Hotel Association Raises GST Rate Concern
Office bearers of the Udaipur Hotel Association, including President Surendra Singh Karohi and Senior Vice President Rajesh Agrawal, presented a memorandum regarding the proposed changes in GST rates for September.

Panchayat Samiti member Surajmal Meena and Administrator Meera submitted a petition for approval of a sub-health center in Aad village, Popalti Gram Panchayat, noting that the village, with a population of around 1,800, lacks a sub-health center and that no such facility exists within a 10-kilometre radius.
