Is the use of satellite phones banned in India? Restrictions explained| India News

Published by Parlour News

A US national was arrested at Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar airport on Sunday, due to having a satellite phone in his possession. This is not the first time that a foreign national has been arrested for possession of a satellite phone in India. (Representative image) Another person, who was accompanying the US national, was also detained at the airport but was apparently let go after interrogation. This is not the first time that a foreign national has been arrested for possession of a satellite phone in India. But this begs a question: Is the use of such devices banned in the country? And if so, why? Are satellite phones banned in India? While satellite phones are not “banned” in India in the sense of being entirely illegal, their use is heavily restricted. According to the Telecommunications Act 2023, a satellite phone cannot be legally operated in the country without a prior license or a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). Even after that, only satellite services provided by BSNL (Inmarsat) are …

Published by Parlour News

Although electricity demand is running high this summer, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is not contemplating restrictions on power supply, KSEB chairperson and managing director Minhaj Alam said after a meeting held on Friday to assess the power situation. “This time the demand is high. But we have made all the arrangements for supply from central stations and purchases through power exchanges,” Mr. Alam said. The KSEB is also exploring options to procure power through the term-ahead market (TAM). According to him, peak demand touching 6,000 megawatts (MW) this season was not unexpected. On April 14, Kerala’s peak electricity demand had touched 6012 MW, an all-time high for the State.

New survey to shift India-Pakistan fencing could end decades of BSF restrictions

New survey to shift India-Pakistan fencing could end decades of BSF restrictions

Published by Parlour News

Farmers living along the India–Pakistan border in Punjab have welcomed the Centre’s decision to conduct a survey aimed at shifting border fencing closer to the international boundary. If implemented, the move will bring major relief to farmers long forced to cultivate their crops across the fence under tight BSF restrictions including limited farming hours and repeated security checks. Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann recently said letters have been issued to deputy commissioners (DCs) of border districts — Pathankot, Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Fazilka, and Ferozepur — to conduct surveys and assess how close the fencing can be moved to the International Border (IB). Punjab shares a 532-km border with Pakistan, which is secured by a barbed wire fence. Considering the terrain and topography, the distance between the fence and the IB varies from a few feet at some places to nearly 2 km at others. As per an estimate, nearly 21,500 acres of land belonging to Punjab’s farmers and another 10,000 acres of the government lies between the fence and the IB. BSF mans the …

The move follows a temporary 30-day waiver that permits Indian refiners to buy Russian crude currently stranded on ships, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. “We have implemented short-term measures to help keep oil prices down. We are allowing our friends in India to take oil that is already on ships, refine it, and move those barrels into the market quickly. A practical way to get supply flowing and ease pressure,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a post on his X handle. In an interview with ABC News Live, Wright said long-term oil supplies remain “abundant” but the market needs additional barrels in the short term. “But as oil gets bid up a little bit because of those constraints coming out of the Strait …
