PMC-HDIL case: ED files add'l chargesheet on 1.7k-acre lands
Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a third supplementary chargesheet in the Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank (PMC Bank) and Housing Development & Infrastructure Pvt Ltd (PMC-HDIL) loan fraud case. The recent chargesheet involves a part of an approximately 1,700 acre land parcels in Sindhudurg district, which the agency has already attached and requested the court for confiscation. In the chargesheet, the ED accused Rakesh Wadhawan and Sarang Wadhawan, along with others, of using money defrauded from PMC Bank to purchase the agriculture lands in benami names, including their employees. They intended to offer the lands at a higher rate for the proposed Vijay Durg port project, which did not materialise due to the ED's action. The state govt is keen to develop the port, and discussions suggested that through restitution, the land would revert to PMC Bank. With the consent of the ED, PMC Bank may explore the possibility of handing it over to the state for the port project while protecting its financial interests.

They allegedly fraudulently replaced 44 loan accounts with 21,049 fictitious loan accounts, causing a wrongful loss of Rs 4,355 crore to PMC Bank and corresponding gains to themselves and others. So far, the ED has provisionally attached assets worth over Rs 772 crore in the case and filed four chargesheets naming a total 46 accused. The ED said, "The present supplementary chargesheet further strengthens the case by establishing the money trail from HDIL accounts for land acquisition in Sindhudurg through benamidars led by Mukesh Khadpe." During the investigation, the ED found Wadhawans diverted proceeds of crime from the bank accounts of HDIL and its group of companies, "to various persons/entities to acquire huge agricultural lands from several villagers in Sindhudurg district in the benami names of farmers/employees, led by accused Mukesh Khadpe".

The training programme includes onsite sessions at key traffic points, crowded market areas, and major intersections, where squad members will learn updated traffic rules, enforcement protocols, and conflict resolution techniques. The squad, recently formed by the DMC, will play a crucial role in managing Dibrugarh's growing traffic challenges. Dibrugarh Mayor Saikat Patra emphasised the importance of the initiative, stating, "With increasing vehicular movement and urban expansion, efficient traffic management has become a priority.

Donald Trump's 25% tariff: India expects minimal impact; indicates agriculture, dairy, GM food no-go areas in trade deal talks
Experts widely view Trump's tariff move as a pressure tactic to get India to agree to US terms. The US decision to impose 25% tariffs will have minimal effect on India, sources told PTI. India is clear that duty exemptions for agricultural, dairy and genetically modified (GM) products in trade agreements is a no-go area, the report said, quoting sources. In the fiscal year 2024-25, trade between India and the US reached $131.8 billion, which includes $86.5 billion in exports and $45.3 billion in imports. A significant portion of Indian exports, including pharmaceutical and electronic items, already fall under the US exemption category and therefore would not incur duties, sources told PTI. "More than half of India's exports to the US (are expected) to remain unimpacted. Due to the Section 232 exemption of the US, only exports worth about $40 billion would be impacted with these tariffs," they added. India-US Trade Deal: Why Agri & Dairy Are Sticky Points Officials highlighted concerns regarding the US dairy sector's use of animal feed, noting that India has consistently refrained from offering duty concessions in this sector across all its trade agreements. "There are religious sentiments in the dairy sector.
