Hindu Mahasabha celebrates Gandhi's assassination, honours Godse
MEERUT: The Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha on Thursday honoured Nathuram Godse, the man who killed Mahatma Gandhi on this day in 1948. Godse, allegedly linked with the Hindu Mahasabha, had shot Gandhi dead at a prayer meeting at Birla House in Delhi. He was hanged in an Ambala jail in 1949. Hindu Mahasabha members gathered at the 'Amar Martyr Nathuram Godse Nana Apte Dham,' a location tied to the right wing outfit, where they hailed Godse for the assassination. Pandit Ashok Sharma, a leader of the Mahasabha and founder of the Nana Apte Dham, led the event, which saw a havan puja and a recital of Hanuman Chalisa. The ceremony was purportedly aimed at emoving the soul of Karamchand Gandhi, and eliminating Gandhism from India. Sharma demanded that the Indian government revoke Mahatma Gandhi's title as the Father of the Nation. The Mahasabha also announced plans to honour the families of Nathuram Godse and Narayan Nana Apte, also associated with Gandhi's assassination. The programme concluded with the distribution of sweets among supporters. The Hindu Mahasabha, founded in 1915 byMadan Mohan Malviya emerged as a distinct party under the leadership of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, who was accused in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

19,000 tonne coal goes missing: NSPCL lodges case after two years
ROURKELA: Two years after it did not receive 19,200 tonne coal, the NTPC-SAIL Power Company Ltd (NSPCL) has lodged a police complaint and initiated legal proceedings against the transport firm. The coal continues to be missing though. Due to the missing of the consignment, the joint venture company of NTPC and SAIL has suffered losses in the range of Rs 4.22 crore to Rs 4.41 crore. The NSCPL lodged the police complaint and began legal action in November last year, two years after it placed the transport order. The NSPCL operates the 120 mega watt captive power plant (CCP) II of the Rourkela Steel Plant. According to documents available with The New Indian Express, the Meerut-based Aakar Engineers & Contractors (AE&C) was authorised by NSPCL for transport of coal from Kulda/Garjanbahal mines of Mahanadi Coalfieds Ltd (MCL). Accepting the offer of AE&C, NSPCL via a letter on November 8, 2022 authorised the firm for transport of 70,000 tonne coal from Kulda/Garjanbahal mines of MCL in Hemgir block of Sundargarh on road-cum-rail (RCR) mode to the railway sidings at Kuanrmunda and Laikera before dispatching it via road to NSPCL. The transportation cost granted to AE&C was around Rs 3.82 crore and the three-month service period was outlined as November 8, 2022 to February 8, 2023. However, when the balance volume of 19,200 tonne against purchase order No. 4500005310/1140 dated December 27, 2022 did not reach the destination, NSPCL on June 13, 2023 sent a letter to the vendor. In his reply, the proprietor of AE&C Rohit Tyagi in a digitally signed letter the next day claimed the balance 19,200 tonnes coal were lying at Laikera and Kuanrmunda railway sidings for the past three months. He also cited non-payment of dues by NTPC as the reason behind the delay. We are in crisis of funds as no payment has been made to us by M/s NTPC Limited for last six months but now the issue with M/s NTPC Limited has been resolved and we shall be getting the payment within 2 to 3 days. We agree that the supply of coal has been delayed due to scarcity of funds. We ensure that the balance quantity of coal shall be delivered to M/s NSPCL Rourkela up to 24.06.2023, his letter said. However, the balance amount was never delivered to NSPCL despite AE&Cs repeated commitments. When this paper reached out to NSPCL business unit head and general manager Satyanarayan for his comment, a spokesperson of the company claimed NSPCL has been in regular discussion and the AE&C has committed to supply the rest volume of coal in a week. He further added that the private agency has been blacklisted, police action sought and a court case filed for recovery of cost. If sources are to be believed, the coal consignment received from MCL two years ago is not physically available at Laikera or Kuanrmunda railway sidings. What made NSPCL wait till November 2024 to lodge a police complaint and simultaneously seek legal recourse in court remains unclear.

Sameer app dysfunctional, complaints go unattended
Hyderabad: Ninety-six complaints registered on the Sameer app remain unresolved in Hyderabad, raising concerns over the effectiveness of the pollution-monitoring platform outside the National Capital Region (NCR). The app, developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), was designed primarily for monitoring air quality and handling pollution-related complaints. In Hyderabad, citizens who reported issues raning from air and water pollution to illegal dumping are still waiting for action. According to a senior CPCB official, the app was initially created for the NCR, which includes Delhi and its neighboring cities such as Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Meerut. Given the severe pollution levels in these areas, the app was integrated with 47 agencies in Delhi. However, such integration has not been extended to other states. In states like Telangana, complaints filed on the Sameer app are forwarded through emails to the respective State Pollution Control Boards. If officials fail to check their emails regularly, complaints may go unnoticed and unresolved. In Hyderabad, the app does not direct the complaints to local pollution control agencies. We cannot integrate the entire country into one app, a CPCB official told Deccan Chronicle. He added that states have been advised to develop their own complaint management systems to handle pollution-related grievances efficiently. Now we can clearly see how the government is actually working. If citizens are left to handle these issues on their own, then what is the point of having a separate department from the government for monitoring pollution? It is their responsibility to address these concerns, yet nothing is being done. said Navya Raj, a homemaker from the city. Multiple attempts from this correspondent to reach the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) for a response have gone unanswered. One complaint read in Sameer app Untreated sewage is let into Trimulgherry Lake by Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) and polluting the lake. Telangana Pollution Control board had served notice on 18th April 2018 and no show cause notice served from 2018. No action was taken by TSPCB against the SCB & GHMC MRO inspected & reported open defecation and dumping of garbage around the lake. Despite multiple follow-ups with EE, hesitating to serve show cause notice & SCB officials least bothered to divert sewage Multiple newspapers published articles on Trimulgherry Lake, we are tweeting TSPCB and sending emails requesting to serve show cause notice to SCB and GHMC but not serving show cause notice and not responding to our emails, Tweets etc. TSPCB should initiate serious action against the SCB to prevent untreated sewage not letting into the lake, the complaint said. Another complaint said We are getting a huge bad unhealthy smell at night due to factory emissions. The area where we reside is near the GMR convention center. Please investigate. PIN: 502319. They are burning garbage which has a lot of plastic. And they continue to do so even after telling, another complaint said. Typically, there has been no response.

AAPs work speaks louder: Kejriwal calls Delhi projects joint efforts with Centre, hits back at PM
AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday described the two projects inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as milestones for Delhi's infrastructure and claimed they were joint ventures between the central and the city governments. Modi inaugurated a 13-kilometre stretch of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor from Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad to New Ashok Nagar here and the Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension section of the Delhi Metro's Phase IV. During a press conference, Kejriwal congratulated the people of Delhi and asserted that the projects were a collaboration between the city and the central governments. Taking a dig at his critics, Kejriwal said, These inaugurations are a reply to those who say AAP only engages in fights. Referring to the challenges faced by his party, he claimed AAP leaders were imprisoned and tortured but maintained their focus on governance. Over the past 10 years, our tenure has shown how we kept work above everything else, he said. He also hit out at Modi, alleging that the prime minister devoted the majority of his speech to criticise the Delhi government. Kejriwal said, Today, the prime minister kept abusing the people of Delhi and the elected government of Delhi. I was listening to it, it felt bad. The promise made by the prime minister in 2020 -- the people of Delhi Dehat are still waiting for that to be fulfilled. The former chief minister also urged Modi to fulfil the promises made in the BJP's election manifesto. With elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly due in February, Kejriwal's remarks underlined AAP's focus on development amid its continuing tussle with the Centre. Modi, earlier on Sunday had accused the AAP government in Delhi of wasting a decade fighting the Centre and urged Delhiites to give the BJP a chance to transform the city . Addressing a rally in Rohini, Modi assured that no public welfare scheme would be discontinued if the BJP took power, but the party would focus on eliminating corruption in their implementation. He labelled the AAP government a disaster and promised change. Modi highlighted the Centres development efforts, including highway expansion, Metro network growth, and big hospitals, but pointed out issues like potholes, overflowing sewers, and traffic jams that Delhi residents face daily. He stated, Delhi has witnessed a state government that is no less than an 'aapda (disaster)', and claimed Delhiites were calling for change. The prime minister further criticized AAP for focusing on building the Sheesh Mahal during the COVID-19 crisis, neglecting the publics needs. Modi also dismissed AAPs alleged claims that a BJP government would end welfare schemes, assuring that central schemes would be revived with renewed vigor. Only by removing AAP, Delhi will see the double-engine of development and good governance, he said. Modi stressed the importance of the next 25 years for Delhi and Indias growth as a developed nation. (With inputs from PTI)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated key infrastructure projects in Delhi, including the Delhi-Meerut RRTS corridor and Delhi Metro expansions.
