We are very clear in our minds. No activity will be permitted without us getting the report and satisfying us about the protective umbrella that needs to be put.”On Dec 29 last year, a bench led by CJI Kant had taken suo motu cognisance of the uproarious concern expressed by environmentalists over Supreme Court’s Nov 20 judgment accepting the 100-metre elevation definition for Aravali hills. It had ordered all mining activities and grant of renewal or new mining leases in the Aravali region be stopped.Indefinitely keeping in abeyance the operation of Supreme Court’s Nov 20 judgment, the bench in its order had then said, “This stay shall remain in effect until the present proceedings reach a state of logical finality, ensuring that no irreversible administrative or ecological actions are taken based on the current framework.”The CJI-led bench had proposed to set up a committee of domain experts for an “exhaustive, holistic and scientific” examination of Aravali hills and ranges for a comprehensive definition to protect its “structural and ecological” integrity.Amicus curiae and senior advocate Parameshwar informed the court that in consultation with govt, a list of domain experts has been submitted to the court. The bench said it would soon list the matter to constitute the committee after hearing the parties.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Not An Iota Of Truth’: PM Modi Rubbishes Report Of Restriction On Foreign Travel28 Hostages From Kuki, Naga Communities Held By Armed Groups Released In Manipur’I Am Sorry To…’: Shashi Tharoor To Skip VD Satheesan’s Swearing-In As Kerala CMNEET UG 2026 Re-Exam On June 21, Computer-Based Test Format From Next Year: Education MinisterOman To Gujarat: India Fast-Tracks Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline Project Amid Hormuz CrisisCJI Surya Kant Makes Strong Remarks During Senior Advocate HearingKerala CM-Designate Satheesan Hits Back At BJP Over IUML, Secularism DebateFormer RAW Chief Flags Security Risks Over PM Modi’s Convoy DownsizingTMC MP Derek O’Brien Slams Centre After Petrol-Diesel Hike, Targets Modi Government’Bhojshala Complex Is A Temple, Hindus Have Right To Worship’: MP High Court123Photostories10 baby girl names that mean strong in different languagesEating every two hours?

Responding to a media report that said govt was considering a tax, cess or surcharge on foreign travel, Modi wrote on X, “There is no question of putting such restrictions on foreign travel. We remain committed to improving ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and ‘Ease of Living’ for our people.” The PM’s move underlined his resolve to stop any rumour that conveys an impression of panic about the state of economy from gaining ground after he made an appeal to people to conserve fuel, defer non-essential foreign trips and not buy gold for a year to save India’s forex reserves.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Not An Iota Of Truth’: PM Modi Rubbishes Report Of Restriction On Foreign Travel28 Hostages From Kuki, Naga Communities Held By Armed Groups Released In Manipur’I Am Sorry To…’: Shashi Tharoor To Skip VD Satheesan’s Swearing-In As Kerala CMNEET UG 2026 Re-Exam On June 21, Computer-Based Test Format From Next Year: Education MinisterOman To Gujarat: India Fast-Tracks Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline Project Amid Hormuz CrisisCJI Surya Kant Makes Strong Remarks During Senior Advocate HearingKerala CM-Designate Satheesan Hits Back At BJP Over IUML, Secularism DebateFormer RAW Chief Flags Security Risks Over PM Modi’s Convoy DownsizingTMC MP Derek O’Brien Slams Centre After Petrol-Diesel Hike, Targets Modi Government’Bhojshala Complex Is A Temple, Hindus Have Right To Worship’: MP High Court123PhotostoriesKishwer Merchant recalls her father’s reaction to her interfaith marriage and age gap with Suyyash Rai; reacts to her son being trolled for wearing a skull capLauki vs Tori: Which has more nutrition for summer and 5 interesting ways to eat themAncient Kashmiri beauty secrets that are becoming popular again in IndiaFrom transparent bodies to underground lives: 5 bizarre frogs you’ve probably never heard of8 modern TV unit designs to instantly upgrade your living roomPersonality test: Mango, litchi, watermelon?

Also, Congress accused Modi govt of pushing the country’s jewellery sector towards “lockdown” through PM’s appeal that people avoid gold purchases, and through sharp increase in import duty on gold and silver.Rahul said, “The Rs 3 shock has already arrived, the rest of the recovery will be done in instalments.”CPM politburo condemned the move saying the hike would impose a greater burden on the people already reeling under inflation, unemployment and stagnant wages.Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the Centre is now seeking from the US an extension of 30-day waiver to buy Russian oil.Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a swipe at PM Modi’s call to conserve fuel, saying that the bicycle, SP’s official election symbol, was the only alternative.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Not An Iota Of Truth’: PM Modi Rubbishes Report Of Restriction On Foreign Travel28 Hostages From Kuki, Naga Communities Held By Armed Groups Released In Manipur’I Am Sorry To…’: Shashi Tharoor To Skip VD Satheesan’s Swearing-In As Kerala CMNEET UG 2026 Re-Exam On June 21, Computer-Based Test Format From Next Year: Education MinisterOman To Gujarat: India Fast-Tracks Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline Project Amid Hormuz CrisisCJI Surya Kant Makes Strong Remarks During Senior Advocate HearingKerala CM-Designate Satheesan Hits Back At BJP Over IUML, Secularism DebateFormer RAW Chief Flags Security Risks Over PM Modi’s Convoy DownsizingTMC MP Derek O’Brien Slams Centre After Petrol-Diesel Hike, Targets Modi Government’Bhojshala Complex Is A Temple, Hindus Have Right To Worship’: MP High Court123PhotostoriesKishwer Merchant recalls her father’s reaction to her interfaith marriage and age gap with Suyyash Rai; reacts to her son being trolled for wearing a skull capLauki vs Tori: Which has more nutrition for summer and 5 interesting ways to eat themAncient Kashmiri beauty secrets that are becoming popular again in IndiaFrom transparent bodies to underground lives: 5 bizarre frogs you’ve probably never heard of8 modern TV unit designs to instantly upgrade your living roomPersonality test: Mango, litchi, watermelon?

They affect transport costs, food inflation, manufacturing, logistics and household budgets. Containing fuel volatility is also about containing inflation,” BJP said, suggesting that the relatively small increase will not seriously impact inflation.The 3.2% increase in petrol price and 3.4% rise in diesel rate came even as major economies saw jump in fuel prices, BJP’s Amit Malviya said. The rise in petrol price was 44.5%, 9.7% and 19.2% in the US, Japan and the UK respectively, he said, listing the higher rise in other nations as well.

The arrests were made following extensive searches conducted on May 14 and 15 in MP, UP and Chhattisgarh. The ED has also issued a freezing order against the bank accounts and movable assets of Singhvahini Infra Projects Pvt Ltd and its directors for their alleged complicity in the fraud.“Investigation has revealed that the accused purporting to be authorised office bearers of the original SRMF, used forged powers of attorney, fabricated board resolutions, and counterfeited authorisation letters to unlawfully sell prime trust properties valued at hundreds of crores of rupees,” ED said. The Supreme Court had directed UP govt on Thursday to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the case.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Not An Iota Of Truth’: PM Modi Rubbishes Report Of Restriction On Foreign Travel28 Hostages From Kuki, Naga Communities Held By Armed Groups Released In Manipur’I Am Sorry To…’: Shashi Tharoor To Skip VD Satheesan’s Swearing-In As Kerala CMNEET UG 2026 Re-Exam On June 21, Computer-Based Test Format From Next Year: Education MinisterOman To Gujarat: India Fast-Tracks Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline Project Amid Hormuz CrisisCJI Surya Kant Makes Strong Remarks During Senior Advocate HearingKerala CM-Designate Satheesan Hits Back At BJP Over IUML, Secularism DebateFormer RAW Chief Flags Security Risks Over PM Modi’s Convoy DownsizingTMC MP Derek O’Brien Slams Centre After Petrol-Diesel Hike, Targets Modi Government’Bhojshala Complex Is A Temple, Hindus Have Right To Worship’: MP High Court123PhotostoriesKishwer Merchant recalls her father’s reaction to her interfaith marriage and age gap with Suyyash Rai; reacts to her son being trolled for wearing a skull capLauki vs Tori: Which has more nutrition for summer and 5 interesting ways to eat themAncient Kashmiri beauty secrets that are becoming popular again in IndiaFrom transparent bodies to underground lives: 5 bizarre frogs you’ve probably never heard of8 modern TV unit designs to instantly upgrade your living roomPersonality test: Mango, litchi, watermelon?
