Bhubaneswar: The Odisha govt on Wednesday launched an e-registration app to simplify the land registration process and make it user-friendly and hassle-free.
Launching the app, chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi said that the e-registration app is a major milestone in providing digital services by the state govt.
"With the launch of this app, the revenue department is not only now closer to the people but also the process will be free of brokers and unnecessary delays," Majhi added.
Through this app, people can book slots for registration deeds, apply for certified copies and Encumbrance Certificates (EC) and access land benchmark values using their Android smartphones from home. The app also provides complete information about sub-registrar offices, making the process entirely paperless and cashless, reducing unnecessary crowds at sub-registrar offices.
Majhi also unveiled the one-year report card of the revenue and disaster management department on the occasion. "The state govt provided land titles to 16,727 homeless people under the Basundhara scheme and 20,385 govt primary, upper primary, high schools, and colleges received permanent land titles in the past year," revenue minister Suresh Pujari said.
"Additionally, through a separate campaign, 4,61,602 accounts were surveyed and records of 1,16,486 deceased persons were updated in the names of their heirs, allowing farmers to benefit from various govt schemes," Pujari added.

The revenue minister also mentioned that while around 1,000 new revenue villages were notified between 1991 and 2024, only 300 of them were included in revenue maps. Last year, close to 400 revenue villages were notified with all administrative inclusions.
Odisha has been successful in managing disasters like cyclones and floods. During last year's Cyclone Dana, we achieved a zero-casualty target. Our disaster management skills are recognised globally, so we must always be ready. The achievements we made this year deserve all the praise, but Odisha must become the best state in India in providing revenue services. Therefore, we must work even harder," Pujari said.

US-China trade deal: After Donald Trump, China says details of deal ‘confirmed'; adds America to 'cancel series of restrictive measures'
Earlier in the day, Trump said that the United States and China have reached a trade agreement. (AI image) US-China trade deal: Soon after US President Donald Trump announced a trade deal, China has also confirmed that details have been finalized. China also said that United States will 'cancel a series of restrictive measures'. Earlier in the day, Trump said that the United States and China have reached a trade agreement. He also indicated an anticipated deal with India. According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's interview with Bloomberg TV, the agreement was finalized earlier this week, though specific details were not disclosed. "We just signed with China the other day," Trump said. Lutnick confirmed the agreement was "signed and sealed" two days prior. US-China Trade Deal This development follows initial discussions in Geneva in early May, where both nations agreed to delay substantial tariff increases that threatened bilateral trade. Subsequent talks in London established a negotiation framework, with Trump's mentioned deal appearing to formalise these arrangements.

Expertinspector Click Here Undo China disclosed earlier this week an acceleration in rare earth export approvals, crucial materials for high-technology products including electric vehicles. Beijing's export restrictions on rare earths have been a significant point of dispute. The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced Thursday that Beijing was expediting the review process for rare earth export licence applications and had approved several applications that met requirements. Export restrictions on minerals overshadowed tariffs during recent trade talks between Beijing and Washington, following China's implementation of licensing requirements for seven rare earth elements in April. This action potentially threatened to affect production of vehicles, robotics, wind turbines and advanced technological items in the United States and globally.

Chinese manufacturing profits decreased by more than 9 per cent year-over-year in May, with automotive manufacturers experiencing significant losses. The January-May period showed a decline exceeding 1 per cent compared to the previous year.

Hyderabad royals 'gift' Rs 150 crore land to Shiv Sena MP's driver, cops smell a rat
A shocking gift deed has raised eyebrows in Maharashtra: a three-acre land plot, worth nearly Rs 150 crore, was reportedly gifted by members of the royal Salar Jung family from Hyderabad to a driver working for Shiv Sena MP Sandipanrao Bhumre. This unusual transfer has now sparked a full investigation. What happened? Jawed Rasul Shaikh, who has worked as a driver for MP Bhumre and his MLA son Vilas for 13 years, suddenly became the legal owner of prime land on Jalna Road in Dawoodpura, Sambhajinagar. According to the gift deed (called hibanama), the land was given by Mir Mazhar Ali Khan and six relatives, descendants of the famous Salar Jung family, once prime ministers under the Nizam of Hyderabad. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Police is probing how such a valuable piece of land was gifted to someone with no known ties to the family.

Jawed told TOI that he had shared a good relationship with the Salar Jung descendants, which is why they gave him the land. He added that he's cooperating fully with the investigation and has already submitted all documents requested by the police. Police take on the case Police Commissioner Pravin Pawar said the probe began after a lawyer from Parbhani filed a complaint. Inspector Sambhaji Pawar from the EOW team said, 'We're reviewing Jawed's income, tax returns, and possible sources of wealth. He needs to clearly explain why such a valuable gift was given to him.' Live Events The EOW has also sent notices to the Salar Jung family members involved in the deed, but they haven't responded yet. Politicians react Vilas Bhumre, MLA from Paithan, said that while Jawed is their driver, they don't control his personal decisions. 'The police also questioned me, but a hibanama is a legally valid document. If Jawed received land through it, that's his matter,' he said. Legal and religious questions raised Lawyer Mujahid Khan, who filed the complaint, said what caught his eye was that Jawed has no family link to the Salar Jung descendants. He also pointed out that a hibanama is typically valid only between blood relatives. 'Jawed and the Hyderabad royals not only belong to different families but also follow different sects of Islam,' Khan added. Calls to the Salar Jung family members have gone unanswered, adding further mystery to the already strange land gift. Inputs from TOI

With bold flavours and fun plating: Small plates take over India's dining scene
Vanilla Flan Who wants one big plate when you can have five delicious little ones? Today's diners are happily swapping large, single-course meals for smaller, carefully curated dishes. 'The growing popularity of small plates reflects a shift in dining preferences—where variety, sharing, and connection take centre stage,' says Raghav Jandroia, corporate chef at Harajuku Tokyo Cafe. It's not about eating less—it's about tasting more. We speak to chefs, restaurateurs, and diners to find out more... One plate isn't enough anymore The days of ordering one starter, one main, and a dessert are numbered. 'I see small plates as a dynamic way to engage diners,' says Chef Tej Saini of Saule - Kitchen & Bar. 'You get to explore a spectrum of flavours and global influences in one sitting. It's interactive, playful, and sparks conversation.' For chefs, it's also a creative arena. Kiron Kumar, director of operations at The Park Bangalore, adds, 'Small plates allow chefs to build seasonal, sustainable menus and create an experience diners remember. A 25–30% (approx) rise in demand for small plates is seen." Beetroot tartare with avocado 'Every element earns its place on a small plate' Indian chefs are owning this with bold visuals and bold flavours. 'With limited space on a small plate, every element has to earn its place,' says Ashish Verma, executive chef, Masala Synergy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Philippines: Don't Miss Out on These Amazing Sofa Deals at Clearance Prices (Check Now) Luxury Sofa | Search ads Undo 'It's about balance—taste, texture, aroma—and of course, visual drama.' Agreeing to this, Mohit Mishra, executive chef of Udaipur Marriott Hotel explains, 'Before diners even taste the dish, they've already connected with it.' He adds that their Gatta Ricotta Empanadas with Smoked Tomato Coulis embodies this philosophy. 'It's a crisp empanada filled with spiced Rajasthani gatta and creamy ricotta, plated on a vibrant, smoky coulis.' Smoked Tomato Coulis 'Bold experimentation and cross cultural pairings' Small plates and tapas-style menus mark a clear shift in how diners engage with food. 'This allows for bold experimentation and unique cross-cultural pairings, resulting in plates that are both familiar and refreshingly inventive,' says Chef Ashish Verma. 'It lets us showcase a diverse range of flavours and global influences, all while staying rooted in the soul of Indian cuisine.' But with creativity comes complexity. 'The challenge,' Mohit adds, 'is delivering consistency and complexity across multiple dishes, without overwhelming the kitchen or compromising the experience.' Avocado Dahi Puri 'This style of dining naturally aligns with the Indian way of eating' Here's the thing—this way of eating isn't new to Indians. Sharing, variety, and sampling are built into our culture. 'Tapas-style dining naturally aligns with the Indian way of eating,' says Alisha Mehra, chef and co-founder of Bomba Pizzeria & Taqueria. 'We've always loved meals that feel social, varied, and bold.' Diners also agree to it. 'I love small plates because I get to try more without wasting food,' says food enthusiast Asmita Ray. 'Though with big groups, it can get pricey—you often have to order multiple portions of the same thing.' But whether it's a family-style meal or a tasting menu for two, the excitement of exploring new flavours wins every time. Create your own small plate meal: Start with a few easy dishes that bring in different tastes and textures. Think of pairing something crunchy like a fried snack or roasted nuts with something soft and creamy, like a chutney, dip, or yogurt-based element. Use fresh, seasonal ingredients, and keep the portions small so the meal stays light but interesting. You can also mix cooked items with raw ones, like salads, pickled vegetables, or fruit-based elements for brightness. The goal is variety on the plate without spending hours in the kitchen.
