Last Updated: Bhopal, Aug 6 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh assembly was adjourned sine die on Wednesday, two days ahead of the schedule, after the house transacted business associated with legislative, finance and public importance matters and cleared a record eight bills. During the monsoon session, originally slated to end on Friday (August 8), eight sittings were held and the house also passed the first supplementary bill for 2025-26, Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar said. He also mentioned about the tradition started during the session of remembering former assembly speakers and chief ministers of the state in the house. Members paid tributes to the first chief minister of undivided Madhya Pradesh, Pandit Ravi Shankar Shukla, former CM Dwarka Prasad Mishra and ex-speaker Gulsher Ahmed in the presence of their family members. On the last day of the session, the house passed eight bills and that, too, by holding discussion on each of them which was a record in the assembly's history. For this, Legislative Affairs Minister Kailash Vijaywargiya thanked the Speaker with members thumping the benches in appreciation. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, while praising the Chair for running the house smoothly during the monsoon session, declared his government will try to expand irrigation facility to cover 100 lakh hectares of land from the present 52 lakh hectares. While during the 1.5 years of the current government, 7.5 lakh hectare was added to the existing irrigation facility, the CM noted. Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar of the Congress demanded that the amount sanctioned by the government under the MLA development fund be increased to Rs 5 crore from the existing Rs 2 crore. He suggested live telecast of assembly proceedings so that people are able to see what goes inside the house and which all issues are raised and discussed. Singhar urged the Speaker, Chief Minister and the entire house to seriously mull over issues raised by him, including the suggestion to start live telecast of assembly proceedings. The Speaker then suggested forming a committee to look into the demands raised by the Leader of Opposition, to which the chief minister also agreed. Yadav said a panel with a member from their side (opposition), finance minister and another one from here (ruling benches) will be constituted and it will take the matter forward. After this, Legislative Affairs Minister Vijaywargiya declared that all listed business of the house has been completed and moved a proposal to adjourn the assembly sine die. After the assembly passed the proposal, the Speaker adjourned the house sine die.

Pvt players to run liquor stores in state from Sept 1
1 2 Ranchi: Retail India Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and country liquor shops in Ranchi and across the state will be operated by private players from September 1 as per the new excise policy, the state excise and prohibitions department said on Friday. However, the wholesale liquor sales are still controlled by the state-run Jharkhand State Beverages Corporation Limited (JSBCL), it added. The state cabinet had approved the Jharkhand Excise (Settlement and Operation of Shops for Retail Sale of Liquor) Rules, 2025, in May this year. The new move was a shift from the earlier arrangement which had been in effect since 2019, during which the JSBCL controlled retail liquor sales in the state. Excise commissioner Ravi Shankar Shukla said the new rules were notified on May 21. Though the rollout was slated in June, administrative and logistic hurdles pushed the deadline to September, excise department sources said. "According to the new rules, several steps must be followed before the implementation, which include issuing tenders to rope in private players, providing a window for at least 15 days to the new shops for preparation, and developing software for holding a lottery among the bidders through an online medium. The lottery process will start either by the end of July or in the beginning of August," sources said. The department last week started the handover-cum-takeover process of over 1,453 liquor shops in the state from placement agencies after completion of the latter's contract period. By Thursday, 90% of the process was completed. Now, JSBCL will run the liquor shops across the state till August 31 as a measure to fulfil the liquor demand in the state. Subodh Kumar Jaiswal, general secretary of the Jharkhand Sharab Vyapari Sangh, welcomed the move. "Following the implementation of the new policy, the govt will receive advance revenue, which will contribute to strengthening the state's exchequer," he claimed.
