Afghanistan has appointed Noor Ahmad Noor as its Charge d’Affaires to the Afghan Embassy in New Delhi, nearly five years after the Taliban took control of Kabul in 2021.

West Bengal government officials with support of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee stopped Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials from carrying out searches and seizing material linked to the ED’s investigation into an alleged coal smuggling scam.

Mamata Banerjee said ordinary voters were being subjected to coercive hearings over minor issues such as spelling errors or small age discrepancies.
