    Srinagar, Mar 15 (GNS): Residents of Ajas in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district are aghast over alleged lackadaisical approach of employees towards account-holders at locally setup branch of Jammu and Kashmir Bank.

    A delegation of aggrieved account holders told GNS that the staff has been taking them on a ride and playing down their genuine issues.

    “The bank staff is acting indifferent towards our genuine issues, be it regarding cash transactions, sanctioning of loan or any other trivial matter”, they alleged adding the bank has been instead entertaining cases of a selected group of people who act as sort of touts and thereby put the commoners into jeopardy.

    Despite moving multiple representations before the authorities, we are yet to see any respite, they further said.

    Despite repeated attempts, Zonal Head (Sopore) didn’t attend to any of the calls.

    When contacted, PRO J&K Bank Ajaz Zargar told GNS that the people from the area should come with a formal representation to them. “We assure the grievances would be done away with at an earliest”, the official said. (GNS)

  • Jindal Group Sets Its First Unit In Kashmir

    Jindal Group Sets Its First Unit In Kashmir

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Jindal steel has laid foundation stone of its first investment project in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district. A ₹ 150-crore steel processing unit in Pulwama is the first such project being set up after special status to the state under Article 370 of the Constitution was scrapped in 2019.

    Sajjan Jindal, chairman of JSW group, tweeted photos of a prayer ceremony of the foundation stone at Lassipora Industrial Estate in Pulwama district.

    “Proud to announce that we have laid the foundation stone for our new steel processing unit in Pulwama – the heart of Kashmir. Contributing to the growth of the beautiful state of Jammu and Kashmir,” Jindal tweeted.

    Almost two years ago, the Union Territory administration had granted 8.75 acre to JSW Steel.

    The Jammu and Kashmir administration has been talking about receiving proposals worth ₹ 70,000 crore for investment. But these have remained largely on paper.

    After foundation ceremony by Jindal Steels, the BJP government in the centre is finally walking the talk on development.

    “Now development is visible on the ground. To all the leaders who used to say that nothing is visible on the ground, Lassipora is proof. The BJP does what we say we will do,” NDTV quoted BJP spokesperson Abhijeet Jasrotia as having said.

    In December, the government told parliament that over ₹ 1,000 crore investment has come to Jammu and Kashmir since 2019.

    Telangana: Mahindra group to set up EV unit worth Rs 1K cr in Zaheerabad

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has announced the establishment of the Last Mile Mobility Electric Vehicle manufacturing facility at a cost of Rs 1K crore in Zaheerabad.

    As an expansion of its existing manufacturing operations, M&M joined hands with the government of Telangana by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with it.

    It happened on the sidelines of the first edition of Mobility Next Hyderabad Summit during the announcement of Telangana Mobility Valley (TMV), India’s first new mobility-focused cluster.

    The development and production of three and four-wheeler electric vehicles for M&M’s Last Mile Mobility business, mentions the MoU.

    The proposed investment will create an additional 800-1,000 jobs at Zaheerabad, where the company has already been manufacturing tractors since 2013.

    This union will develop a roadmap for the manufacturing of electric vehicles and energy storage systems in the state.

    According to the Mahindra group, considering the size of the investment, the EV manufacturing project is expected to fall under the mega projects category under the Telangana government’s EV investment policy.

    Announcing the latest investment to drive into the recently announced Telangana Mobility Valley, the Telangana government announced that Mahindra & Mahindra will collaborate with the state in laying down the roadmap for the development of EV and energy storage systems (ESS) manufacturing units here in Telangana.

    “The proposed facility by M&M will greatly contribute to the goal of TMV to further accelerate the growth of sustainable mobility in India. The location at Zaheerabad, one of the four mega EV manufacturing clusters being developed by the state, will allow M&M to access state-of-the-art infrastructure planned to be created by the state in the mega clusters,” read the statement by the state government.

  • Kejriwal govt set up Feedback Unit to keep an eye on political opponents: Delhi BJP

    Kejriwal govt set up Feedback Unit to keep an eye on political opponents: Delhi BJP

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The working President of Delhi BJP, Virendra Sachdeva, said on Wednesday that the Arvind Kejriwal government since its inception in 2015 has been hostile towards political opponents whom it wants to suppress.

    Addresssing a press conference here, Sachdeva said that for this purpose, on February 1, 2016, the Kejriwal government had established a Feedback Unit (FBU) to keep an eye on not only political opponents, but Union ministers, MPs, L-G office, media houses, leading businessmen and also on judges.

    Sachdeva claimed that to carry out its anarchic practices, the Kejriwal government set up the FBU without any administrative or financial approval only, but only on the basis of the approval of his own Cabinet. The unit was headed by a retired CISF DIG, he said.

    This FBU was provided with an establishment fund of Rs one crore and it was given the name of ‘Secret Service Fund’ which in itself raises the question as to whom did Kejriwal want to investigate for which a secret fund was created, Sachdeva claimed.

    Funds worth crores of rupees were given from this fund to private investigating agencies, as well as to set up a network of informers, he said.

    From the very beginning, the Vigilance Department had objected to this. In September 2016, when Ashwani Kumar became the Director of Vigilance, he had directly asked FBU for an account of the work done, which it failed to submit, Sachdeva claimed.

    When the Delhi government had sent the FBU file to then Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, the latter had not only rejected it, but also objected to the creation of such a new unit by bypassing the Vigilance Department, Sachdeva said.

    Sachdeva also said that the people of Delhi demand a reply from the Kejriwal government on the formation of the FBU.

    “We want to ask some questions regarding the establishment of FBU for which Kejriwal government is responsible. In spite of the existence of the ACB and the Vigilance Department, why did the Kejriwal government establish the FBU with a retired official as its head?

    “What was the purpose behind the establishment of FBU, and if the purpose was clear, why didn’t the government announce it at the time of establishment? According to us, the objective was to keep an eye on political opponents as it is clear from the CBI report that 60 per cent of its reports were only on political opponents. The CBI investigation has revealed that FBU submitted about 700 reports to the Kejriwal government,” Sachdeva said.

  • AAP, BJP face off after CBI report claims Delhi govt’s feedback unit collected ‘political intelligence’

    AAP, BJP face off after CBI report claims Delhi govt’s feedback unit collected ‘political intelligence’

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: A row erupted on Wednesday over a CBI report claiming political intelligence gathering by the Feedback Unit (FBU) formed by the AAP after coming to power in Delhi in 2015, with the BJP demanding registration of case against Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

    Hitting back, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said the BJP’s allegation that Sisodia was involved in “political snooping” is “completely false”.

    The Kejriwal government claimed in a statement that these all cases are “politically motivated”. “The CBI and ED should rather investigate the dubious relationship between Modi and Adani where the real corruption happened,” it alleged.

    The CBI in its preliminary inquiry report found that the FBU formed through a Delhi cabinet decision on September 29, 2015 indulged in gathering political intelligence.

    Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that the AAP since its inception has been working with hostility towards its political opponents.

    “The Kejriwal government formed FBU to keep an eye on not only its political opponents but Union Ministers, MPs, LG Office, media houses, leading businessmen and also the judges,” Sachdeva charged in a press conference.

    The CBI in its report submitted to Vigilance department sought approval of the LG who is competent authority in the matter, to register a case against Deputy CM Manish Sisodia who played an “active role” in creation of the FBU.

    The central agency also sought permission of the LG for registering cases against others involved in functioning of the FBU.

    Sources said LG VK Saxena has referred the CBI request to the President through the Ministry of Home Affairs, for registration of a case against Sisodia.

    The LG has also sent the CBI recommendation to Home ministry, regarding registration of cases against then FBU joint director, RK Sinha, and FBU officers Pradeep Kumar Punj and Satish Khetrapa. Approval for the prosecution against then Vigilance director, Sukesh Kumar Jain, an IRS officer, will come from the Finance ministry, they said.

    The approval has, however, been given by the LG for registration of a case against Delhi Chief Minister’s advisor Gopal Mohan, the sources said.

    The AAP in a statement said “the whole country knows political spying is done by Modi not Manish Sisodia. An FIR should be registered against Modi not Manish Sisodia,” the party said in its statement.

    The CBI report said that the FBU was tasked to gather actionable feedback regarding working of various departments of Delhi government and also to do “trap cases”.

    The FBU started functioning from February 2016 and a fund of Rs 1 crore was kept for it under “secret service expenditure”. A rough analysis of nature of reports generated by the unit revealed that while 60 per cent of it was related to vigilance matters, political intelligence and other issues accounted for around 40 per cent, the report said.

    “Scrutiny of such reports during the period from February 2016 to early September 2016 shows that a substantial number of reports submitted by FBU officials were not actionable feedback on corruption in any department, but related to political activities of persons, political entities and political issues touching political interest of the Aam Admi Party,” the report said.

    “The feedback unit was not functioning in the manner and for the purpose approved by the cabinet but was working for some other hidden purposes which were not in the interest of the GNCTD but private interest of Aam Admi Party and Manish Sisodia, the Dy CM, who played an active role in its creation of Feedback flouting established rules of GNCTD and MHA.” charged the CBI report.

    It also alleged that the “unlawful” manner of creation and working of the FBU caused loss of to the government exchequer to the tune of around Rs 36 lakh.

    BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri charged that the AAP government formed the FBU by misusing public fund and indulging in a “scam”.

    He demanded registration of FIR against Kejriwal and Sisodia charging they had “malafide intention” behind creation of the feedback unit.

    Meanwhile, the Delhi government termed “all allegations” as “completely bogus”.

    “Till now, the CBI, ED and Delhi Police have registered so many cases against us. About 163 cases have been registered against us. However, the BJP has not been able to prove even a single case. About 134 of these cases have been dismissed by the courts and in the rest of the cases also, the BJP government has not been able to provide any evidence,” it said in the statement.
