Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
It looks like Shekarji has joined BJP and The Print has become mouthpiece. It is responsibility of all the government to enhance better and safe cooking facilities in rural areas. But for a independent media whether it is BJP, Congress or any other party, it has to investigate shortcoming and highlight them to draw government’s attention. Media like Print should not help government as any way it has spent crores on publicity to show case achievements. Critical media is good for any government to further improve and keep away from complacent.
Why do city folks think that all villagers are paupers and live on alms? Mr Allwyn,above, asks if these people can afford refills. The picture of this semi-pucca tenement says they probably can. See the room cooler & immersion heater? Next he will ask if those getting new electric connections will pay their bills.
For the record, even Mulayam Singh Yadav had unpaid electric bills of about 40 lakh ruppees which has been paid recently when Yogi govt became strict.
Good 1 side report. I come frm rural family of Maharashtra, NO such positive impact on people and environment to say. I think Govt had spent more on Advertising Ujjwala in Urban and rural areas than on gas connection. Good step though, but seen as chest boasting asset rather than focus on implementation for consistent use of LPG by rurals.
Excellent initiative by BJP Govt. Smokeless village is another novel initiative. DBTL, PMUY initiatives will go a long way in improving the living conditions of poor people.
The photograph in the article where the burner kept on the floor is misleading. It is a safety hazard. When LPG will go a long way in improving the living condition, safety of the installations cannot be ignored. An LPG installation requires proper ventilated room away from other rooms and the burner to be kept on the platform at a higher level than the cylinder.
I would like to know from the author if he asked the PMUY beneficiaries whether they can afford the cylinder refills. Since the beneficiaries belong to the BPL class what percentage from among them would go for the refills?

Good reportage. May be you could have covered more states to give bigger picture.
