New Delhi [India], May 31 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers were detained by the Delhi police for protesting against the BJP-led Delhi government over the issue of Mahila Samridhi Yojana 2025.
Earlier, on March 8, Union Minister and BJP president JP Nadda launched the Mahila Samridhi Yojana, a direct cash transfer scheme for Delhi's women on March 8.
Addressing a public event on the occasion of International Women's Day in the national capital, Nadda said that the Mahila Samridhi Yojana, to give Rs 2500 to women in Delhi, has been approved today.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, the Delhi Government, led by CM Rekha Gupta, celebrated the completion of 100 days of its government in the national capital. CM Gupta participated in the '100 Din Seva Ke' program on the occasion.
The Delhi CM tore into her predecessor, saying that they had claimed to be common people who became greedy for power, while her government was working on the streets among the people.
'When the movement started from Ramlila Maidan, thousands and lakhs of people joined it, I joined too, others also joined...Everyone supported it, thinking something better would happen in Delhi and the country. Those people who used to say that they are not greedy for power became so greedy that they could not see anything except power...My cabinet, our MLAs, all the public representatives continuously work on the streets among the people...'
The Delhi CM also criticised the previous AAP government for questioning the valour of the Armed Forces. The Delhi CM tore into her predecessor, saying that they had claimed to be common people who became greedy for power, while her government was working on the streets among the people.

Amid complaints of lack of cooperation by officials, UP CM Yogi Adityanath holds dialogue with MPs, MLAs

Amid complaints of lack of cooperation by officials on the ground, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday called a meeting with the MPs, MLAs and officials concerned from Kanpur, Chitrakoot and Jhansi divisions before giving approvals to development projects and schemes in their areas. The idea behind such a meeting, referred to as 'mandalwar samvad' (divisional dialogue), is to hold discussion with the public representatives before giving shape to projects and schemes in their constituencies, sources said. Similar division-level meetings will be held in the future, an official said. The move is being seen as an attempt by the Chief Minister to resolve purported differences between officials and public representatives at the grassroots level in the run-up to the upcoming panchayat elections and the 2027 Assembly polls in the state. In the meeting, which was held at the CM's official residence in Lucknow, projects worth Rs 4,901 crore were finalised for Jhansi division, projects worth Rs 3,875 crore for Chitrakoot division and about projects worth Rs 10,914 crore were okayed for six districts of Kanpur division, it is learnt. Officials said public representatives were given the opportunity to propose schemes and projects for their areas, on which discussion was held over their viability and other issues. The projects proposed by the MLAs included that of road connectivity, irrigation, logistical hubs and approach roads to religious places. 'During the meeting, the Chief Minister asked the officials to take the opinion of the public representatives before finalising the projects for their constituencies and areas. While he asked the public representatives to monitor the implementation of government schemes in their areas and ensure their proper implementation,' said a senior official. 'He took feedback from the MLAs and MPs about the ground situation, administrative coordination and public expectations in their constituencies,' he added. The Chief Minister also directed the officials to ensure that the names of local representatives are engraved on the foundation or inauguration stones of development projects, he said. In the past, many public representatives, including ministers, have raised concern over lack of cooperation by officials in the implementation of projects or resolution of public grievances in their constituencies. 'Officials were given instructions by the Chief Minister keeping in view the issues raised by the public representatives. It is a healthy exercise as we as public representatives approach officials with the public issues so that things change on the ground,' said an MLA, who attended the meeting on Sunday.

How much salary is paid by bankrupt Pakistan to Army Chief Asim Munir? The amount is SHOCKING! It is Rs…, is it more than Indian Army Chief's salary?

Asim Munir (File) Pakistan Army Chief Salary: Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, who elevated himself to the position of Field Marshal after falsely proclaiming 'victory' in the recent India-Pakistan conflict, is the de-facto ruler of the country, while the civilian government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is little more than a puppet regime, designed to be subservient to the Army. But how much does Field Marshal Asim Munir officially earn in monthly salary? Let us find out. What is the salary of Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir? Its an open secret that the Pakistan economy is in complete ruin, yet its Army, especially the top brass live a lavish lifestyle comparable to the world's richest, while the masses struggle to find two square meals a day. In terms of salary, Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir receives a monthly salary of PKR 250,000, which is equivalent to about Rs. 75,000, a meagre amount compared to his Indian counterpart General Anil Chauhan, who earns a monthly salary of Rs 250,000, which equals to about 8.25 lakh in Pakistan Rupee (PKR). Thus, the Indian Army Chief earns three times more salary than the Pakistan Army Chief, showcasing the vast gulf in the economic strength of the two countries. Does Asim Munir get any additional facilities after Field Marshal elevation? While Asim Munir's salary remains the same, the post of Field Marshal is considered the highest in any army, and thus accompanied by a multitude of perks and facilities. The new title comes with top-of-the-line facilities including a posh government bungalow, additional security, cars, medical facilities, and lifelong pension. Notably, Army Chief is considered the most powerful figure in Pakistan, even ahead of the Prime Minister, and this was evident when US President Donald Trump recently hosted Asim Munir for a luncheon at the White House, a privilege usually reserved for Heads of State. Meanwhile, apart from the salary, the Pakistan Army chief enjoys certain other perks that accompany the top post, including free membership in elite clubs, a lavish private bungalow, additional security, government-funded transport, Additionally, the Pakistan Army owns several businesses as a corporation, including dairy and transport firms, which adds to the income of Army Chief General Asim Munir and other top brass of the Pakistan Army.

Udaipur Files row: Producer Amit Jani accorded CRPF Y-category security; had alleged threats to his life

Amit Jani (Image courtesy: X) NEW DELHI: The central government on Sunday provided Y- CRPF security to Amit Jani, the producer of the upcoming film Udaipur Files, following his claims of threats to his life. The security cover will be applicable in both Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, officials told news agency ANI. Jani, who also heads the Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena, a right-wing outfit, expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah for the decision. "Heartfelt thanks to honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and home minister Shri Amit Shah ji for providing Y-category security from the Center," he wrote on X. Udaipur Files is based on the 2022 killing of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, Rajasthan — a murder which drew national outrage. Originally scheduled to release on July 11, the film ran into legal and censorship issues. It will now release on August 8. The Delhi high Court dad earlier stayed Udaipur Files' release despite censor board clearance, citing potential risks to communal harmony.
