“Population Imbalance” Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Happen: Yogi Adityanath Agency News:Lucknow Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said population control programme must go ahead successfully but at the same time “population imbalance” should not be allowed to happen.Speaking at a function to mark the commencement of ‘population c o n t r o l fortnight’, he noted, “When we talk about family planning/ population stabilisation, we have to keep in mind that the population control programme must go ahead successfully, but at the same time, a situation of
population imbalance should not be allowed to happen.”He said programmes pertaining to awareness of population stabilisation have been running for the past five decades. On one scale, population is an achievement of the society, but this will remain an achievement only when the society remains healthy and disease-free, he added.“If we have skilled manpower, it is an achievement for the society, but where there are diseases, shortage of resources and disorder, population explosion becomes a challenge on its own,” the chief minister’s office tweeted in Hindi.

India’s June Oil Imports From Russia Surge To Record High
Agency News:Agartala The “Bengal model of governance” will be Trinamool Congress’s (TMC) pitch in Tripura elections due next year as Mamata Banerjee’s party seeks to expand its base outside West Bengal. The party set up its state headquarters at Agartala on Monday, two and a half months after it announced a 132-member state committee.While it has
already set up headquarters in at least two other north-eastern states, Assam and Meghalaya, the TMC’s ambition to unseat the BJP in Tripura is also tied to linguistics. More than 60 per cent of Tripura’s people speak Bengali, followed by Kokborok or Tripuri with 25 per cent, according to the latest census (2011).“Tripura is our next goal. We are following that. We will implement the Bengal

At a separate presser, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take the nation into confidence.

Windfall Tax Lets The Cat Out Of The Bag Of Petroleum Companies It was an open secret that the oil companies have been minting money on account of therising crude prices, although they have been dishing out doctored numbers to show losses. Now that the government has decided to enforce a windfall tax on the companies for theundue profits that have accrued to them, this has been officially acknowledged.Last week the government slapped a windfall tax of Rs 23,250 per tonne on crude oil on thebasis of large profits they have been cornering on rising crude oil prices in the internationalmarket. Apart from windfall tax on crude oil, cesses equal to Rs 6 per litre on petrol and Rs13 per litre on diesel have also been imposed on their exports, which have been turning outto be highly profitable for the oil companies to the extent that it started hitting domesticsupplies.It is estimated that the windfall tax would fetch the government upwards of Rs 94,000 crorefor the remainder of the year, indicating the kind of money oil companies have been quietlymaking on the sides. That the news sent oil company stocks tanking by around 10 percent isan indication of the size of the windfall gains these companies have been making. Moody’sestimated government earnings of about $12 billion, which, according to the agency, willhelp offset the negative impact of the reduction in the excise duty on petrol and dieselannounced earlier.By all available indications, the measure will have considerable longevity as the governmenthas made it clear that the windfall tax will remain in force until such time that the crude oilprices stay above $40 a barrel. Despite several negative factors that tend to depress crudemarket, oil is expected to hover around $100 for some time, according to latest calculationsby energy experts. But at the other end of the spectrum, there are forecasts of oil hitting a low of $50 on theback of increasingly threatening recessionary fears. It was actually the scare of recessionthat reversed oil’s relentless climb in the wake of the Ukraine war and the cataclysmicchanges in the energy scene following the enforcement of sanctions against Russia.After hitting a 10-year high of $121.28 per barrel on June 10, the Indian basket of crude oilfell to $103.71 per barrel this week. The average daily price in April was $102.97, rising to109.51 in May and further to $116.01 in June. So far in July, the average price is $109.44per barrel. The Indian basket represents a derived basket consisting of sour grade andsweet grade of crude oil processed in Indian refineries.India has greatly benefited from the purchase of discounted oil from Russia in recent monthsin the wake of the Ukrainian war. In the four months since the outbreak of war, Indianimports of Russia’s Urals crude have picked up over six times compared to 2021 levels, according to reports. The Russian oil has given more bargaining power to Indian companiesin their dealings with Gulf oil companies, particularly Saudi Arabia which has long termcontracts for Indian deliveries. According to published accounts, India imported 212.2 milliontonnes of crude oil in 2021-22, compared with 196.5 million tonnes a year ago. When the government says that the windfall tax will continue as long as the oil price staysabove $40, it is a fair indication of the Indian view that prices will stop their downsidemovement before they reach the trigger. The new tax has prompted rating agencies to viewthe prospects of oil and marketing companies from a negative angle, given that thesecompanies had been making a killing on the higher crude prices. Particularly affected will beIndian petroleum major ONGC, but the private sector leaders, such as Reliance, would alsobe hit badly, as seen by the performance of the stock following the announcement of the tax.The new tariffs would surely put the refiners margins under pressure, but they would still beable to weather the storm as they have already built up sufficient surpluses from the windfallprofit they have been making all this while when international crude prices - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara were on theascendance.

Gold prices fell on Monday, lingering near a recent nine-month low, after strong U.S. job market data last week boosted the dollar and the likelihood of another big rate hike by the Federal Reserve.

The dollar rose about 0.5% and hovered near a 20-year peak seen on Friday, dimming greenback-priced gold`s appeal among overseas buyers.

BOLLYWOOD-HOLLYWOOD ‘I am more intimidated by sports stars than film stars’ : Taapsee Pannu Agency News: Mumbai
Taapsee Pannu will soon be seen as Indian cricketer Mithali Raj in Shabaash Mithu. The biopic is directed by Srijit Mukherji and produced by Viacom18 Studios. It will release on July 15. When I was training and shooting for it, I totally forgot that I am an actor. I genuinely enjoy playing sports, and I played quite a lot while I was growing up. I even started watching sports before I started watching films. Till date, I am more intimidated by sports stars than film stars. I never stopped myself from learning a new sport. Although I never represented my school at a very high level for sports, I was always a part of a new sports batch or learned from the coach. I tried gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, badminton, everything possible, and probably this is the reason that I started gravitating to these kinds of films. Cricket was the only game I never played. I have only seen it.
