Ahmedabad Introduces QR-Code Feedback for Street Food Vendors
Amdavad Municipal Corporation launched a QR-code-based feedback system for street food vendors in Ahmedabad, beginning with panipuri stalls. Under this initiative, customers can scan QR codes and rate vendors on important parameters such as food quality, hygiene, water safety, taste and service.
The system aims to improve accountability in the street food sector, where hygiene and water quality are major public health concerns. Vendors receiving poor ratings may face warnings, and repeated non-compliance can lead to penalties or sealing of stalls. This move combines public participation with digital governance and can become a model for improving urban food safety across Indian cities.
Indian Astronomers Discover Five New Millisecond Pulsars
Indian astronomers based in Pune discovered five new millisecond pulsars using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. These pulsars were found in the globular clusters Messier 69 and Messier 70.
Millisecond pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio signals. Their study helps scientists understand neutron stars, compact binary systems, gravitational physics and stellar evolution. The discovery highlights India’s growing capacity in radio astronomy and deep-space research.
IN-SPACe Opens LVM3 Rocket Manufacturing to Private Sector
IN-SPACe invited private Indian companies to manufacture and operate ISRO’s LVM3 rocket, India’s heaviest launch vehicle. LVM3 has already played an important role in major Indian space missions and has the capacity to carry heavy payloads into space.
This initiative is a major step in India’s space-sector reforms. It will increase private participation, strengthen commercial launch services and allow ISRO to focus more on advanced missions such as Gaganyaan, deep-space exploration and next-generation launch technologies. The move also supports India’s ambition to become a major player in the global space economy.
India Validates Indigenous HPV Test for Cervical Cancer Screening
India validated Truenat HR-HPV-Plus, an indigenous point-of-care HPV test developed by Molbio Diagnostics. The test detects high-risk Human Papillomavirus types associated with cervical cancer.
This development is significant because cervical cancer remains one of the major health challenges for women in India. A point-of-care test can support early diagnosis, especially in district hospitals, community health centres and rural healthcare facilities. Indigenous testing technology can also reduce dependence on expensive imported diagnostic systems.
India Clarifies Nepal Has Not Banned Indian Mangoes
India clarified that Nepal has not banned imports of Indian mangoes. Exports are continuing with phytosanitary certificates, while India is addressing Nepal’s new hot water treatment requirement through bilateral channels.
The issue is being discussed under international frameworks such as the World Trade Organization and the International Plant Protection Convention. The clarification is important because mango exports support farmers, traders and cross-border agricultural trade between India and Nepal.
Defence Ministry Signs ₹449-Crore Contract for Indigenous Navy Jammers
India’s Defence Ministry signed a ₹449-crore contract with Accord Software for the supply of 20 indigenous jammers to the Indian Navy. These jammers will help protect naval platforms from GNSS spoofing, deceptive jamming and satellite-based threats.
GNSS spoofing is a serious modern security threat where false satellite navigation signals are used to mislead ships, aircraft or military systems. The contract strengthens India’s maritime security and supports the Make-in-India initiative in defence technology.
Madhya Pradesh Withdraws Two-Child Norm for Government Jobs
Madhya Pradesh withdrew the two-child norm for government jobs in June 2026. The decision removes service restrictions for government job aspirants and employees who have more than two children.
However, the state clarified that dismissed workers will not receive retrospective reinstatement benefits. The move is significant from the perspective of employment rights, population policy and service rules.
