11th Meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog in New Delhi on Thursday, June 11, 2026, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Photo credit: PMO Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday (June 11, 2026) urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to set up a high-level committee to evaluate the financial impact on the hill State and accord Special Category Status (SCS) to the western border State respectively. They were speaking at the 11th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog held under the theme ‘Inclusive human development for Viksit Bharat’, chaired by the Prime Minister in New Delhi. Key concerns Mr. Sukhu said the financial impact arose from several key concerns, including the discontinuation of the Revenue Deficit Grant (RDG, i.e. statutory financial transfers provided by the Centre to specific States to bridge the gap between their assessed revenue and expenditure), losses caused by natural disasters, inadequate compensation from hydropower projects in terms of free power and revenue shortfalls resulting from the Goods and Services Tax framework. …

Maharashtra sets up panel to study onion price crash, export policy impact

Published by Webster

The Maharashtra government on Tuesday constituted an expert sub-committee to recommend immediate and long-term measures to address the ongoing decline in onion prices and strengthen the state’s onion sector, news agency PTI reported. The sub-committee has been formed under a secretary-level committee set up in April by the Cooperation, Marketing and Textiles Department to suggest measures for onion growers. A government resolution (GR) issued on Tuesday said the panel will examine factors behind the fall in onion prices, assess the impact of the Centre’s onion export policy over the past seven to eight years, and recommend measures to improve the crop’s value chain. The sub-committee comprises former vice-chancellor of Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth in Dapoli Dr Kisanrao Lawande, former director of marketing Sunil Pawar, Indo Vegetables Development Association President Sarang Nirmal, entrepreneur Narendra Pawar, and Maharashtra Director of Marketing Sharad Jare, who will serve as member secretary.

Gullak Season 5 review: Smiles come laced with impatience as show leaves middling impact | Web-series News

4 min readJun 5, 2026 11:20 AM IST Gullak Season 5 review: Ghar ki lipaai-putaai se ghar naya jaisa dikhta hai, par hota toh wahi hai na. When Gullak 5 opens, everything feels the same. Well, almost. In that gap nestles both the charm and challenge of this latest edition of the much-loved long-running TVF series, which has jostled, mostly successfully, with how to add a fresh lick of paint to a familiar edifice without changing too much. The House of Mishras, the goings-on in which have been our constant companions since 2019, is undergoing a literal paint-job. Papering over the cracks is not as easy as it appears to be, however: it’s not only Padosan No 1 Bittu Ki Mummy (Sunita Rajwar) who tosses out snarky remarks at the quality of the painting, it feels like every visitor, including an unctuous Mamaji, has the right to take a jibe at it. But the biggest change in this fifth season, a number the team has been excitedly telling us is the first time for an …

Sachin Tendulkar calls for 3 radical changes in T20 rules, starting with scrapping the Impact Player rule

Sachin Tendulkar calls for 3 radical changes in T20 rules, starting with scrapping the Impact Player rule

Published by Webster

2 min readMay 31, 2026 04:25 PM IST A score of 200 has for the longest time been a show of strength in T20 cricket but this season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) it was extraordinarily proving to be a below par score on a number of occassions. While the ceiling for big-hitting has been steadily rising in recent years in the IPL, particularly since the introduction of the Impact Player rule, it has gone to unprecedented levels this year leading to calls for changes to be made to restore balance between bat and ball. India batting great Sachin Tendulkar has suggested three changes to be made to T20 cricket overall, starting with scrapping the Impact Player rule. “The Impact Player needs to go away. That is my personal opinion. I feel, in a T20 match, you just have to play 20 overs and then you are adding one more batter to that lineup where bowlers are already being challenged,” said Tendulkar at the Cricinfo Honours. It has to be noted that the Impact …

Is Ranveer Singh ban legal? Its impact on his next Pralay, and why Farhan didn’t go to court | Bollywood News

Is Ranveer Singh ban legal? Its impact on his next Pralay, and why Farhan didn’t go to court | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

“A superstar is not above the law,” declared BN Tiwari, the president of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), while addressing the media in Mumbai on Monday over Ranveer Singh’s unceremonious exit from Farhan Akhtar’s directorial Don 3 this past December. The film body has now asked its 4 lakh-plus members — including technicians and workers — from working with Ranveer until he appears before them personally to resolve the issue. Ranveer is all set to roll out his next, Pralay, in the months to come and the directive can make the process of assembling crew extremely complicated, making it akin to a ban. Can FWICE really ban Ranveer Singh? But the question is, does the FWICE really have the legal authority to issue a “non-cooperation directive” to its members and prohibit them from collaborating with Ranveer in any professional capacity? “FWICE is a federation of craft associations, not a statutory regulator. Its authority is consensual and confined to its members,” Sanjay Vasudevan, a media and entertainment lawyer, tells SCREEN. He argues that …

How Delhi Gymkhana closure will impact India’s global image, writes ex-IPS Azad | Opinion

Published by Parlour News

Delhi’s iconic Delhi Gymkhana Club is heading towards one of the most dramatic institutional disruptions in recent memory. The writing, many would say, had long been on the wall. Delhi Gymkhana Club in New Delhi has been served a notice to vacate by June 5. (HT Photo) The club has been entangled in legal and administrative disputes, from proceedings before the National Company Law Tribunal to court interventions and controversies surrounding its management and elections. But the closure order touches upon the State’s relationship with legacy institutions, urban heritage, quality of life, and even India’s global image. Politically, this may appear to be a safe and easy target. No political party is likely to lose votes over the fate of Gymkhana. The Left will not rise in protest, nor will the Right. The “jholawallah” activists will celebrate it as a symbolic blow against privilege. Thousands who could not get membership may privately gloat over an exclusive club finally been brought to heel. The optics are very tempting, of a powerful government cracking down on an …

‘Human impact will be massive’: Congress leader flags concerns over new US policy for Green Card seekers

Published by Parlour News

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Shukla on Saturday expressed concern over the recent change in immigration policy affecting foreign nationals applying for a Green Card in the US. The United States issues more than one million Green Cards every year. (Unsplash/Representational Image) The announcement by US citizenship and immigration services (USCIS) said that foreign nationals staying in the US on a temporary basis and wanting to become lawful permanent residents, commonly known as Green Card holders, would need to leave the country and apply from their place of origin. The only exception would be in “extraordinary circumstances”, and USCIS officials would decide whether applicants qualify under those conditions. However, the US later rolled back certain parts of the policy, offering relief to international professionals, including Indian workers. Rajeev Shukla says ‘human impact will be massive’ In a statement posted on X, the Congress leader expressed concerns over the recent immigration policy shift adopted by the US. He said the decision could “cause immense hardship” and that immigration policies affect people who have spent years building …
