Nepal appoints new Foreign Minister, says PM’s India visit soon

[ad_1]
Kathmandu: Nepali Congress leader N.P. Saud was on Sunday appointed the country’s new Foreign Minister – filling the key post that was lying vacant for over one and half months.
Saud, who is considered close with former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, was administered the oath of office and secrecy by President Ram Chandra Poudel.
After assuming the office, he said that homework for the India visit of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ will now begin.

“I have just assumed office today… I will take a briefing from the officials regarding the India visit of the Prime Minister,” Saud said after assuming the office.
“We will strengthen our ties with the neighbouring countries,” he added.
A slew of agreements across various sectors are expected to be signed during Prachanda’s visit, including signing of an agreement for the construction of the Raxaul-Kathmandu railway with India’s financial assistance as its detailed project report (DPR) has been prepared by the Indian consultant Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd (KRCL).
The KRCL has already handed over the DPR to India’s Ministry of External Affairs.

To discuss the DPR of the 136-km-long railway that will link Kathmandu with the Indian town Raxaul, Nepal and India are holding a meeting of their joint working group on railway by the end of this week, said an senior official at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport.
Some other agreements and issues related to development of two hydropower projects in Nepal, energy cooperation, trade, commerce, digital payments, import of wheat, air routes, water resources, transit, cross-border transmission line among others will be signed or discussed in the visit.

JK Administration Appoints 10k Lumberdars And Chowkidars, CS Applauds Achievement

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Administration has nearly completed the appointment of 10,000 educated and young individuals from different villages across the Union Territory as Lumbedars and Village Guards (Chowkidars). This reformative measure, which began a few months ago, aims to strengthen the grassroots level of governance in the region.
The information was revealed during a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary, Dr Arun Kumar Mehta, and attended by various officials including the DG, CID; Commissioner Secretary GAD; Commissioner Secretary IT & Information; Divisional Commissioners; Secretary PD&MD; Secretary, Revenue, and all Deputy Commissioners of the UT, either physically or virtually.
Dr Mehta commended both the Divisional and District Administration for achieving this feat in record time. He emphasized the need to provide training to these young individuals to sensitize them about their important role as frontline workers who must work for the welfare and well-being of their villages.
He urged authorities to ensure that these workers are given due respect and recognition as they will act as a bridge between the common masses and higher authorities. He advised the creation of a WhatsApp group for these workers to enable continuous communication between them and the District and Divisional Administration.
Dr Mehta noted that as these workers are educated and have a good reputation in their villages, their services will be authentic, genuine, and seamless with respect to ground level verification about the implementation of different welfare programs. He emphasized their role in reporting malpractices such as encroachment of state land and other incidents of laxity or unprofessional conduct on the part of government officials in their respective villages. Their reporting will be vital in taking action against the delinquents.
The Chief Secretary highlighted that these workers’ role during accidents and disasters in their areas would provide the Administration with instant information for early intervention and rescue operations. He also noted that they would act as a link between people and the administration to raise genuine grievances before the authorities for timely redressal.
The meeting revealed that there are 7,056 sanctioned posts of Lumbedars and 2,718 posts of Chowkidars in the UT. Out of these, 2,220 previously appointed Lumbedars and 1,165 Chowkidars were found eligible to continue working after verifying their character and antecedents. The process was initiated to replace the 4,832 Lumbedars and 1,553 Chowkidars who were found worth replacing as per the rules in vogue. All candidates, including the old continuing ones, were selected based on merit and their character and antecedents were verified by concerned authorities.
The meeting also discussed revamping the role and responsibilities of these workers as per the requirements of modern times. This will bring a change in the administration, transforming it towards a more responsive, responsible, transparent, and accountable entity in discharging its day-to-day affairs.(KNO)

DMRCL dispute: Delhi HC appoints former CJI Ramana as sole arbitrator

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has appointed former Chief Justice of India, N.V. Ramana as the sole arbitrator to settle a dispute between Arvind Techno Globe and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRCL).
A bench of Justice Chandra Dhari Singh’s ruling came in response to concerns raised by petitioner Arvind Techno Globe over the independence of the candidates named by the DMRCL to serve as arbitrators.
“Justice N.V. Ramana, former Chief Justice of India is appointed as a sole arbitrator to adjudicate the disputes between the parties which have arisen under the Contract Agreement dated July 22, 2013,” the order stated.
Justice Singh further stated that the Delhi International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) (Administrative Cost and Arbitrators Fees) Regulations, 2018, must be followed for paying the arbitrator’s fees.
He ordered the parties be present before the arbitrator within 10 days.
The payment that DMRCL owes to Arvind Techno Globe for work completed under their 2013 contract gave rise to a disputes between the parties.
The petitioner claims that the project it was given by the DMRCL was finished in 2018, following a 27-month delay that it blamed on the DMRCL’s conduct.
Following the completion of the work, the petitioner made multiple claims totaling Rs 20,64,14,428. Nonetheless, it is claimed that DMRCL has refuted this assertion.

The parties initially sought to resolve their disputes through conciliation, but when that process did not end in a fair amount of time, they moved on to arbitration.
In addition, the petitioner claimed that the DMRCL had declined to appoint an independent arbitral tribunal. Because of this, the petitioner brought a claim under Section 11 (appointment of arbitrators) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before the High Court.
The petitioner informed the court that the DMRCL has proposed five names in defiance of the ruling rendered by the Supreme Court in the case of Voestalpine Schienen GmbH vs. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.
The DMRCL recommended the names of individuals who either came from the Indian Railway Service of Engineers (IRSE) or the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL).
None of these candidates, according to the DMRCL, which is a joint venture between the Delhi and the Central governments, were connected to the DMRCL.
The seventh schedule to the Arbitration Act, which deals with the disqualification of people from being appointed as arbitrators due to probable bias, is therefore not applicable to these people, according to it.
After noting that there was no disagreement as to whether the issue was of an arbitral nature, the court eventually opted to refer the matter to a single arbitrator it selected.
“As agreed on behalf of the parties, this Court finds it appropriate to refer the disagreements arising between the parties with respect to the Contract Agreement dated July 22, 2013 to an independent sole arbitrator for its redressal,” the judge said and disposed of the plea.
