The event is vital for the industry since here decisions are taken on future tobacco control policies and regulations that countries should adopt. It is attended by representatives of the FCTC signatory countries, NGOs and anti-tobacco activists, amongst others. “It is unfortunate that the industry stakeholders and tobacco farmers whose livelihood will be affected by the decisions at this conference have not been allowed to participate in the conference. It is disappointing that WHO and the Indian government did not respond to the TII said the participation of stakeholders is essential to ensure that the farmer and industry view point on various issues arising pleas of the industry stakeholders and tobacco farming community seeking participation in out of the COP7 Agenda is taken cognizance of. the COP7 meeting,” said a release issued by the industry body, The Tobacco Institute of India (TII). TII said the participation of stakeholders is essential to ensure that the farmer and industry view point on various issues arising out of the COP7 Agenda is taken cognizance of and no unilateral and discriminatory one-sided decision is taken. TII director Syed Mahmood Ahmad said the industry is concerned that tobacco control activists and NGOs, who will have unhindered access to the conference, continue to wage a relentless campaign to influence tobacco control policies in the country and promote a false propaganda that the Indian Government is obligated under the FCTC to implement provisions of the FCTC and introduce further regulations in the country which are excessive in nature and inimical to tobacco cultivation and the tobacco farming community. He said the FCTC allows various countries to consider their local conditions and domestic priorities while adopting measures recommended by it. TII said the anti-tobacco NGOs funded by vested interests are putting pressure on the policy makers to pursue an agenda guided by false propaganda. It said the NGOs lack real world knowledge of tobacco growing and promote arbitrary measures that have very adverse social and economic consequences for the country.

The spotlight, according to some immigration experts, will shift towards the EB-5-based US immigration visa, which is investment-linked. At present, such visas issued to Indians remain in the three-digit figure, but with it probably being the easiest route to set foot on American soil, the number of applications could go up significantly. Mark I Davies, global chairperson of Davies & Associates, a US immigrant investor visa firm, says, "Trump's win in the Presidential Elections will be beneficial for EB-5 visa applicants. Such visas, issued to Indians remain in the three-digit figure, will see a rise if they remain the easiest route to set foot on While some of our clients have expressed concern with a Trump victory, we believed that American soil. their concerns will be short-lived, it will cause more Indians to apply for an EB-5-based US immigrant visa." Trump has previously used the EB-5 visa program as a source of funding for some of his real estate projects.

    New drivers are not signing up with Ola & Uber The slowing growth in fleet sizes is emblematic of a market that is maturing and stabilising after nearly a half decade of frenzied growthShashwati Shankar | ET Bureau | June 01, 2017, 07:35 IST inShare A large number of taxi drivers have quit Ola and Uber and not many new ones are signing up, but that might be a good thing. Analysts and company executives ET spoke with said more than 10,000 drivers have left Ola and Uber in Bengaluru alone in the past two years, as the companies gradually lowered the heady incentives they used to lure the drivers. Also, driver registrations plunged from 300-350 a day in 2016 to 40-50 this year across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi. Even so, analysts said, the slowing growth in fleet sizes is emblematic of a market that is maturing and stabilising after nearly a half decade of frenzied growth that was beginning to affect operations. “While the supply (of drivers and vehicles) has dropped from 2016 to 2017, it is stabilising and the market is slowly showing signs of maturing,“ said Jaspal Singh, partner at Valoriser Consultants. “Newer drivers coming on board are aware that the incentives and salaries offered are lower than what they were last year.They are more prepared to work longer hours for lower wages in the pursuit of owning a car in the long run.“ Many of the drivers who have dropped off the platforms were earning ` Rs60,000 to 1 lakh a month in fares and incentives, he said.
