By
By Dheeraj Fartode
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Minister for Road Transport and Safety Nitin Gadkari and people from all walks of life on Sunday paid rich tributes to Gowari martyrs at the memorial at Zero Mile on Sunday. Thousands of Gowari community members from across the state visited the memorial and paid their homage to 114 martyrs, who died in stampede 20 years ago. 

Addressing a gathering after the paying tributes, Fadnavis said that the condition of Gowari community was same after 20 years. The community, which had taken out a morcha to press the demands for getting facilities of tribals and lost 114 family members, are still struggling for better education and employment facilities. “I have received a number of memoranda today and will look into the every memorandum personally and do whatever possible for their for betterment,” Fadnavis assured.

Fadnavis further said that for a developed country all communities should be get opportunities in education and employment sectors and the State Government would make all efforts for achieving progress of Gowari community.

In his address, Gadkari said that he would make sincere efforts to solve problems of the community with the help of Chief Minister. Expressing 1994 stampede day as black day, he blamed the then Chief Minister Sharad Pawar for not coming at the venue and address the agitators. “The incident could have been avoided if the CM had come at the morcha venue,” said Gadkari. 

Informing about various Union Government’s skill development programmes, Gadkari said that the Government launched a scheme in which 4.7 crore people would be benefited. He asked members of the community to take the advantage of the scheme.

Member of Parliament Kripal Tumane, MLC Anil Sole, MLAs Krishna Khopde, Nana Shyamkule, Sudhakar Deshmukh, Vikas Kumbhare, Sudhakar Kohale, MLA Dr Anil Bonde, former state minister Anil Deshmukh, NCP City Unit Chief Ajay Patil and others also paid rich tribute at the memorial. 

Apathy of Government machinery came to fore on Sunday. The 114 martyrs memorial looked unattended for one year as it was  not even washed and painted. The eternal flame was also not burning for whole day. It can be mentioned here that the eternal flame is not burning for last five years while the government officials are not showing any interest to maintain the memorial in good condition.

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

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
