Every year on August 15, the Prime Minister of India hoists the national flag at the Red Fort. However, two Prime Ministers, Gulzarilal Nanda and Chandra Shekhar, never got the opportunity to perform this ceremony. Nanda served two short terms as acting PM in May 1964 and January 1966, neither of which spanned Independence Day. Chandra Shekhar took office in November 1990 but resigned by June 1991, missing the August 15 occasion. This summary explores the historical circumstances that led to these exceptions in Indian political history. https://gujarati.news18.com/photogallery/national-international/why-two-prime-ministers-never-addressed-nation-from-red-fort-on-independence-day-who-are-they-ym-2598739.html

Kottayam District Collector Chetan Kumar Meena has warned schools against concealing drug use among students. The directive comes after reports of schools expelling students to protect their reputation instead of reporting incidents. Recently, 34 cases were registered regarding students using THC-laced candies. The Collector instructed the Education Department to ensure all schools have complaint boxes and to report cases promptly. Additionally, joint police and excise raids will be intensified during the Onam season, with 24-hour control rooms established to curb illegal substance sales. https://www.madhyamam.com/kerala/local-news/kottayam/students-drug-use-action-against-schools-if-not-reported-1545846

Small fish like Anchovies and Spined Loach are delicate and often break during cooking. This guide provides five essential tips to cook them perfectly. Key advice includes gentle cleaning without knives, draining water completely before marinating for 20 minutes to ensure spices stick, and frying only on a well-heated pan without frequent flipping.
