- India’s drug regulator approved Wegovy for treatment in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis-related liver disease.

What happened
Uttar Pradesh police carried out an operation after a train chase in which two criminals were shot. The Uttar Pradesh police response presents the action as a law-and-order response to suspects linked to serious criminal activity.
India’s drug regulator approved Wegovy for treatment in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis-related liver disease. The approval makes it the first glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medicine cleared in India for that use.
UPSC can use the drug approval to test the role of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, emerging obesity-related therapies, and regulatory decision-making in health policy. The hydrogen train can be used to ask about green hydrogen, railway decarbonisation, and the challenges of scaling new transport technologies. The Uttar Pradesh police encounter has limited value beyond basic questions on law and order and public order under State responsibility.
