BJP leader Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur has asked Hindu shopkeepers to display their names on commercial establishments they own, apparently to differentiate Hindus from non-Hindus. The former Bhopal MP made this appeal amidst a row over directives issued by the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand to highlight names of owners and staff of eateries along the Kanwar Yatra routes. These directives were subsequently stayed by the Supreme Court which on Monday extended its July 22 interim order. Days after the Ujjain mayor claimed shop owners had been directed to display their names and phone numbers on boards, the Madhya Pradesh government on July 21 clarified no such instructions had been issued for shop owners along the Kanwar Yatra route in the state, and there is no such compulsion. «I appeal to every Hindu to write their name on their shops and establishments. Those who write their names are Hindus and those who do not write are not Hindus. No one can stop you from writing your name because the country belongs to you. Rest everyone is sensible,» Thakur tweeted on Saturday.

Chinese ambassador to Nepal kicked up another controversy through social media, drawing the ire of the local population. In the latest such instance, Chen Song faced criticism for passing a «joke» about a bus accident in Nepal. On July 28, while reposting a news article titled «19 kg magnet, brought to search for the lost bus, is itself missing», he wrote on X, «Find the magnet then». He was referring to the July 12 accident, when a bus travelling from Kathmandu to Gaur and another coming from Birgunj to Kathmandu were swept away into the Trishuli river at Simaltal, Chitwan district of Nepal. Out of 65 passengers, 62 were missing. The whereabouts of the buses and most of the passengers are still unknown. Upon the request of the Nepal government, India sent a 12-member diving team with magnets to assist in the search. The Chinese ambassador's comments appeared to be targeted not only at Nepal but also at the failure of the Indian team, according to Kathmandu-based people.

Jordan's foreign minister is expected in Iran on Sunday, as the United States and its Arab allies try to prevent a wider war after the back-to-back killings of top Iran-allied militants sparked vows of revenge against Israel. Ayman Safadi would be the first senior Jordanian official to pay an official visit to Iran in over 20 years. Jordan is a close Western ally and helped intercept scores of missiles and drones fired by Iran toward Israel in April. Iran said it was retaliating for the killing of its generals in an Israeli strike in Syria. Many fear Iran and its regional allies could launch a similar attack following the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in an Israeli strike on Beirut last week and of Hamas' top political leader in an explosion in Tehran a day later. Both attacks were widely blamed on Israel, which has acknowledged killing the Hezbollah commander. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas have vowed to avenge the killings.

travel operators are set to expand their revenue by a robust 15-17 per cent this fiscal year, driven by rising domestic tourism and an increasing propensity for overseas travel, Crisil said in its latest report.

This growth follows a strong fiscal year where revenue surged by approximately 40 per cent to around Rs 14,500 crore, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by about 20 per cent.

France on Sunday called on its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country «as soon as possible» amid fears of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah and a broader regional conflict. «In a highly volatile security context, we once again call the attention of French nationals, particularly those passing through, to the fact that direct commercial flights and ones with stopovers to France are still available, and we invite them to make their arrangements now to leave Lebanon as soon as possible,» the foreign ministry said in its travel advice notice for Lebanon.

Jamsetji Tata, the founder of the Tata Group, made a strategic choice in the 1890s to shut down the Tata Shipping Line, demonstrating his willingness to exit from unviable ventures. This tough decision was driven by his effort to break the monopoly of the English P.&O. shipping line that dominated exports from India during the 1880s and 1890s, charging high freight rates and favoring British and Jewish firms. Jamsetji Tata's textile business suffered due to P.&O.'s exorbitant freight rates and discriminatory practices. Determined to challenge this, he traveled to Japan to collaborate with Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), the largest shipping line in Japan. NYK agreed to partner with Jamsetji, provided he took equal risks and managed the ships himself. To launch the 'Tata Line,' he chartered an English ship named 'Annie Barrow' at a fixed rate of 1,050 pounds per month, marking the first venture bearing the Tata name. Believing the Tata Line would lower freight rates for the entire Indian textile industry, Jamsetji set the rates at Rs 12 per tonne, compared to P.&O.'s Rs 19 per tonne. Soon after, he chartered a second ship, 'Lindisfarne.' His efforts received praise, with The Tribune newspaper commenting in October 1894 that it had «been the subject of general praise in the industrial centre of India.»

pilot fatigue, pilots' grouping FIP has urged the civil aviation ministry to take steps for implementation of revised norms on flight duty and rest period at the earliest. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP), which has more than 6,000 members, had earlier also written to the civil aviation ministry on the revised CAR (Civil Aviation Requirement) for pilots after DGCA postponed their implementation. The revised CAR related to flight duty time limitation seeks to provide more rest time for pilots amid rising concerns over pilot fatigue. In March, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) decided to postpone its implementation. In a letter to Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu, FIP President CS Randhawa has requested him to direct DGCA to implement the revised CAR at the earliest.

The heavy rain caused major flooding. Tilak Bridge and Vikas Marg, which leads to Laxmi Nagar, were both underwater. The police had to close Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg to keep vehicles away from the flooded Minto Bridge. Trying to drive along Ring Road from Delhi Gate past Raj Ghat resulted in huge traffic jams. The situation was made worse by several vehicles breaking down. Two buses stalled after turning left from ITO onto Vikas Marg. Another bus was left abandoned near Delhi Gate, and two more buses broke down almost at the same time near Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. One of these buses blocked the left lane, while the other stopped in the main lane, leaving just one lane open for other cars. Waterlogging on the right side of the road also slowed traffic. Rukmani Gupta, who works in ITO, said, «As if this wasn't enough, waterlogging on the right side forced traffic to move extra slowly.»
