Abduction in California
Authorities in California reported the abduction of an Indian-origin family, including an 8-month-old girl, by an armed and dangerous suspect. The incident took place at a business location, with limited details released due to the ongoing investigation. The search for the family continues after finding one victim's truck on fire in a rural area. This unfortunate event brings back memories of a similar case in 2019 when an Indian-origin individual was found dead after being kidnapped from his home.
Green Card Extension
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has extended the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards) to 24 months for individuals renewing their cards. This extension aims to assist applicants facing longer processing times by providing proof of lawful permanent resident status. The USCIS has updated its procedures to streamline the renewal process and ensure continued status for applicants awaiting their new Green Cards.
Financial Viability of Election Promises
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has urged political parties to provide authentic information to voters regarding the financial feasibility of their election promises. The ECI emphasizes the importance of transparent disclosures to ensure the sustainability of the promises made in election manifestos. By standardizing disclosure formats, the ECI aims to empower voters to make informed decisions based on the financial implications of political commitments.
