The appalling incident occurred right under the nose of Sitabuldi Police Station but the rowdies or stuntmen or criminals were left scot free without any punitive action, shockingly.

Nagpur.

In an outrageous act, some road rowdies not only risked the lives of vehicle-owners passing through the flyover but also threw a challenge to police in “Catch us if you can” manner. The appalling incident occurred right under the nose of Sitabuldi Police Station but the rowdies or stuntmen or criminals were left scot free without any punitive action, shockingly. The pictures tell the terrible tale and also throw a challenge to police to bring the unruly elements to book.

According to eyewitnesses, a function was in progress near the Cinemax and a group of disruptive youths stopped at the nearby flyover to watch it. The riotous group, first of all, put hurdle in smooth flow of traffic by gathering at the flyover. Later, they mischievously started harassing the two-wheeler owners, including girls, by stopping their vehicles and then resorting to vulgar actions. These lawless actions not only led to traffic chaos but put the lives of passersby in danger. Any misjudgment out of panic could have resulted in major tragedy as the spot is well above the overflowing road. And all this rowdiness was going on right under the nose of cops as Sitabuldi Police Station is situated at a stone’s throw distance. But not a soul arrived at the spot and the road rage went on uncontrollably for quite a time.

But the police still have a golden chance to nab the elements as the pictures clearly show the tell tale signs of the drama. The traffic cops who were supposedly on duty at nearby the spot must also face the music for their criminal negligence.

नागपुर टुडे.

वेस्टर्न कोल्फ़ील्ड्स लिमिटेड पूर्णतः सरकारी इकाई नहीं है,लेकिन अधीनस्थ जरूर है. इसलिए अधिकांश मामलों में उसका खुद का निर्णय सर्वोपरि होता है. इसलिए अधिकारी सह कर्मचारी भी सरकारी नियमों को ताक पर रख अपनी मनमानी करने में कोई कसार नहीं छोड़ते हैं. ताजा मामला विधान सभा चुनाव को लेकर सामने आया है ?
वेकोलि मुख्यालय के अधिकारी हों या कर्मचारी या फिर खदान कर्मी, चुनाव आते ही अपनी रोजमर्रा के कार्य छोड़कर महीनों हाजिरी लगाये या फिर बिना लगाये चुनावी कार्यो में भाग लेते नज़र आएंगे। आगामी विधानसभा चुनाव हेतु नागपुर, चंद्रपुर, यवतमाळ जिले के वेकोलि खदानों के अधिकारी-कर्मचारी पिछले १५ दिनों से अपने कार्यस्थल से गायब हैं. पता चला है कि सभी अपने-अपने इच्छुक दल सह उम्मीदवार के साथ चुनावी कार्यों में शिद्दत से भिड़े हुए हैं. सूत्र बताते हैं कि शायद इतनी शिद्दत से अपनी रोजी-रोटी देने वाले कार्य-विभाग से जुड़े होते तो विभाग का आज कायाकल्प हो गया होता।
वेकोलि के मुख्यालय के साथ साथ प्रत्येक खदान में कम से कम एक दर्ज़न से अधिक ऐसे अधिकारी-कर्मचारी देखने को मिल जाएंगे है, जो आए दिन किसी न किसी बहाने से अधिकृत-अनाधिकृत छुट्टी पर रहते हैं और पूरे वेतन के साथ साथ  अन्य लाभ उठाते हैं ।

३०० अधिकारी-कर्मचारी गायब!
विधानसभा चुनाव के मद्देनज़र वेकोलि के लगभग ३०० अधिकारी-कर्मचारी वेकोलि प्रशासन द्वारा दिए गए जिम्मेदारी को छोड़ अपने  ऊपरी अधिकारी को पक्ष में लेकर या उन्हें डरा-धमकाकर पिछले १५ दिनों से गायब है और अगले एक माह यानि २० अक्टूबर तक गायब रहेंगे। संबंधित प्रशासन को पता रहने के बावजूद गायब होने वाले कर्मियों को पूरा वेतन देने का सिलसिला जारी है.
सबसे अहम यह है कि वेकोलि मुख्यालय के अधिकारियों की चुप्पी समझ से परे है.क्या वेकोलि प्रशासन पर बाहरी जनप्रतिनिधियों का खौफ है ?

आधे एकड़ पर दी जाती है जमीनधारको को नौकरी
दो सप्ताह पूर्व केंद्रीय मंत्री नितिन गडकरी ने रवि भवन में वेकोलि दिग्गज अधिकारियों की अहम बैठक ली. बैठक में उन्होंने वेकोलि अध्यक्ष एवं प्रबंधक को फटकार लगाते हुए पूछा कि आधी एकड़ जमीन अधिग्रहण करने पर नौकरी किस आधार या नियम के तहत दी जा रही  है. जबकि नियमानुसार जमीनें अधिग्रहित नहीं की जा रही है. अधिग्रहित की गई जमीन पर प्रत्येक २-२ एकड़ पर १-१ नौकरी एवं मुआवजे का प्रावधान है। गडकरी ने चेताया कि वेकोलि में गोरखधंधा अविलंब बंद हो जाना चाहिए। अगर वक़्त पर वेकोलि प्रशासन ने जमीनें अधिग्रहित की होती तो वेकोलि की प्रलंबित खदानें खुलकर उत्पादन का सिलसिला जारी होता और जमीन धारकों को नौकरी भी मिल गई होती।

खदानों की कॉलोनियों पर अवैध कब्ज़ा
वेकोलि की कन्हान(टेकाडी कॉलोनी) स्थित खदानों सह अन्य खदानों के लिए निर्मित खदानों में जरूरतमंद कर्मियों को जगह उपलब्ध करवाने की बजाय बाहर के लोगों के कब्जे को बरक़रार रखा गया है. वेकोलि प्रशासन की शाह पर अधिकांश कॉलोनियों में बाहर के लोग कब्ज़ा जमाए बैठे हैं. इसके अलावा आसपास की  जमीनों पर भी कब्ज़ा है. नागपुर स्थित मुख्य महाप्रबंधक कार्यालय अंतर्गत खदानों का तो यही आलम है. यहाँ के मुख्यमहाप्रबंधक की शह पर कॉलोनियों के क्वार्टरों  पर तो कब्ज़ा है ही, इसके अलावा कॉलोनी की खाली जमीन सह खदान क्षेत्र में रिक्त जमीनो  पर  कब्ज़ा दिनों दिन बढ़ते जा रहा है.

बाहरी बच्चों से वसूल रहे स्कूल बस का किराया
वेकोलि प्रशासन ने कर्मियों के बच्चों को  स्कूल-कॉलेज आवाजाही हेतु ठेके पर निजी बसें उपलब्ध करवाई है, इन बसों के मालक वेकोलि के बच्चों के अलावा बाहरी प्रत्येक बच्चों को ५-६ सौ रूपए माहवारी पर लाते-ले जाते है. कोराडी रोड निवासी एक पालक नारनवरे के अनुसार सैकड़ो बाहरी बच्चे इसी पद्दत से आवाजाही करते है.

वेकोलि के वफादार : चुनाव के बहाने ड्यूटी से गुल, पर पगार ले रहे फुल !

Nagpur News : It appears CBI is on the wrong side on its course of investigation in the multi-crore Coal Block Allocation Scam as it is being pulled up the special court for its some or the other act. This time CBI faced the music for filing a report which the court dubs as vague and improper. The report was filed on a plea for return of passport by a Nagpur based accused Manoj Jayaswal in a coal blocks scam case with the judge warning the investigating officer (IO) that cost would be imposed on him in future.

The court had earlier issued a notice to the concerned passport officer at Nagpur on a plea filed by accused Manoj Jayaswal, Director of co-accused firm Nagpur-based AMR Iron and Steel Pvt Ltd, seeking return of his passport seized by the CBI during the investigation.
The special court was hearing the case in which CBI had named in its charge sheet Vijay Darda, his son Devendra Darda, Manoj Jayaswal, director of Nagpur-based AMR Iron and Steel Pvt Ltd, and the firm as accused for offences under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) read with 420 (cheating) of the IPC and under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The Supreme Court had on September 19 asked the CBI not to take any final decision on any case arising out of multi-crore coal scam after serious allegations were levelled against its Director Ranjit Sinha for protecting some accused.

Vijay Darda, Devendra, Jayaswal and the firm were named as accused in the charge sheet filed on March 27 in which it was alleged that they had fraudulently acquired coal blocks. They have denied the allegations levelled against them by CBI.

Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar was unhappy with the CBI’s compliance report on service of notice to the passport officer, Nagpur, and observed that the document placed in the court was “not proper” and “vague”.

“A bare perusal of the entire report and other documents shows that the report is per say vague. It does not say as to whom summons were served and except the word served, there is no other word written on it.

“IO has been warned that in future the report should be in pursuance to rules and procedures of CrPC,” the court said.

Nagpur.

Five candidates filed their nomination papers on September 22, 2014 for four seats in Nagpur district for the ensuing Assembly elections slated to be held on October 15, 2014.

Three Independents nominees filed their papers, while one is from CPI and the other is from Democratic Secular Party (DSP).

There are 12 Assembly constituencies in Nagpur district including six in the city. However, one interesting thing to note is the fact that candidates from other main stake-holders like BJP, Congress, Shiv Sena, MNS and NCP have refrained from filing papers since an uneasy uncertainty prevails over the possibility of either continuation of alliances or divorce from the very long alliance on account of seat-sharing tangle.

The filing of nominations is likely to gather momentum somewhere after September 24, 2014 after the end of “Pitru Paksha”. However, September 27, 2014 is the last date for filing of nomination papers.

The candidates who filed their papers on September 22, 2014 are: Chandrshekhar Kahrpuria (Katol), Rajesh Thakur (Hingana), and Vinod Nitnavre (Umred)– all Independents, Shyam Kale (Hingana) of CPI and Jamil Khan Pathan of Democratic Secular Party (Kamptee).

Nagpur.

With election round the corner, the prospective poll candidates are making all out efforts to get to the nerve of their voters, in whichever way possible. A current trend of raising self-appraisals in the printed form has hit Nagpur circuit, in which an array of achievements in the shape of development works is being put up in booklets. However, how far this attempt will go to affect the voters will be an interesting watch.

A similar such attempt was seen when State Chief of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and local MLA Devendra Fadnavis and MLA Sudhakar Deshmukh jointly released a book titled “Karyavruttant Prakashan” which includes all the plans that were successfully executed in the past five years.

Both the leaders were in the self-lauding mode at the do, and were seen patting each other’s back by showering praises on each other. MLA Sudhakar Deshmukh lauded MLA Devendra Fadnavis for the various development works undertaken by him in the past five years. He added that Union Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari have already sanctioned Rs 850 Crores for various development works in West Nagpur.

While addressing the audience Fadnavis credited his becoming the State Chief of BJP to all the dedicated and loyal BJP activists who supported him and stood with him in every endeavor. He also thanked the National BJP leaders for considering him worthy of this post.

Fadnavis avoided speaking about the alliance with Shiv Sena publicly but made the statement during an interaction with reporters after the programme. He expressed, “I personally met Shiv sena president Uddhav Thackeray and put forth the proposal of seat-sharing. ”According to our proposal, Shiv Sena can contest 140 seats, BJP 130 and other allies 18. We have also requested that Shiv Sena let BJP contest from the 59 seats that it has never won. However, Sena hasn’t conveyed any official communication on the proposal and we are hoping it responds soon. We are open to direct conversation and do not wish to speak through the media any more. Shiv Sena is an old friend and friends do not speak through channels. We hope to have positive discussions and retain the alliance”.

The office-bearers and activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party were present in large numbers. The entire Vasantrao Deshpande Hall burst at the seams with all the activists present there. For those who could not be accommodated inside the hall, an LCD projector displayed the entire programme in the parking lot of Vasantrao Deshpande Hall, which was covered with a Shamiyana and had seats for the BJP activists.

Those who were present on the dais included MLA Sudhakar Deshmukh, MLA Krishna Khopde, Dutta Meghe, Devendra Fadnavis, Nitin Gadkari, Banwarilal Purohit, Rajya Sabha Member Ajay Sancheti, Mayor Pravin Datke, Deputy Mayor Munna Pokulwar and others.

Nagpur.

The party meter has been set to scorching high among the city’s chic and happening circuit, with the club parties being made out of every occasion, personal or public. And there blown in the rhythm and grooves along with sassy mix of cocktails. Nagpur Today found out that most of party goers belong to the age of 18-22, without the permit to consume liquor. Leave aside the permit; the parties which claim to be serving alcohol across the table do not care enough to get the required permission in place. This is where the officials jump in to play spoilsport to such parties. Recent case came to the fore at Girnar Lawn on Wardha road, located on city skirts in serene atmosphere.

The lawn was pre booked, entire arrangement was done from dance to drinks and fine dining, but both the organizers and lawn owners failed to get the desired permission from Excise department to serve liquor. Though eleventh hour attempts were made to get one but it failed. Eventually, the party had to be continues with or without permission since entire arrangements were done. This invited the wrath of Excise officials who launched a midnight crackdown on the party den. However informers were alert enough to shoo away party people from the venue and what officials got were hordes of empty liquor bottles, and the bartender ofcourse!

The youngsters got information about the party from Facebook. The tickets were booked on the website called Adwings India.com and was titled as ‘incarnation’. The entry fee for the party varied from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000. However, on facebook, the rates per table were quoted at Rs 30,000, it was learnt.

However, the rural police granted permission but no permission was taken from the excise department.

The participants, mostly college students, started assembling at Girnar Lawns right from Sunday afternoon. Initially, the organisers told the participants that no liquor or other kind of drugs will be provided at the party. They should arrange it from outside. Later, the organisers realised that there cannot be a party without liquor and hence they started serving it from the evening.

As soon as the squad reached Khapri, the informers tipped the organisers about the impending raid. The excise team took about 15 minutes to reach the spot from Khapri. But till then, the organisers had already alerted the participants who ran helter skelter and made good their escape. However, the main organiser Zibran Khan and the owner of Girnar are absconding. The raid was conducted at about 9.30 pm, but most of the party was done till then.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on September 21, 2014 had written and directed all the CBSE schools  to make  arrangements for the live telecast of the Mars Orbit Insertion of the Indian Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) scheduled for September 24, 2014.

Though the live coverage of the event will be showcased on Doordarshan, but looking at its exclusivity and significance, A.R.T.I Director Dr. Sadhana Parashar wanted that the students should not miss such a spectacular event.

According to ISRO, Doordarshan and Webcast will telecast the live event on September 24, 2014, from 06:45 hrs IST onwards.

The Board has advised the schools to make the necessary arrangements for the students to witness the event in the best learning atmosphere, i.e. in their classrooms.

The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan, is India’s first interplanetary mission to the planet Mars.

However, due to such a short notice and the technical support involved in it most of the CBSE Schools in Nagpur are not going to conduct the live web telecast of Mangalyaan.

Principal of Modern School Neeru  Kapai  told Nagpur Today  that we will try to do it. Since September 23, 2014 was a holiday, the arrangements for the event would take a long time. However, we will surely arrange to record the entire telecast, so that it can viewed later by the students and can become a study material for future reference too.

Principal of BVM Trimurti Nagar informed that as the evaluation process is going on in their school so it won’t possible for them to participate in the event.

राजेंद्र मुलक का पश्चिम से टिकट कटा, कामठी से होंगे प्रत्याशी

नागपुर न्यूज।

विधान सभा चुनावों की हलचल दिन ब दिन तेज होती जा रही है। जहां एक ओर भाजपा-शिव सेना में सीटों के बंटवारे को लेकर घमासान जारी है, वहीँ कांग्रेस अपने गठबंधन सहयोगी रांकापा से अपने समझौते से इतर अपने विश्वस्त उम्मीदवारों के नाम पर मुहर लगा चुका है। हालांकि कांग्रेस ने अभी अपने उम्मीदवारों की आधिकारिक रूप से घोषणा तो नहीं की है लेकिन पार्टी में मौजूद उच्च पदस्थ सूत्रों ने बताया कि नागपुर की सभी 6 विधान सभा सीटों के लिए उम्मीदवारों के नाम तय किए जा चुके हैं। सूत्र बताते हैं कि इनमें से 4 प्रत्याशियों के चयन में नागपुर के पूर्व कांग्रेस सांसद विलास मुत्तेमवार ने अहम भूमिका निभाई है।

सूत्रों ने बताया कि कांग्रेस हाई कमान ने नागपुर की पश्चिम विधान सभा सीट से विकास ठाकरे का टिकट पक्का कर दिया है वहीं दक्षिण पश्चिम नागपुर से प्रफुल्ल गुडधे पाटिल, उत्तर नागपुर सीट से नितिन राउत, दक्षिण नागपुर से सतीश चतुर्वेदी, पूर्व विधान सभा सीट से अभिजीत वंजारी और मध्य नागपुर से अनीस अहमद के नामों पर मुहर लग चुकी है।

नागपुर की इन विधान सभा सीटों से राजेन्द्र मुलक को आश्चर्यजनक रूप से बाहर रखा गया है जबकि पश्चिम की सीट से मुलक प्रबल दावेदार माने जा रहे थे और वे इसके लिए एड़ी चोटी का जोर भी लगा रहे थे। मुलक राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री पृथ्वीराज चव्हाण के करीबी माने जाते हैं लेकिन इस मामले में उनकी निकटता काम नहीं आई। सूत्रों ने बताया कि मूलक को पूरी तरह निराश न करते हुए उन्हें कामठी विधान सभा क्षेत्र से चुनाव मैदान में उतारा जाएगा, जहां उनका मुकाबला भाजपा के चंद्रशेखर बावनकुले से होने की संभावना है।

विकास ठाकरे की टक्कर भाजपा के सुधाकर देशमुख से हो सकती है। दोनों ही उम्मीदवार कुनबी हैं लेकिन इस सीट पर कांग्रेस में इस बार ज्यादा एकजुटता नजर आ रही है।

दक्षिण पश्चिम सीट पर प्रफुल्ल गुडधे पाटिल को वर्तमान विधायक एवं भाजपा के प्रदेशाध्यक्ष देवेन्द्र फडणवीस कड़ी टक्कर देते नजर आएंगे।

उत्तर नागपुर से कांग्रेस प्रत्याशी नितिन राउत का नाम पहले से ही तय था जहां से भाजपा के मिलिंद माने उनके सामने हो सकते हैं जबकि बसपा पहले ही इस सीट से किशोर गजभिये के नाम की घोषणा कर चुकी है।

दक्षिण नागपुर से सतीश चतुर्वेदी को कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार बनाया गया है। इस सीट पर वर्तमान में कांग्रेस विधायक दीनानाथ पडोले विराजमान हैं जिन्हें हटाकर चतुर्वेदी को उतारा जा रहा है क्योंकि पडोले के कार्यकाल में उनके काम से उनके क्षेत्र की जनता और पार्टी आलाकमान दोनों ही नाखुश बताए जा रहे हैं। बहरहाल, इस सीट से चतुर्वेदी का मुकाबला शिव सेना के किरण पांडव या शेखर सावरबांधे से हो सकता है।

पूर्व नागपुर विधान सभा सीट पर कांग्रेस ने अप्रत्याशित रूप से अभिजीत वंजारी को मौका दिया है। इस सीट पर भाजपा के कृष्णा खोपड़े विधायक हैं और माना जा रहा है कि वंजारी उन्हें कड़ी टक्कर दे सकते हैं। दोनों ही तेली समाज से आते हैं.

मध्य नागपुर से अनीस अहमद कांग्रेस के टिकट पर जोर आजमाएंगे और इस बार भाजपा ने भी अपनी रणनीति बदलते हुए इस सीट से गिरीश व्यास को उतारने का मन बनाया है। गौरतलब है कि इस सीट से भाजपा के विकास कुंभारे विधायक हैं जो हलबा समाज के हैं। इस विधान सभा क्षेत्र में हलबा समाज के वोटरों की संख्या 1.5 लाख के आसपास है लेकिन बताया जा रहा है कि इस समाज के लोग कुंभारे के काम से खुश नहीं हैं जिसे देखते हुए गिरीश व्यास को अनीस अहमद के मुकाबले में उतारा जा रहा है।

स्पष्ट है कि कांग्रेस ने इस बार जातिगत समीकरण को आधार बनाकर हर जाति का उम्मीदवार मैदान में उतारा है।

कायम है मुत्तेमवार का वर्चस्व
उल्लेखनीय है कि कांग्रेस नेता विलास मुत्तेमवार ने नागपुर की विधान सभा सीटों पर उम्मीदवारों के चयन में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। मुत्तेमवार को कथित तौर पर नागपुर के कांग्रेस पार्षदों का भी पूरा समर्थन प्राप्त है।

एयरपोर्ट पर हुई अगवानी
सूत्र बताते हैं कि मंगलवार सुबह जब दिल्ली से सतीश चतुर्वेदी और अभिजीत वंजारी नागपुर विमानतल पहुंचे तो उनके साथ विलास मुत्तेमवार भी थे। इन नेताओं की अगवानी करने विकास ठाकरे और प्रफुल्ल गुडधे पाटिल अपने समर्थकों के साथ पहुंचे।

पश्चिम से विकास ठाकरे, पूर्व से अभिजीत वंजारी, दक्षिण से सतीश चतुर्वेदी होंगे कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार!

Many political parties and the candidates have deferred to buy and file nomination because of ‘pitru paksh’

Nagpur: Maharashtra had promulgated the Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act, 2013 is a criminal law act for the state of Maharashtra, India.

But the irony is such which is not palatable to the modern youth. Two major alliances which include the Congress-NCP and the BJP-Shiv-Sena-RPI had postponed the decision on the alliance, filing the nominations etc till after ‘pitru paksh’.

The Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party, who  call themselves ‘secular’ has postponed the decision to file the nomination for September 24, 2014. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) is not lacking behind and the party too has postponed publishing its blue print, the “Vision statement for Maharashtra”.

The Shiv Sena party leaders are also believed to have deferred the decisions on candidates till after the ‘pitru paksh’.

So much so that they did not even purchase the forms of Nominations till now. What should this be construed as?

Many learned citizens and the youth of the city are criticising these parties for going by a “superstitious traditions”. It could be mentioned here that according to age-old Hindu tradition, ‘pitru paksh’ is considered to be an inauspicious period to take any important decision. Many feel that these political parties are trying to avoid any ill omen. Adhering to such superstitious is actually proving the Indian Constitution and the Act wrong.

Are superstitious traditions still governing political parties?
