Centre Frames Rs 3500 Crore Scheme For Industrial Development Of Ladakh, Awaits CCEA Nod

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Centre has formulated a scheme worth Rs 3500 crore for the industrial development of Ladakh Union Territory. The Union Ministry of Commerce has already approved the scheme, but the cabinet committee on economic affairs (CCEA) is yet to green light it. The scheme is modelled on a similar initiative launched in Jammu & Kashmir in 2021 with a financial outlay of Rs 28400 crore.
A report by the department-related parliamentary standing committee on commerce, states that the scheme was expected to launch in 2022-23. However, due to delays, it could not be launched until now. As per the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) approval, the scheme will utilize Rs 2.30 crore and Rs 97.30 crore in 2022-23 and 2023-24, respectively.
The parliamentary committee has recommended that the Centre take necessary measures to make the scheme operational, including pursuing the matter with the CCEA and revising the budgetary allocation as required. Once approved, the scheme can be swiftly implemented, according to the report.

Rs 986 cr for rail projects due for release from Telangana: Centre

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Union minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the Telangana government was yet to release Rs 265.34 crore for the completion of MMTS Phase-II works.
The minister further said that the state hasn’t responded to several letters written by the ministry of railways requesting the release.
In reply to a question raised by BJP MP K Laxman in Rajya Sabha on Monday, he stated that as per the estimated cost of the project which was Rs 816.55 crore, the ministry of railways and the state government were supposed to share the cost on 1:2 ratio, which meant that the Telangana’s matching grant came to Rs 544.36 crore.

“However, only Rs 279.02 crore till now,” said the Union minister.
Vaishnaw stated that out of the estimated cost of Rs 7350 crore for Manoharabad-Kothapalli, Bhadrachalam-Kovvuru, Akkannapet-Medak, Bhadrachalam-Sathupalli, Hyderabad MMTS Phase-II projects, works amounting to Rs 2588 crore have been completed.
As the state government’s matching grant was Rs 1279 crore in the above project works, the union minister held that Telangana was yet to release its share of Rs 986 crore for the five projects.

BRS to resist privatisation of Vizag Steel Plant; KTR writes to Centre

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday reiterated the party’s support to Vizag Steel Plant workers saying that the BRS would oppose the Central Government’s move to privatise the steel plant.
In an open letter to the Union Government, KTR said that the Narendra Modi government’s “evil plans” to sell off the VSP to private players, the reasons for the steel plant’s losses, and ways in which the plant could be revived.
“As part of the conspiracy to privatize the steel plant, VSP will be pushed into losses and the crisis will be shown as an excuse to hand it over to crony corporate companies. The central government did not allow the special iron ore mines to the steel plant. Due to this, the steel plant is forced to spend up to 60 per cent of its production cost on raw material,” he added.

He further said that on the other hand, the cost of raw materials in private companies’ production is less than 40 per cent as iron ore, coal and other mines were allotted to them.
BRS’s working president further said that VSP, which is forced to spend huge amounts on raw materials, is facing challenges as it is competing with private corporate companies in the market in terms of production.
It is facing losses as the enterprise has to sell at the same price as them in the market.
Minister KTR said that the enterprise is in distress as coking coal has to be imported, and iron raw materials needed for steel production are being bought at the market rate from NMDC.
“Due to this, more than 50 per cent of production had to be stopped for a year. All of this is part of a conspiracy to push the Vizag Steel Plant into losses and use it as an excuse to privatize the steel plant. PM Modi has written off loans worth Rs 12.5 lakh crores for his corporate friends. Why is he not showing the same generosity on the Vizag steel plant?” KTR questioned.
Stating that an Expression of Interest (EoI) notification was issued in the garb of mobilizing funds for working capital and raw materials, KTR said that the Modi government was indirectly attempting to hand over the PSU to private entities through the notification. Minister demanded that the centre should immediately cancel the EoI notification.

The minister in his letter laid out a detailed plan to revive the PSU.
He said that Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has already announced its expansion plans with a cost of around Rs 1 lakh crore.
He also said that the company can be merged with the Vizag Steel Plant, which has several advantages when compared to selling the steel plant to private companies at a low price.
“This will contribute towards SAIL’s expansion goals. If the company moves in this direction, then an ecosystem can be created to fulfil a long-standing demand for a steel factory in Bayyaram, Telangana and a steel plant in Kadapa,” KTR further said.
Stating that VSP is not able to operate at its full capacity of 7.3 MTPA as the central government is not providing raw materials and capital, BRS Working President said that the enterprise which is working at 50 per cent of the capacity is incurring the same production cost it incurs for working at 100 per cent capacity.
He also said that if the centre extends support, the enterprise can work at full capacity which will help it in generating profits.
BRS Working President said that the enterprise which is working at 50 per cent of the capacity is incurring the same production cost it incurs for working at 100 per cent capacity.

Stampede at food distribution centre kills 11 in Pakistan’s Karachi city

[ad_1]
Karachi: At least 11 people, including women and children, were killed and several others injured in a deadly stampede at a Ramzan food distribution centre in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi on Friday, officials said.
The stampede took place after some people unknowingly stepped on a live wire where food was being distributed, leading to the tragedy.
Soon, people started pushing each other, due to which some even fell into a nearby drain, police said.
At least 11 people, including women and children, died in the stampede and several others were injured.
“Initially two persons were electrocuted after stepping on the live wire and that led to panic and stampede,” SSP Ameerullah told PTI.
“Two children and two women fell in a drain when its wall collapsed due to the rush of the people,” he said.
At least 11 other people, including women, have died while trying to get free flour from government distribution outlets in Pakistan’s Punjab province in recent days.
With the latest incident in Karachi, the death toll from stampedes across free food centres in Pakistan has risen to at least 22.

The free food distribution initiative was launched by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week at a time when the country is in the midst of a severe economic crisis.
Pakistan has been negotiating with the IMF for the release of a USD 1.1 billion bailout package since February but has so far met with little success due to the stringent conditions imposed by the Washington-based lender.
The funds are part of a USD 6.5 billion bailout package the IMF approved in 2019, which analysts say is critical if Pakistan is to avoid defaulting on external debt obligations.
The weekly inflation level in Pakistan has touched an all-time high of 45 per cent.
Pakistan is scrambling to increase its forex reserves, which are currently estimated to be at USD 4.2 billion, according to the country’s central bank.

Centre should apologise to the nation for fuel price hike: KTR

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working President K.T. Rama Rao on Thursday sought an apology from the BJP-led Union government for skyrocketing fuel prices.
Slamming the Central government for ‘burdening the common man with increased fuel prices’, the BRS leader said in an open letter that the Centre is looting the public by citing international crude oil prices as the reason for the fuel price hike, but their deceit has been exposed.
“In 2013, when the cost of one crude oil barrel was $110, the cost of one litre petrol was Rs 76. Now, when the cost of one crude oil barrel is $66, the cost of one litre petrol is Rs 110,” KTR pointed out.
KTR added that the Centre is fleecing the poor and middle class people by increasing prices just to benefit a few corporates.
“Due to the 45 per cent hike in fuel prices since 2014, all the essential commodities have become costlier,” the state minister said.
KTR also said that due to the rise in diesel price, the state governments have been forced to increase public transport charges and the public transport system is on the brink of a crisis because of the Central government.
“The inflation is also at a 45-year high due to the failures of the Union government,” he added.
The minister wondered that though the Centre makes tall claims regarding importing crude oil at lower prices from Russia, the same benefit is not passed on to the common man and only two oil companies are reaping huge profits.

“The Union government is importing crude oil at lower prices from Russia, refining it, and selling the refined fuel to other countries. They are hiding this key information from the public,” KTR said.
He added that the Centre also reduced windfall tax on fuel to benefit some corporate entities.
KTR took a potshot at Central ministers for their remarks that bringing fuel under the purview of GST would reduce prices.
“The LPG cylinder price, which is under GST, has been hiked from Rs 400 to Rs 1200, making it the costliest LPG cylinder in the world,” KTR said.
He also accused the Central government of conspiring to stop discussions on price rise in the Parliament.
“Rejecting the BJP is the only way to stop the looting of the Central government and to reduce fuel prices,” KTR said.

Mamata sits overnight in ‘dharna’ against Centre, raises political temperature

[ad_1]
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sat overnight in front of Dalit icon Dr B R Ambedkar’s statue on Red Road in the heart of the metropolis, surrounded by a cohort of TMC leaders and workers under television camera arclights.
Banerjee, who is staging a two-day sit-in to protest alleged discrimination by the Centre against the state, had Wednesday in a change of stance urged all political parties in the country to unitedly fight the BJP in next year’s Lok Sabha election.
This is a departure from an earlier decision to remain equidistant from both the Congress and the right-wing party ruling India’s federal polity.
The Trinamool Congress supremo was accompanied by several party leaders, including Firhad Hakim and Aroop Biswas at the protest site.
Banerjee’s 30-hour demonstration is likely to end around 7 pm on Thursday.
Security measures in and around the venue were tightened keeping in mind the presence of high-profile leaders, a senior officer of Kolkata Police said.
Banerjee started the sit-in from Wednesday noon, protesting against the Centre’s “stoppage” of funds to the state for MGNREGA and other schemes of the housing and public works departments.
Stating that the 2024 Parliamentary polls will be a fight between the citizens of the country and the BJP, Banerjee had Wednesday asserted that people across religions must unite to defeat the saffron party and save the poor of the country.

She described the BJP as ‘Dushasana’ and ‘Duryodhana’ the two antagonists from the epic Mahabharata’.
“I urge every political party in India to unite to oust this Dushasana’ BJP government. This Duryodhana’ BJP should be removed from power to save the country’s common man as well as Indian democracy,” Banerjee said.
Kolkata has been witnessing a flurry of political activity ahead of the panchayat elections slated for this summer, which has now received a green signal from the Calcutta High Court.
The state’s political temperature has risen by a few notches with rallies by Banerjee’s nephew and TMC leader Abhisek, BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari and a march organised by the Left-Congress alliance, alongside the sit-in, which has been drawing large crowds of onlookers.
