Andhra's unilateral ban on mangoes against spirit of federalism: Siddaramaiah
Siddaramaiah
has urged Chandrababu Naidu, his Andhra Pradesh counterpart, to withdraw the ban on transport of Totapuri mangoes from Karnataka into Chittoor district.
The decision to write to Naidu came on Wednesday, a day after mango producers and farmers dumped their produce on streets of Srinivaspura in Kolar. In his letter, Siddaramaiah asked Naidu to intervene in the matter and issue directions to Chittoor district authorities to immediately revoke the ban.
Siddaramaiah revealed that the AP govt has stationed multidisciplinary enforcement teams comprising personnel from revenue, police, forest, and marketing departments at inter-state checkposts adjoining Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to implement the ban.
"This abrupt and unilateral move has caused considerable hardship to mango growers in Karnataka, particularly those in the border regions who cultivate Totapuri mangoes in substantial quantities," Siddaramaiah said.
He said farmers in border districts rely heavily on robust links with Chittoor-based processing and pulp extraction units for marketing their produce. "The current restriction has disrupted this well-established supply chain and threatens significant post-harvest losses, directly impacting livelihoods of thousands of farmers.

Moreover, actions of this nature, taken without prior consultation or coordination, run contrary to the spirit of cooperative federalism," wrote Siddaramaiah.
He expressed concern that the AP decision may lead to avoidable tension and retaliatory measures, with stakeholders already expressing discontent that could potentially disrupt the inter-state movement of vegetables and agricultural commodities.
Karnataka chief secretary Shalini Rajneesh had also previously written to her AP counterpart K Vijayanand, demanding that the state lift the ban. In her letter, she pointed out that Chittoor's district collector, in an order on June 7, had banned entry of 'Totapuri' mangoes from other states.
"There is an apprehension that affected stakeholders in Karnataka may obstruct vegetable inflows from Andhra Pradesh, escalating into unnecessary inter-state tensions, something we must strive to avoid," the letter states. She urged Vijayanand to "immediately intervene" and get the collector to revoke the order.

Air India crash: Victims entitled to compensation, regardless of fault
While the initial findings of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) into last month's Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad did not explicitly attribute the incident to pilot error, insurance industry experts have stated that, even if pilot error were the cause, it would not affect insurance claim payouts. Regardless of whether the cause is pilot error or any other form of systemic failure, the victims remain eligible for compensation, they said. The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad a month ago, killing 260 people, including those on board the flight and those on the ground, with only a single survivor from the incident. 'The insurance amount has to be paid by the airline because even if it was pilot error that caused the accident, that is covered in the policy. The insurance amount has to be paid irrespective of the scenario. Also, some of the victims have approached a UK law firm to get better compensation,' an insurance broker told Business Standard. The only case where there could be a change in the insurance payout is if Air India's management were found to have been aware of the accident. Only if the accident was deliberate by the airline would there be any change in the payout. 'A pilot's mistake does not change anything. The insurance is still payable. Only if the management has deliberately crashed the aircraft or were aware of the pilot's condition, people might be eligible for higher compensation. But, it is too early to comment on it,' another insurance broker told Business Standard. Typically, an aviation claim includes three kinds of liabilities: damage to the aircraft; loss of lives on board the aircraft, including the crew members; and third-party liability for loss of lives caused by the crash. It also includes cargo liability. The third-party liability compensation for those who lost their lives is governed by the Montreal Convention, which applies to most international flights. Under the Convention, airlines are strictly liable for damages up to a certain threshold—currently around SDR 128,821, or approximately ₹1.50 crore per passenger—and can be held liable for higher amounts if negligence, including pilot error, is proven. Industry experts have estimated insurance claims to the tune of $475 million, with $125 million for the hull and the remaining $350 million for liability, which includes third-party liability as well. The major part of the claims will likely be borne by global reinsurers, as aviation policies are typically structured with primary insurers transferring a significant portion of the risk through reinsurance arrangements. State-owned GIC Re is responsible for about 5.15 per cent of the $475 million—4 per cent from obligatory cession and 1.15 per cent written through its London branch. It will make the provision in Q1, which will be less than ₹200 crore. Air India had insured its fleet for $20 billion with Indian insurers, including TATA AIG General Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, New India Insurance, and other state-owned general insurance companies. TATA AIG has provided coverage for 30-40 per cent of the risk and is the lead insurer among the primary insurers.

4 smart ways to get a job before even vacancy gets listed, according to a Reddit user
In today's job market, where applications flood in within seconds of a posting going live, standing out requires more than just clicking 'Apply.' A Reddit user recently shared a set of simple yet effective strategies that helped them secure interviews even before the job listings were publicly available. Their post seemingly offers practical, real-world hacks—based on personal trial and error—rather than the usual textbook advice. Track Companies Before the Hiring Starts The user highlighted the importance of proactively following companies you're genuinely interested in—especially on platforms like LinkedIn or Instagram. Many firms drop subtle hints such as 'team expanding soon' or 'exciting roles coming up.' This is often a signal that a job opening may be around the corner. Acting during this early window can give candidates a head-start before the position appears on job boards and attracts hundreds of applicants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo Reach Out to Managers, Not Just HR Instead of waiting for HR or a recruiter, the Redditor found success by directly messaging team managers. The trick, they noted, is to keep the message simple and professional. A casual but clear note expressing interest in a specific team or project—without overselling—helped them start conversations that HR pipelines typically miss. The user stressed not to make it awkward or overly formal, just a short message showing awareness and interest. Use Expired Job Posts to Your Advantage An unconventional tactic that worked involved expired or previously closed job listings. Rather than ignoring them, the Reddit user treated them as leads. If a company recently looked for a skillset, there's a chance they're still hiring or will be soon. By referencing the old posting and offering to connect based on those criteria, they were able to reopen interest in their profile—even after the official deadline had passed. Stay Present in Their Online Circles The final strategy was about visibility. By engaging with company posts, commenting thoughtfully, or sharing relevant content, the Redditor found that their name started becoming familiar to potential hiring teams. While they admitted it can feel awkward, that low-key presence sometimes helped them stay top-of-mind when an opportunity came up. Despite being ghosted many times, the Redditor confirmed that these steps helped land two interviews—without ever formally applying through the usual portals. Their approach boils down to being early, intentional, and slightly persistent—especially in a job market where timing and visibility matter more than ever.
