Project Cheetah: Displacing 5,000 people for lions and rushing cheetah translocation with no social impact surveys— Are we truly prioritizing conservation?
Review - DEKHO
With only 6,500 Cheetahs left in the wild, can we afford the risks to their welfare vis-a vis local communities?
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s 3% DA hike, presented as a Diwali gift, has failed to satisfy nearly 4 Lakhs government employees and 3.5 Lakhs pensioners. Their unions have announced a month-long agitation over pending DA arrears, the Old Pension Scheme, Sixth Pay Commission benefits and unfulfilled promises. Protests are also planned outside the residences of all 91 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs. Is Aam Aadmi Party losing its political credibility in Punjab by breaking promises and turning government employees into a growing force of opposition ?
मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान द्वारा घोषित 3% डी.ए. बढ़ोतरी, जिसे दिवाली का तोहफा बताया गया, लगभग 4 लाख सरकारी कर्मचारियों और 3.5 लाख पेंशनभोगियों को संतुष्ट नहीं कर पाई है। कर्मचारी संगठनों ने लंबित डी.ए. बकाया, पुरानी पेंशन योजना, छठे वेतन आयोग के लाभ और अधूरे वादों को लेकर एक महीने तक आंदोलन करने का ऐलान किया है। आम आदमी पार्टी के सभी 91 विधायकों के आवासों के बाहर भी प्रदर्शन किए जाएंगे। क्या वादे पूरे न करने और सरकारी कर्मचारियों को अपने विरोध की एक बड़ी ताकत बनाने के कारण आम आदमी पार्टी पंजाब में अपनी राजनीतिक विश्वसनीयता खो रही है ?
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is the Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Dhuri. But what if Congress fields Sukhpal Singh Khaira and the Shiromani Akali Dal fields Bikram Singh Majithia against him ? Such a three-way contest would bring three prominent political faces into the same constituency. Khaira has often challenged Mann in the Assembly, while Majithia’s entry would add another major political dimension to the contest. Dhuri could become a key battleground, putting the political strength of all three parties under public scrutiny. If Khaira and Majithia enter the race against Bhagwant Mann, what could this three-way battle mean for Dhuri and Punjab’s political equations ?
