A historic decision.
In a bold move that has the potential of transforming the lives of women and girls in #India, and is a step forward in the direction of gender equality, the Union Cabinet has approved a Bill to make the age of marriage for both men and women 21 years.
n1
Union Government will now introduce the Bill—‘The Prohibition of Child Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2021’—in Parliament for amendments in ‘The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA)’ for making the age of marriage equal at 21 years for both males and females.
n2
The Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy (particularly the Right to Equality and Right against Exploitation) in #Constitution of #India guarantees gender equality. The proposed legislation will bring women on equal footing with men.

We know what #Varanasi looks like today; what it looked like in 2014. I first visited the oldest living city to do a feature for The Statesman 35 years ago.
Since then, I have visited Varanasi several times. During one visit, I acquired a set of old prints. Sharing them.

Have you heard of Saryu Nahar National Project? You wouldn't have because it did not fit into media's agenda. This project had been lying 'pending' for nearly 40 years. It has now been completed in 4 years.
#SaryuNahar
#ModiHaiToMumkinHai
PM @narendramodi will be at Balrampur, UP, today to inaugurate Saryu Nahar National Project.
It will irrigate 14 lakh hectares and benefit 29 lakh farmers in 6200 villages of eastern #UP
It interlinks Ghaghara, Saryu, Rapti, Banganga and Rohini.
#SaryuNahar
#ModiHaiToMumkinHai
Work on the project started in 1978 but was not completed. PM @narendramodi 's vision for farmer welfare and empowerment, and his commitment to prioritise long pending projects of national importance, have ensured completion of the project.

The ‘arrest, search and seize’ powers of BSF have been enhanced by a recent notification of Ministry of Home Affairs. Here are details of
a) Acts under which jurisdiction has been extended;
b) reasons for enhancement; and,
(d) whether it impacts State police jurisdiction.
n1
The notifications dated 11.10.2021 have extended the territorial jurisdiction of BSF under the Passport Act 1920, Passport Act 1967 and Sections 41(1), 47, 51(1), 52, 100, 131, 149, 150, 151 & 152 of Criminal Procedure Code 1973 in Assam, Punjab and West Bengal.
n2
The extension in territorial jurisdiction of BSF is aimed at empowering the Central force to deal with drones and UAVs being used by anti-India forces for surveillance as well as smuggling arms, drugs and fake currency. It would also help in curbing cattle smuggling.

This rant about Farm Laws repealing Bills being passed swiftly in Parliament is hilarious.
Disrupt Parliament, criticise Govt, excite media: Change the toolkit, it’s dated.
Take a look at this list of Bills passed in less than 1 hour, which had repealing effect before 2014:
n1
- The Union Duties of Excise (Electricity) Distribution Repeal Bill, 2006 [Time taken: 12 minutes]

- The Punjab General Sales Tax (As in force in the Union Territory of Chandigarh) Repeal Bill, 2005 [Time taken: 36 minutes]

There’s more.
