रात में भी खुले रहेंगे अमेरिकी शेयर बाजार! दिसंबर से शुरू हो सकता है ओवरनाइट सेशन

SUMMARY
# अमेरिकी शेयर बाजार में ओवरनाइट ट्रेडिंग की तैयारी

न्यूयॉर्क स्टॉक एक्सचेंज (NYSE) दिसंबर 2025 से 22 घंटे ट्रेडिंग सेशन शुरू करने की योजना बना रहा है। इससे निवेशक रात में भी शेयरों की खरीद-बिक्री कर सकेंगे। इसका मकसद एशिया और यूरोप के निवेशकों को अमेरिकी बाजार में आसान पहुंच देना है। वर्तमान में NYSE सुबह 9:30 से शाम 4:00 बजे (US समय) तक खुलता है। ओवरनाइट सेशन से ग्लोबल निवेशकों को अपने टाइमज़ोन में ट्रेडिंग का मौका मिलेगा। इससे बाजार में लिक्विडिटी बढ़ेगी और भारतीय निवेशकों को भी फायदा होगा क्योंकि वे अपने दिन के समय में अमेरिकी शेयर खरीद-बेच सकेंगे। हालांकि, रात की ट्रेडिंग में वॉल्यूम कम और वोलैटिलिटी ज्यादा रहने की आशंका है। SEC की मंजूरी अभी बाकी है।

When Election Commission was rocked by internal disputes | Explained

SUMMARY
# Election Commission Internal Disputes Explained

India's Election Commission faced unprecedented internal conflict when Chief Election Commissioner and fellow commissioners publicly disagreed on key decisions. Notable disputes arose during the 2009 era when commissioners differed on electoral reforms, appointment processes, and administrative matters. The most significant rift occurred between CEC Navin Chawla and Commissioner Naveen Kumar, where allegations of political bias surfaced. Opposition parties demanded Chawla's removal before the 2009 general elections, citing partisan conduct. The Supreme Court intervened but allowed him to continue. These disputes highlighted structural weaknesses in the multi-member commission, raising concerns about independence and collegial functioning of India's premier electoral body.
