The
Centre today sanctioned a special package of Rs 2,246 crore to address
acute water-logging problem in the south-west districts of Punjab like
Faridkot, Ferozepur, Muktsar and Bathinda. The integrated project was
sanctioned following a report submitted by a high-level expert group
headed by Planning Commission member Mihir Shah last year.
Sahara
chief Subrata Roy surrendered before Lucknow police today, a day after
the police failed to arrest him at his residence. A CJM court later
remanded him in four-day police custody.
Amid
reports that El Nino weather pattern could affect the crucial
monsoon this year, the Centre has asked states to be fully
prepared ahead of the upcoming kharif sowing season. Agriculture
Secretary Ashish Bahuguna advised states to be fully geared up to
meet any eventuality in the wake of erratic rains at a conference
for consultations on preparedness for the sowing season.
