4. UPSC tightens guidelines for appointment of State DGPs. Only police officers with at least six months of service left before retirement will be considered for appointment as the Director General of Police of a State, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) said in amended guidelines. Several States have appointed acting DGPs to avoid UPSC process.
5. National Highway Authority has set up a Dust and Control Management Center to control dust at the construction sites in view of a dip in air quality in the national capital, Delhi.
6. All government and private primary schools in Delhi will remain closed for the next two days in view of the rising pollution levels.

The 2.85-km Jawahar tunnel, also called the Banihal tunnel is a road tunnel at an elevation of 2,194 m in Jammu and Kashmir below the Banihal Pass in the Pir Panjal mountain range.

12. A Supreme Court judge, Justice P S Narasimha has voiced unhappiness at being repeatedly addressed as “My Lord” and “Your Lordships” by lawyers during judicial proceedings. “Why don’t you use ‘Sir’ instead,” Justice Narasimha said.
Lawyers, during arguments, invariably address judges as “My Lord” or “Your Lordships”. Those opposed to the practice often call it a colonial-era relic and a sign of slavery.
