			<title>Amjad Ali Bhat DEHRADUN: A 29-year-old man from J&#038;K&#8217;s Baramulla district was allegedly detained by &#8220;authorities in Saudi Arabia&#8221; after he was picked up on March 25 from a health facility in Dammam, where he used to work as a ‘nurse specialist’, over a &#8220;social media post on Iran&#8217;s late supreme leader&#8221;. Incidentally, days later, Amjad Ali Bhat&#8217;s family back home in Kashmir is still struggling to know his whereabouts and has contacted embassies and govt authorities.“We only came to know about his detention when we called his contact number on March 25. It was attended by his colleague and roommate from Tamil Nadu who told us that Amjad was on his day shift at the workplace when he was picked up by &#8216;local authorities&#8217;,” Amjad’s elder sister, Shahida, told TOI on Tuesday.Amjad had gone to Saudi last June to join a company in Dammam. His father, Ghulam Ali, said: “Amjad&#8217;s colleague claimed that the &#8216;authorities&#8217; didn’t cite any reason behind his detention nor informed him about the charges. They didn’t share the whereabouts of the detention centre or police station. We have absolutely no information about him now and are worried amid the West Asia crisis.&#8221;Ali said that &#8220;after checking his social media, we suspect that he was detained due to a post uploaded by him on his Facebook account on late Khamenei on March 3”. TOI has received a screenshot of the post.&#8221;Our family had written to the embassy of India in Riyadh and the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Delhi,&#8221; Shahida said. The Indian embassy has replied stating that they have taken up their matter with Saudi authorities, she added. Response from the Saudi embassy in India is awaited.The family also submitted an application at the local police station and sought help from the J&#038;K govt.Meanwhile, the embassy of India in Riyadh, in its reply on April 2, stated: “The matter has been taken up with the Saudi authorities concerned. The embassy is following it up. Will keep you informed of the developments.”Amid the family&#8217;s desperate efforts, the J&#038;K Students&#8217; Association (JKSA) has written to the ministry of external affairs on Monday. JKSA&#8217;s national convenor Nasir Khuehami said, “The JKSA has written to minister S Jaishankar seeking urgent intervention, and raised concerns over his safety, legal status and prolonged inaccessibility&#8230;&#8221;Amjad, who is the fourth among eight siblings, including three elder sisters, is the family&#8217;s sole breadwinner. Their father is a pensioner after retiring from the handicrafts dept under Union ministry of textiles.About the AuthorKalyan DasSpecial Correspondent at The Times of India, Dehradun, covering global issues with special focus on South Asia, defence, crime, sports and human interest stories.

			<title>NEW DELHI: In the order rejecting the opposition’s notice to move a motion seeking removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan has said that while the allegations are “relevant for political debate, they do not prima facie meet the high constitutional bar for removal proceedings”.The RS Chairman found that the allegations “lack proofs necessary to constitute misbehaviour which establishes a prima facie case for removal of CEC.“The notice does not demonstrate &#8220;misbehaviour&#8221; as envisaged by Articles 324(5) and 124(4) of the Constitution. Therefore, the prima-facie requirements for admitting this notice of Motion under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, have not been met,” Radhakrishnan added.The Chairman also cited the Supreme Court’s observations that “the founding fathers of the Constitution advisedly adopted cumbersome process of impeachment as a mode to remove a Judge from office for only proved misbehaviour or incapacity which implies that impeachment process is not available for minor abrasive behaviour of a Judge.”He further emphasised that the Constitution entrusts Parliament with an extraordinary power to initiate proceedings for removal of a person holding a high constitutional office.The notices submitted on March 12 to Rajya Sabha Chairman and Lok Sabha Speaker om Birla by opposition members seeking removal of Kumar as CEC, were rejected on Monday.In the order, Radhakrishnan gave a rebuttal to the opposition&#8217;s 7 charges against KumarOn the charge that the appointment of the CEC was “compromised and tainted as the constitutional validity of the selection process for his appointment” provided under the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023 is itself under challenge and pending consideration before the Supreme Court, Radhakrishnan noted that “these allegations, even if presumed to be factually correct, do not amount to any act of misbehavior attributable to the CEC.With regards to a statement allegedly made by CEC during a press briefing concerning allegations of irregularities in preparation of electoral rolls, the RS Chairman said that the allegations on their face do not appear to be falling within the meaning of &#8216;misbehaviour&#8217; for seeking removal of the CEC.On the charge about “deliberate obstruction on investigation into electoral fraud”, the chairman said “it is evident that the issue concerning disclosure of electoral data in machine-readable format was considered by the Supreme Court, and the Election Commission had acted in due compliance with the directions issued therein.”As for the timing of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar and exclusion of a large number of voters, Radhakrishnan said “it would be wholly inappropriate to treat issues currently under active judicial consideration as constituting evidence of misbehaviour” on the part of the CEC.On the charges related to the nationwide expansion of SIR and purported political consequences of such action, the RS Chairman said, the impugned assertions, being inherently speculative and conjectural, do not, prima facie, meet the threshold required to establish “misbehaviour”.Responding to the opposition’s allegations about contempt and non-compliance with the Supreme Court’s directions, the Chairman said, “any alleged deviation from such directions is appropriately addressed through the Court’s established contempt jurisdiction.”The opposition also alleged a failure on the part of the EC to maintain independence and constitutional fidelity following the appointment of Kumar as CEC. “In the absence of concrete particulars or substantiated evidence demonstrating deviation from constitutional or statutory obligations, such assertions fail in the test of prima facie instance of “misbehaviour”,” the RS Chairman stated.Meanwhile, TMC&#8217;s Derek O&#8217;Brien said opposition parties are in touch over the rejection of the notices and will put forth their point of view in day or two.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children;

			<title>NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha speaker and Rajya Sabha chairman have rejected the opposition’s notice for a motion for the removal of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after a “careful and objective assessment of all relevant aspects and issues involved”, a move bound to deepen acrimony between the governing NDA and its opponents amid their campaign blitzkrieg for five assembly polls.As many as 130 LS and 63 RS members — more than required under rules — from opposition parties had filed the notice on March 13 in their respective Houses, seeking Kumar’s ouster for his alleged partisan and discriminatory conduct, especially in the SIR drive.An LS bulletin said, “After due consideration of the notice of motion and a careful and objective assessment of all relevant aspects and issues involved therein, the speaker (Om Birla) in exercise of powers vested to him under section 3 of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, has refused to admit the said notice of motion.”RS issued a similar bulletin on behalf of chairman C P Radhakrishnan. Though the bulletin did not specify the ground for rejection, officials said it is a common practice.The notice, signed by opposition INDIA bloc members and some other BJP rivals like AAP had the requisite support — which is at least 100 LS and 50 RS MPs.Parliament is set to meet on April 16 for three days to take up bills related to implementation of women’s reservation in LS and state assemblies from the 2029 general polls, and rejection of the opposition’s move against the CEC is expected to trigger a fresh round of clash between the two sides.While Congress’s Jairam Ramesh in a cryptic post said, “We know what happened to the last RS chairman who accepted a petition moved by opposition MPs”, TMC&#8217;s Derek O&#8217; Brien said, “Ah! I told you so. Notice to remove CEC ‘Vanish Kumar’ by RS MPs rejected. Reason? No reason given. BJP keep mocking our great Parliament.”If opposition parties, especially TMC that was at the forefront of rallying support for the notice, raise the issue in their poll campaign to press their claim of constitutional institutions having been allegedly compromised under BJP, the governing party will flag the issue as an endorsement of CEC’s functioning from Parliament’s presiding chairs.After Congress had led a move to file a notice for Birla’s removal, which was admitted and defeated by voice vote in LS, TMC was believed to have nudged the main opposition party to join it in making a similar move against Kumar.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children; Curfew Imposed, Internet Shutdown&#8217;Avoid Military Areas, Stay Indoors&#8217;: India Issues Advisory For Indians In Iran As Tensions RiseManipur Erupts Again: Curfew, Internet Shutdown As Violence Returns Over Killing Of Two ChildrenTejas Back In Air After Setbacks, But Reliability And Delays Raise Fresh Questions&#8217;Target Of Akhand Bharat&#8217;: Pakistan Senator Sounds Alarm Over Growing India-UAE Ties&#8217;At The Behest Of Mamata&#8217;: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey&#8217;s Shocking Claim On Pakistan&#8217;s Kolkata ThreatIndia Seeks US Waiver On Chabahar Amid Conflict; Iran Envoy Hints At Key Port Revival After WarBJP Calls Kharge’s ‘Snake’ Remark Dangerous, Alleges Communal ProvocationAssam Passport Row Turns Personal: Himanta Sarma Takes &#8216;Peda&#8217; Jibe At Pawan Khera, Congress Responds&#8217;Pakistan Will Be Divided Into&#8230;&#8217;: Rajnath Singh&#8217;s Strong Response To Khawaja Asif&#8217;s Kolkata Threat123Photostories6 quick blooming flowers to sow in April10 couple-inspired house name ideas that add a personal touchHow to make protein-rich Egg Poha for breakfast at home8 animals that shed their skin in the most surprising waysYou have heard of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol: But what if that’s not the full story and you’re reading it wrong?5 cheapest Indian states to buy gold in 202610 short baby girl names inspired by beautiful flowersFrom Divyanka Tripathi to Karishma Tanna confirming their pregnancies to Surbhi Jyoti flaunting her baby bump; TV actresses who are all set to embrace motherhoodWhy this is the only Indian dish among the 50 Best Bean Dishes in the World5 fun and unusual vacation ideas for the summer holidays in India123Hot PicksShreyas Iyer SisterUpdated IPL Points TablePurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce RelationshipIPL 2026Donald TrumpSheldon KeefeUS stocks todayIran AdvisoryCarlos AlcarazIPL Points TableSchool Holidays in AprilKarnataka 2nd PUC Exam Result Date</title>

			<title>ANI file photo  NEW DELHI: India&#8217;s room air-conditioner market is heading into the summer season under clear price pressure, even as companies remain bullish on long-term growth. Manufacturers including Blue Star have indicated further price hikes, driven by rising commodity costs, tighter energy-efficiency labelling norms that came into effect in Jan 2026 and current global headwinds. &#8220;The increase in commodity prices has been unprecedented,&#8221; said B Thiagarajan, managing director of the company.Industry executives estimate that higher input costs have added roughly 8-9% to material expenses, while the shift to more energy-efficient models is pushing prices up by another 5-8%. Together, this has translated into a 13% increase in AC prices, said Thiagarajan. However, a GST reduction has softened the blow, with consumers likely to see an effective rise of about 5% compared to last year.  Companies have already passed on part of the increase, with more expected in phases. &#8220;A large part of the increase is already behind us. The balance will be taken as the season progresses,&#8221; Thiagarajan said, indicating a staggered pricing strategy. Other players, including Godrej Enterprises Group, have also raised prices. &#8220;Despite a challenging year for the AC industry, which witnessed a decline in overall sales, Godrej ACs achieved significant growth,&#8221; said Kamal Nandi, business head, appliances business at the company. Godrej has increased AC prices by nearly 10%. At Hisense India, CEO Pankaj Rana said the recent price hikes are a function of sustained input cost pressures. &#8220;The recent increase in AC prices is primarily driven by a sharp rise in input costs, including raw materials, logistics, and broader supply chain disruptions,&#8221; he said.Rana noted that companies have ensured adequate inventory and strong on-ground presence to meet summer demand. &#8220;While demand remains robust, any further price revisions will depend on how input costs evolve, as well as the competitive landscape, with potential increases in the range of 7-10%, depending on demand trends and competitive responses,&#8221; he said. Manufacturers are walking a tightrope between protecting margins and sustaining demand during peak summer months. Apart from commodity inflation, elevated copper prices, a weaker rupee, and higher freight and component costs continue to weigh on profitability. Demand, meanwhile, has been volatile due to erratic weather and unseasonal rains, which impacted peak-season sales last year. Thiagarajan said 2025 turned out to be a weak summer, with industry volumes likely declining 5-7.5% compared to FY25. The outlook, however, remains strong. The domestic AC market, estimated at 14 million units, is expected to nearly double to about 30 million units by FY30, driven by rising incomes, heat, and deeper penetration in smaller towns.About the AuthorAabhas SharmaAabhaasEnd of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children; Curfew Imposed, Internet Shutdown&#8217;Avoid Military Areas, Stay Indoors&#8217;: India Issues Advisory For Indians In Iran As Tensions RiseManipur Erupts Again: Curfew, Internet Shutdown As Violence Returns Over Killing Of Two ChildrenTejas Back In Air After Setbacks, But Reliability And Delays Raise Fresh Questions&#8217;Target Of Akhand Bharat&#8217;: Pakistan Senator Sounds Alarm Over Growing India-UAE Ties&#8217;At The Behest Of Mamata&#8217;: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey&#8217;s Shocking Claim On Pakistan&#8217;s Kolkata ThreatIndia Seeks US Waiver On Chabahar Amid Conflict; Iran Envoy Hints At Key Port Revival After WarBJP Calls Kharge’s ‘Snake’ Remark Dangerous, Alleges Communal ProvocationAssam Passport Row Turns Personal: Himanta Sarma Takes &#8216;Peda&#8217; Jibe At Pawan Khera, Congress Responds&#8217;Pakistan Will Be Divided Into&#8230;&#8217;: Rajnath Singh&#8217;s Strong Response To Khawaja Asif&#8217;s Kolkata Threat123PhotostoriesHow to make protein-rich Egg Poha for breakfast at home8 animals that shed their skin in the most surprising ways5 cheapest Indian states to buy gold in 2026You have heard of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol: But what if that’s not the full story and you’re reading it wrong?10 short baby girl names inspired by beautiful flowersFrom Divyanka Tripathi to Karishma Tanna confirming their pregnancies to Surbhi Jyoti flaunting her baby bump; TV actresses who are all set to embrace motherhoodWhy this is the only Indian dish among the 50 Best Bean Dishes in the World5 fun and unusual vacation ideas for the summer holidays in IndiaStep inside Kapil Dev’s Delhi residence that defines understated luxurySimple remedies to attract wealth based on your number123Hot PicksShreyas Iyer SisterUpdated IPL Points TablePurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce RelationshipIShowSpeedStephen CurrySheldon KeefeUS stocks todayIran AdvisoryCarlos AlcarazIPL Points TableSchool Holidays in AprilKarnataka 2nd PUC Exam Result Date</title>

			<title>Image: IANS NEW DELHI: Highway construction and awards for new works fell to a seven-year low in 2025-26, official data show. While overall construction stood at less than 10,000 km, a first since 2019-20, barely 7,000 km of works were awarded in FY26.The reasons for the fall in performance on these two key parameters in the highway sector include road agencies’ following stricter pre-condition of land availability and clearances before bidding out projects and a sharp decline in conversion of state highways to National Highways (NHs).Officials said that agencies have maintained “self-restraint” to ensure that projects once bid out don’t get stuck or delayed due to non-availability of land and other issues, such as forest and environment clearance and utility shifting.“Projects getting delayed serve no purpose; rather this results in cost escalation. A lot of efforts have been put into bringing down the number of delayed projects. Second, the focus now is on building more economic corridors and expressways rather than incremental expansion of existing highways,” an official said.National Highways Corporation of India (NHAI), which is responsible for construction and maintenance of wider highways, said last week the agency had constructed 5,313 km of NHs, which was about 15% higher than the target of 4,640 km for the year.Industry insiders said that as the number of NH development projects offered by NHAI and other agencies have fallen substantially, contractors are scrambling to get work, quoting rates up to 42% less than bid prices. “The impact of fewer projects being bid out will be visible in the next couple of years,” said a senior executive of a major highway developer.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children; Curfew Imposed, Internet Shutdown&#8217;Avoid Military Areas, Stay Indoors&#8217;: India Issues Advisory For Indians In Iran As Tensions RiseManipur Erupts Again: Curfew, Internet Shutdown As Violence Returns Over Killing Of Two ChildrenTejas Back In Air After Setbacks, But Reliability And Delays Raise Fresh Questions&#8217;Target Of Akhand Bharat&#8217;: Pakistan Senator Sounds Alarm Over Growing India-UAE Ties&#8217;At The Behest Of Mamata&#8217;: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey&#8217;s Shocking Claim On Pakistan&#8217;s Kolkata ThreatIndia Seeks US Waiver On Chabahar Amid Conflict; Iran Envoy Hints At Key Port Revival After WarBJP Calls Kharge’s ‘Snake’ Remark Dangerous, Alleges Communal ProvocationAssam Passport Row Turns Personal: Himanta Sarma Takes &#8216;Peda&#8217; Jibe At Pawan Khera, Congress Responds&#8217;Pakistan Will Be Divided Into&#8230;&#8217;: Rajnath Singh&#8217;s Strong Response To Khawaja Asif&#8217;s Kolkata Threat123Photostories8 animals that shed their skin in the most surprising waysYou have heard of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol: But what if that’s not the full story and you’re reading it wrong?5 cheapest Indian states to buy gold in 202610 short baby girl names inspired by beautiful flowersFrom Divyanka Tripathi to Karishma Tanna confirming their pregnancies to Surbhi Jyoti flaunting her baby bump; TV actresses who are all set to embrace motherhoodWhy this is the only Indian dish among the 50 Best Bean Dishes in the World5 fun and unusual vacation ideas for the summer holidays in IndiaStep inside Kapil Dev’s Delhi residence that defines understated luxurySimple remedies to attract wealth based on your numberHappy birthday Jackie Chan: ‘Drunken Master’, ‘Police Story’ to ‘Rush Hour’ &#8211; The legend&#8217;s greatest hits123Hot PicksThierry HenryUpdated IPL Points TablePurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingBuffalo BillsIShowSpeedStephen CurrySheldon KeefeUS stocks todayIran AdvisoryCarlos AlcarazIPL Points TableSchool Holidays in AprilKarnataka 2nd PUC Exam Result Date</title>
