✅Increased Transit Fees: Drought in Panama has led to reduced ship capacity through the canal, resulting in increased fees for U.S. vessels.
✅Treaty Details: The Torrijos-Carter Treaties of 1977 transferred the canal to Panama on December 31, 1999, while also guaranteeing U.S. right of transit in case of military emergencies.

Critical Minerals

✅A mineral is labelled as critical when the risk of supply shortage and associated impact on the economy is relatively higher than the other raw materials.
✅The risk of supply shortage would ideally capture import dependence, recycling potential, and substitutability of these minerals.

✅The Centre for Socio and Economic Progress (CSEP) in its paper “Assessing the Criticality of Minerals in India” (2023) evaluated the criticality of minerals in India based on two dimensions:
🔸economic importance for the Indian economy and
🔸supply risks.

📌 J.V.P COMMITTEE.

#Unionanditsterritories

🔸️ Dhar commission report created much resentment and led to the appointment of another Linguistic Provinces Committee by the Congress in December, 1948, itself to examine the whole question afresh.

🔸️ It consisted of Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallahbhai Patel and Pattabhi Sitaramayya and hence, was popularly known as JVP Committee.

🔸️ It submitted its report in April, 1949, and formally rejected language as the basis for reorganisation of states.

🔸️ However, in October, 1953, the Government of India was forced to create the first linguistic state, known as Andhra state, by separating the Telugu speaking areas from the Madras state.

🔸️ This followed a prolonged popular agitation and the death of Potti Sriramulu, a Congress person of standing, after a 56-day hunger strike for the cause.
