Key Driver Transforming Small Molecule Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Market 2024: Adoption Of Personalized MedicineIn a significant move to plug leakage, the GST Council on Saturday approved a proposal to implement 'Track and Trace Mechanism' for specified evasion-prone commodities , under which a unique mark will be affixed on such goods or packages to trace them throughout the supply chain. This is to insert an enabling provision in CGST Act, 2017 through Section 148A so as to empower the government to enforce the Track and Trace Mechanism for specified evasion-prone commodities. "The system shall be based on a Unique Identification Marking which shall be affixed on the said goods or the packages thereof. This will provide a legal framework for developing such a system and will help in implementation of mechanism for tracing specified commodities throughout the supply chain," the finance ministry said while listing out decisions taken in the 55th Council meeting here. "To clarify that in respect of supply of 'Online Services' such as supply of online money gaming, OIDAR services, etc. to unregistered recipients, the supplier is required to mandatorily record the name of the state of the unregistered recipient on the tax invoice and such name of state of recipient shall be deemed to be the address on record of the recipient for the purpose of section 12(2)(b) of IGST Act, 2017 read with proviso to rule 46(f) of CGST Rules, 2017," it said. With regard to the decision taken about GST rate on goods, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, the Council has decided to cut the rate on fortified rice kernel (FRK) to 5 per cent from 18 per cent and also exempted GST on gene therapy. Besides, she said, it was decided to reduce the rate of compensation cess to 0.1 per cent on supplies to merchant exporters at par with GST rate on such supplies and to exempt from IGST imports of all equipment and consumable samples by Inspection Team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) subject to specified conditions.

Terrorism almost over from Pir Panjal: ArmyThe first phase of construction work at Albert McGowan Park in Upper Sahali is in the books and a brand-new accessible playground is now open to the public. Completion of the new playground was done a week ahead of schedule as the city announced the reopening of the park on Nov. 22, cautioning users in a social media post to be careful of slippery conditions. The playground accessibility upgrades as well as a new water park, which will include structures . The second phase of construction in the park begins next March with crews will return to the park to begin work on the water park renovations. The City of Kamloops has contracted Urban Appeal to replace the existing McGowan Park playground with accessible play features, shade structures and accessible rubber surfacing. Phase two work includes the replacement of the current water park with a new recirculating system, new surfacing and water features, which is expected to be done by September 2025. According to the city’s website, access to the newly constructed playground will be via grass only during phase two, as the accessible pathway won’t reopen until the project is complete.A man tragically died after collapsing on a night out in Louth. Emergency services were at the scene of the bar where he collapsed within seven minutes on Saturday evening, according to the owner. Lincolnshire Police confirmed the man sadly died in hospital. The tragedy happened in The King's Head, in Mercer Row. A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: "We can confirm that a man in his twenties was taken ill at The King’s Head on Mercer Row in Louth during the evening of Saturday 21 December, and he sadly died in hospital. "The file has been passed to the coroner. There are believed to be no suspicious circumstances." The owner of the King's Head, Sharon Davies, said: "It is shocking for everyone. It is so horrific and sad. It is his family and friends that we are thinking of the most." Sharon, who has owned the hotel and bar for 21 years, said: "In all my time, I have never experienced anything like that. We closed straight away." She was in charge on Saturday evening. "As soon as staff were made aware, they did CPR. We called 999 and his friends were calling the ambulance too. Someone went to get the defibrillator from outside the Market Hall in New Street and the paramedics were here within seven minutes, which was amazing," she said. The owner told how staff had greeted the group of friends earlier in the evening and all were polite and friendly and sat together near the bar. She told how staff ushered members of the public out of a separate door after the man collapsed, while emergency services rushed in through the front door. Ambulances were parked on Mercer Row. East Midlands Ambulance First Responders arrived and, moments later, two double-crewed ambulances arrived. Sharon said: "They were all brilliant. They were here within seven to eight minutes and they tried to revive him for about three-quarters of an hour. My son Chris helped everyone to leave. We were full with guests having meals. "It was a busy night before Christmas. I made sure all the staff were okay and spoke to the parents of some of them when they came to collect them. Some have had time off. "It is so, so sad. I feel devastated for his family. I have kids as well. You never expect when they go out for a night out that you won't see them again. It is horrific and sad." Sharon added: "I am so proud of my staff. But we wish it had never happened." Keep up to date with all the latest breaking news and top stories from Grimsby with our free newsletter

PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley rushed for 167 yards to top 2,000 on the season, backup quarterback Kenny Pickett ran and threw for scores before departing with injured ribs, and the Philadelphia Eagles clinched the NFC East title by routing the Dallas Cowboys 41-7 on Sunday. Barkley has 2,005 yards and needs 101 in next week’s mostly meaningless regular-season finale to top Eric Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. The Eagles led 24-7 in the third quarter when Pickett was drilled by defensive end Micah Parsons, ending his first start in place of the concussed Jalen Hurts. Tanner McKee, a career third-stringer, entered the game and the Eagles finished the drive with a field goal. McKee later threw two TD passes, a 20-yarder to A.J. Brown and a 25-yarder to DeVonta Smith, in front of a roaring crowd delighted to watch the Eagles dominate their fiercest rival to wrap up the division title and at least the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Hurts was injured in last week’s loss at Washington and remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol — he didn’t practice all week — which opened the door for Pickett to start. BUCCANEERS 48, PANTHERS 14: Baker Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns to help Tampa Bay keep its division title and playoff hopes alive with a home blowout over Carolina. Tampa Bay’s fifth win in the past six weeks nudged the first-place Bucs a half-game ahead of Atlanta for the best record in the NFC South, with the Falcons set to play on the road later Sunday night at Washington. Atlanta holds the tiebreaker in the division race and can end Tampa Bay’s three-year reign as NFC South champions by beating the Commanders and winning again next week at home against the last-place Panthers. Mayfield threw TD passes of 2 and 1 yards to Mike Evans, and Tampa Bay produced points on five straight possessions to build a 27-7 lead. Jalen McMillan scored on receptions of 10 and 16 yards, linebacker J.J. Russell returned a blocked punt for a TD, and rookie Bucky Irving had another big game against Carolina with 120 yards rushing on 20 carries and four receptions for 77 yards. GIANTS 45, COLTS 33: New York snapped a franchise-record 10-game losing streak and ended Indianapolis’ slim playoff hopes as Drew Lock threw four touchdown passes and ran for another. New York earned its first home win of the season and it no longer has control of the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Lock sandwiched touchdown passes of 31 and 59 yards to Malik Nabers around TD passes of 32 yards to Darius Slayton and 5 yards to Wan’Dale Robinson in leading the Giants to their first win since beating Seattle on Oct. 6. RAIDERS 25, SAINTS 10: Aidan O’Connell passed for two touchdowns, tight end Brock Bowers broke two rookie NFL records, and Las Vegas won for just the fourth time this season, beating struggling New Orleans at the Superdome. Ameer Abdullah rushed for 115 yards for the Raiders — the journeyman running back’s first 100-yard game in his 10 NFL seasons. O’Connell finished with 242 yards passing, including a 3-yard TD pass to Jakobi Meyers and an 18-yarder to Tre Tucker. Daniel Carlson kicked four field goals — his longest from 54 yards — for the Raiders, who didn’t look fazed by flight delays on Saturday that got them into their hotel after midnight, less than 12 hours before kickoff. BILLS 40, JETS 14: Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, and host Buffalo clinched the AFC’s No. 2 seed with a rout of unraveling and undisciplined New York. The Bills put the game away by capitalizing on two Jets turnovers and scoring three touchdowns over a 5:01 span in the closing minutes of the third quarter. Buffalo’s defense forced three takeaways overall and sacked Aaron Rodgers four times, including a 2-yard loss for a safety in the second quarter. JAGUARS 20, TITANS 13: Mac Jones threw two touchdown passes, including one to standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr., and host Jacksonville beat Tennessee in the rain to sweep the season series for the fourth time in 30 years. Jones completed 15 of 22 passes for 174 yards, with most of them going to Thomas. The first-round draft pick from LSU finished with seven receptions for 91 yards. His 11-yard TD catch with 7:05 remaining gave him his eighth game with at least 60 yards and a score, tying him with Hall of Famer Randy Moss for the most by a rookie in NFL history.
