  • Govt imposes stock limits on traders to keep prices of pulses in check | Economy News

    New Delhi: The Centre has issued an order imposing stock limits for pulses that can be stored by wholesalers, retailers, big chain retailers, millers, and importers to prevent hoarding and keep prices in check. The order, which kicks in with immediate effect, prescribes stock limits for tur and chana, including kabuli chana, until September 30, 2024, for all states and Union Territories.

    The action is part of a slew of measures taken by the government to keep prices of essential commodities under control. The stock limit is aimed at preventing unscrupulous elements from profiteering at the cost of consumers. Stock limits applicable to each of the pulse individually will be 200 metric tonnes (MT) for wholesalers; 5MT for retailers; 5 MT at each retail outlet and 200 MT at the depot for big chain retailers.

    In the case of millers, the stock limit is the last 3 months of their production or 25 per cent of annual installed capacity, whichever is higher. Importers are barred from holding imported stock beyond 45 days from the date of Customs clearance, according to an official statement.

    “The respective legal entities are to declare the stock position on the portal (https://fcainfoweb.nic.in/psp) of the Department of Consumer Affairs and in case the stocks held by them are higher than the prescribed limits, they shall bring the same to the prescribed stock limits by July 12, 2024,” the order said.

    The Department of Consumer Affairs has been closely monitoring the stock position of pulses through the stock disclosure portal. The Department had, in the first week of April, communicated to the state governments to enforce mandatory stock disclosure by all stockholding entities, which was followed up with visits to major pulses-producing states and trading hubs across the country from the last week of April till May 10.

    Separate meetings with traders, stockists, dealers, importers, millers, and big chain retailers were also held to encourage and sensitise them for truthful disclosure of stocks and maintaining the affordability of pulses for the consumers.

    Sowing of Kharif pulses like tur and urad is expected to increase significantly this season due to high price realisation by farmers and above-normal monsoon rains predicted by the IMD. Further, tur imported from East African countries is expected to arrive from August onward. These factors are expected to help bring down the prices of Kharif pulses like tur and urad in the coming months.

  • Overage Vehicles Found Parked In Public Spaces May Be Impounded: Delhi Govt | Auto News

    Overage Vehicles Policy In Delhi: Overage vehicles need to be parked in private spaces or be scrapped, the Delhi government said in a public notice on Thursday. Vehicles found parked in public places in violation of the guidelines may be impounded, the notice said.

    Reiterating its guidelines for overage vehicles issued this February, the transport department said there is a complete prohibition on parking overage vehicles in areas just outside residences, which are considered public places.

    “Keep such vehicles in private parking spaces owned by the individual, not in a shared parking space, even if it’s part of a residential complex. A parking space allotted to the owner within a residential complex is considered private,” it said.

    According to the notice, the Delhi government has deregistered 5.5 million overage vehicles. Owners of such vehicles have the option of obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to move the vehicle out of Delhi within one year of the vehicle’s expiry date, it said, adding that no NOC for the vehicle will be issued after one year of expiry of the vehicle.

    Another option for owners of overage vehicles is to scrap the vehicle through the Voluntary Vehicle Scrapping Application at ‘https://vscrap.Parivahan.Gov.In/’ at any nearby registered vehicle scrapping facility, it added.

    The notice said the enforcement wing of the transport department, New Delhi Municipal Council, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and Traffic Police may impound such vehicles found parked in public places, even if an NOC has been issued but the vehicle has not been moved out of Delhi within one month of NOC issuance. Offenders may also be prosecuted as per the ‘Guidelines for Handling of End-of-Life Vehicles 2024’.

    In 2018, the Supreme Court banned diesel and petrol vehicles older than 10 and 15 years, respectively, in Delhi. It had added that the vehicles plying in violation of the order would be impounded. A 2014 order of the National Green Tribunal bars vehicles older than 15 years to be parked in public places.

According to AccuWeather, the match day forecast predicts “partly sunny and humid with a shower in places.” There’s a 40% chance of rain, with temperatures hovering around 31°C and humidity at 75%. While the sun is expected to shine through most of the day, the possibility of intermittent showers could disrupt the match.

    Kensington Oval has been a witness to numerous memorable cricketing moments. The pitch here traditionally supports batsmen, with an average first-innings score of 138. However, the highest score recorded is a whopping 224, indicating the potential for high-scoring affairs. Of the 47 T20Is played here, the team batting first has won 30 matches, suggesting a preference for setting a target rather than chasing one.

    The Stakes: High for Both Teams

    As India and Afghanistan gear up for this crucial encounter, both teams understand the significance of a victory. For India, maintaining their undefeated streak and securing a strong position in the Super 8s is paramount. On the other hand, Afghanistan aims to bounce back from their recent defeat and prove their mettle against a top-tier team.

    Fan Expectations: A Battle to Remember

    Fans from both nations and around the world are eagerly awaiting this clash. The electric atmosphere at Kensington Oval, combined with the passionate support from the stands, is expected to create an unforgettable experience.

  • People with unconfirmed train tickets to be forcefully deboarded by RPF? Congress slams Indian Railways minister | Railways News

    Lately, social media has been flooded with videos of people travelling in overcrowded sleepers and 3rd AC coaches. Those who are acquainted with train travel in India know that while people with waitlisted or general tickets are allowed to travel in sleeper classes, their entry was not allowed in the 3rd AC. However, now even 2nd AC premium seats are not spared and waitlisted people are seen travelling in the coach. The situation has become so grim that those with confirmed seats faced difficulty in getting or using their berths. People who faced difficulty despite paying for 3rd or 2nd AC raised the issue on social media. The condition is worse in sleeper and general classes where people are seen travelling stuffed in toilets and walking bays, leaving no space for any movement. In 2016, then Railways minister Suresh Prabhu had dreamt of ensuring confirmed tickets to every passenger by 2020. Four years later from the said deadline, even those with confirmed tickets are struggling to get their berths in 2024.

    Indian Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav succeeded in One Train One Compartment

    When the issue was brought to the notice of Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, he directed the authorities to take suitable steps to curb the entry of passengers with unconfirmed tickets in reserved coaches. The Zonal railways were directed to launch drives involving the Railway Protection Force and the Government Railway Police Force to ensure only passengers with confirmed tickets travelled in the reserved coaches. While the Indian Railways runs multiple special and clone trains to mitigate seasonal rush, the overcrowding of trains has become a new normal due to multiple reasons.

    Sir Train No. 15120 from Dehradun to Banaras. Coach no M1 (3rd AC) This is the condition of third AC what will be the condition in sleeper coach can you imagine? Please take action on this with immediate effect. Feeling no use of taking reservation tkt. @RailMinIndia @NWRailways pic.twitter.com/19WEWBtkCZ — Rajat Dadhich (@rajatsharmararo) June 14, 2024

    However, this did not go well with the Congress party. “These unreserved people who enter the reserved compartment do not travel by in the toilet on their own will. The government has converted sleeper and second-class coaches into AC coaches. People do not have enough money to travel in AC. Along with this, the number of passenger trains has also been reduced. Don’t use force on people and instead correct your mistake,” said Congress to Vaishnaw.

    This is not any 3rd or 2nd AC, this is the first AC coach of Poorva Express, (waiting in general and sleeper) people did not spare even this, those who are travelling by paying money for first ac, how will they come and go, you tell me?? The 50% reduction in general and sleeper coaches will affect passengers of every class… pic.twitter.com/Zm2qdn9QNx — MM Dhera(Attorney at Law) (@AdvocateDhera) May 30, 2024

    Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also posed serious questions to the Railways and the government. “Why has travelling by train in the normal Sleeper Class become very expensive? Why has the number of Sleeper Coaches been reduced? Last year 2.7 crore people had to cancel their tickets due to acute shortage of seats – a direct result of the Modi government’s policy of reducing the number of coaches,” said Kharge.

    Whenever a train accident occurs, the current Railway Minister reaches the accident site equipped with cameras and behaves as if everything is fine. @narendramodi ji, tell me who should be held accountable, the Railway Minister or you?

    We have 7 questions – which the Modi government will have to answer!… — Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) June 18, 2024

    Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared that the number of trains needs to increase by 3,000 every day to accommodate waitlisted passengers. However, that would be possible only by 2032 when the railways would be able to upgrade their infrastructure and put extra lines on their map.

    So till then, if you are travelling on a train with an unconfirmed ticket, then you might get deboarded by the security officials.
