  • Drunk Teacher Triggers School Lockdown In JK Village

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: A government primary school in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda was locked down by the residents of Chanti village after a teacher was discovered drunk during school hours. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, was captured on video and circulated on social media, prompting officials to launch an investigation against the accused teacher, Bikram Singh. According to villagers, Singh had asked students to bring him a glass so that he could consume alcohol inside the school premises. When confronted by the villagers, Singh caused a commotion in his inebriated state, as per Gajoth Panchayat Devinder Kotwal, the village head.

    “The accused teacher had a few more bottles of alcohol in his possession,” said village head. “He has repeated this behavior in the past and has been warned by the education department. It is essential to deal with this alcoholic teacher strictly to ensure the safety of the students,” Kotwal added. The Additional Deputy Commissioner of Bhaderwah, Dilmir Chowdhary, commented that carrying liquor to the workplace and being inebriated is not an ideal behaviour for a government official, especially a teacher. After receiving a written complaint from the villagers, the police have taken note of the situation.

    ASP Bhadarwah Kameshwar Puri has confirmed that a complaint has been registered regarding the incident and action will be taken in accordance with the law. Meanwhile, Additional Deputy Commissioner Chowdhary has stated that if the individual in the social media video is indeed a teacher, they will be subjected to a thorough investigation and will face severe consequences. The authorities have initiated an inquiry into the matter.

  • JK Budget Set To Be Unveiled In Parliament Tomorrow

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman would unveil the Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory budget for the next fiscal in the Parliament on Monday. This would be the fourth budget of J&K UT in the Parliament after the reorganization of the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir in August 2019.

    As per the list of Lok Sabha’s business scheduled for tomorrow, the Union Finance Minister will present a statement showing the demands for grants in respect of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir for the year 2022-23.

    She will also present a statement showing the supplementary demands for grants- the second batch for 2022-23.

    The budget is being presented in the Parliament as law-making powers of Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory are vested with it in absence of an elected government in the UT.

    This would be the fourth consecutive budget of J&K UT in the Parliament. The budgets of UT for 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 were unveiled in the Parliament by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

    In June 2018, Jammu & Kashmir came under Governor’s rule after BJP withdrew support to Mehbooba Mufti-led government citing the deteriorating security situation in the state. The budget for 2019-20 was approved by the Governor-led State Administrative Council in December 2018 days before the erstwhile state came under President’s rule under Article 356 of the Constitution of India.

    In the run-up to the budget, top officials of J&K’s Finance department are stationed in New Delhi over the past three days.

    “Director General, Budget MY Itoo, and Joint Director Budget Shafat Yahya have already reached New Delhi. More officials are likely to join them tomorrow,” a senior official of the Finance department said.

    He said the size of the J&K budget for the next fiscal would be more than 1.15 lakh crore.

    For the ongoing fiscal year, Jammu and Kashmir were granted a budget of Rs 112950 crore.

    In the Union budget for the next fiscal, J&K has been allocated Rs 35581.44 crore, of which Rs 33,923 crore is central assistance. The central assistance is given mainly to the UT to meet its resource gap. (KNO)
