Centre Unveils Plan To Monetise Underutilised Assets
Only underutilised assets will be monetised and ownership will remain with the government, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said while unveiling the National Monetisation Pipeline plan. A cross-party delegation led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss holding a caste-based Census and called on him to take the appropriate decision. The government has called an all-party meeting on Thursday to discuss the crisis in Afghanistan. India is evacuating citizens stranded in Afghanistan and has been allowed to operate two flights per day from Kabul.
