Land ordinance will not dilute compensation part of old bill : Sumitra Mahajan

By

Both ruling and opposition will find middle-path over Land Bill row, hopes LS Speaker Sumitra Mahajan 


By Dheeraj Fartode
Clarifying misconception about Land Acquisition Ordinance, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan made it clear that the ordinance would never change compensation part of the Land Acquisition Bill, which was passed during UPA-2 regime in 2013. “The government should inform opposition about it and resolve the ongoing row in the Lok Sabha. Discussion should be started in the house to decide changes to be made in the ordinance,” Mahajan opined. 
Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan
It can be mentioned that Sumitra Mahajan was the chairperson of Standing Committee of Rural Development Ministry and played a key role in drafting of the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013. Interacting with mediapersons during her short stay at Ravi Bhavan, Mahajan further said, farmers would be definitely benefitted by the bill, which has replaced Land acquisition law of 1894. “May be the bill -- passed in 2013 -- is not comprehensive hence, government wants to amend it,” she opined. 
“Many good suggestions will come out during discussion in the Parliament. Every amendment in favour of farmers is welcome,” she said.
Showing her neutral stand about all political parties, the Lok Sabha speaker further said, all parties are working for betterment of society and development of country. “Of course, idea of ruling and opposition parties can be different but final goal is same. So, we have to find a middle-path accommodating concerns of both the sides. The ruling party must reach out to opposition and acknowledge their demands,” Mahajan said.
When asked about possibility to call joint session to pass the ordinance, Mahajan informed that sorting out things through discussion is her priority. Joint session is last resort if the stalemate continues or both the houses differ in their opinion, she said. On the controversy created due to objectionable statements made by Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) leader and row in Lok Sabha, Mahajan said the lower house has already expressed views on the issue. 
Former MP Banwarilal Purohit, Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, legislators Krishna Khopde, Anil Sole, Dr Milind Mane, Sudhakar Deshmukh, Pramod Pandke and others welcomed the Lok Sabha Speaker. 

‘Amendment to President’s address should have been avoided’ 

Expressing her views on Rajya Sabha’s amendment to the President Pranab Mukherjee’s address to joint session of Parliament’s Budget session, the Lok Sabha speaker said, “Political parties should avoid amendment in the President’s address which is based on the schemes and plans of ruling party for the country.” Saying there are several ways to expose failure of government, Mahajan added that amendment to the President’s address should be avoided as it’s not routine culture. Opposition outnumbers ruling NDA in Rajya Sabha. 
It can be mentioned that the Government faced an embarrassment in the Rajya Sabha when an amendment moved by the opposition to the President’s address over corruption and black money was passed.

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...
