"I will probably embark on a visit to India. My visit to India will take place after the two sides do necessary ground works," Oli said in an interview to a Nepalese Youtube channel Dishanirdesh TV late on Thursday. It was in July last year that Oli, the chairperson of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) - popular as the CPN-UML - assumed the office of Prime Minister for the fourth time. Live Events He had chosen to visit China for his maiden foreign visit, breaking the tradition of visiting India as the first destination after assuming the post of prime minister. Oli also revealed that he had extended an invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Nepal. "Prime Minister Modi will probably visit Nepal towards November," he said adding, "I have already sent the invitation to him." "My India visit will take place at an appropriate time," he added. Modi and Oli met on the sidelines of the 6th BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok on April 4. Oli also dismissed rumours that India doesn't like him. "India did nothing bad when I became the Prime Minister," he said. In a different context, Oli pointed out, "We have very good relations with both India and China." "India and China both are rising economic powers and it is good that our neighbours are moving in the path of development," he said, adding, Nepal may benefit from the spill over effect of their development. "They (India and China) should focus attention on their development, but it is not good to be involved in cut-throat competition," Oli advised. "There should be healthy competition between them. They should choose the path of cordial relations, but not a path that bears tension." Answering a question how it will affect Nepal if tension prevails between its northern and southern neighbours, Oli said, Nepal will also benefit if there are good relations between India and China. "We can benefit from cooperation and collaboration with them and also we may benefit from their big market."

Pig blood, chicken poop, and cat meat: The things US cows eat are why India doesn't want to import 'non-veg' milk
India and the United States are very close to ink a trade deal, according to US president Donald Trump . However, a major sticking point in the trade deal is India's reluctance to allow American dairy imports due to concerns over the feed practices used in the US, specifically the use of animal-based products. What is 'Non-Veg Milk'? The term 'non-veg milk' is being used in India to describe milk from cows that are fed animal-derived products. These include meat meal, blood meal, and fats from rendered animal parts — practices that are allowed under US regulations.

According to the 2023 World Atlas, about 38% of Indians follow a vegetarian diet, and dairy — especially milk and ghee — is used widely in Hindu religious rituals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo 'Imagine eating butter made from the milk of a cow that was fed meat and blood from another cow. India may never allow that,' said Ajay Srivastava of the Global Trade Research Institute (GTRI), speaking to PTI. India's Demand: Strict Certification India has insisted that any imported dairy products must be accompanied by certifications ensuring that the animals were never fed with animal-based feeds. Live Events The required certification must guarantee that: 'The source animals have never been fed with feeds produced from meat or bone meal including internal organs, blood meal, and tissues of ruminant or porcine origin — except milk and milk products.' What Are US Cows Fed? Multiple reports suggest that American dairy cows may be fed a controversial mix including: Meat meal from pigs, chickens, horses, or even dogs and cats Blood from pigs and horses Tallow (rendered fat from cattle) Chicken feathers, bedding material, and droppings While there are safety regulations in place to prevent disease transmission, these feed practices remain a serious concern for India. The Economic Angle: Protecting Small Dairy Farmers Apart from cultural issues, the stakes are also economic. India's dairy sector is dominated by millions of small-scale farmers, many of whom rely on just 1–3 cows for their livelihoods. A State Bank of India (SBI) report warned that opening up the sector to US imports could cause Indian milk prices to fall by at least 15%, potentially inflicting annual losses of up to Rs 1.03 lakh crore to domestic dairy farmers. Currently, the dairy sector contributes around 2.5–3% to India's Gross Value Added (GVA), amounting to Rs 7.5–9 lakh crore. Any disruption is thus expected to severely impact rural income and livelihoods. With state elections approaching, the Indian government is also not expected to soften its stance on dairy imports.

‘I win trust with CEOs': Kristin Cabot's old LinkedIn post goes viral after she gets caught with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron in Coldplay ‘kiss cam' moment
What began as a dreamy Coldplay concert turned into a PR nightmare for two high-profile tech executives. Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer at Astronomer, and CEO Andy Byron found themselves at the centre of a swirling internet scandal—now dubbed Coldplaygate—after a viral "kiss cam" clip captured an unexpectedly intimate moment between the two. But as social media exploded with speculation, internet sleuths went digging. And what they found on Cabot's LinkedIn only added fuel to the fire. Old LinkedIn post As the video circulated, Kristin Cabot's professional image came under scrutiny—especially due to a few eerily relevant lines from her LinkedIn profile. Describing herself as a 'fearless change-agent' and 'an influential leader,' Cabot proudly wrote: 'I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants.'

But against the backdrop of Coldplaygate, many found the phrasing just a little too ironic to ignore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World The viral moment that started it all The video, taken during a Coldplay concert, showed Byron and Cabot cuddled up in the crowd. But when the stadium's kiss cam suddenly zoomed in on them, chaos ensued. Byron abruptly ducked out of frame while Cabot turned away and covered her face—just as Chris Martin joked from the stage, 'Either they're having an affair, or they're very shy.' The moment instantly went viral, with millions weighing in on what they just knew they saw. What made things messier? Andy Byron is married. And his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron , was instantly pulled into the internet frenzy, with some questioning whether she was aware of what just unfolded on the big screen—and later, on everyone's screens. Andy Byron's statement One of the viral tweets shared the public apology issued by Andy Byron which read, "Let me start by apologizing to my family, my wife, and our wonderful employees. My behavior is inexcusable and the shame I am receiving is well deserved. I tried to hide my actions but the truth has finally been revealed. I am a Coldplay fan. And not just of the first two albums. I also like the recent stuff. I am going to take some time to contemplate my future, please respect our family's privacy at this time."

Walmart layoffs 2025: US retail giant is cutting hundreds of store-support roles
Walmart is cutting hundreds of store-support roles, in its latest move to simply its structure, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing a memo. The U.S. retail bellwether is eliminating the market coordinator job that supports some managers, the report said. These coordinators are considered to be corporate positions, assisting market managers, who are responsible for supervising roughly a dozen store managers each, it said.

Market coordinators and academy coaches will be guaranteed store-level coach roles in the local area, the report said. Walmart did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Live Events The reported move underscores the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations. Walmart had in May announced plans to cut about 1,500 jobs, affecting teams in global technology operations, e-commerce fulfillment in U.S. stores and its advertising business Walmart Connect. Walmart is the largest U.S. private employer with about 1.6 million employees. It employed about 2.1 million people worldwide in total, according to its website. The company in February had cut some roles and closed its office in North Carolina, as part of a move to relocate employees to its main hubs in California and Arkansas. In May, the world's largest retailer had also said it would have to raise prices due to the high cost of tariffs put in place by U.S. President Donald Trump. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
