Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
It is strange that a 300 meter high Prasar Bharati (DD and AIR) tower was constructed at a contracted cost of approximately rupees 17 crores at village Gharinda on Grand Trunk Road in Amritsar between 2007 and 2013. Prasar Bharati giving an unconvinceable reason of its being slightly bent, has refused to take it over. Instead another amount of approximately one crore of rupees has been spent on constructing a temporary 100 meter high tower near it and the high powered 20 kilowatt FM transmitter antenna has been installed on it, which neither satisfactorily reaches downtown area of Amritsar nor the downtown area of Lahore. This arrangement is continuing for the past two years. Coming from the top of a 300 meter high antenna, a 20 kilowatt transmitter has a range of 60+ miles or 100 kilometers. But due to the inadequate height of the transmitting antenna the range gets restricted to 30 miles or 50 kilometers. As a result we are covering 60 lakh population in Pakistan and 60 lakhs in India. The full potential is 2.5 crores in Pakistan and 1.5 crores in India. The 300 meter high structure is not unsafe, it is imperfect. The biggest loser is the external service of All India Radio.
