NEW DELHI, Feb 5: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sithraman presented the Government of Jammu and Kashmir's Revised Estimates for 2023–24 and Interim Budget for 2024–25 to the Parliament today. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will discuss the two appropriation bills on the Supplementary Budget for 2023–24 and the Vote on Account for 2024–25 in this regard. The UT Finance Department had created the Interim Budget for the upcoming fiscal year as well as the Supplementary Budget for the present one. In order to do this, the Department evaluated the UT government's revenue receipts from stamp duty, motor spirit tax, excise, and GST. Additionally, non-tax income from the sale of timber, mining royalties, electricity and water supplies, annual rent from industrial areas, etc., was also looked at. The UT government's own revenue is projected to be Rs. 20,867 crore. The Government of UT also pursued the Government of India to obtain government funding. The UT's efforts in this regard were spearheaded by Chief Secretary Shri Atal Dulloo and Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha. To assess these demands of the UT Government, important meetings were held in the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Finance in August 2023, October 2023, and January 2024. In recent months, the Union Home Minister and Union Finance Minister personally examined the UT Government's financial management. Consequently, the Central Government has committed to giving the UT Government ₹41751.44 Cr during this fiscal year and ₹ 37277.74 Cr during the following fiscal year. The Union Government's Revised Estimates for 2023–2024 and Budget Estimates for 2024–2025 accurately reflect these aid levels. This support will be given in accordance with MHA Demand No. 58 for Support to the UT. This help covers the UT government's regular support (resource gap) as well as the equity contribution for hydropower projects at Kiru, Kwar, and Rattle, among other things. These aid amounts are included in the Union Budget, which is currently before Parliament and will be discussed prior to the UT's interim budget.Building on this, the Jammu and Kashmir government created its Vote on Account for 2024–25 and Supplementary Budget for 2023–24. The two appropriation bills—the vote on account and the supplementary demands—that were to be presented to parliament were also written by the finance department. Since the UT government was able to reduce its spending, the updated estimates for 2023–24 are generally less than the budgeted predictions for that year. ₹8,712.90 Cr in supplemental requests for 2023–24 are related to the four departments of cooperatives, power development, hospitality and protocol, and finance.The supplementary budget is required by Finance department in view of the repayment of…
PUNE: Mohan Bhagwat, the president of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), referred to the consecration of Ram Lalla's idol at the Ayodhya temple on January 22 as a brave act that was made possible by God's will and blessings on Monday. Speaking at the Gita Bhakti Amrit Mahotsav at Alandi, in the Pune region of Maharashtra, Bhagwat added that Bharat must rise to its responsibilities and that the world will face destruction very soon if it does not become "samarth" (able). After much fighting, he said that "Ram Lalla arrived on January 22" and that it was a brave deed."It is a blessing for the present generation to have Ram Lalla in his place. It's actually happened, he remarked, not only because everyone worked for it but also because of God's blessings and desire. Bhagwat added that he felt lucky to be there for the ceremony. He asserted that Bharatvarsh must ascend since the world requires it. "The world will have to confront destruction very soon if Bharat fails to develop or become capable. This is the typical state of affairs. Global intellectuals are aware of this. On this, they are writing and saying," he remarked. Bhagwat continued, "Bharat has to rise to deliver its duty." Spiritual leader Shri Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj is celebrating his 75th birthday with a major event known as the Gita Bhakti Amrit Mahotsav, which is organised by Geeta Pariwar.

PESHAWAR, Feb 5: Prior to the country's general elections on February 8, heavily armed militants attacked a police station in northwest Pakistan on Monday, resulting in the deaths of at least ten police officers and the injuries of six more. According to a senior police official in Dera Ismail Khan division, the event happened at the Chodwan police station in Daraban tehsil in the Dera Ismail Khan region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. As of yet, no group has taken ownership of the assault. District Police Officer Nasir Mehmood stated, "We lost ten of our jawans, while six others were injured in the ambush carried out by heavily armed terrorists."With grenades and heavy gunfire, the terrorists stormed the police station from all sides. According to police, the terrorists were able to flee despite the police's retaliatory actions. The quick response force has arrived with extra force, they claimed, and the forces have sealed off the area and begun a search operation. The attack raised additional security concerns for the general elections in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, which have already seen terror attacks and violence during polling. Arshad Hussain, the caretaker chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,meanwhile, denounced the attack on the police station and offered his sympathies to the victims' families. Such cowardice cannot weaken the commitment of law enforcement to combat terrorists, he said.

New Delhi, Feb 5: The Election Commission requested on Monday that political parties refrain from using minors in any way during the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, including through the distribution of flyers and brochures or sloganeering. The poll panel expressed its "zero tolerance" for parties and candidates using minors in any way throughout the election process in a letter to the parties. According to the poll watchdog, political figures and candidates should refrain from using kids in any way when running for office, including holding them in their arms, transporting them in cars, or using them at rallies.This ban includes using kids to pretend to be in a political campaign in any way, such as through spoken words, poetry, music, or the exhibition of a political party or candidate's emblem, the EC stated in a statement. It stated, however, that the simple fact that a child is with their parent or guardian while they are near a political figure who is not engaged in any political party election campaigns will not be seen as a breach of the rules. In light of the upcoming parliamentary elections, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar has repeatedly underlined the critical role that political parties play as the EC's primary stakeholders and urged them to actively participate in defending democratic norms.
