  "summary": "The Haryana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has approved amendments to the state's Agniveer policy, aiming to facilitate the rehabilitation and gainful employment of Ex-Agniveers. The amendments exempt Ex-Agniveers from various examinations required for direct recruitment to Group-C posts and consider them for direct appointment against advertised posts. Additionally, Ex-Agniveers are exempted from the Physical Screening Test (PST) and Physical Measurement Test (PMT) for selected posts such as Wildlife Guard, Constable in the Indian Reserve Battalion, Constable in the State Disaster Response Force, and Fire Operator-cum-Driver. The cabinet also approved the continuation of the sixth State Finance Commission's recommendations for fund devolution to local bodies from the financial year 2026-27 until the next commission's recommendations are available.",
