Court slaps Rs 1 crore fine on private dairy for copying Milma branding
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Principal Commercial Court in Thiruvananthapuram has imposed a penalty of Rs 1 crore on Milnna, a private dairy, for copying the cover design and brand name of Milma on its milk packets an act the court ruled as a violation of trade laws. In a statement issued on Wednesday, Milma said the court has also barred Milnna from advertising, marketing, or selling milk or any dairy products using trademarks or packaging that resemble Milmas branding. Additionally, the court directed Milnna to pay `8,18,410 to Milma to cover litigation costs. Milma Chairman K S Mani welcomed the verdict, calling it a stern warning to companies attempting to mislead consumers with counterfeit branding and damage the reputation of the state-run cooperative. Milma is a major cooperative network of dairy farmers in India. We remain committed to protecting the interests of our farmers and the integrity of our brand, he said. Milma had initiated legal proceedings in 2022 against two private dairies, including Milnna, for imitating its name and packaging design.
Kerala police clearance rule hits hiring in private bus sector
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A recently introduced rule requiring police clearance certificates (PCCs) for private bus crew is beginning to impact employment in Keralas bus industry, which provides jobs to nearly 40,000 people. Bus operators and trade unions allege that PCCs are being denied even in cases where employees are involved in police cases-such as family-related property disputes or participation in trade union protests involving picketing. The rule, introduced by the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) in May as part of a broader effort to enhance safety on public transport, mandates that all crew members drivers, conductors, and cleaners - must obtain police clearance. The PCC must be presented during inspections by police or MVD officials. While the MVDs order outlines specific categories under which PCCs can be granted or denied, bus operators claim that police officials are failing to apply discretion in implementation. Denying clearance for participating in a political protest or being named in a family property dispute case is unfair and could lead to job loss, pushing the industry into crisis, said T Gopinathan, general secretary of the All Kerala Bus Operators Organisation. Following talks with Transport Minister K B Ganesh Kumar, the MVD has temporarily suspended enforcement of the rule.

Not aware of transfer of government officials in Belagavi district, says Minister Satish Jarkiholi
BELAGAVI: The transfer of government officials in Belagavi district has once again sparked political unrest. A fresh controversy has emerged following reports that several transfer decisions were made without the knowledge or consent of District Minister Satish Jarkiholi. According to sources, Jarkiholi, considered a close aide of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has expressed dissatisfaction over the recent transfer process. While he had previously raised concerns privately, this time he is said to have voiced his objections directly in the Chief Ministers presence. During the discussion, Jarkiholi reportedly questioned how many of the transfer recommendations he had submitted were approved, compared to those backed by other leaders. His candid expression of displeasure is said to have caught many by surprise. Though typically uninvolved in transfer-related matters, Jarkiholi is believed to have intervened this time due to concerns over administrative efficiency and the overall development of Belagavi district. Growing allegations suggest that certain individuals have been misusing the names of ministers and MLAs to influence transfers, allegedly demanding large sums of money to secure or facilitate postings. Sources said that many officers who spent heavily to obtain previous transfers are disillusioned with the outcomes.

Kuki woman shot dead, Meitei farmer injured in fresh Manipur violence
GUWAHATI: In fresh violence in Manipur, a Kuki woman was shot dead while a Meitei farmer sustained bullet wounds on Thursday. Ningthoujam Biren, the farmer, was injured when a bullet fired by alleged Kuki militants hit him in his left forearm. The incident occurred at Phubala in Bishnupur district of the Imphal Valley at around 3:15 p.m. when Biren was working in his field along with two other farmers. The Meitei-majority Bishnupur district adjoins the Kuki-majority Churachandpur district. The injured man, who was rushed to a hospital, said he had heard the sound of five gunshots. Following the incident, angry locals blocked a highway leading to Churachandpur district. They suspected the involvement of Kuki militants and demanded action against them. Local women demanded the presence of top state government officials at Phubala, warning that there would be a total shutdown of the state from Friday if their demand was not met. When reports last came in, the situation was said to be tense. Meanwhile, the Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights condemned the killing of Hoikholhing Haokip, wife of Langchingmanbi village chief Khaikhogin Haokip, allegedly by Meitei militants at Langchingmanbi in Churachandpur district. Despite the presence of a government-declared buffer zone intended to prevent clashes between Meitei and Kuki communities, Meitei militants have repeatedly violated and crossed the buffer line, provoking tensions and directly endangering the lives of innocent civilians, the organisation said in a statement. It demanded the immediate arrest and punishment of the perpetrators of the crime, strict enforcement of the buffer zone with equal accountability on both sides, deployment of neutral central forces to ensure peace, and a judicial inquiry into this incident as well as all recent buffer zone violations. The ethnic conflict between Meiteis and Kukis, which erupted on 3 May 2023, has left over 250 people dead and around 60,000 others displaced.

NEW DELHI: Officials of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) held a meeting with insurgent Kuki-Zo groups and persuaded them to relocate and shut down seven designated camps under the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement that are located near Meitei-dominated areas, sources said. They added that the MHA officials also stressed the recovery of looted weapons and the reopening of National Highways. Notably, security agencies on the ground in Manipur had earlier proposed the closure of seven out of 14 existing camps situated close to Meitei-inhabited areas in the Valley, the sources said. A source familiar with the talks said, The second round of talks was held earlier this week, where the two sides reached an understanding on the closure and relocation of at least seven SoO camps located close to Meitei-populated zones. He, however, clarified that there was no discussion on the extension of the SoO agreement, as the talks primarily focused on revising the ground rules, which is seen as a more immediate priority. FIR registered after Kuki student leader allegedly threatened Meiteis attending Shirui Festival The locations for the new camps would be discussed in a third meeting, which is yet to be scheduled. It has also been agreed in principle that any relocated camps should be in tribal areas, the source added. Rajya Sabha MP and ceremonial King of Manipur, Leishemba Sanajaoba, wrote in a Facebook post: The SoO Pact was signed in 2008 during the then State Congress Government with two Kuki-Zo umbrella insurgent groups UPF and KNO, comprising 25 groups with around 2,200 cadres. Earlier, their demand was autonomy, but after May 2023, they demanded a Union Territory or separate administration with a Legislative Assembly for the Kuki-Zo people. Such grave missteps of the previous government led to the chaotic situations in the state. The UPF and KNO had signed the tripartite SoO agreement in 2008 with the Centre and the state as parties to the pact, and since then, around 2,200 cadres from these 25 constituent groups have been residing in 14 designated camps across the hill districts of Manipur. As there was no discussion on the extension of the SoO agreement, representatives of the insurgent groups reportedly presented new proposals involving security arrangements. The MHA emphasised two key concerns the recovery of looted weapons and restoring full operation of National Highway-37 (ImphalJiribamSilchar) and National Highway-2 (DimapurImphalMoreh), both of which have remained blocked since ethnic violence erupted on May 3, 2023.

Apple just showed off its custom camera made from iPhone partsand we want one
Macworld In case you havent heard, Apples big Brad Pitt movie, F1, opens next week, and the company is in full-on promotion mode. There was Craig Federighis hair , followed by an incredible haptic trailer , a Brad Pitt sighting at the Apple Store, and an Apple Pay promotion with Fandango. Now, Apple is showing off one of the gadgets it used to film the movie. According to a report by Wired , Apple used iPhone 15 Pro parts (the movie was filmed in 2023), namely the 48MP wide-angle camera, A17 Pro processor, and battery. Apple also added a neutral density filter over the lens to reduce the light entering the lens, giving film editors more control over exposure. Apple made a special camera with iPhone parts for its upcoming F1 movie. Wired To handle the intense speeds and extreme conditions, Apple built a custom module for the camera, which is extremely aerodynamic and attached to the side of the car like a mirror. Apple told Wired the camera is designed to endure extreme shock, vibrations, and heatit supposedly surpassed the specs provided by Formula One. Apple explains that the camera needed to be hooked up to an iPad via USB-C to adjust things like frame rate, exposure gain, shutter angle, and white balance, as well as start and stop recordings, since there are no wireless chips on board. While Apple will obviously never release its F1 camera for sale, it could be a glimpse into its rumored smart home security camera . While the design and functionality are likely to be much different, Apple will almost certainly use iPhone camera sensors and chips in the device, which could ship as early as this fall. Meanwhile, you can see Apples camera in action on the big screen when F1 arrives in theaters next Friday.
