Sale of banned e-cigarettes: M'luru police asks MCC to revoke licenses of 3 shops in Saibeen Complex
Mangaluru: The Mangaluru police department has advised the Mangalore Municipal Corporation (MCC) to revoke the licenses of vendors operating under the names Amantrana, Unique World, and Fantastic World on the ground floor of Saibeen Complex in Lalbagh.
The move comes in response to a recent raid conducted by Barke police following complaints that these vendors were selling e-cigarettes, which are prohibited by the central government.

On August 21, Barke police executed a raid on the premises based on allegations of selling e-cigarettes and foreign cigarettes lacking government-mandated warning labels on their packaging. During the operation, a sum of Rs. 2,70,000 was confiscated. Additionally, a substantial quantity of e-cigarettes and foreign cigarettes was seized, and legal actions were initiated against the vendors.
Prior to this incident, cases had already been filed against these accused vendors at Barke police station for their alleged involvement in the illegal sale of e-cigarettes. Despite these cases, the accused reportedly continued their prohibited trade activities. In light of this ongoing situation, Police Commissioner Kuldeep Kumar Jain has written to the Mangalore Municipal Corporation. In his letter, he requested that the trade licenses of the three shops involved be canceled, and suitable actions be taken to address the issue.

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.
