Vijay felicitated Praggnanandhaa with cheque of ₹50 lakh days after the 20-year-old from Tamil Nadu became the first Indian to win the Norway Chess title. 

 Sukhendu Sekhar Ray, a leader of the Trinamool Congress, has stepped down from the Rajya Sabha and announced his exit from the party.  

 Vijay’s absence has raised eyebrows because the Congress, a key INDIA bloc constituent, is now a partner in the TVK-led government in Tamil Nadu. 

 Suraj Hegde, who was the former in-charge of the Indian Youth Congress, was the grandson of former Chief Minister Devaraj Urs. 

 According to the ministry, the equivalent price of a 14.2kg LPG cylinder is ₹1,046 in Pakistan, ₹1,225 in Bangladesh, ₹1,755 in the US, ₹1,765 in Australia and ₹2,411 in Canada.
