Apropos ‘FM Sitharaman to meet industry leaders for pre-Budget talks on Dec 30’ ( December 26), FM’s annual pre-Budget meeting with economists comes amid signs of the Indian economy’s slowdown, after three years of robust growth. However, one wonders whether the suggestions made by the various industry bodies amde at pre-budget meet, make their way into the Budget document. It is genuinely felt that the FM should also announce the acceptance or otherwise of ‘suggestions’ made by such bodies, in her budget speech so as to give due credence to holding of such pre-budget meets. Kumar Gupt Panchkula (Haryana) With reference to the Editorial ‘Lending, good and bad’ (December 25). Imprudent lending encourages indisciplined borrowings and causes the generation of bad financial assets which destabilises economic growth. At a time when the demand for investment and consumption is rising, it is pivotal to ensure strictly that the lenders in the formal and informal sectors are controlled and regulated by the regulations being issued by the regulators. Unregulated banking activities need to be arrested to mitigate the risks associated, and the regulator should punish the erring entities VSK Pillai Changanacherry (Kerala) This is with reference to the article ‘Creating an enabling ecosystem for agribusiness’, (December 26). Policy and regulatory frameworks need to be consistently informed and enriched with feedback from those who are most affected by them and by the institutions that need to put them into action. stakeholder, therefore, must be open to collaborating with the right partners in relevant domains and experiment with taking help from a variety of sources. They should adopt a more experimental, open approach and cast wide to adopt key technologies effectively. In that sense, the old templates for who to collaborate with no longer apply, and organizations need to have a more open outlook towards bringing in expert help. P Sundara Pandian Virudhunagar (TN) CommentsMumbai: A BMW went up in flames recently on Western Express Highway at Vakola, throwing traffic out of gear for two hours. After a massive fire in a car on Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road at another time, the long cooling process forced other vehicles to be held back at a distance owing to safety concerns. Data from Jan-Nov this year shows 839 vehicle breakdowns on the city's streets, which, along with fires in vehicles, become a significant cause of peak-hour congestion, as per traffic police. Cars led the chart with 240 breakdowns, followed by tempos (142) and BEST buses (131). Other buses, including electric ones, trucks, dumpers, cement mixers and tankers, too, were on the list. Electric buses and luxury vehicles that break down pose particular challenges as they require specialised technical teams for removal, causing extensive delays and backlogs. Electric buses typically require two to three hours to be cleared. "In luxury vehicles, even a minor crash or an airbag getting deployed results in the wheels getting locked, requiring manufacturer intervention for removal from the site as standard towing equipment proves ineffective," said a police officer. Nitin Dossa from Western India Automobile Association, India's oldest motoring organisation, criticised dealers and manufacturers for inadequate customer guidance during vehicle sales. "Every vehicle is different and it is essential for drivers to be fully trained in using it. They must know what to do in emergencies. Maintenance of high-end vehicles should always be done at authorised dealers only. Our biggest concern is the safety of children travelling in such vehicles," he said. Commuter advocate Rupesh Shelatkar from Aapli BEST Aaplyachsathi said roughly 10% of BEST buses, particularly wet lease ones, break down during operation. "The primary cause is inadequate bus maintenance. Despite complaints through email and social media, BEST hadn't addressed these issues effectively," he alleged. Shelatkar said while penalties were imposed on contractors for breakdowns, this wasn't an effective resolution. "At least six buses caught fire in the recent past and they had deteriorated seating conditions. Such vehicles will inevitably break down due to insufficient maintenance," he said, while demanding a comprehensive fleet audit. A high-ranking BEST official said breakdowns cannot be prevented given the fleet of under-3,000 buses operating in challenging street conditions. The official said a dedicated quick response team handles such situations. "We operate a control room with wireless communication. Upon receiving a breakdown notification, it immediately alerts all support personnel. A breakdown van is dispatched from the nearest bus depot. A technical team is mobilised. A recovery vehicle is sent if on-site repairs are unfeasible or the bus cannot be restarted." For wet lease vehicles, the contracted private operators maintain their own specialised response teams to address breakdowns. JCP (traffic) Anil Kumbhare said resources were being positioned along major roads to swiftly respond to vehicle breakdowns. Traffic policemen on duty have been equipped with pooling cables to assist in towing stranded vehicles. "I would appeal to commuters to get their vehicles serviced and maintained regularly," said Kumbhare. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

Still, many questions remain about the tournament as well as the 2030 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with three games in South America. Here are some of the key issues that need to be answered over the next decade: Where will games be played? Saudi Arabia proposes 15 stadiums — eight still on paper — in five cities: Eight in the capital Riyadh, four in the Red Sea port city Jeddah, and one each in Abha, Al Khobar and Neom, the planned futuristic mega-project. Each would have at least 40,000 seats for World Cup games. The opening game and final are set for a 92,000-seat venue planned in Riyadh. Some designs are vivid . In Neom, the stadium is planned 350 meters (yards) above street level and one near Riyadh is designed to be atop a 200-meter cliff with a retractable wall of LED screens. Saudi Arabia aims to host all 104 games, though there has been speculation that some games could be played in neighboring or nearby countries. When will the World Cup be played? Surely not in the traditional World Cup period of June-July, when temperatures in Saudi Arabia routinely exceed 40 Celsius (104 degrees). FIFA moved the Qatar-hosted World Cup to November-December 2022, though those dates were not loved by most European clubs and leagues whose seasons were interrupted. Also, that slot is complicated in 2034 by the holy month of Ramadan through mid-December and Riyadh hosting the multi-sport Asian Games. January 2034 could be a possibility even though that would be just before the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The International Olympic Committee has signaled it won’t be opposed to back-to-back major events. In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Saudi World Cup bid official Hammad Albalawi said the precise dates of the tournament are up the world soccer body. “That’s a decision by FIFA. We stand ready to be part of this conversation. But ultimately it’s a FIFA decision together with the confederations,” Albalawi said. Will stadiums be segregated for men and women? Giving more rights and freedoms to women in a traditionally conservative society is fundamental to Saudi messaging around the modernization program known as Vision 2030. The kingdom decided in 2017 to let women attend sports events, initially in major cities and in family zones separate from men-only sections. By 2034, at the promised pace of social reforms, female fans should not be restricted. Saudi Arabia launched a women’s professional soccer league in 2022 with players joining from clubs in Europe. They face no restrictions playing in shorts and with hair uncovered. Will alcohol be allowed at the venues or hotels? The Saudi prohibition of alcohol is clear and understood before FIFA signs any sponsor deals for 2034. But will there be any exceptions? The alcohol issue was problematic for the World Cup in Qatar because the expectation was created that beer sales would be allowed at stadiums even before Qatar won its bid in 2010. One year later, FIFA extended a long-time deal to have Budweiser as the official World Cup beer through 2022. Qatar then backtracked on that promise three days before the first game, causing confusion and the sense of a promise broken. In Qatar, alcohol was served only at luxury suites at the stadiums. Visitors could also have a drink in some hotel bars. But Saudi Arabia has even stricter rules on alcohol — and there is no indication that will change. Albalawi noted that Saudi Arabia has successfully hosted dozens of sports events where alcohol wasn't served. “We’re creating a safe and secure family environment for fans to bring their families into our stadiums,” he said. How will workers rights be protected? Saudi promises to reform and enforce labor laws, and fully respect migrant workers, have been accepted by FIFA but face broad skepticism from rights groups and trade unions. A formal complaint is being investigated by the U.N.-backed International Labor Organization. Protecting the migrant workers needed to build stadiums and other tournament projects — a decade after it was a defining issue for Qatar — looms as a signature challenge for Saudi Arabia. Would Israel be allowed to play if it qualified for the 2034 World Cup? Saudi-Israeli relations had been improving when FIFA all but gave the 2034 World Cup to the kingdom on Oct. 4 last year. Three days later Hamas attacked Israel and diplomacy got more complicated. Any soccer federation bidding to host a FIFA tournament accepts a basic principle that whichever team qualifies is welcome. That did not stop Indonesia putting up barriers last year to Israel coming for the men’s Under-20 World Cup. Indonesia does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel which had qualified through a European tournament nine months before the issue flared. FIFA moved the entire tournament to Argentina and the Israeli team reached the semifinals. Israel played at the 1970 World Cup but has never advanced through qualifying in Europe, where it has been a member of UEFA for 30 years. Europe should have 16 places in the 48-team World Cup in Saudi Arabia. Where will the final of the 2030 World Cup be played? Most of the attention at the FIFA Congress on Wednesday was on the Saudi decision, but the soccer body and its members also formally approved the hosts of the 2030 World Cup — the most spread out and longest ever. One game each in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, the original host in 1930, will be played from June 8-9. The tournament resumes four days later for the other 101 games shared between Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Six countries, three continents, multiple languages and currencies. Fans traveling on planes, trains, automobiles and boats across about 14 kilometers (10 miles) of water between Spain and Morocco. The final is due on July 21, 2030 and a decision on where it will be played could cause some tension between the host countries. Morocco wants it in the world’s biggest soccer venue — the planned 115,000-seat King Hassan II Stadium in Casablanca. Spain, meanwhile, has proposed to host the final in either of the remodeled home stadiums of club giants Real Madrid or Barcelona. ___ Associated Press writer Baraa Anwer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, contributed to this report.
