With the BJP and the Left parties having strong reservations over the nuclear liability bill, Government faces an uphill task in getting the measure approved in Parliament this week.

A crucial bill that provides for compensation in case of a nuclear accident is slated to be introduced in the Lok Sabha today, a move that is expected to give more fodder to the Opposition to attack the government.

The Obama Administration has said it is "pleased" with the Indian government's decision to go ahead with a bill on nuclear liability in Parliament

The landmark Indo-US Civil nuclear deal will boost bilateral economic ties and address "shared concerns" on energy security and climate change amid deepening strategic relations, according to India's envoy to the US.

Describing the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal as a game changer for bilateral ties, the Obama Administration has said the remaining steps of the historic accord are expected to be completed in the next few months.
