CLB asks Mukta Arts to respond to government
MUMBAI: Mukta Arts, promoted by Bollywood director-producer Subhash Ghai, has been asked to respond to the application forwarded by the Indian government to the Company Law Board (CLB) seeking permission to investigate the company’s affairs.
The Small Investor Protection Forum had filed a complaint against the company in June 2001 alleging that there were certain discrepancies in the IPO, issue of bonus shares, relationships with scam-tainted brokers and other people who were charged with dubious delaings.
The Hindu Business Line dated 26 February 2003 says Mukta Arts has been given a deadline of 15 March by the CLB and the government has been asked to respond to the company by 1 April.
The government has moved the application under section 237 of the Companies Act, 1956. The application says that the company management had conducted business in an inappropriate manner hurting the interests of the shareholders and creditors. The government used the report of the inspecting officer who carried out the inspection as per Section 209A of the act.
Meanwhile, the scrip opened today at Rs 60.9 on the BSE and Rs 60.25 on the NSE.

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
