The Union road transport ministry has said that no deduction of tax at source (TDS) shall be made on such compensation payments, seeking compliance with this norm by all NH-owning agencies. During the 2025-26 financial year, around Rs 20,000 crore was disbursed for acquisition of over 10,000 hectares for highway development by different agencies. In a circular issued to NH agencies, including NHAI, road transport ministry said that compensation disbursed on acquisition of land under NH Act in cases where such compensation is determined as per provisions of land acquisition law of 2013 will be “treated as exempt” from levy of income tax under the law. The letter has referred to a circular of Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) of Oct 25, 2016, and Section 402 of Income Tax Act, 2025, which clarify that compensation received under awards exempted under land acquisition law of 2013 shall not be taxable, even in absence of a specific provision.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVikram Misri Holds Key Talks With French FM, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Bilateral TiesMEA Responds As 15 Indian Ships Remain Stranded Amid Trump’s Hormuz BlockadeUS Naval Blockade on Iran: Why Strait of Hormuz Tensions Could Hit India’s Oil, LPG and InflationTCS Nashik In Eye Of Storm As Women Allege Harassment, Conversion Pressure At Workplace’We Have Common Fate’: Iran Envoy Thanks ‘Friend’ India, Responds On Hormuz Toll RowSupreme Court Refuses To Quash CBI Case Against Lalu Yadav In Land-For-Jobs Scam, Trial To ContinueNoida Protests Explained: Pay Gap Rising Costs And Labour Issues Behind The ViolenceTrust Deficit Grows In Ladakh As Activist Sonam Wangchuk Flags Delay In Talks With CentrePatna Posters Push Nishant Kumar As Next Chief Minister Of BiharDelhi To Dehradun In 2.5 Hours?

Foreign minister Shishir Khanal said, “The Nepal govt has accepted the invitation, and the foreign ministries of both countries are now making preparations for the visit.” He indicated that the trip to New Delhi will be Shah’s first major diplomatic outreach since taking office. The last official visit by a Nepali PM to India was made by Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” in June 2023. Meanwhile, introducing a raft of changes, the new govt in Kathmandu has proposed cutting the number of federal ministries, banning political affiliations for sections of the state machinery and replacing party-linked student bodies with non-partisan platforms. The reform plan takes direct aim at political influence in education and the civil service. Under the new mandate, party-affiliated student organisations in schools and universities are to be dismantled within 90 days and replaced with non-partisan student councils or “Voice of students” platforms. Announcing the move, Shah said, “Schools and colleges will no longer serve as arenas for political activity but will function solely as centres of learning.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVikram Misri Holds Key Talks With French FM, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Bilateral TiesMEA Responds As 15 Indian Ships Remain Stranded Amid Trump’s Hormuz BlockadeUS Naval Blockade on Iran: Why Strait of Hormuz Tensions Could Hit India’s Oil, LPG and InflationTCS Nashik In Eye Of Storm As Women Allege Harassment, Conversion Pressure At Workplace’We Have Common Fate’: Iran Envoy Thanks ‘Friend’ India, Responds On Hormuz Toll RowSupreme Court Refuses To Quash CBI Case Against Lalu Yadav In Land-For-Jobs Scam, Trial To ContinueNoida Protests Explained: Pay Gap Rising Costs And Labour Issues Behind The ViolenceTrust Deficit Grows In Ladakh As Activist Sonam Wangchuk Flags Delay In Talks With CentrePatna Posters Push Nishant Kumar As Next Chief Minister Of BiharDelhi To Dehradun In 2.5 Hours?

According to ship-tracking data from Kpler, Felicity, a very large crude carrier carrying about two million barrels of oil, anchored off Sikka on Gujarat’s coast late on Sunday. A second tanker, Jaya, also carrying a similar volume of crude, anchored near Paradip off the Odisha coast around the same time. Both Felicity and Jaya were loaded at Kharg Island, Iran’s biggest seaport that handles nearly 90% of the country’s oil exports. While Felicity lifted cargo in mid-March, Jaya was loaded in late Feb, before military tensions between the US-Israel combine and Iran escalated. The shipping ministry, however, said that it was not aware of the two vessels.

These capabilities are critical for modern naval platforms, particularly missile vessels that require agility and precision in demanding maritime environments.The contract has been awarded in collaboration with Cochin Shipyard Ltd, where the vessels are currently under construction. The NGMV programme is a Rs 9,805 crore initiative by the Indian Navy to acquire six advanced, high-speed stealth corvettes for anti-surface warfare. These vessels will act as primary strike platforms armed with 8 BrahMos missiles, 24 VL-SRSAM missiles, and advanced surveillance systems to boost sea-denial capability.A spokesperson for Cochin Shipyard said: “We are pleased to collaborate with Kongsberg Maritime for the supply of the waterjet propulsion system… Kongsberg Maritime has been a valued and reliable partner to CSL across several commercial projects in the past, and the association has been marked by strong technical cooperation and mutual confidence. We look forward to Kongsberg delivering a high-quality and reliable system in line with exacting standards required for this important project.”This contract is Kongsberg’s largest single waterjet order to date and signals a strong return to large waterjet manufacturing after a relatively quiet period over the past decade.Anders Valkeinen, vice-president, high-speed craft at Kongsberg Maritime, said: “This is a milestone project and a testament to the trust placed in our waterjet technology for demanding naval applications. Our Kamewa waterjets will deliver the speed, agility and reliability required for these advanced missile vessels.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVikram Misri Holds Key Talks With French FM, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Bilateral TiesMEA Responds As 15 Indian Ships Remain Stranded Amid Trump’s Hormuz BlockadeUS Naval Blockade on Iran: Why Strait of Hormuz Tensions Could Hit India’s Oil, LPG and InflationTCS Nashik In Eye Of Storm As Women Allege Harassment, Conversion Pressure At Workplace’We Have Common Fate’: Iran Envoy Thanks ‘Friend’ India, Responds On Hormuz Toll RowSupreme Court Refuses To Quash CBI Case Against Lalu Yadav In Land-For-Jobs Scam, Trial To ContinueNoida Protests Explained: Pay Gap Rising Costs And Labour Issues Behind The ViolenceTrust Deficit Grows In Ladakh As Activist Sonam Wangchuk Flags Delay In Talks With CentrePatna Posters Push Nishant Kumar As Next Chief Minister Of BiharDelhi To Dehradun In 2.5 Hours?

Saying over 30,000 people from Nandigram were employed in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha, Adhikari singled out Muslims and said they “could not afford to make a mistake”. “There are 30,000 migrant workers… In Gujarat, 1,100 Muslim young men from Nandigram reside; 800 in Odisha; and 3,300 in Maharashtra. Whose govt is there in Odisha? Whose govt is there in Maharashtra? Whose govt is in Gujarat? BJP’s! Don’t make a mistake! Mend your ways… so that there are no problems after May 4 (the day of counting). You can give threatening looks and say ‘Joy Bangla’, but I am writing down everything,” he said. The remarks drew criticism from TMC. Its Nandigram candidate, Pabitra Kar, while campaigning, said Adhikari’s politics were based only on “threats and intimidation”. “As an elected representative, it is his responsibility that everyone in his constituency lives in peace. He has done exactly the opposite. But Nandigram residents will reply to his threats in the EVM,” Kar told TOI. A Trinamool spokesperson said the party will report the matter to EC. Meanwhile, an analysis by Kolkata-based public policy research organisation Sabar Institute said Muslims made up 95.5% of names deleted from Nandigram’s voter rolls in SIR, even though they account for about 25% of the constituency’s population. Only 4.5% of those removed were non-Muslims, it said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVikram Misri Holds Key Talks With French FM, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Bilateral TiesMEA Responds As 15 Indian Ships Remain Stranded Amid Trump’s Hormuz BlockadeUS Naval Blockade on Iran: Why Strait of Hormuz Tensions Could Hit India’s Oil, LPG and InflationTCS Nashik In Eye Of Storm As Women Allege Harassment, Conversion Pressure At Workplace’We Have Common Fate’: Iran Envoy Thanks ‘Friend’ India, Responds On Hormuz Toll RowSupreme Court Refuses To Quash CBI Case Against Lalu Yadav In Land-For-Jobs Scam, Trial To ContinueNoida Protests Explained: Pay Gap Rising Costs And Labour Issues Behind The ViolenceTrust Deficit Grows In Ladakh As Activist Sonam Wangchuk Flags Delay In Talks With CentrePatna Posters Push Nishant Kumar As Next Chief Minister Of BiharDelhi To Dehradun In 2.5 Hours?

Roy said his comments had been misinterpreted. The authenticity of the video could not be verified. The video, shared by Trinamool Congress on social media, showed Roy referring to Mahatma Gandhi as a “deshdrohi” (traitor). Trinamool senior functionaries, Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja, citing Roy’s comment, said BJP had dishonoured national and Bengal icons. Ghosh said that it was no wonder that a BJP candidate would make derogatory remarks against Gandhi because BJP “is a party of the worshippers of Nathuram Godse (Gandhi’s assassin)”. Panja accused BJP of disrespecting India’s history and the legacy of the freedom struggle, adding that the controversy showed “BJP’s political culture and mindset”. Roy maintained that only a small part of his speech had been circulated without context as part of a ploy to spread confusion about him and that he had immense respect for Gandhi.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVikram Misri Holds Key Talks With French FM, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Bilateral TiesMEA Responds As 15 Indian Ships Remain Stranded Amid Trump’s Hormuz BlockadeUS Naval Blockade on Iran: Why Strait of Hormuz Tensions Could Hit India’s Oil, LPG and InflationTCS Nashik In Eye Of Storm As Women Allege Harassment, Conversion Pressure At Workplace’We Have Common Fate’: Iran Envoy Thanks ‘Friend’ India, Responds On Hormuz Toll RowSupreme Court Refuses To Quash CBI Case Against Lalu Yadav In Land-For-Jobs Scam, Trial To ContinueNoida Protests Explained: Pay Gap Rising Costs And Labour Issues Behind The ViolenceTrust Deficit Grows In Ladakh As Activist Sonam Wangchuk Flags Delay In Talks With CentrePatna Posters Push Nishant Kumar As Next Chief Minister Of BiharDelhi To Dehradun In 2.5 Hours?
