Around 800 acres of land in Mumbai's Aarey have been declared a reserve forest, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said Sunday, adding that the construction of the controversial car shed for a Metrorail project in the area would be shifted to Kanjurmag.

"This uncertainty over the car shed is over now. Biodiversity in Aarey needs to be to protected. There is an 800-acre jungle in an urban set-up... Mumbai has natural forest cover," he said, adding that the building already constructed in Aarey would be used for some other public purpose.

Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray, who campaigned to save the trees, last month said the protesters had fought for the future of the planet and that the rights of Adivasi communities that call Aarey home would be protected.

Trump's physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, said in his Thursday statement that Saturday would be day 10 since Trump's diagnosis and based on unspecified tests that the team was conducting, "I fully anticipate the President's safe return to public engagements at that time."

Protesting against corporates over the contentious farm laws, farmers launched 'SIM Satyagrah' -- breaking or destroying Reliance Jio mobile SIM cards -- on Thursday.
⬇️⬇️
On Wednesday, farmers had burned the Jio SIM cards while protesting in Amritsar.
In a social media campaign against Reliance Jio mobile SIM cards, even some Punjabi singers were seen destroying Reliance Jio mobile SIM cards in protest against the "agri-marketing law", the Times of India reported on Thursday.

03/10/2020

The Centre has told the Supreme Court that it was ready to waive compound interest on the repayment of loans up to Rs 2 crore during the moratorium period declared amid the coronavirus pandemic, Live Law reported on Saturday. The case will be taken up again on Monday.
⬇️⬇️
The interest waiver will apply for loans taken by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, for education, housing, consumer goods and auto loans, personal loans, and for credit card dues. For the categories specified by the government, the waiver on interest will be irrespective of whether the borrower has availed of the moratorium.
⬇️⬇️
The Centre submitted that it had decided to continue the “tradition of hand holding the small borrowers” and therefore, it has waived interest for the said period for the most “vulnerable category of borrowers”.
“In other words, any individual/entity whose loan amount is more than R. 2 crore will not be eligible for waiver of the compounding of interest, which shall be conned to only the above referred categories of borrowers,” the government has said in an affidavit submitted on Friday, adding that it would seek Parliament’s permission for grants to enable the move.
⬇️⬇️
“Under pandemic conditions, the only solution is for the government to bear the burden of waiving of interest,” the Centre said, according to NDTV. The government’s decision marks a shift from its earlier stance that any kind of interest waiver would not be possible as it would adversely affect banks.
