President Anura Kumara Dissanayake secured a landslide win in Sri Lanka's November 14 general elections, shattering records of strong governments of the past and making history in the island's ethnic minorities-dominated north, east, and hill country. 

The National People's Power (NPP) won a total of 159 seats in the 225-member House, securing over two-thirds majority, official results declared on Friday showed.

'Central law to tackle crimes against health workers not needed'

The National Task Force (NTF) report filed in the Supreme Court in the suo motu case concerning the R.G. Kar rape and murder case has said there is no need to enact a "separate Central law" to protect healthcare professionals. 

The NTF said States had enough laws to keep healthcare professionals safe. Besides, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, could take care of heinous offences committed against doctors and medical staff, the report said. 

"It has been observed that State laws have adequate provisions to address day-to-day minor offences and serious offences can be addressed by the BNS. 

A separate Central law to deal with offences against healthcare professionals is, therefore, not required," the NTF reasoned.

India voices dissent against trade barriers linked to emissions

A week before the UN summit began, China had petitioned the Presidency of the 29th Conference of Parties (COP 29) to include a discussion on "climate change-related unilateral restrictive trade measures" as part of the formal conference agenda.
