No more worker visas for commercial truck drivers: Trump admin

Agency: PTI Last Updated: Washington, Aug 22 (AP) The US will stop issuing worker visas for commercial truck drivers, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said. Announcing the move on Thursday in a post on X, Rubio said the change was effective immediately. 'The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on US roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers," Rubio posted. The department did not immediately respond to a question about the number of foreign truck drivers working in the US. The Trump administration in past months has taken steps to enforce the requirement that truckers speak and read English proficiently. The Transportation Department said the aim is to improve road safety following incidents in which drivers' inability to read signs or speak English may have contributed to traffic deaths.

After Sindoor, JeM begins drive for funds

JAMMU: After suffering major setbacks in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) has launched a Rs 3.91 billion fundraising drive under the garb of building 313 mosques, mirroring Lashkar-e-Taiba's decentralisation model, security officials said. Backed by ISI, JeM is using digital wallets like EasyPaisa and Sadapay, controlled by founder Masood Azhar 's family, to bypass scrutiny by FATF. Several accounts are linked to Azhar's brother Talha Al Saif, son Abdullah Azhar, and other commanders. Over 250 wallets are reportedly active, with social media posters, videos and Azhar's letters urging donations. Officials said JeM aims to decentralise training camps and ensure long-term financing for ops.

Haryana Human Rights Commission takes cognizance of 15-year-old Bihar boy forced into bonded labour in Jind

The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance of the inhuman treatment of a 15-year-old boy from Bihar, who was lured into bonded labour under false promises of employment by his Jind-based employer. A three-member bench of the HHRC, led by chairperson (retd) Justice Lalit Batra, observed that the child was physically harmed and denied basic human dignity. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) The boy was separated from his companions at Bahadurgarh railway station when an unidentified man approached him with the offer of work at a buffalo dairy for a salary of ₹10,000 per month. However, the HHRC found that he was subjected to forced labour and physical abuse for two months. During this period, he suffered injuries while cutting fodder, but instead of receiving medical care, his employer abandoned him in an isolated location. The boy eventually managed to reach Nuh, where a local teacher rescued him, admitted him to a primary health centre, and informed the police. A three-member bench of the HHRC, led by chairperson (retd) Justice Lalit Batra, observed that the child was physically harmed and denied basic human dignity. 'This is a breakdown of the protective mechanisms that ought to shield children from such exploitation. The child's ability to survive without food, water, or medical attention for days, and his eventual rescue by a concerned teacher, reflect both the tragic vulnerability and rare resilience of the victim. The failure of authorities to detect and prevent this incident raises serious questions about the adequacy of existing surveillance and rescue mechanisms, especially in vulnerable migration corridors,' the panel stated in its order. The HHRC directed the deputy commissioners of Nuh and Jind to submit a detailed report within eight weeks, covering the status of compensation, the progress of investigation, and welfare measures for the boy. It also instructed the superintendents of police of Jind and Nuh to conduct a comprehensive inquiry, including identifying and arresting the accused, verifying bonded labour practices at the dairy, and examining the circumstances of the boy's employment and subsequent abandonment. In addition, the Civil Surgeon of Nuh has been asked to provide a complete medical report on the boy's injuries and treatment. The child protection officer of Nuh has been directed to prepare a rehabilitation plan that includes psychological counselling, education, and repatriation to his family. The commission has scheduled the next hearing for November 4.
