Dear all,
Welcome.
Modi govt.: It would be keeping eye on MPLED, fund allocated for MPs. It would be done by monitoring of third party. Developmental works with 25 lakh INR or more would be monitored. During current fiscal year, it would be started in 100 districts.
The MP fund plan had drawn more complaints rather than accolades. Very few MPs had been able to utilize it fully on developmental works. As per sources, Public & private sector's & Independent institutions including educational, 100 districts would be monitored. CSO ministry would be identifying institutes for monitoring purpose.
These institutions would be investigating schemes being run under those funds and budget amount allocated to them. Also, quality of work would be assessed. The report would be sent to Centre. Under MPLED, society, trust or NGO work would also be monitored. Besides, drinking water, irrigation, road, bridges and sports complex related works would be monitored.
It is to note that under it, MP could recommend for developmental works upto 5 crore INR. CAG had, during 2010-11 in its audit report, found anomalies in implementation and monitoring system.
Visa on Arrival: Home ministry had rejected foreign ministry's proposal to extend Visa on arrival facility to Bangladesh. Also, foreign ministry had asked for opinion in regard to such visa. Assamese CM had earlier opposed the move. However, Multiple Visa would be provided for long term for Bangladeshi citizens in the age group of 16-65 years along with few terms and conditions.
Blackmoney/ SIT: RBI had also directed all banks including financial institutions to provide information in regard to blackmoney to SIT. A notice issued by RBI mentions that such information should be presented before SIT timely. It would help in govt. efforts to curb blackmoney. The govt. & non-govt. banks had been charged of money laundering into white from time to time. Two years back, a Parliamentary committee had expressed concern and demanded high level investigation.
GangRape: An Ugandan origin women had been gangraped in Delhi while returning from Janakpuri. She was abducted in a car and taken to Dwarka located flat. She was later abandoned. Police had arrested both rapist from Nazafgarh. The women had come on business visa and was residing at Dabdi locale.
China: At China's Xinjiang province, after a suicidal attack, Police action had rendered 13 terrorist getting killed whereas three policemen got wounded. It is to note that unrest prevails in Xinjiang province due to Muslim extremists. They had been demanding East Turkistan. China had held East Turkistan Islamic movement to be responsible for suicidal attacks.
Electricity: Minister had assured that he would try to sort out electricity sector problems. The Electricity projects need loan in time from financial institutions and Banks. Due to policy based indecision during UPA govt., Banks had been denying loans for electricity projects. Many projects are held in abeyance due to cancellation of coal blocks, gas non-availability etc. Also, these companies are unable to return loan money. In mere five dozen projects, Banks NPA amount to 48,000 crore INR.
Unless govt. comes out with policy on electricity, Banks would not be allowing such loans. A report suggests that during 12th Five year plan, electricity sector needs 11.40 lakh crore INR.
With regards,
M.K.Pachraiya
