Arunachal minister urges farmers to adopt scientific pig-rearing methods
Addressing an awareness camp at Kanubari in Longding district, Wangsu emphasised the need for scientific techniques in pig farming and called on farmers to adopt biosafety measures and move away from the traditional rearing of just one or two pigs.
The programme was organised under the Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) of ICAR-National Research Centre on Pig, Rani, Guwahati, in collaboration with ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Longding.
'Modern challenges require modern solutions. The government is ready with meat processing and marketing facilities and will scale up beneficiary-oriented programmes," the minister said.
He also directed KVK and department officials to work in close coordination to maximise outreach to farmers.
The programme also featured interactive sessions between farmers and experts, enabling participants to clarify doubts on pig farming practices.
Later, the minister inspected development sites including the Industrial Training Institute at Mopakhat, the upcoming Model Degree College, the local water treatment plant, and PMGSY road projects. PTI CORR MNB

'India NOT reviewing list of US goods exempted from tariffs': MEA debunks fake reports
Amid the tariff row between the United States and India, the Ministry of External Affairs has debunked certain fake reports circulating on social media. Taking to X, the fact check unit of the ministry has dismissed reports that India is reviewing US goods exempted from tariffs as it works towards a response to Trump's 25 percent bombshell on New Delhi. US president Donald Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on "good friend" India last week. The tariffs for India come with a penalty due to its participation in BRICS and trade with Russia,(PTI) In another post, the fact check unit for MEA dismissed a report which claimed that India is reviewing its bilateral agreements with the United States and considering suspending them 'if hostile economic policies continue.'

ED arrests ex-Axis Mutual Fund manager in 'front-running' case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Viresh Joshi, a former chief trader and fund manager of Axis Mutual Fund, in connection with a 'front-running' case involving alleged cheating of investors to the tune of ₹ 200 crore. Joshi was taken into custody on Saturday under the anti-money laundering law and has been remanded to ED custody until August 8 by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court, reported PTI. The case of front-running involves unethical and illegal practice in the securities market in which brokers or traders execute orders for their personal benefit by using advance knowledge of pending client orders. This malpractice undermines market integrity and puts other investors at a disadvantage. The federal probe agency's investigation stems from an FIR registered by the Mumbai Police in December 2024, alleging that Joshi, while serving as a fund manager at Axis Mutual Fund, "exploited" confidential information on the trades to be executed on behalf of the fund house. He is accused of pre-emptively trading stocks to generate substantial "illicit" gains, thereby cheating the investors of Axis Mutual Fund, which holds assets under management of more than ₹ 2 lakh crore, the ED told PTI. The ED launched searches in the case on August 1, across multiple locations in Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram, Ludhiana, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Bhuj and Kolkata. The agency stated that, "the search operations were part of an ongoing investigation into the illegal profits made by certain entities/persons by indulging in front-running trade activities in scrips traded by Axis Mutual Fund from 2018 to 2021.' According to ED, "The accused had utilised a terminal in Dubai to punch the front-running trade orders through mule trading accounts obtained from various brokers. Other than the case involving Joshi, the investigation has further revealed that many other traders/brokers have also misused the advance inputs on Axis Mutual Fund trades to indulge in front-running, generating illicit trade profits, which are deemed 'nothing but proceeds of crime," the agency alleged. The agency estimates the illicit funds generated by various traders/brokers to exceed ₹ 200 crore, with potential for this sum to be much higher, according to a news report.
