ESMA:
The Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) is an act of Parliament of India. It is a central law.
It was established to ensure the delivery of certain services, which if obstructed would affect the normal life of the people. These include services like public transport (bus services), health services (doctors and hospitals).
Although it is a very powerful law, its execution rests entirely on the discretion of the State government. Each state in the union of India, hence has a separate state Essential Services Maintenance Act with slight variations from the central law in its provisions. This freedom is accorded by the central law itself.

Green tribunal nod for Vizhinjam seaport project
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has cleared way for the Kerala government’s Vizhinjam International Seaport project being undertaken by Gujarat-based Adani Group.
The Vizhinjam International Transhipment Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport is an ambitious project designed primarily to cater container transhipment besides multi-purpose and break bulk cargo.
The port is about 16 km from Kerala’s capital Thiruvananthapuram and just 10 nautical miles from the International Shipping Lane.

India, the world’s third largest steel producer, too is facing a spate of cheap imports from China, Japan and Korea.
Steel sector in India accounts for the highest number of NPAs with the banks.

Totaliser machines- Enhancing principle of ballot secrecy
Totaliser machine mixes votes from various booths before counting. As per the ECI’s suggestion, the results of votes polled in a group of 14 EVMs (hence, in 14 polling stations) would be calculated and announced together. Thus, there will be an overall, not booth-wise result after polling.
The totaliser is expected to prevent disclosure of voting patterns across polling stations, thus furthering a level of secrecy in voting.
This will allay the fears of voters against any pre-poll intimidation or post-poll reprisal by any candidate or political party.

What is a PTA?
A preferential trade agreement is a trading bloc that gives preferential access to certain products from the participating countries. This is done by reducing tariffs but not by abolishing them completely.
