Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate: India's 14-year-old batting sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, made headlines again after smashing a 36-ball century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate league opener for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh at the JSCA Oval Ground on Wednesday.

He scored an unbeaten 108 off 61 balls, his maiden ton in the T20 domestic cricket tournament and third overall in the format.

The 14-year-old cricketer also smashed the record for the highest score by an Indian in U19 Asia Cup history with his 171 off just 95 against the UAE. The explosive southpaw also slammed a ton against the Australia U19 team in Brisbane during a Youth Test match in November. His most recent jaw-dropping innings came in the Rising Stars Asia Cup, where he scored 144 off 42 balls for India A against UAE, smashing 11 fours and 15 sixes.

National Farmers' Day: Remembering former PM Charan Singh, a staunch champion of farmers' welfare
The true India resides in its villages, said India's former PM Chaudhary Charan Singh. Today, National Farmers' Day is celebrated in remembrance of his birth anniversary. He championed for the farmers' cause and welfare and was the architect of several key legislations that changed the lives of farmers, once and for all. Beginning his political career with the Congress party and first elected to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly (then provincial) in 1937, he held portfolios, including Revenue, Agriculture, Home, and Local Self-Government. He formulated and finalised the Debt Redemption Bill 1939, which was later enacted as the United Provinces Agriculturists and Workmen Debt Redemption Act in 1940.The Act paved the way for thousands of farmers to save their fields from public auction and curbed money lender exploitation. The Act also enabled processes like debt conciliation and liquidation. As Revenue Minister, he was keen on the abolition of the Zamindari system and formulated the Land Utilisation Bill, the precursor of the Zamindari Abolition and Land Reform Act. The Act razed the feudal system, abolishing intermediaries (Zamindars), and transferred land ownership to actual tillers. Later, as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, he played a decisive role in bringing about the Land Holding Act of 1960, which ensured equitable distribution of land among farmers. In a brief stint as India's Prime Minister from 197980, he staunchly called for rural development and farmer-oriented governance. Of many books he authored, Indias Poverty and Its Solution, an extraordinary work to date , argued that 'agricultural neglect' was the 'root cause' of rural poverty. He was against excessive urban-industrial bias and promoted remunerative prices for crops, which later transformed into price-support mechanisms. He advocated for cooperative institutions and institutional rural credit. He protected the interests of small and marginal farmers at any cost. Born in an agrarian family, shaped by Gandhian principles, Charan Singh rose to power, well-marked for his simplicity, integrity, and ethical conduct throughout his political discourse. The farmer is the master of this country, but he has forgotten his power, Charan Singh once said, and the statement still holds deep meaning and many aspects to ponder upon!
The video was shared by a creator named Vibhor Srivastava on Instagram. It features a rare moment of seeing the rare red fox near Pangong Tso during a trip to Ladakh. Scroll down to see the video.

Bombay HC slams BMC, pollution board over air quality; says authorities failed to ensure compliance
MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday pulled up the civic authorities and the pollution control board, saying that while it was not against development or halting construction activities in the city, it only sought strict compliance with norms to curb air pollution. A bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad remarked that the authorities have failed to ensure compliance and directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) to take serious steps to mitigate the spiralling air pollution in the city. We do not want any construction work or development to stop, but we want compliance. You (authorities) have failed to ensure compliance, the court said, adding that if immediate and effective steps are not taken now, the situation would become impossible to control. If things go out of hand, then nothing will remain within your control, it said. Following the court's directive on Monday, BMC commissioner Bhushan Gagrani and MPCB secretary Devendra Singh appeared before the bench on Tuesday. Please come up with suggestions. It will not work like this. Apart from being officers, you too are citizens and have a fundamental duty, the court said. The bench was hearing a bunch of petitions raising concerns over the deteriorating air quality index (AQI) in the city. It also took note of the conditions workers are subjected to at construction sites. The right to life was applicable to all, including the poor, the court said, while asking the MPCB if it had issued any advisories for construction sites with regard to the health of workers. You have to issue an advisory for project proponents so that workers' health is not affected. They are exposed to serious health threats. You do not care for the poor, the bench remarked. At least give them a mask. This is common sense. Right to health is a fundamental right, the court said. The MPCB said that it would come up with suggestions on the issue on Wednesday. The court, in its order, noted that a lot more needs to be done by the BMC and MPCB. The bench questioned the civic chief if he steps out of his office to conduct surprise checks and if he has initiated any action against any offender. Senior counsel S U Kamdar, appearing for the civic body, replied in the affirmative and pointed out that since November, the corporation has issued 433 show-cause notices for non-compliance with guidelines and 148 stop-work notices.

Viral recap 2025: Boho chic to Bavu Swami
Sadakku sadakku The trend centres around Thakilu Pukilu, the popular song from the 2001 Malayalam film Ravanaprabhu, which re-released in October. Fans revelled in Suresh Peters high-energy beats and Mohanlals macho maximus presence. Videos from the theatre went viral. So much so that even a local politician became an overnight star after a video showed him grooving to the song. Riding this renewed interest, the web world was taken over by AI-generated Poochandi cat dance clips using the song as background audio. Poocha Sir Any year is the cat year. Any day is cat day. Thats how it is in catverse. Poocha Sir refers to a series of meme videos where clips of cats in funny situations are dubbed with humorous voice-overs, often using the CapCut Trickster voice effect. This often includes videos portrayed in a situational comedy or sarcasm setting. Topped with Malayalam voice-over. In addition, AI orange cat cartoons also went viral, with this furball going on a crime spree. It became so popular that Kerala Police cautioned against children accessing the videos. Parody punch Pottiye Kettiye emerged as one of Keralas most talked-about parody tracks of the year a sharp, satirical spin on a popular Ayyappa devotional song. The remix, which cheekily referenced the Sabarimala gold theft case, spread across reels and WhatsApp groups during the recent local body elections, quickly becoming a campaign-season earworm that many believe impacted the civic polls. Well, it looks like the song could reverberate beyond the season. Let the universeconspire Manifestation is the idea of attracting whatever one desires be it love, money, freedom, or peace using ones mind and positive affirmations. Gen Z and millennials alike have been actively putting out their positive intentions into the universe. Manifestation, considered a form of spiritualism, is a nudge to replace negative thoughts with positive ones, backed by the belief that energetic mindfulness influences the universe. Husky dance, anyone? Husky Dance is a viral Instagram trend triggered by Vaikom native D Arjun. It features a looping video of a Husky dog animated to dance to popular Indian film songs. Arjun discovered the clip from older TikTok-style animal videos and began posting one video a day on his page Husky Dance Daily. The trend exploded after a Husky danced to the Tamil song Ichu Ichu, crossing millions of views overnight. Celebrities joined in, meme pages picked it up, and the trend went global. Bavu Swami rocks Self-styled avadhoots Babu Swami and Naga Sairanthri are on air, courtesy a social media clip showing them at a talk show. In the video, Naga claims that she and Babu Swami danced together and had a great time at her kshethram (shrine). Her slurry dialogue with exaggerated expressions made the clip go viral. Now, there is a slew of Bhavu Sami reels and remix tracks, with even some celebrities joining the trend. Bohemian Bounce In 2025, boho chic made a noticeable return to mainstream fashion, driven by nostalgia and a renewed interest in individuality. Rooted in bohemian and hippie aesthetics, the style is defined by flowing silhouettes, layered accessories and earthy textures. Designers and influencers reworked the look with modern tailoring and contemporary pairings, reintroducing the look to a Gen Z audience. The revival also signalled changing lifestyle preferences towards comfort, self-expression and slower, more intentional fashion choices. Labubu mania The Labubu craze, a global collectable toy obsession, took over Indian social media. The big-eyed, impish creature from the POP MART universe became a symbol of cute chaos. Creators flaunted their Labubu collections, unboxing videos trended non-stop, and knock-offs flooded local markets. Fighter fandom A British navy F-35B fighter jet made an emergency landing at the TPuram airport on June 14, and remained grounded there for nearly three weeks. Memes on the jets long stay in Kerala spurred a flurry of memes. Trollers even made fake Aadhaar and PAN cards for it. Someone even posted the jet on OLX. Kerala Tourism also joined the trend with a post on the F-25 enjoying its stay. King Akshaye X Flipperachi Akshaye Khanna has taken the 2025 crown with his effortless swag as he grooved to Bahraini rapper Flipperachis Fa9la track in the film Dhurandhar. His entry scene from the film took social media by storm. Numerous shorts comparing his aura to his father Vinod Khannas vintage charm are also doing the rounds now. Many say the Akshaye-Flipperachi vibe lured them to the theatres. Whats up, Matcha? Originally a Japanese green tea, matcha is now widely seen in cafes, home routines, and reels. People share videos of making iced matcha, matcha lattes, or visiting matcha cafs, often linking it to wellness, calm mornings, and a slower lifestyle. More than just a drink, matcha has become a familiar aesthetic and mood on social media. Tralaleo Tralala... Italian Brainrot is a surreal meme trend that took over social media in 2025. It features absurd, AI generated characters with exaggerated Italian sounding names with a monotone and artificial male voiceover. Visuals of odd-looking characters such as Tralaleo Tralala, Bombardilo Crocodilo and Tung Tung Tung Sahur are paired with nonsensical storylines and looping audio, including phonk music. The humour lies in embracing the brain rot of it all, the internet slang for content so overstimulating and illogical that it feels mentally numbing. Ghibli all the way The Ghibli art trend saw social media flood with AI generated visuals inspired by the distinctive style of Studio Ghibli films. Users reimagined personal photographs, pets and everyday scenes into dreamlike illustrations reminiscent of Hayao Miyazakis animated worlds. The aesthetics nostalgic warmth made it especially popular on Instagram, with brands also adopting the style for visual storytelling. While widely embraced, the trend also reignited conversations around AI ethics, particularly the use of highly recognisable artistic styles. Aura farming Aura farming is a Gen Alpha internet trend centred on projecting nonchalant cool. The term gained traction in 2025 after a video of 11-year-old Indonesian boy named Rayyan dancing casually on the bow of a Pacu Jalur boat went viral. His quiet swagger created major buzz online, coming to represent the idea of personal aura. The trend was propelled by Melly Mikes track Young, Black & Rich that was used as BGM for the clip that spawned memes, reels and imitations.

Twin Triumph from LegalEdge: Delhi Brothers Secure AIR 2 & 8 in CLAT 2026
As the results of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 are announced, Delhi has once again emerged as a strong talent hub for Indias next generation of legal professionals. Among this years standout achievers are twin brothers Parv Jain and Argh Jain from Delhi, who have secured All India Rank 2 and All India Rank 8, respectively, in one of the countrys most competitive law entrance examinations. Twin Brothers-Parv Jain AIR 2 and ARGh Jain AIR 8 CLAT 2026 Students of LegalEdge - Delhi, the twins achievement stands out not only for the ranks they have secured, but for the clarity and discipline with which they pursued law as a first-choice career. At a time when many students remain uncertain about professional pathways after Class 10, Parv and Argh made an early, conscious decision to prepare for CLAT and committed themselves to a structured, long-term preparation plan. Enrolled in LegalEdge Delhis two-year offline classroom programme at South Extension, the brothers followed nearly identical academic routines - attending the same classes, learning under the same mentors, and engaging in daily discussions to refine concepts across legal aptitude, logical reasoning, and quantitative techniques. Their parallel journey culminated in two Top-10 ranks, a rare outcome in the highly competitive CLAT ecosystem. Preparing together helped us stay consistent and grounded. Whenever one of us felt stuck, the other stepped in - and the structured mentoring at LegalEdge ensured we were always moving in the right direction , the twins shared. Their parents described the moment as deeply emotional. Seeing both our sons choose the same path and succeed through discipline and sustained effort has been incredibly fulfilling, they said. Faculty members at LegalEdge Delhi describe Parv and Argh as disciplined, curious learners who trusted the process. CLAT preparation is a marathon. When students commit early and stay consistent, results follow , senior mentors noted. At LegalEdge Delhi & Gurugram, our focus has never been only on ranks, but on the journey of every student and the trust every parent places in us. We consciously work towards creating the right academic environment - one that combines structure, mentorship, emotional support, and consistency. When students feel guided and confident, outcomes follow naturally. Our student-to-selection ratio of nearly 4:1 is a reflection of this sustained, student-first approach rather than a numbers-driven mindset , said Vikaas Wahi, Director, LegalEdge Delhi & Gurugram. With Parv Jain (AIR 2) and Argh Jain (AIR 8) now set to join National Law University, Bengaluru, their story reflects how the right academic platform, combined with clarity of purpose and mentorship, can turn aspiration into achievement. LegalEdges CLAT 2026 results from its Delhi centres (South Extension, Connaught Place, Pitampura and Dwarka) and Gurugram centres (Sector 14 and Nirvana) reflect this trend, with students securing four Top 10 ranks and fourteen Top 100 ranks, and over 300 expected NLU selections. The centres have earlier produced AIR 1 in CLAT 2025 and CLAT 2022, underscoring sustained academic consistency.

Community body in Rajasthan bars daughters, daughters-in-law from using smartphones in 15 villages
JAIPUR: A local community body in Rajasthans Jalore district has imposed a controversial ban on the use of smartphones by daughters and daughters-in-law in 15 villages, with the restriction set to come into force from January 26. Under the diktat, women will not be allowed to carry camera-enabled mobile phones to weddings, public gatherings or even while visiting neighbours, though the use of basic keypad phones for voice calls has been permitted. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Chaudhary community of Sundhamata Patti, held last Sunday at Ghazipur village. The meeting was chaired by community president Sujanaram Chaudhary, with elders deliberating on mobile phone usage within families. The resolution was formally read out by Panch Himmataram and proposed by Devaram Karnol, community members said. As per the guidelines, daughters and daughters-in-law across the 15 villages must restrict their phone usage to keypad mobiles. Girls pursuing education will be allowed to use smartphones at home strictly for academic purposes, but are barred from carrying them to social events, weddings or neighbourhood visits. Explaining the rationale, Sujanaram Chaudhary said the community believes that excessive smartphone use by women leads to prolonged screen exposure for children living with them, which could adversely affect their eyesight. He said the restrictions were introduced keeping this concern in mind. The ban will be enforced in villages including Gajipura, Pavli, Kalra, Manojia Vas, Rajikawas, Datlawas, Rajpura, Kodi, Sidrodi, Alri, Ropsi, Khanadeval, Savidhar, Hathmi ki Dhani of Bhinmal, and Khanpur, all of which fall within the Patti region of Jalore district. Jalore has witnessed similar controversial community diktats in the past. Last year, local elders ordered the social boycott of two families after a young couple entered into a love marriage, imposing a fine of 12 lakh for their re-entry into the community. The couple later approached the Bhinmal police, following which police intervened and facilitated a compromise with most elders, though a few continued to justify the boycott. Caste panchayat enforces social boycott of 55 families in Jalore In another similar incident in June, a caste panchayat in Jalore announced a social boycott of 55 families over a long-standing dispute related to temple land between two factions of the same extended family. The diktat barred community members from attending weddings, social functions, and even funerals of the affected families. The panchayat also warned that anyone who raised objections would face excommunication and monetary penalties. A complaint in connection with the matter was subsequently lodged at the Bagra police station.

Pirate group Anna's Archive says it has scraped Spotify in its entirety
Anna's Archive, the open-source search engine for shadow libraries, says it scraped Spotify's entire library of music. The group acquired metadata for around 256 million tracks, with 86 million actual songs, and is just under 300TB in total size. A while ago, we discovered a way to scrape Spotify at scale. We saw a role for us here to build a music archive primarily aimed at preservation, the group said in a blog post . The pirated treasure trove of music represents over 15 million artists with over 58 million albums. The group intends to make all files available for download for anyone with the available disk space. This Spotify scrape is our humble attempt to start such a preservation archive for music. Of course Spotify doesnt have all the music in the world, but its a great start, the group wrote. The 86 million songs that the group has archived so far represent about 99.6 percent of listens on the platform. This only represents about 37 percent of the total and the group still has millions left to be archived. The open-source site is normally focused on text like books and papers, which it says offers the highest information density. The group says its goal of preserving humanity's knowledge and culture doesn't distinguish between media types. Of course none of this is exactly legal, and the sharing or downloading of all these files is flagrantly in violation of IP protection laws. Anna's Archive contends that current collections of music, both physical and digital, are over-indexed to the most popular artists or composed of unnecessarily large file sizes due to collectors' focus on fidelity. The group says that what it's amassed is by far the largest music metadata database publicly available. The music files will be released in order of popularity in stages.

Codeine syrup seized in UP; six held in separate operations in Etah, Mirzapur
ETAH:The Uttar Pradesh Police have intensified their crackdown on the alleged illegal trade, diversion and distribution of regulated codeine-based cough syrup, arresting six persons in separate operations in Etah and Mirzapur districts, officials said on Monday. The action comes as the probe widened into the alleged codiene syrup trafficking racket, suspected to be involved in illicit trade estimated to be worth hundreds of crores -- with links stretching across several states and possibly beyond international borders. In Etah, a joint team of the Agra anti-narcotics unit and Aliganj police recovered 47 cartons of codeine-based cough syrup, estimated to be worth around Rs 50 lakh, from a tobacco warehouse under Aliganj police station area limits Sunday night. Four persons, including a retired serviceman, were arrested on the spot, police said. According to police, the raid was carried out at a warehouse in Nagla Bani village following a tip-off. Preliminary investigation revealed that the seized cough syrup bore the name of a Baddi-based pharmaceutical company, 'Wings', but the batch numbers printed on the wrappers had been deliberately scratched off, indicating that the consignment was illegally manufactured. Yogis do namune jibe backfires as Akhilesh calls remark a BJP self-goal The arrested accused have been identified as Jitendra Yadav, Jitendra Shakya, Pramod Shakya and Punjab Singh, a retired soldier. Cases have been registered against them under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and other relevant sections, and further investigation is underway, police said. Official sources said the Etah recovery is suspected to be linked to Varanasi-based drug trader, Shubham Jaiswal, who is allegedly associated with an international drug syndicate. A lookout circular has already been issued against him, while his father was arrested earlier from Kolkata. The main accused remains absconding, officials said. In a separate development, Mirzapur police arrested two more accused -- Ajit Yadav and Akshat Yadav -- in connection with a case of illegal supply of codeine-based cough syrup registered at Adalhat police station. The arrests were made on Sunday evening following sustained investigation of the suspects, police said. According to officials, the two accused had allegedly floated firms using forged Aadhaar cards and supplied cough syrup through fake documentation. During investigation, police found that transactions worth over Rs 1 crore had been routed through bank accounts opened in Varanasi in the name of the fake firms. Police said Akshat Yadav, proprietor of a firm named A K Distributors, was supplied around 36 litre of New Phensedyl cough syrup (100 ml bottles) from a trader based in Ranchi, Jharkhand. The firm was found to be non-functional on the ground, and records showed it had been opened only once or twice without carrying out any genuine pharmaceutical business. Further scrutiny revealed that the Aadhaar card used for obtaining the drug licence carried a Mirzapur address and was forged, while a different Aadhaar card with a Varanasi address was used for banking purposes, pointing to deliberate fabrication of documents, police said. The firm's bank account in Varanasi showed a turnover of around Rs 1.28 crore. The two accused have been booked under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the NDPS Act and sent to jail. Police said involvement of more suspects is likely and the investigation is ongoing. Officials said the recoveries and arrests form part of a broader state-wide investigation into the illegal diversion of codeine-based cough syrup, a regulated drug.
Sakib Hussain Ready For Fresh Start In IPL Bandwagon After Being Picked By SRH
Tunna Giri Cricket Academy: Sakib Hussain was at Bihars Vijay Hazare Trophy camp in Patna when Sunrisers Hyderabad picked him for his base price of Rs 30 lakh at the IPL 2026 auction. The move marks the start of a new IPL chapter for Hussain, the right-arm pacer who tasted championship glory with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2024, though he didnt get to play a single game. At the time of the auction, we were at the Vijay Hazare Trophy camp in Patna. When SRH picked me, I felt really good because the things where I had my shortcomings, I did improve on them during the IPL and implemented that in domestic games. I have made sure to leave no stone unturned in overcoming those shortcomings and do well whenever a chance comes to play in the tournament, said Hussain in an exclusive conversation with IANS. Hussains path of coming back to the IPL involved trials with Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, and KKR before SRH got him in the auction. Shortly after that, he received an encouraging call from the franchise's bowling coach and former India pacer Varun Aaron. Varun Aaron told me to get ready and that I have to do well and move ahead by working hard. On hearing this, first of all, I thanked him and the SRH team for taking me in. He replied back by telling me that this is just the fruit of your hardwork. Despite not getting a game in IPL 2024, Hussains time with KKR proved invaluable, as the Gopalganj native got masterclass from some of cricket's biggest names like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh and coach Abhishek Nayar. All of them taught me a lot of good things. Like, the way they planned, playing with a different mindset on match day, and how to judge a player, I got to learn a lot of things there, he said. Hussain also learnt a valuable lesson in KKR - that physical talent alone wouldn't separate the good from the great at a higher level. In my time of being in KKR, one big thing I learnt was cricket is a mind game. The one who thinks well plays well on the field. Everyone is talented, but the one who thinks well, plays well. In the IPL, on a daily basis, you have to think and plan about what to do. Sometimes you have to change your plan in seconds and I got to learn about how to do that. Hussains journey traces back to humble beginnings at Tunna Giri Cricket Academy in Gopalganj, where coach Robin Singh became his pillar of support through every high and low. People like Saket bhaiya, Kumar bhaiya at the academy have supported me. My coach Robin Singh is the most special person in my life. He has helped me through ups and downs, as well as been in my good and bad times. Hes supported me a lot, he said. He also credited the Bihar Cricket Association leadership - President Harsh Vardhan, Rakesh Tiwari, and Secretary Rahul - for creating pathways that helped a small-town cricketer like him to play at the highest level. They all have helped me in going from playing in a small town to such a big stage. They have supported me a lot and I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. Looking ahead to his stint with SRH, Hussain is eager to learn from captain Pat Cummins and other international stars in the setup. In IPL, you get a good coach and mentor who can guide you well. But everywhere you go, the main interest is in playing at any given opportunity and that aids your growth. In the Hyderabad team, a lot of legendary players like skipper Pat Cummins are present, as I will get to learn a lot and carry those lessons very well. Hussains bustling pace in his domestic performances caught the attention of IPL scouts, particularly a remarkable 10-wicket haul against Arunachal Pradesh in the first half of Ranji Trophy and taking six wickets in Bihars Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy league games in Kolkata. In matches, I just keep things simple and focus on what I want to do, which was to pick timely breakthroughs. It also helps that I never think too far and keep focus on doing things in the present moment in the match.

Definitely we will try to become the winning team again in the IPL next year. It will be very good to have a picture there with the trophy again on my Instagram profile. I am very excited to learn a lot and do well to win the trophy for SRH this time. Article Source: IANS

According to them, the FTA will enhance bilateral economic cooperation by improving market access, boosting investment flows and strengthening strategic cooperation, while creating new opportunities for innovators, entrepreneurs, farmers, micro, small and medium enterprises, students and youth in both countries across multiple sectors. Building on the momentum of the agreement, the two sides expressed confidence in doubling bilateral trade over the next five years and projected investments of about $20 billion from New Zealand into India over the next 15 years. Prime Ministers Modi and Luxon also welcomed progress in cooperation in areas such as sports, education and people-to-people ties, and reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening the IndiaNew Zealand partnership, agreeing to remain in close touch as the relationship moves into a new phase following the FTAs conclusion. Under the comprehensive, balanced and forward-looking agreement, New Zealand will eliminate tariffs on 100 per cent of its tariff lines, granting duty-free market access for all Indian exports, a move expected to significantly boost Indias export competitiveness and deepen its integration into global value chains. India has offered tariff liberalisation in 70 per cent of tariff lines, covering 95 per cent of bilateral trade. The agreement is among Indias fastest-concluded FTAs and aligns with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Negotiations were formally launched on March 16, 2025, during a meeting between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and New Zealands Minister for Trade and Investment Todd McClay, and were concluded after five formal rounds along with several in-person and virtual inter-sessional discussions. Goyal said the agreement was about building trade around people and launching opportunitiesfor our farmers, entrepreneurs, students, women and innovators. He added that the pact would boost agricultural productivity and farmer incomes, open doors for Indian businesses in the region and provide Indian youth with global learning and employment opportunities. With 100 per cent duty-free access, labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, marine products, gems and jewellery, handicrafts, engineering goods and automobiles are expected to see a sharp rise in exports, directly benefiting workers, artisans, women, youth and MSMEs through deeper integration into international value chains. To protect farmers and domestic industry, market access excludes dairy, coffee, milk, cream, cheese, yoghurts, whey, caseins, onions, sugar, spices, edible oils and rubber. The FTA delivers New Zealands most ambitious services commitments in any trade agreement to date, with India securing market access in high-value sectors including IT and IT-enabled services, professional services, education, financial services, tourism, construction and other business services. It also includes a future-ready mobility framework with improved entry and stay provisions for Indian professionals, students and youth. A new Temporary Employment Entry Visa pathway will allow up to 5,000 Indian professionals at any given time to work in New Zealand for up to three years, covering professions such as AYUSH practitioners, yoga instructors, Indian chefs and music teachers, as well as high-demand sectors including IT, engineering, healthcare, education and construction. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal described the pact as a new-generation trade agreement built on tariffs, agricultural productivity, investment and talent, noting that Indias strengths in exports and services would support labour-intensive growth while New Zealand would gain predictable access to Indias large and expanding market. On agriculture, dedicated agri-technology action plans for kiwifruit, apples and honey will focus on productivity enhancement, research collaboration, quality improvement and value-chain development, strengthening domestic capabilities and supporting income growth for Indian farmers. Bilateral merchandise trade between India and New Zealand stood at $1.3 billion in 2024-25, while total trade in goods and services reached about $2.4 billion in 2024.

NAGPUR: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said the BJP has set a record in local body polls with 48 per cent of councillors winning on the party symbol, and its candidates elected as presidents in 129 municipal councils. He attributed the Mahayuti alliance's success in the municipal council and nagar panchayat elections to the BJP organisation and development agenda of the government. Counting of votes for elections to the posts of president and members in 286 municipal councils and nagar panchayats held in two phases began in the morning. Fadnavis said the BJP has once again emerged as the single largest party. 48 per cent councillors have been elected on the BJP symbol, which is a record. The BJP has created another record with 3,300 councillors being elected from the party. BJP candidates have been elected as presidents in 129 municipal councils. In 75 per cent of the local bodies, Mahayuti nominees have been elected as municipal presidents, he said. Fadnavis emphasised that the BJP's national leadership has put faith in the state leadership for elections. It is the team effort - the organisation and government. We fought the polls on the development plank. I led a positive campaign on the development agenda. I never criticised any political leader or party. I solicited votes on the development agenda, the work done by the government so far, and our blueprint for the future, the chief minister told a press conference. In the multi-dimensional contests, Mahayuti allies- the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar's NCP- contested against each other in some places. There were alliances as well as friendly fights among Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) constituents- the Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SP), and Congress. The opposition Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) virtually conceded defeat in the elections, accusing the election commission of facilitating the victory of the ruling Mahayuti. State Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal congratulated the party candidates who won the posts of municipal president and councillors. In a terse comment, he congratulated the state poll body for helping the ruling Mahayuti alliance in the elections. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut attributed the victory of Mahayuti to ampering of EVMs. He said the opposition couldn't withstand a hailstorm of money. His party colleague Ambadas Danve alleged money and muscle power shaped the Mahayuti win. The Mahayuti has bagged a larger number of seats as compared to constituents of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, thanks to the muscle and money power deployed by the ruling parties, Danve told PTI in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan claimed the party had got a decisive mandate as voters had rejected the Opposition's fake narrative. He claimed the Mahayuti had won more than 250 councils, nagar parishads and nagar panchayats out of 288, with BJP candidates securing 134 out of 236 council chief posts and over 3,000 councillor seats. The Opposition levelled all kinds of allegations during the campaign, but people saw through them. Uddhav Thackeray himself said he had nothing to offer to the people and that is why his party was rejected. His party could not even win council chairperson posts in double digits, Chavan claimed. Now, Mumbaikars too would reject the opposition's narrative in the upcoming BMC polls, he said. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said the overwhelming success of the BJP was a victory of the (party) workers. This is a victory of our workers. Thank you to the people who supported the BJP by maintaining faith in its development-oriented working style, the Union minister stated. Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule claimed the Mahayuti is headed to secure two-thirds seats. The Mahayuti has taken a very good lead in Maharashtra and the people have rejected the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), he added. State minister Shivendrasinh Bhosale claimed BJP candidate Amol Mohite was elected municipal president in Satara district by 42,000 votes, an outcome that even surpassed the vote margins typically seen in assembly elections. Minister of state for home Yogesh Kadam claimed the Mahayuti had registered a clean sweep in Khed municipal council in Ratnagiri district by winning all 21 seats, including 17 seats won by Shiv Sena. The BJP has won the president's post in four out of five local bodies in Udgir, Ahmedpur, Nilanga, and Renapur in Latur district, while its ally NCP bagged the seat in Ausa. In the Beed district, the Mahayuti combine has taken a decisive lead. People have demolished the plot of the Opposition to defame Parli and Beed through the results of the local body polls, former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde claimed. The Congress and the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) claimed they had retained their party bastions in Chandrapur and Sangli districts. The Congress won the municipal council president's post as well as 21 of the 23 seats in the Brahmapuri municipal council in Chandrapur district, party leader Vijay Wadettiwar said. The BJP and NCP have secured one seat each. In the Urun-Ishwarpur municipal council in Sangli district, the NCP (SP) has won 23 seats as well as the post of council president, senior leader Jayant Patil claimed. In Palghar district, the Shiv Sena has won the president's election in the municipal councils of Palghar and Dahanu, while the BJP bagged the president's posts in Jawhar municipal council and Wada Nagar Panchayat. Recounting of votes was ordered after the Congress objected to the 116-vote win of BJP candidate Ajay Agrawal in Kamptee municipal council polls in Nagpur district, an official said. In a setback for the BJP, the party candidate for the post of Loha municipal council president, Gajanan Suryavanshi, and his five kin lost. The post was won by Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party, whose candidate, incidentally, is named Sharad Pawar. The NCP emerged victorious in Loha, Kandhar, Degloor and Umri, while the BJP won in Kundalwadi, Mudkhed and Bhokar in Nanded district. The Shiv Sena and Marathwada Janhit Party won from two places each, while the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress emerged victorious from one place each, officials said. Only the NCP (SP) led by opposition stalwart Sharad Pawar failed to capture any of the municipal councils that went to polls in the district, they added.
