Will knock the door of SC if rights of Himachal Pradesh not given by the Centre: CM
Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has said that he will meet the Union Ministers to release the aid to Himachal under the Post Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA).
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking a probe into the murder of advocate Tika Lal Taploo in Kashmir valley in 1989 by terrorists.
The bench of Justices BR Gavai and CT Ravikumar refused to hear the matter saying it had not entertained a similar matter that came before it recently. “We are not inclined to interfere…,” said the bench while granting the liberty to the petitioner to avail of alternate remedies. The petitioner then withdrew the plea.

The apex court gave the NGO liberty to move a representation before the central government.
