The floor leaders of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc on Monday held a meeting to discuss the strategy for the second week of the monsoon session and the issues that need to be raised. This meeting comes as the Lok Sabha gears up for a 16-hour-long discussion on Operation Sindoor today. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has appealed to the opposition not to use language reminiscent of Pakistan. He said that there was a need to be mindful and maintain the dignity of the Indian armed forces. "I request the opposition, especially the Congress, not to do anything to harm India's interests and not speak Pakistan's language. We have to be mindful. We have to maintain the dignity of the Indian armed forces," Rijiju told ANI. The Union Minister stated that the opposition, including the Congress, should refrain from making any statements that could harm national interests. "The Congress and the Opposition should not say anything that could harm the national interests. Whatever they speak against India is used by the Pakistanis and India's enemies outside," Rijiju said, adding, "It was the wish of the people of India that the PM decided to launch Operation Sindoor through the Indian Army. Today, the Lok Sabha will take up the discussion on the Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack." Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to address the Lok Sabha at around noon.

Centre asks Odisha to ensure cashless treatment of road accident victims
BHUBANESWAR: The Centre has directed the Odisha government to immediately implement the cashless treatment of road accident victims scheme-2025 in letter and spirit without any further delay. Even as more than two months have passed since the scheme was notified, several states, including Odisha, are yet to begin the process to implement it. The new scheme entitles every road accident victim to receive treatment up to Rs 1.5 lakh for a maximum of seven days from the date of accident without any upfront payment. The states can use the existing technological platforms, including the electronic detailed accident report (eDAR) of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and Transaction Management System (TMS) of the National Health Authority (NHA) to enable seamless coordination between hospitals and police for implementation of the scheme. At a recent review meeting chaired by Union Road Transport and Highways Secretary V Umashankar, it was found that though Odisha has already migrated to TMS 2.0, there is no information about the designated agency, point of contact and other details essential for implementing the cashless treatment scheme. The MoRTH has asked the state government to submit details of the designated nodal agency, point of contact, confirmation of active TMS login by district collectors, details of all collectors for opening of accounts and grievance redressal officer from district road safety committee within 10 days. The Centre has clarified that while the cashless scheme leverages the Ayushman Bharat platform, it is a statutory scheme under law and is not a benefit scheme. Therefore, the cashless scheme will be applicable to all individuals irrespective of income criteria and it is different from the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
