NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet today gave its nod for issuing two Ordinances including the one to authorise expenditure beyond April one in centrally-ruled Uttarakhand in view of the political crisis there.
The other Ordinance seeks to bring in changes in the Enemy Property Act, 1968. The Cabinet recommended repromulgation of an earlier ordinance issued in January as Parliament could not pass a bill to replace it within the stipulated time.
The decisions were taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by Home Minister Rajnath Singh in the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Brussels.
“The Union Cabinet today met and in view of the situation in Uttarakhand has recommended an Ordinance for the consideration of President. On March 18, the Budget could not be passed in the Uttarakhand Assembly. The Appropriation Bill was also not passed. (AGENCIES)
