The businesses should share equal responsibility for the skewed trade balance with China, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday, blaming India Inc for not developing sufficient sourcing capabilities within the country. Stating that the government's flagship 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative pitching for self-reliance is a corrective attempt, S Jaishankar warned that "massive external exposure" puts our national security at threat. With some experts, including former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan pitching India to focus more on services, S Jaishankar said neglecting manufacturing will lead to damaging India's "strategic future". In 2022, India-China trade touched USD 135.98 and New Delhi's trade deficit with Beijing crossed the USD 100 billion mark for the first time despite frosty bilateral ties. Terming the challenge posed by the trade imbalance with China as very serious and formidable, the career bureaucrat turned politician ...

तापमान में मौजूदा वृद्धि मार्च में भी बनी रहती है तो रबी गेहूं का उत्पादन प्रभावित होगा और पैदावार पिछले साल के निचले स्तर के बराबर या उसकी तुलना में कुछ कम होगा. एक रिपोर्ट में यह कहा गया है. गेहूं के उत्पादन में लगभग 30 प्रतिशत का योगदान देने वाले उत्तर प्रदेश में खरीफ धान की फसल के बाद समय पर बुवाई के कारण पूर्वी हिस्से में अपेक्षाकृत अच्छी पैदावार की उम्मीद है. शोध एजेंसी क्रिसिल ने बुधवार को कहा कि अगर मार्च में अधिक तापमान बना रहता है तो देर से बुवाई के कारण पश्चिमी उत्तर प्रदेश में मामूली गिरावट देखी जा सकती है. रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि पंजाब और हरियाणा में देर से बोया गया गेहूं फूल अवस्था में पहुंचा है, जबकि जल्दी बोया गया लॉट अब दूध बनने की अवस्था में है और अधिक तापमान इन दोनों चरणों में अनाज के गठन के लिए हानिकारक हैं. दोनों राज्यों का सालाना गेहूं उत्पादन में 25 प्रतिशत का योगदान है. इसी तरह बिहार में गेहूं की जल्दी बुवाई हुई है और वहां फसल अनाज बनने/परिपक्वता के चरण में है, जिस पर गर्मी का अपेक्षाकृत कम प्रभाव हो सकता है. रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि हालांकि इस तरह के अजै...

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday pulled up the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority for seeking to evict a man and his family from their transit tenement and in a lighter vein said the planning body should put them up at the Taj hotel in south Mumbai. A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale questioned the 48-hour eviction notice sent to the man, whose original home was pulled down for a public project, and asked if MMRDA expected him to “stand at Flora Fountain (a Mumbai landmark) and beg”. The court was hearing a petition filed by one Shobhnath Singh challenging MMRDA's notice of February 8, 2023, that asked him to vacate the tenement within 48 hours failing which he and his family would be forcibly removed. The petitioner submitted that he did not have an alternative accommodation and that the threat of forcible dispossession was unreasonable. The bench asked MMRDA how they could give such a short notice to the petitioner without providing an...
