Indian delegation in US, Trump says 'we're going to have access' as trade talks progress
Trade talks between the US and India are gaining momentum as President Donald Trump signals progress on a potential trade deal, crediting his tariff policies for opening 'access' to Indian markets read more US President Donald Trump on Tuesday asserted that the country is making notable progress in gaining access to India's markets, attributing the breakthrough to his tough tariff policies and hinting at an outcome toward a coming trade deal. He said that his tariffs have helped the US dismantle barriers that previously hindered American businesses. 'We're going to have access into India,' Trump said, while announcing a trade agreement with Indonesia following a call with President Prabowo Subianto. 'You have to understand, we had no access into any of these countries. Our people couldn't go in. And now we're getting access because of what we're doing with the tariffs.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD #WATCH | US President Donald Trump says, "We made a deal with Indonesia. I spoke to their really great we made the deal. We have full access to Indonesia, everything. As you know, Indonesia is very strong on copper, but we have full access to everything. We will… — ANI (@ANI) July 15, 2025 Although the White House has not released concrete information about the scope or progress of the proposed US-India trade agreement, Trump's comments point to a fresh effort to reshape America's trade ties across Asia. Moreover, a high-level team from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is also in the US to negotiate further, as India is firm on protecting its dairy and agriculture sector. Trump pointed out that his tough tariff stance is yielding results. 'Now we're getting access,' he repeated, positioning the development as a direct outcome of his trade policies. Donald Trump has frequently insisted that a trade deal with India is almost finalized, though a few outstanding issues remain. Interestingly, experts on US-India relations suggest it's actually beneficial that Trump hasn't yet sent an official letter to New Delhi. Meanwhile, India's trade delegation, headed by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal, is in Washington for scheduled talks, fueling renewed hopes for a potential agreement. Among all US trading partners facing Trump's proposed 'reciprocal tariffs,' India is the largest and stands out because, unlike the EU, South Korea, Japan, Canada, and Mexico, it has not received a formal letter from Trump threatening 25 to 35 percent tariffs starting August 1.

DMC and Tinsukia NFR partner to better waste management at 12 Dibrugarh rail colonies
1 2 3 4 Dibrugarh: In a significant step toward improving urban cleanliness, Dibrugarh Municipal Corporation (DMC) and the Tinsukia division of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) signed an MoU on Tuesday for door-to-door municipal solid waste (MSW) collection from 12 railway colonies across the city. The agreement, signed in the presence of DMC commissioner Jay Vikas and executive officer Novas Das, is expected to enhance sanitation and public hygiene, with services set to begin by mid-Aug. Under the initiative, DMC will oversee daily waste collection, transportation, and disposal for 1,488 authorised railway households and 1,027 unauthorised households spread across the 12 railway colonies in Dibrugarh. The colonies covered under the scheme include the Divisional Railway Hospital premises at Naliapool, Barbari Railway Colony, Naliapool Railway Colony, Kadamoni Railway Colony, Chowkidingee Railway Colony, Dibru Railway Colony, Mansarovar Railway Colony, Chiringaon Railway Colony, Kalibari Railway Colony, Gabharupathar Railway Colony, Bansbari Railway Colony, and Banipur Railway Colony. "This collaboration marks a crucial milestone in Dibrugarh's journey toward sustainable waste management. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giá vàng đang tăng mạnh trong năm 2025 — Các nhà giao dịch thông minh đã tham gia IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo By extending our services to railway colonies, we aim to create a cleaner and healthier environment for all residents," Vikas said. The Railway administration will contribute Rs 200 per authorised household per month for the service. Additionally, railway authorities will play an active role in promoting waste segregation and ensuring adherence to cleanliness norms among residents. The DMC will also provide desilting services for railway drains upon written request at approved rates. The MoU will remain valid for two years and includes provisions for regular monitoring, billing, and grievance redressal. However, the agreement explicitly excludes hazardous and biomedical waste from the DMC's responsibilities. DMC has assured that waste collection vehicles will follow a fixed schedule to ensure timely disposal. The civic body will also conduct awareness campaigns to educate residents on the importance of segregating dry and wet waste. With the MoU now in place, both the DMC and the Tinsukia railway division are optimistic about the project's success. "This is a win-win situation for both parties. While the railways get a systematic waste management system, the DMC can expand its services to more areas, contributing to a greener Dibrugarh," Vikas added. Residents have welcomed the move, expressing hope for better waste management in their neighbourhoods. "For years, waste disposal has been a challenge in railway colonies. This initiative will not only keep our surroundings clean but also raise awareness about proper waste segregation," Dibrugarh resident Parag Dutta said.

Take permanent licence to serve liquor, excise department to tell restaurants
Noida: Excise officials in Noida and Ghaziabad have been directed to encourage restaurants and venues using occasional bar licences to shift to permanent licences. Noida issues around 400-500 occasional bar licences every month, while Ghaziabad sees 200-300 of these in the same duration. At a review meeting on Monday, chaired by UP excise commissioner Adarsh Singh at Shakti Sadan Guest House in Noida, officials were directed to encourage eatery owners to make this shift for better revenue collection. "These FL-11 category licences are typically availed by restaurants that do not have the required NOCs from other departments like the local authority or the fire department and hence do not have a permanent bar licence, but want to serve liquor to customers on specific days. Under the new UP excise policy, each occasional licence now costs Rs 33,000 for restaurants and can be issued only for a period of three consecutive days," said GB Nagar district excise officer Subodh Kumar.

"All excise inspectors must ensure area-wise monitoring of FL-11 licences and encourage eligible establishments to apply for permanent bar licences as per the rules," he said during the meeting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compra CFD de Ecopetrol con sólo $200 y empieza a ganar. VICI Undo The cost of a permanent bar licence is Rs 15 lakh per annum. "In cases where there are such restaurants which have NOCs from other departments and still are running on occasional licences to serve liquor, they have been asked to apply for a permanent bar licence," said Rakesh Tripathi, excise inspector in Ghaziabad. Others in attendance at the meeting include the joint excise commissioner of Meerut zone, deputy excise commissioner of Meerut division, district excise officers from GB Nagar and Ghaziabad, assistant excise commissioners posted at distilleries and breweries in Ghaziabad, and excise inspectors from both districts. The commissioner also ordered strict checking of farmhouses located along the Haryana border and directed officials to intensify operations to curb the inflow of illegal liquor from neighbouring states. Officers were told to remain vigilant in border areas and take prompt action against violations. To meet revenue targets, the Commissioner directed officials to maximise liquor supply indents through wholesale licences and district bonds. Enforcement activities are also to be strengthened. Later in the day, the excise commissioner and the GB Nagar district excise officer inspected two new licenced establishments in Sector 43 – the LAB (Low Alcoholic Beverage) Premium Retail Liquor Boulevard (FL-4D) and the MISS NORA restaurant bar (FL-7(1)) in Rcube Monad Mall. In Ghaziabad, the Excise Commissioner visited the Mohan Makin distillery in Mohan Nagar.
