Karnataka government to fast-track property records campaign
'About 52 lakh lands are still in the names of deceased persons. Deputy Commissioners have been instructed to speed up the process of transferring all of them to the names of their current heirs through the 'pavathi khatha' campaign', he told reporters on the sidelines of the review of his department.
'The Centre has issued an order not to provide PM Kisan, drip irrigation and machinery purchase subsidies to lands in the names of deceased persons. This will cause problems for farmers. Now we will go to the doorsteps of farmers and provide 'pavathi khatha'. So far, 2.30 lakh lands have been given 'pavathi khatha'. Also, it has been decided to give Rs. 6 for each case as an incentive to village accountants who make progress in the 'e-pavathi khatha' campaign', he said.
Laptops have been given to 4,000 VAs and the remaining will get them soon. Everyone is being trained on the use of e-office in order to digitize the department's work from grassroots, the minister said. He said that Village Administrative Officers (VAOs) are being given offices at Gram Panchayats.
'Out of the 8,357 village administration officers, office facilities have been provided to 7,405 VAOs in gram panchayats and the others will be given similar facilities soon, the minister said.
Simplified 'Nanna Bhoomi'
The minister said the 'Nanna Bhoomi' guarantee campaign has gained momentum. So far 1,09,000 lands have been measured in just 8 months. It will be done on 2 lakh lands by December, he said.

Nagaland against separate constitutional article for ENPO demand
Kohima: The Nagaland govt on Wednesday opposed the Centre's proposal to grant a separate constitutional provision — potentially under — for the proposed Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA), calling it a move that would "amount to territorial bifurcation of the state". Addressing a press conference in Kohima following the state cabinet meeting, minister for power and parliamentary affairs and govt spokesperson K G Kenye said while the state supports the demand for administrative, financial, and judicial autonomy for the Eastern region, it is firmly against the creation of any separate political identity.

Kargil Democratic Alliance announces 3-day protest from Aug 9 to press for demands
KDA, along with LAB, has been holding talks with the Centre over their four-point agenda — statehood, Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh, a dedicated Public Service Commission (PSC) and two parliamentary seats. The two outfits have been spearheading an agitation jointly over the past several years in support of their demands. The strike will begin coming Saturday in Kargil town and the leaders of Leh Apex Body (LAB) have also been requested to join the protest and send a message to the central government that the people of Ladakh will not stay silent on their 'genuine' demands, KDA co-chairman Asgar Ali Karbalai told reporters here. Kargil, Aug 6 (PTI) The Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) on Wednesday announced a three-day hunger strike here from August 9 alleging delay by the Centre in holding the next round of talks concerning the demand for statehood and Sixth Schedule for the Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh. 'The last meeting of KDA and APEX with the Ministry of Home Affairs took place almost two months ago. And in that last meeting, the issues of domicile, reservations and recruitment were sorted out and we were told that the next meeting will be held within a month to discuss our main agenda (statehood and Sixth Schedule) but they (Centre) are using delaying tactics by not holding the meeting,' Karbalai, flanked by other members of the KDA, said. He said the KDA and the LAB have decided to launch an agitation from Kargil to convey a clear message to the country, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah that the people of Ladakh will not stay silent. 'The KDA core group, in consultation with LAB, has decided to go for a three-day hunger strike from August 9 at 10 am and will culminate on August 11 at 4 pm with a massive public rally,' Karbalai said, inviting people across Ladakh to join the hunger strike. He said the leadership of LAB were also requested to join the hunger strike so that the next course of action would be chalked out jointly and made public at the rally. 'We believe in peaceful agitation to raise our genuine, justified and constitutionally right demands. We have put forth the four-point agenda and the government addressed the issue of reservation, domicile and recruitment issues. 'With regard to two parliamentary seats, we were told that it cannot be done due to a freeze on the delimitation process till 2026, leaving only two main demands of statehood and the Sixth Schedule,' he said. He said the people of Ladakh will resist any attempt to put the main demands in the cold storage. PTI TAS TAS KSS KSS This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Sofiya Qureshi, who gained national attention during Operation Sindoor'. The petition contended that not allowing women in the armed forces through CDS was a violation of the fundamental right to practise any profession, as granted under the Constitution. 'A career as a permanent commissioned officer of the armed forces is considered to be one of the most respected and exciting professions in India, prohibition on women to apply for this profession violates their right to practice profession,' it claimed.
