Recreation Day in Tasmania started as a way to balance the number of public holidays across the state. In the early 1900s, southern Tasmania enjoyed an extra holiday called Regatta Day.
Northern residents, lacking this extra day, needed a similar break.
In response, the Tasmanian government introduced the “First Monday in November” holiday in 1919.

The BJP has vowed to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Jharkhand if voted to power in the State, but will keep the tribal people out of its ambit. The vow has been made in the party’s manifesto for the Assembly election.
The Sankalp Patra, released by Union Home Minister Amit Shah here on Sunday, has 25 resolutions and a number of freebies. “We will bring the Uniform Civil Code [UCC] to Jharkhand and let me assure you that tribal people will not be affected at all,” he said.
The BJP has promised that its government will buy paddy at ₹3,100 a quintal under the Krishak Su-Niti scheme and implement the Krishi Ashirwad Yojana to provide farmers ₹5,000 an acre for up to five acres of farmland.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Sunday said her government will send within a week a proposal to Lieutenant-Governor V.K. Saxena for the permanent engagement of around 10,000 civil defence volunteers reinstated last month.
She also said they would be deployed within two to four days across the Capital to help government agencies combat air pollution as mandated by their reinstatement order issued on October 24 by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, which has the L-G as its Chairman.
The CM’s remarks came a day after Mr. Saxena slammed the government for missing the November 1 deadline to deploy the volunteers for pollution-mitigation efforts.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress leader and United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi-led Union government on Sunday at Mananthavady in the district, accusing it of prioritising the interests of big businesses over welfare of the people.
Addressing a public meeting here, she said that Mr. Modi sought to cling on to power by sowing division, inciting hatred and undermining democratic institutions. “Modi ji’s government operates solely for his wealthy business allies. Their goal is not to enhance your quality of life, create jobs or improve health and education. It is merely to maintain power by dividing people, fostering anger, and stripping away your rights.”

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Sunday suspended two senior forest officials in connection with the death of 10 elephants in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR) this week. The decision was taken after Mr. Yadav held a high-level meeting with officials.
The Chief Minister suspended Forest Conservator and BTR Field Director Gaurav Chaudhary, an Indian Forest Services officer, for not “returning from his leave and keeping his mobile phone switched off despite having been informed of the situation”, as per an order issued by Forest Department Secretary Atul Kumar Mishra.

Mist engulfed the Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir’s summer capital, Srinagar, on the last Sunday of October. For most of the day, the autumn sun struggled to shine over the lake that is central to life here. The still waters then slowly gave way to ripples, turning into short waves. Soon, 75 shikaras, Kashmir’s traditional boats, each 15 feet long with narrow pointed ends, swarmed the lake for a rare all-woman boat race.
They were ‘driven’ by 150 women, mostly from families living near the lake, with dreams in their eyes and a determination to win. Many were trained, some were not. They donned salwar-kurtas or jeans and tops; none wore gear for a water sport as they couldn’t afford it.
