Shiv Sena (UBT) blocks traffic in Sambhajinagar in last leg of ‘Kya Hua Tera Wada' agitation
Chhatrapti Sambhajinagar: Shiv Sena (UBT) faction organised a chakka jam protest during the final phase of its 'Kya Hua Tera Wada' agitation on Thursday.
The Sena (UBT) workers demanded comprehensive loan waivers for farmers and called for the BJP-led Mahayuti govt to fulfil all pre-election commitments.
The campaign, which commenced on June 6, sought to hold the govt accountable for promises made by BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP before the elections. Ambadas Danve, the leader of the opposition in state legislative council, headed the demonstration at Baba Petrol Pump Chowk in the city.
Demonstrators blocked major city access routes, including those from Ahilyanagar, the railway station, central bus stand, and Kranti Chowk, causing traffic disruptions for hours.
The protest saw hundreds of Shiv Sainiks, office-bearers, and farmers participating.
Police maintained strict security. Officers subsequently detained the protesters and transported them to Kranti Chowk police station. Following legal procedures, they were released with instructions to avoid future protests that might inconvenience the public.
At the demonstration, Danve criticised Mahayuti for allegedly failing the farmers.

"Mahayuti govt has failed to deliver on its promises to farmers made before the assembly elections. Farmers are reeling under debt, and govt is turning a blind eye. We demand immediate implementation of the 10-point scheme announced during the campaign," he said.
Shiv Sena deputy district chief Santosh Jejurkar came wearing traditional clothing similar to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, including a pink turban, dhoti, and kurta. He carried Phule's book 'Asud' about farmer exploitation, addressing agricultural challenges affecting both the Marathwada region and the entire state.
Party officials said that additional protests would be organised across other districts if their demands remain unaddressed.

F1 visa updates: Will US soon lift restrictions on student visas as Trump goes soft on China?
Restrictions on international student visas could be lifted soon. As President Donald Trump has softened his stance on Chinese students and said Wednesday that Chinese students would be welcome in US colleges and universities, it is anticipated that the temporary restriction on international student visa applications would be lifted soon. In the US-China trade deal, the Trump administration has agreed to accept Chinese students, as Trump announced on Truth Social: "We will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities." Trump also announced that he had always been in favor of admitting foreign students to the US as that helps US schools and universities as well. "We have 500,000 students coming in from China," Trump said. Pause on all visa interviews for social media vetting All US embassies and consular sections were asked to pause all visa interviews for the time being by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The reason cited was a preparation for an extensive social media vetting. "Effective immediately, in preparation for an expansion of required social media screening and vetting, consular sections should not add any additional students of exchange visitor (F, M and J) visa appointment capacity until further guidance is issued septel (separate telegram), which we anticipate in the coming days," the cable said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

"It was meant for a specific, almost an administrative adjustment." She said the interview pause was to ensure embassies and consulates knew what to expect in terms of additional vetting. "And that process, we were told, would be rapid," Bruce said.
