Pennsylvania House makes last-ditch effort to stave off cuts at Philadelphia's public transit agency
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A last-ditch effort to prevent half of all public transit services from being eliminated in the Philadelphia region passed Pennsylvania's House of Representatives on Monday, as a roughly $1 billion Democratic-backed funding plan advanced toward an uncertain future in the Republican-controlled state Senate. HT Image The bill — which includes funding for highways, too — increases aid for transit agency operations by $292 million, or about 25% more, with the lion's share of the money going to the Philadelphia-based Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. SEPTA has said it cannot keep waiting for more aid and must start making cuts in the coming days, which it says will be more drastic than any undertaken by a major transit agency in the United States. The nation's sixth-largest public transit system has warned that it will cut half its services by Jan. 1 and be unable to provide enhanced service for major tourist events next year. Those include FIFA World Cup matches in Philadelphia, events surrounding the celebration of the nation's 250th birthday, Major League Baseball's all-star game, the PGA Championship and NCAA March Madness games. The legislation passed in the House by 108-95 over the objection of nearly every Republican in the chamber. It has the support of Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, but Republican senators have resisted increasing aid for transit. The deadline push comes after two years of stalemate, and as transit agencies nationwide struggle with rising costs and lagging ridership. SEPTA has said that on Thursday it will begin a 10-day preparation period for 20% across-the-board service cuts. Those take effect Aug. 24 and include eliminating bus routes with lower ridership and reducing the frequency of bus, trolley and rail services across the region. Under the plan, fares will then rise by 21.5% on Sept. 1 for the system's approximately 800,000 daily riders. A weekday ride would rise from $2.50 to $2.90 on a bus, train or trolley, it said. Soon after, the agency would impose a hiring freeze and carry out additional service cuts by Jan. 1 that will mean it will have eliminated half its current services, it has said. That will include cutting more regional rail and bus routes and imposing a 9 p.m. curfew on rail services, some of which go as late as 1:30 a.m. currently. Democrats say shoring up public transit agencies around the state is critical to the economy and making sure people can get to work, school and medical appointments. Republicans have objected that transit agencies need to become more efficient, highways need more state funding and transit riders should pay higher fares. Transit agencies in Pittsburgh and elsewhere around Pennsylvania also say they are making cuts or raising fares, or both. Under the bill, an extra 1.75 percentage points of state sales tax revenue — from 4.4% to 6.15% — would go toward a public transit fund to help pay for the operations of several dozen transit systems around the state. The increase represents about $292 million. Democrats inserted several other provisions into the bill in a bid to pick up Republican votes. That includes funding up to $325 million in borrowing authority for highway projects, allocating $275 million for improvements to smaller, rural roads and commissioning the creation of performance standards for the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh transit agencies. ___ Follow Marc Levy on X at

Textile co from Ludhiana to invest Rs 2,500 cr in Basai industrial area in Mandsaur
Indore: A Ludhiana-based textile company has acquired 25 hectares of land in the upcoming Basai industrial area in Mandsaur district, pledging to invest Rs 2,500 crore. "We have allotted 25 hectare to a Ludhianvi based textile company. The company will set up an advanced integrated unit for the textile industry by investing Rs 2,500 crore," said Rajesh Rathod, executive director of Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC), Ujjain region. The Basai industrial area will be developed on 178.83 hectares at a cost of around Rs 89 crore. The park is expected to attract investments exceeding Rs 5,000 crore and create approximately 8,000 jobs, according to MPIDC. Mandsaur and Neemuch districts in the state have attracted many enquiries from textile units of Punjab and Rajasthan in the past a few months. "A few garment industries have also conducted site visit and enquired about the availability of land in Basai. Apart from this, ethanol and food industries have also showed interest in this land parcels but allotments have not happened," said Rathod. Development work at the Basai industrial park is expected to start in the second quarter of the fiscal, according to the industries department. Another industrial area in the Ujjain division is coming up in Chitakheda in Neemuch district. It is going to be a multi-product industrial area. Industrialists and industry associations from Mandsaur emphasised that the govt should work on providing essential infrastructure at industrial areas like transport services to industrial areas, uninterrupted water and electricity supply, and police chowki in industrial belts in existing industrial areas in Mandsaur district.

Why India Should Seek Closer Ties With China: Amitabh Kant Explains
New Delhi: India should maintain good relation with all nations including China, former Niti Aayog chief and G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant has said. "If India wishes to enhance her manufacturing capacity, then good relation with Beijing is essential "because they are a major manufacturing partner," Mr Kant told NDTV in an exclusive interview this evening. "We need to get inputs, we need to get components, we need to work with some of these companies to become a global manufacturer for the future," he said. Amitabh Kant's comments come ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Beijing for the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) Summit -- the first since the Galwan clash. The visit comes amid the imposition of stiff tariffs from US President Donald Trump and increasing pressure on India regarding oil purchase from Russia. There is expectation that under the circumstances, a recalibration of ties with China is expected to act as a balancing factor for the US. Mr Kant, though, indicated that even without the leverage factor, closer ties with China will contribute to India's development. "I think it's important to look at the global GDP," Mr Kant said. The US has about 26 per cent of the global GDP. China is close to about 18 to 19 per cent and Europe, which had about 30 per cent, has slid to 17 per cent. The US remains the only nation that has retained the 26 per cent GDP, has been a beneficiary of free trade, has a market capitalization of 46 percent, with just a population of 4 per cent. But even this post-industrial society has consciously outsourced its manufacturing China. "All its top companies, if you look at the top 20 manufacturing companies of the United States, more than 90 to 95 percent of their manufacturing was outsourced by them to China," he said. "If we need to work with the United States, because they are a big global market, we need to work with China, because they're a major manufacturing partner... We need to get inputs, we need to get components, we need to work with some of these companies to become a global manufacturer for the future," he added. China is Pakistan's all-weather friend, and its support for India following the Pahalgam attack had been dubious. In June, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had refused to sign a joint statement at a defence minister's meet under SCO because it skipped any mention of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives and instead, mentioned Balochistan, tacitly accusing India of creating unrest there. The exclusion of Pahalgam was apparently made at the behest of Pakistan. The next month, though, China issued a strong statement against terror as the US designated The Resistance Front, a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a foreign terrorist organisation for its involvement in the Pahalgam attack. There is also the history of clashes with Chinese troops at the border in Ladakh and Arunachal that had culminated with the Galwan clash in 2020 -- heavily fraying ties between New Delhi and Beijing.
