. Gold Rate In Bengaluru Today The current gold rates in Bengaluru stand at Rs 13,036 per gram for 24-karat gold (commonly known as 999 gold) and Rs 11,950 per gram for 22-karat gold.

India Set For Faster Growth: Fitch Lifts FY26 GDP Forecast To 7.4% As Demand Booms

India Set For Faster Growth: Fitch Lifts FY26 GDP Forecast To 7.4% As Demand Booms

Driven by robust domestic demand and tax reforms, Fitch Ratings on Thursday revised India’s GDP growth forecast for FY26 to 7.4 per cent, from 6.9 per cent projected earlier. The global rating agency said that private consumer spending is the main driver of growth in the country this fiscal, “supported by strong real income dynamics, increased consumer sentiment, and the impact of recently implemented goods and services tax reforms”. For FY27, Fitch expects India’s growth to ease to 6.4 per cent with domestic demand remaining the key driver. According to the global rating agency, public investment growth is likely to moderate, while private investment should pick up in the second half of FY27. India’s real GDP growth surged by 8.2 per cent during the July-September quarter of 2025-26. According to Fitch, the growth comes despite India facing one of the highest effective tariff rates on its exports to the US of around 35 per cent, and an India-US trade deal would “boost external demand”. Fitch projects India inflation to average 1.5 per cent this fiscal. India’s consumer inflation fell to 0.3 per cent in October. The cooling inflation should allow the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) room for one more rate cut on December 5 to bring the policy rate to 5.25 per cent, it added. Fitch believes the RBI is at the end of its easing cycle and will keep rates steady over the next two years. The three-day MPC meeting comes at a time when inflation is at an all-time low and GDP growth on a high trajectory path. The global rating agency also expects the rupee to strengthen next year to around 87 per dollar. Fitch Ratings has also raised its world growth forecasts for 2025 moderately since the June Global Economic Outlook (GEO) on better-than-expected incoming data for Q2 2025. But there is now evidence of an underlying US slowdown in ‘hard’ economic data and positive surprises on eurozone growth have partly reflected US tariff front-running. Fitch still expects world GDP to slow significantly this year. (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

IndiGo Stock Falls To 5-Month Low After Crew Shortages Trigger Over 200 Flight Cancellations

IndiGo Stock Falls To 5-Month Low After Crew Shortages Trigger Over 200 Flight Cancellations

InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of IndiGo, saw its shares fall more than 3 per cent on Thursday as the airline continued to struggle with large-scale flight disruptions across the country. The stock dropped to Rs 5,405 in the morning, its lowest level in over five months, and extended its decline for the second straight session. IndiGo faced one of its biggest operational setbacks in recent years, with around 200 flights cancelled on Wednesday. The disruptions were mainly caused by a severe shortage of crew, particularly pilots, after the revised Flight Duty Time Limitation norms came into effect last month. The new rules require airlines to provide more rest hours and humane work schedules for crew members. IndiGo has been finding it difficult to quickly adjust its network to these changes. The impact spilled over to Thursday as well, with nearly 73 flights cancelled at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, adding to passenger inconvenience. Following the widespread cancellations, IndiGo issued an apology, acknowledging major disruptions across its network over the past two days. The airline said multiple unforeseen challenges -- including minor technical glitches, winter schedule adjustments, bad weather, increased air traffic congestion, and the rollout of updated crew rostering rules -- combined to create a situation that was difficult to anticipate. To stabilise operations, the airline said it has made calibrated schedule adjustments that will remain in place for the next 48 hours. IndiGo expects these measures to help restore normal operations and gradually recover punctuality. Meanwhile, aviation regulator DGCA has launched an investigation into the disruptions. The watchdog has asked IndiGo to submit a detailed report explaining the reasons behind the cancellations and its plan to reduce delays and minimise inconvenience for passengers. On Tuesday, IndiGo shares had already fallen around 2 per cent to close at Rs 5,595.50. The stock has slipped nearly 6 per cent in the past five days but remains more than 2 per cent higher over the last six months.

Oil Prices Edge Higher As Russia-Ukraine Tensions Escalate, Peace Efforts Falter

Oil Prices Edge Higher As Russia-Ukraine Tensions Escalate, Peace Efforts Falter

Global oil markets saw a mild uptick on Thursday, with prices edging higher after Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure renewed concerns about supply disruptions.  However, analysts noted that broader market fundamentals remain weak, keeping gains in check despite fresh geopolitical tensions. Brent crude climbed 24 cents, or 0.38 per cent, to $62.91 a barrel in early trading today, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 29 cents, or 0.49 per cent, to $59.24, reported Reuters. The modest rise followed a turbulent week dominated by conflicting signals, from tentative peace diplomacy to renewed military escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The latest trigger for the price bounce came after Ukraine targeted the Druzhba pipeline in Russia’s Tambov region, marking the fifth attack on this major conduit that carries Russian crude to Hungary and Slovakia.  A Ukrainian military intelligence source confirmed the strike on Wednesday. Despite the attack, both the pipeline operator and Hungary’s state-owned oil and gas company reported that flows were continuing normally. A Shift In Ukraine’s Drone Strategy Commodity analysis firm Kpler said Kyiv appears to have recalibrated its strategy, focusing on repeated, targeted hits designed to disrupt Russia’s refining capacity.  “Ukraine’s drone campaign against Russian refining infrastructure has shifted into a more sustained and strategically coordinated phase,” Kpler said. The repeated strikes have dented Russia’s refining throughput, which has averaged about 5 million barrels per day from September to November, representing a 335,000 bpd year‑on‑year decline. Gasoline output has suffered the most, while gasoil production has also weakened materially, the report noted. Peace Talks Hit A Wall Oil markets were also reacting to signs that peace negotiations are losing steam. Representatives of US President Donald Trump left discussions with the Kremlin without announcing any breakthrough on ending the conflict. Trump himself said it was unclear what the next steps would be, underscoring the fragile state of diplomatic efforts. “Crude will likely remain stuck in a narrow range while the Ukraine peace efforts grind on,” said Vandana Hari, founder of Vanda Insights. Earlier hopes for a ceasefire  contributed to downward pressure on prices, with traders anticipating that a deal would eventually unwind sanctions and release more Russian oil into an already oversupplied market. Even with renewed geopolitical risk, analysts warn that oversupply remains the dominant force shaping market direction. On Thursday, Fitch Ratings downgraded its oil price assumptions for 2025–2027, citing expectations that global output growth will continue to outpace demand. Traders are also watching for fresh cues on global economic conditions, refining activity, and inventory levels. While the latest strikes add an element of uncertainty, the broader sentiment remains subdued.

Celebrity-Inspired Bridal Makeup Looks For The Modern Indian Bride

(By Nirmala Tiwari)  For modern Indian brides, makeup is more than a ritual; it’s a reflection of their personality, mood, and individuality. Modern bridal makeup celebrates both glamour and authenticity, from the elegance of the red carpet to timeless simplicity. Be it a soft, radiant glow or a bold, statement look, one thing remains constant: feeling confident, comfortable, and effortlessly beautiful on this day.  ALSO READ: Serum-Skin Makeup: The Winter Beauty Trend That Gives You A Natural, Lit-From-Within Glow The Minimal And Dewy Glow  The minimalist bride embraces understated sophistication. This look begins with fresh, hydrated skin and a lightweight foundation that enhances rather than conceals. A touch of creamy concealer helps even out the tone, while subtle, earthy eyeshadows create soft definition. A fine line of eyeliner and a coat of mascara bring gentle focus to the eyes. The lips stay natural with peach, nude, or rose tones, and a hint of highlighter on the cheekbones gives that luminous, inner glow. Perfect for outdoor weddings or daytime ceremonies, this look enhances your natural charm without overpowering it.  The Bold And Glamorous Statement  Rich tones and sculpted definition make this glamorous style perfect for the bride wanting to make an entrance. It begins with a perfect, full-coverage base lightly set with powder for wear, then the centerpiece: eyes in smoky or metallic shadows seamlessly blended for depth. Thickness from eyeliner and volume in lashed-out lashes add drama, and defined brows with soft contouring for balance. The lips steal the show when finishing off with confidence and style in deep reds, plums, or berries. It goes great with evening celebrations and traditional ensembles.  Finding Your Perfect Look  Your bridal makeup is an extension of you and should reflect your personality, features, and skin tone. Contouring helps brides with softer features stay defined, while the naturally defined bone structures focus on luminosity. The fairer tones glow in peach or pink hues, the medium-toned complexions shine bright in rose gold and terracotta, and the deeper skin tones look absolutely stunning with rich metallics and bold lips.  But in the end, it is not about the trends; the most perfect bridal look would be one in which a bride walks into a new chapter, empowered and truly being herself.
