NMRA data loss: SJB lodges complaint with CID
COLOMBO (News 1st); Samagi Jana Balawega MP Nalin Bandara on Monday (30) lodged a complaint with the CID requesting an immediate inquiry into the deletion of the National Drug Regulatory Authority’s files from the Lanka Government Cloud. He pointed out in his complaint that the sudden disappearance of sensitive data of the Drug Regulatory Authority is an action against the provisions of Sections 24 and 130 of the National Drug Regulatory Authority Act No. Meanwhile, Dr. Rukshan Bellana, Chairman of the Government Medical Officers’ Forum says that the loss of sensitive information can be seen as a mafia attack. He mentioned that the Ministry of Health and the Secretary to the Ministry of Health are responsible for this attack.

Enforced disappearances: The black hole of memory
However, Sri Lanka has a reputation when it comes to enforced disappearances, and according to certain human rights groups, Sri Lanka has the second highest number of enforced disappearances in the world, with an estimated number between 60,000 and 100,000 disappeared persons since the late 1980s. However, the drawn out debate on enforced disappearances is not going to be forgotten, nor should it be. Enforced disappearances were prevalent during the insurgencies in the South and during the war between the defence forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). It is true that Sri Lanka has initiated some projects such as the Office on Missing Persons (OMP) and the Office for Reparations. As a country, Sri Lanka has failed to even continue the allowance allocated for the families of the disappeared.

Realme GT Master review
When the words Pro and Max have been almost stripped of meaning and Plus primarily denoting a size difference, Realme's GT lineup ventures into more abstract terms - today, we have the Realme GT Master for you. Not to be confused with the more upmarket GT Explorer Master, the GT Master is a mid-tier offering that is going to be the most affordable global GT, if we assume the GT Neo will remain confined to China only. The GT Explorer Master is the camera-centric of the GT bunch, with a notably superior rear configuration, but it does share the 32MP selfie camera with the non-Explorer we have here, a step up from the GT 5G front-facing camera. Perhaps the most notable blemish in the GT Master's specsheet is in the speaker field - all the other GTs have stereo speakers, this one has a single bottom-firing one. Realme GT Master unboxingThere's hardly anything to complain about when it comes to the presentation and the box contents.

Honor X20 Max reportedly coming with a 7.2” screen
The Honor X20 series already have two members - the affordable X20 SE and the X20 5G with an Oreo-shaped camera island on the back. Reports from China now reveal a third variant is on its way - it will have a humongous 7.2” screen, a 6,000 mAh battery and will keep the circle on the back. The Honor X20 Max would be a natural successor of the Honor X10 Max, launched in the summer of 2020. It came with a 7.1” screen, meaning the new device will have the biggest screen on an Honor smartphone ever. The bigger question here is whether Honor will be able to bring these midrangers to the overseas market - its last X series phone was the 10X Lite in late 2020, and it wasn’t even an Honor device - it was a rebranded Huawei phone.
