Saha is oblivious to the tug-of-war over tariffs. He is simply racing to meet a tight deadline for orders bound for the United States -- a story repeated across the export-focused units of Howrah Ishita Ayan Dutt Howrah Listen to This Article Tarak Saha, a veteran in Howrah's foundry and casting industry, has never heard of Donald Trump, let alone the steep tariff the US president has slapped on the goods made at the manufacturing unit where he works. Yet he is one of its quiet beneficiaries, clocking overtime ahead of Durga Puja next month. But with a total of 50 per cent tariff set to come into force in days, those extra hours — and extra pay — may soon vanish. Saha is oblivious to the tug-of-war over tariffs.

Tirunelveli MP seeks more stops for trains in Nagercoil-Tirunelveli section
Tirunelveli Member of Parliament C. Robert Bruce of the Congress has appealed to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to improve passenger amenities at four railway stations and provide stops for trains in Melapalayam, Nanguneri, Valliyoor, and Panagudi stations in Tirunelveli-Nagercoil section. The MP said in a memorandum that several trains, including Nagercoil-Comibatore Express Train, used to stop at Melapalayam and Kaavalkinaru on Nagercoil–Tirunelveli section prior to COVID-19 outbreak as patronage was good. After the lockdown was lifted, these trains did not have a stop at these stations causing hardship to passengers from the region. Hence, Kaavalkinaru, Melapalayam and Panagudi stations should be made a stop for trains, he said. Nanguneri, a connecting point for 64 villages with 2.25 lakh population, should be a stop for Kanniyakumari–Rameswaram and Madurai–Punalur Express. It would help devotees visiting Vaanamaamalai Perumal Temple, one among the 108 Sri Vaishnava 'Divyadesams', the MP said. The Kanniyakumari–Howrah, Nagercoil–Chennai Egmore Weekly, Punalur–Madurai, Thirukkural Super Fast, Nagercoil Junction–MGR Chennai Central Weekly Express should have a stop at Valliyoor, another major town in this section, he said. Mr. Bruce said the railway officials concerned should be instructed to improve passenger amenities in Melapalayam, Nanguneri, Valliyoor, and Kaavalkinaru stations as hundreds of passengers used them daily.

No-custody relief for 6 convicts
Kolkata: Six convicts caught dealing in essential commodities , like rice and oil, without a licence in the 1980s and 1990s were released on probation by the Calcutta High Court . The court determined that keeping them in custody to serve their sentences, ranging from three months to two years, would be of no help. Justice Ananya Bandopadhyay, on April 21, disposed of six different cases pertaining to convicts who were arrested for not being able to produce a licence for dealing with essential commodities in cases 30-40 years ago. The convicts were released on probation under section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act , 1958, which empowers a court to release an offender on probation of good conduct instead of immediately sentencing them. This section allows for release on probation when an offence is not punishable by death or life imprisonment, and the court deems it expedient to release them on probation, considering the circumstances of the case. Those released on probation include Dilip Kumar Jana, a Midnapore resident who was sentenced to one year of simple imprisonment and fined Rs 500 in 1989; Anil Kumar Mondal, who was convicted in 1998 and sentenced for three months and fined Rs 1,000; Biva Das, who was convicted and sentenced to two years of imprisonment in a 1988 case; Sambhu Show, who was sentenced to three months of imprisonment by a Special Court under the Essential Commodities Act, Howrah, in 1990; Sunil Barman, who was sentenced by Cooch Behar court for three months with a fine of Rs 300 in 1995; Gopal Mondal, who was sentenced for a year in 1985.
