Armed police came out in large numbers across Delhi. Nearly 10 metro stations in Delhi were shut down for six hours on Saturday Many . protesters said it was to create a false narrative of Khalistanis on the prowl in the national capital to create another spurt of violence at the Red . Fort and other parts on the R-Day Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait said that they have given the Modi-government time till October 2 to repeal the controversial farm laws. “After this, we will do further planning. We won’t hold discussions with the government under pressure,” Tikait said. Fear was writ large on the people coming out of their homes to unusual security blanket covers. Fortunately, there was no violence in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabadh in the NCR. Traffic resumed late in the afternoon on the highways to Haryana and Uttar Pradesh after the 3-hour "Chakka Jam". The Police justified the mas, sive security saying it does not want to take any chance. All 125 entry points to Delhi were cordoned off. The Home Ministry also ordered the suspension of Internet at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur border protest sites from Friday midnight to Saturday midnight. The Haryana government shut down the Internet in the nearby towns on the borders till 5 pm. There were some clashes at the Singhu border, but the reporters could not reach the site because of the multi-layered barricades. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an um- # # "& " !" !

No further talks until all those arrested are released, Tikait said, declaring that the farmers won't return home until the three contentious farm laws are repealed. Nearly 50 protesters were detained at Shaheedi Park in the national capital. The Congress and Left parties too held protests in some states in support of the 'chakka jam' called by the agitating farmer unions.

Didi looted Bengal’s ‘Ma, Mati & Manush’ for 10 years: Nadda BJP national president JP Nadda on Saturday flagged off the saffron camp’s first ‘Rath Yatra’ from Nabadwip. Claiming that the ruling Trinamool Congress government looted the ‘Ma Mati and Manush’, Nadda said that if voted to power, the BJP will first implement ‘Ayushman Bharat’ in West Bengal. Addressing a rally at Nabadwip after the first Rath started, the BJP chief alleged that despite swearing in the name of the motherland, the TMC supremo didn’t do anything for the benefit of the people. “The people of West Bengal are desperate to get another change as the ruling Trinamool Congress government didn’t do anything for the people and just kept on giving false hopes. In the last 10 years, The Mamata government just looted ‘Ma’, ‘Mati’ was disrespected and ‘Manush’ weren’t protected, said Nadda at the Rath Yatra, which the BJP is dubbing as ‘Parivartan Yatra’. Nadda, who was seen paying darshan to Lord Gouranga before flagging off the yatra, said that the BJP’s Parivartan Yatra signifies the ‘parivartan in the governance and status of the people in Bengal’. Notably, the saffron camp has planned five such ‘Parivartan Yatras’ across the state crossing all the assembly constituencies of the state and will culminate in Kolkata in mid-March where PM Modi is likely to address a rally in Brigade Parade Ground. Biden admin delays Trump’s H-1B policy The Biden administration has announced that it is delaying the H-1B policy of the previous Trump administration on allocation of the popular foreign work visas by continuing with the lottery system until December 31, 2021, to give the immigration agency more time to develop, test and implement the modifications to the registration system. On January 7, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced to do away with the traditional lottery system in deciding the successful applicants for the H-1B visas. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical ex- ! !

He said there are three categories of countries which are keen to get the vaccine from India- poor, price sensitive nations and other countries which directly deal with pharmaceutical companies that make the antidote.

But what it has done is today it has put India on the map of the world," Jaishankar told reporters in a press conference.

DRI seizes Rs 20L worth foreign-made cigarettes The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Bhopal has seized more than one lakh sticks of smuggled foreign origin cigarettes worth Rs 20 lakh here on Saturday . According to the DRI, its sleuths received information that huge quantity of smuggled foreign-origin cigarettes have been kept in some godowns in the state capital. Acting on the tip-off, the DRI sleuths searched various premises in Bhopal. During their searches, they found more than one lakh foreign-origin cigarette sticks of various brands like Djarum Black, Esse, Pine, Mond, Gudang Garam, etc. The worth of seized cigarettes is Rs 20 lakh. The cigarettes were illegally smuggled into India and the packs do not carry the cancer awareness images and pictorial warnings as mandated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The goods were seized under the Customs Act 1962 read with Cigarettes and other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003, as amended, and Cigarettes and other Tobacco Products (Packaging and Labelling) Amendment Rules, 2020. These cigarettes were smuggled into the country and reached Bhopal via New Delhi. These smuggled cigarettes are popular among youths and are sold by local pan shops to trust. ed customers only Smuggling of cigarettes is a serious offence as not only the govt loses huge revenue, taxes being more than 100% on these goods, but also smuggled cigarettes do not carry mandatory statutory warning on the packets, thereby defeating the public awareness statutory requirements as per the law.

According to the latest Sensor Tower data, Signal came third in the overall downloads worldwide for January, leaving Facebook and WhatsApp behind.TikTok emerged as the second most installed non-gaming app worldwide last month with close to 62 million installs, Sensor Tower said.
