UP govt to raise monthly honorarium of 60,000 village watchmen by Rs 1,000
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 12 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh government is set to increase the monthly honorarium of around 60,000 village watchmen, or gram praharis, by Rs 1,000, starting October 13. The proposed increase will raise their monthly honorarium from Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,500, marking a 40 per cent hike. Each village watchman will receive an additional Rs 12,000 annually following the increase. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to announce the decision during an event in Bareilly on October 13. The Chief Minister is also scheduled to felicitate village watchmen at the Bareilly Police Lines during the programme. The move comes after the state government raised the honorarium of cooks, Anganwadi workers and panchayat assistants in recent months. The government is now preparing to provide financial relief to village watchmen, who form an important link in the rural policing and information network. Attached to local police stations, village watchmen relay information about suspicious activities, local disputes, and law-and-order issues to the police. They also help maintain communication between villages and police stations. They have been demanding an increase in their honorarium, and the proposed announcement is expected to address that demand. With an estimated 60,000 village watchmen across the state, the proposed hike is expected to impose an additional financial burden of around Rs 7 crore per month and Rs 84 crore annually on the state exchequer. Funds for the increase are likely to be provided for in a supplementary budget. The government has taken similar decisions to increase the earnings of other categories of workers receiving an honorarium or allowance. The monthly honorarium of around 3.53 lakh cooks preparing midday meals in government-run basic education schools has been increased from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. The honorarium of Anganwadi workers has been raised by Rs 4,000 per month, while that of Anganwadi helpers has been increased by Rs 2,000 per month. Similarly, the monthly honorarium of more than 57,000 panchayat assistants has been raised from Rs 6,000 to Rs 9,000. The daily allowance of Provincial Guards (Prantiya Rakshak Dal) volunteers has also been increased from Rs 500 to Rs 600. Separately, the government is considering increasing monthly pensions for senior citizens, destitute women and persons with disabilities from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500. The proposal, which has received in-principle approval from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is likely to be placed before the state Cabinet in the second half of November. The schemes currently cover more than 67 lakh senior citizens, 42 lakh destitute women and 12 lakh persons with disabilities. If approved, beneficiaries would receive an additional Rs 6,000 annually.
Taking a swipe at Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his 'vote chori' allegations, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that time has come for the Congress to change its 'distrustful' leadership.

Emphasising that internal disagreements should be resolved through dialogue rather than public confrontations, the parliamentarian stressed the importance of democratic decorum within political parties. Disputes can occur, but one should present their views on the platform rather than fighting on it like this... I condemn this, he added.

Digital Desk | Agartala, Oct 11 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Sunday that the state government is strengthening healthcare infrastructure across the state, with drug rehabilitation centres being set up in various districts and work progressing rapidly on a facility at Bishramganj in Sepahijala district. The Chief Minister also added that the number of patients referred to hospitals outside Tripura had declined by around 80 per cent, reflecting improvements in the state's healthcare services. CM Saha, who also holds the Health and Family Welfare portfolio, said this while launching the 'Emicizumab for All Persons with Severe Haemophilia A in Tripura' programme at the Nursing College in the Agartala Government Dental College and Indira Gandhi Memorial (IGM) hospital complex here. Speaking at the programme, the Chief Minister described the initiative as a significant step towards improving treatment facilities for people suffering from severe haemophilia A. He said that he had been associated with the Haemophilia Society for a long time. Emicizumab treatment for haemophilia patients has already been introduced in several states, including Uttar Pradesh and Kerala, he added. Chief Minister Saha said the state government had also launched the 'Mask Campaign' after assuming office, keeping in mind the health and future of children. The ninth phase of the campaign would begin soon, he added. The Chief Minister said the state government was taking steps to improve healthcare services, including providing free vaccinations to eligible patients suffering from breast cancer, oral cancer and other treatable cancers. Referring to improvements in healthcare in Dhalai district, CM Saha said that deaths caused by water-borne diseases, which were previously reported frequently, were no longer occurring. The state government was also making efforts to ensure that people living in remote areas were not deprived of medical services, he added. Chief Minister Saha said that trauma care centres had been established in almost all district hospitals, while cardiac care centres had also been introduced in several places. The infrastructure of district hospitals was being upgraded to improve the availability and quality of healthcare services, he added. He also said that a new dental building was being constructed next to the Dental College, while work was underway to build a mother-and-child hospital at Agartala Government Medical College. Emphasising the importance of the Emicizumab programme, the Chief Minister added that IGM Hospital had been designated as the nodal hospital for its implementation. Making the treatment available at district hospitals in the future would further benefit patients across the state, he said.

Regime change certain in 2027: Akhilesh lashes out at BJP, Election Commission
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 11 (IANS) The Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday asserted that a change of power was certain in 2027 Assembly elections and criticized the Election Commission (EC) over alleged police action on the protesters in the national capital. Speaking to the press, after paying respects to Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan at the Jayaprakash Narayan International Centre (JPNIC) in Lucknow on latter's birth anniversary, the SP supremo said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be shown the door by people in 2027 Uttar Pradesh polls and the 'partisan' Election Commission won't be able to save its 'sinking' fortunes. Swearing by the Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan (JP)'s 'Total Revolution' (Sampoorna Kranti) slogans, Akhilesh Yadav said that the movement remains relevant even today for challenging the regime and his party will bring out the 'desired' result by walking down that path. The process of change has begun. The anguish among the public will accelerate the process of change, he added, after garlanding the statue of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan at the memorial. The SP supremo also took a swipe over Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the Ayodhya seat, days after he challenged the latter to contest the elections from the holy city. Responding to the Chief Minister's questions regarding Ayodhya, Akhilesh Yadav said that arrogant individuals would not be able to withstand the strength of his 'PDA' (Pichhda, Dalit, AlpsankhyakBackward, Dalit, and Minority) alliance. The SP Chief said that the public is now familiar with the BJP's politics and the party will have to give befitting reply to its actions. He claimed that a change would occur in 2027 and that the process has already begun. He said that the BJP is rattled by political strength of the PDA and questioned the role of Election Commission. He said that EC's duty is to encourage maximum voter participation and ensure a smooth voting process. Raising the issue of the alleged assault on residents of Uttar Pradesh in Delhi, Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Election Commission's accountability and demanded its resignation.

Clash erupts at UP Cong headquarters during new State President's swearing-in
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 11 (IANS) An internal rift within the Congress came to the fore at the party's Uttar Pradesh Committee headquarters on Sunday, when a clash broke out between supporters of former State party President Ajay Rai and newly appointed State party President Aradhana Misra Mona during the swearing-in ceremony of the new leadership. The altercation reportedly led to heated exchanges, pushing and shoving, and physical clashes among party workers, creating chaos at the state Congress headquarters. The commotion continued for around half an hour, while a video purportedly showing the incident has been circulating widely on social media. Ajay Rai arrived at the State Congress headquarters along with his supporters to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Aradhana Misra Mona as the new State party President and Imran Masood as the state unit Working President. During the proceedings, a disagreement reportedly arose between Rai and a woman party leader while they were engaged in a conversation. Following the exchange, Rai allegedly left the office in anger. His supporters subsequently demanded that the woman leader be removed from her position and issue an apology. They reportedly said that Rai would return to the state Congress office only after their demands were fulfilled. Some people also alleged that women were treated indecently during the altercation. However, these allegations have not been independently verified. Following the incident, former State Congress President Ajay Rai also alleged that he had been mistreated. As the situation worsened, senior party leaders intervened to prevent the confrontation from escalating further.
