			<title>Meta to brief Govt on policy, technical issues NEW DELHI: Meta has agreed to appear before the government to clarify policy and technical issues related to its operations, ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) secretary S Krishnan said on Thursday.Krishnan said the company would engage with the government to explain concerns surrounding its policies and technical framework.Krishnan said the government has asked Meta to depute its senior-most representatives to explain the issues flagged by the authorities and provide clarity on both the policy and technical aspects of the matter.&#8221;Meta, we have asked them to come in at the highest level and explain what is happening and why the kind of issues that we see&#8230;,&#8221; Krishnan was quoted as saying by ANI.According to Krishnan, Meta has also informed the government that it introduced new protocols on July 28 for handling accounts of prominent individuals to prevent similar incidents from recurring.&#8221;Meta has written to government expressing regret over the incident and that it had happened. They have also given us the reasons, their understanding of the reason why it happened and they have also indicated that as of 28th of July, they have established new protocols relating to accounts of prominent persons to avoid such a situation from recurring.&#8221; He said the government wants to understand the concerns from both policy and technical perspectives and assess how the company can adapt its practices to address India&#8217;s concerns.Krishnan said the government is examining the matter and has sought inputs from several messaging platforms as part of its assessment. He added that Meta has written to the government expressing regret over the incident and explaining its understanding of the reasons behind it.When asked about the timeline for Meta&#8217;s representatives to appear before the government, he said, &#8220;I think within the next week, ten days. We are examining that. We have got the views of a number of the platforms, messaging platforms,&#8221; he said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines&#8221;We are examining. We have got we have got the views of a number of the platforms, messaging platforms,&#8221; Krishnan said on WhatsApp issue. The development follows a recent technical glitch on the platform. On Tuesday, Meta said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s Facebook video on action against examination paper leaks was inadvertently removed due to a technical error. The video was later restored after being briefly unavailable.&#8221;The content was removed in error and has since been restored,&#8221; a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. In the video, PM Modi assured students that the government would introduce stricter measures to tackle examination paper leaks. He said the proposed reforms would be taken up by the Union Cabinet before being introduced in Parliament.The video was released amid nationwide protests over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG examination.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NEW DELHI: Senior advocate Harish Salve on Wednesday said criticism aimed at &#8220;keep[ing] the government in control&#8221; is essential in a democracy, but urged people not to &#8220;denigrate India&#8221; in today&#8217;s world of social media.Speaking about the turmoil in the Western world, particularly in Europe, the former solicitor general said that despite its internal challenges, the West remains united in resisting India&#8217;s rise, which he said it still views as &#8220;a third-world country&#8221;. &#8220;Trenchant criticisms within India of the government and its institutions is necessary to keep the government in control. But we should be very careful. Whatever we say, whatever we do in today&#8217;s world of social media, do not denigrate India as a nation. Always remember, &#8216;Sare Jahan Se Achcha Hindustan Humara&#8217;,&#8221; Salve was quoted as saying by the news agency ANI.Speaking at the AK Sen Memorial Lecture and Photograph Unveiling Ceremony organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), Salve said holding those in power accountable is necessary in a constitutional democracy.&#8221;One thing, as someone who resides outside India, is that India today is looked at with a great sense of respect. The Western world is in turmoil as we see every day. Europe feels orphaned. US is making people wonder whether it ever had a Constitution. But they unite when it comes to resisting India&#8217;s ascent. They still find it hard to accept that a country of not white people, a country which they call a third-world country, is aspiring to be a leader of the world, has become the fourth largest economy in the world,&#8221; Salve was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.The event marked the unveiling of a portrait of late Senior Advocate and former Union law minister AK Sen in Library No. 1 of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant joined Salve in unveiling the photograph.Several senior members of the legal fraternity attended the ceremony. SCBA President and Senior Advocate Vikas Singh paid tribute to Sen&#8217;s contribution to the legal profession, while Attorney General for India R. Venkataramani also spoke about his legacy.Addressing the gathering, Chief Justice Surya Kant described Sen as a distinguished lawyer, scholar and statesman whose career reflected a lifelong commitment to justice and public service. He said the portrait would honour Sen&#8217;s contribution while inspiring future generations of advocates.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines&#8221;Today, we are not merely adorning our Library with a fitting tribute; we are enshrining in these walls the spirit of a life devoted to justice, intellect and public service&#8230; For every Advocate who passes through the Library, this portrait would be a silent reminder that our calling transcends personal ambition, that the practice of law and the stewardship of justice are sacred trusts in service of the Republic,&#8221; the Chief Justice said.He added that the portrait should remind young lawyers of the values expected from members of the legal profession.&#8221;A young lawyer rushing to Court with a first brief may pass this portrait. I hope the portrait will ask the more important questions that Mr Sen no doubt asked himself sometimes: Have I prepared enough? Have I been fair to the Court and to my opponent? Have I used the law to clarify, or merely to complicate?&#8230; May his presence here remind us that brilliance without balance is incomplete; that office without service is transient; and that law without humanity is barren,&#8221; the Chief Justice said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Sonam Wangchuk NEW DELHI: Scientist and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk on Thursday praised the Indian Railways but took a veiled swipe at the Centre, urging it to honour the commitments made to students during the Jantar Mantar protest.Sharing a video on social media, Wangchuk wrote, &#8220;m proud of Indian Railways. Want to be proud of Indian (govt) promises too.&#8221;  Watch Wangchuk Calls for &#8220;Humility&#8221; as CJP Celebration Videos Go Viral, Saurav Das Clarifies DebateIn the video, Wangchuk described the railways as his favourite mode of transport and said he would travel to Ladakh by train. He also praised the Vande Bharat service between Delhi and Srinagar, calling it a pleasant journey.Referring to the ongoing debate in Parliament over the NEET-UG paper leak, Wangchuk welcomed the discussion and urged the government to fulfil the written assurances it had given to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and student protesters.&#8221;Do not file FIRs and honour the trust of the youth,&#8221; he said, urging the government to fulfil the commitments it had made to the student protesters.Earlier this week, Wangchuk paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat before leaving for Ladakh. Addressing reporters, he said the movement had once again proved the relevance of Gandhi&#8217;s philosophy of non-violent resistance.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesCongratulating the organisers and participants, Wangchuk said the agitation succeeded because it remained peaceful despite police action.The activist was discharged from Gurugram&#8217;s Medanta Hospital on Monday after being shifted there from Delhi&#8217;s Safdarjung Hospital on court orders. He had been admitted to Safdarjung Hospital on July 18 after being taken there by police.The 36-day student-led agitation, spearheaded by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), ended on Saturday after the Centre accepted several key demands.These included the resignation of former Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the formation of a committee to recommend reforms to the National Testing Agency (NTA), withdrawal of cases against peaceful protesters, and an assurance that no punitive action would be taken against students who participated in the movement.Wangchuk, who joined the protest on June 28 and observed a 26-day fast before being hospitalised, formally ended his fast after the government&#8217;s announcement accepting the demands.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Nitin Gadkari said that the ethanol blending has been increased progressively in a calibrated manner NEW DELHI: Petroleum ministry has introduced the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme through a “phased, scientifically validated and consultative process”, road transport minister Nitin Gadkari informed Lok Sabha on Thursday. He added that the ethanol blending has been increased progressively in a calibrated manner after creating the necessary production capacity, infrastructure and regulatory framework.In response to a question, the minister said, “The transition to E20 was undertaken only after successful validation of fuel systems, engine durability, drivability, material compatibility, emissions performance and consumer acceptance.” He added that the E20 programme has been developed through an extensive consultative and phased implementation process. Automobile manufacturers, component manufacturers, SIAM, ARAI, vehicle testing agencies, Oil Marketing Companies, ethanol producers, sugar and grain industries and other stakeholders were associated at every stage of policy formulation and implementation.He said laboratory studies, field validation and real-world operating experience have not established adverse impact on vehicle performance due to E20 fuel. “This is evident from the fact that E15+ blended petrol has been in widespread use for over three-and-a-half years and E19-E20 fuel for over two-and-a-half years. More than 20 crore two-wheelers and over 3 crore petrol cars have been operating on these blends without any verified evidence of widespread engine failure or vehicle breakdown attributable to ethanol blending,” Gadkari said.As per the reply, manufacturer service data have also confirmed that there is no abnormal corrosion, wear or reduction in vehicle life due to E20 fuel, and automobile manufacturers continue to honour warranty obligations for vehicles using specification-compliant E20 fuel. Recently, a major vehicle manufacturer had reported servicing 2.84 crore vehicles during FY 2025–26, including about 1.5 crore legacy vehicles, without finding any E20-linked engine damage, abnormal corrosion or reduction in component life. A leading two-wheeler manufacturer has similarly reported no higher incidence of damage in E20-operated vehicles.On the issue mileage loss, the reply said studies by govt agencies and automobile manufacturers indicate that reduction in fuel efficiency in certain E10-designed vehicles is limited to about 2-6%. However, this is influenced by several factors, including driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle maintenance.The minister also said that public sector OMCs have informed that currently normal petrol sold at their retail outlets across the country is E20. “Since E0 or E10 petrol is not marketed at retail outlets, separate display of lower ethanol blends or printing of ethanol percentage on customer receipts has not been considered necessary,” he added.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesOn Wednesday, in a written reply to another question in Rajya Sabha, Gadkari had informed that BS-III vehicles, manufactured between 2005 and 2016, may require replacement of some rubber parts and gaskets when operated on E20 petrol, while adding studies have found no major impact of the blended fuel on overall vehicle performance.The transition to E20 was undertaken only after successful validation of fuel systems, engine durability, drivability, material compatibility, emissions performance and consumer acceptance. “These studies confirmed that even legacy vehicles did not exhibit any significant variations in performance, nor do they show abnormal wear-and-tear when operated with E20 fuel. No issues were reported in parameters such as drivability, startability, metal compatibility, and plastic compatibility,” he had said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
