It is one of the documents accepted during the special intensive revision (SIR) electoral roll, as a proof of citizenship. The bill seeks to add sub-section 3A to Section 13, requiring any birth or death intimated to the registrar after two years of occurence, to be registered only on the order of a first-class judicial magistrate, “after verifying the correctness of the birth or death and on payment of such fee as may be prescribed”.The existing Section 13(3) mandates that a birth or death, of which delayed information is shared with the registrar after one year but within two years of its occurrence, will be registered only on order of a district magistrate, sub-divisional magistrate or an executive magistrate authorised by the district magistrate and appointed under Section 14(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).The rules to implement Section 13(3A) — including determination of the prescribed fee for delayed registration — may be framed by the state govt, empowered under Section 30 to do so.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

(PTI photo) NEW DELHI: The West Bengal government on Tuesday announced that it would not take any coercive action against students who participated in recent demonstrations over the NEET (UG) paper leak issue.However, the BJP-led state government clarified that the relief would not apply to individuals with criminal antecedents.The directions are in line with the Supreme Court’s interim order earlier in the day, under which states can continue investigations into registered FIRs but cannot take coercive action against students who participated in protests, provided they have no criminal antecedents.According to an official press release, one case had been registered in West Bengal in connection with the NEET (UG) paper leak protest issue and 16 people had been arrested as of 6 pm on July 26.Earlier, two other BJP-led states, Bihar and Assam, announced the withdrawal of cases and legal proceedings against all protesters involved in demonstrations over the alleged NEET (UG) examination irregularities.In Maharashtra, another BJP-led state, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis directed the state home department to issue orders for the withdrawal of cases registered against students who participated in the protests.The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), an online satirical outfit that led the main protests in Delhi, has warned of resuming its agitation if cases against all protesters are not withdrawn. The demand was among the conditions accepted by the Centre, following which the CJP called off its indefinite sit-in on July 25.The CJP had been protesting at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar since June 21.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

The transport department has also completed the subsidy approval process for five additional beneficiaries.On the occasion, the CM flagged off 11 clean fuel-based vehicles. Addressing the programme, he said that the assistance was not merely financial support but a symbol of the state government’s commitment to building a clean, modern, and environmentally sustainable transport system in Uttarakhand. He said the initiative would promote clean fuel-based public transport in urban areas, reduce pollution caused by diesel-powered vehicles, and strengthen environmental conservation efforts.Dhami said the world is facing the serious challenge of climate change, making it essential to strike a balance between development and environmental protection. He emphasised that development is meaningful only when it remains in harmony with nature and ensures a safe and clean future for coming generations. The CM said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is emerging as a global leader in green energy and sustainable development. He highlighted initiatives such as the country’s target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, the Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) campaign, the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme, and the expansion of solar and other renewable energy sources as evidence of India’s commitment to environmental protection.Dhami said Uttarakhand, nestled in the Himalayas and revered as Devbhoomi, is the origin of life-giving rivers such as the Ganga and Yamuna. He noted that the state’s rich biodiversity, forests, rivers, and mountain ecosystems are invaluable national assets. Protecting the environment and maintaining ecological balance, he said, is a shared responsibility, adding that the state government’s vision is to ensure that development and environmental conservation go hand in hand.The chief minister said that with this vision, the government has implemented the Uttarakhand Clean Mobility Transition Policy-2024.The policy aims to modernise public transport in urban areas, reduce pollution caused by ageing diesel vehicles, and encourage the adoption of CNG and other clean fuel-based transport systems. He expressed confidence that the policy would lay a strong foundation for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable transport network across the state. Dhami further said that the state government is continuously expanding the operation of electric buses in Dehradun, Haridwar, and Haldwani.EV charging stations are also being established across Uttarakhand to provide the necessary infrastructure for clean mobility.

It states that RAF personnel deployed in Zone-1 alongside a Deputy Commissioner of Police-rank Delhi Police officer fired multiple non-lethal munitions after received rmission from the senior police officer.According to the entry, the RAF fired 55 non-electrical shells, 15 electrical shells, five tear smoke grenades, two rounds from anti-riot guns and two rounds of plastic pellets while controlling the crowd.Officials said one round of plastic pellets contains four plastic projectiles, which differ from metal pellets and are designed to cause less serious injuries.The alleged use of plastic pellets has become a major political flashpoint after reports that some protesters sustained grievous pellet injuries during the violence. Multiple Delhi Police, RAF and CRPF personnel were also injured in the clashes.Delhi Police has maintained that allegations of the force using pellet guns against protesters are “false and misleading”, reiterating its position in a statement on its official X handle. According to the police, more than 65 protesters and over 200 police personnel were injured during the clashes.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
