One Nation One Election cleared by Union Cabinet
New Delhi: The Union Cabinet has approved the report from the high-level committee chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind on the proposal for 'One Nation, One Election.'
The committee's recommendations include holding simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies, followed by synchronised local body polls within 100 days.
The report was submitted earlier this year and its presentation before the Cabinet was part of the law ministry’s 100-day agenda. The committee has also suggested forming an 'Implementation Group' to oversee the execution of these recommendations.
Additionally, the panel has proposed 18 constitutional amendments, some of which may require ratification by state Assemblies. Notably, changes related to a unified electoral roll and voter ID card would need the support of at least half of the states.

Minor fire breaks out at M S Ramaiah Medical College Hospital, no one injured
Bengaluru (PTI): A minor fire broke out at M S Ramaiah Medical College Hospital at Mathikere here on Thursday, officials said.
Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot, they said.
"A minor fire broke out at the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) on the first floor of the hospital. Four patients who were admitted in the CCU were immediately evacuated and shifted to safety. No patient or staff member was injured in the fire," a senior fire and emergency services department official said.
The fire has been extinguished.
"The patients are safe. All of them have been evacuated. The fire didn’t cause any injuries to anyone. It’s the first time something like this happened and we suspect it must have been due to a short circuit," said a hospital official.
