Vaiko urges Centre to find permanent solution to fishermen issue in Palk Bay
Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) general secretary Vaiko on Wednesday (July 23, 2025) urged the Union government to take immediate steps to secure the release of all Indian fishermen arrested by Sri Lankan authorities, along with their boats, and to hold talks with the Sri Lankan government to retrieve the Katchatheevu island. According to a press release, Mr. Vaiko, while speaking in the Rajya Sabha, drew the attention of the Centre to the increasing number of mid-sea arrests of fishermen from Tamil Nadu by the Sri Lankan Navy at Palk Bay. A total of 150 fishermen had been arrested since the beginning of this year, he said. Their families were facing severe financial distress and forced to pay hefty fines imposed by the Sri Lankan authorities to secure the release of their relatives, Mr. Vaiko said. The Sri Lankan Navy continues to act aggressively, violating the traditional rights of the Tamil Nadu fishermen. To prevent such arrests in the future and to protect the rights of the fishing community, the Union government should find a permanent solution to this issue, he said. Further, the Union government should exert pressure on the Sri Lankan government to provide compensation to the families of those killed by the Sri Lankan Navy in the last 10 years and to those whose boats were damaged, he added.

Not govt but NGT has banned use of old vehicles in NCR: Gadkari
New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI) Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday said the government has not prohibited plying of old vehicles, and it was the National Green Tribunal which banned use of diesel and petrol vehicles beyond a certain age in the NCR. The vehicle scrapping policy of the government does not ban use of 15-year-old vehicles, Gadkari said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha. He further said that the Supreme Court has directed the transport departments of states in the National Capital Region (NCR) that all diesel vehicles more than 10 years old and petrol vehicles more than 15 years old shall not ply in terms of order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) dated April 7, 2015. The road transport and highways minister said that the government has formulated the Voluntary Vehicle Fleet Modernization Program (V-VMP) or Vehicle Scrapping Policy for creation of an ecosystem to phase out unfit and polluting vehicles in an environment-friendly manner. "Under this for private vehicles plying in States/UTs other than Delhi NCR, determined based on their fitness status, as certified by the Automated Testing Stations (ATS)," he said. In respect of vehicles registered in the name of governments, the usage will expire after 15 years, Gadkari added. Responding to a separate query, the minister said till date, 13,795 black spots have been identified on National Highways. The minister said rectification of black spots is a continuous process, and temporary measures are taken on an immediate basis. "Out of total 13,795 black spots identified on National Highways (NHs) in the country, short-term rectification has been completed on 11,866 black spots and long-term rectification has been completed on 5,324 black spots," Gadkari said. Replying to another question, he said the Dehradun-Delhi Access Controlled highway with a total capital cost of ₹ 11,868.6 crore is targeted for completion by October 2025.

Amit Shah to roll out National Cooperative Policy 2025 with 20-year vision—here's what to expect and why it matters
India's Cooperative sector is set for a major overhaul as Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah will launch the National Cooperative Policy 2025 on July 24, Thursday, effective from this year for two decades. It replaces the 2002 policy that provided a fundamental framework for better handling of cooperative institutions' economic activities. Now, the new policy emphasises reviving and modernising the cooperative sector while aiming to achieve prosperity through cooperation by developing a roadmap at the ground level. The aim of the National Cooperative Policy 2025 is to ensure that cooperative organisations are accessible to all, run efficiently and professionally, geared towards future needs, and capable of generating extensive employment and income-generating avenues, particularly in rural areas. The Ministry of Cooperation believes significant changes occurred in the society, country and abroad in the last 20 years due to globalisation and technological innovation. Considering this, 'it became necessary to formulate a new policy so that cooperative institutions can be made more active and useful in the current economic scenario and the role of the cooperative sector can be strengthened in achieving the goal of 'Viksit Bharat 2047', the ministry stated. Shah pointed out three key factors contributing to the decline of the cooperative movement in India: outdated laws that remained unchanged, lack of evolution and expansion in cooperative activities, and recruitment practices influenced by favouritism. "The Modi government has now amended these laws and conceived the idea of Tribhuvan Sahkari University (TSU) to address these issues," he asserted. It will support employment and benefit 1.4 billion people. 2. Shah mentioned setting up cooperatives in every village across India within five years, with a goal of establishing 2,00,000 Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) by February 2026, at a state cooperation ministers' meeting on the occasion of the celebration of the International Year of Cooperatives (IYC) 2025. 3. During the meeting that assessed initiatives taken by the Ministry of Cooperation, talks on advancing dairy and fisheries cooperatives and executing the world's largest grain storage scheme within the cooperative sector took place. Shah mandated that all states declare their own cooperative policies by January 31, 2026. 'Now we have brought cooperative banks under the Banking Act and the Reserve Bank of India has also taken a flexible approach and solved many of our problems," the minister said. He stressed that not a single village in the country should be left without a cooperative, and the National Cooperative Database should be utilised to attain this goal. A 48-member national-level committee led by former Union Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu drafted the new National Cooperative Policy. The committee comprised representatives from national and state cooperative federations, cooperative societies across various levels and sectors, officials from relevant central and state government ministries or departments, and academicians. To promote an inclusive and participatory process, the committee conducted 17 meetings and organised four regional workshops in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Gurugram, and Patna. In total, 648 suggestions from stakeholders were thoroughly reviewed and integrated into the new cooperative policy. (With inputs from ANI and PTI)
