India has adequate energy supplies for coming months: Oil Minister Puri amid Israel-Iran escalation
The Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday said that India has adequate energy supplies for the coming months amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. "We have adequate energy supplies for the coming months," said Puri in a post on X. The statement comes after he held a periodic review with Petroleum Ministry Secretary and CMDs of India's energy PSUs. "India's energy strategy is shaped by successfully navigating the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability under the dynamic leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji," said Puri. Crude prices soared more than 13 percent at one point Friday following the overnight attacks -- reaching the highest levels since January. They later pulled back but were still up by around eight percent around 1300 GMT, with international benchmark Brent North Sea crude at nearly $75 per barrel. Live Events

AIADMK alliance still shapeless and BJP trying to gain foothold through religion, says Thirumavalavan
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and Chidambaram MP Thol. Thirumavalavan on Friday contended that the AIADMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu remains 'shapeless'. In his view, Union Home Minister Amit Shah's second visit to the State (within two months), is part of an attempt to give the alliance some structure ahead of Assembly election. Speaking to the media persons ahead of the party's rally to be held in Tiruchi on June 14, Mr. Thirumavalavan criticised the BJP's religious outreach, including events such as the Murugan devotees' conference, stating that such religion-oriented politics should not be allowed to take root in Tamil Nadu. Mr. Thirumavalavan reaffirmed the party's commitment to the DMK-led front but insisted that coordination and seat-sharing must reflect mutual respect. 'No party should dominate or dictate terms. We have long demanded a share in governance, but this is not the moment to emphasise that,' he said. Responding to questions on TASMAC liquor outlets, Mr. Thirumavalavan reiterated the party's consistent stand that all State-run liquor shops must be shut permanently.

Sule seeks ‘white paper' from civil aviation ministry on safety issues; questions govt's approach
'Just the other day there was a railway accident, and now a plane crash. Infrastructure may be improving, but if people are dying in the process, there is need for introspection. Who is going to take responsibility for the loss of lives? It is the government that should show moral responsibility and take safety measures seriously, whether it is in railways, roads or aviation,' Sule said. She also cited the Mumbra accident near Mumbai, in which four persons died after falling off two suburban trains, and said she would seek a detailed discussion on both incidents in Parliament. Pune, Jun 13 (PTI) NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule on Friday demanded a 'white paper' from the civil aviation ministry on safety issues in the past 10 years in the backdrop of the horrific Ahmedabad plane crash a day earlier, in which 241 of 242 persons on board perished. 'The civil aviation ministry should publish a white paper covering the last 10 years. They (government) advertise that even an ordinary person can now fly because of affordable ticket prices. But what is the point if passengers are risking their lives? What is the use of a discounted journey if there's no guarantee they'll return home safely?' she questioned. 'We will definitely demand a detailed discussion in Parliament on both the railway accident and the plane crash, just like the discussion held on the Pahalgam attack,' she said while asserting that there is growing concern for safety of passengers in the railway, road and aviation sectors. She admitted that infrastructure has improved, as claimed by the government, but pointed out that accidents have also increased. In Pune, she said a newly inaugurated railway terminus saw waterlogging in the rains, which should be investigated. 'There's a lot of talk about infrastructure, development, and urbanization, but are we reviewing safety issues in areas such as potable water, accidents, pollution, and rising COVID cases? Are such reviews happening at the state level?' she asked. Sule praised Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari for his consistent focus on safety issues. 'He is one minister who is serious about people's safety. He encourages MPs to raise such issues in Parliament and is always ready to answer. He insists that MPs must pay attention to safety in their constituencies. But unfortunately, no follow-up meetings are being held at the state or national level,' Sule said.
