Home Ministry sanctions honorary rank to retiring CAPF personnel
The insignia would entail no additional pensionary benefits, the MHA said in an order.
The honorary senior rank would be accorded to constables, head constables, assistant sub-inspectors and sub-inspectors on the day of their retirement.
'To boost the morale, pride and confidence of the CAPF personnel who have had a long tenure, it has been decided to accord the next senior honorary rank to officials on the day of the retirement. This will entail no additional financial or pensionary benefits,' the order issued with the concurrence of Home Minister Amit Shah said.
To get the honorary rank, the personnel should have had a clean service record and should have received no punishment in the past five years, the MHA said. It added that Vigilance clearance was mandatory to get the rank.
Former Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director-General Anish Dayal Singh, on the day of his retirement on December 31, 2024, said the personnel who benefit from the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) but have not been granted promotion in rank due to organisational constraints, may use the insignia of the next senior rank on their uniforms before they retire.
All CAPF personnel are entitled to at least three promotions during their service. In absence of real promotion, MACP ensures financial benefits of the next senior rank on completion of 10, 20 and 30 years of service.

Admn to seek MHA approval for diversion of power savings to MC
Chandigarh: After failing to get a Rs 188 crore grant from the ministry of home affairs (MHA) for the municipal corporation, the Chandigarh administration plans to seek approval for Rs 100 crore from the MHA. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The money being asked for is part of the Chandigarh administration's kitty, under the "Re-appropriation segment". Since the administration managed to save a significant amount of money in the power segment after privatisation of power, the Chandigarh administration plans to seek the approval of MHA to allow the Chandigarh administration to divert Rs 100 crore from the saved kitty to the MC for developmental and related works. Sources said that the proposal is in the final stages. The administration received the money, which is its own, in the current annual budget from the ministry of finance in April. The administration needs MHA approval to divert its own money to the MC, sources said. Even though the MC is trying to increase its revenue, for which it has taken multiple steps in the past few years, committed liabilities and other expenditure has increased so much that the MC needs additional funds immediately, at least once, to clear the financial backlog. The issue of the cash crunch being faced by the MC was also raised before senior officials of the MHA, who visited the city in June. Release of funds to the MC as per recommendations of the 4th Delhi Finance Commission (DFC) was also discussed. Box: Previous attempt failed This is not the first time the Chandigarh administration plans to divert the power segment amount to the MC. The administration tried to get approval for the same last year bit failed. Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria even wrote to the Union minister of finance, Nirmala Sitharaman, for allocation of around Rs 200 crore for the MC. Kataria sought funds for other segments pertaining to the Chandigarh administration too. MSID:: 123207246 413 |

Asaduddin Owaisi calls Pahalgam attack painful, vows to boycott India-Pak match
AIMIM Chief and veteran Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, in an exclusive podcast with India Today, said he will not watch the upcoming India vs Pakistan cricket match in Dubai as part of the Asia Cup.'I am surprised and shocked that we are playing a cricket match with Pakistan in Dubai. I will not watch it,' Owaisi said. 'How can you jump and play cricket when the Prime Minister himself has said many times that water and blood cannot flow together, and that talks and terrorism cannot go together?'advertisementCalling cricket in India 'an obsession' that brings everything to a standstill, Owaisi said the recent Pahalgam terror attack, where people were shot in front of their families, had deeply pained him. 'The incident was horrific. It is painful that someone can be shot in front of their wives and children. To me, it makes no sense to play a cricket match with Pakistan when we have taken such stringent measures,' he said. When asked why India is playing under such circumstances, he said the answer lies with the BCCI and the government, which permitted the to Home Minister Amit Shah's statement that there is 'nothing called Hindu terror,' Owaisi asked, 'Who killed Mahatma Gandhi? Who killed Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi? Who killed the Sikhs in the streets of Delhi? Who is killing police personnel in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh?'"Terrorism has become a new religion and these terrorists do all the acts in the name of religion," he said. "Amit Shah may have forgotten who killed Mahatma Gandhi. Nathuram Godse was the first terrorist of independent India," he GOVERNMENT IN PARLIAMENT FOR ALLOWING CRICKET MATCH In a fiery speech in Parliament earlier during the ongoing Monsoon Session, Owaisi questioned the decision to play cricket with Pakistan while trade and water treaties remain suspended. 'Does your conscience permit playing a cricket match with Pakistan? You've cut off trade ties, shut down airspace but you're still ready to play cricket?' he further demanded accountability for the security lapse in Pahalgam, questioning how terrorists could enter and kill civilians despite a heavy military presence. He also criticised the government's Kashmir policy, claiming deterrence had failed despite the abrogation of Article 370.- EndsMust Watch

Tejashwi Yadav Slams Amit Shahs Speeches In Bihar, Calls It ‘Pakau-Thaku'
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday took a jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing him of delivering 'repetitive' and 'unproductive' speeches during his visits to Bihar, referring to it as "pakau-thaku". Speaking to the media, Yadav accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of practising "politics of negativity" and ignoring pressing issues such as education, healthcare, poverty, and large-scale migration from Bihar. "Amit Shah speaks the same 'pakau-thaku' things whenever he visits. He should speak about the development of Bihar, about ending unemployment and inflation. He doesn't speak about any of these. Bihar will not benefit if they keep abusing Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. Unless unemployment, poverty and migration end in Bihar, they do not speak about education and health facilities. Their is only the politics of negativity. Let them do it, this doesn't matter...," Yadav said. Amit Shah reached Bihar's Sitamarhi on Friday and laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Janki Mata Temple at Punaura Dham. Later, addressing a public rally, Shah lashed out at the Opposition over their criticism of the government's handling of Operation Sindoor, accusing the Congress party and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's camp of "opposing" the anti-terror operation. Shah also hit out at the Opposition parties for opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar, accusing them of indulging in vote bank politics. He alleged that the opposition parties were opposing the SIR because infiltrators form part of their vote bank. The Union Minister further asserted that this exercise is not happening for the first time, and former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru started it. On being asked about Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's meetings with Anant Singh and gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan, Tejashwi Yadav chose a guarded response. "I do not want to comment on understand only the language of the AK-47. The Government seizes AK-47 from their house, and the same Government releases them. People of Bihar know very well who they are. Party spokespersons are there to speak on their behalf. It does not suit us to speak on them...," he said.
