Chhattisgarh cabinet gives nod to amend rules to appoint kin of cops martyred in Naxal violence
RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai in his cabinet meeting on Wednesday approved to amend rules for appointing on compassionate grounds the family members of the police personnel killed in Naxal violence in the state. Keeping in view the supreme sacrifice of the martyred police personnel, state cabinet has approved a pivotal change in Clause 13(3) of the Unified Revised Instructions-2013 . As per the revised policy, any eligible family member — male or female of a police personnel martyred in Naxalite violence can now be appointed on compassionate grounds in any department of the state government , not just the police department. This appointment can be made in any district or division across the state , based on the family's preference, said a govt release. Previously, such appointments were restricted to the same department or office where the deceased government employee had served. The reform comes days after the tragic death of Additional Superintendent of Police Akash Rao Girepunje, who was martyred in an IED blast planted by Naxalites in Sukma district's Konta division on June 9. This move is being seen as a humane and flexible step toward supporting bereaved families, giving them broader options for employment and rehabilitation. State Mineral Exploration Trust (SMET) to Be Formed The cabinet gave a green signal to the formation of the State Mineral Exploration Trust (SMET)to oversee systematic exploration, prospecting, and infrastructure development for minor mineralsacross Chhattisgarh. Funded by 2% of royalty revenuesfrom minor minerals, the trust aims to use advanced technologies and data systemstoenhance exploration and sustainability in the sector.

Chhattisgarh cabinet gives nod to amend rules to appoint kin of cops martyred in Naxal violence
'Keeping in view the supreme sacrifice of the martyred police personnel, the cabinet has decided to amend Clause 13 (3) of the Unified Revised Instructions-2013 issued for compassionate appointment, following which in case of police personnel martyred in Naxalite violence, any eligible member (male or female) of their family can be given compassionate appointment in any other department, other than the police department, in any district or division of the state, on the basis of option,' an official release said. This decision was taken during a meeting of the state cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai here. Raipur, Jun 18 (PTI) The Chhattisgarh cabinet on Wednesday gave its approval to amend rules for appointing on compassionate grounds the family members of the police personnel killed in Naxal violence in the state.

The students of these communities were deprived of these facilities as they were not included in the list of Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes due to some technical reasons, it said. The students of these communities will also be provided the facility of admission in hostels-ashrams (residential schools) under the approved seats, it said. The cabinet also gave a nod to draft notification for setting up 'State Mineral Exploration Trust' (SMET) for systematic exploration, prospecting and development of infrastructure for minor minerals in Chhattisgarh, it said.
