President to attend special session of AIMA tomorrow

The ongoing dispute between the management of the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and its sole recognised union, Bhartiya Khadya Nigam Karamchari Sangh (BKNKS), was taken up for conciliation on Thursday before the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) in New Delhi.

The District Magistrate instructed that, in accordance with the guidelines of the Government of India, first priority in LPG distribution should be given to domestic consumers so that the general public does not face any inconvenience. He also directed that home delivery of domestic LPG cylinders should be ensured through an OTP-based system

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde stated that the threats were bogus, calling the Vidhan Bhavan safe and added that operations to tackle the issue are underway smoothly.

In a letter addressed to the Minister, AIMSA expressed "serious concern" regarding the NMC notice which requires FMGs to undergo compulsory onsite compensation for the online education undertaken during the pandemic period.

Vijayan said there is no anti-incumbency in the state, adding that the people hold a positive view of the government and its policies and believe only the current administration can take Kerala forward.
