Additionally, the chief minister said that more than 14,000 Common Service Centres (CSCs) at the village level have been integrated with the system.
The chief minister also emphasised the need to implement a revision of the state's land law, which restricts the sale of agricultural and horticultural land in 11 districts. Of the 13 districts in Uttarakhand, Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar districts have been exempted from the stringent amendments to the land law.

Dominik Hašek calls Trump 'the weakest president' and Putin 'a criminal' after Kyiv drone attack
NHL legend Dominik Hašek says Trump enabled Putin's attack on Ukraine. (Getty Images) You don't usually expect brutal political takedowns to come from NHL legends, but Dominik Hašek just changed the game. The Hall of Fame goalie, once known for stopping slapshots, is now stopping short of calling Trump a war enabler. After Donald Trump reportedly chatted with Vladimir Putin , Russia launched over 500 drones and missiles into Ukraine's capital, injuring dozens. Hašek's response? A firestorm tweet calling Trump 'the weakest president' and accusing him of helping Putin's 'imperialist goals.' Yeah. This wasn't just shade, it was a direct hit. Dominik Hašek didn't hold back: 'Trump is doing everything he can to help Putin' The timing was too perfect and too horrifying. Just hours after Trump's phone call with Putin, Russian forces unleashed a terrifying assault on Kyiv. Buildings exploded. Children were hurt. Civilians ran for cover. And Dominik Hašek didn't stay quiet. 'The weakest president! @realDonaldTrump chatted with the biggest criminal of the 21st century, Putin, and he immediately sent more than 500 drones and ballistic missiles to the Ukrainian capital, Kiev… Trump is doing everything he can to help Putin in his imperialist goals… Despicable.' This isn't Hašek's first rodeo when it comes to Putin and politics Hašek has been one of the most vocal global athletes speaking out against Russia's invasion of Ukraine since 2022. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo He's labeled the war 'imperialist,' demanded bans for Russian athletes who stay silent, and directly criticized international sports organizations for giving Putin a platform. He even called out the NHL for 'cowardice' over its continued inclusion of Russian players, saying silence equals support. He says Trump's call emboldened Putin and now kids are suffering The latest drone strike wasn't just any attack, it was one of the largest assaults on Kyiv in months. According to Ukrainian authorities, 539 drones and 11 ballistic missiles were launched, causing massive destruction and multiple injuries, including children. For Hašek, that kind of horror isn't accidental, it's the consequence of weak leadership. 'Trump has proven more than once that he is indifferent to the Ukrainian people,' Hašek wrote. 'Despicable.' Things got darker: Russian officials reportedly threatened Hašek for speaking up Earlier this year, Hašek revealed that Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president had allegedly sent him death threats in response to his activism. In one chilling message, Medvedev reportedly hinted that Hašek should take his own life. The Czech government took it seriously. Prime Minister Petr Fiala publicly backed Hašek, condemning the threats and offering him protection. But instead of backing down, Hašek went louder, filing formal complaints and urging the IOC and NHL to stop giving Russia a global stage. This isn't just a former athlete popping off on social media. Hašek is leading a charge demanding accountability from sports leagues, politicians, and fans. He's not trying to win popularity points. He's calling Trump 'despicable.' He's calling Putin 'the biggest criminal of the 21st century.' And he's pushing the sports world to wake up and pick a side.

Make J&K dry like Gujarat: Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz
SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq called Friday for J&K to be made a 'dry state like Gujarat' as he opposed authorities' move to open more liquor shops, claiming such steps were 'a deliberate attempt to push our youths further into addiction'. 'J&K is a Muslim-majority region and sale and consumption of liquor is against Islam's tenets,' Mirwaiz said during Friday prayers at Srinagar's Jamia Masjid. The trigger was a protest the previous day by locals in Srinagar's Batmaloo against the opening of a liquor shop in the area that had not seen such outlets for decades. 'If Gujarat can be declared a dry state, there is no reason why J&K should be exempted,' Mirwaiz said. This was the first call to protest in recent months on any issue from Mirwaiz, who is also chief cleric of Kashmir and has been put in home detention ahead of Friday prayers on many occasions in the past few months. Mirwaiz urged the state's Omar Abdullah-led National Conference govt and lieutenant-governor Manoj Sinha to check the trend. 'If govt does not act, we will be forced to protest. This isn't a minor issue,' Mirwaiz said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Authorities have linked the new liquor licences and shops to a spurt in tourism since the 2019 abrogation of J&K's special status under Article 370. In the case of Batmaloo, excise officials claimed the shop, now shut after the agitation, was not a new one and had been only relocated from another area. Despite such opposition, J&K's alcohol sales are on the rise. The Omar-led govt's economic survey earlier this year estimated excise revenues at Rs 2,000 crore in 2024-25, up 4% over the previous year. Mirwaiz rejected the argument that liquor sales were necessary for tourism, pointing out that J&K had welcomed visitors for centuries without promoting alcohol. 'Has J&K become a tourist spot only after 2019 (Article 370 abrogation)? For hundreds of years, tourists have visited us but liquor was never promoted on this scale in every locality,' Mirwaiz said. Drawing a comparison with Gujarat, Mirwaiz stressed that alcohol was banned there due to its impact on society and asked why similar concerns were not valid for J&K. 'Don't we have a society? Don't we have to live here, too,' Mirwaiz said. According to him, over 1 lakh people in J&K are already affected by drug addiction and govt's fillip to alcohol sales will only aggravate the crisis. Some local Kashmiri Pandits led by an activist, Sandeep Mawa, had recently demanded a ban on liquor sales in the Valley. In March this year, PDP MLA Fayaz Ahmad Mir had introduced a private member's bill seeking such a ban across J&K. But the bill was not taken up for discussion or voting in the assembly. BJP, too, has expressed support for the ban, with former J&K party chief Ravinder Raina having led protests on the issue earlier.
