Ladakh slashes VAT on Natural Gas to 5% in major clean energy push
Srinagar, Aug 27: In a landmark decision aimed at accelerating the transition to clean energy and easing costs for residents, the Union Territory Administration of Ladakh has drastically reduced the Value Added Tax (VAT) on Natural Gascovering both Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG)from 21% to just 5%. The policy shift, approved by Lieutenant Governor Ladakh V.K. Saxena following recommendations from the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), marks a pivotal step toward building a sustainable, carbon-neutral ecosystem in the high-altitude region. The PNGRB had previously advised bringing PNG and CNG under a concessional VAT framework of 5% or lower, stressing that initial price affordability is critical to driving adoption among households and local businesses in remote areas. The reduction of VAT on natural gas will support the expansion of PNG and CNG services, strengthen the clean-energy ecosystem, and improve the quality of life of our people. These measures reflect the UT Administration's commitment to building a more connected, competitive, clean, and sustainable Ladakh, stated L-G V.K. Saxena while announcing the approval. Glad to share that the UT of Ladakh has significantly reduced VAT on Natural Gas (CNG & PNG) from 21% to just 5%, a major step towards promoting affordable clean energy and improving the ease of living for the people of Ladakh. This will majorly boost the Centres larger plan of rolling out the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network to provide affordable piped household gas across Ladakh. This would also offset the high energy transportation costs caused by the difficult terrains and extreme climate in the UT, besides encouraging consumers for wider adoption of cleaner fuels Saxena said. This brings Ladakh at par with states like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, advancing Honble PM Shri @narendramodi Jis broader vision for a sustainable and carbon-neutral future he added. The UT Administration remains fully committed to building a connected, competitive, clean, and sustainable Ladakh, ensuring essential energy is affordable and accessible for all.

Last week, Bollywood Hungama reported that Deepak Tijori had complained about shows of his Gujarati film Get Set Go being removed despite the film performing well. He further alleged that this was done to accommodate Batwara 1947 and Awarapan 2. Following our report, the issue was picked up by several other media outlets. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the veteran actor-filmmaker spoke at length about the controversy, the challenges faced by Gujarati films in securing screens and a lot more. After you raised your voice, how has the Gujarati industry reacted? Did other Gujarati filmmakers also reach out to you? Yes. Most Gujarati filmmakers have gone through this ordeal. They have now started talking about it as well. Vaishal Shah, who has made several films along with Anand Pandit, has also spoken about it. He reiterated how important it was to raise our voice. Producer Abhilash Ghoda, too, echoed our sentiments. Rakeshbhai Patel, the owner of Wide Angle multiplex, also supported us, and so did the owner of Connplex. They are all in our favour. These theatres get bullied by the national chains. They are now seriously considering speaking to the government and asking for a rule whereby cinemas are required to compulsorily play Gujarati films, just as it is done in Maharashtra for Marathi films. I am hopeful that something will come out of it. Now that Toxic has been released, the situation will get even worse. God knows what would happen to the Gujarati film Tom & Cherry, which releases this Friday (August 28). In short, we just dont get screens. Its like we are making Gujarati films for just one week! How can you make money in one week? Its a joke! Did raising your voice help you get more screens? Yes, it had an impact. For instance, Connplex and Wide Angle owners immediately supported us. Connplex brought back our film in some centres. Wide Angle, too, played our show, though they got into a tough situation. Yet, they said, Deepak bhai, we have liked your film and would love to showcase it. Batwara 1947 is produced by Aamir Khan, with whom you have had a long association. Did you talk to him and apprise him of the situation? No. Unko bolke faayda nahin hai. These are the power games played not by the producers but the distributors and national chains. National chains waale boss hai. They straight away make it clear that Hum log ko jo mahine mein khilata-pilata hai, woh hamare maai baap hai! You did so many films in the 90s and something of this sort never happened at that time Not at all. I also faced it during the release of my directorial, Tipppsy (2024). Three films had been released at that time. One film was of T-Series (Srikanth) while the other was a Hollywood film (Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes). The management at the multiplexes categorically informed me, We cant give you even one evening show. We can lose our jobs! We are your fans and we love you. But please understand our predicament. They revealed that they need to justify the programming. Otherwise, they would be asked, Why did you give this one show? Tera kya rishta hai unke saath? Tumhara ration paani humse chalta hai. How can you do this to us?. I did a Gujarati film after so many years as the subject is strong. People have also loved the action and treatment, which is at par with global standards. Even the critics spoke so well about our film. As for the audience, you have no idea how much love I have got. It's unbelievable. From the kids to the older generation, everyone has lapped it up. Hence, it's unfortunate that it had to suffer in such a manner. You directed Oops (2003) which clashed with Hungama. Koi Mil Gaya released a week later and Tere Naam a week after that. Fareb (2005) clashed with Dus and a week later, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya was released. Both your films were small or mid-budget and yet I believe they faced no problem in getting screens True. Then, we never had any problem. The distributors used to see the film and then decide the show-sharing. Now that practice is gone. Today, many multiplexes have 8 or 10 screens. Yet, its shocking that they were unable to provide even one show to your film Exactly. My ask was just 1 show or 2 prime shows. I didnt even ask for 1 full screen. At least, people should know that the film is running. It is plain dadagiri. I can understand if youre doing it based on the films performance at the box office. But indulging in such practices without any valid reason is simply unfair. This whole attitude of, Hum aa rahe hain toh aap sab hat jao is wrong.

Speaking up takes courage: Miss Universe India Keziah Mejo praises protesting youth
Miss Universe India 2026 Keziah Liz Mejo has praised the courage of young people who recently participated in protests in Delhi, saying that raising one's voice for what is right reflects love and pride for the nation. Mejo said she feels proud to represent a generation that is confident, fearless and supportive of social causes. Speaking to PTI about the recent youth-led protests in Delhi, Mejo said, I salute each and every single one of those students, each soul that stepped out ready to protest what is right, everybody who joined hands for the betterment of our nation. She added, It takes a lot of courage to be able to speak up. It takes a lot of pride, a lot of love for your country. The protests at Delhis Jantar Mantar began on June 20 over alleged NEET paper leak. The movement, led by the satirical outfit Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), later spread to other parts of the country. The agitation concluded on July 25 after the government held discussions with CJP representatives and agreed to address several demands, including compensation for families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide and withdrawal of FIRs registered against protesters. Calling herself incredibly proud to be part of todays youth generation, Mejo said, That is the India that I represent. The 19-year-old from Kerala will now represent India at the 75th Miss Universe competition in Puerto Rico later this year. Despite her success in the pageant world, Mejo said she continues to pursue her dream of becoming a lawyer. She believes her legal ambitions and her pageant journey can work together to create a positive impact. I absolutely love law. I have wanted to become a lawyer since grade nine, and I am not ready to let that go. I do not believe you have to choose between your dreams. You can allow them to work together and amplify each other, she said. Mejo added that she hopes to use her knowledge of law along with the Miss Universe India platform to bring about meaningful change. She won the Miss Universe India 2026 title after competing against 51 contestants at the Jaipur grand finale. Vaishnavi Ganesh from Tamil Nadu was declared the first runner-up, while Gujarats Anushri Satavlekar secured the second runner-up position.
