Fast track court for MIHAN, Nagpur to come up for land acquisition cases

By

By Dheeraj Fartode
After three long years, the District administration has finally decided to set up fast track court at New Administrative building to expeditiously decide MIHAN land acquisition award enhancement cases. The administration has cancelled proposal for setting up court at Hingna and/or at MADC administrative building in MIHAN.

District Collector Saurabh Rao while confirming the development said that the administration had identified 6,000 sq ft space at new administrative building. Initially the administration had identified two spots including MIHAAN building and Hingna. However the lawyers and District Court administration was not too keen to move outside municipal limits. Infact, location of MIHAN court became point of discontent between lawyers and authorities as they felt that it would be practically inconvenient to travel such a long distance from district and high court. The lawyers had urged administration to search for a land near court area. There was 6,000 sq ft vacant space at new Administrative building and same has been approved during a meeting held some time back, informed District Collector Saurabh Rao.

Divisional Commissioner, PWD officers, Court officers, and other stakeholders were present at the meeting.
The administration had also allotted Rs 2 crore to Public Works Department (PWD) for furnishing of the court room. PWD has prepared a lay-out and sent it to court building committee for its approval. The committee has suggested some changes in the plan and after re-working the same was re-submitted to the committee. “We are only waiting for approval and work would be completed within two months after approval,” said the collector.

As the land for fast track court was not allotted for three hours, cases dealing with MIHAN land acquisition could not be resolved. MLA Chandrashekhar Bawankule has raised the issue, by way of a point of propriety during winter session. Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had assured the state legislative assembly that the government would make alternative land available for setting up of a fast track court for dealing with MIHAN land acquisition dispute cases on July 17, the MLA mentioned in the point of propriety. More than 1500 cases have been filed seeking enhancement of land award passed in MIHAN related cases.

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 als...

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...
