Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill 2025 gets Parliament's approval
New Delhi, Aug 19 (UNI) The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, aimed at promoting exploration, mining, and processing of critical and rare minerals and liberalising the overall mining regulatory framework to attract investments, was passed by the Rajya Sabha today. With this, the Bill has received approval from both Houses of Parliament. After a reply by Union Minister for Mines G Kishan Reddy during the discussion in the Upper House, the Bill was passed by a voice vote without any amendments. The Lok Sabha had already passed it earlier. Amid Opposition uproar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar during Zero Hour, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned once in the morning. When the House reconvened at 2 pm, Congress and other Opposition parties again raised the issue, but Deputy Chairman Ghanshyam Tiwari did not allow it. Protesting the decision, Opposition members walked out of the House. Afterwards, Union Minister Reddy introduced the Bill and outlined its key objectives. During the debate, 19 members from various parties participated and supported the Bill while offering suggestions. In his reply, Reddy referred to the coal scam and the opacity, nepotism, and corruption that plagued the mining sector before 2014. He said the Modi government's reforms have restored public trust in the mining sector and led to economic benefits and significant transformation. Describing the mining sector as a source of prosperity and employment, Reddy said the Bill is inspired by the goal of harnessing its potential. He noted that due to reforms over the past decade, mining has grown rapidly, and states' revenues have increased tenfold. All proceeds from mineral premiums, royalties, and other levies go to the states. He emphasised that the central government works for the nation's development, not just revenue collection. He also highlighted that India's coal production has reached one billion tonnes annually for the first time, imports have declined, and foreign exchange has been saved. Thermal power plants now have a 27-day coal stock, up from the previous average of 10–17 days. The Prime Minister, he said, personally reviews daily reports on coal stock at power plants. "Our ministry is fully prepared to meet every state's coal demand," Reddy said. He added that India is currently 100% dependent on foreign countries for critical minerals. To reduce this dependency, the Modi government has launched a Rs 32,000 crore Critical Minerals Mission and established a new PSU called KABIL (Khanij Bidesh India Ltd). Reddy informed the House that KABIL, a joint venture of National Aluminium Company, Hindustan Copper Ltd, and Mineral Exploration and Consultancy Limited, has secured five rare mineral blocks in Argentina, from which India will source lithium. In Zambia, India has obtained exploration rights over 9,000 sq km for critical minerals. Addressing criticism of the Prime Minister's foreign trips, Reddy said that during a recent tour of five countries, PM Modi held significant discussions on critical minerals in each nation. "We are working in mission mode in this sector," he added. R&D efforts have been launched, and 13 offshore blocks have been identified for auction. A dedicated division within the Geological Survey of India (GSI) has been created for critical mineral exploration, with responsibilities assigned across various states, including Jammu & Kashmir. He also stated that the government has finalised projects to reclaim 143 closed coal mines and is preparing to have the Rs 2 lakh crore spent from the District Mineral Fund audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). During the discussion, several members praised the Bill and offered inputs. BJP's Bheem Singh called the Bill a step to strengthen the regulatory framework for industrially and strategically significant deep-seated minerals. Milind Deora (Shiv Sena) said the Bill will allow Indian companies to invest in foreign rare mineral mines and boost domestic processing capacity, marking a step toward self-reliance in critical minerals. He also suggested encouraging green mining and recycling of old solar panels. NCP's Praful Patel urged the government to ease environmental regulations to prevent future bottlenecks. AIADMK's Thambi Durai raised concerns about illegal mining in Tamil Nadu and mentioned the arrest of a ruling party member in connection with unlawful activities. Tamil Manila Congress (M)'s GK Vasan also highlighted the issue of illegal sand mining in Tamil Nadu, which is harming the ecology and reducing state revenue. He said the groundwater level is falling due to negligence by the state government. YSR Congress's Ayodhya Rami Reddy Alla welcomed the easing of rules for deep-seated mining leases, saying it will improve investment efficiency and mineral supply. Biju Janata Dal's Manas Ranjan Mangaraj demanded higher mineral royalties for Odisha. BJP's Aditya Prasad alleged that coal smuggling under the Congress-supported government in Jharkhand has hurt legal sales and claimed that a youth activist opposing illegal mining was killed in a staged encounter. While some Opposition members had submitted notices for amendments, they were absent during the session. After the Bill was passed, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day to meet tomorrow at 11 am. UNI RBE SSP

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Amitabh Bachchan recalls how he would gatecrash weddings during his college days; says 'hum dhoondhte the kahin shaadi toh nahi horaha, phir khaa peeke aaramse bahar aate the'
The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 starts with host Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience. He resumes the game with rollover contestant Shruti Jain from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He teases her that since she has not invited him to her wedding, he won't come. Later, Big B asks her about how she plans to tie the knot and Shruti reveals that she is going to opt for court marriage because she doesn't want to spend money on wedding. She says, "Mujhe apni wedding nahi marriage acchi chahiye." Mr. Bachchan gets impressed after knowing about her thoughts and calls her sorted. He says, "I have learnt a new term these days, 'she is very sorted." The megastar then recalls his college days and shared a hilarious anecdote about gatecrashing weddings. He says, "Hum jab college mein the toh rupaya paisa toh hota nahi tha humare paas, shayad 2 rupaya pocket money milta tha.. toh jab bhook lage shaam ko toh samajh mein nahi aata tha kya karen? Toh hum log dhoondhte the ke kahin shaadi byaah toh nahi horaha... hum log aise jaate the jaise baarati jaa rahe ho andar. Toh darban humko poochta tha, toh hum peeche aarahe hain aise bol ke aage chale jaate tha. ..(laughs). Khaa peeke aaramse bahar aajate the. Agar aap court marriage karengi toh hum jaison ka kya hoga..." (Back then, we hardly had any money, maybe just ₹2 as pocket money. So, whenever we felt hungry in the evenings, we would look around to see if any wedding was happening nearby. We would sneak in pretending to be part of the baraat. If the gatekeeper stopped us, we'd say we were coming from behind and walk right in,' he shared with a laugh. 'We would eat to our heart's content and walk out happily. That's why I say, if you go for a court marriage, what will happen to people like us?') His hilarious anecdote left the audience in splits. Shruti admitted feeling extremely nervous, adding that it still hasn't sunk in for her that she is sitting on the hot seat, playing the game of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B starts the game and reads the question for Rs 3,00,000. Which saltwater lagoon, located along the Coromandel Coast, is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu? As Shruti is not aware of the answer, she uses her lifeline 'Audience Poll' and selects Option D) Pulicat Lake. Shruti next faces the question for Rs 5,00,000 and she again uses a lifeline. She uses her last lifeline 'Sanket Suchak'. The flag of which ofthese countries features a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, symbolising its six states and its territories? Even after getting the hint, Shruti is not able to guess the answer and she decides to quit the game. After quitting the game, Big B asks her to take a guess and she selects Option C) New Zealand. The correct answer is Option B) Australia. Shruti takes home Rs 3,00,000. Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Silence on His 'Changed' Look in KBC 17 | Here's What He Says
