Employment policy for pvt sector on anvil, says Babush
Revenue minister Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate said govt is in the process of drafting an employment policy for the private sector. He noted that creating reservations in the private sector is unconstitutional and asked Centre to clarify the source of Goa's unemployment data.
He said that show-cause notices have been issued to companies operating in Goa that have not advertised jobs in the state, and cases have been filed. He also said govt has written to Union govt to provide an additional model career centre in South Goa.
'A task force committee has been constituted to draft an employment policy in the private sector,' he said.
Chief minister Pramod Sawant said a labour mandi would be established to regulate the earnings for daily-wage workers.
Monserrate addressed a range of other matters in the House. He indicated that govt is contemplating linking the Aadhaar number with the survey number so that any issues related to land will sound an alert. He also said govt is in the process of streamlining the procedure to regularise structures. On ease of doing business, he said govt has started a single-window system to grant permissions.
Moreover, he said, to make processes easy for citizens too, most of the revenue department's services are now online, and he envisions making the department citizen-friendly so that people can avail themselves of the services under a single platform.

SC agrees to examine plea to repeal Bodh Gaya temple law
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to examine a plea for repealing the Bodh Gaya Temple Act, 1949 and replacing it with a central law for the proper control, management and administration of Mahabodhi temple in Bihar. The Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Bihar's Bodh Gaya, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the four holy areas related to the life of Lord Gautam Buddha. Bodh Gaya is a place where Lord Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment. The plea, which has also challenged the validity of the 1949 Act, came up for hearing before a bench of Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh. The petitioner's counsel said a plea with identical prayers was pending in the apex court. The bench issued notice to the Centre and others seeking their responses on the petition and tagged it for hearing along with the pending plea. The plea has sought to declare the 1949 Act as unconstitutional alleging it was "inconsistent" with Article 13 of the Constitution. Article 13 relates to laws inconsistent with or in derogation of the fundamental rights. The petition has also sought a direction to the authorities concerned to remove encroachments made in the premises of the Bodh Gaya temple for the exclusive worship of Buddhists around the world in order to manage, control and administer the religious, faith, belief and worship in the interest of justice. On June 30, the apex court refused to entertain a separate plea challenging the vires of the 1949 Act and asked the petitioner to moved high court concerned. The 1949 Act relates to the better management of the temple. The Mahabodhi Temple Complex comprises a 50-metre high grand temple, the Vajrasana, the sacred Bodhi tree and six other sacred sites of Buddha's enlightenment, surrounded by numerous ancient votive stupas, well maintained and protected by inner, middle and outer circular boundaries. A seventh sacred place, the Lotus Pond, is located outside the enclosure to the south. Both the temple area and the Lotus Pond are surrounded by circulating passages at two or three levels, and the area of the ensemble is 5 metres below the level of the surrounding land.

India left with ‘no friends': Farooq Abdullah on Trump's 25% tariff; says US now closer to Pakistan
NEW DELHI: Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Farooq Abdullah has raised concerns over India's dwindling diplomatic ties, following US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian goods. The National Conference (NC) president said that India is left with 'no friends' on the global stage and is becoming isolated. He further claimed that Trump's administration is warming up to Pakistan at India's expense. Abdullah criticised India's approach towards its neighbours, warning that the country's posture of dominance may be doing more harm than good. "We have no friends left, even our neighbours are not our friends. What we have tried to do is to show that we are stronger than they are, rather than thinking that all of us have to be together. That's why Indira Gandhi created SAARC, which aimed to bring all nations closer to us. It was meant to think about the economic issues and how to sort them out," Abdullah told ANI. He further alleged that the US had turned overtly friendly towards Pakistan, offering it economic benefits while pressuring India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo "Suddenly, Trump has become much more friendly with Pakistan. They want us not to take Russian oil. Yet they have promised Pakistan they will send crude (oil) to them and refine it, leading to their prices of petrol and diesel to come down. Already, China is behind them," he further added. Abdullah attributed the economic tussle, including the depreciation of the rupee, to what he called a problem between the two leaders, Donald Trump and PM Narendra Modi. "It is a problem between the two leaders - Trump and Modi. They are both strong leaders, and that is why they don't want to bow down to each other. The nation suffers in that. We have a 25 per cent tariff on our goods going to America, plus an additional penalty. In the process, the rupee is falling and the dollar is rising. This is affecting everyone," Abdullah argued. Trump, meanwhile, signalled that the US is still open to dialogue on the issue of tariffs. Responding to a query by ANI, the US President said, "We're talking to them now. We'll see what happens. Again, India was the highest or just about the highest tariff nation in the world, one of the highest, 100 points, 150 points or percentages. So India was one of the highest in the world. They had 175 per cent and higher than that." The statement came during a press conference at the White House, where Trump signed a Congressional bill into law. He also reiterated that India's high tariffs had long been a point of contention for the US. Following the announcement of the new tariffs and penalties for India's purchase of Russian oil, Trump also took to his social media platform Truth Social, "I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.' 'We have done very little business with India; their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world," he further added.
