DRI busts Pakistan-origin imports, seizes over 362 MT dry dates in Nashik
New Delhi, Sep 14: In a significant crackdown on attempts to circumvent Indias prohibition on imports from Pakistan, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), has seized more than 362 metric tonnes of Pakistan-origin dry dates. Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officers intercepted 13 containers of dry dates imported by a Mumbai-based firm at CFS Ambad, Nashik. The consignments had arrived from Jebel Ali, UAE, with import documents declaring the UAE as the country of origin. Preliminary investigation revealed a carefully orchestrated transshipment arrangement designed to conceal the Pakistan-origin of the goods. The dry dates were initially shipped from Karachi Port, Pakistan, to Jebel Ali Port, UAE, in one set of containers aboard one vessel. At Jebel Ali, the goods were merely transshipped and transferred to another set of containers and loaded onto a different vessel for onward shipment to India through entities operated by Pakistani nationals. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Government of India, in the interest of national security, imposed a complete prohibition on the direct or indirect import or transit of all goods originating in or exported from Pakistan, with effect from 2 May 2025, vide DGFT Notification No. 06/2025-26 dated 2 May 2025. In response, DRI, under Operation Deep Manifest, has been consistently identifying, intercepting and seizing Pakistan-origin goods attempted to be imported into India through third-country routing. The seizure underscores DRIs sustained resolve to identify, disrupt and dismantle sophisticated networks seeking to circumvent trade prohibitions through misdeclaration, transshipment and manipulation of documentation, thereby safeguarding national security and straightening supply chain integrity.

DRI seizes 362 tonnes of Pakistan-origin dry dates in transshipment crackdown
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized more than 362 metric tonnes of Pakistan-origin dry dates in a major crackdown on attempts to circumvent Indias prohibition on imports from Pakistan through third-country routing, the Ministry of Finance said on Monday. Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officers intercepted 13 containers carrying dry dates imported by a Mumbai-based firm at the Container Freight Station (CFS) Ambad in Nashik. The consignments had arrived in India from Jebel Ali in the UAE, while the import documents declared the UAE as the country of origin. Preliminary investigation by the agency revealed that the consignments were part of an allegedly orchestrated transshipment arrangement aimed at concealing the Pakistan-origin of the goods. According to the investigation, the dry dates were initially shipped from Karachi Port in Pakistan to Jebel Ali Port in the UAE in one set of containers aboard a vessel. At Jebel Ali, the goods were merely transshipped and transferred into another set of containers before being loaded onto a different vessel for onward transportation to India. The onward shipment was allegedly facilitated through entities operated by Pakistani nationals, according to the DRI. The seizure comes against the backdrop of the government's decision to prohibit the direct or indirect import or transit of goods originating in or exported from Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. The prohibition on such imports and transit came into effect on May 2, 2025, through DGFT Notification No. 06/2025-26. The measure was introduced in the interest of national security and covers goods routed directly as well as indirectly through third countries. Under Operation Deep Manifest, the DRI has been working to identify and intercept Pakistan-origin goods that are allegedly being routed through third countries in an attempt to evade the import restrictions. The latest seizure highlights the agencys continued efforts to detect and dismantle networks allegedly involved in circumventing trade prohibitions through misdeclaration, transshipment and manipulation of import documentation. The DRI said such enforcement action is aimed at safeguarding national security while strengthening the integrity and transparency of Indias supply chains.

Task force push for stability, security and transparency in Maharashtra competitive exams
Digital Desk | Pune, Sep 13 (IANS) In a major move to make Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) and other state competitive examinations more transparent, secure, stable, and candidate-centric, the high-level recruitment examination taskforce constituted by the state government held extensive consultations with students, teachers, parents, and key stakeholders, officials said on Sunday. The deliberation covered vital issues, including exam timetables, question paper quality, leak prevention, vacancy announcements, answer keys, exam centre logistics, grievance redressal, and candidate 'opting-out' policies. The Task Force operates under the chairmanship of V. Radha, Additional Chief Secretary (Services) of General Administration Department. The high-level committee comprises Director General of Police Sadanand Date; IT and AI Secretary of Electronics Virendra Singh; Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Secretary N Ramaswami; Nashik Divisional Commissioner Pravin Gedam; Air Marshal Ajit Shankarrao Bhosale (Retired), former member of the UPSC; and Shyamprasad Kargudde from IIT Bombay. The state government formed the Taskforce amid MPSC exam paper leaks and ongoing protests by aspirants demanding the transparency and the resignation of MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar. MPSC candidates urged the taskforce to publish and strictly adhere to an annual examination calendar, emphasising the need for long-term procedural stability without frequent policy changes. Pre-declaring minimum vacancies for various cadres was also strongly recommended. Task Force Chairperson V. Radha announced that competitive examinations will not be conducted online for the coming year. Instead, they will be held using the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet pattern, for which standardised operating guidelines are currently being framed. To achieve a zero-leak environment, the committee plans to leverage advanced technology across question creation, printing, transport, and distribution. The Taskforce is evaluating an encrypted 'e-question bank' system where even the item writers remain unaware of which exam their questions will feature in. Students demanded rigorous quality checks to eliminate errors in question papers and answer keys, alongside standardised evaluation metrics and reviewer audits for answer script verification. Stakeholders called for a unified online portal for candidate queries and objections, as well as a single-window system for one-time registration and fee payment across all state exams. Emphasis was placed on ensuring basic amenities at test centers, including clean restrooms, drinking water, and appropriate seating arrangements. Participants advocated for a clear policy on post-selection candidate 'opting-out' to avoid seat wastage when a candidate qualifies for multiple posts, along with timely verification of disability and sports quota certificates. The Taskforce is studying operational models of public service commissions across the countryspecifically analysing systems in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)to adapt proven best practices for Maharashtra. Highlighting the growing operational load on the MPSC, officials stressed the urgent need to bolster the Commission's administrative workforce, technical capabilities, and organisational structure. Our objective is to build a faster, more transparent, and accountable officer selection process for the state, Director General of Police Sadanand Date said. Divisional Commissioner Sheetal Teli-Ugale, District Collector Jitendra Dudi, Additional District Collector Satish Raut, and Resident Deputy Collector Jyoti Kadam were among the senior officials present during the consultation.

SC dismisses Abu Salem's plea seeking premature release from jail
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the plea filed by 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Abu Salem challenging his continued incarceration and seeking release on the ground that he had completed the maximum 25-year sentence after taking into account his undertrial detention and jail-earned remission. A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta dismissed the petition after hearing the matter, which had been reserved for judgment on July 27. Salem had claimed that his undertrial detention, post-conviction incarceration and jail-earned remission should be taken into account while computing the 25-year sentence, entitling him to release in view of the extradition assurance given by India to Portugal. Abu Salem, currently lodged in Nashik Road Central Prison, had approached the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court's refusal to direct his immediate release. The Bombay High Court, in its judgment pronounced on April 15, dismissed Salem's plea, holding that the 25-year period fixed by the Supreme Court could not be reduced by ordinary prison remissions. The High Court had held that the 25-year term constituted the substantive sentence that Salem was required to undergo and was ot a ceiling capable of reduction by application of ordinary prison remissions. A Division Bench of Justices A.S. Gadkari and Kamal Khata further held that Salem's attempt to include earned remissions to shorten the 25-year period was legally unsustainable. Salem was extradited from Portugal and brought to India in November 2005. He was arrested and produced before the TADA Court on November 11, 2005, in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. He was convicted in TADA Case No. 1 of 2006 in February 2015 and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was subsequently convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case in September 2017 and sentenced to life imprisonment, with both sentences ordered to run concurrently. The Supreme Court, while upholding his convictions in July 2022, commuted the life sentences to a total sentence of 25 years in view of the solemn sovereign assurance given by the Government of India to Portugal that Salem would not be subjected to imprisonment beyond 25 years. The apex court had also directed the government to consider remission under Sections 432 and 433 of the CrPC one month prior to completion of the 25-year period. Before the Bombay High Court, Salem claimed that he had earned nearly three years of remission for good conduct and that, after accounting for his undertrial detention and post-conviction incarceration, he had completed the 25-year period. However, the High Court held that remission earned under prison rules is administrative in nature and does not ipso facto reduce the sentence imposed by a Court. It further observed that the 25-year period would expire in November 2030, reckoning it from his arrest on November 11, 2005. There is no question the sovereign assurance of 25 years being further reduced on account of remissions earned, the Bombay High Court said. It also held that any exercise of statutory remission or reduction below the 25-year period could be considered only in accordance with the Supreme Court's directions, adding that the executive's duty to pass formal remission orders arises one month before completion of the said period. Earlier, Salem approached the Supreme Court seeking premature release in terms of the extradition arrangement between India and Portugal. In February, the top court had allowed him to withdraw that plea with liberty to seek an early hearing of the pending matter before the Bombay High Court. Salem was extradited from Portugal to India in November 2005 and was subsequently convicted in two cases arising out of the 1993 Mumbai blasts. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in both cases, with the sentences ordered to run concurrently. In July 2022, the Supreme Court, while upholding his convictions, restricted his imprisonment to 25 years in view of the sovereign assurance given to Portugal.
India's gross manufacturing leasing posts 49 pc CAGR since 2021
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) India's gross manufacturing leasing has reached a cumulative 69 million sq ft, registering a compound annual growth rate of 49 per cent since 2021, a report said on Wednesday. Indias manufacturing sector is witnessing an unprecedented transformation, with leasing demand for industrial spaces projected to capture 40 per cent of the market by 2030, the report from commercial real estate services firm JLL said. Manufacturing has now emerged as the second-largest occupier segment after third-party logistics (3PL), signaling a fundamental restructuring of Indias industrial real estate hierarchy. Gross absorption touched 19.2 million sq. ft. in 2025, and H1 2026 recorded 10.2 million sq. ft.a 19 per cent year-over-year increase for the first half. With manufacturing leasing absorption forecast to reach approximately 46 million sq. ft. by 2030, the sector's trajectory underscores India's evolution toward becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse aligned with its Vision 2047 aspirations, the report noted. The growth in the manufacturing real estate asset class reflects two distinct yet complementary strategies shaping India's industrial landscape. Tier-I cities are witnessing aggressive leasing of Grade-A facilities as manufacturers prioritise speed-to-market and be capex-light due to paucity of affordable land, said Yogesh Shevade, Managing Director, Industrial & Logistics, India, JLL. Simultaneously, Tier-II markets are seeing manufacturers opt for land acquisition, seeking greater customisation and long-term operational control, Shevade said. Both approaches signal robust manufacturing commitment; whether through leasing or ownership, India is becoming the factory floor of choice, he added. Grade-A properties captured 90 per cent of manufacturing leasing in 2025 and the shift toward high-specification facilities reflects stringent adherence to enhanced building standards, hygiene protocols, and safety norms. Nearly 14 emerging markets including Lucknow, Jaipur, Chandigarh tri-city, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Surat, Nagpur, Nashik, Goa, Indore, Sambhajinagar, Tuticorin, Coimbatore & Vizag are witnessing manufacturers prioritise land transactions over leasing, reflecting diverse regional strategies aligned with specific operational requirements.

Gavit sets sights on Asian Para Games double after Commonwealth triumph
Buoyed by his breakthrough gold at the recent Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, India's top para sprinter Dilip Gavit is aiming for a grand double at next month's Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The Nashik-based right-arm amputee made history on his Commonwealth Games debut, blazing to gold in the men's 100m T47 final in a Games-record 10.71 seconds. His victory made him the first Indian male para-athlete to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal. But Gavit is not resting on that landmark achievement. The 23-year-old, who also won 400m gold at the 2022 Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, has set his sights on two gold medals in Aichi-Nagoya in October. He believes his strength in the 400m -- his primary event -- will give him the edge in the 100m as well, particularly when it comes to maintaining speed through the race. I will keep focusing on the 400m because it prepares you for how you run the first 100m. I also focus more on the 400m because this is my primary race and I have been
