He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.

Ce n’est pas le mois le plus lucratif pour les entreprises mais certaines savent tirer leur épingle du jeu...

Chennai airport faced high alert Saturday following a mail claiming terror suspects linked to the Pahalgam massacre were aboard a SriLankan Airlines flight to Colombo. Though the flight had already departed, authorities alerted Sri Lankan security forces, who thoroughly searched the aircraft upon arrival. The alert was later declared a hoax, with no suspicious passengers found.
Intelligence chatter before the Pahalgam massacre indicated terror groups planned to target tourist spots in J&K, especially hotels near Srinagar. Despite generic warnings about potential attacks on tourists, laborers, and pilgrims in various areas, Baisaran lacked specific mention.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has sent back the J&K transaction of business rules (TBR) proposed by the Omar Abdullah government, seeking clarification on procedural adherence. The LG's office found the TBR, drafted by a committee led by Rohinton Nariman, to be conflicting with the J&K Reorganisation Act, particularly regarding the authority over postings and transfers of IAS officers.
