‘Pay Rs 1.25 lakh to Doon man for car repairs'
Dehradun: The state consumer commission has directed National Insurance Co Ltd (NICL) to compensate Rs 1.25 lakh to a Dehradun-based resident, Sunil Thapa, whose car was damaged in an accident in 2015. The commission acknowledged that repairs were carried out by an authorised dealer, validating the authenticity of the repair costs. In his complaint, Thapa said that after the accident on Feb 11, 2015, he promptly informed the insurer, which then appointed a surveyor. Following the surveyor's inspection, repairs were authorised at an approved garage. The total repair cost came to Rs 2,12,912. After making the payment, Thapa submitted the invoice and supporting documents to the insurer for reimbursement. However, NICL informed Thapa that his claim would be settled for Rs 92,000. Dissatisfied with the amount, he approached the district consumer commission in Dehradun, which directed the insurer to pay Rs 1.75 lakh. Upon reviewing the evidence, the state commission found legal and procedural deficiencies in the surveyor's report, observing that the surveyor had failed to properly assess the damage. Although NICL challenged the decision before the state commission, the latter largely upheld the district commission's order, with minor modifications, and directed NICL to pay Rs 1.25 lakh along with Rs 10,000 as litigation expenses on July 18.

Pakistan Terror Groups Lashkar, Jaish May Use Nepal Route To Target India, Warns Nepalese Official
Last Updated: Speakers at the seminar noted that terror attacks in India often have spillover effects on Nepal, undermining regional peace and stability Pakistan-based terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) pose serious risks to India and could use Nepal as a transit route, warned Sunil Bahadur Thapa, Advisor to the President of Nepal. Thapa made the remarks during a high-level seminar organised by the Nepal Institute for International Cooperation and Engagement (NIICE) in Kathmandu on July 9. The event focused on addressing terrorism threats in South Asia and saw participation from key regional experts and policymakers. Speakers at the seminar noted that terror attacks in India often have spillover effects on Nepal, undermining regional peace and stability. They pointed to Pakistan's support for terrorism as a major hurdle to the effectiveness of SAARC and broader regional integration. The seminar urged stronger counter-terrorism cooperation, including stricter action against money laundering, enhanced intelligence sharing, and joint patrolling of borders with India. It also called on regional actors to avoid applying double standards while tackling terrorism. India's recent Operation Sindoor, in which the Indian armed forces struck nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, was cited as a forceful and effective response to cross-border threats. At the same time, participants were reminded that Nepal remains vulnerable due to incidents like the IC-814 hijacking and the LeT-led Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians, including one Nepali national. Concluding the discussion, participants stressed the urgent need for a dedicated regional mechanism to combat terrorism in a unified and effective manner. India and Nepal share a 1,751 km-long open border, which operates with minimal security checks. This porous boundary makes it easier for terrorists to infiltrate India, often using forged Nepalese documents to conceal their identities. Over the years, several operatives from Pakistan-based outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed have been arrested while attempting to enter India through Nepal. A notable example is the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC-814. The aircraft, which was en route from Kathmandu to New Delhi, was hijacked after the perpetrators boarded with weapons– exposing serious lapses in security at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. Lashkar, Jaish Terror Groups Headquarters and training facilities of the LeT and JeM were targeted during India's precision strikes under Operation Sindoor on May 7 in Pakistan and PoK. These two terror groups have carried out several attacks in India, including the Parliament attack in 2001, the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the 2016 Pathankot Air Base Attack and the 2019 Pulwama terror attack. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the LeT, had claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack, where terrorists shot down 26 tourists in the picturesque resort town in Jammu and Kashmir. view comments First Published: July 11, 2025, 13:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
