‘The ocean keeps every secret, but charges salt for storage’ A fisherman in Kochi pulls in his net before sunrise. The catch is ordinary, but the sea behind it is not. It has carried centuries of storms, shipwrecks, drowned cargo, and human silence. None of it is returned in the same form.The proverb “The ocean…

Representational image NEW DELHI: In a move that could bring relief to people in transferable jobs and on contractual assignments, road transport ministry has proposed to extend to three years the period for which a vehicle can be kept in another state without re-registration. The proposal – part of draft amendments to Motor Vehicles Act for “ease of living” – was presented to an informal Group of Ministers (iGoM) last week.At present, Section 47 of the law mandates that if a vehicle registered in one state remains in another for more than a year, its owner must apply for fresh registration in the new state.”The proposal aims at helping people who plan to come back to their home state after 2-3 years of completing an assignment. Re-registration of a vehicle in a new state and revoking it after returning to home state is a hassle for people,” said an official.The move will complement the Bharat (BH) series registration, which allows eligible car owners to drive across all states and UTs without re-registration.Abhay Damle, a former joint secretary (transport), pointed out that it addresses only part of the problem. “The larger issue is the wide disparity in road tax across states.””The solution lies in harmonising road tax rates across states, supported by a seamless transfer process through the Vahan portal and a transparent mechanism for pro-rata transfer of road tax between states,” he said.In another move, the ministry has proposed a new section in the law mandating states to appoint adjudicating authorities for compounding penalties and establish electronic means within six months. This has been proposed due to decriminalisation of several provisions, enabling adjudication of penalties by executive authorities, rather than the courts.Get the latest India news and live updates.

‘Even the sun negotiates with dust to make a shadow’ Stand outside in the late afternoon and watch a tree cast its long shadow across the pavement. Nothing about that shadow feels dramatic at first glance. Yet it exists only because something is in the way—dust in the air, uneven surfaces on the ground, particles…

Representational image SRINAGAR/JAMMU: J&K police searched Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan’s office in Jammu and a publisher’s office in Noida as investigators widened Monday a probe into two books allegedly carrying separatist and anti-national content that were supplied to govt school libraries, sharpening a political row over lapses in scrutiny while triggering a debate over censorship.Counter-intelligence teams questioned Samagra Shiksha director and other officials at Channi Himmat on Jammu’s outskirts, while another team searched a publisher’s office in Noida. Police made no arrests and issued no official statement.Officials said searches were aimed at finding how the two books reached school libraries before content scrutiny was completed.According to an education official, four sub-committees of academicians and experts were set up to select books after library grants were received under Centre’s Samagra Shiksha scheme. They shortlisted 463 titles submitted by 364 publishers.Department scrutiny later flagged “highly inappropriate content” in “Personalities and Legends of J&K” by Hilal Ahmad and Santosh Meena, published by Jammu-based Oberoi Book Service, and “Great Personalities of Jammu and Kashmir” by Sushant Giri, published by New Delhi-based Anurag Prakashan.By then, 123 copies of the first book had reached schools in Jammu, Ramban and Udhampur, while 128 copies of the second had been supplied to schools in Jammu and Baramulla before both were withdrawn.LG Manoj Sinha’s administration withdrew both books from school libraries on July 4, suspended eight school education officials and ordered a high-level inquiry. CID registered an FIR under various sections of BNS and UAPA.BJP, Congress and other parties flagged alleged lapses. J&K Peoples’ Forum alleged “Personalities and Legends…” used terms such as “India-occupied Kashmir” and described banned JKLF founder Maqbool Bhat as “Shaheed-e-Azam”. Bhat was hanged in Tihar jail on Feb 11, 1984, after conviction for killing a CID inspector.Pushing back against calls for censorship, Kashmir’s chief cleric and Hurriyat Conference chairperson Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said banning books, ideas or organisations “doesn’t work”.“Kashmiris are proud of their civilizational legacy… You cannot ban everything written before 2019,” he said Monday. “I don’t think banning books works. If you ban books, what kind of message are you giving to society?”On Aug 5 last year, sixth anniversary of Article 370’s abrogation, J&K home department banned publication and circulation of 25 books, saying they promoted a “false narrative” and “secessionism” in the Union territory.Get the latest India news and live updates.
