The newly formed Suvendu Adhikari government in West Bengal has decided to scrap all religion-based stipend schemes, including those for Imams and Hindu priests, by the end of this month. In a major move for women's empowerment, the cabinet approved the 'Annapurna Yojana', providing ₹3,000 monthly financial aid to women starting June 1. Additionally, free bus travel for women across the state has been announced. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari also held his first 'Janata Darbar' to address public grievances, mirroring the administrative style of UP CM Yogi Adityanath. https://www.loksatta.com/desh-videsh/iran-strait-of-hormuz-internet-undersea-cable-threat-big-tech-rub-99-2-5906139/ #creator program
