US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said there will be “a significant number of changes” in the H1B visa process before February 2026, when the new fee of USD 100,000 goes into effect, as he described as “just wrong” the idea of “inexpensive” tech consultants coming into the country and bringing their families.

The Trump administration this month announced a one-time fee of USD 100,000 for new H1B work visas, an order that will impact Indian professionals looking to work in the US on the temporary visas.

Standing behind US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office when the H1B proclamation was signed, Lutnick had then said that the USD 100,000 will be an annual fee for all H1B visas, including renewals and first-time applicants.

Amid widespread panic and chaos, the Trump administration clarified that the new fee requirement for H1B visas will not apply to current visa holders and is a one-time payment applicable only to new petitions.

Tension prevailed at Chennai airport on Monday (September 29) night after a frustrated driver rammed his car into the tollgate barrier after a long delay in parking fee collection.

According to the airport sources, the server at the airport toll plaza was down during the night, and the staff could not generate the parking fee slips. As a result, several vehicles were held up for more than ten minutes. One driver, waiting in his car, grew angry and began arguing with the toll staff. In the heat of the moment, the driver lost his temper and attempted to drive through by smashing the toll barrier.

The staff, however, blocked his vehicle and alerted the airport police. The staff explained that the barrier was damaged and initially demanded Rs 7,500 as a penalty. The driver argued that he had already been kept waiting due to the system failure and claimed staff had spoken to him rudely.

BJP president JP Nadda has formed a delegation of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs to visit Karur to probe the circumstances leading to a stampede and submit a report.

The BJP generally sends its own leaders to the sites of tragic incidents for an inquiry, but this time, the party has included MPs from its allies–Shiv Sena and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) –in the eight-member committee, in an apparent messaging about the importance it attaches to its partners.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Mathura and actor Hema Malini, who is a Tamil, is the convenor of the delegation, and its members include Shiv Sena’s Shrikant Shinde and TDP’s Putta Mahesh Kumar.

Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the Karur stampede.

Joining BJP, PMK and AMMK, which had already sought a CBI probe into the tragedy, Palaniswami said the people of Tamil Nadu had no faith in the State government’s inquiry into the incident and insisted on the need for a central agency’s investigation to throw light on what happened that led to the death of innocent lives.

He pointed to questions raised by the public over lapses in allotting the venue, the DMK’s “routine ambulance politics, and video footage of lathicharge. “Are these rumours?” Palaniswami asked in a social media post, countering Chief Minister MK Stalin’s video message that urged people to desist from spreading “irresponsible and malicious” conspiracy theories.
