Himachal CM Sukhu announces Rs 1,500 per month to all women in 18-60 age group from April

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Monday announced that his government will give Rs 1,500 per month to women in the age group of 18 to 60 years from the the 2024-25 financial year, fulfilling one of the 10 ‘guarantees’ promised by the Congress ahead of the assembly polls.

“Every woman above the age of 18 will get Rs 1,500 under the Indira Gandhi Pyari Behna Sukh Samman Nidhi Yojna. We will spend Rs 800 crore on the initiative annually and over five lakh women would be covered under it,” Sukhu said.

“With this announcement, we have fulfilled five out of the 10 election guarantees. I personally wanted to announce this scheme on the day when the state’s Budget was passed, but due to the ruckus in the Assembly, dropped the idea.

This scheme will benefit every family in the state,” the CM said, adding his government had initiated the first phase of the scheme from February 1, providing Rs 1,500 to the women in Lahaul- Spiti district, and is now expanding it across state.

The opposition BJP, however, termed the announcement as another “lie”, with Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur saying there was no provision of providing Rs 1,500 monthly to women in the Budget passed recently.

Virbhadra Singh was against installing statues on the ridge, former mayor Sanjay Chauhan’s claim created panic

Virbhadra Singh was against installing statues on ridge

Shimla: While on one hand there is a stir within the Congress government regarding the installation of the statue of former Chief Minister late Virbhadra Singh on the historic Ridge Ground of Shimla, on the other hand, the claim of CPI (M) leader Sanjay Chauhan, who was the Mayor of Shimla Municipal Corporation, has created a stir.

Sanjay Chauhan has said that when he was Mayor, there was a demand in Shimla city that the statue of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar should be shifted from Chauda Maidan to Ridge Maidan.

Seeing the demand of the people, when the Mayor talked to the then Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh about this, Virbhadra Singh said that no more statues should be installed on the historic Ridge ground. This place cannot be made a museum.

Sanjay Chauhan says that that is why after that he had proposed to install the statue of Bhagat Singh in Summer Hill Chowk and that of Swami Vivekananda in Baluganj Chowk. These statues have also not been installed yet.

On the other hand, if we talk about the government, his son minister Vikramaditya Singh had offered to resign in a press conference, accusing it of not giving space to install Virbhadra Singh’s statue at the Ridge Maidan.

After this, now Education Minister Rohit Thakur has made the same demand for his grandfather Thakur Ramlal. He has said that he is not in favor of installing individual statues, but if the statue of one Chief Minister will be installed, then why not that of another?

Cabinet discusses batchwise recruitment, application on JBT-Shastri will be made in High Court first

JBT-Shastri Cabinet discusses batchwise recruitment

Shimla: The issue of batchwise recruitment to the posts of TGT, JBT and Shastri in the Education Department was discussed in the cabinet meeting held last Saturday. Education Minister Rohit Thakur had raised this issue as an informal discussion. However, the agenda note was not included.

In the same discussion, the cabinet was informed that the list of TGT is ready, but in the case of JBT and Shastri, appointment cannot be given without taking permission from the High Court. The cabinet thought that permission should be obtained by first applying to the High Court.

Then after that the appointment list should be released simultaneously in all three cadres. Therefore, the Advocate General has been asked to file this application in the week starting from Monday.

Considering the stance of the High Court, the government will take the next decision on this. If permission is obtained from the High Court, the Cabinet can also approve it in the next meeting.

On the other hand, thousands of candidates selected in counseling are afraid of the danger of their jobs getting stuck in the code of conduct of Lok Sabha elections.

In fact, after the implementation of the Code of Conduct, the chances of them being given appointments are less. The Election Commission of India does not normally give such permission.

This is the reason why these candidates want the list to be released soon. About 2500 candidates are to get jobs on batch wise basis in the three categories of JBT, Shastri, and TGT.

The electrician-veterinary pharmacist also waiting

The Cabinet has approved the appointment of an Ayurvedic Medical Officer selected from the Public Service Commission in September 2023. Some changes have also been made in the appointment formula.

They will get an appointment before the implementation of the Lok Sabha Election Code of Conduct, but the Veterinary Pharmacist in Animal Husbandry Department and the Electrician in Electricity Board are still waiting for the appointment.

Their examination results were also declared in September and October and the concerned departments have also completed the documentation process, but the appointments have not been received yet.
