Thoothukudi may get $10 billion LATAM investment amid growing trade ties
CHENNAI: The port city of Thoothukudi is likely to attract a potential $10 billion investment from a Latin American country in the defence and security sector, amid growing trade ties between India and the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. The investment is under negotiation and may be formalised through a memorandum of understanding by the end of the year, according to Rajkumar Sharma, President of the Indo Latin American Chamber of Commerce (ILACC). He declined to name the investing country or confirm whether the project is linked to the upcoming Kulasekharapatnam spaceport being developed near Thoothukudi. 'This is for national safety and security. I am not authorised to disclose further details,' Sharma said on the sidelines of the launch of ILACC's South India Chapter in Chennai. He noted that bilateral trade between India and Latin America has grown from $2 billion in 2000 to $18 billion today. Lithium and rare earth imports through South Indian ports are emerging as a priority, aligned with India's energy security goals. The announcement coincides with a broader strategic push to position South India as a hub for LAC investments in sectors such as defence, infrastructure, logistics, ports, and renewable energy. Sharma said southern states have already attracted more than $40 million in investments from the region, with Tamil Nadu receiving the largest share. The initiative was launched during Horizon 2025, a business conclave hosted by ILACC to mark the inauguration of its South India chapter. The event brought together diplomats, trade envoys, and business leaders from countries including Peru, Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, Argentina, and El Salvador.

BMC's spl care waste collection yet to take off in some wards
Mumbai: While a large number of housing societies and other establishments have registered for the Domestic Sanitary Waste and Special Care Waste Service, housing societies in some wards have complained that the BMC is yet to offer proper sanitary waste collection services in their areas. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now More than four wards, which have registered societies and establishments, are facing problems in offering proper collection services. However, the civic body attributed this to vehicle shortages and logistic issues at the ward level, which they said would be resolved soon. "An office bearer of our society in the M-East ward approached the local ward office twice in the last two months to enquire about the special collection service. However, ward officials said they are yet to start the services and would inform the society once it starts," said a member of a housing society in Govandi. A senior civic official said, "The service is registration-based as of now. A few BMC wards are facing vehicle shortages and other logistic issues, which are currently being resolved." "The BMC should send a circular to the housing societies about the service. People should be made aware of what kind of waste falls into these categories," said Rajkumar Sharma from Chembur-based advanced locality management and networking action committee (ALMANAC). Dhaval Shah, director of Andheri Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens' Association, said, "The civic body could have called a meeting of all ALMs and area residents' associations in various wards and informed them about the initiative. All we know about the initiative is through newspapers." The BMC started a dedicated domestic sanitary and special care waste collection and management service on April 22, and as of June 30, the civic body collected 61.5 tonnes of domestic sanitary and special care waste. As many as 1,919 establishments, including 1,140 housing societies, 677 beauty parlours, 27 hostels, and 75 educational institutions, registered for the collection service as of July 1. Currently, an average of 1.7 tonnes of such waste is collected daily and transported to six plasma incineration facilities within BMC jurisdiction.

New Delhi, [India] June 4 (ANI): Rajkumar Sharma, childhood coach of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Virat Kohli, reflected on the long-awaited victory of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL final, and told that the win brought immense joy, as Kohli had consistently been the backbone of RCB since the IPL's inception, and the whole country celebrated Bengaluru win with him. Finally, after 18 years, it is party time for RCB as a brilliant spell from Krunal Pandya and solid pace bowling from the trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal brought them their first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) title with a six-run win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. 'The whole country, not only RCB fans, wanted Virat should win this trophy. He (Virat Kohli) was very emotional, happy and excited because it was long-awaited and he was waiting for this moment for a very long time. He has been the most consistent batsman if you start from 2008; hardly any season would have been a failure for him. So, he has been a consistent player, he has been the backbone of RCB since the inception of will celebrate in a big way,' Rajkumar Sharma told ANI. Shashank Singh's brilliance (61* in 30 balls, with three fours and six sixes) proved inadequate for PBKS as the flush of shots came too late for the team. Shashank hit three sixes in the final over, not giving up the fight till the last. PBKS won the toss and elected to bowl first. Arshdeep Singh (3/40) and Kyle Jamieson (3/48) applied timely breaks with the ball, while Yuzi Chahal (1/37) also prevented batters from attacking. While Virat (43 in 35 balls, with three fours) tried to keep the innings together, skipper Rajat Patidar (26 in 16 balls, with a four and two sixes), Jitesh Sharma (24 in 10 balls, with two fours and two sixes) and Liam Livingstone (25 in 15 balls, with two fours) upped the attack enough to help RCB post 190/9 in 20 overs. In the run-chase, PBKS started well with Priyansh Arya (24 in 19 balls, with four boundaries) and Prabhsimran (26 in 22 balls, with two sixes) stitching a 43-run stand. Josh Inglis (39 in 23 balls, with a four and four sixes) and Shashank Singh (61* in 30 balls, three wins and six sixes) tried their level best to keep up with the rising run rate, but Krunal Panddya (2/17), Yash Dayal (1/18) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38) put a fine show with the ball to restrict PBKS to 184/7, despite a sensational 22 runs smashed by Shashank in the final over while needing 29.
