David Harbour in ‘Stranger Things’ as Jim Hopper We often stop ourselves from expressing ourselves to the fullest because it can often backfire. Someone may criticise what we have to share, or maybe someone may make fun of us. These types of fear somehow start dictating our lives to the point where we forget to…

PTI File Photo After days of uncertainty over the fate of Indian mango exports, Nepal has clarified that no ban has been imposed on shipments from India and that imports are continuing in line with prescribed phytosanitary regulations.This marks a reversal of earlier reports suggesting restrictions on Indian mangoes over pesticide residue and quarantine concerns.The ministry of agriculture and farmers welfare, citing Nepal’s plant quarantine and pesticide management center (National plant protection organization of Nepal), said on Wednesday, “no ban has been imposed on the import of Indian mangoes.””Imports continue to be permitted subject to prescribed phytosanitary requirements. Import permits and release orders are being issued upon compliance with these requirements and submission of valid phytosanitary certificates issued by the Government of India,” the ministry’s statement said.It also described earlier reports of a ban as ‘factually incorrect and misleading’. Exports of Indian mangoes to Nepal have continued without interruption. “Since January 2026, a total of 149 consignments comprising 2005 MT of mangoes have been exported to Nepal. During June 2026 alone, 18 consignments totalling 266 MT have been exported so far,” according to the statement.Additionally, Nepal also explained that the measures were implemented following a Pest Risk Analysis (PRA), conducted in compliance with the plant quarantine and protection act of 2064.”This Centre’s attention has been drawn to news reports circulating in various media and social platforms claiming that a ban has been imposed on the import of Indian mangoes. As the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) of Nepal, this Centre regularly conducts Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) in the course of adopting biosecurity measures in accordance with the Plant Quarantine and Protection Act, 2064, and based on this, phytosanitary measures are being adopted to prevent the entry of high-risk pests”, it said, according to an ANI report.The clarification follows an incident in which a large consignment of Indian mangoes was temporarily stopped at the Bhittamod Quarantine Check Post in Nepal’s Madhes Province.However, the shipment was subsequently released after documentation requirements were fulfilled.”The consignment has now been released following the issuance of a plant health certificate from Indian authorities,” Manish Kumar Pal, spokesperson at the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives of Madhes Province, told PTI.The Nepalese ministry has recently revised certain import conditions, strengthening biosecurity measures to prevent the entry of pest-infected plants. The revised import conditions ensure that consignments are free from specific high-risk pests and mandatory treatment of mangoes in water at 48°C for one hour, a standard international protocol to eliminate larvae and pathogens.”India has conveyed its concerns regarding the introduction of new phytosanitary measures without prior consultation and is pursuing the matter through appropriate bilateral channels in accordance with the WTO SPS Agreement and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) framework,” agriculture ministry said.While locally grown Nepali mangoes are highly regarded for their quality, their production is limited to a short harvest window of around two months, making steady imports from India crucial to meeting consumer demand.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Image credit: PTI NEW DELHI: The Calcutta high court on Thursday granted interim protection from coercive action to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee in connection with a case involving the alleged forgery of signatures of newly elected TMC MLAs after the recent assembly elections.While granting interim relief, the court directed Banerjee to appear before the investigating agency at 6 pm on Thursday for questioning in the matter. However, the protection order ensures that no coercive action can be taken against him for the time being.The high court also observed that Banerjee cannot be compelled to produce the allegedly forged document. It said the investigating agency must obtain the document through the legal process of search and seizure rather than requiring him to submit it.What is the case about?After the TMC’s defeat in the West Bengal assembly elections, two factions emerged within the party, one backing Abhishek Banerjee, and another led by rebel MLAs Ritabrata Banerjee and Sandipan Saha.Abhishek Banerjee wrote to the Assembly Speaker recommending senior leader Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as Leader of the Opposition. A resolution purportedly signed by about 70 TMC MLAs was submitted to the Assembly Secretariat.On May 27, the two rebel MLAs told the Speaker that there was no meeting or resolution on May 6. They said they were only asked to sign a book on May 19, not any resolution. They also pointed out that at least 14 signatures were written in block letters rather than real cursive handwriting.The Assembly Secretariat filed an FIR. The case was later transferred to the CID. The CID has questioned at least 13 TMC MLAs, and at least three lawmakers have said the signatures linked to them are not real.Banerjee was summoned three times, on June 1, June 8 and June 9, but did not appear. His legal team said he was sick and in Delhi.On June 9, CID searched the TMC office located on the same premises as Mamata Banerjee’s Kalighat residence. Party leaders initially refused entry, leading to a brief standoff, but the search eventually went ahead.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Image credit: PTI NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Wednesday performed a special pooja at Rajinder Nagar to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi becoming India’s longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister.On June 10, Modi completed 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing the 4,398 days of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, to achieve the milestone.”History has been written today,” Chadha posted on X. “Pause for a moment and reflect on what this truly means.”The gesture comes just two months after Chadha defected to the BJP in April 2026, ending his 14-year association with the AAP. He was formerly an outspoken member of the AAP from 2012 to 2026.Prior to his switch, Chadha had been vocal in his criticism of the BJP, previously calling it a “party of illiterate goons” and a “patron of criminals.”Chadha posted on X saying, “Out of these 1.4 billion people, the same leader has been entrusted with the nation again, and again, and again. 2014. 2019. 2024. Three successive mandates from the people of India, each one a renewed act of faith,”He also compared Nehru’s leadership, contrasting the political landscapes of the two eras, noting that Nehru earned his mandate in an age of one-party dominance, while Modi has won in a far more demanding democracy of coalitions and fierce multi-party competition.”To command the trust of so fiercely contested a nation, mandate after mandate, is by any measure the harder achievement,” Chadha said.”On this historic occasion, I bow to the wisdom of the Indian voter and salute the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s tireless devotion to the nation,” he added, praying for Modi’s health and long life.Get the latest India news and live updates.
