Twin sisters achieve twin results in SSLC exam
Vijayapura: It is not unusual to see twin sisters attending SSLC exams, but certainly rare that twin sisters secure exact same number of marks in the exam.
This rare feat is achieved by Saba and Zeba Mulla; the twin sisters who secured 99.2 % result by scoring 620/625 marks.
Daughters of Liyaquat Mulla, who is serving as Head Master in the government school Babanagar in the district, the sisters are the students of SECAB educational Institution in the city.
Elated for getting twin results, the sisters said that they used to spend around 7-8 hours daily studying and preparing for the exam.
“We were confident of getting good marks, but never thought that we will get exact same number of marks in the exam. This is very surprising for us”, said Saba. She said that the constant support of the family and the teachers helped them achieve good marks.
Asked whether the lockdown due to pandemic made any impact on their studies, Zeba said that the lockdown had its own advantage and disadvantage.
Saba added, “Due to lockdown, we got enough time to study as there was nothing else to do. We spent most of our time preparing for the exam. But on the contrary, we faced difficulties as we could not go to school to clear our doubts. However, the teachers helped us through online classes in clearing the doubts and preparing for exams.”
The twin sisters advised the SSLC students to work hard and spend at least 7-8 hours studying for better results. “If the SSLC students have already got their study materials, then start studying now itself. It will help the students when the schools will reopen in coming days”, Saba said. They wish to take science in PUC and become doctors in future.
Equally elated is their father, Liyaquat Mulla who said that he encourages his daughters to do best in their academics.
“I have four children and have dedicated my entire life to ensure that they get best education. My twin daughters have made me feel proud with their results. I am sure they will continue to give similar performance in their future studies. I wish all parents to support their children in their studies whether it is a son or daughter”, he said.

MediaOne TV Facebook page restored after block linked to ‘government request’
Kochi: The official Facebook page of Malayalam news channel MediaOne TV has been restored after being blocked without prior notice, the broadcaster said on Wednesday.
The channel was quoted by Maktoob as saying that the restriction was lifted automatically, with Meta Platforms informing it that the action had been taken following a “government request” which has now expired or been reversed.
The development came shortly after the channel approached the Kerala High Court challenging the blocking of its page, terming it arbitrary and in violation of legal provisions and judicial precedents. The High Court had issued notice to Meta via email hours before the restriction was withdrawn.
In its petition, the channel said access to its Facebook page had been restricted for users in India without citing any specific content or alleged violation. It contended that while individual posts may be taken down under applicable a rule, blocking an entire page goes beyond the scope of such measures.
The incident followed an earlier action taken against the channel in 2022, when the Ministry of Information and transmitting prohibited it from transmitting. It cited national security concerns regarding the Ministry of Home Affairs' refusal of security clearance.
The Supreme Court of India in April 2023 set aside the ban, observing that national security claims cannot be made without substantive basis and that criticism of government policies does not render a media outlet anti-national.
