Amid a rise in pet canine attacks, several cities in India have brought in strict regulations that seek to punish owners if any such incident take place.

Cities near the national capital Delhi — Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad — have of late seen a spate of incidents of pet dogs randomly attacking passers-by, and in some cases the owners.

This has prompted the authorities to impose tough measures to deter such incidents. While Gurugram and Ghaziabad have banned 11 foreign dog breeds as pets, Noida has released a list of actions to be taken, including a Rs 10,000 ($124) fine.

On Tuesday, the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum ordered the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) to ban 11 foreign breeds, and ordered to cancel the registration granted to such banned dog breeds and take them into its custody.

The other directions also include mandatory metal chains, tokens for all dogs, and one family allowed to keep only one dog as a pet.

The order, which took effect from November 15, has banned American Pit-bull terriers, Dogo Argentino, Rottweiler, Neapolitan mastiff, Boerboel, Presa Canario, Wolf dog, Bandog, American Bulldog, Fila Brasileiro and Cane Corso.

The Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (GMC) has also banned Pit Bull, Rottweiler and Dogo Argentino breeds as pets.

"The three breeds -- Pit Bull, Rottweiler and Dogo Argentino -- are ferocious, and no permission will be granted to keep these dogs. No licence will be issued. If somebody buys one of these, he/she will be responsible. All these three breeds have been banned in Ghaziabad," BJP leader and GMC councillor Sanjay Singh told PTI news agency.

The civic authorities in Noida have issued new regulations making anti-rabies vaccination of pet dogs mandatory, and a fine of Rs 10,000 to be recovered from owners if their pet dogs attack anyone. They would also have to bear the hospital cost of the victim.

The losses highlight a period of rapid expansion by Oyo into markets such as China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which has made the six-year-old startup one of the world's biggest hotel chains by room count.

Oyo reported a net loss of 23.85 billion rupees ($332 million) in the year to March 2019, compared with a loss of 3.6 billion rupees a year earlier, according to the report filed with India's ministry of corporate affairs. Revenue from operations surged to 64.57 billion rupees ($900 million) from about 14.13 billion rupees a year earlier.

Oyo said in a statement the report contained only "certain provisional financials" for the year ending March 2019. "These are not the final audited financials and the same will be issued later by the company along with the annual report that we issue every year."

The report, prepared by a valuer in Gurugram, just south of New Delhi, said the financials for the year to March 2019 were unaudited and all figures were provided by Oyo's management.

The growing losses at <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/softbank-backed-oyo-to-raise-15-billion-led-by-founder-other-existing-investors-254242">Oyo</a> come as its major investor SoftBank struggles to raise funding for a second investment fund in the wake of the failed listing of office-rental company WeWork and amid questions about the path to profitability of other marquee investments like <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/uber-safety-culture-lacking-in-autonomous-car-incident-regulator-263292">Uber</a>.

SoftBank, which has invested nearly $1 billion in Oyo through its Vision Fund, this month reported its first quarterly loss in 14 years, dragged down by an $8.9 billion hit at the Vision Fund.

Oyo's operating expenses grew nearly five-fold year-over-year to 61.32 billion rupees, while total expenses hit 90.28 billion rupees, the report showed.

Gurugram-headquartered Oyo, valued at $10 billion, allows guests to book hotels through its mobile app and charges partnering hotels a fee on room revenue. It also franchises its brand and offers standardized amenities at hotels on its network.

Noted industry leader and ITC Chairman YC Deveshwar, who transformed the cigarette major into a diversified player with interests in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy?page=158">FMCG</a>, hospitality, IT and other sectors, passed away Saturday morning after a brief illness.

Deveshwar (72), who stepped down from the executive role as chairman and CEO in 2017 but remained as a non-executive chairman, breathed his last at a private hospital in Gurugram.

"We deeply mourn the passing away of Y C Deveshwar, Chairman ITC," ITC Managing Director Sanjiv Puri said in a statement.

Deveshwar passionately championed the cause for sustainable and inclusive growth and the transformative role businesses could play in creating larger societal value. This vision drove ITC to pursue business models that today support over 6 million livelihoods, many amongst the weakest in society, Puri added.

He leaves behind his wife and two children -- a son and a daughter.

Deveshwar joined ITC in 1968 and was appointed as a director on ITC's board on April 11, 1984. He rose to become its chief executive and chairman on January 1, 1996.

One of the longest-serving top executives of a corporate entity in India, he was responsible for transforming ITC from mainly a cigarettes maker into a diversified entity with interests in FMCG, hospitality, paper, agribusiness and information technology, among others.

When Deveshwar took charge at the helm of the company in the mid-1990s, ITC was confronted with formidable challenges, with diversification efforts either failing or languishing. The company's revenue was less than Rs 5,200 crore and Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at Rs 452 crore.

In 2017-18, the company posted revenues of Rs 44,329.77 crore and a net profit of Rs 11,223.25 crore.

"His leadership transformed ITC into a valuable and admired multi-business conglomerate with a robust portfolio of front-ranking businesses in FMCG, hotels, paperboards and paper, packaging and agri-business.

"His vision to make societal value creation a bedrock of corporate strategy also led ITC to become a global exemplar in sustainability and the only company in the world to be carbon positive, water positive and solid waste positive for over a decade," Puri said.

An alumnus of IIT Delhi and Harvard Business School, Deveshwar had also led Air India as chairman and managing director between 1991 and 1994.

When ITC split the role of the Executive Chairman between Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with effect from February 5, 2017, as part of succession planning in the company, Deveshwar continued as chairman in a non-executive capacity and played the role of mentor to the executive management led by Sanjiv Puri.

A recipient of Padma Bhushan -- one of the highest civilian awards in the country -- in 2011, Deveshwar also played his part in nation-building, taking up various roles in several institutions.

He served as a director on the Central Board of the Reserve Bank of India, as a member of the National Foundation for Corporate Governance and member of the governing body of the National Council of Applied Economic Research.

"Inspired by patriotic fervour, manifest in his clarion call of 'Lets Put India First', he led ITC's strategic thrust to create an exemplary Indian enterprise dedicated to serving national priorities," Puri said.

Deveshwar was also a member of the Board of Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and a member of the National Food Processing Development Council, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India.

Well respected by his peers in the industry, YCD, as he was popularly known in corporate circles, was also a past president of CII, besides being on the National Executive Committees of some of India's premier trade and industry bodies.

He also served as a member of the UK-India CEO Forum and US-India CEO Forum instituted by the respective governments.

Noted industry leader and ITC Chairman YC Deveshwar, who transformed the cigarette major into a diversified player with interests in FMCG, hospitality, IT and other sectors, passed away Saturday morning after a brief illness. Deveshwar (72), who stepped down from the executive role as chairman and CEO in 2017 but remained as a non-executive chairman, breathed his last at a private hospital in Gurugram. "We deeply mourn the passing away of Y C Deveshwar, Chairman ITC," ITC Managing Director Sanjiv Puri said in a statement. Deveshwar passionately championed the cause for sustainable and inclusive growth and the transformative role businesses could play in creating larger societal value. This vision drove ITC to pursue business models that today support over 6 million livelihoods, many amongst the weakest in society, Puri added. He leaves behind his wife and two children -- a son and a daughter. Deveshwar joined ITC in 1968 and was appointed as a director on ITC's board on April 11, 1984. He rose to become its chief executive and chairman on January 1, 1996.

Gurugram has been ranked the most polluted city in the world, while New Delhi is the most polluted national capital, according to a recent study conducted by environment NGO Greenpeace India.

According to the study 20 out of the 25 most-polluted cities across the world are in India.&nbsp;

New Delhi's neighbour regions Gurugram and Ghaziabad topped the charts while the capital city took the eleventh spot in the worldwide list in 2018.

The remaining five out of 25 most polluted cities in the world are spread in China, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The report measures the air quality in terms of PM2.5 data as aggregated through the IQAir AirVisual platform in 2018.

According to the information obtained during the study based on the PM2.5 data of the different cities in the world, report says that of the cities included in South Asia, it is interesting to note that, although Delhi typically receives most media coverage as one of the world’s 'pollution capitals', the Indian capital 'only' ranks 10th for annual PM2.5 concentration. Other cities across Northern India and Pakistan have a higher recorded annual PM2.5 level, with nearby Gurugram narrowly resulting in the highest annual concentration of any global city recorded here during 2018.

Persistent heavy rain have caused widespread disruption in India's major cities and severe floods in the rugged northeast have killed at least 12, the government said on Friday. 
 
About 50,000 from southern and eastern India had to be evacuated as storms pushed water levels to dangerous levels, damaging crops and causing more than 3,000 houses to collapse. 
 
Flooding, an annual problem during the monsoon season, has been worsened by crumbling civic infrastructure, clogged drains and uncontrolled urban expansion in a country with a fast-growing population of 1.3 billion.&nbsp; 
 
The rains triggered waterlogging and led to massive traffic jams in the city of Gurugram near capital New Delhi. 
 
Deputy police commissioner of Gurugram, T L Satyaprakash, had imposed prohibitory orders preventing gatherings of more than five near Hero Honda Chowk to ease the congestion as thousands of commuters were left stranded on the Gurgaon-Delhi Expressway and the National Highway-8 due to traffic jam. 
 
People vented their anger on social media after being stranded for up to 12 hours as traffic gridlock paralysed roads in the business hub of Gurugram near New Delhi. Trains were also delayed. 
 
"It took me four hours to drive 6 km (4 miles)," said Randeep Dev, a consultant at a private bank in New Delhi. "Our cities are a living hell in the monsoon." 
 
The city police said they have made detailed plans to avert a similar situation in the future. 
 
According to sources, the police force has been deployed in full strength 24*7 at 14 crucial points, mainly on the NH8 and NH-248A. 
 
"At each point, inspector rank officer have been deployed along with police personnel as per requirement of each spot," said the source. 
 
The fourteen points where the police personnel have been deployed are Hero Honda Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Jharsa Chowk, Signature Tower Chowk, IFFCO Chowk, Shankar Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Golf Course Extension Road intersection on Sohna Road, Main Chowk in Sohna, Maharana Pratap Chowk, Atul Kataria Chowk, IMT Manesar Chowk, HUDA City Center Station and its vicinity in all directions and Sector 31 red light. 
 
With major arterial roads leading to Gurgaon, including the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway and the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, witnessing massive traffic jams, leaving commuters stranded for hours, transport minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday directed National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) chairman Raghav Chandra to immediately send a team of officials to clear NH-8.&nbsp; 
 
Tracts of the southern technology hub of Bengaluru and the financial capital of Mumbai on the west coast were inundated by flood waters and sewage swirled in the streets. 
 
Fire officials in Bengaluru used boats to rescue people stranded near Electronics City which is home to technology firms and multinationals such as Infosys. 
 
Forecasters warned of a new round of heavy rains and flooding, as the government opened shelters and stepped up emergency rescue operations.

The United States President Donald Trump&#39;s son Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to arrive in Gurugram on Monday to endorse his luxurious residential project, the Trump Towers.

Trump Jr., who is the executive director of the Trump Organisation, will arrive on a Boeing 757, which is nicknamed as Trump Force One, The New York Times reported.

The major English daily, Hindustan Times published an advertisement on their front page of the newspaper on Saturday which read- &quot;Trump has arrived. Have you?&quot;

Advertisements inside the newspaper mentioned that anyone who agreed to buy a Trump property before February 21 will have a chance of &quot;a conversation and dinner&quot; with Trump Jr.

Trump Jr. is scheduled to speak at the Global Business Summit in Delhi, which will be held on February 23 and 24.

He will also visit Kolkata, where the construction of a project with 137 luxury units will begin soon.

In Mumbai, he will oversee a 78-story Trump Tower with 400 residences, which is under construction and is scheduled to be completed by next year.

Trump Jr. will also visit Pune, where a fourth Trump-branded project has been built.

In an interview last week, Trump Jr. stated that he had spent nearly a decade &quot;cultivating relationships in India&quot; and that his company was &quot;now seeing the response of that effort.&quot;

According to business partners in India, many units in the Trump Towers are selling about 30 percent per square foot higher than the current market rates. Trump Jr.&#39;s visit to India this week is expected to reinforce the trend.

Talking about his trip earlier this month, Trump Jr. said, &quot;India is such an incredible country and our brand has enjoyed tremendous success in the region for many years. This trip is a celebration of all we have achieved, including the launch of the Trump developments in Kolkata and Delhi which have been underway for many months.&quot;

&quot;The teams in India have been working very hard to deliver residences that are truly second to none and I am looking forward to visiting these spectacular projects very soon,&quot; he added.

India is Trump Organisation&#39;s biggest international market, with four real estate projects underway in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Gurugram.

The towers are being built by local partners- M3M, a National Capital Region (NCR) real estate company and Tribeca Developers of Mumbai.

The Trump development encompasses two towers with a total of 254 &quot;ultra luxury&quot; units, each selling for up to $1.5 million, according to the Trump Organisation.

Among other features of Trump Towers are a temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool, a spa and fitness centre, a fine-dining restaurant, business centre, and in-residence catering.

Trump Jr.&#39;s visit to India comes after his sister, Ivanka, visited Hyderabad in November last year to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit. (GES)
