Atrocities against women: Lady MLAs unite

By

Furious women legislators of all parties on Wednesday united on the rising incidents of atrocities on women and staged a dharna at staircase of Vidhan Bhavan. The legislators are pressing for strengthening the existing laws so that culprits do not go scot free. They later called on Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and submitted him a memorandum. Earlier, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harshwardhan Patil Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Vinod Tawade called on the agitating lady legislators and gave them a patient hearing.


Shiv Sena’s Dr Neelam Gorhe, BJP’s Pankaja Munde, NCP’s  Vidya Chavan, Congress’s Yashomati Thakur and Alka Desai, and others staged protest on the stair case. Atrocities against women are raising in the country. On Monday, a 23-year-old girl was gangraped in a moving bus in New Delhi. A 10-year old girl was sexually exploited in Nagpur, the second capital of Maharashtra. The lack of stringent laws is being seen as main hindrance in acting as deterrent for the culprits and hence there are not let-up in actions against women.
NCP’s Women Wing has also come on front and submitted a memorandum to all MLAs at Vidhan Bhavan on Tuesday. The legislators gathered at staircase with placards and shouted slogans for stern action against every accused in the rape case. They also demanded for immediate appointment of Chairman of State Women’s Commission that is lying vacant since long.

Spokesperson of Shiv Sena Dr Neelam Gorhe said that government should ensure safety of women in state as crime against women is increasing everyday. The accused have no fear about law as they are getting bail after committing heinous crimes like rape. All women MLAs will raise the issue in both houses of State Legislatures to give justice to every woman of the state, she added. Vidya Chavan said that non-bailable offence should be registered against the accused persons. Tougher punishment are needed so that the culprit understand what means to outrage the modesty of woman and similarly a message goes to society that crime against women does not pay off.

The memorandum submitted to Chief minister demanded quick registration of first investigation report (FIR); immediate seizure accused clothes and other incriminating material so that medical report, that plays an important role during trail can be clear cut; expert doctors should be appointed in state hospitals; special section be incorporated in Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the lines of one existing in Uganda and UK for trying accused persons involved in acid attack. They insisted for a ban on telecast of obscene movies and videos on television. Censor Board should rethink over their certificate issuing system, the legislators unanimously demanded.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State.
