'Deliberations centred on synergising efforts to construct and upgrade vital road links in the remote and strategically significant areas of Eastern #ArunachalPradesh. Special attention was given to the proposed hydroelectric power Projects in the state. All stakeholders agreed to synchronise efforts to ensure the timely execution of projects, thus bolstering national security and promoting socio-economic development in the region,' the post stated.
Recently, Arunachal Pradesh declared 2025-35 the Decade of Hydro Power in an effort to harness its significant hydropower potential, estimated at 58,000 MW.
The decision was taken during the Arunachal Pradesh government's special cabinet meeting on Friday, which was attended by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, the Governor, and the Deputy Chief Minister.
In a press statement of the CMO Arunachal Pradesh, it said that during the Decade of Hydro Power, the government aims to undertake strategic policy and governance measures not just to harness the hydropower potential through a judicious mix of mega, large and small hydroelectric projects, but also to create a stable and supportive policy and regulatory framework for the overall development of the industrial ecosystem in the state, both as a source of economic growth and as a means of generating employment and self-employment opportunities for youth of Arunachal Pradesh.
With around 19 GW of hydropower projects under development with cumulative investments of over Rs 2 lakh crore in the next 10 years, Arunachal Pradesh is estimated to receive annual revenues of Rs 4,525 crore from the sale of free power from HEPs from 2035 onwards, the statement stated. (ANI)

Sebi bans Sanjiv Bhasin, 11 others for stock manipulation, fraudulent gains
Sebi on Tuesday barred Sanjiv Bhasin, a former director at IIFL Securities, and 11 others from the securities markets for indulging in share manipulation in a case pertaining to providing stock recommendations on media channels and other social media platforms. Additionally, Sebi directed them to disgorge ill-gotten gains of Rs 11.37 crore. In its 149-page interim order, Sebi noted that Bhasin was a well-known media guest expert with a huge following on social media. While associated with IIFL as a director or consultant, Bhasin provided stock recommendations through media channels, Telegram, and IIFL platforms. Sebi's investigation revealed that prior to his appearances on media channels, Bhasin would take positions -- primarily buy orders-- in the trading accounts of Gemini Portfolios, Venus Portfolios, and HB Stock Holdings Ltd through dealers of the trading member RRB Master Securities Delhi Ltd. Given the significant viewership of these channels, his stock recommendations had a considerable impact on the price and volume of the recommended scrips. Capitalizing on this influence, Bhasin would then execute opposite trades (sell orders) in the same accounts, contrary to his public buy recommendations, to profit from the surge in prices of the recommended scrips. Bhasin was employed with IIFL Securities in various capacities since 2015. He was employed with IIFL as a Director from April 1, 2017, to November 30, 2022. Thereafter, he was once again engaged with the company as a Consultant from December 1, 2022, to June 17, 2024. A search and seizure operation conducted by Sebi on June 13-14, 2024, across multiple locations in NCR led to the discovery of critical evidence, including WhatsApp chats and audio recordings. These revealed the modus operandi used by Bhasin in operating the fraudulent scheme of creating contrary positions to his own recommendations in the form of BTST (Buy Today Sell Tomorrow) or intraday trades. It was also revealed that Lalit Bhasin, cousin of Sanjiv Bhasin, aided him and, at times, assisted in placing the alleged fraudulent trades. Further, Ashish Kapur, Managing Director of RRB Master Securities Ltd, provided the necessary infrastructure and set-up to facilitate the scheme. The investigation also revealed that several other connected entities misused confidential trade order information obtained directly or indirectly from Sanjiv Bhasin. By mirroring his trading strategy, these entities placed similar trades either in their own accounts or in accounts controlled by them, thereby making ill-gotten gains. Sebi noted that Sanjiv Bhasin and others have been found to have violated provisions of PFUTP (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practice) norms and research analyst rules, collectively making illegal gains amounting to Rs 11.37 crore. Accordingly, the regulator has passed interim directions restraining them from accessing the securities market and prohibited them from buying, selling, or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly and asked them to disgorge the illegal gains.
