Doomdooma civic body clears encroachments from major mkt area
1 2 3 4 Dibrugarh: Looking to remove unauthorised encroachments from public footpaths and drainage systems, Doomdooma municipal authorities on Saturday conducted eviction drives across the busy Daily Bazar area and other prominent commercial locations. The operation, led by executive magistrate Sudip Gogoi and Doomdooma Municipal Board (DMB) executive officer Bidyut Bikash Changmai, resulted in seizure of several goods that had been illegally placed along public walkways, blocking pedestrian access. Despite local authorities issuing warnings for the past two weeks to shopkeepers and vendors to voluntarily clear public walkways, many business establishments continued to flout norms, prompting officials to issue a final 48-hour notice, which expired on Friday. "Public pathways must remain accessible for all citizens. We cannot allow private commercial interests to compromise the basic right of pedestrians to move freely. We urge the shopkeepers and vendors to cooperate with these efforts and not block the footpaths in future," Changmai said. The eviction drive was primarily focused across the Daily Bazar area, where vendors and shopkeepers had gradually extended their businesses onto public footpaths and drainage areas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

The loudspeaker announcements over the past two weeks and the 48-hour final notice were more than sufficient opportunity for everyone to clear their unauthorised occupations," Gogoi said. The seized goods from the eviction drive have been catalogued and stored in municipal custody. Authorities said rightful owners may reclaim their property through proper legal channels. DMB officials said similar operations will be conducted across other areas, where unauthorised encroachments have been identified.

German cabinet approves $52 bln corporate tax relief package
BERLIN, June 4 (Reuters) - The German cabinet approved a 46 billion-euro ($52 billion) tax relief package on Wednesday to support companies and revive its sluggish economy from this year through 2029, the government said. The package is the first in a series of expected measures from Germany's new government to boost the economy, which could be facing a third consecutive year of contraction for the first time in its post-war history. "After just four weeks in office, we are presenting the first important reforms to ensure new economic strength," German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said on Wednesday. "We are providing the economy with urgently needed planning certainty and creating strong investment incentives." The package includes measures such as favourable depreciation options of as much as 30% per year for three years to ease companies' tax burden. To encourage electric car purchases, buyers will be able to depreciate 75% of the purchase price in the year in which the vehicle is bought. "This new depreciation rule provides a welcome short-term stimulus for the manufacturing sector," said Deutsche Bank economist Robin Winkler. "However, its impact on facilitating the broader structural transformation of the German economy is likely to be limited." U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies are expected to hurt Germany's export-oriented economy and its new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, will travel to Washington to meet Trump on Thursday. The package also includes a promised one percentage point cut to the corporate tax rate each year over five years from 2028, bringing it down to 10% by 2032. The package shows the new government's capacity to act, as it moved "swiftly and without disruptive noise," German Mittelstand association DMB President Marc S. Tenbieg said, adding it "creates planning security for those who can currently invest." Economy Minister Katherina Reiche said there will be further measures to cut energy costs, reduce bureaucracy and speed planning and approval procedures. The measures will cut government tax revenue by 2.5 billion euros this year, rising to a reduction of 12 billion euros at the peak in 2028, the last year of office for the ruling coalition. The package still needs the approval of the lower and upper houses of parliament. Germany's parliament approved plans for a massive spending surge in March, throwing off decades of fiscal conservatism. Additional measures, including a 500 billion-euro infrastructure fund, should be brought to the cabinet with the draft 2025 budget on June 24 and the first draft of the 2026 budget on July 30. The German government is deploying huge amounts of capital into the topic of industrial resilience, Simon Pex, managing director at Carlyle Europe Partners, said. "The more positive political sentiment in the country might accelerate economic growth in a positive way," Pex said. "Germany could be a good place of opportunity in the next decade."

Ducab Metals Business campaign makes brand more relatable with partners, customers
Ducab has launched an awareness and education-based campaign titled How DMB Makes It Happen, which is aimed at highlighting the quality of the products of Ducab Metals Business (DMB). The campaign brought to life by Saatchi & Saatchi Middle East and Prodigious was intended to reinforce DMB's credibility and leadership in the metals sector within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The mandate of the campaign was to build a deeper understanding about DMB – both internally among employees and externally with partners, customers and the wider industrial community – by making the brand relatable. The campaign was carried across the brand's social media channels, and will run for a month. The creative style of the hero video was a blend of industrial storytelling and brand symbolism. It combined cinematic visuals with a narrative that positioned DMB as more than just a metal supplier; it reflected the human side of the brand, its values, its people and its role in shaping real-world progress. 'Progress is human; it's hands-on – sparking what turns metal into motion. sparking what turns copper and aluminium into lifelines and the engines that drive you forward,' the narrative on the campaign video states. Success metrics of the campaign are being monitored based on social media engagement.

Why Tom Cruise is a very British movie star — by those who know him best
In spring 2021, at the tail-end of the pandemic, Dean Bartle was mopping the floor of his showroom of Porsches and Ferraris near Church Fenton, north Yorkshire. His business, DMB Collection, backs on to Leeds East airport, where Bartle's gaze was caught by a svelte black helicopter. The lead passenger, an American, bellowed out, 'Hey man, what's DMB stand for?' The sun was bright, his figure a silhouette, and his face was covered by aviators and a Covid mask. Bartle said it was just his initials, but added, because he had been warned against starting a showroom, that some say it stands for 'Dean's Massive Balls'. The American laughed wildly. It was Tom Cruise. 'He was here for over an hour, talking about cars because
