Good morning,
🚨 *The Big Story*
Days before the extended tenure of Enforcement Directorate (ED) Director Sanjay Kumar Mishra is scheduled to end, the Centre has brought in ordinances to extend the tenures of the chiefs of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED for up to five years. The ordinance now opens the door for a further extension of Mishra's tenure even as the Supreme Court had asked the government not to extend it any further.
https://www.inexp.in/5DNCZh
Meanwhile, the Opposition questioned the motive and intentions behind the government’s “tearing hurry” to promulgate an ordinance to ensure that Directors of the ED and CBI could have longer tenures, given that Parliament is scheduled to meet later this month.

A visit to the National Museum in the capital feels decidedly different this festive season. India’s largest museum has quietly leaped to the age of immersive digital technology — a first in the country. Now, visitors don’t just have to view an inscription of a prehistoric cave, read about it on a display and move on to the next object. They get a 270-degree digitally-projected experience of actually being in that cave as well as learning about that era, thanks to an augmented reality projection system.

What was once a grazing land has now become the breeding ground for some of India’s most talented hockey players. In 2004, while travelling to Sonepat, former India captain Pritam Rani Siwach spotted a parcel of unkempt land large enough to play hockey. For a player who was rated highly for her leadership qualities and game intelligence, coaching seemed to be a logical step. On Saturday, 17 years later, Siwach, who had earlier won an Arjuna Award, received the prestigious Dronacharya Award, making her one of the few recipients of the National Sports Award as both a player and now a coach.
