MUMBAI: Today's Dussehra rally in Mumbai marks a significant political event as rival factions of the Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray, hold separate gatherings following their party split. Thackeray's faction will convene at Shivaji Park, a traditional venue since the late 1960s, while Shinde's group will rally at Azad Maidan. Both events will feature speeches from the leaders, alongside festivities despite potential muddy conditions from recent rains. Ahead of the rallies, both factions released provocative teasers highlighting their political messaging.

Published: Oct 12 2024, 9 ameznews.inAn investigation by India's antitrust authority has revealed that food delivery giants Zomato and Swiggy have violated competition laws by engaging in practices that favour certain restaurant chains. According to confidential documents from the Competition Commission of India (CCI), Zomato established "exclusivity contracts" with partners for lower commissions, while Swiggy promised business growth to restaurants that agreed to list exclusively on its platform. These arrangements hinder market competitiveness, as noted by the CCI's investigation arm. The inquiry, initiated in 2022 following a complaint from the National Restaurant Association of India, highlights how the platforms pressured restaurants to maintain price parity, limiting their ability to offer competitive pricing elsewhere. A final decision from the CCI regarding potential penalties or changes to the companies' practices is pending and could take several weeks, with both firms retaining the right to contest the findings.
