Why Ceasefire May Not Restore Oil Supply

Why Ceasefire May Not Restore Oil Supply

Published by Parlour News

The ceasefire in West Asia appears increasingly fragile, with Israel stepping up its bombing of Lebanon and prompting Iran to again block the movement of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. The two-week period for talks between the US and Iran, therefore, becomes crucial to not just strike a lasting peace but also to ensure the flow of energy through the maritime chokepoint that accounts for a fifth of the world’s oil demand during peacetime. Ajay Singh, an energy and shipping executive based in Tokyo, tells Anil Sasi that even if the ceasefire holds, restarting and stabilising production and exports from the Persian Gulf could possibly take weeks. Singh, who is a former Shell and Japan Petroleum Corporation executive with considerable experience of West Asia, also explains why the US and Venezuela cannot replace the Gulf as a supply source even in the long run. Edited Excerpts: With a ceasefire having been announced between the US-Israel and Iran, what are the prospects for oil and gas exports to resume out of the Persian Gulf?  A ceasefire has …

Odisha proposes changes to spellings of 24 places to restore Odia names| India News

Published by Parlour News

The Odisha government on Thursday proposed changes to the English spellings of 24 places across the state, saying they would restore original Odia names and reflect its linguistic and cultural heritage. Odisha chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi. (X) A public notice said the move would transform familiar names into versions that more accurately capture their pronunciation in Odia. Khurda, Balasore, Khondmal, and the industrial district of Angul Anugol would become Khordha, Baleshwar, Kandhamal, and Aul Ali. Keonjhar would be known as Kendujhar. According to historical accounts, the name is derived from “Kendujhar,” meaning “new capital near a perennial spring,” built by King Jyoti Bhanja. When the feudatory state merged with Odisha in 1948, it became one of 13 districts, with its headquarters at what was then called Keonjhargarh. Other proposed alterations include Deogarh to Debagarh, Nayagarh to Nayagada, Rairakhol to Redhakhol, and Kendrapara to Kendrapada. Officials said the changes will bring English transliteration closer to the Odia pronunciation. The government has invited objections and suggestions to the proposed changes with supporting documents. The proposal for …
