The Punjab Mandi Board Tuesday withdrew its notifications through which it had earmarked 12 silos, all managed by private companies, as centres for sale-purchase, storage and processing of wheat this procurement season in nine districts of the state.

The report also points out that though Foxconn will get a jump in MacBook orders in 2018, Quanta will remain the largest MacBook supplier to Apple for the year. In 2017, the latter supplied nearly 80 per cent of MacBooks, according to the report.

Directed by Zack Snyder (and also, unfortunately, co-written by him), Rebel Moon 2 is the unnecessary sequel to Rebel Moon — Part One: The Child of Fire. It unfolds essentially like the third act of a larger story, but stretched to feature length — although, thankfully, it’s a few minutes shorter than its equally interminable predecessor. Having borrowed liberally from films such as Seven Samurai, Snyder seems to have confused himself into thinking that both Rebel Moon movies must be just as serious. And to achieve this self-imposed goal, he conducts the piece with such a heavy hand that it becomes overwhelming after a point. Rebel Moon 2 is the sort of film in which words aren’t spoken, they’re declared; the sort of film where archetypal characters don’t converse, they make speeches. It’s no wonder, then, that even when the climax beckons enticingly, you simply can’t bring yourself to care about anybody on screen.

The teaser starts with Ghantasala’s rendition of a verse from the Bhagavad Gita: “Whenever righteousness is threatened, unrighteousness is rampant, at such times in every eon I manifest myself.” We then get visuals of a hot-headed police officer (played by Pawan Kalyan) in action. Towards the end of the promo, the actor promises his “performance will be a blast.”
