About Tej:-
Location: Arabian Sea.
Impacts in different regions:-
Light to moderate rainfall at most places with isolated heavy rainfall over Mizoram and heavy to very rainfall over Tripura is likely to occur today and tomorrow.
Isolated heavy rainfall is likely over the same region on the 25th of this month.
Rainfall intensity will decrease on 26th November with light to moderate rainfall at a few places over the region.
Light to moderate rainfall is likely at many places over south Assam and eastern Meghalaya with isolated heavy rainfall over south Assam.
In coastal Districts of Odisha, light to moderate rainfall is expected to occur in most places.

About Cyclone:-
A cyclone is a pattern of winds (or air mass) that circulates a low-pressure system.
It rotates counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
It is typically associated with wet and stormy weather. (Naming of Cyclone)
Classification:-
There are two types of cyclones:
Tropical cyclones and
Extra-tropical cyclones (also called Temperate cyclones)
Tropical cyclone:-
It is an intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans.
It is characterized by low atmospheric pressure, high winds, and heavy rain. ( Colour Coded Weather Warning)
These are formed over slightly warm ocean waters.
The temperature of the top layer of the sea, up to a depth of about 60 meters, needs to be at least 28°C to support the formation of a cyclone.
April-May and October-December periods are conducive for cyclones.
Then, the low level of air above the waters needs to have an ‘anticlockwise’ rotation (in the northern hemisphere; clockwise in the southern hemisphere).
During these periods, there was an ITCZ in the Bay of Bengal.
Temperate cyclones:-
It occurs in temperate zones and high-latitude regions, though they are known to originate in the Polar Regions.
These are active above the mid-latitudinal region between 35° and 65° latitude in both hemispheres.
The direction of movement is from west to east and is more pronounced in the winter seasons.

Bani festival
Syllabus
Prelims –ART AND CULTURE
Context: Recently, three people lost their lives and more than a hundred were injured in the traditional Banni festival
About Bani festival:-
Location: Andhra Pradesh.
It is celebrated on the night of the Dussehra celebration (Vijaya Dasami) every year.
It is a traditional stick-fight.
The objective of this event was to snatch the idols from God’s team, leading to a fierce battle known as the Banni Fight.
Historical significance: This festival was celebrated by people under the Vijayanagara Empire.
At that time, it was even more dangerous; axes and spears were used for the fight.
It is celebrated on account of the victory of Lord Mala Malleswara Swamy and Goddess Parvati over demonish Mani and Mallasura, who troubled the people in the Devaragattu region.
Process of ritual:-
The villages in Kurnool divide themselves into groups and take part in a ritualistic stick fight.
After performing prayers and ‘kalyanam’ at the temple, devotees carry the deities inside a thick cloth bag on the shoulders down the hill.
A few of the devotees create a ring of security around the idols.
As they come down, thousands of lathi-wielding people from the rival group, make a bid to stop the procession from going forward and a bloody battle breaks out.
The stick fight between both the groups continues down the hill while these villagers who are generally farmers, walk in a procession with their shirts drenched in blood!
The procession continues till dawn with various artistic performances by artists, dancers, singers, and composers happening alongside eventually creating a phenomenal journey.
After the procession reaches down, puja is performed and the temple priest slits his thigh to offer a fistful of blood to the deity.
Another fierce round of stick fight takes place and the deity of the Lord is then placed at Simhasana katta marking the end of the Bani festival.

AI IN DEFENCE SECTOR
Syllabus
GS III – SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly significant role in the defense sector, transforming the way military operations are conducted, and improving decision-making, efficiency, and safety. Here are some key areas where AI is being utilized in the defense sector:
Autonomous Systems: AI is used to develop autonomous drones, ground vehicles, and maritime vessels for tasks like surveillance, reconnaissance, and logistics. These systems can operate in hazardous environments or carry out repetitive tasks, reducing human risk.
Predictive Maintenance: AI is employed to predict equipment failures and conduct preventive maintenance, ensuring that military vehicles and equipment remain operational and reducing downtime.
Cybersecurity: AI-powered cyber security tools help defend against cyber threats and attacks. These systems can identify and respond to threats in real-time, protecting sensitive military data and communication.
Data Analysis and Intelligence: AI is used for data analysis to sift through vast amounts of information, from satellite imagery to communications intercepts, and extract valuable intelligence. AI can be used to process unused or underused data to provide more actionable intelligence for the Indian armed forces. It will enhance the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
Simulation and Training: AI-driven simulations provide realistic training environments for soldiers, pilots, and commanders. These simulations can help personnel develop critical skills in a safe and controlled setting.
Biometrics and Identity Verification: AI can be used for biometric identification and verification, helping ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive areas or information.
Language Translation and Cross-Cultural Communication: AI-powered translation and communication tools help military personnel interact with foreign populations and allies, aiding in diplomacy and peacekeeping efforts.
ADVANTAGES OF AI IN DEFENCE SECTOR
Safety – Reducing human casualties and risks
Adaptability – It can be made adaptable to new threats by constant learning.
Improved decision-making – More precise, faster situation assessments and analyses.
Emotions – It offsets emotions and prejudices
CHALLENGES OF USING AI IN DEFENCE SECTOR
Prejudices – Prejudices can be inherent through biased algorithms
High cost of Implementation – Given the complexity of engineering in building AI technology, these equipment’s are highly expensive.
Lack of skill – Requires skilled labour for using the new technologies.
Ethical issues- AI can raise questions about the responsibility, accountability, and transparency of military actions and decisions. For example, who is liable if an autonomous weapon causes harm or violates international law? How can we ensure that AI respects human dignity and rights?
Cyber-attacks- AI systems are vulnerable to hacking, manipulation, or sabotage by adversaries.
Conclusion:
It’s worth noting that the adoption of AI in the defense sector raises ethical and legal concerns, such as questions about autonomous weapons, data privacy, and accountability. Many countries and international organizations are working to establish guidelines and regulations for the responsible use of AI in military applications
