"Demand from safe-haven seekers has cooled while central bank buying stays sound, even though not as strong as earlier in the year. We still expect gold to move higher in the longer term," Menke said.

Udupi to get Rs 150 crore for landslide, sea erosion mitigation
Udupi: The Karnataka govt has earmarked Rs 150 crore to address recurring issues of landslides and sea erosion in Udupi, said revenue minister Krishna Byre Gowda during his visit to the sea erosion-hit Moolur Thottam area in Kaup on Wednesday. The minister told reporters that sea erosion has been a serious concern for nearly four decades. "Over the years, several measures were implemented, but in many places, they were not sustainable and there have been new places prone to sea erosion. The state government has now drawn up a Rs 300 crore mitigation plan for the three coastal districts, of which Rs 100 crore is earmarked for Udupi," he said. He said that the deputy commissioner was directed to submit a detailed proposal for Rs 100 crore, which will be finalised shortly. "This is part of a long-term strategy to contain sea erosion. Several methods have been tried over the years, some succeeded, some did not. I will hold consultations with experts, and once I am convinced of the most effective approach, we will proceed with the final action plan," the minister explained. Further, the minister said that in the coastal and Malnad regions, frequent landslides during monsoons prompted the govt to act.

As a preventive measure, the govt proposed the construction of retaining walls worth Rs 500 crore across six districts. Udupi district will receive Rs 50 crore under this initiative. "In total, Udupi district will get Rs 150 crore, including Rs 100 crore for sea erosion and Rs 50 crore for landslip-prone areas. The DC was asked to identify vulnerable locations and submit a consolidated proposal," the minister said, adding that full-scale implementation may take up to two years. He also noted that IIT-Madras submitted technical recommendations for sea erosion control, which will be looked into. During his day-long visit to Udupi, he said that the damage reported this year is less compared to the previous monsoon. Urea shortage raised with Centre On the urea shortage, the minister criticised the central govt for not meeting the state's full requirement. "We are still short of 15%–20% of the urea stock. Some regions received early rainfall, resulting in early sowing. We submitted reports and wrote letters to Union ministers, including those from Karnataka, but there was no response," he said. He assured that district administrations, including DCs and SPs, are ensuring responsible distribution of available urea and urged the Centre to supply the remaining stock. Responding to a query on the 9/11 issue regarding land transactions, the minister said he would take it up with the rural development and panchayat raj and urban development minister. "We will discuss the matter and look into possible solutions," he added.

Arunachal to give permits online
Itanagar: Building construction permits in Arunachal Pradesh will now be issued through online process only with the launch of Online Building Permission System (OBPS). Arunachal Pradesh urban affairs minister Balo Raja launched the system on Wednesday. The OBPS is designed to enhance efficiency, transparency, accessibility, and ease the process of obtaining building construction permits for denizens of all districts, public or private, govt or business establishment, Raja said. He said the system aligns with the state govt's efforts to improve public services under ease of doing business. The minister stressed the need for ensuring wide publicity of the system so that the general public is made aware of the importance of the system and its consequences, if not adhered to by anyone. To facilitate OBPS, the Directorate of Town Planning will shift the department's website from static to dynamic mode. It will be more user friendly, interactive and can handle large amounts of data and user interactions efficiently with online banking facilities. Chief secretary Manish Kumar Gupta said the system will deregulate the process of obtaining building permits, thereby resulting in a cut down on time required for obtaining building permits. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo OBPS is a collaborative project of the Town and Country Planning Organisation (TCPO) under Union ministry of housing and urban affairs, and Directorate of Town Planning, department of urban affairs, with NIC Shillong providing the technical support.

DC stresses role of agricultural technology and ethics at faculty training
Mandya: Agriculture plays a vital role in shaping the global financial system, and professors must equip students with knowledge of emerging agricultural technologies, said DC Kumara. He was speaking at the inauguration of a two-day training programme for newly appointed assistant professors, held at VC Farm here on Wednesday. Congratulating the newly established Mandya University of Agricultural Sciences, Kumara expressed hope that such capacity-building programmes for newly recruited faculty and staff would act as valuable platforms for knowledge enhancement and professional development. He highlighted that agricultural scientists are increasingly elevating the reach of Indian agriculture to the global stage through the adoption of modern, cutting-edge technologies. "These training programmes are not just learning opportunities, but sources of inspiration," he said. Kumara emphasised the importance of sincerity in one's work. "Every task undertaken with dedication yields meaningful results. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 8 speakeasy bars and restaurants in Singapore to check out CNA Undo Staff must work without expecting immediate rewards—this selfless approach contributes to both institutional progress and personal growth," he stated. He also stressed the importance of the practical application of scientific research. "Research findings should not be confined to academic journals. They must be translated into viable technologies that can directly benefit farmers in their fields," he asserted. Calling to uphold high professional ethics, Kumara said, "Transparency and a service-oriented mindset in our professional lives can lead us to greater success. If combined with a commitment to agricultural advancement, India can continue to maintain its leading role in global agriculture."
