Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday said that the state government cannot cancel agreements signed by previous governments with the Adani Group for setting up of a defence production unit in Hyderabad. He said it was the BJP government at the Centre had allowed 100 per cent private investments in the defence sector and it was not under the purview of the state government. Responding to calls for action against the Adani Group at a book release event on Saturday, Revanth Reddy said, "The state government has no role in this. The BJP government has allowed 100 per cent private investments in the defence sector. The Adani Group established its defence manufacturing facility in Hyderabad based on agreements signed by previous governments. The state government has to honour this.” “It’s not about Adani or any individual but about the Centre's policy to permit private sector involvement in defence production. The state government cannot unilaterally cancel these agreements," he said and added that the state government's role in this issue is confined to the allotment of land for the defence manufacturing units. Adani Aerospace and Defence Ltd manufactures counter-drone systems, missiles, and unmanned vehicles at its facility on the outskirts of Hyderabad. During the event organised to release the book ‘Nuts, Bolts of War & Peace’, authored by former MLC K. Yadava Reddy at Ravindra Bharathi, several political leaders, including former CPM MLA Julakanti Ranga Reddy, voiced concerns about Adani Group’s role in manufacturing Hermes 900 missile drones, which allegedly were supplied to the Israeli military for use in attacks on Palestine. The Chief Minister criticised the Centre’s handling of territorial disputes with China and internal conflicts in Manipur. He alleged that China had occupied up to 4,000 square kilometres of Indian territory post-2014, a topic he claimed was being deliberately sidelined in parliamentary discussions. "The rulers at the Centre are raising unnecessary issues in Parliament to prevent discussions on China’s aggression. People are distracted from such important issues," he remarked. Highlighting the violence in Manipur, Revanth Reddy attributed the unrest to corporate interests. "Sophisticated weapons like AK-47s are being used, fuelling a civil war. Corporate companies are exploiting the region’s mineral wealth by encouraging conflicts. Shouldn’t the Indian government intervene to establish peace and seize these weapons? Such steps are necessary to restore normalcy." Speaking about the book’s author Yadava Reddy, the Chief Minister commended his ideological commitment and significant contributions to the Telangana movement. "Many speak about ideologies, but only a few follow them. Yadava Reddy is one of them," the Chief Minister said. He also lauded the efforts of other leaders like S Jaipal Reddy, highlighting their roles in securing Telangana statehood. Revanth Reddy called for the publication of a comprehensive book chronicling the history of the Telangana statehood movement, including pivotal issues like the Mulki and non-Mulki disputes, and the contributions of leaders such as Yadava Reddy and Jaipal Reddy. He said that while some leaders received recognition for their roles in the forefront, many who worked tirelessly behind the scenes were overlooked.

The Boston Red Sox continued to rebuild their pitching staff, acquiring left-hander Jovani Morán on Tuesday from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for catcher and infielder Mickey Gasper. The 27-year-old Morán appeared in 79 games as a reliever for the Twins from 2021 to 2023, posting a 4.15 ERA, striking out 112 with 52 walks and holding opponents to a .208 batting average. He missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He originally was chosen in the seventh round of the 2015 draft.Private jet fuel suppliers have grown their sales at 63% this fiscal year compared to state-run companies' 5.5% and grabbed nearly 12% market share, aided by an aggressive marketing and supply network expansion.

India exports half the jet fuel it produces in its refineries, with private refiners being the main exporters. Domestic markets are more attractive to serve than the export market, which encourages private players to push hard and challenge PSUs' dominance. Regulatory changes over the years have helped the private sector expand, an industry executive said. Open access at most airports allows private players to use infrastructure built by state firms for a fee. They use aggressive marketing techniques to attract airlines, he added.

(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )NEW YORK , Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Council for Autism Service Providers (CASP) honored ABA Centers, the nation's fastest growing autism care provider, by partnering to ring the iconic Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange together. Lorri Unumb , Chief Executive Officer of CASP; Christopher Barnett , Founder & Chairman of ABA Centers; and his daughter, Madison Mulvey , were the official bell ringers during the 1 pm ceremony, marking an early close of the markets in preparation for the upcoming Christmas holiday. ABA Centers was founded as a testament to a father's love for his daughter, sparked from Mr. Barnett's personal experience attempting to acquire a diagnosis and then quality care for his own child, Ms. Mulvey, who spent years dealing with a misdiagnosis and missing out on the proper treatment that she desperately needed. What Mr. Barnett experienced as the parent of a child on the spectrum – the inadequacies, the lack of services available, and the long wait lists within the autism care system – were simply unacceptable. As a longtime healthcare entrepreneur, Mr. Barnett recognized that he already harnessed the infrastructure to effectuate real change within the autism care industry, so he set out to create a mission-driven organization, where every employee throughout the corporate and clinical teams is dedicated to making a lasting impact in the lives of autistic children and their families. "I hope that the sound waves of this bell ringing transcend the trading floor and serve as a rally call for quick, compassionate, and top quality autism care across our country," remarked Mr. Barnett. "Seeing CASP and ABA Centers on the New York Stock Exchange podium should encourage other decision makers and deal makers alike to find ways in which they can positively impact the autism care industry further because there are millions of children currently languishing on wait lists and missing out on the autism care that they deserve during the most crucial times." In 2024, ABA Centers achieved the following monumental milestones, which served to amplify its commitment to providing every kid in the country with world class autism care: "For mission-driven organizations like CASP and ABA Centers, this bell ringing ceremony offers a platform to amplify our message and highlight the importance of autism care, as well as the challenges faced by the autism community, to a robust and influential audience," stated Mrs. Unumb. Mrs. Unumb and Mr. Barnett were joined on the bell ringing podium by the C-suite of ABA Centers: Jason Barker ; Joseph Heilner ; Kristy Johnson ; Quatiba Davis; Michael Holohan ; Michael Holzum ; Michael Holzum, Jr. ; and Ted Bender ; members of The Christopher M. Barnett Family Foundation: Julie Barnett , Kaitlyn Mulvey , Madison Mulvey , and Kennedy Mulvey ; and Dan Unumb of the Autism Legal Resource Center.

Carragher identifies ‘ridiculous’ moment behind Romero’s injury in Tottenham’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea

WASHINGTON — Tech entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy came to Capitol Hill Thursday to join Republicans in a celebration of the new initiative named the “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) proclaimed it a “new day in Washington and a new day in America” and said Thursday’s meeting marked “the beginning of a journey.” Just don’t ask where the journey’s going or what DOGE, whose name is a nod to both a meme and a digital currency , will actually do. “There won’t be a lot of detail for the press today — and that’s by design, because this is a brainstorming session,” Johnson told reporters, before ducking into a meeting with Musk, Ramaswamy and a bunch of Republican lawmakers. The two men, who have outsize influence in Trump’s forthcoming White House without being in Trump’s Cabinet, created a spectacle on the Hill. The Tesla CEO moved between meetings carrying one of his young children on his shoulders, flanked by an entourage. Neither he nor Ramaswamy responded to questions from reporters. (Editor’s note: Ramaswamy owns a stake in HuffPost’s parent company, BuzzFeed.) Earlier on Thursday, Ramaswamy met alone with GOP senators, some of whom stressed afterwards that it is still up to Congress, not Musk and Ramaswamy, to set spending levels. President-elect Donald Trump has described DOGE as a non-governmental project that would function as more of an advisory panel for ways to root out waste, rather than a traditional government agency. “They’re more of an advisory group that works behind the scenes with the White House,” Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) told reporters after leaving the meeting. Asked why DOGE would succeed when previous efforts to drive down spending with the help of an outside commission, like the 2010 deficit commission , have failed, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters, “That question is way too early for this process.” Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who’s leading the House group working with DOGE, told reporters the lawmakers talked with Musk and Ramaswamy about the national debt. “It’s unsustainable and our country is on a crash course,” she said. Greene also offered some insight into how DOGE would rate lawmakers: “Elon and Vivek talked about having a naughty list and a nice list for members of Congress and senators, and how we vote and how we’re spending the American people’s money,” she said . While lawmakers await DOGE recommendations, its leaders are both in favor of dramatically slashing federal spending. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur who ran for president and then became a top surrogate for Trump, wants to eliminate 75% of the federal workforce. Musk has talked about wanting to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget — a goal that budget experts consider laughably unrealistic without reductions to Social Security and Medicare, which Trump has previously vowed not to touch. But Rep. Aaron Bean (R-Fla.), co-founder of the House DOGE caucus, told reporters that lawmakers would, in fact, examine cuts to “mandatory spending,” a category that includes these popular programs for older Americans. “I don’t want to take away benefits, but we do want to look at how we give those benefits away to do it in the most efficient way possible,” Bean said. Bean and many other Republicans are excited that Musk and Ramaswamy have brought renewed interest in cutting spending. Bean mused about other ways of driving attention to the project.

The House DOGE group includes at least one Democrat, Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz, who said eliminating waste and fraud “shouldn’t be a partisan issue.” But Democrats weren’t invited to attend Thursday’s meeting. As he left the meeting, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) offered a pessimistic take on the DOGE mission. “If Congress doesn’t have the guts to do those things they’re talking real big about, it’s just a waste of time,” Burchett said. Related From Our PartnerWhile La Vega head football coach Don Hyde was the clear winner of the Tribune-Herald’s Sportsperson of the Year honor, others also drew consideration from our selection committee, comprised of Tribune-Herald staffers and freelancers. Here is a look at the other five finalists for the award, culled from an original list of 15 athletes, coaches and teams. Andrew Billings, Chicago Bears Billings, a former Waco High and Baylor standout now playing defensive tackle for the Chicago Bears, was nominated as Chicago’s 2024 pick for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which recognizes a player’s philanthropic efforts in addition to their play on the field. Billings has a number of initiatives that directly benefit his hometown, including a “Books and Bikes” program that supplies library books to Waco elementary schools and gives bikes to students with perfect attendance. If Billings wins the award, Waco ISD will receive $35,000. Last Friday, Billings surprised 11-year-old David Martinez, a Waco ISD sixth grader, with two tickets to next year's Super Bowl in New Orleans. Crawford volleyball Crawford put together a dominant 44-5 season in “enjoying the ride” all the way to the program’s third state championship. In the Class 2A Div. II final against No. 1-ranked Iola, the second-ranked Lady Pirates exacted a measure of redemption over Iola for a 2023 state title game loss, winning a five-set thriller. Crawford also produced the Super Centex Player of the Year in senior setter Blair Keith and the Coach of the Year in veteran leader Jeff Coker. Crawford did not lose to a 2A opponent all season. Brice Helton, Live Oak athletic director Helton oversaw a sea change for Live Oak in 2024. The Falcons opened not one but two sparkling new facilities at 25th and Mary — Falcon Park for baseball and Falcon Field for football. Helton, who has a long history in six-man football, also stepped away from his old role coaching football and hired Matt Hurst to lead the football team as it made a transition to 11-man. All the Falcons did in their first year was go 8-4 and reach the TAPPS Div. IV state semifinals. John Morris, Baylor broadcaster Morris, the lovable “Voice of the Bears,” enjoyed a nice year of honors. Morris received the 2024 Chris Schenkel Award from the National Football Foundation. The award recognizes people who have had long, distinguished careers broadcasting college football with direct ties to a specific university. That’s certainly Morris, Baylor’s signature voice for Baylor sports for more than 30 years. He also won the Dave Campbell Award at the Greater Waco Kickoff Luncheon for his significant contributions to football in Central Texas, becoming the first person to win both the Frank Fallon Award (which is given out at the Tipoff Luncheon) and the Dave Campbell Award. Morris has called 441 consecutive Baylor football games. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor football The picture of resiliency for Baylor’s football team, the redshirt junior quarterback didn’t start out the season as the starter and took over only when transfer Dequan Finn went down with an injury. But Robertson was the Bears’ stabilizing force thereafter, throwing for 2,626 yards, 26 touchdowns and just seven interceptions while rushing for another four more TDs. Robertson helped lead Baylor to six straight wins to close the year and a berth in the Dec. 31 Texas Bowl against LSU.
