Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini meets state co-incharge Surendra Singh Nagar
During the meeting, both leaders held detailed and meaningful discussions on various organisational issues concerning the party's structure and strategy.
According to officials, the meeting was part of a routine exchange of ideas between senior party members and aimed at strengthening the party's coordination at both the state and national levels.
'Today, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini paid a courtesy visit to State Co-incharge and Rajya Sabha MP Surendra Singh Nagar at his residence in Delhi. During this, detailed and meaningful discussions were held on various organisational issues,' a party statement said.
A day earlier, in a significant initiative to transform Haryana into a global tourism hotspot, the Nayab Singh Saini government said it is gearing up for a series of ambitious projects that promise to boost the economy, create jobs, and firmly place Haryana on the international map.
From building a world-class Disneyland in the heart of the Delhi-NCR region to expanding the scale of the International Gita Mahotsav, the Haryana government is set to become a hub of cultural celebration and spiritual heritage.
Additionally, to establish the state as a global destination for pilgrimage, a proposal has been made to organise three Melas every year at Surajkund and to celebrate the International Gita Mahotsav on a larger scale, with a request for financial assistance from the Central Government.
Leading this vision, the Chief Minister paid a courtesy visit to Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Wednesday to discuss these ambitious projects. During the meeting, Saini discussed ways to promote tourism in Haryana and preserve the state's rich cultural heritage, to establish the state as a prominent tourist destination on the global map.

Govt reconstitutes border experts group with Sena MP Mane its head
Kolhapur: State govt has reappointed the Shiv Sena MP from Hatkanangle, Dhairyasheel Mane, as the head of the experts committee on the Maharashtra-Karnataka border dispute. Kolhapur's Rajya Sabha member Dhananjay Mahadik has been made co-chairman of the experts group, which has the task of assisting govt in presenting the border dispute case strongly in the Supreme Court . Mane's appointment has been made against the suggestion of the Madhyavarti Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti of Belagavi that sought NCP (SP) state chief Jayant Patil be made the committee's chairman, considering his long-standing association with Marathi activists advocating for the inclusion of Marathi-speaking areas from Karnataka into Maharashtra. Last week, Marathi activists gathered at Belagavi and passed a resolution recommending the appointment of Patil as head of the committee. They even wrote a letter to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis in this regard, and also met NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar during his recent Kolhapur visit. Pawar had assured them that he would put in a word with the CM. "Our recommendation has not been accepted. We think party politics has crept into the issue, which is very sensitive since we, as Marathis, are going through hardships and generations have passed fighting for the inclusion of Maharashtra after the states were formed on a linguistic basis," a senior office-bearer of the Samiti said. Earlier, Mane was made the head of the expert committee after Eknath Shinde became the chief minister in 2022. The panel has a total of nine members, including the principal secretary of the law department.

"Not Received Any Clearance": Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey On Pakistan Men's Hockey Team Travelling To India
Former captain and Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey confirmed that the board hasn't received any clearance from the government about the Pakistan men's hockey team travelling to India for the Asia Cup and Junior Hockey World Cup, which are set to be held in the nation later this year. There is uncertainty over Pakistan's men's hockey team's participation in the tournaments after the cross-border tension between India and Pakistan escalated in May earlier this year. India will host the Asia Cup from August 29 to September 7 at the recently developed Rajgir Hockey Stadium in Bihar. The Men's Junior Hockey World Cup is scheduled to take place from November 28 to December 10 in Tamil Nadu. Tirkey addressed the ongoing reports about Pakistan travelling to India and participating in the tournament and told ANI, "We have seen many tournaments, and whenever there is a match between India and Pakistan, the whole world likes to watch it. Two tournaments that we are going to host, Pakistan is going to participate in both. However, till now, we have not received any clearance; once we get it, we will move forward accordingly." Pakistan's men's hockey team toured India for the Hockey World Cup in 2018. Apart from Pakistan, India will host Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, Oman and Chinese Taipei in the next month's Asia Cup. Meanwhile, in the Junior Hockey World Cup, India and Pakistan have been drafted in Pool B alongside Chile and Switzerland. While the Pakistan hockey team is travelling to India, it remains to be seen if their men's cricket team will cross the border for the Asia Cup, which is scheduled to be held in India, the official host of the tournament, later this year. In February this year, the Indian team didn't travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy and played all their matches at a neutral venue in Dubai. It was also confirmed that the hybrid model will be adopted for all ICC events in the 2024-27 cycle, which will be held in India or Pakistan.

153 countries importing toys from India: Piyush Goyal
New Delhi [India], July 4 (ANI): India's toy industry, once heavily dependent on imports, is now manufacturing domestically and exporting to 153 countries, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal addressing the 16th Toy Biz International B2B Expo 2025 on Friday said as he highlighted this remarkable transformation. He said that this shift has been made possible through consistent policy support, the enforcement of quality standards, and the strengthening of local manufacturing clusters. The implementation of the Quality Control Order (QCO), he added, has helped make India a quality-conscious country and enabled domestic toy manufacturers to meet global benchmarks. The Minister stated that India's population of 1.4 billion offers a vast captive market, which creates a natural advantage for scaling up manufacturing. With this scale, the industry can achieve cost efficiency and become globally competitive. The large domestic market, he said, not only supports expansion but also acts as a foundation for international growth. To capture the global market, Goyal stressed the need for the industry to focus on good branding, attractive packaging, and strong product design. He said that if these three aspects are prioritised, Indian toys can gain stronger appeal across international markets. The growth of the toy industry, Goyal noted, reflects the broader journey of development in the country. He recalled that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Vocal for Local initiative, it was met with skepticism by many, as foreign products dominated consumer preference. However, under the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and the belief that Local can go Global, awareness and support for home-grown industries have steadily increased. Goyal stated that startups developing innovative toy concepts have received significant support through the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, which has now been extended to 20 years. This, he said, has provided access to collateral-free loans for small businesses. He further informed that to promote domestic production, 18 toy clusters across the country have been supported by the Ministry of MSME. To build on this progress, the Minister said that the government is planning to introduce a new promotional scheme for the toy sector. The scheme, he explained, will aim to help Indian toy manufacturers become world-class by enhancing design capabilities, ensuring quality manufacturing, strengthening packaging, and supporting brand building. With sustained focus on innovation, quality, and market development, Goyal expressed confidence that India's toy industry is poised to become a key player in the global market. (ANI)
