Pudukottai (Tamil Nadu), April 11 (IANS) With the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections just days away, M. K. Stalin stepped up his campaign on Saturday, visiting Pudukottai district and engaging directly with voters as part of an intensified outreach drive.

Leaders from all major parties are crisscrossing constituencies, holding public meetings and roadshows in a bid to consolidate support ahead of polling day. As part of his campaign schedule, Stalin began his day with a morning walk in Iluppur, where he interacted with local residents, traders and party cadres.

56.04 crore Jan Dhan accounts have nearly 2.63 lakh crore deposit balance: Minister

New Delhi, Aug 19 (IANS) About 56.04 crore accounts with a deposit balance of Rs 2,62,858.50 crore have been opened under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), out of which 4.82 crore accounts are zero-balance accounts (as on July 30), Minister of State for Finance, Pankaj Chaudhary, said on Tuesday.

The number of PMJDY accounts opened since July 2, 2025 stands at 0.27 crore, the minister informed the Parliament.

The government emphasises not just opening PMJDY accounts but ensuring their active use. Focus areas include regular transactions, use of overdraft facility, deposits and digital engagement via RuPay cards.

PMJDY accounts receive Direct Benefit Transfers (DBTs) from the government schemes and account holders can access credit facility under various schemes like Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), Stand Up India, PM Street Vendor’s AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) etc.

Eligible and willing accountholders are encouraged to enroll in social security schemes namely, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), and Atal Pension Yojana (APY).

“As on 30.07.2025, out of total PMJDY account holders, 7.24 crore and 17.58 crore have enrolled in PMJJBY and PMSBY respectively, enhancing financial security and inclusion,” said Chaudhary.

“Out of 56.04 crore accounts opened under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), 13.05 crore accounts are inoperative. This data is shared by Banks with RBI. This data is also available under the Right to Information Act, 2005,” the minister said.

As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, a savings or current account is treated as inoperative or dormant if there are no customer-induced transactions for over two years. Banks continuously monitor the percentage of operative accounts and the progress is being regularly monitored by the government.

Recently, a Gram Panchayat-level campaign has been launched across the country, wherein reactivation of inactive PMJDY accounts is one of the key focus activities of the campaign.

Authorities not strengthening safety norms: NCP(SP)’s Jayant Patil on U’khand helicopter crash

New Delhi, June 15 (IANS) NCP(SP)’s Jayant Patil has raised serious concerns over recurring helicopter crashes in Uttarakhand, particularly in the Kedarnath region, following the latest tragic incident that claimed multiple lives, including two from Maharashtra.

He called it a matter of grave concern, urging the government to urgently review and tighten helicopter safety protocols in the area.

“This is a very serious matter. Such incidents keep happening there repeatedly, and I don’t understand why the authorities don’t strengthen the safety norms,” said Patil.

“I believe that in the last two years, there have been about five such major accidents, with many lives lost on a large scale, yet the helicopter business continues to operate in that area,” he added.

The helicopter crash in Rudraprayag’s Gaurikund area in Uttarakhand took place around 5.20 a.m. in a densely wooded zone between Gaurikund and Sonprayag, specifically in the remote area of Gauri Mai Khark.

As soon as the incident was reported, rescue teams were immediately dispatched under the direction of SDRF commander Arpan Yaduvanshi.

Meanwhile, Swami Sadanand Saraswati Maharaj said, “A tragic incident has occurred once again. We must learn from such accidents. In the past, our ancestors undertook pilgrimages to these ancient holy sites on foot. Today, with increased facilities, we rely on modern conveniences for religious journeys, which is good, but there is a great need for caution and safety…”

A team from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) reached the helicopter crash site and recovered all seven charred bodies.

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and local police were also involved in the rescue operations.

All seven people on board a helicopter en route from Kedarnath Dham to Guptkashi were killed when the chopper crashed and went up in flames in a forested area near Gaurikund.

Among the deceased was a 23-month-old child.

The ill-fated aircraft, a Bell 407 with registration VT-BKA, operated by Aryan Aviation, was flying on the sector ‘Shri Kedarnath ji – Aryan Helipad, Guptkashi’ when it crashed during its brief 10-minute flight.

K’taka govt to implement stronger law against microfinance menace

Bengaluru, Jan 30 (IANS) Karnataka government on Thursday conveyed the second high-level meeting on issues faced by the public due to the highhandedness of microfinance institutions.

The meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah where it was decided to review the provisions of the proposed Ordinance and implement a stronger law.

“A decision has been made to review the provisions of the ordinance formulated to prevent harassment by microfinance institutions and to implement a stronger law as soon as possible. A team of senior officials from the Law and Finance Departments will be formed for this purpose,” said Siddaramaiah.

He added that it was also decided that the law must be completely constitutional and free from any loopholes, adding that a strong law is being drafted to prevent the harassment faced by borrowers and to regulate forced recoveries by lenders.

“The law will grant greater authority to the police. Ombudsmen will be appointed, and strict punishments, including non-bailable offences and heavy penalties, will be imposed on those who engage in inhumane and forceful loan recoveries,” the Chief Minister said.

He further assured that a stringent law is being enforced to prevent harassment by unregistered moneylenders.

“The existing legal framework already has provisions to control harassment by microfinance institutions. The question arises as to why they are not being effectively implemented. The police must take suo motu action and register cases without waiting for complaints,” he said.

A series of incidents of suicide and harassment were reported across the state due to the alleged harassment by microfinance companies.

A female teacher committed suicide by jumping into a river, allegedly due to harassment by microfinance staffers in Karnataka’s Davanagere district, said officials, adding that her body was found on Tuesday.

The victim has been identified as Pushpalatha, who had gone missing on January 26.

In another incident, a man reportedly died of a heart attack allegedly caused by harassment from microfinance staffers in Tumakuru district. The deceased has been identified as Syed Samiulla.

Following his death, Samiulla’s wife, Tabassum Banu, pleaded with the authorities for help. She alleges that the staffers are now targeting her, and this harassment could push her and her children to consider suicide.

A woman in the Mysuru district of Karnataka committed suicide fearing torture by the microfinance company staffers. Mysuru is the native district of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The incident was reported from Ambale village in Mysuru district and the deceased was identified as 53-year-old Jayasheela. The police on January 27 said the woman had ended her life by consuming poisonous tablets.

Earlier, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah held a high-level meeting on the issues faced by the people due to microfinance institutions.

Addressing the press conference at Vidhana Soudha after the meeting on January 25, the Chief Minister announced that the government was committed to protecting the interests of borrowers who take loans from microfinance institutions
