Dear all,
Welcome.
Political Outfits/ RTI: The govt. had decided to keep all political parties out of RTI law. It would suitably amend RTI Act 2005. A draft in this regard would be put up before the cabinet. It is prepared by the DoPT.
It is to note that the govt. had to take the step as earlier order issued by CIC had kept political parties under the scope of RTI. It had also directed six major political patties to appoint Information Officer within a period of six weeks. These are Congress, BJP, BSP, CPI, CPM, & NCP. CIC had also told them to made donations public, which had been opposed by all political parties except CPI.
The Act 2 of said RTI act would be amended for new definition of public servant. The CIC had issued order on June 3.
PMLA: The case against Cine star, Bachhan, & SP's Amar Singh is on the verge of closure. It is to note that the administration had asked for information on thirteen points after it was registered under Prevention of Money laundering act. The resident of Chakeri Post had lodged a complaint under PMLA act against both of them. He had alleged that Amar Singh had benefited his company while he was UP State development Coucil's President. The Energy development co, Pankaja Art and credit ltd, EDCL power project let, EDL Infrastructure Ltd, Easter India Chemical lt, Sarvottam Caps ltd etc. were used for Money laundering purpose. He had earned money as public servant illegally. The govt. had asked report on 13 points from District Magistrate.
TRAI has proposed for registering of consumer complaints via sms, email, post or courier. It is proposed considering the difficulty posed due to non-registering through phone.
TRAI would be changing its grievance redressal rules for providing this facility. The rules made during January 2002 would be suitably amended and reactions are invited from all related parties. Besides, regulator had asked for customer care number for appeal to be made before the appellate authority. There is no such complaint received regarding non-attending of complaint before the appellate authority. The complaint could be lodged in the complaint register kept for the purpose.
Mid day meal: The Central Scientific and Industrial Research Institute (CSIR) would be checking the mid day meal samples for protein and calorie contents. As per HR ministry, the work is started in this direction. The quality of the food would be suitably checked. Based upon the report only, the States would be paid for Mid day meals. The Schools would be selected on surprise checking basis. It is to note that the directions have been issued after the Bihar's incident.
RBI: Due to rupee downfall and price hike, the RBI had declined to lessen interest rates during quarterly monetary policy review. No reduction in rates is done due to which there would be no dose provided to the economy. The industry had demanded for it.
As per Central bank, the economy is undergoing through a bad phase and efforts are being made in this regard. It is mostly due to unstable major global economies. The Current Account deficit is not improving despite steps being taken in this regard. The Central govt. is asked to take immediate steps.
Also, investment scenario is not improving for which govt. had taken various steps. The delay in implementation of projects for which govt. had taken steps is also not lessening. However, the price control steps would be showing improvement. This would provide relief during March 2014. The economic growth rate is reduced from 5.7 to 5.5%.
KNPP: The Executive Chief Justice Bench had rejected two petitions related to Atomic Energy Regulatory Board's NOC for implementation of 15 directions by Supreme Court. Making them as basis, a petition was filed on July 17 wherein the State govt. had told Court that the criminal cases against protesters could not be reverted tback as the City's situation is not conducive to it. The Madras High Court had asked for reverting of cases against those accused for anti-Nuclear power plant demonstration.
LokPal Bill: As per Anna Hazare, there is no difference amidst Rahul Gandhi & Gujarat CM, Modi as both are representing Political parties. During Janatantra rally, he reiterated that he has no relations with Aam Aadmi Party just like RSS. He and Kejriwal had separated their ways.
In Indian constitution, there is no provision for group representation or political party. The Constitution doesnot recognize political parties. The party formed by Kejriwal is anti-Constitution and thus, he has no relation with it. He believed in democratic system where public elects and parts with their ways.
The govt. had betrayed with Jan-LokPal bill. It is cheating with the public. LokPal bill would come into existence. It would take certain time as public is used to 66 years of present system. The political parties are in their minds. The public should elect people with character.
ISRO: ISRO & NASA are planning for developing a satellite jointly. ISRO chief had told that the study would be done whether it could be developed jointly, which has synthetic aperture radar. It should be able to work on two frequency bands L & S. SAR changes the sound vibrations of different radars into pictures.
with SAR technique, the ground activities could be monitored. NASA administrator had visited Space Application Centre in this regard. The joint Satellite mission would be an advantage. It is not just making an equipment but working jointly. Both organisations are coming closer for developing it.
Arjun Mark-II: India's Main Battle tank (MBT) would be undergoing final testing during August. Along with 19 big changes, around 93 corrections had been made in it. It could find land mines, has automatic target tracking, and Advanced land navigation system techniques etc. Through it, a total of 500 rounds could be fired at a single time, which is more than T-72s 250 rounds. The South region Chennai based Battle tank Research and development institute had designed it.
With regards,
M.K.Pachraiya
