When is Halloween 2017?

Halloween falls every year on October 31, which is a Tuesday this year – that’s tomorrow!
It is held the day before All Saints’ Day, which is a Christian festival used to celebrate recognised saints.
Halloween activities typically involve trick or treating and dressing up in fancy dress.


Why is the date of Halloween significant?

The word Halloween comes from Hallowe’en, meaning “hallowed evening” or holy evening.
It is widely thought that Halloween traditions came from Celtic harvest festivals of Samhain, although some people support the view that Halloween began independently as a Christian festival.
Samhain was a celebration of the end of the harvest season, and means “summer’s end.”
People at this time thought the walls between worlds were thin and spirits could pass through into our realm, and it was feared they may damage crops for the next season.
To appease any spirits, gaels would set up places at their dinner tables for the spirits and light bonfires to scare off evil spirits.

Airtel, Reliance Jio Lock Horns Over Removal of In-Band Spectrum Cap

Bharti Airtel , India’s leading telecom operator, and Reliance Jio have now locked horns over the cap on spectrum holdings in a band. In a note to the regulator, the Sunil Mittal-led telco has reportedly opposed any removal or relaxation of the upper limit on spectrum holding in a band from the present 50%, while the Mukesh Ambani-led Jio believes the 50% in-band cap should be done away with, as technology has become spectrum-agnostic. Bharti Airtel said that the cap should stay to ensure no telecom player is able to create a monopoly, and gains dominance in holding of airwaves in any particular band, according to media reports.
