Durg, September 11 (IANS). Chhattisgarh Home Affairs Minister Vijay Sharma spoke to reporters at the BJP office on Thursday. During this, he provided detailed information on the great release made in GST and the recent anti -Naxal campaign. Home Affairs Minister Vijay Sharma said the central government had decided not to impose tax on revenue ranging from 5 lakh to 12 lakh calls, giving the taxpayers great relief. He said that before the implementation of GST on July 1, 2017, there were 17 types of taxes and 13 types of stops in the country, which caused the general public and traders problems. State governments used to be arbitrarily implemented tax. The Minister of Home Affairs said the government decided last year not to tax the annual revenue of 12 Lakh. In GST, only two sheets were replaced by only two plates in GST. Taxes on all useful items were reduced to zero and tax in many products was reduced by 10 percent.

He said deep condolences to the death of teachers that anyone who kills the teacher will not be admitted to any form of rehabilitation policy. When demanding the police recruitment, he said that the previous government had not recruited a single policeman within five years, while the current government is constantly working to strengthen the police force and the recruitment process is regularly underway. During this time, the Minister of Home Affairs expressed the confidence that this policy and strict position of the government will not only strengthen the economy, but also ensure peace and development in the state. -Ians DKP/ Share these Story Tags
