Andhra Pradesh gives hero's farewell to martyred soldier
Hundreds of people on Sunday bid tearful adieu to Army jawan M. Murali Naik who was killed during the cross-border firing by the Pakistani forces along the Line of Control. The last rites of the Angniveer were conducted with full military honours in the presence of Andhra Pradesh ministers V. Anitha, Savitha, Nara Lokesh, Satya Kumar and Army officials at Kallithanda hamlet of Gorantla mandal in Sri Sathya Sai district. Gun salute and ceremonial draping of the tricolor marked the solemn farewell to the fallen hero. Lokesh, who is the son of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, was one of the pallbearers in the funeral procession. Family members, relatives, friends, politicians belonging to various parties, people from surrounding villages, police and civil officials bid adieu to the valiant soldier. The participants in the funeral procession raised slogans of 'Murali Naik amar rahe' and vowed their support to the armed forces. After laying a wreath, Lokesh saluted the martyred soldier. He consoled his family members. The minister personally supervised the arrangements for the funeral and gave necessary directions to the officials. Earlier, the state government announced Rs.50 lakh for the family of Murali Naik. The state government also announced five acres land and 300 square yards house site for the family. It also decided to give job to a member of the family. The announcements were made by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan after paying his last respects to the jawan in the morning. The Jana Sena leader also personally announced Rs.25 lakh assistance for Murali Naik's family. The Deputy CM laid a wreath and paid homage to the martyred soldier. He also consoled the family of the 25-year-old jawan. The actor-politician assured the family that the state and the Central governments will extend all possible assistance to them. Pawan Kalyan said a bronze statue of Murali Naik would be installed in the district headquarter. The mortal remains of Murali Naik reached his home on Saturday. The body first arrived at Bengaluru Airport, where it was received by BC Welfare Minister S. Savitha. Later, the slain soldier's body was shifted to Gorantla in a military convoy. Enroute to Naik's village, hundreds of people paid tributes by showering petals. Murali Naik, an Agniveer, was martyred in the firing by Pakistani forces along Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir on the night of May 8. Naik, who hailed from a poor agricultural family of the tribal hamlet, was posted along the tense LoC in Jammu & Kashmir when the Pakistan Army resorted to ceasefire violations, launching heavy artillery and mortar attacks, post India's Operation Sindoor. Murali was the only son of Mudavath Sriram Naik and Mudavath Jyothi Bai, both working as agricultural labourers in Gorantla mandal.

ATM fees, vehicle taxes set to rise from today
Starting Thursday, ATM transaction fees will rise to Rs.23 for withdrawals beyond the free limit, while commercial vehicles under Rs.10 lakh will incur a 5% lifetime tax, making both ATM usage and vehicle ownership more expensive. As per the Reserve Bank of India 's (RBI) directive, the fee for each additional withdrawal from ATMs will go up from Rs.21 to Rs.23. This move follows a request from ATM-operating companies, who cited higher operational and technical maintenance costs. The RBI approved the fee revision, which takes effect from May 1. Customers in metro cities will continue to have up to three free ATM withdrawals per month, while those in non-metro and rural areas can avail up to five. Once these limits are crossed, the Rs.23 charge will apply per transaction. The increase is expected to impact frequent cash users and those without easy access to digital banking tools, especially in rural regions where cash remains the primary mode of transaction. Taxi & small goods vehicle taxes In a separate development, the Karnataka government has revised its motor vehicle tax structure, which will significantly affect commercial vehicle owners. A 5% lifetime tax will be levied on commercial vehicles priced below Rs.10 lakh from Thursday too. This replaces the earlier system, where owners paid a quarterly tax of Rs.400 per seat. Electric commercial vehicles haven't been spared either. Those valued above Rs.25 lakh will now be subject to a 10% lifetime tax. This marks a shift in the state's taxation strategy, which was earlier seen as more favourable to EV adoption. The revised tax structure, approved through an amendment to the Karnataka Motor Vehicle Taxation Act and cleared by the Governor, aims to streamline vehicle tax policies. However, industry observers and vehicle owners have expressed concerns about the added financial burden, particularly for small business operators and taxi drivers.
