The proposal of the organisation, the J&K Peace Forum, figures in a representation made by the Jammu and Kashmir Council for Human Rights (JKCHR), which enjoys consultative status with the UN’s Economic and Social Council, at the ongoing 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council. The JKCHR, however, expressed concern over the “government-proposed exclusive Pandit colonies” or “securitised settlements”, saying such schemes reduce the displaced minority to a permanent security-dependent enclave and a politically instrumental demographic tool. Mahaldar said: “We have been advocating that we will return to our villages and localities, and not to the ghettos. Youth for Panun Kashmir chairman Rahul Kaul said the Pandits did not leave Kashmir voluntarily. To now lecture the victims about reintegration without acknowledging the genocide is intellectually dishonest and morally repugnant.”

Nothing could ever happen here, right?” I look at my husband for reassurance on an evening walk, just a couple of minutes before the first missiles are intercepted in Dubai on the last day of February. I break into a run, asking my husband to call our teenage daughter and wait for them in case they rush downstairs. My husband texts to say they are downstairs, the older one shepherding the younger to safety. I head back down the elevator, and it stops at every floor, full of people trying to evacuate. They are respectful of each other, bound not by a common language or nationality but an implicit trust in their host country.

The American public will see oil and gas prices drop rapidly, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday, once the objectives of the joint Israeli-U.S. air war against Iran are fully achieved. "Rest assured, to the American people, the recent increase in oil and gas prices is temporary, and this operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term," Leavitt told reporters. ADVERTISEMENTOil prices on Monday surged to more than $119 a barrel - their highest since June 2022 - as supply cuts by Saudi Arabia and other producers stoked fears of major disruptions to global supplies. Leavitt added that Trump and his energy team were closely watching the markets, speaking with industry leaders, and that the U.S. military was drawing up additional options in line with the president's directive to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. The deliberations reflect White House worries that the surge in oil prices - ‌following more than a week of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran - will hurt U.S. businesses and consumers ahead of the November midterm elections, when Trump's fellow Republicans hope to retain control of Congress.

Where shipment routes change, or vessels are diverted to alternate ports, exporters may need amendments in shipping documents and related banking instruments such as LCs, he said. At the same time, exporters may lose the benefit under the Interest Equalisation Scheme, which provides a 2.75 per cent interest subvention for eligible exporters. “The combined impact could raise the effective cost of export credit by about 5.75 per cent to 6.75 per cent, imposing a significant financial burden on exporters already affected by logistics disruptions. Exporters who rely on Export Credit of banks may face extended credit cycles because payment is linked to document acceptance or cargo arrival. “As a result, working capital remains locked for a longer duration, increasing the need for added finance and financing costs.

Hezbollah, which began firing on Israel after the start of the war, launched missiles into Israel. He said the last 24 hours had seen the fewest Iranian missiles fired in the war. Iran has effectively stopped tankers from using the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 per cent of the world's oil is carried.

Australia will deploy a military surveillance aircraft to the ⁠Middle East and send missiles to the United Arab Emirates, but will not put troops ‌on the ground in Iran, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday (March 10, 2026).

According to the order, issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), segments that directly impact millions of common consumers—piped natural gas (PNG) for households, compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) production—will have precedence over other natural gas-consuming sectors. Natural gas supplies to refineries has been cut to 65% of their average consumption of the past six months. Public sector gas major GAIL will be managing the supplies of natural gas for the purpose of this order. LPG supplies to households are being prioritised over commercial consumers to ensure no shortage of cooking gas in homes; India has over 33 crore domestic LPG consumers. Sources added that no domestic LPG distributorship is dry in the country, with LPG disbursement levels at 60 lakh cylinders a day, unchanged from the pre-conflict days.

In December, the President’s office informed Raj Bhavan that the President had declined assent to the Bill passed by the Assembly in June 2022. “The Bill passed by the Assembly required the governor’s assent to become an Act. By not consenting to the Bill, the President has questioned the authority of the legislative assembly. The tussle over the role of the governor in state universities has been ongoing for several years. In July 2023, the Bengal government moved the Supreme Court challenging the governor’s decision to appoint authorised vice-chancellors in state universities, allegedly without consulting the education department.

India’s current natural gas supply crunch is likely to be short-lived as the prevailing higher prices right now make imports from distant sources such as Norway and the U.S. economically viable, according to government sources. However, such shipments typically take longer to arrive, meaning the country could face a shortage in the interim, they said. Requesting anonymity, an official said India’s LPG output has increased by 10% after the government decided to prioritise supplies to households over industry users. Shipping industry estimates suggest it takes about two months for vessels to travel to the U.S. or Norway and return to India with gas cargo. “There will, of course, be a lead time between placing orders and receiving deliveries from those countries,” the official said.

More than 60.06 lakh voters were marked “under adjudication” in the post-SIR electoral rolls. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court said 10.16 lakh of these cases had been decided. Why would my vote be any less important than someone on the electoral rolls?” he said. “Even after the disposal of 10 lakh cases, nearly 50 lakh remain to be adjudicated,” he said. In the future, our next generations too could be excluded from the electoral rolls.”
