Chandigarh MC fines Punjab & Sind Bank for violating waste management rules
The Chandigarh municipal corporation (MC) is taking a firm stand against institutions that fail to adhere to Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules. In a recent move, the corporation has penalised Punjab and Sind Bank's Sector 17-B branch with a ₹5,000 fine for illegally stacking construction and demolition waste. This action follows a fine of ₹13,500 levied on Punjab National Bank earlier on July 4, signalling a clear message that no entity is exempt from the city's cleanliness regulations. Municipal commissioner Amit Kumar has issued a stern warning to all violators, emphasising that no individual or institution is above the law when it comes to maintaining public hygiene. (HT File Photo) The Punjab and Sind Bank was found guilty of unauthorised stacking of construction and demolition (C&D) waste outside its premises without seeking prior permission, and for failing to clear the debris despite repeated reminders from the civic authorities. This action was taken after multiple notices and verbal communications failed to elicit any response from the institution. The unattended waste not only posed a public nuisance but also undermined the civic body's efforts to maintain a clean and garbage-free environment in the heart of the city. Municipal commissioner Amit Kumar has issued a stern warning to all violators, emphasising that no individual or institution is above the law when it comes to maintaining public hygiene. He reiterated the corporation's zero-tolerance policy against non-compliance with the SWM Rules and called upon all stakeholders to act responsibly and in accordance with the prescribed waste disposal norms. He said the beautification and cleanliness of Chandigarh cannot be compromised and urged all citizens, institutions, and businesses to follow the Rules strictly. Those found violating will face strict penalties without exception,' the Commissioner added. Commissioner Kumar said that the civic body will continue to monitor violations across the city, and such punitive actions will be taken wherever needed to enforce compliance and sustain Chandigarh's cleanliness standards.

Cognizant adds 7,500 in Q2, lifts outlook on robust deal wins
Bengaluru: While TCS is grappling with layoffs and other Indian IT firms with minimal net headcount additions, Nasdaq-listed Cognizant added 7,500 employees sequentially in the June quarter, bringing its workforce to 3.3 lakh. A significant portion of this came from onboarding fresh graduates in India. The company aims to hire 15,000 to 20,000 freshers this year, similar to last year. CEO S Ravi Kumar said the talent strategy will include hiring from non-traditional streams—biology majors, chartered accountants, legal experts—and training them on AI use cases relevant to their domains. "Our operating model is changing—we are moving towards smaller, agile teams that deliver specific outcomes," he added. Managers will lead teams comprising both human employees and AI agents. Kumar said freshers are now expected to write code alongside AI. "We want the productive to be more productive. We want broader access to these technologies so people can reimagine delivery for clients," he said. CFO Jatin Dalal said, "There will be some increase in the second half, but not large, as we double down on AI-led productivity and doing more with less. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elevate Business Writing With This Desktop App Grammarly Learn More Undo We'll keep hiring recent graduates while optimizing through AI." You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Cognizant's attrition fell to 15.2% in the June quarter from 15.8% in the prior quarter. The company raised the lower end of its full-year revenue guidance to 4–6% in constant currency after a strong Q2 performance. It reported 7.2% YoY constant currency revenue growth, driven by execution and large deal wins. The Belcan acquisition contributed about 400 basis points to this growth. Last year, Cognizant acquired US engineering R&D firm Belcan for $1.3 billion—its second-largest deal. This growth surpasses the upper end of its previous guidance. Cognizant closed six large deals in the quarter, including two mega contracts over $1 billion each. Kumar said, "We are gaining momentum in our execution, which is why we've raised the lower end of our guidance." Growth was fuelled by digital transformation and AI-led deals, especially in healthcare and financial services. AI is creating new tech services spending cycles, especially across finance, procurement, legal, and R&D—beyond traditional productivity-led arbitrage. The company now runs 2,500 active AI projects, up from 1,400 last quarter, many aligned with growth and innovation. Kumar added that both growth "swim lanes"—productivity and innovation—were active this quarter. Dalal emphasized that while the macro environment remains uncertain, narrowing the guidance is not due to visibility concerns. "Our outlook assumes no major macro improvement, but clients are clearly engaging in innovation spend," he said. Products and resources grew 14.7% in constant currency, followed by BFSI (6%), healthcare (5.3%), and communications (2.2%). Cognizant also plans to return $2 billion to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.
