A series of disturbing incidents from across India have once again raised serious concerns over governance, law and order, and public safety. In Bihar’s Nawada district, a viral video showing female students climbing school walls to enter an examination centre has sparked fresh allegations of mass cheating, putting claims of fair examinations under question. Meanwhile in Patna, chaos erupted during the Class 12 board exams after a student was denied entry due to an admit card mismatch, triggering protests, damage to official vehicles, and anger among parents over administrative negligence. In another Patna incident, a woman sub-inspector was suspended after CCTV footage showed her slapping a man during a dispute, raising questions about police conduct. Elsewhere, a shocking CCTV video from Kerala’s Kozhikode showed a three-year-old girl narrowly escaping a speeding bus, highlighting grave child safety concerns. Road rage and violence dominated other states as well. In Jodhpur, two cars collided near a police station, leading to a public brawl. In Noida, a man was dragged out of his car and brutally beaten in broad daylight. Maharashtra’s Sangli witnessed a speeding Innova mowing down pedestrians, injuring three. Uttarakhand’s Roorkee saw a deadly village clash involving firing, leaving one dead. Amid the grim news, fresh snowfall transformed Jammu and Kashmir’s Bhaderwah into a tourist hotspot, offering a rare moment of relief.
