Government has approved a cap on the margins charged in the supply and sale of non-scheduled anti-cancer drugs. These margins will be limited to 30% of the Maximum Retail Price (MRP). The measure is expected to reduce medicine prices by up to 70% and help cancer patients save Rs 2,500 crore annually, significantly reducing the amount they pay from their own pockets: Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Department of Pharmaceuticals
Elon Musk’s observations seek to discredit the sovereignty of India’s telecom policy by casting aspersions on the Government’s hitherto cold response to Starlink.
This comes at a time when the US is literally expelling India’s IT giants from flourishing on its soil.
This is blatant hostility towards India’s economy and an open cold shouldering of India’s iconic business titans.
Just out of hatred for the Prime Minister @narendramodi, the LoP @RahulGandhi is actually undermining India, giving legitimacy to the sneering utterances of those hostile to our country.
Rahul Gandhi must take care not to let his personal prejudices overwhelm his political judgment.
The Indian people deserve a united political response to outside forces seeking to undermine our rising economy!
🚨ASSAM: HIMASHRI BORO’S UNCLE REVEALS CHILLING DETAILS OF HER FINAL JOURNEY;
👉 Himashri Boro left Assam for Andhra Pradesh on August 13 with a dance group and decided to return home on October 5 as she had an exam on October 10.
👉 After missing her booked train, Himashri reportedly boarded another train compartment with a general ticket.
👉 Her friend Jyoti Choudhury’s male friend Avinash, an Assam native studying in Andhra Pradesh, took Himashri to the railway station, bought her a ticket and helped her board train number 22503 while it was moving.
👉 Soon after boarding, Himashri called Jyoti at 2:39am and said some boys were harassing her and that she was not safe. She asked her friend to make arrangements for her safety.
👉 Jyoti immediately called railway helpline 139 and informed authorities that Himashri was travelling in a particular coach of train number 22503, requesting Railway Police to check on her.
👉 According to her uncle, no railway personnel checked on Himashree after the alert.
👉 The family could not contact Himashri for around 2 hours and 48 minutes, although her phone continued ringing. Suspecting that something had happened, they contacted Panbazar Police Outpost early on October 6.
👉 Panbazar Police allegedly directed the family to approach the GRP or RPF, saying the matter did not fall under its jurisdiction.
👉 The family approached the GRP, which directed them to the RPF. The RPF then began contacting railway personnel and working to obtain CCTV footage from stations along the route.
👉 When the train reached Guwahati Railway Station at around 1 PM the next day, the family checked its compartments and found two of Himashri’s bags, but Himashree was missing.
👉 Some co-passenger allegedly said Himashree was thrown from the moving train, while another passenger claimed she jumped from the train and another said she got down at a certain station.
👉 At around 5 PM, the family reportedly received information from Andhra Pradesh that Himashri’s mobile phone had been switched on. Her phone had reportedly been ringing until around 9 AM on October 6 before becoming unreachable.
👉 The family then asked police to track the mobile phone’s location.
👉 Himashri was later found dead beside a railway track in Andhra Pradesh, with her family now seeking answers over her final movements, the reported harassment call and the conflicting accounts surrounding her disappearance.
Congress comprehensively rigged the 1987 Jammu & Kashmir elections through ballot stuffing, arrests, curfews, even declaring defeated candidates as winners. Here is Shashi Tharoor himself admitting to the rigging.
These are the same people who accuse others of vote chori.

Notice how Elon interferes in the politics of every country EXCEPT China? Why? Because if he does his supply of rare earth for batteries will end. All this show of “principle & independence” is just a show.
GST Council decides: Arrest, Prosecution, and General penalty -
•The power of arrest is being removed from GST.
•The threshold for prosecution goes up from Rs 1 crore to Rs 5 crore. The minimum punishment stands removed and the punishment- whether fine or imprisonment or both, is left to judicial discretion in every case.
•The general penalty, which applies where no specific penalty is provided, comes down from Rs 25,000 to Rs 10,000.
•A taxpayer who files late, makes a mistake or falls behind on payment faces recovery, interest and a proportionate penalty, and nothing beyond that.
Pleased to meet Mrs. Akie Abe, wife of late former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Deeply value her enduring association with India.
Abe San was a dear friend and a visionary leader who played a defining role in elevating India-Japan relations to new heights. The inauguration of the Abe Memorial Corridor at the Rudraksh Convention Centre in Varanasi yesterday is a fitting tribute to his lasting contribution to India-Japan friendship.
故安倍晋三元首相の昭恵夫人とお会いでき、嬉しく思います。長年にわたるインドとの深いご縁を心より大切にしております。
安倍さんは親愛なる友人であり、インドと日本の関係を新たな高みへと導いた先見性あるリーダーでした。昨日ヴァラナシのルドラクシュ・コンベンション・センターに「安倍メモリアル・コリドー」が開設されたことは、印日友好関係の発展に対する安倍首相の多大な功績を称えるふさわしい記念となりました。

The patronising tone of this article by @TheEconomist is striking, and its colonial lens is hard to ignore. It is deeply offensive that a British publication should lecture India on conservation when British colonial rule saw our lions and tigers hunted to the brink of extinction. Today, India is bringing them back.
Since ancient times Indians have understood that humans and animals can share a landscape. Tamil Nadu’s Jallikattu is one living expression of that ancient harmony. These achievements deserve to be celebrated and championed, not viewed through a patronising colonial lens.
India’s Project Cheetah has gone from an audacious idea to 60 cheetahs, 41 born in India. There were initial setbacks, including adult deaths and cub mortality, but the Indian Government persevered, learnt and adapted. It is an extraordinary moment of genuine national pride: India has achieved the world’s first intercontinental translocation of a large carnivore. India has also created the International Big Cat Alliance to take this conservation experience to the world.
Across India, tigers and Asiatic lions are recovering; the Great Indian Bustard in Rajasthan is being returned to the wild; snow leopards in Himachal Pradesh, Nilgiri Tahr and dugongs in Tamil Nadu, and rhinos and red pandas in the North east are being protected and their populations restored. India’s conservation story deserves to be celebrated, studied and taught around the world, not viewed through a colonial hangover that smacks of racism.
