In call with Mahmoud Abbas, PM condoles loss of civilian lives at Gaza’s Al Ahli Arab Hospital that was bombed 2 days ago, adds India 'will continue to send aid for Palestinian people'.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
