<h1>Nineteen states sue over new H-1B visa fee as lawmakers move to roll back India tariff hikes</h1> Nineteen US states have filed a lawsuit challenging the federal administration's imposition of a USD 100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions, alleging the rule is unlawful and exacerbates labour shortages in key sectors. Separately, three US legislators introduced a congressional resolution seeking to terminate 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports imposed under the previous administration, criticizing the tariff strategy as counterproductive.

Other reported events, including a building fire, a structural collapse, and health-related disclosures by public officials, primarily involve emergency response and regulatory compliance rather than immediate legal proceedings.
