Extension to bureaucrats after retirement in exceptional circumstances: Govt
New Delhi, Jul 30 (PTI) The government on Wednesday said service extension to IAS, IPS and other officers after retirement is given in exceptional circumstances and in public interest. The assertion came in response to a query seeking the details of the number of Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officers who have been given an extension after their retirement during the last five years. 'Extension of service after retirement is given in exceptional circumstances, in public interest to officers belonging to All India Services in accordance with provisions contained in All India Service (Death Cum Retirement Benefit) Rules, 1958/relevant rule," Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha. view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 18:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Main Stage singer forced to pull out of All Together Now
All Together Now has lost one of their top performers just days before getting underway after Michael Kiwanuka pulled out due to illness. The UK folk/soul singer announced the cancellation of a number of summer gigs, including the Waterford festival, after being advised by doctors not to perform. Michael was one of most highly-anticipated musicians getting ready to play in front of a sold-out All Together Now at Waterford's Curraghmore Estate this August Bank Holiday weekend. Michael Kiwanuka was forced to cancel a number of shows due to illness. Pic: Aldara Zarraoa/WireImage Unfortunately, fans travelling to Curraghmore hoping to see Michael will be left disappointed after his announcement on social media. It read: 'We are so sorry to announce that due to continued illness, and on the advice of doctors, Michael will sadly be unable to perform at the rest of his scheduled festival performances throughout the rest of the summer. 'We know that this is disappointing news to hear, and nobody is more disappointed and saddened than Michael to no longer be taking to the stage as planned.' Michael was due to perform at the Main Stage from 8.15pm to 9.30pm on Sunday, August 3. It is yet to be announced who will take his place but All Together Now confirmed on social media that the Main Stage schedule will be updated on the app in the near future. Michael Kiwanuka was due to perform on the main stage. Pic: Roberto Ricciuti/Redferns Michael is a Mercury Award-winning singer and his absence will no doubt be felt at the festival. He was also forced to pull out of a headlining tour of North America, in support of 2024 album Small Changes, with his illness. All Together Now attendees do however have a wide range of other artists at their disposal, with Fontaines DC, Bicep and Nelly Furtado headlining the festival. Other huge stars include CMAT, London Grammar, The Altered Hours, Wet Leg, Primal Scream, The Boomtown Rats and Madra Salach. There will also be live comedy from the likes of Tommy Tiernan and Reggie Watts. Despite the notable loss of Michael Kiwanuka from the lineup, there is no doubt that the 30,000 festival-goers are in for a cracking Bank Holiday weekend.

Closing Bell: Energy surge fails to power fizzling ASX
Losses outweigh gains despite energy sector lift ASX has bled 1.03pc over last week Resource 200 index falls 1.1pc and All Ord Gold 2pc Energy rally runs out of fuel Gains in the energy sector (+1.8%) just weren't enough to offset a bruised materials sector (-1.73%) today. The ASX 200 ended down 0.49% in one of our worst weeks of trading since Liberation Day knocked us all for six back in April. After setting two new record highs last week, the Aussie bourse has shed a full 1.03% over the past five trading days. It's now 1.25% below its 52-week average high. Weakness in gold stocks was the core driver of losses in resource stocks, but there was no support to be found in our top banks either – the banks index is down 0.5% today, while the All Ords Gold shed a full 2%. Woodside (ASX:WDS) was the top gainer for energy, adding 3.72% on improving oil prices. Santos (ASX:STO) also lifted 1% with Ampol (ASX:ALD) close behind, ticking up 0.92%. Only NexGen Energy (ASX:NXG) stood out amongst the midcaps, climbing 4.4% with an honourable mention from Deep Yellow (ASX:DYL). The uranium stock added 0.84%. AUSTRAC satisfied with NAB's financial crimes compliance The financial crimes watchdog has given NAB a pat on the back, finalising an Enforceable Undertaking with National Australia Bank (ASX:NAB) after it satisfied its obligations under the agreement. The EU was originally enforced over compliance with money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws. AUSTRAC was unhappy with NAB's customer identification procedures and related compliance efforts. AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas said NAB had demonstrated a commitment to ongoing compliance and to tackling the risks and harms posed by serious and organised crime. 'The closure of this EU reflects the progress NAB has made but it still doesn't give the business a clean bill of health,' he said. 'The EU set NAB on the right path, but compliance is not a one off task – it requires ongoing, incremental change. AUSTRAC expects NAB to continue to improve its systems and processes.' NAB CEO Andrew Irvine celebrated the finalisation of the EU. 'Through a transparent and constructive process with AUSTRAC and the external auditor, NAB has transformed our approach to managing financial crime,' he said. 'We remain focused on the challenges that financial crime presents to our customers and society. 'Banks play a critical role in monitoring and reporting suspicious, and potentially criminal, activity and we will continue to make investments that help to keep our customers, communities and bank safe.' Banks were already moving lower today and the good news wasn't enough to boost NAB's share price, which fell 0.45% to $37.49 a share by the end of trade.

The results come from just a small 100m by 100m area of the Ives Find prospective granite intrusive, which offers a 4km by 750m target zone that management reckons is ripe for high-grade gold veins. Read more about the drilling program here. Mount Burgess Mining (ASX:MTB) has hit another milestone in its restructuring efforts, now poised to eliminate $4.7m in debt under a loan settlement agreement that would see creditors forgive 95% of outstanding balances. Subject to shareholder approval, MTB will settle the remaining 5% via the issue of over 86m shares and 4.6m unlisted options. Kingfisher Mining (ASX:KFM) has laid hands to a veritable smorgasbord of new projects with a land package totalling about 700 square kilometres in the Broken Hill, Cobar and Macquarie Arc regions of New South Wales. The fresh acquisitions include the Copper Blow IOCG project, multiple copper and silver-lead-zinc prospects in Broken Hill, the Wellington copper project and the Tinderly gold and base metal project. Audio-visual tech and defence comms gear specialist Ambertech (ASX:AMO) is rising on strong unaudited full year results, with half-year revenue expected to exceed $54m, up more than 18% on the first half of the financial year. AMO's EBITDA also improved 2.4% on the previous half year, which full-year revenue expected to top $100m. Icetana (ASX:ICE) achieved its strongest annual recurring revenue numbers in over four years, pulling in $1.9m as of June after a 10% quarter on quarter uptick.
