Amazon Soy Moratorium: Amazon soy pact collapse could drive 1.4 million hectares of deforestation in Brazil by 2036, new study finds

For nearly two decades, a handshake agreement saved the Amazon from the chainsaws. Soy traders promised not to finance cropland carved out of deforested Amazon territory after 2008, and it worked.Deforestation-linked soy expansion fell from one-third of annual growth to nearly nothing. It was, by any measure, a rare victory for voluntary corporate restraint. However,…

A 31-year-old woman from Noida was found hanging at her husband’s house in Bhopal, news agency PTI reported. Twisha Sharma, the daughter-in-law of a retired judge was found hanging at city’s Katara Hills area on Tuesday night. NEW DELHI: The mother-in-law of Noida woman Twisha Sharma, who was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal, has on Monday levelled big charges against her parents and her mental health.Twisha (33) was found dead at her husband’s home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12, just five months after marrying Samarth Singh, a lawyer, in December 2025. Her family has alleged that she was subjected to mental torture and dowry harassment by her husband and in-laws and have claimed she was murdered.The case took a dramatic turn on Monday after Twisha’s mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, painted a sharply different picture of the events leading to the woman’s death.In a press conference, Giribala Singh claimed that Twisha had been undergoing psychiatric counselling and was prescribed medicines “given to a schizophrenic patient”. She also alleged that Twisha showed “withdrawal symptoms”, including trembling hands. In a big charge, she said: “Twisha confessed to consuming large quantities of marijuana during pregnancy”.”She went for psychiatric counselling also, and medicines were prescribed to her, which are given to a schizophrenic patient… She would remain stable for a day or so, but then again, there would be a slight change in her condition,” she claimed.The retired judge also rejected allegations of dowry harassment, saying the family had tried to save Twisha after she was found hanging. “We gave Twisha CPR and even neighbours tried to save her. We tried our best to save Twisha,” she said.She further accused Twisha’s parents of neglecting their daughter and exploiting her financially. “Twisha’s parents pushed her into the glamour world at an early age and later disowned her. They were earning because of her looks and are now not allowing her cremation. I have faith in the investigating agencies and in the truth,” she said.These same claims were also made in the bail plea filed for husband Samarth Singh. According to the application, she would become irritable when she did not have access to narcotic substances and had been receiving psychiatric care. The plea also claimed that she had suffered a miscarriage and that her behaviour towards her in-laws changed after becoming pregnant.A local court in Bhopal, which had earlier granted anticipatory bail to Giribala Singh, reserved its order on Monday on Samarth Singh’s bail plea. Samarth remains absconding.Police said six teams have been deployed to trace him and a reward of Rs 10,000 has been announced for information leading to his arrest.Speaking to ANI, assistant commissioner of police Rajneesh Kashyap Kaul said authorities have also contacted the passport office to prevent the accused from fleeing the country.”A reward of Rs 10,000 has been announced in the case. Several teams have been deployed to catch the accused Samarth Singh,” the officer said.The police have constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case. According to ACP Kashyap, the preliminary post-mortem report from AIIMS Bhopal indicated death due to “hanging suicide”.He said no findings related to alleged drug use had emerged in the post-mortem report so far. “In the bail petition, allegations regarding Twisha being a drug addict have been mentioned, but we are strictly investigating the case according to the sections in the FIR,” he told PTI.Meanwhile, Twisha’s family has refused to accept the body and is demanding a second post-mortem, preferably at AIIMS Delhi, claiming that the local investigation has been compromised.Her father, Navnidhi Sharma, questioned why the body should be handed over when the case remains “dubious”.”The PM report and evidence do not match. This is the reason we have applied for second postmortem. We want the government to take cognizance. This is a high-profile family. We have lost any hope for justice,” he said.According to her relatives, Twisha had wanted to leave Bhopal and return to Noida and had remained in touch with them until around 10 pm on the day of her death.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Upcoming winter session  NEW DELHI: Tribal councils and community leaders from across the Northeast on Thursday mounted a coordinated push for long-pending Sixth Schedule reforms and full implementation of the 2020 Bodo Accord, using an ABSU-led national seminar in Delhi to urge the union government to table the constitutional amendment in the upcoming winter session of Parliament.The deliberation brought together autonomous district councils, legal experts and legislators which opened with tributes to Bodofa Upendranath Brahma and remarks by chairperson Prof Ramesh Bhardwaj.‘Abandoned Tribals To Their Fate’: PM Modi Accuses Congress Of Neglecting Tribal CommunitiesABSU president Dipen Boro said reforms linked to Article 280 and the Sixth Schedule would determine “how councils receive funds, exercise powers and function at the village and municipal levels.” While some Bodo Accord commitments have progressed, he said key areas – restructuring of the Bodoland Territorial Council, land rights, village bodies and utilisation of the Special Development Package – remain pending. “The next step must now come through Parliament,” he said, appealing for the amendment to be introduced this session.Recalling decades of conflict and negotiation, former BTR chief executive member Pramod Boro urged Parliament to take up the 125th Amendment Bill in the winter session, saying an accord must be honoured “as a commitment made to citizens.”Tripura minister Sukla Charan Noatia said the issues raised apply to all ten autonomous councils in the region, adding that Tripura’s 2019 proposal for an upgraded Sixth Schedule arrangement “remains pending despite carrying the expectations of our people.” With tribal communities forming roughly one-third of the state’s population, he said stronger constitutional backing is essential for long-term stability and development.Former Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council leader Titosstarwell Chyne said assurances from the centre have not translated into visible progress, leaving councils “concerned and disappointed.” A collective Northeast platform, he said, was necessary to ensure tribal regions are not sidelined in national decision-making.Senior advocate Vijay Hansaria stressed that the Bodo Accord “cannot remain a document for display,” calling for clear action on administrative powers, financial autonomy and village-level governance. He said many councils still struggle due to unstable funding and delayed policy decisions.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.
