Pune to host conference on banking and MSMEs on Sunday
Pune: Sahakar Bharati and the Global Indian Origin Network, an accountants' collective, have organized 'Banking and MSME Sector Conclave 2025' in the city on Sunday to fill the gaps in awareness regarding banking among micro and small enterprises. "Several MSMEs do not have a clear understanding of presenting their financials or collateral while taking a loan from a bank. Creditors, on the other hand, lack data on MSMEs, which makes providing loans much more difficult," Dinesh Gandhi, chairperson of Sahakar Bharati, said on Wednesday. A recent study by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi) stated that the MSME sector has an addressable credit gap of up to Rs 30 crore. The credit gap is higher for women-led MSMEs. The study suggested policy changes to address the issues. Additional concerns such as provisions related to goods and services tax (GST), single window clearance and Mudra loans, will also be addressed in the conference, Gandhi said. The report stated that Maharashtra leads in the number of registered MSMEs at 80 lakh units, followed by Uttar Pradesh at 65 lakh, Tamil Nadu at 49 lakh, West Bengal at 43 lakh and Karnataka at 41 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The price of dental implants may surprise you Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo Around 400 entrepreneurs are expected to attend the conference, while experts including Satish Marathe, founding member of Sahakar Bharati, Vidyadhar Anaskar, chairperson of Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank and Abhay Firodia, chairperson of Force Motors, will guid the businesspersons.

NIA conducts searches in Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, and seven other locations in Neemrana hotel firing case
India's counter terrorism agency, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), on Saturday, May 3, 2025, conducted search operations in 10 locations related to the Neemrana hotel firing attack of 2024, according to the official press release. The government agency conducted its search operations in locations like Rajasthan, Haryana and Delhi, among seven other places to find more information about the conspiracy behind Neemrana hotel firing attack which was linked with Canada-based Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla. According to the official data, attackers who sought to terrorise and threaten people in total fired 35 gunshots around the premises of Hotel Highway King on September 8, 2024. The two attackers who fired the gunshots were identified as members of the Bambiah gang who have some links to the Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla's terror network. Both attackers used weapons to threaten the hotel owner and manager to extort money, and this came after the owner received multiple threat calls from international numbers, according to the release. The counter terrorism agency, NIA, took over the case in December 2024 and made multiple seizures of electronic devices and other incriminating materials after it conducted its searches at several properties, which were allegedly engaged in promoting violent criminal activities. The people who were under the suspected radar of the agency were allegedly involved in providing financial support and assisting in carrying out acts of violence and terror on behalf of terrorist Arsh Dalla and his associate Dinesh Gandhi, the NIA investigation states. The investigations also showed how Dalla's associates have been using methods of extortion through such terror and violent acs to raise funds for the banned Khalistani terrorist outfits. According to the release, Businessmen were among others who were being threatened to pay off a huge sum of money. 'Investigations in the case RC 01/2024/NIA/JPR are continuing as part of NIA's all-out efforts to identify and dismantle terrorist and gangster syndicates active in the country,' said NIA in its release. As per the news agency ANI's report from April 20, 2025, NIA identified and charged three people in the Neemrana hotel firing case. Sachin alias Praveen alias Dholia, Yogesh alias Monu, and Vijay alias Kale, were the three people accused last month, according to the agency report. The NIA filed its second supplementary charge sheet before the NIA Special Court, Jaipur, naming Dharmendra Singh, Gaurav and Deepak for conspiring with other accused to carry out the attack on Hotel Highway King in Neemrana on December 2024, reported the agency, citing NIA statement.
