He further stated, “Together, we will create a better village through the Niyad Nellanaar initiative”.

Anyone can call the Chief Minister's office and inform them about the issue: The Chief Minister stated,” My government is committed to resolving all your problems.

Incidents of rape and land grabbing, tarnished humanity: CM Vishnu Deo Sai

Sai urges West Bengal CM to rise above political consideration and take decision in interest of humanity

Raipur : Voicing concern over the alleged sexual abuse of women and land grabbing by TMC supporters in Sandeshkhali in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai today wrote a letter to his counterpart Mamata Banerjee, demanding immediate intervention and stringent action against the culprits.

The chief minister termed the reports given by the National Tribal Commission as “gruesome” and “horrifying”.

“Injustice against mothers and sisters that have come to light in Sandeshkhali area of your state is heart-wrenching. Incidents like brutal rape of more than 50 women belonging to tribal communities, grabbing the land from thousands of tribals and even snatching away MNREGA wages from them, have tarnished humanity, Sai wrote in his letter.

The chief minister further wrote that putting the lives of tribals in danger in the state and tarnishing their honour merely for appeasement and vote bank politics is beyond tolerance. He added that it is highly condemnable that such a situation should arise under your leadership.

History has it that the movement for women empowerment started from Bengal province. Bengal is the land of Swami Vivekananda, Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, whose cultural richness is known to the world, Sai said.

“In such a conscious state, civilized society cannot tolerate the atrocities being committed against the deprived sections of the society. Being the Chief Minister of West Bengal, it is expected that you will intervene strongly, give instructions for immediate action and give strict punishment to the culprits.” he added. The chief minister urged Banerjee to rise above the politics and take stringent action against the criminals.

“I hope you will rise above political considerations and take decisions in this matter related to the interest of humanity. I urge you to take legal action against criminals like Shahjahan, Sirajuddin along with their political protectors,” he said.

Provision of 10 percent penalty of project cost and 03 years imprisonment

Raipur : Chhattisgarh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has clarified that according to Section 3 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, all the new and ongoing projects in the state of Chhattisgarh will be allotted units in the project. It is mandatory to register the project with Chhattisgarh RERA before it is advertised, marketed, booked or sold or offered for sale or inviting persons to purchase it in any manner. Registrar of RERA said that in case of violation of the above provision, there is a provision of imposing a penalty of up to 10 percent of the project cost and imprisonment of up to 03 years under Section 59 of the RERA Act.

From the prima facie observation of development permissions issued in the last five years in four districts of the state (Raipur, Vilaspur, Kawardha, Kanker), it has come to notice that there are about 157 such projects which have received development permissions for the purpose of marketing and selling of the projects. Even after obtaining permission, the project has not been registered with Chhattisgarh RERA.

A notice is also being issued to them by the authority. Also, from the observation of the information received by the authority from the city and village investment offices, it appears that the number of projects in the above category is likely to increase even more. The provisions of the Act and the instructions of the authority are being continuously violated by such residential and commercial projects and promoters. In order to protect the interests of consumers and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Act, the Authority has decided to register a case against 157 such promoters and take strict action.

So that the consumers purchasing buildings/plots in such projects do not have to face any kind of problems in future. In the next phase, the authority is seeking information about development permits issued from city and village investment offices located in other districts of the state. After careful observation of the above information by the authority, strict action will be taken against the promoters of projects unregistered in Chhattisgarh RERA even after obtaining permission related to development and sale of real estate project.

Delhi CM Kejriwal skips ED summons again in excise policy case, AAP calls it illegal

Delhi CM Kejriwal skips ED summons again in excise policy case, AAP calls it illegal

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will not appear before the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) for questioning in connection with an excise policy case linked to money laundering, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) sources said on Monday.

The AAP called the ED summons 'illegal' saying that the matter of the validity of the summons is now in the court.

"ED itself has gone to court. Instead of sending summons again and again, ED should wait for the court's decision," a party source said.

On February 2, Kejriwal skipped the ED's summons for the fifth time in connection with the money laundering probe related to irregularities in the Delhi excise policy 2021-22 case.

Kejriwal, on February 17, appeared before the Rouse Avenue Court via video conferencing following a complaint by the ED over his alleged non-compliance with its summons.

Kejriwal, while appearing virtually, informed the court that he wanted to join the court proceedings physically, but due to the confidence motion and budget sessions, he was unable to attend physically.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra allowed the exemption plea moved by Kejriwal for Saturday and fixed March 16, 2024, for his physical appearance before the court.

The ED recently filed a fresh complaint case under sections 190 (1)(a) and 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Section 174 of the Indian Penal Code, and Section 63 (4) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for non-attendance in compliance of Section 50 of PMLA.

According to the ED, the agency wanted to record Kejriwal's statement in the case on issues like the formulation of policy, meetings held before it was finalised, and allegations of bribery.

In its sixth charge sheet filed in the case on December 2, 2023, naming AAP leader Sanjay Singh and his aide Sarvesh Mishra, the ED has claimed that the AAP used kickbacks worth Rs 45 crore generated via the policy as part of its assembly elections campaign in Goa in 2022.

The excise policy was aimed at revitalising the city's flagging liquor business and replacing a sales-volume-based regime with a licence fee for traders. It promised swankier stores and a better buying experience. The policy introduced discounts and offers on the purchase of liquor for the first time in Delhi.

Two senior AAP leaders, Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh--are already under judicial custody in the case.

Sisodia, who was the then Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, was arrested by the CBI on February 26 following several rounds of questioning. On October 5, the ED arrested Singh, who is a Rajya Sabha member.

Amid strong speculation that he may join the BJP, veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Sunday said he did not talk to anyone.

Asked if he is joining the BJP, Kamal Nath told mediapersons: “I said yesterday that if there is something like that, I will inform you all. I did not talk to anyone.”

Kamal Nath had arrived in the national capital yesterday afternoon.

Asked if he is joining the saffron party, Kamal Nath, on Saturday, told mediapersons: “Why are you all getting excited? If there is any such thing, you will be the first to be informed about it.”

Nath did not make any denial when he was specifically asked about the speculation. “There is no question of my being excited to be here or there,” he had said.

The senior Congress leader’s remarks came after the rumours which have been doing the rounds that he and his son, Nakul Nath, may soon join the BJP.

On Saturday, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh reacted to speculations over Kamal Nath joining the BJP and said: “I spoke to Kamal Nath on Friday. He was in Chhindwara. A person who started his political journey and stood with the Nehru-Gandhi family when Indira Gandhi was sent to jail, do you think that he will ever leave the Congress and the Gandhi family?”

Congress MP Nakul Nath removed ‘INC’ from his social media bio, giving further momentum to the rumours that he is going to join the BJP.

Furthermore, Nakul Nath, the lone Congress MP from Madhya Pradesh, who was supposed to continue his meeting with party workers in Chhindwara from February 14 to 18, stopped the meeting and left for Delhi along with his father.
