'India should avoid rushing into US trade pact' India should avoid rushing into a trade deal with the US that compromises core sectors, such as agriculture, since Washington, D.C., currently is not sparing even key partners, such as the EU, Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), an economic think tank, has said. India must recognise it is not alone in facing U.S. pressure since the U.S. is currently negotiating with more than 20 countries and seeking concessions from more than 90, the organisation has added. 'Yet most are resisting because they see these MASALA (Mutually Agreed Settlements Achieved through Leveraged Arm-twisting) deals for what they are—politically driven, transactional demands, offering no lasting trade certainty,' GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava has said.

The Nuh district administration has imposed a complete ban on the sale and public handling of meat and non-vegetarian food items along the Brij Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra route and around key temples on Monday for 18 hours (6am to 12am), in a bid to maintain peace and public order during the procession, officials said.

(HT Archive) 'The ban will be effective from 6am to midnight, covering the route from Nalhad Mahadev Temple to Zhirkeshwar Mahadev Temple in Ferozepur Jhirka and the Singar Temple in Singar village,' said Nuh deputy commissioner Vishram Kumar Meena. 'All vendors and food establishments have been strictly instructed to comply. Legal action will be taken against violators,' he added. As part of broader security and administrative preparations, internet services in the district will be suspended from 9pm on Sunday, Meena said. Additionally, the permission request for the yatra by self-styled cow vigilante and Goraksha Bajrang Force chief Raj Kumar, alias Bittu Bajrangi has been rejected, and his social media account has been suspended to prevent the circulation of fake or inflammatory content. Bajrangi had moved the Punjab and Haryana high court seeking permission to participate in the Jalabhishek Yatra. The order is part of a wide-ranging effort to respect religious sentiments while ensuring the yatra concludes peacefully, officials said. Due to anticipated traffic diversions, all government and private schools in Nuh district will remain closed on July 14 to ensure the safety of students, officials added. Extensive security arrangements Security arrangements for the yatra are extensive, with 2,500 police personnel deployed across the district. This includes 14 deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) supervising 28 checkpoints, where videography and thorough security checks will be conducted. Additionally, mounted police, sniffer dogs, bomb squads, four drones, 21 video cameras, and commando units will be stationed at strategic locations. Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel equipped with light machine guns (LMGs) and tear gas will also be deployed. Officials said special vigilance will be maintained at Tiranga Park, Badkali Chowk, and the KMP Rewasan Bridge. To further tighten safety protocols, the administration banned the open sale of petrol and diesel in containers across the district on July 14. Ban on aerial objects, control room activated A blanket ban on aerial objects, including drones, gliders, microlights, kites, and firecrackers, is in effect for July 13 and 14 under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, officials said. A control room has been set up on the second floor of the Mini Secretariat and will remain operational until 9pm on Monday, with helplines available at 01267-299625 and WhatsApp +91 90503 17480. The administrative and security framework is intended to prevent a recurrence of the July 31, 2023 clashes, when violence broke out during the yatra, resulting in stone-pelting and vehicle arson, officials said, requesting anonymity. Additional director general of police Sanjay Kumar has reviewed preparations on the ground, emphasising inter-departmental coordination and continuous patrolling, especially in hilly and sensitive areas, officials said.

Cow vigilante Bittu Bajrangi, an accused in the 2023 Nuh violence case, Friday said he has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking permission to take part in a religious procession on July 14, the first Monday of the holy month of Sawan. Bajrangi, who formed the Gau Raksha Bajrang Force, has a long association with controversies. Violence erupted in Nuh in July 2023 during a Vishwa Hindu Parishad procession after it was attacked by a mob. Five people, including two home guards, were killed and many were injured in the clashes. In Gurugram, a naib imam was killed at a mosque amid a series of incidents of arson. This year, Bajrangi submitted an application to the administration to allow him to take part in the Brij Mandal Yatra, but his request is pending. "I have sought permission to go to Nuh for the yatra and have filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. I have the right to worship," said Bittu Bajrangi. Authorities are on high alert for the traditional yatra, devoted to Lord Shiva, that will be held on July 14 this year. The district and police administration in Nuh held meetings with the members of the peace committee and sarpanches to ensure that the event passes off peacefully. The Nuh police have intensified social media surveillance. Deputy Commissioner of Nuh, Vishram Kumar Meena, said, "The district administration is fully alert in view of the Brij Mandal Yatra. Guidelines have been issued to all departments concerned, and tight security arrangements have been made.
