Muslim shopkeepers here have expressed happiness after the Supreme Court extended its stay on an order mandating the display of names and phone numbers of shop owners on the Kanwar Yatra route until the next hearing on August 5.

Sanwar, who has been selling fruits near Haridwar's Singh Dwar for the past 30 years, said that most of his customers are Hindus and they never had any issues buying fruits from him. He said writing his name would only lead to customers avoiding his shop. "What benefit does the government gain from this? I don't understand," he said, adding that if the co...

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday that Goa transformed only after the BJP came to power, as it would have collapsed had the Congress continued to rule the coastal state. Addressing a press conference during his visit to the state on Saturday, Kiren Rijiju said it was only after the BJP came to power in Goa that the coastal state transformed with the help of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Ms Sitharaman, in her seventh Union Budget presentation, is likely to give tax incentives for new manufacturing facilities and encourage local procurement across sectors to create jobs. Discontent over job opportunities was seen as a key reason for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party, the BJP, failing to win a majority on its own in the general elections, and returning to power only with the support of allies. Whether Ms Sitharaman will announce tax relief for the middle class will be the most anticipated part in her Budget speech. The middle class got nothing in the pre-election interim Budget, and so their expectations are high. The budgeted fiscal deficit is 4.5 per cent, against 5.8 per cent in the last fiscal. The full Budget is expected to provide better-than-earlier fiscal deficit projections. Fiscal deficit is the difference between the government's expenditure and income. The Modi government has put a lot of focus on developing infrastructure. The government'...

The conversation with India regarding the allegations of a plot to assassinate a Khalistani terrorist in the US that involved an Indian government official has been “respectful” and “effective” because it's being held behind closed doors, according to Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor to the US president.

Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic in June last year, was extradited to the US on June 14. “We have had a constructive dialogue with India on this issue. And we have made it very clear where we stand on it and what we would like to see. And it's been respectful, and it has been effective, in my view, mostly because it is taking place behind closed doors,”Mr  Sullivan said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Friday responding to a question on allegations r...

A leopard was caught on CCTV cameras roaming around a shopping mall in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, sending the forest authorities into a tizzy, officials said. The CCTV footage, which went viral today, shows the feline wandering outside the main gate of Prozone Mall in the CIDCO N1 area of the city in the early hours of Wednesday, prompting forest officials to launch a search operation.

With the two-party system taking deep roots in Himachal Pradesh, and the Congress and the BJP coming to power alternately, the presence of Independents has been declining and, in a first, the assembly has no Independent MLAs in the state assembly. With victory in two out of three assembly by-elections, the strength of Congress has increased to 40. This is also the first time that a man and his wife - Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and his wife Kamlesh Thakur - would sit in the House. Kamlesh Thakur's win from the Dehra assembly seat has taken the number of women legislators in the state to two. In the 2022 assembly elections, three Independents - Hoshiyar Singh (Dehra), Ashish Sharma (Hamirpur). and KL Thakur (Nalagarh) - were elected but they resigned after voting for BJP candidate Harsh Mahajan in the Rajya Sabha election on February 27. The Independent MLAs resigned on March 22 and joined the BJP the next day. Their resignation was accepted by Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pat...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asked trainee IAS officers to provide the best possible governance and quality of life to citizens as he said that 'New India' is not satisfied with a lackadaisical approach and demands pro-activeness. It is their choice, he told them, whether they will act as speed-breakers or superfast highways in service delivery. The saturation approach pursued by his government to reach out to every entitled beneficiary of welfare schemes ensures social justice and prevents discrimination, he said according to a statement. He told the trainee officers of the 2022 batch that they should aspire to be catalytic agents, and they will feel satisfaction when they see change happening in front of their eyes. Talking about schemes like 'Lakhpati Didi', 'Drone Didi' and 'PM Awas Yojana', he said all of them should work with a saturation approach to take these schemes further to people.

The Supreme Court on Monday held that bail conditions allowing an investigating agency to continuously track the movements of an accused violate the right to privacy guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.
