"No Paper Work": What's New In SIR 2.0

The Phase 2 of the nationwide rollout of the Special Intensive Revision or SIR of voter rolls would require no paperwork. The user-friendly format, sources said, has been among the tweaks made in the process because of the lessons from the SIR project in Bihar. While announcing the dates for the second phase of SIR this evening, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said within a month of filling out the enumeration form, if a voter's name doesn't match the old and new voter lists, they will only need to submit one of 12 documents - the 11 suggested during the Bihar SIR and now, Aadhaar. In contrast, voters in Bihar had to submit one of the 11 documents to prove eligibility along with their enumeration forms.  The CEC said approximately 60 to 70 per cent of voters' names have been identified during the mapping of the old and new voter lists.  Voters can also check their names themselves by visiting the Election Commission's website.   Only those whose names an...

Rs 28,17,41,29,408: How An Account Glitch Turned Lawyer Into A Billionaire

In Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district's quiet town of Dhamnod was buzzing with disbelief and laughter on Friday, when a local notary lawyer briefly became, at least on paper, a billionaire.

Vinod Dongle, a respected notary and private school owner, opened his demat account as usual, only to find a mind-boggling figure staring back at him Rs 2,817 crore. His account showed 1,312 shares of Harsil Agro Limited, each inexplicably priced at over Rs 2.14 crore per share. The total? A staggering Rs 28,17,41,29,408.

At first, Dongle couldn't believe his eyes. "For a few minutes," he said with a grin, "I thought my destiny had changed overnight. It felt like winning every lottery in the world."

But reality returned almost as quickly as his fortune had appeared. Within minutes, the error corrected itself, the prices reverted to normal, and Dongle's temporary billionaire status vanished into the digital ether.

Dongle himself has taken the incident in stride, calling it "a once-in-a-lifetime moment of digital magic."

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
