AIYF demands job notifications, unemployment allowance
Addressing the gathering, Srinivasulu criticised Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for failing to deliver on his pre-election assurances. 'Before the elections, the Chief Minister promised to create 20 lakh jobs and provide an unemployment allowance of Rs 3,000 per month. Now, after coming to power, he is citing financial constraints. With over four decades of political experience, was he unaware of the financial burden these promises entailed?' he questioned. He demanded that all vacant posts in government departments be filled immediately and a white paper be released on employment and livelihood plans for the youth.
The AIYF also urged the government to declare Amaravati a free zone to ensure job opportunities are accessible to youth from all 26 districts of the state.
Attempting to submit a memorandum, AIYF leaders were stopped by the police at the Collectorate gate, leading to a brief scuffle. The protest witnessed participation from several leaders, including AIYF city secretary Bisanna, AISF district president Somanna, AITUC city secretary Chandrasekhar, and AIYF members C Ramesh, Peddayya, Anjeet Goud, Raju, Jaffer Patel, Upendra, Nagaraju, Srikanth, Akhil, Kalakhar, Muniswamy, Ravi, Hussain Basha, Nageswara Rao, Babji, Shiva, Naveen, Prabhakar, and Kumaru.

Central Administrative Tribunal seeks Punjab's response on IPS officer's daughter plea for dues
Representative Image (AI-generated) The Principal Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), New Delhi, has asked the Punjab government to respond on a plea filed by Shabri Prasad, daughter of Punjab cadre IPS officer Late R C Prasad, seeking payment of statutory interest on her delayed pension arrears. Shabri, an unmarried daughter of the 1976-batch Punjab cadre IPS officer who died in service in December 2003, has been a legitimate recipient of family pension under Rule 54 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. However, her pension was abruptly discontinued when she turned 25 years old, despite government orders clarifying that unmarried daughters above that age are eligible for continued family pension if they remain unmarried and dependent. Her pension was restored only in 2020 after she pursued repeated representations, following which she received arrears aggregating to Rs 43.61 lakh in three installments. However, the arrears were paid without the statutory interest mandated under Rule 65(2) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, which requires payment of interest in cases of delay attributable to administrative lapses. The unpaid interest on delayed payments has been tentatively calculated at around Rs 43.21 lakh at 9 per cent per annum. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In her plea before the principal bench of CAT, she has submitted that despite several representations — including letters dated September 2024 and emails to senior Punjab officials — no action was taken to release the interest component. The denial of statutory interest is in violation of Rule 65(2) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, she has submitted before the tribunal. The matter was last heard on July 14, 2025, when the Tribunal fixed it for August 27 asking the Punjab government to respond. For Shabri Prasad, the matter is not merely financial but also symbolic of a long struggle against bureaucratic indifference. 'My father served the Punjab Police with dedication. After his death, I have had to fight every step of the way to secure what is rightfully mine,' she has stated in her representations.

Anupam Mittal on ban on real money games: Hope we're not trying to out-ban China and ...
Anupam Mittal Anupam Mittal , the founder and CEO of parent People Group, has criticised India's ban on real-money games. In a post shared on professional networking site LinkedIn, the Shark Tank judge called the government's proposal " moral policing dressed up as policy." He warned that the decision could cost the government billions in tax revenue and push users toward black market alternatives. Mittal argued that the ban is counterproductive, comparing it to the ineffective prohibition on products like gutka. He noted that the real-money gaming sector generates significant revenue, including Rs 27,000 crore in GST and Rs 10,000 crore in advertising, while providing legitimate livelihoods. He questioned why the government would ban a whole industry due to the risks of addiction and financial harm, while other risky activities like stock trading and alcohol remain legal. The investor cautioned that the government loses revenue, and users lose protection when such bans are implemented, leading to the rise of black markets. He concluded his post by saying, "Hope we're not trying to out-ban China," suggesting that the government is exercising excessive control.

In one shot, we killed a sector that - pumped in ₹27,000 cr of GST annually - drove ₹10,000 cr+ of ad revenue - gave thousands a legit livelihood in games of skill Why? Because many got addicted. Some went broke. Fair concerns but do we ban alcohol because some become alcoholics? Do we ban stock trading because some blow up their savings? Most bans usually have the same outcome 👇 👉 Govt loses revenue 👉 Users lose protection 👉 Black markets win (reportedly 8.3 lakh crore illegal gaming market in India 😱) Short term, this feels like we've shot ourselves in the foot. Long term, hopefully it allows real gaming & e-sports to emerge as one of the largest globally. But let's be honest, right now it looks like moral policing dressed up as policy.
