The state cabinet, headed by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, on Tuesday approved the setting up of six new medical colleges at a cost of Rs 1,547 crore. Half of them will come up in the tribal-dominated districts — Mandla, Sheopur and Mandsaur.
The other three will be built in Singrauli, Rajgarh and Neemuch. Announcing this after Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, home minister Narottam Mishra said, “It must be mentioned that in the Congress regime, before the BJP government with Shivraj Singh Chouhan as CM, there were only five medical colleges in the state. Today, there are 20.” P4
Death for child rape bill withdrawn
The MP cabinet on Tuesday withdrew the Criminal Law MP(Amendment) Bill 2017 that carried provision of death penalty for rape of minor girls. This was done as the Centre has passed the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2018 in Parliament, raising minimum punishment for rape of women from seven years to 10 years. “In 2017, because little girls were being raped, we sent a law to the Centre for approval. But the Centre, in 2018, made the law themselves. Our law which was sent for assent of the President has been sent back and the cabinet decided to withdraw the same on Tuesday,” home minister said.
