Mangos Flood Local Markets After EU Ban

A ban comes into effect on 1st May 2014 that will ban all exports of Alfonzo Mangoes to the European Union for the alleged presence of fruit flies in over 207 consignments according to earlier samples of the products exported to the region. There are farmers who worry about their productive efforts finding no takers. The effective 1st May 2014 EU ban in essence cuts off a source of revenue for the mango farmers and exporters predominantly from southern India. Although according to the EU competition commission norms and free trade agreements the act constitutes the nations rights to exercise its powers. These rights and powers sometimes happen to infringe on the rights of the affected nations to exercise free trade. Given the sharp EU restrictions and India’s credible earlier exports these reactions can be seen as knee jerk and giving no precise grounds to ensure that these instances don’t occur.  

Boost of Local Market Supply With the ban fully expected to boost the local market mango supply the consumers will surely be the best gainers given that some of these mangoes like the variety of the famed Alphonso mango are high end products especially for export purpose. Potential Date For Amendment   The policy shift also remarkably emphasizes the length of time for its possible reversal and consideration. The tentative deadline of 2015 seems like a long time before the Indian fruit exporter can hope to see an amendment to the harsh measure.

Ayodhya is important in Hindu mythology, beliefs and believed setting for the epic Ramayana. Though revered, its recent history post Babri Masjid demolition has been marred in controversy and dispute. The history of the Babri Masjid has been recounted several times both in the local Indian press post its demolition on 6th December 1992 and exposure in international media to tensions engendered.

News in Hindi about Progress on IM Terror Investigation

Having cracked a major ‘chink in the armor’ of Indian Mujahedeen by arresting some operatives by Delhi police special cell and Rajasthan police in Jodhpur, the ongoing Indian Mujahedeen terror investigation throws more light to some unique human behavior but with more chilling reality of brutal acts of revenge. India has often been a soft target for a variety of perpetrated acts of terror and mass disruption by terrorist outfits in and outside the country.  According to arrested suspects confessions and proof allegedly recovered it gives a cache of bombs, ammunition, literature and other paraphernalia for purposes of carrying out terror acts. These seem a given for investigative agencies. But for the Delhi police special cell and Rajasthan police point to wider plan of planned attacks in the pipeline.

Revenge for various attacks allegedly against some communities, viz Muzarffarnagar riots, Patna blasts, Hyderabad blasts, Mumbai blasts, Jaipur blasts etc. The list for terror acts on India seems to grow and be getting bigger each year. There’s always a chance that some operatives got away, but agencies confirm the major leadership in India for now is in custody. Jodhpur arrests on Saturday and subsequent interrogations may bring a sense of respite and ease but the machine of terror never takes a backseat to irrelevance. Even as the security and investigations confirm there is possibility of new leadership trying to come and take over from neighborhood of India.

Terrorism badly disrupts social harmony and peace causing tremendous anguish and pain to victims and society. Terrorist’s minds and objectives defeats irony even to the most profound scientific logic or analysis. With the new breakthrough in investigation one can only hope the alert continues unabated.
