Usha Martin Limited DEMAND ON WIRE ROPE - USHA MARTIN LIMITED: Wire rope manufacturer Usha Martin Ltd (UML) is expecting domestic demand, particularly in construction and auto sectors, to start picking up post monsoon. According to Rajeev Jhawar , Managing Director of Usha Martin, the various measures announced by the Central government to boost the economy are likely to start yielding results post monsoon. “We expect post monsoon things should be better. There should be a pick-up in demand during the festival season post September-October, by which time we hope that the Covid situation would also be brought slightly under control”, Rajeev Jhawar said. While the demand for wire rope has been “fairly decent” in international markets, the domestic demand across various sectors has been very low due to the lockdown in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. But in the previous financial year, demand has started to pick up and the top-line growth of Usha Martin is evidence for this. The r

  BEIRUT: Dozens of doctors, nurses and medical personnel rallied on Thursday outside the Central Bank in the Lebanese capital of Beirut after declaring a two-day general strike to protest rapidly deteriorating economic conditions. The strike was declared by two medical professionals’ unions — The Syndicates of Doctors in Beirut and the North and the Syndicate of Private Hospital Owners — which say they could no longer put up with Central Bank policies that have allowed banks to impose random capital controls and other restrictions. During the strike, which ends on Friday, only emergency cases and dialysis patients would be admitted to hospitals, the unions said. Lebanon’s medical sector, which up until few years ago was among the best in the Middle East, is on the brink of collapse, barely surviving the country’s unprecedented economic and financial meltdown.

  MONTREAL : Police in Canada’s largest city Toronto on Thursday fatally shot a man armed with a rifle, local media reported, in an incident that forced several schools into lockdown just two days after a deadly assault on a US primary school. Bystanders alerted police to the man’s presence in an eastern neighborhood of Toronto, and the circumstances of what transpired next were not immediately clear. But city police chief James Ramer told reporters that the suspect, described as a man in his late teens or early 20s, was dead after he had “confronted” responding officers, without elaborating. The police force’s Twitter account said that after officers located the man, a “police firearm” was “discharged.” A spokeswoman for the Special Investigations Unit told the CBC that preliminary evidence showed that two police officers had fired their weapons, and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. It was not clear if the man was holding the weapon when police shot him. Ramer said he was

  JEDDAH : The US has confiscated more than 600,000 barrels of smuggled Iranian crude oil from a tanker off the coast of Greece in a new wave of sanctions enforcement. The cargo of oil was pumped off the tanker into another vessel on Thursday and is now being transferred to the US.
