In a setback for Mamata&nbsp;Banerjee, the Calcutta High Court on Monday dismissed the&nbsp;West Bengal government&rsquo;s plea for recalling its order that directed the National Human Rights Commission&nbsp;to examine all cases of alleged post-poll violence in the state.
Rejecting the plea, a 5-judge bench headed by acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal observed that its earlier order was passed after the state failed to inspire the court&rsquo;s confidence. The bench also said that the court does not find any occasion to modify or stay its earlier ruling.
The West Bengal government had claimed that it was not given adequate opportunity to place all facts on record, including the steps taken by the state government to address the issues relating to post-poll violence.

Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has an advice for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who has been consistently attacking the Modi government on its Covid vaccination policy. The minister on Monday appealed to the Congress MP to get himself vaccinated against Covid-19.

Last week, Congress said that party chief Sonia Gandhi has taken both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and that Rahul Gandhi could not take the jab as he contracted the coronavirus disease in May. A senior party functionary had told PTI that Rahul Gandhi was scheduled to take the vaccine on May 16, but he tested positive for the coronavirus disease a day before.

Delhi's wait for rain just got a little longer. The weather department has said that the progress of the southwest monsoon over parts of Rajasthan, western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi is likely to be slow.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced that his government will soon implement a two-child policy for availing benefits under the state govt schemes.
&ldquo;Be it a loan waiver or any other government scheme, we will slowly implement a population policy for these schemes,": the CM said. He, however, added that the population norms will not be applicable to tea garden workers and SC/ST communities. The new policy will be imposed on all others availing benefits from the government in future because the population policy has already started in Assam, Sarma told reporters.

The Assam cabinet had also taken a decision that no government jobs will be given to those who have more than two children after January 1, 2021.

Beginning June 21, the Centre will provide free vaccines to everyone above the age of 18. Pre-registration on the government&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/new-feature-on-cowin-you-can-now-correct-errors-update-covid-certificate-1623232411711" target="_blank">CoWin portal</a> will no longer be mandatory and all vaccination centres will be allowed to provide onsite registration.
After several states communicated the difficulties in managing the funding, procurement and logistics of vaccines which affected the pace of the overall vaccination drive, the Centre has changed gears from its 'liberalised and accelerated'&nbsp; policy to a new system wherein it will buy 75 per cent of the vaccines and distribute them among the states free of cost.
States will have the liberty to prioritise the target groups in the 18+ age category factoring the vaccine supply schedule.
The Centre will distribute doses based on population, caseload, vaccine wastage among other factors.
Private hospitals will be able to procure 25% of the vaccine production, however, this time the states will aggregate the demand so that all hospitals receive equitable share.
