Cabinet rank for Misra and Mishra
sually, those appointed to the two posts are given Cabinet secretary rank.Earlier, national security adviser Ajit Doval was given an extension along with an upgrade from minister of state rank to cabinet rank. In 2014, one of the first decisions the Modi government had taken was to promulgate an ordinance to amend the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act to pave the way for Misra's appointment. The Trai Act had barred anyone who had served as its chairman or member from being employed by the Centre or any state government. Misra had been Trai chairman for three years from 2006.

FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 Google Doodle: Let the games begin!
The finals will take place on July 7 in the city on Lyon. America, the defending champions, open their World Cup campaign next Wednesday in a bid to take home their fourth title. The four teams making their debut this year are Chila, Scotland, South Africa and Jamaica — the first ever Caribbean team to qualify. In the league, the top two teams in each of the six qualifying groups will advance to the knockout stages, where they will be joined by the four best third-placed teams. Friday's doodle is a part of a series that will be published over the next month. Each illustration will capture the 'local excitement of the competition', Google said. The official mascot of the tournament is Ettie, the French poussin. The prize money for the tournament this year is $30 million, of which $4 million is awarded to the champions. While FIFA has doubled the prize money since the 2015 World Cup in Canada, it remains a fraction of the $400 million that was awarded during the 2018 Men's World Cup. The prize money for the 2022 men's World Cup in Qatar will be $440 million, according to AP.

China extradition law protest rocks Hong Kong
"She has to withdraw the bill and resign," veteran Democratic Party lawmaker James To told crowds gathering outside the city's parliament on Sunday night. "The whole of Hong Kong is against her." After James spoke, thousands were still arriving, having started the march five hours earlier, filling four lanes of a major thoroughfare. Some sat in a nearby park singing hallelujah, but on a nearby road tensions were building after hours of peaceful protest.Riot police armed with batons and helmets were gathering while government-funded broadcaster RTHK reported that they used pepper spray on six masked men trying to block the road.Lam had yet to comment on the rally. The demonstration capped weeks of growing outrage in the business, diplomatic and legal communities, which fear corrosion of Hong Kong's legal autonomy and the difficulty of ensuring basic judicial protections in Mainland China.

Solid waste plant in 2020
There is no scientific garbage disposal system in Dibrugarh. At present, waste is dumped at Maijan Road much to the discomfort of local residents. They have stopped DMB vehicles which carry waste and blocked the road several times. Last year, local residents and the district administration fell out over the plant site. They protested for not setting up the project at Lekai, nearly 15km from Maijan Road. Later, the district administration sorted out the issue. In 2017, the Assam government sanctioned Rs 48.49 crore for construction of the plant. Jha said the Assam government has set a deadline on May 1, 2020, for completion of the plant at Lekai. "Today, a meeting was held at deputy commissioner's office regarding the ongoing work of the solid waste management plant. We are sure that the plant will solve the decade-old problem of garbage disposal in Dibrugarh. The plant will come up on 210 bighas land," Jha said.Everyday 70 to 75 tonnes of solid waste is collected by the DMB. The residents of Dibrugarh town protested against the piled-up waste on the roads. Assam's first gaon panchayat-based solid waste management plant is coming up at Mohanbari, 15km from Dibrugarh.

India's space force set to take off? Centre approves agency to develop weapons
The agency would be provided with a team of scientists which would be working in close coordination with the tri-services integrated defence staff officers. The agency would be providing the research and development support to the Defence Space Agency (DSA) which comprises members of the three services. The DSA has been created to help the country fight wars in the space. In March this year, the country had carried out the Anti Satellite Test which demonstrated its capability to shoot down satellites in space. With this missile test, India joined an elite club of four nations with such capability. The test also helped the country develop deterrence capability against adversaries who may want to attack Indian satellites to cripple systems in times of war. The Defence Space Agency is being set up in Bengaluru under an Air Vice Marshal-rank officer and will gradually take over the space-related capabilities of the three forces. The Modi government has created agencies for tackling space and cyber warfare along with a Special Operations Division to tackle the need for special operations required to be carried out both inside and outside the country.
