All weapon buffs and nerfs in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded
The Warzone Season 3 Reloaded update is here, and true to form, it brings with it a complete overhaul of the arsenal, which is likely to disrupt player routines, force changes in loadouts, and probably, redefine the meta even across casual and competitive lobbies.

But while the headlines are dominated by the launch of Ranked Play in Verdansk, it is the sweeping weapon tuning that really shakes the foundations. The fine-tuning goes across the board in the areas of Raven Software and Treyarch as they cover quite a lot of weapon classes-SMGs to snipers, rifles to shotguns, into a balancing act of buffs, nerfs, or subtle reworks. The aim? To create a more finely-tuned, competitive sandbox environment.
But for players, this becomes simple: adapt or be outgunned.

Delhi Police gets digital boost: New system to track stock in real time
-How can police officers check if a vehicle reaches the end of its service life? -In case of an emergency, is there a quick way to check the availability of arms and ammunition in stock? Police can now check all this and more, with just a single click. The Delhi Police has established a Central Inventory Management System (CIMS), the first of its kind within the force, enabling real-time tracking and management of every item in stock. With help from the Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics (BISAG), the force has developed the application. The Delhi Police's Provisioning and Logistics (P&L) Unit will have command of the operation, while district and unit heads can update and manage the stock. Confirming the development, Deputy Commissioner of Police (P&L) Vinit Kumar said BISAG has been working with the Delhi Police for the past year, and the application has been developed for use across six different modules within the force. These modules cover Motor Transport, Fuel Stock, Arms and Ammunition, Office Supplies, Communication Equipment, and Hiring. The P&L unit is responsible for managing the stock of all Delhi Police resources and their allocation to districts and other units, the officer said. 'Maintaining a record of any item from the stock is a herculean task in a force of over 90,000 personnel. We have tried to make the system easier and more handy for us and our unit heads,' Kumar further said. 'Under the supervision of Special Commissioner of Police (P&L) Garima Bhatnagar, three of the six modules have already been launched under CIMS for testing,' he said, adding, 'The login credentials for the application will be shared with unit heads so they can submit requests before the stock is depleted.' The modules: Motor and Transport: Under this, unit heads can access detailed information about newly acquired vehicles in the force. Officers can retrieve all sorts of data — from the date of a vehicle's induction to its retirement. It also includes the number of times it has been serviced and its performance reports. Additionally, unit heads can receive notifications when a vehicle reaches the end of its service life. Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants: The Delhi Police operates 11 petrol pumps for its vehicles. All these petrol pumps will be integrated with the CIMS system. Staff deployed at these pumps will be required to update the application each time a vehicle's tank is filled or fuel is issued to any vehicle. This will enable senior officers to monitor fuel availability at each pump in real time. Arms and Ammunition: This module is dedicated to managing the stock of arms and ammunition. The Delhi Police currently relies on SLRs, INSAS rifles, and AK-47s for long-range engagement, and 9-mm Glock pistols and revolvers for short-range operations. The authority to distribute arms and ammunition rests with the unit heads, subject to approval by officers of Joint Commissioner rank. In emergencies such as riots or hostile incidents, if a district or unit requires additional weapons and another district has surplus stock, this can be immediately checked through the system and shared accordingly. Central Supply Agency: From stationery items to office furniture, unit heads are required to update the application as soon as new stock is purchased. In addition to making purchases independently, they can also submit requests to the Central Command System, which is managed by the P&L Unit. Communication equipment: This module pertains to wireless sets, mobile phones, and other communication-related equipment used by the force. Hiring: This includes renting gadgets, vehicles, tents, or venues for policing purposes or other operational requirements of the force. Under this category, more than 80 types of items have been listed, which can be taken on rent upon updating the details on the CIMS.

‘UP emerges as backbone of India's defence sector'
Lucknow: Crediting the Modi-Yogi leadership for transforming the state into a hub of military manufacturing and exports, Sarojininagar MLA Rajeshwar Singh on Sunday said that Uttar Pradesh is emerging as the backbone of India's defence sector. Sharing insights on platform X, Singh said, "From rifles to rockets, UP is forging India's defence future. Our state is now a symbol of self-reliance, innovation, and global impact." The state hosts seven ordnance factories, three HAL units, and two Indo-Russian ventures — the AK-203 rifle unit in Amethi and the BrahMos missile facility in Lucknow. Six Defence Corridor nodes, three testing beds, South Asia's largest arms complex (Adani Defence, Kanpur), and the country's first strategic materials complex (PTC Industries, Lucknow) further underline UP's strategic importance. Global players like MKU Limited and Lohia Aerospace from Kanpur export to over 100 countries, reinforcing UP's position in the international defence supply chain. Singh hailed this as a hallmark of Aatmanirbhar Bharat , saying, "Under PM Modi and CM Yogi, UP is not only securing India but also generating jobs, driving innovation, and placing the state on the global defence map."

This IT firm to promote 15000 employees in India alone, 50000 worldwide, not Ratan Tata's TCS or Narayana Murthy's Infosys, but it is…
IT giant Accenture is set to promote around 15,000 employees in India in June 2024. This promotion is part of Accenture's global promotion drive, under which over 50,000 employees worldwide will get advancements in their roles. Ajay Vij, the company's Senior Managing Director in India, shared this information in an internal email to employees. He mentioned that during the entire fiscal year 2024-25, more than 43,000 employees in India would be promoted. In December, Accenture did some stay-at-level (base pay) increases for some employees. Between June and December, a majority of Indian employees will have got base pay increases. 'As a reminder, bonus and performance equity decisions for those eligible will continue to be made as part of the December cycle, and we will also continue to evaluate the opportunity for stay-at-level increases at that time,' Vij added. In September 2024, the Ireland-headquartered firm permanently shifted its promotion cycle from December to June, citing better visibility of client spending and demand. 'We've now permanently shifted that promotion cycle, so we will do our big promotion cycle in June, and our smaller one in December, to better match when our clients are setting their budgets and we have better visibility, and that's what we're seeing again. 'The justification for that is clear that we'll really know IT spending and spending on our services in the budgets in January and February,' Accenture CEO Julie Sweet had said during the company's earnings call in September. Accenture is one of the largest employers in the Indian IT services sector, with over 3,00,000 staff. Its global employee count stands at 7,74,000. Accenture reported revenues of USD 64.90 billion in FY24. (With Inputs From PTI)
