Explanation: The article explicitly states that there is consensus on reducing the maximum penalty amount from Rs 5 lakh to a range of Rs 20,000 to Rs 1 lakh. The other options are plausible distractors but do not match the specific data point mentioned.

Explanation: The article clearly states that the Jharkhand Cabinet sanctioned Rs. 284.17 crore for the formation of the Medico City group, which will include super-specialty hospitals with 5000 beds. Rs. 545.38 crore is the amount sanctioned for the MGM Hospital building in Jamshedpur.
As per the news, what is the total number of panchayats in Jharkhand based on which the Jalmitra deployment is planned?
What is a primary objective of replacing the term 'fine' with 'penalty' in the Clinical Establishments Act amendments, as mentioned in the article?
Explanation: The article explains that under the new rules, the determination of punishment will be based on the nature and seriousness of the violation. Replacing 'fine' with 'penalty' is part of this shift towards a more proportionate and graded enforcement mechanism, as opposed to a fixed heavy fine.
What is the primary objective behind the Jharkhand Cabinet's decision to categorize mineral blocks into 'partially explored' and 'fully explored' categories under its new policy?
Explanation: The article states the new policy will select an operational model for mineral blocks based on geological situation, financial needs, risks and commercial production; rewriting option B to mirror this wording removes the ambiguity and matches the article.
