The palm-scanning device uses infrared light to recognize unique palm features and create a palm signature connected to a credit card or Amazon account.

The outstanding loans to state-run companies, corporations, local bodies, autonomous institutions, and non-government organizations show increasing loans but static repayments. Despite high-cost borrowing from the market, the return on investment is significantly lower. Karnatakas outstanding debt stands at Rs 5.5 lakh crore, while budget estimates stand at only Rs 3 lakh crore. Concerns over repayments and bringing Karnataka out of debt are inevitable, especially with the electricity supply companies (Escoms) having a combined liability of Rs 98,000 crore.
