Centre 'conspiring' to stop free ration of 5.5 mn people in Punjab: CM Mann

TREND | 25 Aug 2025

Business Standard

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday charged the BJP-led Centre with "hatching a conspiracy" to stop free ration to 55 lakh people in the state, and asserted that he would not let people's rights be "snatched". In a written message addressed to the people of Punjab, he alleged that the Central government has issued an order that the free ration to 55 lakh people in the state will be stopped. This is the second time within a week that Mann accused the Centre of stopping the ration of people under the National Food Security Act. However, Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi has already rejected Mann's allegations, accusing the Punjab government of trying to "spread lies". On Monday, Mann alleged the BJP government at the Centre has decided to stop free ration for 55 lakh people. "Your name is also on that list. Till now, 1.53 crore people were getting ration in Punjab, but the BJP government has decided to end this facility for 55 lakh people," Mann...

Mahagathbandhan to decide Bihar CM face, RJD has legitimate claim: SP MP

TREND | 25 Aug 2025

Business Standard

Samajwadi Party MP from Azamgarh, Dharmendra Yadav, has said the opposition's grand alliance in Bihar will decide its chief ministerial face for the upcoming assembly polls and acknowledged the RJD, being the principal party of the grouping, has a legitimate claim. His remarks came as the BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of being "arrogant" after he parried a media query on why the Congress has not yet made it clear that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav would be the opposition grand alliance's chief minister face in the upcoming Bihar assembly polls. Tejashwi Yadav was seated by Gandhi's side when he was asked about the Congress' reluctance to declare the RJD leader as the Mahagathbandhan's chief ministerial candidate. He had recently made an open pitch for making Gandhi the prime minister after the next Lok Sabha polls. Speaking to reporters late on Sunday night, Dharmendra Yadav said, "The Mahagathbandhan will decide on the chief ministerial face in Bihar. "Everyone knows which party is dominan

Biostimulant Industry Federation urges govt action on trade barriers

TREND | 24 Aug 2025

Business Standard

The National Biostimulant Industry Federation (NBIF) on Sunday called for urgent government intervention to address regulatory bottlenecks in the domestic market and high tariffs abroad, which are hampering the sector's growth potential. NBIF urged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office to coordinate reforms across key ministries to support an industry valued at Rs 40,000 crore and comprising over 5,000 small and medium enterprises. Indian biostimulant exporters face tariffs of 15-28 per cent in key global markets, along with non-tariff barriers, including origin-specific efficacy trials and residue testing requirements, NBIF said in a statement. The absence of mutual recognition agreements with major trading blocs, like the European Union and ASEAN, compounds these challenges. Domestically, the industry is grappling with regulatory ambiguity and delays in product approvals under India's Fertiliser Control Order, with no dedicated testing protocols for natural substances like ..
