New Delhi, May 3: Nine months after making some amendments to the laws and rules governing the government employment, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinhas administration has begun the process of terminating the services of the government employees, allegedly indulging in anti-national activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
On 30 July 2020, Government of Jammu and Kashmir had amended the service rules and dispensed with the requirement of an enquiry for dismissal of the employees emerging as a threat to the security of the State. For the first time, the government had devised a mechanism to terminate the anti-national employees without facing judicial scrutiny.

Maharashtra govt harassing Remdesivir supplier: Fadnavis.
Maharashtra Leader of Opposition (LoP) Devendra Fadnavis has alleged the state government was harassing a supplier of Remdesivir from neighbouring union territory Daman because Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders had approached him for supply of the antiviral medication to the state.
Speaking to reporters late on Saturday night, Fadnavis said, Daman-based Bruck Pharma Pvt Ltd was one of the exporters of Remdesivir, whom we (BJP leaders) had contacted to supply the stock to Maharashtra as the state is facing shortage of Remdesivir vials. We have even informed the state FDA minister (Rajendra Shingne) about it and approached the union government seeking necessary permissions.
