Caterpillar Inc., the world's largest maker of earthmoving equipment, said Monday that it has created three new units to streamline manufacturing and development work, and announced that Vice President Jerry Palmer will retire.

Chief Executive Jim Owens reorganized the businesses to align products with common manufacturing and development processes. Owens has plants running at full capacity to meet demand for turbines used to power oil platforms and construction equipment sold in markets such as China.
Panaji, Oct 17: The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court has directed authorities not to grant new licences for any construction in the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) in the state.
The direction was given yesterday by a bench comprising justices R M S Khandeparkar and N A Britto on a petition filed by a north Goa organisation seeking restriction on new constructions to protect the environment in coastal areas.
The court said the order will remain in force till a survey and an inquiry is completed into the number of dwelling units and other constructions existing in the CRZ as on February 19, 1991, and the increase in their number thereafter.
It also asked authorities in the state to identify open plots in the CRZ for building hotels and to frame appropriate policy for their use before allowing any constructions in future.
