Thumbe : Gram Panchayat's pump maintenance shed demolished
Demolition allegedly without panchayat's permission
Bantwal: Tumbe Gram Panchayat vice-president Praveen Tumbe has charged that a contractor destroyed Gram Panchayat's pump maintenance shed without taking prior approval of the panchayat.
"Even the contractor did not take permission for the construction of the rickshaw parking that is being carried out near Tumbe Junction on National Highway by the funds of MLC Ivan D'Souza. The contractor of the rickshaw parking demolished the pump maintenance shed on Tuesday night," he alleged.
In this regard, Gram Panchayat members led by Praveen held a dharna at Tumbe Junction today morning. The Panchayat Development Officer, along with Bantwal Rural SI Prasanna, visited and inspected the spot. Meanwhile, an argument between the vice president of Gram Panchayat and the contractor ensued. Then the Bantwal Tehsildar Purandar Hegde visited the place, discussed with the PDO and Gram Panchayat president and instructed them to submit a report regarding the incident.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
