5 years on, India resumes tourist visas to Chinese
NEW DELHI: After a five-year hiatus, and ahead of a possible visit by PM Narendra Modi to China next month for the SCO summit, India announced resumption of tourist visas for Chinese nationals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Both sides have looked to facilitate people-to-people exchanges to normalise ties. China, which has been keen to resume direct air services, welcomed the decision as a positive move. The Indian embassy in Beijing announced the decision effective July 24 on Weibo, China's microblogging site, on a day the two countries also held another round of diplomatic talks on border affairs, expressing satisfaction with the "general prevalence of peace and tranquillity in the border areas, leading to gradual normalisation of bilateral relations". India and China have had frequent high-level engagements since Modi's meeting with President Xi Jinping in Kazan last year, following the agreement to complete the disengagement of troops at the remaining friction points in eastern Ladakh. The decision to restart tourist visa services for Chinese nationals is the second significant step towards normalisation, after the resumption of Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. China welcomes India decision on tourist visas The Chinese foreign ministry said, "This is a positive move. Easing cross-border travel serves the interests of all parties. China will maintain communication and consultation with India to further facilitate travel between the two countries." Chinese foreign minister and special representative (SR) for boundary talks Wang Yi is expected to visit India soon for the next round of SR (special representative) talks with NSA Ajit Doval and, with the thaw in ties holding up, Modi himself is likely to visit China for the SCO summit, to be held Aug 31-Sept 1. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If it happens, this will be Modi's first visit to the country in seven years. During his recent visit to China, foreign minister S Jaishankar had said, while citing the complex international situation, that as neighbouring nations and major economies, an open exchange of views and perspectives between India and China was very important. In the Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination (WMCC) talks on India-China border affairs, according to an Indian readout, the two sides agreed to maintain regular exchanges and contacts on issues related to the boundary affairs at the diplomatic and military levels through established mechanisms. The focus was also on the upcoming SR talks for which Wang will be in India. "The two sides also prepared for the next round of Special Representatives' talks on the India-China boundary question to be held in India later this year," the Indian readout said. Doval had travelled to China for the last round of SR boundary talks in Dec 2024. Doval and Wang had then reiterated the importance of maintaining a "political perspective of the overall bilateral relationship" while seeking a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable framework for settlement of boundary question, and resolved to inject vitality into the process.

30k properties have no mention in NMC database, not in tax net
1 2 Nagpur: A recent land use verification exercise by the development plan (DP) unit of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) revealed 30,000 previously unrecorded structures or properties within city limits. This discovery raises serious questions about tax evasion and gaps in civic data integration. The DP unit discovered the structures while verifying existing land use as part of its urban planning mandate. Following the revelation, the NMC's property tax department initiated a detailed cross-verification of the data. Officials plan to superimpose the new findings on the corporation's existing GIS (geographical information system) property database to identify properties not included in the tax net. Speaking to TOI, a senior official from the property tax department said, "The DP team surveyed and marked polygons for structures that do not exist in our current system. These structures may include buildings constructed on what were previously recorded as open plots, and we may already be levying tax based only on open plot status." He added that the property tax department will now overlay the new polygons received from the DP survey onto the GIS database to match them against the existing tax records.

It's likely that updated data will capture new buildings constructed in the last few years that were never officially reported," the official said. Currently, NMC levies tax on around 6.37 lakh properties. However, the number of constructed properties may be significantly higher if these 30,000 new units are found to be genuine and taxable. Tax officials admitted that in many cases, building permissions are either delayed or not reported to the tax department, leading to gaps between actual construction and tax assessment. The ongoing integration between the DP's updated land use records and the GIS-based taxation system is expected to bridge this gap. NMC officials confirmed that once the GIS superimposition is completed, a ground-truthing exercise will follow to verify the physical status of each new property. Based on the results, the civic body may issue fresh assessment notices to bring these properties under the tax net — potentially boosting municipal revenue significantly.

MCD: New dumping began after cleaning Singhola landfill site
New Delhi: Facing criticism for developing a fourth landfill at Singhola after Okhla, Bhalswa and Ghazipur, Municipal Corporation of Delhi claimed that it cleared all the deposited silt at the 7.2-acre location through bioremediation by mid-June. Over six months, 7.59 lakh MT of silt was removed. Following the site clearance, the dumping of silt from eight zones—Shahdara North, Shahdara South, Civil Lines, City SP, Rohini, Narela, Keshav Puram and Karol Bagh—started on July 1 as no alternative location was available, officials said. Daily bioremediation and biomining processes were implemented to prevent substantial waste accumulation, they added. In 2018, Delhi Development Authority allotted the land in Khampur village to the erstwhile east corporation for silt disposal. Subsequently, other agencies, including Public works Department and the irrigation & flood control department, also began utilising the site to dump silt collected during their yearly pre-monsoon drainage cleaning operations. "As a result, within five years of the allotment, the land ran out of capacity," said an official.

A process to invite tenders started in March 2024 to identify an agencies to implement the task. "MCD awarded the desilting tender in Nov 2024, with 8,000MT of silt reportedly processed daily. The work started after the Supreme Court's direction and the final cost of the project turned out to be Rs 46 crore," said the official. Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh added that BJP govt was fully committed to eradicating the mountains of garbage in the city in a time-bound manner and MCD was working diligently to make Delhi clean and green. Most of the silt was earlier sent to Bhalswa, Ghazipur and Okhla landfills, according to officials. Due to the need to decrease the height of these landfills, especially Bhalswa, within fixed timelines, the authorities decided to transfer the silt generated after the cleaning of drains to Singhola.
