Half in new survey believe news organizations mislead, misinform public
A new survey found that half of Americans believe that national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public.
More than half of the Americans surveyed, 53 percent, in the Knight Foundation and Gallup poll said they held an unfavorable opinion of the media, which was down slightly from 2020 levels.
“This study suggests that many Americans are not solely skeptical of news today — they feel distrust on an emotional level, believing news organizations intend to mislead them and are indifferent to the social and political impact of their reporting,” the report says.
The poll found that just 35 percent of those surveyed said that they think most national news organizations can be relied on to deliver necessary Information, while 72 percent said they think those organizations have enough resources and opportunities to deliver the information accurately.
More than half of respondents said that they do not think that national news organizations “care about the best interests” of their audience, and just 35 percent said that they think that news organizations care about how their reporting affects society.
However, Americans’ views shifted when asked specifically about local news organizations versus national news organizations.
Fifty-three percent of respondents said that they think that local news organizations care about how their reporting affects society, and 47 percent said that local news organizations “care about the best interests” of their audience.
Most Americans said that local news organizations were reliable to get the information that they need, and 44 percent said that local news organizations do not intend to mislead the public.
Sixty-five percent of Americans also said that they believe local news organizations have enough resources and opportunities to deliver the information they need.
The polling comes as local news outlets are on the decline as local newspapers are closing at an average rate of two per week in the United States, according to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, Media and Integrated Marketing Communications.
Respondents said they have higher levels of emotional trust with local news organizations compared to national news organizations, with those having high emotional trust being more likely to pay to access news in the future, the survey found.
The survey also found that those who report lower levels of emotional trust in national news organizations prefer to get their news from “other” organizations besides the top-20 most-preferred news outlets. Those who prefer to get their news online are also more likely to report low levels of emotional trust in national news organizations, the survey found.
Those who said their top news source is U.S. network news, like ABC, CBS and NBC, are less likely to report low emotional trust in the media, but 45 percent who said their top news source is cable news, like CNN, Fox News or MSNBC, report low emotional trust in national news organizations.
The Knight Foundation and Gallup survey polled 5,593 American adults between May 31 and July 21, 2022. The margin of error is 1.5 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Councilwoman Teresa Loar tried giving the Kansas City Police Department an extra $5 million for the next fiscal year, starting May 1.
“More police officers means safer streets,” Loar said during Thursday’s meeting.
Loar was referencing a former U.S. attorney general who spoke three weeks ago.
“He continues to say cities around the country, when they finally realize that more police officers make safer streets, then violent crime will decrease,” Loar added.
The council voted on that addition at Thursday’s meeting, but it failed. Mayor Quinton Lucas was one of the ones who voted against that extra funding.
“When she presented that amendment and we all learned about that amendment the day of the meeting, it was not laid out what precisely that was going to,” Lucas said in an interview with FOX4 after the public part of KCPD’s Board of Police Commissioner’s meeting Tuesday.
Lucas said the city will likely give $280 million to the Kansas City Police Department this next fiscal year, a 6% increase from what the department got last year.
He also said the city is funding the department at the now required 25% threshold set by the state after voters statewide approved Amendment 4 in November.
“Last year, we had a pledge that if we put that much money in, we would be able to fund over 100 new officers,” Lucas said Tuesday. “We have not quite seen that yet, but we believe our 6% increase again would allow us to continue to catch up on those officer numbers, which is so important for us.”
Lucas also added the city’s already spending $20 million more than what it takes in, adding that the money for the police department outpaces almost every other department.

..As NCDC DG Lauds FCTA Over Management Of Pandemic
TOYIN ADEBAYO, ABUJA
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has charged royal fathers and Area Council Chairmen in the nation’s capital to take on the responsibility of educating and sensitizing residents at the grassroots level on the need to adhere to established protocols in the fight against COVID-19 in the FCT.
He made this known at an emergency COVID 19 meeting of stakeholders in the FCT including religious, traditional and political leaders.
The meeting also had in attendance the Director General of Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC), the National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID -19, Dr Sani Aliyu amongst other participants
Bello who chaired the meeting, expressed the appreciation of the FCTA to the frontline health workers and called for a standing ovation for them for their efforts in the fight against the virus in the FCT.
Speaking on the education and sensitization of residents at the grassroots level, the minister said that the onus of spreading the information of the virus at that level fell heavily on the shoulders on the Area Council Administration and traditional and religious institutions at that level.
He, however, pledged the Administration’s commitment to the fight against the virus, he said that defeating it required a collective responsibility by all and urged all the stakeholders to also play their part, by supporting the efforts of the Administration.
Earlier, the FCT Minister of State, Dr Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu also warned against the stigmatization of COVID 19 patients who, she stressed did not deliberately seek to be infected and like the FCT Minister, she also called for the collective efforts of all stakeholders in the fight against the virus.
Aliyu also asked residents to disregard misinformation that the government was involved in the spread of the virus and said they should instead focus on curbing its spread through the obedience to extant guidelines of wearing face masks, maintain personal hygiene and observing social distancing.
She also reminded all the stakeholders on community transmission which was on-going and said it would take collective efforts by all to stop its spread.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the (NCDC), Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu commended the FCT Administration for the construction of the road leading to the National Reference Laboratory at Gaduwa, Abuja which he said has increased the efficiency of the facility.
Ihekweazu also commended leadership of the FCT Administration for being proactive in its approach to battling the pandemic and also charged the traditional rulers on sensitizing the people at the grassroot level.
Also speaking, the National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr. Sani Aliyu, said that the best way to fight the virus is through an attitudinal change by the people. This, he said, is where the traditional and religious leaders come in through community engagement.
He disclosed that the virus was now in the communities, adding that the important issue residents should be concerned about is ‘staying alive’ while the pandemic lasts.
While briefing the meeting on the situation of the pandemic in the FCT, the State Epidemiologist, Dr. Doris John, gave an overview of the spread while also stressing on the rising level of community transmission.
She also stated that poor adherence to preventive measures increased the spread of the virus while late presentation of cases has led to increased number of fatalities.
She also mentioned that the major challenges faced by health workers in the fight against the pandemic are stigmatization and denial, myth and misconception, confirmed cases refusing to be evacuated to treatment centers, low involvement of key stakeholders at the community levels, increasing number of sick frontline health workers and the high number of imported cases to the FCT.
Speaking, the traditional rulers pledged their commitment to the fight against the virus in their communities.

Everton have revealed that they lost £120.9 million during the 2020-21 financial year.
The 2020-21 football season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to gate receipts of just £200,000 as only four games were played in front of fans.
As a result, Everton’s financial reports have suggested they were impacted to the tune of £103 million in the last financial year — and £170 million since March 2020 — by the outbreak of the virus.
Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri injected £100 million of new funds into the club last season, while he has also put a further £97 million in after the end of the last financial year.
The Merseyside club’s statement added: “The wide-ranging impact of COVID-19 on Everton — which further market analysis has indicated could include an additional £50m — covers lost revenues, additional costs due to strict COVID-19 playing protocols and a significant contraction in the transfer market which resulted in the inability to generate the level of transfer fees which could reasonably have been expected pre-pandemic.”
Everton also confirmed they have been working with the Premier League to ensure their ongoing compliance with the profitability and sustainability rules, as previously reported by The Athletic.
They added that they had reported a record turnover of £193.1 million. Everton are currently 17th in the Premier League.

U.S. Reportedly Considered Using Nuclear Weapons Against Afghanistan After 9/11Michael Steiner, a former political adviser to Germany's then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, told German publication Der Spiegel that the nuclear option was one of the possibilities examined after the terrorist attacks in the U.S.
The United States considered using nuclear weapons against Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to German publication Der Spiegel.
Michael Steiner, a former political adviser to Germany’s then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, told Der Spiegel that the nuclear option was one of the possibilities examined after the attacks.
From Israeli publication Haaretz, reporting on the story:
“The papers were written,” Steiner said when asked whether the U.S. [had] considered using nuclear weapons in response to the attacks orchestrated by Al-Qaida’s Osama bin Laden, in which almost 3,000 people were killed. “They had really played through all possibilities.”
Steiner added that Schroder had feared that the U.S., which was in a state of shock following the attacks, would overreact.
Moreover, Steiner said in the interview that Schroder rejected his idea to publish a statement declaring “unconditional support” for the United States.
Tensions between Schroder and U.S. President George Bush intensified in 2003 when the chancellor refused to join U.S.-led coalition in the military campaign against Iraq.

Stillwater police investigate rash of bicycle thefts
Stillwater police are investigating a rash of bicycle thefts that have been reported since the beginning of the fall semester at Oklahoma State University.
Police said 32 bicycles have been reported stolen. Police said the majority of the bicycles have been stolen in the overnight hours, and many of the bicycles were secured with locks.
Police said many of the thefts have been reported in densely populated areas, such as apartment complexes.
Residents with information about the thefts are asked to call the Stillwater Police Department at 405-372-4171.


The Catalan Minister of the Interior, Miquel Sàmper, has recognized that it is “impossible” for Mossos d’Esquadra and the local police officers control compliance with the restrictions in “each house” to avoid the contagion of the coronavirus, before which it has encouraged citizens to denounce those who skip the measures.
At a press conference, Sàmper announced that the Mossos and the local police will expand their coordination to carry out a control “more exhaustive” of the non-compliance with the restrictions of the one that occurred in the first phase of the pandemic,60,000 complaints have already been processed, of which more than 3,000 have already been paid.
The counselor has appealed to the “co-responsibility” of citizens when limiting their contacts within the scope of their “bubble” of coexistence and also, in the case of people who comply with the restrictions, to alert the police if they detect that more people gather in a neighboring house than is allowed.
“Important improvement” in the coordination between Mossos and local police
“The police officers have to know the sources” where the restrictions are breached, stressed Sàmper, who acknowledged that it was wrong for him to ask people to report their neighbors if they fail to comply with prevention measures, but that I had to do it because “it is reality.”
The minister has also announced that they have agreed on a “major improvement” in the coordination between the Mossos and the local police, which from now on they will have to report a daily report on the troops affected by coronavirus and the complaints that have been filed with individuals and locals for bypassing the restrictions of the administrations to combat the coronavirus.
“With the same numbers, we will be more effective”, Sàmper has guaranteed, which nevertheless has insisted that neither the Mossos nor the local police can reach everywhere, so it has asked for citizen collaboration to denounce those who violate the restrictions, since “they can harm those who They do it right”.
And this is not for the purpose of collecting funds, the minister has pointed out, but to discourage attitudes that can put public health at risk, which in case of recidivism it can carry penalties of up to 6,000 euros.
Sàmper has detailed that so far already 60,000 complaints have been processed by the security forces in Catalonia during the first phase of the pandemic, of which more than 3,000 have already been collected, mostly for the minimum amount of 300 euros, which is also reduced by 40% if paid instantly.


India has recorded its largest ever coronaviral outbreak, with more than 6,000 cases of coronaviruses in the country and more than 30,000 deaths.
More than 1.2 million people are now under emergency lockdown in the six-member southern state of Kerala, with the state’s Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, declaring a state of emergency, with emergency personnel deployed at hospitals.
The state is also on high alert, with state police and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams deployed in areas around the capital.
The coronavirinuses that cause the illness, known as coronavillavirus (CVD), are different to those that cause acute respiratory infections, or the flu.
They are a combination of viruses that can cause mild illness, pneumonia and diarrhea, which can be fatal.
It’s not clear why the coronovirus outbreak is different from other coronavil infections, but the coronivirus is still not widely known in India.
The Indian National Health Service (NHS) said the virus was spread mainly through direct contact with infected people.
But it said more people could have contracted the coronacids from infected people who had sneezed, or who had been exposed to infected air during an emergency or while in an unhygienic workplace.
In a news conference on Friday, Mr Vijayan said he would travel to Kerala on Friday to check the health of those in the state.
Mr Vijayan has repeatedly stressed the need to prevent the spread of the coronapid, and said that India should not be complacent and ignore the situation.
He also warned that the coronocid would continue to spread even after the outbreak ends.
The chief minister also declared a state emergency for the entire country, including the capital, New Delhi, on Friday.
“This is a very serious situation.
We need to take all measures to protect people and to ensure the health and safety of everyone,” Mr Vijayans spokesman, Anupam Madan, told reporters.
However, in an interview on Friday with the Indian Express newspaper, Mr Madan said India should work with the United Nations to help control the spread and eradicate the virus.
India, which has the world’s highest population, is one of the countries that has not had an outbreak of the CVD.
Vijayan says emergency rule over Kerala has been declared after ‘overwhelming’ data from Kerala Police Chief Ramesh Kumar, who confirmed that 1,200 cases of COVID-19 had been reported in the district.
According to the State Health Department, the district has recorded 1,965 confirmed cases, including 744 deaths, as of Thursday.
Kerala has also recorded 6,711 deaths from coronaviraetys coronaviroids, with a further 3,824 confirmed cases.
Cases of COV-19 in Kerala have been reported at hospitals, but most cases are reported to health officials, said a senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A total of 11,811 cases of the disease have been confirmed in the State, the health official said.
While the Chief Minister has said the state is on high alerts, he did not elaborate on what precautions were being taken.
There is a huge demand for the virus control, the official said, adding that Kerala has had a large-scale vaccination campaign since 2014.
Health officials have said that about 100,000 people have been vaccinated since then, with over 30,500 in the first phase.
On Friday, the Chief Medical Officer of Kerala and Kerala State President, Dr Rajyavardhanan, confirmed that the number of confirmed cases in the city had reached 6,300, with an additional 3,000 patients receiving the second dose of COVA-19 vaccine.
Chief Minister and Kerala Chief Minister also announced the closure of schools, hospitals, airports and public transport, and also announced that the state would launch the coronaccine campaign by April 30.
People who do not need to be in a state-run health facility, will be allowed to travel outside the state, the chief minister said, without giving any details.
Officials in Kerala are also urging people to not take any steps that might harm themselves.
‘I am going to come to India’ The Chief Minister of Kerala has promised to visit India and speak to people who are in a position to speak out.
Dr Rameshawan said he was in India on a humanitarian mission to offer a free vaccination programme, which will begin on Thursday.
The Chief Medical officer said he has already visited a few districts, including Malappuram, Ernakulam, Visakhapatnam and Kochi.
He has also visited Delhi and other cities, but has not been able to get any


No conservative should really welcome tax increases of any kind. But if there is one for which we should really hold the line, it’s the charitable deduction. It’s not surprising that the Obama administration would want to do away with it; charities are one of the most important ways that a society can take care of itself — and its poor and needy — without relying on government.
Lessen charities’ funding means reducing their reach and power. Doing that through effectively increasing taxes — that is, the state taking more instead — is helping President Obama put the government at the center of every American’s life, especially for those in need.

Condemning the recent spurt of terror attacks in Paris and Mali, Modi said the menace of terrorism was the biggest challenge facing humanity. During the meeting on the sidelines of Asean-India Summit in Kuala Lumpur, the Prime Minister said that there was a need for the international community to eschew their political differences and unite to face this menace, external affairs ministry Spokesman Vikas Swarup told reporters.
Modi said that countries should put aside their political differences and came together to help the affected. He said that both India and China faced the threat of terrorism and there was a need to increase strategic coordination. On his part, Li said China was against terrorism and cooperation between the two countries on terrorism would help Asia become more safe.
The two leaders felt that slowing down of global trade offers an opportunity for both India and China to work together and become drivers of global growth. Li noted that India had maintained its growth momentum despite global downturn and its flagship initiatives like ‘Make un India’, ‘Digital India’ offered opportunities for Chinese to partner with India, Swarup said.
The two sides were unanimous that developed countries must provide assistance in capacity building and technology transfer to developing countries, the spokesperson added. Modi also briefed Li on the Solar Alliance to make solar energy and invited China to consider joining the alliance. The two leaders also discussed economic cooperation and Modi said India wanted to benefit from Chinese expertise. Modi also noted that Electronic Authorisation Visa had helped more Chinese travel to India.
Li said that China and India—the world’s two largest developing countries—have more common interests than divergences. “China and India boosting mutual trust and cooperation will not only achieve win-win results, but also contribute to the peace, development and prosperity of Asia and the world at large,” Li said.

The government will soon be ramping up its public education efforts regarding agricultural matters in the territory.
This is according to Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley, who recently announced that there are plans to build a reservoir at Paraquita Bay to support farmers in the area.
At the time, the Premier expressed satisfaction that the Food Security and Sustainability Act, 2022 received royal assent.
“We now officially have a new legal framework within which to advance agriculture. Now that the Act is law, we are moving hastily to establish the Agriculture and Fisheries Authority to manage the sector as stated in the Act,” Premier Wheatley said at a recent press conference.
The territory’s leader described this as another important step being taken to advance agriculture and noted that in the weeks ahead, Cabinet will approve an official process that will provide farmers with the legal certainty they require to continue to confidently farm the land in that area.
The government also recently approved a Schedule of Additional Provisions (SAP) that the Premier said will fund the construction of the reservoir at Paraquita Bay as well as equipment to pump water from its wells.
When asked whether the government would be conducting any public education campaigns about this, the Premier noted that the bill has a lot of new information that persons need to be made aware of.
“We’re certainly going to, in combining with the the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and our Government Information Service, make sure that persons know about this new Act that has been assented to and also all of the other initiatives that we are doing in agriculture and fisheries,” the Premier said.
Dr Wheatley acknowledged that water has been a ‘vexing concern’ for farmers and said he wanted to let farmers know exactly what is taking place to be able to rectify the situation.
In the meantime, the Premier also advised that moves were being made to formalise the process of issuing land leases to farmers at Paraquita Bay.
These steps, Dr Wheatley said, will improve the ability of the territory’s hardworking farmers to produce food for the people, especially as prices continue to rise due to inflation.

U.S. oil benchmark WTI cost surpasses USD80, highest in 7 years
(MENAFN) On Friday, Oct. 8 cost of US crude oil benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) surged over USD80 per barrel for the first time in seven years.
Official figures showed that WTI crude oil price reached as high as USD80.11 a barrel ahead of 12.30 p.m. EDT (1630 GMT).
That represented the highest level since Nov. 3, 2014 when WTI price last witnessed the highest level of USD80.98 a barrel.
The peak in 2014 occurred a few weeks before Saudi Arabia-led OPEC was against a production reduction on Nov. 27, 2014 that had resulted in an oversupply in the market and led prices to fall radically for the following three years – an attempt by the cartel to kick US shale oil producers out of the market.

As world faces post-Covid challenges, SCO’s role very important: Modi
Speaking in Hindi, the Prime Minister said that the bloc contributes to 30 per cent of the global GDP, while 40 per cent of the world's population resides in the member countries.
Samarkand: Addressing the 22nd Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit here on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that as the world faces challenges of economic recovery after the global Covid-19 pandemic, the role of the SCO is very important.
Speaking in Hindi, the Prime Minister said that the bloc contributes to 30 per cent of the global GDP, while 40 per cent of the world’s population resides in the member countries.
He went on to say that the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the global pandemic have led to disruptions in global supply chains, leaving the world facing unprecedented energy and food crises.
Hence, the SCO should strive to develop “reliable, resilient and diversified” supply chains in the region, Modi added.
The Prime Minister announced the establishment of a new working group on startups and innovation, adding that the country is also making progress towards becoming a manufacturing hub.
He said that India’s economy is expected to grow 7.5 per cent this year, which is the highest among the world’s biggest economies.
He also spoke about food security, which he termed as a major challenge, and suggested that the cultivation and consumption of millets could be a possible solution.
The Prime Minister called millets “superfood”, adding that it could be a nutritious and low-cost alternative to overcome the food challenge.
Modi went on to say that 2023 will be celebrated as the UN International Year of Millets and “we should consider organizing a ‘Millet Food Festival’ under SCO”.
In his address, he also touted India as one of the most affordable countries for medical and wellness tourism and urged the SCO member nations to cooperate in the field of traditional medicine.

Airlines' fortunes have improved as pent-up demand for travel prompts customers to step out of the pandemic bubble, but the industry has been battling inflation pressures and staff shortages in a tight labor market.
This year's rout in equities and a drop in stock valuations has offered private equity firms an opportunity to buy companies on the cheap. Such firms were the chief driver of global deal-making in the first half of the year, even as mergers and acquisitions slowed due to hostile market conditions.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022 or the first quarter 2023, Atlas said.
AAWW shares gained $2.85, or 2.9%, to $99.62, while those for APO dwindled $1.49, or 2.6%, to $55.74.

KABUL, Afghanistan – The United States special envoy for Afghanistan Thomas West said he fears Afghanistan“could see a return to civil war in time”, calling the need for“political dialogue” in national level.
Without a serious“national political dialogue” about the future of the country among Afghans who have“genuine support in their community, I really do fear…. we could see a return to civil war in time,” West made the remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Highlight the current status of women rights in Afghanistan, West said Washington would support a stable Afghanistan in which the rights of all its people are ensured.
“We wish to see and to support the emergence of a peaceful and stable Afghanistan that never again harbors terrorists … in which the rights of all its people, women and men, boys and girls are upheld,” he said, as
But the deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate Bilal Karimi said that there is no need for national dialogue in the country, saying“all the challenges that previously existed are currently solved” and Afghanistan is now peaceful.
“The time for negotiations was when there was war in the country and there were many sides—there was an invasion—now here is a central government and the people are in a calm situation,” said Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.
The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly reacted to the international community's calls to form an inclusive government in Afghanistan, saying the government is already inclusive.
Earlier, several Afghan experts said the establishment of an inclusive government could be a pathway to end challenges that currently exist in Afghanistan, saying the conditions set by the international community are the demands of the Afghan people.
“Forming an inclusive government is an important factor for stabilizing security and the economy in Afghanistan,” said Sayed Harron Hashimi, a political expert.“Such a government, and women and girls' education, must be focused on.”
While world leaders, including international allies, insist on forming an inclusive government in Afghanistan is key for formal recognition of the current government, the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly defied the odds, saying its leadership has already taken steps towards such.
“The Islamic Emirate has always been committed to forming an inclusive government and took steps to prove it; on the other hand, it is an eternal issue of Afghanistan and Afghan people.”
International community lays off at least four conditions before recognizing Taliban government: forming an inclusive government, respect for the rights of women and girls and other minorities, as well as that Afghanistan not becoming a haven for insurgent groups.

Mumbai, Feb 20 (UNI) Union Minister for Rural Development Raghuvansh Prasad Singh today emphasised on the need for transparency and vigilance in the implmentation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) in the state and said that if the scheme is implemented properly in all the rural areas, the influx from the rural areas to the urban areas will come down.
The Union Minister said that if the villagers are able to earn a decent income in the rural areas, they will not go to the urban areas or bigger cities and the influx problem will be solved to some extent.
After reviewing the implementation of the scheme in the state, Mr Singh said that there is no shortage of money for the various schemes in the state and the authorities need to implement the schemes at a bigger level.
''The number of districts under the scheme in the state should increase rapidly,'' he said.
On the non-utilisation of funds in the state, the Union Minister said that the scheme is demand driven and the non-utilisation does not mean a failure or setback for the scheme.
He said that the government should consider payment of workers' wages through post office and bank accounts for ensuring transparency, as there are chances of the alloted funds getting misused.
Andhra Pradesh has 100 per cent post office accounts for the villagers and Karnataka is in a similar position, whereas a few districts in Jharkhand are also working through accounts, Mr Singh said.
He said that the nationalised banks should help the people in the rural areas by opening their accounts in the rural branches.
Harshvardhan Patil, the state Employment Guarantee Scheme Minister said that the state has alloted Rs 460 crore under the NREGA and has spent Rs 102 crore for the same last year, and has undertaken 9328 works out of which 1678 works are completed.
Mr Patil refuted the allegations that the funds were not fully utilised, adding that the demand for the schemes was less than expected and more than two lakh families have been benefitted.
The cabinet will take the decision on the unutilised funds, he added.
