Andhra Chambers urges Centre to address US tariffs impact on exports
Last Updated: Amaravati, Aug 21 (PTI) The Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry Federation on Thursday urged the Centre to mitigate the impact of the proposed 50 per cent US tariffs on exporters. The Andhra Pradesh Chambers held a meeting with its 78 affiliated associations in Vijayawada to discuss sectoral challenges and strategies for diversifying exports beyond the American market. 'The impact of the proposed 50 per cent US tariffs on exports would affect many sectors in Andhra Pradesh. We request the Central government to take measures to diversify exports to other countries to reduce the dependence on the US," said Andhra Pradesh Chambers president P Bhaskara Rao, while addressing a press conference. Rao said that the tariff proposal would affect many sectors in Andhra Pradesh, especially aqua culture, textiles, agri products and auto components. He further requested the union government to restore export subsidies, provide easier access to working capital, reduce Goods and Service Tax (GST) rates and cut import duties to make Indian products competitive. Rao said that state-level incentives pending for five to six years must be released by September to give a push to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) struggling with rising fuel and power costs. A detailed representation to both the Central and State governments was submitted to improve the EoDB by bringing reforms in the age-old fire, pollution, and building norms, he said. Further, he requested extending the validity of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from one to five years with self-certification option. The trade body's general secretary B Raja Sekhar said that India should reduce dependence on US markets and revive schemes like Marketing Development Assistance (MDA), Market Access Initiative (MAI), and Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES) to support exporters. Implementing two-slab GST structure would simplify compliance for businesses and provide relief to sectors hit by tariffs, he added.

HC sets aside notice to shut down madrassas
Last Updated: Lucknow, Aug 21 (PTI) The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court on Thursday set aside the notices issued to several madrassas in Shrawasti district for closing down the institutes. The bench, however, granted liberty to the state to issue fresh notices in accordance with law. Justice Pankaj Bhatia disposed of the petitions filed by Madarsa Moinul Islam Qasmiya Samiti and other madarssas separately. The court on June 5 passed an interim order staying these notices. The order considered the plea of the petitioners which said before asking the madarssas to close down, no notices were served on them. It was also placed before the bench that notices were issued without application of mind as all notices contained the same number. 'The state authorities have taken action against the madarsas without affording them any opportunity to make their submissions and hence the state action is entirely illegal and mala-fide," the petitioners said. Opposing the pleas, the state stressed the action was taken under Uttar Pradesh Non-Governmental Arabic and Persian Madarsa Recognition, Administration and Services Regulations, 2016 and there was no illegality in the state action. Considering the notices were defective and no adequate opportunity was granted to the madarssas before taking action against them, the bench set aside the notices with liberty to the state to pass fresh order.

Stray dogs row: SC to deliver order on Aug 22
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI) The Supreme Court is set to pronounce on August 22 the order on a plea to stay its August 11 direction to permanently relocate stray dogs from streets to dog shelters in Delhi-NCR. A three-judge special bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and N V Anjaria had on August 14 reserved its order in the matter. A two-judge bench of the apex court had on August 11 passed a slew of directions, including ordering the authorities in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) to start picking up stray dogs from all localities 'at the earliest" and relocate the canines to dog shelters. The bench passed the order in a suo motu case initiated on July 28 over a media report on stray dog bites leading to rabies, particularly among children, in the national capital. Widespread protests were reported across the country following the apex court's August 11 order. Later, the matter came up for hearing on August 14 before a three-judge special bench which said the 'whole problem" of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR was a result of the 'inaction" of local authorities which did 'nothing" in implementing the Animal Birth Control Rules on sterilisation and immunisation of canines. The special bench, which was constituted to hear the suo motu case and some other pleas concerning stray dogs, had reserved its verdict on the interim prayer for a stay on certain directions issued on August 11. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Delhi government, had referred to data and said in 2024, India reported around 37.15 lakh dog bites cases — nearly 10,000 per day. Mehta had also referred to a media report and said the World Health Organisation, using government and other authentic sources, reported 305 dog-bite related deaths last year. The lawyers appearing for several organisations had urged the special bench to stay some of the directions passed by the two-judge bench. On August 11, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan had directed the authorities in Delhi-NCR to start relocating all stray dogs from streets to shelters and asked the authorities to initially start by creating a shelter to house 5,000 dogs. It had warned of strictest action against those who obstructed the exercise and directed immediate creation of dog shelters or pounds and report about it within eight weeks.
