TEHRAN: Hairstyles of a spiky and
unorthodox nature have reportedly
been banned in Iran because they
imply devil-worship, while tattoos
and other male bodily adornments
also being outlawed. Jagged haircuts have become fashionable among all strata of Iran's youthful population in recent years, but have divided opinion and been deemed by the authorities as western and un-Islamic.

AHMEDABAD: Sunday proved to be
an exception, nationally, on the
Central Pollution Control Board
(CPCB) daily air quality index (AQI)
list. Ahmedabad displaced Delhi in
the rank to become the second city
with a poor ambient air quality in
the country.
The AQI index defined the city's air
quality to be "very poor" along with
Faridabad. The AQI score for
Ahmedabad was 304, while that of
Faridabad was 341. Delhi on the
other had an AQI score of 259 and
was rated "poor" by CPCB. Since the
last two days the CPCB has been
releasing a daily air quality bulletin
for 11 cities across the country.
The AQI is decided on ambient
concentration values of air
pollutants and their likely health
impacts which are commonly called
health break points. The pollution
parameters whose concentration is
measured in ambient air include
particulate matter that are of size
2.5 microns (PM 2.5), PM 10,
nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide,
carbon monoxide, ozone, ammonia
and lead. The pollution parameter is
measured over a period of 24 hours
and the data is revealed by the
CPCB the following day.

NEW DELHI: Children of past and
present members of Parliament and
state legislators should not be
eligible for OBC reservations, the
National Commission for Backward
Classes (NCBC) has recommended.
The OBC panel has argued that
election to "high offices" like
Parliament and state legislatures
shows that the said individuals have
achieved "social elevation" and
"should logically come within the
category of creamy layer".
The unambiguous verdict comes in
response to an outpouring of
complaints that children of elected
representatives are getting "non-
creamy layer" certificates.
 
NEW DELHI: The NDA government on Tuesday belligerently upped its ante in the Supreme Court, defending the Parliament-enacted National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) to replace the collegium system for appointment of judges and said the Constitution never gave primacy to the CJI or judiciary in this matter.
