3.Defence, nuclear and $200 billion trade push: When world leaders visit India, they typically stay for extended engagements. Yet on January 19, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan came to New Delhi for just about three hours to meet Narendra Modi. He arrived, held talks and departed in the time it takes to fly between the two capitals. But what it lacked in duration, the visit made up for in substance.

4.Western Railway is ready to roll out 12 new AC local services between Churchgate and Virar from Jan 26, but this is happening at the expense of 12 regular locals that have been cancelled. The move will take the AC services up from 109 to 121, but will leave the total number of locals unchanged at 1,406, which means that lakhs travelling daily in non-AC compartments will face bigger crowds and longer waits.
