Denied leave, Ballari Dy.SP writes warning letter to SP, other senior officers
Ballari: A deputy superintendent of police (Dy.SP) in Ballari district has generated widespread attention on social media after expressing his displeasure and issuing a warning to senior officers regarding his leave request. The letter penned by Sandur Dy.SP SS Kashi has gone viral, shedding light on the matter.
Reportedly, Dy.SP Kashi had sought permission from Ballari District Superintendent of Police Ranjith Kumar to take a month-long leave. He cited the necessity for engaging in meditation, prayer, and yoga to alleviate stress and enhance his ability to fulfill his duties effectively. However, the SP granted him only five days of leave, leading to the deputy superintendent's discontent.
In his letter addressed to senior officials, the Dy.SP voiced his dissatisfaction with the decision and issued a cautionary statement. He expressed concern that if his request for a month's leave is denied and he is compelled to resume duty after five days, any potential misconduct on his part would hold the authorities accountable.
Furthermore, the Dy.SP highlighted the lack of clarity regarding the denial of his leave request. He noted that he had not received a clear explanation as to whether his leave was being denied for a specific reason or if he lacked sufficient leave balance. He criticized the management's alleged bias, deception, and falsehood, which, according to him, only exacerbated his stress levels.

Maharashtra government reduces Ladki Bahin Yojana stipend for 8 lakh beneficiaries: Report
Mumbai: The Maharashtra government has reportedly cut down on the stipend received by eight lakh beneficiaries of the Mukhya Mantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana.
Under the revised structure, the beneficiaries will receive Rs 500 instead of Rs 1,500 per month because they already receive Rs 1,000 under another government scheme, the Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi (NSMN), as reported by the Times of India.
The Ladki Bahin scheme has the stipulation that its beneficiaries can avail other government schemes only if the benefit is capped at Rs. 1,500 per month.
“There has been an ongoing scrutiny. First to scan the applications that were sent by the districts to the state headquarters. And then to re-scrutinise the eligible cases,” TOI report quoted an official as saying.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had earlier said he expected the number of beneficiaries to reduce by 10-15 lakh after the scrutiny process. "We are not changing criteria or funding, just ensuring only eligible ones get the stipend," he claimed.
The Opposition remarked that the state government is cheating the women who voted them to power.
The Mahayuti government had launched the Ladki Bahin Yojana in July 2024, where it provides Rs 1,500 per month to eligible women under the scheme. In its poll manifesto ahead of the state Assembly elections, the Mahayuti had promised to increase the amount to Rs 2,100. However, this commitment has not been fulfilled.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra’s debt projection is Rs 9.3 lakh crore for 2025-26. The outlay for the Ladki Bahin scheme was reduced from Rs 46,000 crore to Rs 36,000 crore in the 2025-26 budget.
