A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, refuting rape charges due to lack of evidence, highlighting legal challenges in proving such cases.

Thane Man Sentenced for Kidnapping Minor

In a notable judgment, a Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, dismissing rape charges over lack of evidence, underscoring challenges in proving such cases.

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor but acquitted him of rape due to lack of evidence. The case reveals the legal intricacies of proving sexual assault against minors.

A court in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Thane district has convicted a 47-year-old man for kidnapping a minor girl and sentenced him to 7 years in jail.
Additional Sessions Judge (Kalyan) P R Ashturkar, however, dropped rape charges pressed against Deepak, alias Ganesh Bhanudas Bhuktar, citing lack of evidence.
A copy of the order passed on April 8 was made available on Friday.
Ambernath resident Bhuktar was booked in March 2018 after being accused of kidnapping the 13-year-old girl and taking her to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, then Aurangabad.
Judge Ashturkar held that the minor&rsquo;s lack of consent or resistance was irrelevant in a kidnapping case. The court also said that Bhuktar had secretly given her a phone, which was &ldquo;indicative of malicious intent&rdquo;.
The kidnapping charge has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, the court held.
However, the court found the rape allegations lacked specific and clear evidence. It said the girl and her mother failed to provide any specific details regarding the alleged sexual assault, including date, time, or place.
Furthermore, the medical evidence did not support forceful sexual assault, the court said, acquitting Bhuktar of rape charges under the Indian Penal Code (IP) and Protection of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The court then convicted Bhuktar of kidnapping and sentenced him to seven years in jail and imposed a fine of Rs 3,000 on him.
Additional Public Prosecutor Sachin Kulkarni said six prosecution witnesses, including the teenager and her mother, were examined during the trial.

Sachin Pilot criticizes Nitish Kumar's government for failing to curb unemployment and labor migration in Bihar, highlighting issues with transparency in the recruitment process.

Pilot Criticizes Bihar's Job and Migration Issues

Sachin Pilot lashes out at Nitish Kumar's handling of Bihar's unemployment and labor migration issues, while Congress commits to youth support.

Sachin Pilot criticizes Nitish Kumar's government for failing to address job issues and labor migration in Bihar.

Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Friday slammed the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government for allegedly failing to curb migration of labourers and tackling rising unemployment in the state.
Pilot, the former deputy CM of Rajasthan, told reporters, "The Nitish Kumar-led government has miserably failed to stop the migration of labourers from Bihar to other parts of the country. It has also failed to provide jobs to the youth. Kumar, who has been Chief Minister for several years, must take responsibility for the growing unemployment in the state." Pilot further alleged that the recruitment process in Bihar lacks transparency.
"There are hardly any examinations that are conducted fairly and without controversy. This government is unable to provide jobs to the youth. The NDA government in the state is anti-poor and anti-youth," he said.
"Congress is the only party that works for the uplift and betterment of the socially marginalised and economically weaker sections. We are equally concerned about providing employment to the youth in Bihar and across the country," he added.
He expressed confidence that voters would hold the NDA government accountable in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for later this year.
Later, Pilot, along with other party leaders, joined the &lsquo;Palayan Roko, Naukri Do&rsquo; (Stop Migration, Provide Jobs) yatra, led by NSUI national in-charge Kanhaiya Kumar, in Patna.
A Congress delegation, including Pilot and Kanhaiya Kumar, is likely to meet Nitish Kumar later in the day to submit a memorandum outlining their demands.
The padyatra, which has passed through multiple districts over the past 26 days, is set to culminate in the state capital on Friday evening.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Kashmir's Hurriyat leader, was placed under house arrest, barred from his Friday sermon at Jamia Masjid. His statement emphasized religious rights infringement and opposition to the Waqf Amendment Act by local religious groups.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Denied Jamia Masjid Sermon

Kashmir's chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, announces house arrest, barring him from Jamia Masjid sermons. This highlights ongoing tensions and religious rights issues, further amplified by opposition to the Waqf Amendment Act by local religious groups.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Kashmir's chief cleric and Hurriyat leader, was placed under house arrest, preventing his Friday sermon. He condemned the infringement on his religious rights and shared a resolution against the Waqf Amendment Act.

Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday said he was put under house arrest and not allowed to offer the congregational prayers at the Jamia Masjid here.
Mirwaiz, who is Kashmir's chief cleric, delivers a sermon at the historic mosque in the Nowhatta locality of the city on Fridays, and was scheduled to do so today as well.
But in a post on X, he said, "Yet again, this Friday put under house arrest and barred from offering prayers at Jama Masjid. It is is both heartbreaking and outrageous that authorities continue to trample on my basic religious rights at their will." The Mirwaiz, who lives in the city's Nigeen area, also posted a copy of a resolution formulated by the Mutahida Majlis Ulema (MMU) -- an amalgam of several religious bodies -- against the Waqf Amendment Act.
"Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulama Jammu &amp; Kashmir, expresses its concern regarding several provisions of the new law, which are being widely viewed by the Muslim community as affecting the established and religious character of the Waqf institution in India," the resolution reads.
The resolution was to be read out in mosques, shrines, and Imambaras across J-K during Friday prayers.
The resolution said the new legislation introduces significant changes in the management and supervision of Waqf properties, and many feel that it may diminish the role and authority of the Muslim community in overseeing its religious endowments, which have traditionally been managed in accordance with Islamic principles.
The resolution was formulated by the MMU after its meeting on the issue was not allowed on Wednesday.
The MMU said the "reduction in the powers" of Muslim-led Waqf Boards, and the greater role now assigned to government authorities and non-Muslim officials, has led to apprehensions that the core religious and charitable purpose of Waqf may not be fully understood or upheld.
"The provision allowing non-Muslims to be appointed to the Central and State Waqf Boards, and the removal of the earlier condition that the CEO of a Waqf Board must be a Muslim, has been viewed by the community as a deviation from the spiritual and religious ethos of Waqf management," it said.
The religious amalgam said the transfer of key decision-making powers to district collectors, including the authority to determine whether a property is Waqf or not, may lead to unilateral decisions and a weakening of the role of Waqf Boards.
"This is of particular concern in the context of ongoing disputes involving Waqf properties in various regions," it added.
The MMU said the removal of the concept of 'Waqf by long-standing use', which protected mosques, graveyards, and other Islamic sites used for generations without formal documentation, may result in the loss of such properties simply due to a lack of official records.
"Changes in the functioning of Waqf Tribunals, allowing for appeals in High Courts, may lead to prolonged legal proceedings and delays in the resolution of matters affecting religious endowments," it said.
The MMU said it reaffirms its full support to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and will stand by the Board in whatever course of action it deems appropriate to address the issues arising from the new law.
It also called upon the Muslim community to remain united, aware, and engaged, and to support all peaceful and lawful efforts for the protection and proper functioning of the religious institutions and endowments.

PM Modi inaugurated Rs 3,880 crore projects in Varanasi, highlighting growth in healthcare, aspirations for 2036 Olympics, and balancing heritage with modernity, marking a deep commitment to the region's progress.

PM Modi's Rs 3,880 crore boost for Varanasi

In Varanasi, PM Modi launched multiple development projects worth Rs 3,880 crore, emphasizing healthcare growth, the vision for 2036 Olympics, and the harmonious blend of tradition with modern advancements.

PM Modi inaugurated projects in Varanasi, valued at Rs 3,880 crore, focusing on growth and development. He emphasized Varanasi's healthcare evolution, future Olympic aspirations, and the balance of preserving heritage with modern advances.

In a swipe at opposition parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said those hankering for power focus solely on promoting their own families, while his government works on the theme of inclusive development.
Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone of 44 projects worth Rs 3,880 crore here, he said, "Our guiding mantra in serving the nation has always been 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'. With this spirit, we continue to move forward for the betterment of every citizen".
He said in contrast, those who are power hungry play political games day and night, driven not by national interest but by a single-minded focus on family-based support and family-centric development.
"Those who play games day and night only to grab power, their principle is 'parivar ka saath, parivar ka vikas' (family support, family development)," the prime minister said in his Parliamentary constituency.
Modi, who began his speech by greeting the people in Bhojpuri, also paid tribute to Dalit reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule on his birth anniversary, recognising his contributions to social equality and women's empowerment.
"Today, we are carrying forward their ideas with new energy," he said while reiterating his government's focus to all round development.
Elaborating on his constituency's makeover over the last decade, he said, "Earlier, Purvanchal lacked health facilities but today Kashi is becoming the region's health capital." "About 10-11 years ago, there were problems related to availing medical treatment in the region. Today, my Kashi is becoming the health capital too." "Major hospitals from Delhi and Mumbai have now not only become accessible for people in the region, but have also ensured dignity for patients," he said referring to the opening of branches of several prominent hospitals here.
Highlighting the city's transformative journey over the past decade, he stated, "In the last 10 years, the development of Banaras has gained a new momentum. Kashi has always preserved its heritage and has taken steps towards a bright future. Today, Kashi is not just ancient, but my Kashi is also progressive." Speaking on the region's contribution to development, PM Modi remarked, "Today Kashi is pulling the chariot of development of Purvanchal." "Today, India is moving ahead with both development and heritage together and our Kashi is becoming the best model for this," he said, adding, "The soul of India resides in its diversity and Kashi is its most beautiful picture".
He also spoke about initiatives like the Kashi Tamil Sangamam that help strengthen national unity.
On the economic front, PM Modi underlined Uttar Pradesh's changing trajectory. "Uttar Pradesh is no longer just a land of possibilities, now it is capable and the land of resolution," he said, noting how "Made in India" products are gaining global recognition.
"Today, UP is number one in GI tagging in the whole country. That means our culture, our things, our skills are rapidly getting international recognition," he said observing that dozens of products from Varanasi and its surrounding districts have received GI tags, including the city's famous tabla and shehnai, wall paintings and sweets like red peda and barfi.
Modi also said that his government is working to ensure that the 2036 Olympics take place in India.
Addressing the youth, the PM said, "There is also a lot of emphasis on the fact that the youth of Kashi should get continuous opportunities to progress in India and now we are working towards ensuring that the Olympics are held in India in 2036." Urging the youth of Varanasi to work hard so that they "win medals" in the 2036 Olympics, PM Modi spoke about how the sports infrastructure in his constituency was being developed with an eye on the future.
"Today, new stadiums are being built in Banaras, new facilities are being created for the youth, a new sports complex has opened, hundreds of players from Varanasi are getting trained there," he said.
He concluded with a call to preserve the ancient soul of Kashi while advancing into the future.
"One who saves (sahejta) Kashi also saves the soul of India. We have to keep making Kashi strong. We have to keep Kashi beautiful and ensure that it becomes modern while preserving its ancient soul," he said.
Among the projects inaugurated by Modi were schemes focused on rural development, including 130 drinking water projects, 100 new anganwadi centres, 356 libraries, a polytechnic college in Pindra, and a government degree college, Varanasi Divisional Commissioner Kaushal Raj Sharma said.
The prime minister also inaugurated a transit hostel at the police lines and police barracks in Ramnagar and four rural roads.
Earlier on his arrival, the prime minister received a detailed briefing on the alleged gang-rape of a young woman in his constituency and asked officials to take the strictest possible action against those involved, according to a state government statement.
The prime minister was briefed by the police commissioner, divisional commissioner and district magistrate on the "recent criminal rape incident in the city", the statement said.
"He instructed them to take the strictest possible action against the culprits and to implement appropriate measures to prevent such incidents in the future," it said.
The case involves the alleged gang-rape of a 19-year-old woman by 23 individuals over six days.
This was Modi's 50th visit to Varanasi after becoming prime minister in 2014, according to BJP Metropolitan President of Varanasi Pradeep Agrahari.

Dr. Baljit Kaur advocates for updated scholarship schemes, increased rural development funding, and transparent housing selection at the national forum.

Punjab Appeals for Welfare Reforms at National Shivir

At the Chintan Shivir, Dr. Baljit Kaur urged for updates to scholarship criteria, improved funding for rural infrastructure, and transparent housing selection.

Punjab&rsquo;s Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur calls for updated scholarship schemes, more rural funds, and transparency in housing at the Chintan Shivir.

Punjab Cabinet Minister for Social Justice, Empowerment and Minorities, Dr. Baljit Kaur represented the state at the National Chintan Shivir organized by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, held in Dehradun. Strongly voicing key issues concerning the welfare of Scheduled Castes (SC), Backward Classes, and Minorities, she made a robust case for Punjab's concerns before the Central Government.
Praising the initiative, Dr. Baljit Kaur stated that platforms like these provide states with valuable opportunities to share the challenges and policy-level hurdles encountered while implementing welfare schemes. She affirmed that the Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, is fully dedicated to the inclusive development of marginalized and underprivileged sections of society.&nbsp;
Dr. Baljit Kaur said, &ldquo;Being the state with the highest Scheduled Caste population in the country, it is our moral responsibility to ensure their welfare through focused interventions.&rdquo; She added that both Centrally Sponsored Schemes and State-run initiatives are being effectively implemented in Punjab with significant impact.
Key Issues Raised by Punjab at the Chintan Shivir:
Demand for Reforms in Scholarship Schemes:
Dr. Kaur called for revising the current income ceiling of ₹2.5 lakh for scholarship eligibility, terming it outdated in the present economic context. She urged that raising the income limit would enable more deserving students to avail the benefits. Highlighting delays in central disbursal, she pointed out that funds for the years 2017 to 2020 are still pending, causing hardships for both students and educational institutions. She appealed to the Central Government to release the pending amount at the earliest.
She also demanded an increase in scholarship amounts for students belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Backward Classes (EBC), and De-notified Tribes (DNT), considering their growing educational needs. Dr. Kaur stressed the importance of covering the full course and tuition fee gap to ensure uninterrupted education for underprivileged students.
Demand for Timely Funding under the Adarsh Gram Yojana:
She informed that Punjab had identified 3,293 villages under the Adarsh Gram Yojana due to its large SC population, for which ₹684 crore was sanctioned. However, only ₹101 crore has been released so far. She urged the Central Government to release the remaining funds swiftly to enhance rural infrastructure.
Additionally, she recommended increasing the per-village grant from ₹20 lakh to ₹1 crore to ensure timely and quality development works.
Need for Transparency and Monitoring in Housing Schemes:
Appreciating the benefits of the housing scheme for the SC and economically weaker sections, Dr. Kaur raised concerns regarding a lack of transparency at the panchayat level in beneficiary selection. She demanded that the responsibility for identifying eligible beneficiaries and monitoring the scheme be assigned to the Department of Social Justice to ensure fair and effective implementation.
Punjab&rsquo;s Own Schemes and Unique Initiatives:
Dr. Kaur highlighted various welfare schemes being run by the Punjab Government. Under the "Ashirwad Scheme", a financial assistance of ₹51,000 is provided for the marriage of daughters from SC, BC, and EWS families, limited to two girls per family. This initiative, she said, plays a crucial role in strengthening the socio-economic security of families.
Talking about recent progressive steps, Dr. Kaur mentioned that the Punjab Government has waived loans worth ₹70 crore availed by SC beneficiaries, benefiting over 5,000 individuals and offering them a fresh start in life.
She further shared that Punjab has become the first state in the country to introduce sign language interpretation for live telecast of Assembly proceedings&mdash;an innovative step towards inclusivity for persons with hearing and speech impairments.
Commending the state-led "Project Jeevan Jot" launched in 2024, Dr. Kaur informed that 268 child beggars have been rescued and rehabilitated. Out of these, 19 children are currently placed in government-run homes with access to free education, nutrition, and healthcare, while the remaining have been reunited with their families through Child Welfare Committees.&nbsp;
Concluding the session, Dr. Baljit Kaur said:
&ldquo;This Chintan Shivir has provided us with a pathway toward collaborative progress and shared vision. The Punjab Government remains committed to ensuring that the benefits of welfare schemes reach every underprivileged, marginalized, and needy individual".

Delhi police cracked a murder case using a nose pin as a critical clue. Anil Kumar was arrested after it linked him to his wife's murder, through a jewelry store record, revealing his role in the crime.

Nose Pin Leads to Arrest in Delhi Murder Case

A nose pin assisted Delhi police in arresting Anil Kumar for his wife's murder. The nose pin traced back to Kumar through a jewelry store, combined with family disclosures, unveiled the crime.

Delhi police solved a murder case with a nose pin's help, leading to the arrest of Anil Kumar, the victim's husband. The pin linked to him through a jewelry store, alongside family revelations, strengthened the case.

A nose pin has become a crucial lead for Delhi police in unraveling the case of a woman whose body was discovered in a drain nearly a month ago. The investigation has led to the arrest of Anil Kumar, a businessman and husband of the deceased, whom the police suspect of murdering her and disposing of the body in the drain.
On March 15, a woman's body was discovered wrapped in a bedsheet and weighted with a stone and a cement sack in a Delhi drain. The turning point in the investigation was the identification of the woman, made possible through a distinctive nose pin. This piece of jewelry ultimately unlocked the mystery behind the murder.
The nose pin was traced back to a jewelry store in South Delhi, where records revealed it had been purchased by Anil Kumar, a property dealer residing at a farmhouse in Gurugram. The transaction was billed in his name, bringing him under police scrutiny.
The deceased was identified as Seema Singh, 47 years old. Upon approaching Mr. Kumar, the police were informed that Ms. Singh, his wife of 20 years, had supposedly traveled to Vrindavan without her phone&mdash;a claim that immediately aroused suspicions.
Digging deeper, the police visited Mr. Kumar's office in Dwarka and discovered his mother-in-law's contact information in a diary. When they reached out to Ms. Singh's family, her sister Babita expressed concern, revealing that they had not been in contact with her since March 11. Despite their anxiety, Mr. Kumar had previously assured them that Ms. Singh was in Jaipur and not inclined to speak, persuading the family to delay approaching the authorities.
On April 1, the family was summoned to identify a body, which they confirmed as Ms. Singh's. The following day, her elder son corroborated the identification. The post-mortem report indicated that Ms. Singh had been strangled to death. Adding to the family's suspicions, Babita noted that only Mr. Kumar and Ms. Singh had access to the keys of their Dwarka residence.
With these revelations, the investigation has gathered momentum, cementing the nose pin's role as a pivotal clue in solving this tragic case.

Security forces neutralized a terrorist in Kishtwar. A manhunt is ongoing in Udhampur to capture three militants as security measures enhance across the Jammu region.

Jammu Security: Terrorist Killed, Manhunt On

In Kishtwar, Jammu security forces killed a terrorist, while a manhunt for three militants continues in Udhampur, amidst heightened regional security.

In Kishtwar, Jammu security forces killed a terrorist, while a manhunt for three militants continues in Udhampur, amidst heightened regional security.

One terrorist was killed Friday in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district, while a separate operation to track down a group of three militants is underway in Udhampur district, Army officials said.
The security agencies have expanded the scope of surveillance to the Bhaderwah area of Doda district to keep a track on terrorists potentially moving between different locations in the hilly districts of the Jammu region.
The officials said the encounter in Kishtwar broke out during an intelligence-based search-and-destroy operation launched jointly by the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the Chatru forest area of the district.
During the operation, the forces established contact with the terrorists. "The terrorists were effectively engaged, and a firefight ensued. One terrorist has been neutralized so far," the Army's White Knight Corps, or 16 Corps, said in a post on X.
"Despite hostile terrain and adverse weather, our brave soldiers continue relentless operations," it added.
Special forces braved high-snow areas and treacherous terrains to track down one terrorist, while a few others are still on the move under significant pressure from security forces, the officials quoted above said.
A brief exchange of fire with terrorists occurred in the Naidgam area of Chatru on Wednesday resulting in launch of massive combing operation.
The slain terrorist reportedly was a part of the Saifullah module of Pakistan, but it has not been officially confirmed. This is the module that ambushed an army team in Doda on July 15, 2024, resulting in the death of an officer and a rifleman.
Security forces have intensified surveillance in the high-altitude areas of the Bhaderwah area of Doda district, considering the melting snow in the higher meadows, a major factor contributing to infiltration during summer months.
Supported by helicopters and drones, troops are maintaining a high degree of surveillance in high-altitude areas connecting Kishtwar, Udhampur, and Kathua districts, they said.
There have been five encounters in the past 19 days in the mountainous terrains of Kathua-Udhampur-Kishtwar, in which three terrorists were killed. Four police personnel were also killed, while three other police personnel and a girl sustained injuries.
Search operations resumed Friday in the Jopher-Marta forests in Udhampur district, officials said.

Delhi GGSIPU Celebrates Women's Education

Women lead higher education changes at Delhi's 17th GGSIPU convocation. Over 24,446 degrees granted, highlighting societal shifts and calls for graduates to engage in nation-building.

Delhi's GGSIPU convocation showcases women's rising participation in higher education. 24,446 degrees were awarded, with calls for national contribution and socially responsible graduates, reflecting dynamic societal changes.

Delhi LG V K Saxena on Friday said the growing participation of women in higher education is a reflection of the changing educational and political landscape of the country as he cited the example of Delhi having women as both the chief minister and the leader of opposition (LoP).
Addressing the 17th convocation ceremony of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), Saxena remarked, &ldquo;The time has passed when teachers used to give exams and teach you. Now, time itself will be your teacher. The larger share of women receiving degrees, particularly doctorate degrees, is a sheer indicator of the shifting educational landscape. It is special in the context of Delhi when we have a woman as the chief minister as well as the LoP.&rdquo; A total of 24,446 degrees were conferred at the ceremony, including 3,112 postgraduate, 21,222 undergraduate, 12 MPhil and over 100 PhD degrees.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta urged the students to think beyond personal goals and contribute to nation-building. &ldquo;The development of the country is not just the responsibility of governments but also of its citizens. Each of us should identify a role, big or small, that we can play in the service of the nation,&rdquo; she said.
Gupta also praised Saxena for his leadership during challenging times in the capital. &ldquo;He held Delhi when it was struggling and stood up for the rights of the city. He has worked not only for a good education system, but also for a clean and beautiful Delhi,&rdquo; she said.
Education Minister Ashish Sood emphasised the need for socially responsible youths. &ldquo;Whether you become a doctor, engineer or lawyer, your first duty is to be a responsible citizen. We need a generation that not only questions but also offers solutions,&rdquo; he said.
Vice-Chancellor Mahesh Verma noted the university&rsquo;s progress over the past 25 years. &ldquo;GGSIPU has become more than just an academic institution&mdash;it is now a movement of empowerment and inspiration,&rdquo; he said.
Also present at the ceremony were Delhi Chief Secretary Dharmendra, Higher Education Secretary Nandini Paliwal, and Indian National Science Academy President Ashutosh Sharma.
Established in 1998 by the Government of NCT of Delhi, GGSIPU is the first university of the capital and is recognised under section 12B of the UGC Act.&nbsp;

Bangladesh's transshipment cargo via India saw a 46% growth, now halted by policy changes affecting border trade.

Growth in Bangladesh Transshipment Cargo Halted

A significant growth in Bangladesh's transshipment cargo via India was halted by an Indian policy change, disrupting border trade activities.

Transshipment cargo from Bangladesh via India grew by 46% before a sudden halt in April due to changed Indian policies.

Transshipment cargo from Bangladesh for re-export through India grew by 46 per cent between the 2023-24 and 2024-25 fiscals at the Petrapole Land Port in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, according to official data.
However, no truck from Bangladesh carrying transshipment cargo for third countries entered through the Petrapole border since April 9, after the Indian government revoked the facility granted to the neighbouring country in 2020, an official said.
In the 2023-24 fiscal, 3,473 trucks carrying 4,733 consignments worth Rs 2,357.27 crore entered India from Bangladesh through Petrapole, according to data provided by the Petrapole Clearing Agents' Staff Welfare Association (PCASWA).
In the 2024-25 financial year, 4,861 trucks transported 7,772 consignments worth Rs 3,446.66 crore, reflecting a 36 per cent increase in truck movement and a 46 per cent jump in cargo value over the previous fiscal, it said.
India had allowed transshipment of export cargo from Bangladesh to third countries via Indian land customs stations, and subsequently through Indian ports and airports since June 29, 2020.
However, on April 8 this year, the Indian government revoked the transshipment facility, leading to the Petrapole customs denying clearance for such third country cargo. Following the decision, Benapole port in Bangladesh returned the first set of four trucks carrying transshipment cargo on April 9.
"No trucks from Bangladesh carrying transshipment cargo for third countries have entered the Petrapole border since April 9, and the situation will remain as such until further orders. However, normal direct import-export activity with Bangladesh continues uninterrupted," Petrapole Land Port Manager Kamlesh Saini told PTI.
According to the data of the PCASWA, of the around 50-60 trucks that arrived from Bangladesh before April 9, around 15-20 carried containers with finished garments destined for Western markets such as Europe and the United States. Nearly 400 Indian trucks, on the other hand, entered the neighbouring every day through the Petrapole-Benapole border.
"Primarily, finished branded ready-made garments were entering India for air transport to Europe and the US from Delhi and Mumbai airports. Bangladeshi exporters used air freight for high-value cargo to ensure faster delivery to clients. Traditional sea freight often involves delays due to congestion," PCASWA secretary Kartik Chakraborty said.
On India revoking the transshipment facility, an official of the Clearing Agents Staff Association in Bangladesh's Benapole said, "This is not good news for exporters of Bangladesh garment at a time when the industry is reeling under huge stress due to global demand. It will impact border trade."

Students from Aliah University protested in Kolkata against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, seeking its repeal. BJP plans a campaign to highlight the law's benefits, as J.P. Nadda defends its impact on Muslim welfare.

Kolkata Protest Against Waqf (Amendment) Act

Aliah University students in Kolkata protested the Waqf (Amendment) Act, calling for its repeal. BJP responds with a public awareness campaign, emphasizing the law's benefits for Muslim welfare, led by J.P. Nadda.

Aliah University students in Kolkata protested against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, urging its repeal. The BJP plans a campaign to highlight the act's benefits. J.P. Nadda claims the law aids poor Muslims and reorganizes Waqf property control.

Students of Aliah University in Kolkata on Friday took out a rally protesting the Waqf (Amendment) Act and demanding that the legislation be withdrawn.
The participants in the rally also blocked the seven-point crossing in the Park Circus area here for some time after they went past the barricades put up by the police.
The Aliah University students, who marched from their campus nearby, raised slogans demanding that the law be withdrawn.
"The BJP is talking of 'sabka sath, sabka vikas', but one community is being discriminated against," one of the students participating in the rally alleged.
The BJP has said that it will launch a fortnight-long public awareness campaign, aimed especially at Muslims, from April 20 to publicise the benefits of the Waqf (Amendment) Act and counter the opposition's criticism of it.
BJP office-bearers from across the country attended a workshop in New Delhi on Thursday where party president J P Nadda accused the opposition parties of misleading Muslims about the provisions of the amended law as part of its vote-bank politics.
Nadda said the new law, which came into effect on April 8, would help utilise Waqf properties for the welfare of poor Muslims and women, adding it would free these assets from the control of a small but influential section of people and open them for the minority community's overall benefit.
