24 Persons Fined Rs 25,000 For Encroaching On Evicted Govt Land

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Acting tough against encroachment, Tehsildar Wagoora in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district passed eviction orders and imposed a fine of Rs 25, 000 each on twenty-four identified persons (encroachers) who had again encroached upon the evicted state land within the tehsil.
Tehsildar Wagoora, Mubashir Amin (JKAS) said that the move was taken to send a stern message to the encroachers over grabbing the government land.
“During the anti-encroachment drives carried out time and again, at least 170 kanals of state/kahcharai land was retrieved from the encroachers at Kachwa Maqam area of the tehsil and was later handed over to the Rural Development Department for undertaking various kinds of development including developing playgrounds for the youth. However, the miscreants later again encroached upon the evicted land, forcing us to take this harsh step,” he said.
So far, 24 people have been identified, who have grabbed the state land again and are creating hurdles in the developmental activities undertaken by the government, Amin said, adding that the identified encroachers were also called in his chamber and cautioned against encroaching the land again, but despite warnings, they didn’t desist.
Meanwhile, warning the encroachers to desist from violating the government directives in the future and asking them to remove the encroachments immediately, the Tehsildar said they have decided to impose a fine of Rs 25,000 each on the 24 identified persons.
The government earlier took the step to retrieve the state land, including Roshni and Kahcharai land and had instructed all Deputy Commissioners to ensure that all encroachments are removed to the extent of 100 percent by January 31, 2023. (KNO)

NC asks govt to address concerns of FMGs

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Apr 19 (GNS): National Conference on Wednesday asked the J & K administration to address the demands and concerns of foreign medical graduates (FMGs) and allow them to do internships in medical colleges across J&K.
Echoing the concerns of the protesting FMGs, party’s State Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said, “As per the guidelines by NMC (National Medical Commission), students who have completed their MBBS degree from foreign medical universities are required to appear for the Foreign Medical Graduate Exam (FMGE) which allows them to practice medicine in India. Students who qualify for the exam are then required to undergo a mandatory medical internship. Forty thousand such FMGs had appeared in the test out of which only three thousand had cleared it. However the total number of FMGs that qualified the mandatory screening test in J&K is 400, out of which only 230 have been inducted for the mandatory Internship. While the fate of remaining 170 aspirants who had also qualified the test has been put into a lurch. Most of these FMGs had also applied for internships in other states but they were denied the same on domicile issues.”
Imran further said, “Intern doctors played a pivotal role in the fight against COVID-19 in Jammu and Kashmir. Their work hours go beyond that of permanent faculty. They form an important part of the workforce in understaffed medical colleges and hospitals in rural areas and the distribution of doctors in J&K is already lopsided. The services of such Interns can be used to fulfil the shortage of staff in primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare centers across J&K. Therefore, the government should increase the intake capacity of CRMI seats and refrain from any sort of discrimination.”
“I hope the concerned authorities will take cognizance of their plight and mitigate their sufferings on priority basis.” (GNS)

Ahead of Eid, UP govt says no to religious events on roads

[ad_1]
Lucknow: In view of upcoming festivals like Eid and Akshay Tritiya, the Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday issued directions regarding holding programmes in the state and ordered that no religious event be held by obstructing roads and traffic.
Principal Secretary (Home) Sanjay Prasad, Director General of Police (DGP) R K Vishwakarma and other senior officials held a review meeting with all field officials posted in the state through video conferencing and issued necessary guidelines, an official release said.
There should be adequate arrangements for the security of religious places and additional police forces should be deployed in sensitive areas, DGP Vishwakarma said.

Prasad directed all the concerned officers posted in the field to ensure that religious programmes, worshipping, etc. take place at the designated places only. Under no circumstances should any religious event be held by obstructing roads and traffic, the release said.
“In the past, we have been able to do this through communication. This year also, we have to make the same effort,” he said.
According to the release, no religious procession or any other procession should be taken out without due permission. Permission should be given only to those religious processions that are traditional, and unnecessary permission should not be given to new events, it said.
The principal secretary also told the officers to be vigilant about social media and ensure immediate response to any attempt aimed to spread fake news. A senior officer should do a refutation of rumour/fake news, he said.
“The safety of every citizen in the state is the primary responsibility of all of us. The month of Ramzan is going on. Eid-ul-Fitr, Akshaya Tritiya and Parshuram Jayanti are likely to be celebrated on the same day on April 22. In view of the present environment, the police will have to be extra careful,” Prasad said.

“Deal sternly with those issuing mischievous statements. Strict action should be taken against the chaotic elements that try to cause harm to the peaceful atmosphere in the state,” he said.
DGP Vishwakarma took the details of the preparations made for the upcoming festivals from all the zone/range/district level officers and instructed that police force should continuously patrol congested areas and senior officers should also participate in it.

Govt Claims Have Fallen Flat: NC on ‘Power Crisis’

[ad_1]

SRINAGAR: National Conference General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar on Tuesday said that people in Kashmir are grappling with one of the worst power crises in years and that the government claims have fallen flat.
While expressing dismay over the failure of the government in rising upto the expectations of the people, Sagar said, “People across the valley are complaining of unscheduled power cuts throughout days especially during Sehri and Iftar times. Before the onset of the holy month, the government had made tall promises about ensuring steady supply of electricity to consumers. It was claimed that enduring uninterrupted power supply during Sehri and Iftar will be a priority by the Power Development Department (PDD).”
Power bills have gone up from Rs 700 to Rs 1100 but the scenario of electricity hasn’t changed, Sagar rued adding, “Most of the city areas were reeling under darkness even during the Shab-e-Qadr observance. Had the government told people to brace for prolonged power cuts, they would have made up their mind for the predicaments. For the past one week the scenario has taken an ugly turn with the outages touching 12 hours a day. The situation in upper reaches and far-flung areas is much worse. This is the everyday story now. There are frequent power cuts throughout the day and night. Situation is the same in both metered as well as non-metered areas. It is unfortunate that the electricity is unavailable when people need it the most. All the tall claims of the government have fallen flat.” (GNS)

48 hrs after Shiv Sena (UBT)’s plea, Maha govt bans open-air rallies

[ad_1]
Mumbai: In a major decision, the Maharashtra government has banned all open-air public meetings/rallies between 12 noon to 5 p.m., state Tourism Minister Mangal Prabha Lodha said here on Wednesday.
The move came three days after the deaths of 14 people, ‘Shrisadasyas’, who died hours after Union Home Minister Amit Shah conferred the ‘Maharashtra Bhushan Award’ 2022 on social reformer Dattatreya Narayan Dharmadhikari, revered as Appasaheb, at an open-air event which attracted an estimated 20 lakh followers.
The development also came 48 hours after Shiv Sena (UBT) Kishore Tiwari made a strong plea to the Centre and state governments to come out with a set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all such mega-events and prevent recurrence of such calamities with loss of precious human lives.

Lodha said that the decision has been taken after the “unfortunate disaster in Navi Mumbai and to avoid similar tragedies in future”.
State Congress President Nana Patole said on Wednesday that given new social media photos/videos, the government must clarify whether the deaths took place due to a stampede at the award venue.
“What is the truth, and what is the government suppressing? Both the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis must resign. I am appealing to Governor Ramesh Bais to sack this regime,” Patole said sternly.
On Tuesday, Nationalist Congress Party’s Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar had demanded a judicial probe by a retired judge into the tragedy, and lodging culpable homicide cases against all those found guilty for the shortcomings.
Pointing out that the state government had sqaundered Rs 13 crore for the Rs 25-Lakh Maharashtra Bhushan Award, Tiwari asked Shinde-Fadnavis to give compensation of at least Rs 1 crore to the kin of each deceased who hailed from very poor families.

Senior leaders of other political parties including Atul Londe, Clyce Crasto, Dr. Raghunath Kuchik, Trade Unions Joint Action Committee state convenor Vishwas Utagi, NGOs and social activists have slammed the state government for the lapses leading to the tragedy.
Moved by the tragedy, Shah expressed his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives after he gave away the Maharashtra Bhushan Award to Appasaheb Dharmadhikari on Sunday.
“My heart is heavy with the passing of the ‘Shrisadasyas’ who lost their lives due to heatstroke while attending the Maharashtra Bhushan Award ceremony held yesterday I pray for the speedy recovery of those who are undergoing treatment,” said Shah.

KCR govt can’t take credit for Telangana villages receiving awards: BJP leader

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vice-president NVSS Prabhakar on Tuesday said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao-led government cannot take credit for the villages in Telangana receiving more national gram panchayat awards.
Talking to ANI, Prabhakar said, “The national awards for gram panchayats have been announced. Telangana, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are some states that bagged these awards. These awards have been given for the proper implementation of central government schemes in rural areas. This award is not given to the KCR government. This is not for the activities or schemes they (state government) have brought in.”
“It has been given for the work of the gram panchayats in regard to individual toilets, cleanliness, the Swatch Bharat project and others. This award is given for the proper implementation of these programs which helped the rural areas. We congratulate the sarpanches of these villages for this achievement”, Prabhakar added.

Earlier on Monday, CM KCR appreciated Telangana gram panchayats on receiving 13 out of the 46 national awards.
The awards were presented by President Droupadi Murmu in Delhi on Monday.
KCR congratulated the village administration and other officials for receiving the ‘National Conference on the Promotion of Panchayats – Awards ‘ held at the Vigyana Bhavan in Delhi on Monday.
The Chief Minister said that these awards are testimony to the rural development activities, implemented by the state government.
