🔆 GEOGRAPHY
📍 Cyclone Murasu – First Tamil Name for a Tropical Cyclone
🟢 Murasu became the first Tamil name assigned to a tropical cyclone since the North Indian Ocean naming system began in September 2004.
🟢 It is a severe cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal.
🟢 Suggested by: Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai.
🟢 Meaning: Murasu is a traditional Tamil percussion instrument.
🟢 Historically, it was used to disseminate information, alert people about natural disasters and produce thunderous warning sounds.
🟢 Murasu is the third Indian-suggested name in the second list, after Gati and Tej.
🔆 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS & ISSUES
📍 Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC) 2026
🟢 Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
🟢 Venue: Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

🟢 Participation of 300+ invited delegates from India and abroad.
🟢 Covers 12 thematic areas, including:
🟢 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biotechnology.
🟢 Advanced Materials and Advanced Manufacturing.
🟢 Healthcare and Energy.
🟢 Climate Science and Ocean Sciences.
📍 UN Ends Political Mission in Somalia (2026)
🟢 The UN ended its political mission in Somalia on 31 October 2026, concluding over three decades of UN political operations following a two-year transition.
🟢 Evolution of the Mission:
🟢 1995: UN Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) established.
🟢 2013: UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) established by the UN Security Council.
🟢 2024: Renamed UN Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNTMIS) for a two-year transition.
🟢 2026: UNTMIS closed; responsibilities transferred to Somali institutions and the UN Country Team.
🟢 Objectives: Support democracy, rule of law, political reconciliation, institution-building and peacebuilding.
🟢 Continuing challenges: Al-Shabaab, an Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist organisation, controls parts of central Somalia.
🟢 International funding cuts threaten counter-terrorism operations, while political disputes and insecurity pose challenges to elections scheduled for May 2027.
📍 UN Peacekeeping Mission in Western Sahara – MINURSO
🟢 UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced the closure of the 35-year-old MINURSO mission following the failure of the UN Security Council to renew its mandate.

🟢 Established: 1991 by the UN Security Council.
🟢 Objectives:
🟢 Monitor the ceasefire between Morocco and the Polisario Front.
🟢 Organise a referendum on self-determination in Western Sahara.
🟢 The referendum remained unheld due to disagreements over voter eligibility.
🟢 1 November 2026: Liquidation phase began, with mission assets to be returned to contributing countries.
🟢 A 2025 UN Security Council resolution recognised Morocco’s autonomy proposal under its sovereignty as the most feasible solution.
🟢 Morocco welcomed the decision, while the Polisario Front expressed concern.
🔆 ENVIRONMENT
📍 Mollisia sokpayensia – New Fungal Species
🟢 A team led by a Manipur microbiologist discovered a new fungal species named Mollisia sokpayensia.
🟢 Location: Sikkim Himalayas, part of the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot.
🟢 Associated with the rhizome of the medicinal plant Panax sokpayensis, a rare and high-value plant native to the Sikkim Himalayas.

📍 Fungal Endophytes
🟢 Microorganisms that inhabit the internal tissues of healthy plants without causing visible disease symptoms.
🟢 They may form associations with their host plants and produce bioactive compounds with potential applications in:
🟢 Medicine and drug discovery.
🟢 Agriculture.
🟢 Biotechnology.
📍 Characteristics of Mollisia sokpayensia
🟢 Exhibited slow growth under laboratory conditions at 28°C.
🟢 Its colonies changed colour from brown to blackish-brown.

🔆 About the Forest Rights Act, 2006
🟢 Full name: Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
🟢 Came into force on 31 December 2007.
🟢 Eligibility: Forest-dwelling STs meeting the statutory conditions and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFDs) with 75 years of forest residence.

🔆 Key Rights Under FRA
🟢 Individual Forest Rights (IFR): Recognition of eligible occupation and cultivation, up to 4 hectares.
🟢 Community Rights: Minor forest produce, grazing and other traditional uses.
🟢 Community Forest Resource Rights (CFRR): Community protection and management of customary forests.

🟢 Section 4(5): Protection against eviction until recognition and verification are complete.
🔆 Implementation Status
🟢 Approximately 54 lakh claims received nationally by 31 August 2026.
🟢 43.56 lakh claims disposed of; 25.42 lakh titles issued.
🟢 18.13 lakh claims rejected, highlighting concerns over due process and reasoned orders.
🟢 Habitat rights recognised for only 11 of 75 PVTGs.
🔆 Challenges & Way Forward
