UP government issues draft notification withreservation for OBC, SC in mayoral seats
The provisional list issued by the state authorities pertains to reserved seats for mayors across 17 municipal corporations of the state, chairpersons of municipal councils and nagar panchayats. LUCKNOW: Two days after the Supreme Court of India approved the report of the Backward Commission recommending quota provisions for OBC in Urban Civic bodies of Uttar Pradesh and giving a nod to the state government to go ahead with the Urban Local body polls, Yogi Adityanath issued a draft notification giving the provisional list of reserved seats for mayors of municipal corporations, and chairpersons of municipal councils and nagar panchayats for the three-tier urban elections here on Thursday. While sharing the details, UP Urban Development Minister AK Sharma said, The draft notification has been issued for the reserved seats. Objections have been sought on the list within seven days till April 6, 2023 . The provisional list issued by the state authorities pertains to reserved seats for mayors across 17 municipal corporations of the state, chairpersons of municipal councils and nagar panchayats. At present, there are 762 urban local bodies including 17 municipal corporations, 200 Nagar Palika Parishads and 545 Nagar Panchayats. The total population of these 762 urban local bodies is 4.85 crore. Meanwhile, proceeding towards holding the urban civic polls in the state, Yogi cabinet had on Wednesday approved an ordinance for the amendment of the Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act and the Nagar Palika Act, and it was sent to Governor Anandiben Patel for her assent which was given by her on Thursday. A senior state government official confirmed that the Governor gave her assent to the ordinance. The official added that the amendment to the Municipal Corporation and Nagar Palika Act was necessary after the recommendations of a dedicated Backward Commission constituted to look into the backwardness of areas in the state for reservation. Notably, on March 27, the Supreme Court had directed the State Election Commission to issue a notification within two days for holding the urban local body polls in Uttar Pradesh with the provision of OBC reservation. Nine of the 17 mayoral seats have been reserved for members of different categories. While Agra has been reserved for SC (woman), Jhansi for SC, Shahjahanpur and Firozabad OBC (women), Saharanpur and Meerut for OBC, besides Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad for women, according to the draft notification. The rest of eight mayoral seats of Varanasi, Prayagraj, Aligarh, Bareilly, Moradabad, Gorakhpur, Ayodhya and Mathura-Vrindavan would go unreserved, the minister said. Earlier, a draft notification regarding the provision of quota for OBCs was issued by the state government on December 5, last year. However, it was challenged in the Allahabad High Court which then ordered the UP government to go ahead with the urban civic polls without OBC quota. The High Court had claimed that the criteria of the UP government for recommending quota for OBC was not in consonance with the norm of triple test formula laid by the Supreme Court. A five-member commission headed by Justice (retired) Ram Avatar Singh was formed on December 28. It submitted its report to Chief Minister Adityanath on March 9 and it was accepted by the Cabinet on March 10.

Officer threatened to eliminate me; will send his name in sealed cover: Atiq Ahmad's brother
Asked about the closed envelope, Ashraf said he will send the same containing the name of the officer who threatened him to CJI D Y Chandrachud and Adityanath. BAREILLY:Gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed's brother Ashraf alleged that an official has threatened to eliminate him in two weeks, adding that he will send a sealed envelope to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and the Chief Justice of India revealing the identity of the perpetrator. Former MLA Khalid Azim alias Ashraf also said that he had full faith in judiciary. An MP-MLA court had on Tuesday held Atiq Ahmad and two others guilty in the 2006 Umesh Pal kidnapping case and sentenced them to rigorous imprisonment for life. Ashraf and six others were acquitted by the court. Talking to reporters before being taken back to Naini jail, Ashraf said from inside the police van, I have full faith in the judiciary and believe that I will be acquitted in other cases as well. He alleged that an officer told him that he would be taken out of jail after two weeks and killed. Ashraf also called reports of his alleged involvement in the Umesh Pal murder case completely baseless and part of a controversy. There is a conspiracy to trap the whole family. There is a conspiracy to defame the state government. Honourable Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath knows how fake cases cases are lodged. He understands my pain, he alleged. Asked about the closed envelope, Ashraf said he will send the same containing the name of the officer who threatened him to CJI D Y Chandrachud and Adityanath. Despite being acquitted in the Umesh Pal kidnapping case, Ashraf will remain in jail as more than 50 cases have been registered against him, out of which hearing is going on in about 24 cases. Umesh Pal, the main witness in the murder of MLA Raju Pal, was gunned down outside his Prayagraj residence on February 24. A case was lodged at the Dhoomanganj police station in Prayagraj against Atiq Ahmed, his brother, his wife Shaista Parveen, two sons, aides Guddu Muslim and Ghulam, and nine others on the complaint of Umesh's wife. Refuting the charge of planning criminal activities from inside jail, Ashraf said whenever someone comes to meet him in prison, officers from the local intelligence unit (LIU) sit in front of him and CCTV cameras are installed. Who can plan anything in such a situation? he asked. He also sought to know why he and his brother were taken out of jail when the High Court has permitted hearing of cases via video conferencing. He said there is also an order that his lawyer should be with him when he steps out of the jail, adding that I see there is no lawyer with me.

KTR hits out at Centre for rejecting Hyderabad metro proposal
KTR said that the state government was more than willing to clarify any doubts the Centre had on the project and, once again, requested for an appointment with Union minister Puri. HYDERABAD: Taking a strong objection to the BJP-led Central governments decision to reject the proposal for Hyderabad Metro phase-II, MAUD Minister KT Rama Rao on Tuesday wrote a letter to Union Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri to reconsider the Centres decision. Reacting to media reports that the Centre declined to approve the extension of Metro from Lakdikapul to BHEL and Nagole to LB Nagar on the grounds of feasibility, KT Rama Rao said that it was strange that Centre, which had sanctioned Metro projects to many cities with less traffic, had felt that Hyderabad does not qualify for a Metro rail project. Responding to the Telangana governments earlier letter seeking financial assistance for the Hyderabad Metro phase-II project, the Union ministry said, The Peak Hour Peak Direction Traffic (PHPDT) and ridership is very less and does not justify metro rail project at this juncture. Without mincing his words, KTR said that the Centres decision was nothing but blatant discrimination against Telangana. If the traffic of Hyderabads high-density corridors does not qualify for a Metro rail project, I wonder how a number of small cities of UP like Lucknow, Varanasi, Kanpur, Agra, Prayagraj, Meerut and cities located in some of BJP favoured states qualify. This is nothing but pure discrimination and step-motherly treatment to Hyderabad and Telangana, minister KTR said. He told the media that his repeated attempts to meet Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri to explain the importance of Hyderabad Metro Phase-II went in vain. Given your professional background, I had hoped that you would ensure a fair and objective treatment to our infrastructure development proposals without any bias or prejudice, KTR stated in his letter to Puri. KTR further said that the state government was more than willing to clarify any doubts the Centre had on the project and, once again, requested for an appointment with Union minister Puri. Nevertheless, I would once again urge you to get the Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-II project proposal examined dispassionately on the merits of DPR and have it approved at an early date, he stated in the letter.

Union govts rejection of Hyderabad metro expansion is blatant discrimination: KTR
