Bangladesh
Nepal
Bhutan
Myanmar
Indian Railways for the first time transported a special freight train of dry chillies from Reddipalem in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh to Benapol in Bangladesh, beyond the country's borders.

To send goods by freight train, farmers and traders had to arrange more than 1500 tons of goods in each consignment, but the cost came down to about Rs 4600.
A nanoparticle containing chitosan is constructed by the Institute of Nano Science and Technology, Mohali for the treatment of which one disease-
Cancer
Arthritis
diabetes
Tuberculosis
Scientists from the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), an autonomous body of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, have rendered nanoparticles with chitosan and loaded these nanoparticles with zinc gluconate to reduce the intensity of rematoid arthritis. is.
The zinc element is important for maintaining normal bone homeostasis, and it is reported that its level is reduced in rematoid arthritis patients and arthritis-induced animals. It has also been known that oral splitting of zinc in the form of zinc gluconate has very little bioavailability in humans.

Indian Wildlife Institute Dehradun has recently conducted a successful study to know the migration route of which migratory bird in Rajasthan-
Godavan
Bengal Fluorican
Siberian Crane
Khammor
The Indian Wildlife Institute, Dehradun has started a project to know the migration route of a bird named Kharmor who migrated to Rajasthan during the rainy season.
The Khammor bird that appears in the grasslands and fields during the monsoon in Ajmer district is called Lesser Fluorican in English.
The color of the new species of this rare bird is black upper wing white, peacock-like on the head.
After breeding during the rainy period this bird becomes invisible again, only to find out that this project was started.
Using the technology, a solar powered satellite transmitter was installed on the back of Khammor.
The bird traveled 500 kilometers and reached Madhya Pradesh via Bijolia, Gandhi Sagar and Mandsaur.
At present, only 3000 Kharmore birds are left across the country, which can be provided protection by studying their migration patterns.
