पुढील वर्षाच्या पहिल्या दिवसापासून जीएसटी (वस्तू व सेवाकर) विवरणपत्राचे नवे अर्ज अंमलात येतील, अशी माहिती केंद्रीय अर्थसचिव हसमुख अधिया यांनी येथे दिली. जीएसटीच्या अंमलबजावणीला उद्या (एक जुलै) एक वर्ष पूर्ण होत असून त्यानिमित्त आयोजित कार्यक्रमात ते बोलत होते.
जीएसटी परिषदेच्या चार मे रोजी झालेल्या बैठकीत नव्या विवरणपत्रांच्या अर्जांना मंजुरी देण्यात आली आहे. यासाठी आवश्यक असणाऱ्या सॉफ्टवेअरवर काम सुरू असून ऑक्टोबर ते डिसेंबर या कालावधीत त्याची चाचणी घेतली जाईल व एक जानेवारीपासून हे नवे अर्ज अंमलात येतील, असे अधिया म्हणाले.
काही व्यावसायिकांनी मालपुरवठा न करताच खोटी बिले सादर करून इनपुट टॅक्स क्रेडिटपोटी जीएसटीकडून सुमारे दोन हजार कोटी रुपयांची वसुली केल्याचे उघड झाले आहे. यातील खरा आकडा हा याहून अधिक असल्याची शक्यता जीएसटी अधिकाऱ्यांनीच व्यक्त केली आहे. या पार्श्वभूमीवर अधिया म्हणाले की, अशी करचुकवेगिरी व लूट रोखण्यासाठी जीएसटीच्या नव्या यंत्रणेत केवळ बीटूबीची (बिझनेस टू बिझनेस) विक्री देयके विवरणपत्रासोबत अपलोड होतील. बीटूसीसाठी (बिझनेस टू कस्टमर) देयकांगणिक तपशील देण्याची गरज नसेल.
सरकारला जीएसटीतून चांगला महसूल मिळत आहे. मात्र दरमहा एक कोटी रुपयाच्या करसंकलनाचे लक्ष्य आपण अद्याप गाठलेले नाही. त्यामुळे २८ टक्क्यांच्या स्तरांतील काही वस्तू बाद करण्याच्या निर्णयावर तूर्तास विचार करता येणार नाही, असेही अधिया यांनी स्पष्ट केले.
Koradi & Khaparkheda power plants to get coal conveyor belt soon
NAGPUR: Faced with complaints of air pollution and theft on a large scale, Mahagenco has decided to transport coal by conveyor belt from nearby Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) mines.
The pilot project is being implemented for Koradi and Khaparkheda power plants. Work order for it has been issued and bhoomipujan is expected to be held soon.
Anand Deotare, chief engineer (civil), said that five mines close to the two power plants — Kamptee, Indar, Gondegaon, Bhanegaon and Singhoti — would be connected with them by a pipe conveyor belt.
“This would stop air pollution and theft and do away with the need for human resources in coal transport process. It will lead to saving of crores of Rupees for the company,” he told.
The cost of the project is Rs. 422 crores and the total length of the belt is 16.5km. “The belt will be 6 metre above the ground and supported by concrete pillars. It will look like a small Metro,” Deotare said.
Chief engineer (mechanical) Rajesh Patil said that the transport capacity of the belt would be 1,200 tonnes per hour. “The design is being made by the company appointed to execute the project. The specifications of the belt would be known soon,” he added.
Patil further said that while such belts existed in a few other power plants in the country, Mahagenco was the first generation company to link five mines with two power plants. “It is happening on a large scale for the first time,” he added.
The work order was issued last month and the project is to be completed in two years. “However, WCL is yet to provide us land needed for erecting the pillars of the belt. We hope to get it soon,” said Patil.
5 Immunity Boosting Foods To Include In Your Diet : Loving the rains? Well, not that we want to act like a spoilsport, but a word of caution is necessary, especially if you tend to fall ill quite often. With the onset of monsoon, our immunity becomes weak due to the change in the weather, as such making us susceptible to various kinds of infections. With the excess of moisture everywhere, it’s the best time for harmful microorganisms to flourish. So if we are not careful about our health, we can fall prey to common cold and flu, and viral infections.
At times like these, what can help is tending to your diet. A healthy diet that includes immunity boosting foods can shield you against infections. To get you monsoon ready, we list down five superfood that you need to include in your daily diet:
1. Spices like turmeric, black pepper and hing
Indian spices such as turmeric and black pepper are known for their antimicrobial and anti inflammatory properties that help in boosting immunity. The active compound in turmeric is curcumin, which is a powerful antioxidant, whereas black pepper too contains antioxidants and essential vitamins. Hing or asafoetida is known for its carminative, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, sedative and diuretic properties. Sprinkle them in your food to make the most of their health benefits. Eg haldi doodh, pepper tea, soups, masala veggies, etc.
2. Add a punch of garlic
Love garlic naan, garlic bread or garlic prawns? Well, the monsoon is the right time to make the most of your love for garlic as it can help you boost your immunity and fight infection. Studies have shown that garlic is highly effective in killing countless microorganisms that are responsible for various infections, thanks to chemical compounds like allicin that are found in garlic.
3. Cherries and other antioxidant rich fruits
You may have heard it umpteen times before but the fact remains that antioxidants work wonders in keeping you in the best of health. They fight against infections and free radicals that lead to heart problems, cancer and skin ageing. Add antioxidant rich fruits like cherries, gooseberries and blueberries, as well as vitamin C rich fruits like oranges and lemons to your diet.
4. Mushrooms
No wonder mushrooms bloom in the rainy season. It’s nature’s way of giving you a means to protect yourself from infection. Edible mushrooms contain a powerful antioxidant called selenium, which helps boost immunity and prevent damage to cells and tissues. It’s also a great dietary source of vitamin D. Make mushroom soups or stir-fries and enjoy.
5. Nuts
Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, etc. are packed with health benefiting nutrients. Nuts are again a great source of antioxidants, in the form of polyphenols, which can combat oxidative stress by fighting free radicals so they can’t harm your cells. Thus helping your immune system.

राजकुमार हिरानी दिग्दर्शित बहुप्रतिक्षित संजू चित्रपट आज प्रदर्शित झाला. जो दहशतवादीचा ठपका माथ्यावर घेऊन वावरत आहे अशा अभिनेत्याचं आयुष्य एका चित्रपटापेक्षा नक्कीच कमी नाही. त्यामुळे संजय दत्तच्या आयुष्यात नेमकं काय घडलं याची सत्यकथा या चित्रपटातून उतरवण्याचा प्रयत्न हिरानी यांनी केला. संजयच्या आयुष्यावर चित्रपट येतोय म्हटल्यावर चित्रपटात संजयची चांगली बाजू दाखवण्यात आली आहे असा अनेकांचा समज हिरानी यांनी खोडून काढला आहे.
संजय जसा होता, जसा आहे त्याच्या चांगल्या आणि वाईट बाजूंसह मोठ्या पडद्यावर रणबीरनं तो साकारला आहे. म्हणूनच हा चित्रपट प्रेक्षकांच्या थेट हृदयाला हात घालतो.
चित्रटाची सुरूवात होते ती संजय दत्तच्या आत्मकथेनं. आपली गोष्ट जगासमोर आणण्यासाठी संजय दत्त लेखकाच्या शोधात असतो, दहशवाद्याचा ठपका डोक्यावर असलेल्या संजयला आपली खरी गोष्ट सांगण्याचा तोच एकमेव मार्ग दिसतो आणि अशाप्रकारे लेखिकेची भूमिका साकारत असलेल्या अनुष्का शर्माची चित्रपटात एण्ट्री होते आणि सुरू होतो संजू बाबाचा प्रवास.
असं म्हणतात की हा चित्रपट रणबीरनं त्याचं पडतं करिअर सावरण्यासाठी लावलेला एक सट्टाच होता आणि या खेळात रणबीर पूर्णपणे यशस्वीदेखील होतो. चित्रपट संपल्यानंतर दोन व्यक्ती ठसठशीत लक्षात राहतात एक म्हणजे खुद्द रणबीर आणि दुसरा म्हणजे विकी कौशल. संजयच्या जवळच्या मित्राची भूमिका विकीनं साकारली आहे. संजूच्या आयुष्यातील चढ उतार पाहिलेला हा मित्र एका गोष्टीमुळे त्याच्या आय़ुष्यातून कायमचा निघून जातोय याच निखळ मैत्रीची गोष्ट या चित्रपटातून हळूवारपणे उलगडत जाते.
संजूच्या आयुष्यात आलेल्या टीना मुनीमपासून ते मान्यता दत्तपर्यंतच्या अनेक स्त्रिया त्यांच्यासोबत असलेलं संजयचं नातं हेही तितक्याच नाजुकपणे या चित्रपटातून उलगडलं आहे. दिया मिर्झा, सोनम कपूर, करिश्मा तन्ना या तिघींनीही आपापल्या परिनं भूमिकांना न्याय दिला आहे. अमली पदार्थांच्या आहारी गेलेल्या संजय दत्तची यातून बाहेर येणारी धडपड मोठ्या पडद्यावर पाहिली की अंगावर काटाही येतो आणि त्या परिस्थितीचा विचार करायलाही भाग पाडतो. चित्रपटाची गाणी लक्षात राहिली नसली तरी ‘कर हर मैदान फतहे’ हे गाणं ऐकल्यावर अंगावर रोमांच उभे राहतात.
रणबीरच्या आयुष्यातीत त्याचं प्रेरणास्थान आणि त्याच्या मागे खंबीरपणे उभे राहणारे सुनील दत्तही परेश रावल यांनी तितक्याच प्रभावीपणे साकारले आहे. संजयनं दंगलीच्या काळात एके ४७ का बागळली होती यामागचं कारणंही तितकंच ऐकण्यासारखं आहे. मनिषा कोईरालाही नर्गिसच्या भूमिकेत खुलून दिसत आहे. तुरुंगात गेल्यानंतर पूर्णपणे बदललेला संजय दत्त, तुरुंगातलं टॉयलेट लिकेजचं दृश्यं अशी चित्रपटातली अनेक दृश्य थेट मनाला जाऊन भिडतात. म्हणूनच रणबीरनं संजू ला पूर्णपणे न्याय मिळवून दिला असं म्हटलं तर वावगं ठरणार नाही.
विशेष म्हणजे एकाच आयुष्यात अनेक व्यक्तिरेखा जगलेला संजय दत्त उर्फ संजू शेवटपर्यंत प्रेक्षकांना खिळवून ठेवतो, विचार करायला लावतो आणि चित्रपट संपल्यानंतरही लक्षात राहतो. म्हणूनच हा चित्रपट एकदा तरी चित्रपटगृहात जाऊन पाहावाच.

Rishi Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu starrer Mulk teaser release today
The nearly fifty-second teaser of Taapsee Pannu starrer Mulk has just hit the internet. The movie stars Taapsee, Rishi Kapoor, Prateik Babbar, Ashutosh Rana and Rajat Kapoor in pivotal roles. The teaser opens with a shot of Rishi Kapoor’s character shutting the doors of his house to the media, and we hear Taapsee’s voice saying, “Aap deshdrohi hai, ye aarop hai aap pe aur aapke parivaar pe” (You and your family have been accused of betraying the country.)
This is followed by the shots of characters of Rajat Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, and Prateik Babbar. The atmosphere of the promo is decidedly tense, and one presumes that the entire film will follow in the same vein. Towards the end of the video, Taapsee’s character can be seen delivering a few powerful lines on the concept of country and their boundaries and what actually divides two nations. She is seen saying, :”Ek mulk kagaz pe nakshon ke lakeeron se nahi batta, sir. Mulk batta hai rang se, bhasha se, dharam se, zaat se.” (A country doesn’t get divided into fractions if you draw a few lines on a paper, but the country gets divided on the basis of color, language, religion, and caste).
“This is a film which we all have done with our hearts because of the topic it deals with. It’s purely a passion-driven project for each and every member of the cast and crew. The energies on the set were so good and it drove us all to finish the film in record time. It has been an extremely satisfying experience to do Mulk,” Taapsee had earlier said in a statement about Mulk.
Mulk is directed by Anubhav Sinha, who has earlier helmed films like Tum Bin, Dus and Gulaab Gang. Mulk’s filming has been primarily done in Benares and Lucknow. The movie stars Rishi Kapoor, Prateik Babbar, Neena Gupta, Ashutosh Rana, Rajat Kapoor and Manoj Pahwa in significant roles. Mulk will hit the big screen on August 3, 2018.
नागपूर : ‘आपली बस’प्रकल्पाच्या माध्यमातून महापालिका शहर बससेवा चालवीत आहे. यासाठी खासगी आॅपरेटर नियुक्त करण्यात आले असून, सध्या शहरातील विविध मार्गावर ३७५ बसेस धावतात. परंतु गेल्या काही महिन्यांत डिझेलच्या दरात मोठ्या प्रमाणात वाढ झाली आहे. याचा फटका महापालिकेच्या परिवहन विभागाला बसत असल्याने, विभागाने टप्प्यामागे दोन रुपये तिकीट दरवाढीचा निर्णय घेतला आहे. हा प्रस्ताव २ जुलैला होणाऱ्या सर्वसाधारण सभेत मंजुरीसाठी ठेवण्यात आला आहे. हा प्रस्ताव मंजूर झाल्यास शहर बसचे भाडे २० टक्के वाढणार आहे.
सध्या प्रवाशांना २ किलोमीटरसाठी ८ रुपये द्यावे लागत होते. आता, त्यांना १० रुपये द्यावे लागेल. महापालिकेच्या परिवहन समितीच्या २१ मार्चच्या बैठकीत दरवाढीबाबत निर्णय घेण्यात आला होता. महापालिका शहर परिवहन सेवेचे संचालन करीत असली तरी रेड बस व ग्रीन बससाठी महापालिकेने चार आॅपरेटर नियुक्त केलेले आहेत. शहरात आॅपरेटरच्या व महापालिकेच्या मालकीच्या २३७ सर्वसाधारण रेड बसेस अशा एकूण ३८७ बसेस धावत आहेत.
महापालिका व आॅपरेटरमध्ये झालेल्या करारानुसार मंजूर निविदांचे दर तसेच डिझेल दर, कर्मचारी वेतन, बसचे सुटेभाग यात वाढ झाल्यास त्याअनुषंगाने वाढीव दर निश्चित करून रेड बस आॅपरेटर्सना मासिक परतफेड करावी लागते. मार्च, २०१७ मध्ये डिझेलचे दर ६२.५७ रुपये प्रति लिटर होते. एप्रिल २०१८ मध्ये ६९.१२ रुपये प्रति लिटर एवढी वाढ झाली; म्हणजे ६.५५ रुपये एवढी प्रति लिटर वाढ डिझेलमध्ये झाली. कर्मचाºयांच्या वेतनातदेखील वृद्धी करण्यात आली. त्यानुसार तीन रेड बस आॅपरेटर्सना मिडीकरिता ४६.९० रुपये व रेड स्टॅन्डर्ड बसकरिता ५२.१६ रुपये प्रति किलोमीटर एवढी परतफेड महापालिकेला करावी लागते. ५ डिसेंबर २०१६ ते फेब्रुवारी २०१८ पर्यंत ५५ कोटी ६२ लाख १५ हजार ८९५ एवढे उत्पन्न झाले. त्यातुलनेत महापालिकेने रेड बसच्या तीन आॅपरेटर्सला १०८ कोटी ९ लाख ६७ हजार ५२५ रुपये एवढी रक्कम दिली. या काळात ५२ कोटी ४७ लाख ५१ हजार ६३० रुपयांचा तोटा झाला असल्याने भाडेवाढ आवश्यक असल्याचे परिवहन समितीने म्हटले आहे.
ग्रीन बसची भाडेकपात कशासाठी?
महापालिकेची परिवहन सेवा तोट्यात असल्याने रेड बसच्या प्रवासी भाड्यात वाढ करण्याचा प्रस्ताव आणला आहे. मात्र तोटा असूनही ग्रीन बसच्या भाड्यात गेल्या काही महिन्यांपूर्वी दोन रुपयांनी कपात केली होती. तोट्यात असूनही कपात कशासाठी, असा प्रश्न निर्माण झाला आहे.
Indian captain Virat Kohli wants to “surprise the opposition” by experimenting with his middle-order in remaining T20s against Ireland and the subsequent three-match series against England.
Kohli batted at six in the opening T20 yesterday, which India won by 76 runs.
Suresh Raina came to bat at three, MS Dhoni at four after openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma put up a 160-run stand.
Everyone’s game Every batsman will get an opportunity to bat, says Kohli
“We’re going to be flexible in the next few T20s. We will look to throw in guys when the situation requires them to come in and try to surprise the opposition,” said Kohli.
“It presents the opportunity for the batsmen who couldn’t get the opportunity to bat. Guys who couldn’t get a chance… will get an opportunity in the next match,” he added
Opposition’s praise Kohli says Ireland’s last over was terrific
Kohli assured that everyone in the squad will get a game and guys are fine with this decision.
“The opening combination was excellent. The last over bowled by Ireland was terrific. Great effort by Rohit and Shikhar to put us in a good position. And good strikes from MS, Raina, and Pandya in the end. Bowlers did a clinical job, too,” Kohli added
Spinners’ fear Will have to find way to play Indian spinners: Ireland- captain Virat Kohli
Indian spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal took four and three wickets, respectively.
Ireland captain Gary Wilson said his batsmen will have to find a way to play Indian spinners better.
“They are a world-class side and their lads at the top played beautifully. We’re going to have a chat to tackle their spinners. We could’ve bowled spinners in the power play,” said Wilson.

Even as the citizens struggle to park their vehicles on busy stretches of Nagpur, NMC (Nagpur Municipal Corporation ) is once again back with pay and park scheme.
However it was still not clear where except on already cluttered roads, would NMC manage the parking space. Sources said that NMC has identified 53 roads to implement pay and park. A Smart Parking Project on Central Bazaar road would also be the part of scheme in phase-I, which will also include 24 roads.
Civic sources informed that pay and park is part of the parking policy implemented by the civic body last year. Nagpur municipal corporation had appointed Urban Mass Transit Company Limited (UMTC) to prepare a detailed project report (DPR). Accordingly, UMTC submitted the DPR to NMC, and a detailed presentation was made before the committee headed by divisional commissioner Anup Kumar a couple of days ago.
Tendering process will be initiated now to appoint private agencies to run the pay and park on 24 roads. “Tendering process for remaining 29 roads will be undertaken later,” said the source.
Started on pilot basis, Nagpur municipal corporation had received a good response for pay and park at four locations — Wardha Road between Panchsheel Square and Lokmat Square, in front of Yashwant Stadium, and between Panchsheel Square and Yashwant Stadium.
Pay and park will not be implemented on the entire stretch of the identified roads. Areas at the starting and ending of the roads will be no parking, as also areas on tangents and squares.
Under the Rs 520 crore Smart and Safe City project, special purpose vehicle Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Limited (NSSCDCL) through L&T had developed Smart Parking on one side of CB Road, between Jai Kalpana Building T-point and Kachipura Square. Tendering process of Smart Parking will be initiated along with the 24 roads. Total 85 car parking slots are available on this stretch of around 500 meter. It will be fully automated, as it will be equipped with embedded sensors.
Take a look on charges…
The pay and park charges for 24 roads and Smart Parking will be different. For other areas, pay and park charges for two-wheeler will be Rs5 for 2 hours and Rs10 for up to 8 hours; Rs10 for 2 hours and Rs20 for up to 8 hours for four-wheelers; Rs2 for 2 hours and Rs5 for up to 8 hours for bicycles; and Rs5 for 2 hours and Rs10 for up to 8 hours for three and five-wheeler commercial vehicles.
For Smart Parking, where only four-wheelers can be parked, the charges will be Rs10 per hour and reduce as the hours increase. Charges will be Rs50 for six hours and Rs70 for eight hours.
Dhadak : The peppy dance number ‘Zingat’ from 2016 Marathi hit ‘Sairat’ was an instant hit among the masses and the entire nation was swinging to its beats. Now, the song has been reprised in ‘Dhadak’ starring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, which is a Hindi adaption of ‘Sairat’.
The reprised song is composed by Ajay-Atul who also composed the original Marathi song.
Talking about the original song, Ajay shares, “We knew that ‘Zingaat’ would become popular in Maharashtra because of its tempo, rhythm and catchy words. Also, the lyrics don’t have any double meaning. However, we never thought that it would become so popular all over India, as well as across the world. We never expected it to be played at clubs in New York or on cruise ships in Singapore! The response was overwhelming.”
For the Hindi version, Amitabh Bhattacharya has been roped in as the lyricist. The lyricist reveals that rewriting the song in Hindi was challenging.
He says, “The Marathi song was released in the recent past and is still fresh in the minds of people. It has also achieved cult status. There was no point replacing the word ‘Zingaat’, so I retained the word and rewrote the rest of the song in Hindi. I made sure that the fun element was intact. I hope people give this version as much love as the Marathi one.” Ajay reveals that there are some differences between the two versions, “The beginning chorus in the Marathi song was in English, while in the Hindi version, the chorus is similar to what we hear in Rajasthani songs.”
Dhadak’s ‘Zingaat’ has been choreographed by Farah Khan. Composer Atul shares, “We were confident Amitabh Bhattacharya would do justice to it. We are very happy with the Hindi version. We saw people dance in theatres when ‘Zingaat’ (from ‘Sairat’) played on the big screen. So, I was sure that the Hindi adaptation will also have that effect.” ‘Dhadak’ directed by Shashank Khaitan, is produced by Zee Studios and Dharma Productions. The film is slated to release on July 20.
Karwaan Trailer : The makers of Irrfan Khan‘s latest film ‘Karwaan’ have unveiled the trailer today. This adventure-comedy film marks Mollywood superstar Dulquer Salmaan’s Bollywood debut, where he will be seen playing a simple guy from Bangalore. ‘Karwaan’ also marks YouTube sensation and Marathi actress Mithila Palkar’s Hindi film debut.
Karwaan revolves around three oddballs from different walks of life who are thrown together on a somewhat bizarre journey, which helps them find normalcy in their lives.
The film has an interesting tagline – “3 lost souls, 2 dead bodies…a journey of a lifetime.”
The 2-minutes-37-seconds long trailer of Irrfan – Dulquer’s upcoming road film, Karwaan starts with a caller calling Dulquer to inform that his father passed away in an accident and the mortal remains have been sent to the hometown. While we think, it’s going to be a serious film, Irrfan proves us wrong with his one-liners yet again. The trailer will leave you in splits. I am sure, after watching the trailer, one can’t wait to watch the film already.
In the trailer we see Mithila carrying the spirited persona very well and, on the other hand, Dulquer and Irrfan are charming enough to promise the audience a memorable trip!
On the professional front, Dulquer, who was last seen in Malayalam-Tamil film ‘Solo’, helmed by Bejoy Nambiar and Malayalam film ‘Parava’ by Soubin Shahir, will be next seen in Karwaan alongside Kriti Kharbanda, who would be essaying the love interest of the South Indian heartthrob. Karwaan not marks the debut of Akarsh Khurana as a Bollywood director but also marks the Bollywood debut of South heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan and and Girl in the City and Little Things fame actress Mithila Palkar. Watch this space for further updates.
Directed by Akarsh Khurana and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, ‘Karwaan’ is set to release on August 3.
New Delhi: Getting a valid passport will now be much easier for the applicants with the government launching a Passport Seva App on Tuesday. The app, which was launched by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, makes the process for obtaining a passport much easier.
Swaraj, while addressing the officials of several Passport Seva Kendras and members of the Ministry of External Affairs on the occasion of Passport Seva Diwas, stated that the two new schemes – Passport application from anywhere in India and filling passport application forms from mobile phones – would now make the procedure for obtaining passports simpler.
While terming it as a “passport revolution”, the minister said that the simplified new passport application rues will make things much easier for hundreds of Indian citizens willing to undertake a Haj pilgrimage.
It is to be noted that the decision regarding the quota and eligibility regarding the annual Haj pilgrimage is taken by the Ministry of Minority Affairs, the issuance of passport still remains with the External Affairs Ministry.
During her speech, the senior BJP leader also stated that the new passport centres now function in separate northeast regions of the country as earlier there was just a single centre in Guwahati.
The Guwahati passport centre catered to the passport seekers of all the neighbouring regions up until now.
“In the first two phases, we announced 251 passports registration centres out of which 212 centres are already established. In the third phase, 38 additional centres were announced out of which two centres have been operationalised,” the EAM said.
Swaraj further informed that currently there are 260 working passport centres, which will be expanded to all Lok Sabha constituencies in the near future.
Ahead of the passport Seva app launch, a meeting took place between Women and Child Development Ministry and the Ministry of External Affairs during which steps that needed to be taken for hassle-free issuance of passport and making the application form more citizen-friendly were discussed.
The External Affairs Ministry is also reportedly preparing a list of areas where new passport centres are to be opened.

Interestingly, even before the teaser of the film was released, Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh gave his reaction on the first look of the film and tweeted that he had the privilege of watching the film teaser last week and he has only one word to describe it, which is Outstanding. He added that he cannot wait to watch it again and Anil Kapoor has hit it out of the park with this one.

Maintaining that Maharashtra is working towards becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2025, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Monday that the state was the “powerhouse of India”.
Speaking at the Chief Minister’s Conclave convened on the sidelines of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) event, Fadnavis said the state has come up with an economic model that would put its growth trajectory from current the 9 per cent to 10 per cent to 15.4 per cent, ensuring that it becomes a one trillion dollar economy by 2025.
“The infrastructure-led development in Maharashtra would encompass projects in both urban and rural sectors. Along with construction of 25,000-km state and national highways, we would build a network of rural roads worth Rs 30,000 crore,” he added.
“Maharashtra is the powerhouse of India. The Centre, which plans to achieve a five trillion dollar economy by 2029, would see Maharashtra aspiring to attain its one trillion dollar economy by 2025,” the CM said.
Maintaining that the state’s socio-economic development model is centred on sustainable growth, Fadnavis said: “Whether it is agriculture, infrastructure or services, we have based our targets on realistic growth. In 2025, we reckon the agriculture sector would see positive growth at 6 per cent, followed by industries at 30 per cent and service sector at 59 per cent.”
Across sectors, infrastructure will remain the integral aspect to boost growth and development, he added.
Earlier, addressing the delegates, Bihar Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said: “Rural electrification has changed the lives of people in the state. Till four years ago, more than 50 per cent of the state was without electrification. Today, every household has power for over 20 hours a day.”
Others who spoke at the event included the chief minister of Uttarakhand, Trivendra Singh Rawat.

Launched late last year, the Honor 7X remains one of the best smartphones in its price segment. However, increasing competition from the Redmi Note 5 devices and the Zenfone Max Pro M1 has seemingly forced a minor price-correction which keeps the device relevant in a segment that has become ground zero for smartphone wars in India.
The 3GB+32GB model of the Honor 7X will now start at Rs. 11,999, while the 4GB + 64GB model will now be available for Rs. 14,999. While the former was launched at Rs. 12,999, the latter came with a Rs. 15,999 price tag. The new prices are effective today onwards on Amazon India. EMI and Exchange Offers are also available for the device on the e-commerce site.
The company also says that the new models will come with Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box in the form of Huawei’s proprietary Android skin, EMUI 8.0. The update started rolling out in the country last month after hitting the US and some other parts of the world in April.
The new software brings a whole host of new features, including software-based Face Unlock, a Gaming Mode for smoother gameplay, a Power Saving mode to optimize battery life, an Uninterrupted Mode to stop interruptions during full-screen usage, and locked navigation keys to avoid accidental presses during gaming sessions.
The update also brings a safety feature called ‘Ride Mode’ that notifies the caller that the user is currently riding and cannot answer calls. There’s also a shortcut to the Paytm app that will allow users to assign a specific fingerprint to Paytm in order to bypass all the other steps and land directly on the app’s payment section. The default camera app is also getting a new AR Lens feature that allows users to preview AR effects even before clicking an image.

NAGPUR: Though touted as one of the country’s five greenest cities, Nagpur slipped to 55 among 100 cities with one lakh plus population in Central government’s Swachh Survekshan this year.
In 2016, the city was ranked 20th among 73 cities with a population of over 10 lakh and in 2017, it stood 137th among 434 cities. The city has clearly slipped as compared to its performance in last two rankings.
Among 100 cities with less than 1 lakh population, Katol in Nagpur district is placed 5th nationally with a score of 3,041 out of 4,000, in the rankings released by the ministry of housing and urban affairs on Saturday.
On a positive note, Nagpur has been adjudged best in the country in ‘Innovation and Best Practices’ category. The NMC also received the award for Smart Watches project titled ‘Soft Asset Geo-Fencing and Tracking for NMC employees’.

Akshay Kumar and the makers of his next – Gold have been teasing us with several posters of the film. A few days ago, the makers revealed a teaser of the film which began with, please stand up for the national anthem. Just when you think it it is India’s national anthem, the British one starts playing. Akshay Kumar is seen removing the national flag from his inner pocket with a lot of passion and has one dream which changed everything. “One man’s dream,” the teaser continues, “made the British stand up for our anthem.” And now the makers of the film has just released the trailer of Gold which also features Mouni Roy.
Gold traces the journey of Tapan Das to win free India’s first gold medal in Hockey. The sports drama starring Akshay Kumar takes the audience back in time to witness the struggle of a team to make the nation proud. Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh, Vineet Singh and Sunny Kaushal will also be seen in the sports film apart from Akshay. The trailer shows how it took 12 years to win a gold for India. It shows the struggle of Akshay’s character along with others to win the medal for the country. Mouni Roy is also seen in the trailer and looks gorgeous as a Bengali woman. The television hottie plays Akshay’s wife in Gold.
Gold depicts the struggle for India’s first Gold as a free nation. While we had won several medals under the British Raj, the story of this Gold medal was special. The film has been shot across the UK and India, capturing the fascinating aspects of the pre-independent era. Gold is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, helmed by Reema Kagti and is all set to release on the 15th August 2018 and is all set to clash with John Abraham’s Satyamev Jayate directed by Milap Zaveri.
Getting a smartphone is no easy task and finding the balance between performance and price can be another challenge. Users have an array of choices when it comes to picking up smartphones: flagship phones, big battery phones, selfie phones, Android phones, iPhones, Camera-centric phones and so on. With so much choice is available,has come up with a definitive list of smartphones that are some of the best options available in the market. From the iPhone X to OnePlus 6 to Xiaomi Redmi 5A, here’s a list of smartphones that are worth checking out.
Best smartphone above Rs 80,000
Apple iPhone X
The iPhone X is the best smartphone Apple has ever released. The iPhone X remains the top performing smartphone, with a beautiful OLED screen, capable dual-cameras, all-day battery life, FaceID, and a glass-backed design.
The performance is also satisfactory, after all, it is powered by Apple’s custom Bionic A11 chipset. Sure, it is an expensive smartphone at Rs 84,990 but it’s worth it.
Best smartphone between Rs 50,000 – Rs 70,000
Samsung Galaxy S9+
Samsung Galaxy S9+ is a complete smartphone, with a gorgeous 6.2-inch Super AMOLED bezel-less display, an incredible dual-camera setup, snappy Exynos 9810 processor, solid construction, and a stellar battery life. Oh yes, it has a headphone jack and a microSD card slot for extra storage as well.
Drawbacks include the fact that Samsung is slower to update the smartphone to the latest version of Android. It’s quite expensive at Rs 64,900, but if you need a great Android smartphone, it’s worth considering.
Huawei P20 Pro
We liked the Huawei P20 Pro for two simple reasons: excellent tiple-lens cameras and an impressive 4000mAh battery. The camera, of course, is a stand-out feature on the P20 Pro. After all, this is the first smartphone on the market to feature a triple-camera setup, comprising a 40MP RGB sensor, a 20MP monochrome sensor, and an 8MP telephoto lens. But isn’t the only highlight of the P20 Pro: it also comes with a 4000mAh battery that easily lasts a day-and-half on a single charge.
The 6.1-inch OLED screen is impressive and so is the performance. What we didn’t like about the P20 Pro is Huawei’s EMUI interface, which still needs a lot of polishing. Even though the Galaxy S9+ is a better phone over the P20 Pro, the latter device still offers a better camera and battery life. The P20 Pro is pricey at Rs 64,999, but it’s worth checking out.
Best smartphone between Rs 30,000 – Rs 40,000
OnePlus 6
OnePlus 6 is a fantastic option for those looking to buy a high-end smartphone at a budget price. And we ain’t joking. It has got a bright 6.28-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 845 processor, 6/8GB of RAM, 64GB/128GB of internal memory, a dual-camera (16MP+20MP), a 16MP front-facing camera, a 3300mAh battery, and all-new glass design.
No smartphone company has done a better job in cramming the latest specifications and features in a smartphone than OnePlus. Which is why the OnePlus 6 deserves all your attention, even without some extra features like wireless charging, missing microSD support and water resistance. OnePlus 6 retails in India at a starting price of Rs 34,999, which is half the price of the iPhone X or Galaxy S9+.
Best smartphone between Rs 10,000 – Rs 20,000
Motorola G6
Those on a limited budget should look forward to buying the Motorola G6. Sure, it doesn’t have the fastest processor, but the performance is solid and the camera is the best you can get on a mid-end device. Also, the Moto G6 is arguably the best looking mid-end smartphone with a glass-backed design.
All this makes the Moto G6 the top smartphone in the mid-end segment. The base model comes in at Rs 13,999, which is a steal for the price.
