Accusing government of anti-farmers policy ex-chief of Army staff General V K Singh, on Saturday, exhorted farmers to unite and change the system.

Addressing a farmers’ gathering under the banner of Kisan Manch at Morbhavan, Singh said, “Government is giving a step-motherly treatment to farmers. Farmers should be aware of such political leaders and not vote for them in the upcoming elections.”

National President of Kisan Manch Vinod Singh, Pratap Goswami, Central General Secretary of Nag Vidarbha Andolan Samiti, Ahmed Kadar and others were present on the dais. Singh blamed wrong government policies for last 65 years for rising debts on farmers. “Government cannot protect the interest of farmers. It cannot give justice to farmers. Price of fertilisers keeps increasing each year. There is a farmer’s suicide every hour,” said Singh.

The former Army chief accused the government of being pro-industrialists and anti-farmer. “This subsidy on fertilisers is not for farmers, it is to benefit industries. If industries are deciding rates of their products then why farmers have no right to decide minimum support price (MSP) of farm products,” Singh asked.

Training his guns on Maharashtra Government Singh said that the government was using water from Vidarbha’s irrigation projects for sugarcane farming and power projects instead of region’s farmers. Singh also targetted land acquisition policies and said that these policies should be reviewed and restructured for farmers, not for industries.

He appealed to the farmers to unite and fight for their future. “Don’t fall prey to political leaders’ ‘Divide and Rule’ policy. It is just to grab votes,” Singh urged. Singh also cautioned farmers against opting for BT cotton. “Farmers have forgotten their ‘Desi’ breed of cotton and adopting BT cotton model. It has created water scarcity in the region,” he claimed.

Singh charged Rahul Gandhi with using the name of Kalawati for political mileage. “Kalawati remained empty handed even after hitting headlines of national newspapers,” he said. He added that all MLAs from Vidarbha were involved in corruption which has rendered the Vidarbha package as useless.

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. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
