Haryana CM praises PM's 'transformative leadership' over Congress-era's indecisiveness
Chandigarh, Jun 10 (UNI) Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, addressing a press conference on the completion of 11 years of the Modi Government, praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for "steering the nation from a time of indecision and inefficiency to an era of dynamic governance, national pride, and global recognition". He described the last 11 years as the most transformative phase of independent India, where each citizen has felt the presence of a decisive, sensitive, and effective government. "Today's India is led by Vision, Not Vote-Bank Politics," he said. Saini said, while the previous Congress-led governments were often marked by hesitation, weak decision-making and misplaced priorities, PM Modi gave India a clear vision, a strong direction, and an unwavering commitment to public welfare and nation-first governance. Before 2014, "the country was engulfed in an atmosphere of gloom and distrust. Corruption, and ineffective leadership had blocked our progress. Those days were ruled by fear, nepotism, regionalism, and corruption, there was a complete lack of fair governance. But under the PM Modi's leadership, India witnessed a decisive and transparent administration," said CM Saini. Saini said that when PM Modi assumed office in 2014, our economy ranked 11th worldwide. He highlighted how under PM's leadership India's economy rose from the 11th to being the fourth largest global economy. He said that India's total exports reached $825 billion in 2024-25. Engineering exports grew from $73 billion in 2014-15 to $117 billion in 2024-25. Besides this, Defence exports have risen 34‑fold since 2014, reaching Rs 23,622 crore in 2024-25, compared to just Rs 1,521 crore before 2016. In the past 10 fiscal years, India attracted around US $668 billion in FDI, up from US $323 billion during 2000-2014, said the Chief Minister. UNI GS RN

IMF Team Makes First Syria Visit Since 2009
An IMF team visited Syria for the first time since 2009 to take part in efforts to rebuild the economy after years of civil war and the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the lender said Tuesday. The International Monetary Fund's trip to Damascus took place from June 1 to June 5, and its team sought to discuss authorities' priorities and how to help achieve them. Syria's economy and the country are a wreck after 14 years of war under Assad, who was ousted in December. "Syria faces enormous challenges following years of conflict that caused immense human suffering and reduced its economy to a fraction of its former size," said Ron van Rooden, who led the visit. Around six million people have fled the country while another seven million have been displaced internally, he noted. "Output has plummeted, real incomes have fallen sharply, and poverty rates are high," he said, adding that state institutions have also been weakened with much infrastructure destroyed. "There is great urgency to address these challenges and achieve a sustainable economic recovery," van Rooden said in a statement at the end of the mission. Much of Syria's infrastructure has been destroyed by the war, which began with a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests. Longtime strongman Assad was ousted in a lightning offensive by Islamist-led rebels in December, and Syria's new government has sought to rebuild diplomatic ties, including with international financial institutions. Last month, the IMF said it had held useful discussions with Syria's economic team. The Fund's last comprehensive review of the health of the Syrian economy was done in 2009, before the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011. In April, Saudi Arabia and Qatar announced that they would settle Syria's debt to the World Bank totaling about $15 million. The World Bank suspended operations in Syria when the war began. The settlement of its arrears will allow it to resume accessing the bank's financial support and technical advice.

MMRDA seeks stay, HC: Deposit Metro 1 1,169cr arbitral award
Mumbai: Bombay HC on Tuesday directed MMRDA to deposit by July 15 Rs 1,169 crore awarded by a three-member arbitral tribunal in 2023 to Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL), a special purpose vehicle operating the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro line 1 in which Anil Ambani-led Reliance Infrastructure holds majority stake. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It said the dispute would be fully examined at the final hearing but MMOPL's win in arbitration could not be rendered meaningless in the interim. Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan held that MMRDA failed to make a prima facie case for a stay without deposit. The tribunal had in Aug 2023 awarded Rs 992 crore to MMOPL as compensation for cost escalation and other contractual disputes. With interest accrued till May 31 this year, the sum rose to Rs 1,169 crore. MMRDA had sought an unconditional stay on the award, challenging it under Section 34 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act. It argued that the award was illegal and based on flawed assumptions about rent recovery, project delays and cost escalation. In response, MMOPL said MMRDA had approved key decisions and was now trying to backtrack from them. HC said the award, passed by a 2:1 majority, is in the nature of a money decree and that MMRDA, being a 26% equity holder in MMOPL, was actively involved in the project's financial decision-making. "The award cannot be termed perverse or arbitrary on the face of it," it said. The court made it clear that the amended arbitration law does not permit automatic stays and rejected MMRDA's request to avoid paying the deposit. The matter will be heard next on June 17. An official said MMRDA is yet to get a copy of the HC order. "MMRDA will thoroughly examine the order and take appropriate action."
