1.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday unveiled a 25% tariff on im-ported vehicles, expanding a global trade war and prompting criticism and threats of retaliation from affected U.S. allies. The new levies on cars and light trucks will take effect on April 3, the day after Mr. Trump plans to announce reciprocal tariffs aimed at the countries responsible for the bulk of the U.S. trade deficit.
2.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India this year, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced on Thursday, adding that both sides are making the necessary preparations for the visit. He appreciated India's "balanced" approach towards the Ukraine crisis, while addressing an event here.
3.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Thursday adopted a 'Special Government Resolution', urging the Centre to withdraw the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, introduced in the Lok Sabha.

On the afternoon of March 9, groups of people in mini buses, cabs, autorickshaws, and some on foot, rush towards the Glory and Wisdom Church in Tajpur village, Jalandhar district, Punjab. They are headed to a field spread across five acres, where Bajinder Singh, who calls himself a prophet, will be speaking at a prayer meeting. Some are here seeking cures for their ailments and others to find a solution to their financial woes. All believe in the "healing crusades" and "miracle services" that the preacher promises. The man, who claims to be 42, runs a ministry based on the Bible. He has built his profile as a man of God over the past decade and has 3.75 million followers on YouTube, with over a million each on Instagram and Facebook.

By informing the Delhi High Court that it cannot be compelled to come on board the Union government's SAHYOG portal, the social media platform, X, has brought to light a mechanism that could potentially be misused by the government in its attempts to curb content on the Internet. The portal, which has been conceptualised by the government to be a platform that will facilitate coordination among law enforcement agencies, social media platforms and telecom service providers to help in quicker take-downs of unlawful content, seems to be a follow-up to an office memorandum by the Minis-try of Electronics and Information Technology, in October 2023, authorising government agencies to block content, under Section 79 of the IT Act. The creation of SAHYOG was disclosed by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in the Delhi High Court last year, in Shabana vs Govt Of NCT OF Delhi And Ors., where the court had emphasised the need for a mechanism to enable real-time interactions between Internet intermediaries and law enforcement authorities in order to address urgent cases. Section 79 of the IT Act provides safe harbour protection to intermediaries so that they are not liable for third-party content hosted or transmitted on or through their platforms pro-vided they adhere to certain conditions. Section 79(3)(b) provides an exception to this protection if an intermediary receives actual knowledge or is notified by the government agency that certain content is being used to commit an unlawful act, it must remove or disable access to that content quickly, failing which it will lose safe harbour protection.

The facts in the Justice Yashwant Varma case are indeed disturbing. In an apparent accidental fire in an outhouse on the premises of his official bungalow in New Delhi (while he was not in town), the fire department seemed to have found several sacks of high value currency notes (2500), which had been burnt, some partially. Someone in the police/fire department recorded a video when the firemen were trying to douse the fire.

It is no state secret that the defence public sector undertakings have the Indian armed forces as their captive customers. In fact, with the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' campaign, this dependence has only increased and has added to the stress of planners in the Indian Air Force (IAF) as they juggle with a depleting squadron strength in the IAF due to a poor production rate by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. After the IAF chief made his angst clear at the Aero India-2025 show in Bengaluru in February, there has been a flurry of media statements about how a reinvigorated environment is now geared up to supply Tejas MKIA Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) jets. This month, the handing over event of the first rear fuselage for the Tejas, made by a private manufacturer - with the Defence Minister and the IAF chief present - has also been highlighted in the media.
8.
In February 2024, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the Free Movement Regime (FMR) along the Myanmar border would be scrapped but there has neither been any notification by the Ministry of External Affairs in this regard nor any bilateral agreement with Myanmar so far. Former Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh's insistence is said to have led to the decision following complaints that unregulated movement of people from across the border was fuelling the ethnic conflict in his State. Mizoram and Nagaland opposed this decision, which has not yet been implemented on the ground. The FMR came into existence in 1968 as people on either side of the border have familial and ethnic ties. The territorial limit of free movement then was 40 km, which was reduced to 16 km in 2004, and additional regulations were enforced in 2016. Should the FMR between India and Myanmar remain? Henry Zodinliana Pachuau and Likhase Sangtam discuss the pros and cons in a conversation moderated by Rahul Karmakar. Edited excerpts:

Evidence based policymaking relies on data, research, and statistical analysis - not ideology, untested assumptions or political convenience. It ensures that policies address real needs, maximise effectiveness, and avoid unnecessary burdens. By this standard, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020's push for a third language in schools fails to meet the mark.
10.
The cost of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, makes up 45% of the airfare, Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu told the Lok Sabha on Thursday, noting that some States such as Tamil Nadu charge a high 29% value-added tax (VAT) on it.
11.
The Union government on Thursday directed the States to review the preparedness of health facilities for the management of heatstroke cases and heat-related illnesses. Union Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava, in a letter, noted that with the onset of summer, an in-crease in exposure to heat, including extreme conditions, may occur.
12.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan said here on Thursday that the purchase of tur dal (pigeon pea) in the major producing States had gained momentum. "In order to increase domestic production of pulses, encourage farmers and reduce dependence on imports, the government has approved procurement of tur, urad (black gram), and lentil un-der Price Support Scheme at 100% of State production for the procurement year 2024-25," Mr. Chouhan said in a statement.

Nearly three in five posts of scientific personnel sanctioned at one of India's top institutes for basic science research, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), are lying vacant. Moreover, a quarter of the sanctioned posts at India's key atomic energy re-search institutions and nuclear power plants are vacant. This is significant given that India has committed ₹20,000 crore this year for building small modular reactors.
