On 5 November 2026, two major developments dominated India's news cycle. First, the Delhi government unveiled a four‑month winter action plan to combat the capital's recurring toxic air pollution, but experts warned the measures fall short of what is needed to bring air quality to safe levels. Second, Bollywood's most expensive film to date, 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' (Part 1 of a two‑part epic), hit theatres, drawing polarized reviews from critics and audiences alike. Both stories have significant implications for governance, public health, environment, and culture — key areas for competitive exams.
