India vs US Over Russian Oil: Are Trump’s New Sanctions Really a Threat? | Anas Alhaji EXCLUSIVE

News18 - Sep 25, 2026

India could face higher US tariffs over its continued purchases of Russian oil under a new US sanctions law signed by President Donald Trump. The legislation gives Washington the power to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that meet specified criteria related to Russian energy purchases. Energy expert Anas Alhaji argues that the impact on India may be limited, pointing to exemptions, presidential discretion and the time available for countries to respond. However, the legislation gives the US significant new authority and could add pressure to India-US trade relations. India has maintained that its energy sourcing decisions are guided by national interest and energy security, while continuing to diversify its oil supplies. n18oc_indian18oc_the-hard-factsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube

Operation Fortress Siliguri: India’s Underground Plan To Secure ‘Chicken’s Neck’ | #EXCLUSIVE | TRS

Operation Fortress Siliguri EXCLUSIVE: India is stepping up efforts to secure the strategically vital Siliguri Corridor, popularly known as the “Chicken’s Neck” — the narrow land link connecting mainland India with the Northeast.The strategic corridor has become a major focus of India’s infrastructure and security planning. Plans for underground railway tracks along a key stretch are aimed at ensuring connectivity remains resilient even during extreme scenarios or a conflict. The proposed underground section between Tin Mile Haat and Rangapani is planned at a depth of around 20–24 metres.The wider security push includes strengthening military infrastructure, surveillance and rapid-response capabilities around the corridor. The Siliguri Corridor is particularly sensitive because of its geography, with Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh surrounding the region and China’s Chumbi Valley nearby.What exactly is Operation Fortress Siliguri? How vulnerable is the Chicken’s Neck and how is India preparing to secure this critical gateway to the Northeast? n18oc_indian18oc_the-right-standNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube

SP-Congress Alliance Under Strain? Seat Sharing Becomes Key Hurdle Ahead Of UP 2027 | Plain Speak

The Samajwadi Party and Congress are heading into a crucial seat-sharing discussion ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, with differences emerging over the number of seats and the basis for allocation.SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has reiterated that the alliance with Congress will continue, but said seats should go to the party or candidate with the ability to win. Congress, meanwhile, is seeking a substantially larger share of the 403 Assembly seats. Reports indicate the SP is considering around 65 seats for Congress, while Congress has been seeking a much larger number.The two parties had a stronger combined showing in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, winning 43 of Uttar Pradesh’s 80 seats. But their separate performance in the 2022 Assembly election was markedly different, with SP winning 111 seats and Congress winning just two.With seat-sharing talks still taking shape and a possible meeting between Mallikarjun Kharge and Akhilesh Yadav expected in October, the focus is now on how the two parties divide the 403 Assembly seats and structure their campaign against the BJP.Watch the latest developments in the SP-Congress alliance, Akhilesh Yadav’s winnability formula and the UP 2027 seat-sharing battle. n18oc_plain-speakn18oc_indiaNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
