Railways to reconsider GST on Toilet Contracts



Good news:
You all may not be aware but as of now if you use a Pay and Use toilet, it includes GST of 18 %.
I had requested Railway Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu to exempt Toilet contracts from GST as they are the basic requirement of all commuters.
I am pleased to inform you that the Railway Minister has acceded to our Alert Citizens Forum request and has instructed concerned officials accordingly.
Thank you Suresh Prabhu ji.
Regards,
Dayanand Nene

The Vanjari caste Nowadays, it has become fashion to tomtom your backwardness if you are in politics, govt sector or education. For obvious reasons. We find many political leaders proclaiming that they are backward - because that is what sells now. Hence, I decided to study the origins of various castes to find out who is more backward and how. Today, I give information about the Vanjari caste. The Vanjari is a community in India; they live spread throughout the country but have a sizeable population in the state of Maharashtra. They are also present in parts of Andhra Pradesh particularly in the districts of Telangana region. A Vanjari or a trader seems to be an occupational description, as it is etymologically identical with Vanijya which means trade or commerce. These tribes were in the past engaged in carrying grain and supplies for armies, before the time of cart-roads and railways. Thane Vanjaries are settled in 24 Villages in Thane District Viz.
