The Union government has no plans to create a new police district for Uri in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. His response came in reply to a query raised by Baramulla MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh.
Lakshadweep Administration Grants Housing Permissions for Contract Employees
In a separate discussion, Rai stated that the Lakshadweep Administration has granted permission for local accommodation boards across all islands to consider requests from contract employees for allotment of government quarters, subject to availability. However, priority will be given to eligible regular employees in accordance with prevailing rules.
The allotment process, the Minister explained, requires contract employees to pay three times the standard licence fee, similar to the policy applicable to government employees for higher-category accommodations. Furthermore, as per existing guidelines, contract employees must vacate the allotted quarter within one month of receiving notice if a regular employee applies or if an administrative requirement arises. Before the allocation is made, contract employees are required to submit an undertaking, and a seniority list of applicants is published before final allotment decisions are made.
Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 Introduced in Lok Sabha
The Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday by Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, on behalf of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The bill seeks to modernize and consolidate India's immigration laws and streamline regulations governing foreigners entering and exiting the country.
Speaking in Parliament, Rai outlined key provisions of the bill, stating:
"On behalf of Amit Shah, I propose that the requirement of a passport or travel document be settled in respect of persons entering and exiting India. Certain powers shall be granted to the Central Government to regulate matters related to foreigners, including visa requirements, registration, and other necessary permissions. The bill aims to establish a comprehensive framework for handling immigration-related matters."
However, the bill faced strong opposition from Congress MP Manish Tewari from Chandigarh, who argued that it violates multiple fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India.
The introduction of the Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 marks a significant step in the government’s effort to overhaul existing immigration laws, while debates over its constitutional implications continue in the Parliament.
