How are non-KA registered bikes being allowed for commercial bike taxi rides in Bengaluru?
Seeing so many OD, TN, MH and other state plates on Rapido, Ola & Uber daily.
Isn’t this against RTO rules? Please clarify.

A serious indictment after months of inquiry. Lok Sabha probe panel has found Justice Yashwant Varma guilty in the cash-at-home case.
All three charges against him stand proved.
The report was tabled in Parliament today.
It stems from the March 2025 fire at his official Delhi residence, where large amounts of burnt and half-burnt ₹500 notes were found in a storeroom.
The panel said his explanations were evasive and lacked transparency.

Karnataka just dropped a massive ban
No more sale or distribution of tobacco and nicotine products across the entire state
Gutkha, pan masala, everything with tobacco or nicotine is off the shelves for one full year
Notification came on Aug 10 and the crackdown has already started
Public health is the official reason but this feels bigger than that

US Senate just pushed a big Russia sanctions bill forward.
86-12 vote on the first procedural step.
The bill lets the US slap up to 100% tariffs on the top buyers of Russian oil and gas.
India is on that list. China too.
It’s still a long way from becoming law needs more Senate votes and then the House but the intent is clear.
They’re trying to squeeze countries that keep buying Russian energy.
Big relief coming for new car owners 🚙
The Centre has proposed making Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates valid for 3 years for BS-VI private vehicles up to 6 years old.
Currently it’s just 1 year.
Older vehicles will still need more frequent checks, annual or every six months depending on age.
The idea is simple for cleaner BS-VI vehicles get longer validity, while older and more polluting ones face tighter scrutiny.
Still a draft proposal, but a clear shift if it goes through.
Cursor is treating India as a high-growth, high-engagement market rather than just another geography.
The strategy combines:
• Aggressive localization of pricing and payments
• Product tiering that encourages everyday use while protecting the premium tier
• Community events and local hiring to deepen presence
• Leveraging India’s large, ambitious developer talent pool
This is Cursor’s first country-specific plan, and the company has indicated it will learn from India before potentially expanding similar localized offerings to other markets.
₹649 a month. UPI payments. Built only for India.
Cursor just dropped its first country-specific plan.
Cursor Start gives developers access to Grok 4.5, Composer, higher agent limits, cloud agents and iOS support.
India is already their third-largest market with over 3 million users and the highest power-user density.
This is Cursor going hard after Indian developers.
🚨 Young workers face the highest AI displacement risk.
According to Anthropic’s latest labor market report, the risk score stands at 0.62 for those aged 18-24.
It drops steadily with age — mid-career workers at 0.48, and older workers (55+) at just 0.05.
There’s also a clear gap between what AI could theoretically cover in jobs and what’s actually being used so far.
Knowledge-heavy roles in management, finance, computer work, legal and education show high theoretical exposure, while hands-on jobs remain far less affected for now.
The data raises important questions about who gets hit first as AI adoption grows.

Absolute dominance from the Manipuri star.

🚨 Pakistan has deployed over 2,100 security personnel in PoJK ahead of the polls.
The Awami Committee is already claiming foul play in the first round of voting.
Heavy force presence and early allegations of irregularities are setting the tone for these elections.
The region has seen weeks of protests and crackdowns leading up to this.

FDA just approved a breakthrough cholesterol pill.
Lipfendra (enlicitide) cuts “bad” LDL by nearly 60% and is the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor.
Until now these powerful drugs only came as injections.
In India, patients currently rely on statins (widely made by Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy’s, Lupin, Cipla etc.) and ezetimibe combinations.
Injectable PCSK9 options like Repatha (Amgen) and Sybrava/Leqvio (Novartis) are available but expensive and need regular shots.
This new once-a-day pill is not available in India yet. It will need CDSCO approval before it can reach the market.
A big potential shift if and when it arrives.
