AAP government wasting money on fake advertisements: Bikram Singh Majithia
Ludhiana: Former minister and senior Akali Dal leader, Bikram Singh Majithia , on Saturday, said that the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government has nothing to show in the name of performance but is wasting money on fake advertisements. Addressing election meetings in favour of party candidate Parupkar Singh Ghumman in Ludhiana West, Majithia said that all major projects in the state, including those in Ludhiana, were implemented by the SAD government led by Parkash Singh Badal. He claimed that during the last three and a half years, the AAP government led by Bhagwant Mann had failed to initiate a single project. He asked people whether they had seen Bhagwant Mann or Arvind Kejriwal inaugurating any project in the state. Lashing out at the CM, he accused him of completely surrendering before Arvind Kejriwal, who is calling the shots in the state. He claimed that the Punjab government was spending Rs 800 crore annually on fake advertisements on the orders of Arvind Kejriwal. According to him, the budget for advertisements during the SAD government was around Rs 30 crore annually, which was increased to Rs 150 crore during the Congress regime, and had now been increased to Rs 800 crore. Majithia said that this had led to Punjab landing in a debt trap of Rs 4 lakh crore. MSID:: 121850993 413 | Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

HC grants conditional relief to IPS officer in central deputation row
1 2 Cuttack: Orissa high court on Friday provided conditional relief to senior IPS officer Satish Kumar Ishwardas Gajbhiye, who challenged his central deputation order that would have demoted him from inspector general (IG) to deputy IG. The vacation bench of Justices A K Mohapatra and M S Raman directed Gajbhiye to approach the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) within 10 days with a certified copy of the HC order. The bench also mandated CAT to deliver its final decision within 10 days of filing. The controversy arose when the ministry of home affairs on Dec 6 last year ordered Gajbhiye's appointment as DIG in CRPF, a rank below his current position of IG (communications) in Cuttack. State govt subsequently issued a notification on Dec 12, confirming his deputation. Gajbhiye approached the HC after CAT failed to pronounce its judgment within the stipulated three weeks following the May 9 hearing. Senior advocate Subir Palit, representing Gajbhiye, cited the CAT (Practice) Rules, 1993, which mandate judgment delivery within three weeks of reservation. In his petition, Gajbhiye argued that his demotion would place him under officers junior to him, including those from the 2006 regular recruitment batch currently serving as IGs in the Union govt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire è più facile che mai BG SAXO Scopri di più Undo He emphasised that while pay protection might be available, it cannot justify posting at a lower rank, affecting dignity, facilities and command responsibilities. The court's order also specified that if Gajbhiye approaches either the Union or state govt seeking a post matching his seniority and rank, authorities must consider it independently and respond within 10 days, following existing rules. Deputy solicitor general Prasanna Kumar Parhi and additional govt advocate U C Behera had objected to the petition, arguing that the matter should have been first raised before the tribunal.
