We have initiated some changes in the 9 PM Brief and other postings related to current affairs. What we sought to do:
- Ensure that all relevant facts, data, and arguments from today’s newspaper are readily available to you.

- PIB
- We have also introduced the relevance part to every article. This ensures that you know why a particular article is important.
