										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the Centre recently cut the excise duty on fuels, Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil demanded that the state government reduce the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Patil told reporters in Kolhapur that they have organized an agitation across Maharashtra to press for the demand, citing the fact that 11 states across the country, some of which are not even run by the BJP, have reduced gasoline VAT to bring relief to the common man.&#8221;Malik has confirmed that he bought land from 1993 Mumbai serial bombings criminals,&#8221; Patil remarked in response to a question about state minister Nawab Malik, who has hurled many claims against BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and others.</p>

This measure will aid in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into the textile industry, resulting in the creation of thousands of jobs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over the next five years, the Union Cabinet has approved a total outlay of Rs 4,445 crore to establish seven massive integrated textile regions and apparel parks (PM-MITRA). The integrated parks will be located at greenfield or brownfield sites in different states that are eager to join, according to the Union Cabinet, which shared a glimpse of the Modi government&#8217;s mammoth plant to enhance export and employment.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Everyone should join us. The next target will be media houses. If you want to be saved, join us, else you too will suffer,” said the senior functionary of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tikait, who will speak to a &#8216;kisan mahapanchayat&#8217; later in the day in Rajim, Gariaband district, said the largest issue was the lack of minimum support prices for crops and vegetables.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The government on Thursday set up a 12-member committee to review the existing guidelines of the Journalist Welfare Scheme (JWS). The committee, headed by Prasar Bharti Board member Ashok Tandon, is expected to give its report in two months.</p>
<p>The committee will examine the need for revision of the quantum of ex-gratia payment in death as well as other cases under the JWS. It will also look into the aspect of differentiation and parity between accredited and non-accredited journalists for availing benefits under the scheme.</p>
<p>The committee has also been asked to look into the revision and broad-basing the definition of ‘working journalist’ for the purpose of the scheme, keeping in view the Occupational, Safety, Health and Working Condition Code-2020 as well as Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.</p>
<p>“This decision is considered significant in the light of the several changes that have taken place in the media eco-space, including the loss of a large number of journalists due to Covid-19&#8230;,” read the ministry of information and broadcasting statement.</p>
<p>Members of the committee are The Week resident editor Sachidananda Murthy, senior journalist Shekhar Iyer, Panchjanya editor Hitesh Shankar, Amitabh Sinha (News 18), Shishir Sinha (Business Line), Ravinder Kumar (Zee News), Smriti Kak Ramachandran (Hindustan Times), Amit Kumar (Times Now), Vasudha Venugopal (Economic Times) and Press Information Bureau additional director general Kanchan Prasad. Pankaj Salodia, Director (IP) will be the convener of the committee.</p>

<p>According to the commissioner, some deaths have also been recorded in Mathura, which is part of the Agra division. Scrub typhus, a vector-borne disease similar to dengue, but caused by bacteria rather than viruses, was blamed for these deaths.</p>
