                      Summary of Today’s News<\/h2>\n

                      In SC, Centre defends appointment of new ECs<\/span><\/h3>\n
                        \n
                      1. The appointment of two new Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Gyanesh Kumar was criticised by opposition as hasty and opaque.<\/li>\n
                      2. The centre defended these appointments as a necessity arising from a constitutional duty to conduct the elections on time.<\/li>\n
                      3. The centre rejected any bias in these appointments.<\/li>\n
                      4. The petition was filed by Association for Democratic Reforms.<\/li>\n
                      5. The Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners Act, 2023 replaced the CJI with a cabinet minister in selection committee to appoint election commissioners.<\/li>\n
                      6. The centre said that the argument of the pleader has fundamental fallacy that the presence of a judge is the guarantee of the independence of the Election Commission.<\/li>\n
                      7. There are many authorities, offices where there is no judge but they are independent.<\/li>\n
                      8. The inclusion of the Chief Justice as a member of the selection panel was just a stop-gap arrangement, meant to last only till Parliament made a law on EC appointments.<\/li>\n
                      9. There was urgency to conduct world\u2019s biggest elections in time and only the chief election commissioner was over burdened.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Ferocious Breeds of Dogs<\/span><\/h3>\n

                        Pit Bull Terrier, Fila Brasileiro american bull dog Boerboel Kangal Central Asian Shepherd Dog<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. The relationship between dogs and their role in Indian society presents complex challenges. Street dogs pose a persistent issue, yet political action to control their numbers
                          \nremains lacking.<\/li>\n
                        2. Conversely, pet dogs have sparked concerns, leading to debates over the potential ferocity of certain breeds.<\/li>\n
                        3. An expert committee suggests banning breeds like Pit Bull Terriers due to attacks on people. However, the Karnataka High Court halted this decision, citing unilateralism.<\/li>\n
                        4. The temperament of dogs is influenced by various factors, not solely breed.<\/li>\n
                        5. While some countries have banned specific breeds, India’s focus should be on responsible ownership rather than breed restrictions, given its unique street dog population.<\/li>\n
                        6. Individual choice in pet ownership is important but not without limitations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Ties that epitomise India\u2019s neighbourhood first policy<\/span><\/h3>\n
                            \n
                          1. Despite vast differences in size and population between Bhutan and India, the two countries have cultivated a close partnership based on mutual respect and understanding over the
                            \npast 50 years.<\/li>\n
                          2. India has upheld Bhutanese identity and supported its economic growth, while Bhutan has trusted India to assist in its development without compromising sovereignty.<\/li>\n
                          3. Recent initiatives, such as the Gelephu Mindfulness City project, further solidify this bond, with India expected to play a significant role in its success. Regular high-level
                            \nvisits between leaders signify the importance placed on nurturing this relationship, in line with India’s Neighbourhood First policy.<\/li>\n
                          4. Looking ahead, India aims to contribute to the prosperity of Gelephu by facilitating direct flights, providing technology and expertise, and encouraging tourism and business
                            \nventures.<\/li>\n
                          5. The success of the Mindfulness City is anticipated to benefit not only Bhutan but also neighboring regions, exemplifying the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two
                            \nnations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
