The Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) has declared an indefinite closure of all textile mills across the country effective February 1, citing crippling financial losses and the interim government’s alleged inaction in protecting domestic yarn producers.
“We will shut down no matter what. We do not have the capacity to repay bank loans,” Russell stated. He added that the industry’s capital base has been eroded by nearly 50%, and therefore, asset sales or even liquidation have become insufficient to cover outstanding debts. “Even if we sell off all our assets, it will not be possible to clear the debts,” he said.

UGC notifies regulations to check caste bias on campuses The final regulations have done away with a section on ‘false complaints’, which, along with provision for fine or disciplinary proceedings, was there in the draft. https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ugc…
There are some online arguments saying that UGC will be scrapped anyway, so the new caste bias regulations won't matter.
Do not buy such claims. After UGC is scrapped, each regulations will continue to be in force and operate.

Over the past decade, Jinping has consolidated all the military power in CMC and stuffed it with loyalists. Now even these loyalists are being thrown out.
Is it because they are opposing a war which Jinping wants or is it the other way around?
Managing the colossal PLA can't be done with this small CMC, that too full of yes men. #InternationalNews
