PM-eBus Sewa scheme: Min urges Centre to give subsidies to states
Mangaluru: The central govt should provide direct subsidies to state govts to procure electric buses under the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme, instead of allocating them to private operators under the PPP model, said Karnataka transport minister Ramalinga Reddy. He was speaking after inaugurating the new automated driving test track at Kamblapadavu in Pajir village, Ullal taluk, on Sunday. The procurement and operation of electric buses was easy during the UPA regime. While the central govt was providing 50% of the fund, the state and its transport corporations had to invest 25% each to operate buses. Now, under the NDA regime, buses are not given directly to states but instead procured through tenders, and the subsidy goes to the participating bidders. They will own the buses, hire drivers, and also maintain the vehicles while the state corporations have to appoint conductors and pay the operators on a kilometre basis. The minister suggested that the central govt should directly pay the subsidy to the state transport corporations across the nation. He added that a discussion in this regard was held with Union minister HK Kumaraswamy too. On 100 electric buses sanctioned to Mangaluru under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme, the minister said the depot and terminal will be developed soon after land was identified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invertir con Cervecería Nacional CFD, si tienes 30 o más, puede alegrar tu cuenta bancaria Empieza a invertir hoy Más información Undo On the new automated driving test track, Reddy said Karnataka will have the highest number of automated driving test stations in the country. "In fact, chief minister Siddaramaiah was scheduled to inaugurate the facility, which was developed at a cost of Rs 7.5 crore. However, due to technical reasons, the programme was postponed. Govt has been providing automated driving test tracks at 42 centres covering all districts in the state," he said. Karnataka assembly speaker UT Khader presided while Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta, among others, were guests. Automated test to begin in 10 days RTO Sridhar K Mallad said the new automated driving test station set up as per the guidelines of the central govt will replace the manual inspections. "Further, it will increase efficiency while preventing corruption and interference of middlemen. There are separate automated driving test tracks for two-wheelers, light motor vehicles, and heavy vehicles," he said. "The manual facility at Vamanjoor will be shifted to the new facility at Kamblapadavu within a few days. The new automated driving test track will be made operational within 10 days after the services are linked to the NIC. Once the linking process is completed, applicants will have to apply and book slots for tests online," he said.

Ulfa-I claims 3 cadres dead in drone strikes on Myanmar camps; Army denies
1 2 Guwahati: The banned insurgent group, United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (Ulfa-I), claimed that three of its cadres were killed in a targeted drone attack in at least three waves on its mobile camps in Myanmar's Sagaing region near the India-Myanmar border by the Indian Army early Sunday morning. The Ulfa-I said between 2am and 4am, over 150 drones of Indian Army, manufactured in Israel and France, struck several mobile camps of Ulfa-I, and Revolutionary People's Front (RPF), the political wing of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur along the India-Myanmar international border region between Longwa (Nagaland) and Pangsau Pass (Arunachal Pradesh). The group claimed that attack resulted in the death of senior Ulfa-I leader Nayan Asom and injuries to 19 other members. In a subsequent statement, it claimed that two more senior leaders — Ganesh Asom and Pradip Asom — were killed in a second wave of attack during Nayan Asom's funeral rites. The Indian Army has officially denied involvement in the alleged drone stricks. Defence ministry PRO Lt Col Mahendra Rawat told TOI in Guwahati, "There are no inputs with the Indian Army on such operation." In another statement later, Ulfa-I dismissed the Indian Army's denial, saying people in Arunachal Pradesh's border area are witness to the three waves of drone attacks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Assam's chief minister and state police also denied any involvement or knowledge of operations, stating that further clarity is expected as more information surfaces. A security source confirmed that there were losses of life at the Ulfa-I camp in Myanmar, but it emphasised that, given the current crisis in Myanmar — where the military junta is embroiled in a widespread civil war with numerous ethnic armed groups and insurgents — the cause of the incident could be internal to Myanmar itself. "The ongoing civil war in Myanmar has led to frequent clashes, shifting alliances, and a general breakdown of state control in many areas, particularly near international borders. In this environment, attacks on insurgent camps — including those used by Ulfa-I — could plausibly originate from Myanmar's own ethnic armed organisations or even from the Myanmar military, rather than from Indian forces," the source said. Since the late 1980s and 1990s, Indian insurgent groups began establishing camps in Myanmar's border areas to escape Indian security operations. The porous border and ongoing conflict have made the region a hotspot for cross-border militant activity. Indian security agencies have expressed concern over the use of Myanmar's territory by insurgents for launching attacks in northeast India. There have been previous instances of Indian military action or alleged cross-border strikes, but official confirmation is rare and often denied by both Indian and Myanmar authorities. Ulfa's main camps are reportedly in the dense forests of Sagaing, with key bases at Waktham Basti, Hoyat Basti, and Hakiyot (opposite Longding district, Arunachal Pradesh). Some camps are said to be near the Pangmi Naga area and along the China-Myanmar border. Manipur-based groups, including PLA, KYKL, and PREPAK, also operate from these areas. The NSCN-K(YA) faction has set up its headquarters and camps in Naga-inhabited regions of Sagaing, often within a 6 to 10 km radius of other Indian groups camps. These camps have been used continuously, with their locations shifting in response to military pressure. The Sagaing region and Naga-inhabited areas of Myanmar remain the primary strongholds for these Indian insurgent groups, often with support or tolerance from local armed factions or, at times, the Myanmar military. The ongoing civil war in Myanmar has further complicated the security landscape, with insurgent groups sometimes shifting allegiances or moving camps to avoid detection or attacks.

‘Bhumiputra' Shringla in RS, proud moment for Darjeeling
1 2 Darjeeling : It was a proud moment for Darjeeling on Sunday when son of the soil Harsh Vardhan Shringla — former foreign secretary and India's ambassador to the US — was nominated to Rajya Sabha by President Droupadi Murmu. An alumnus of Mayo College, Ajmer, and St Stephen's College, Delhi, Shringla topped the 1984 batch of the civil services and chose the Indian Foreign Service. Over a distinguished diplomatic career, he served as the high commissioner to Bangladesh and ambassador to Thailand. He played a key role during the landmark "Howdy Modi" event in Texas in 2019. He went on to serve as foreign secretary from 2020 to 2022 and later as the chief coordinator for India's G20 presidency in 2023. Shringla, however, remained connected to his roots. In May 2023, he launched the Darjeeling Welfare Society, sparking speculation about a possible Lok Sabha bid that he himself dismissed later. BJP eventually re-nominated Raju Bista, who has represented the seat since 2009.

His unique perspectives will greatly enrich Parliamentary proceedings," Modi posted on X. Reacting to the nomination, Shringla said: "I extend my grateful thanks to the Prime Minister and deep gratitude to the President for entrusting me with this sacred duty. I have always wanted to work in the service of the country and, even after retirement, I never stopped my endeavours in this regard. I am grateful for this opportunity and promise to do my best in working for the people, standing by the people and speaking for the people. I will continue to make the effort that is necessary to make my country stronger on the international stage," he said. Notably, a road in Bangladesh has even been named in his honour.
