CM to take admin to people’sdoorstepsContinued from P1
In fact, he is keen to visit this villagein July itself. After the visit to his vil-lage, the Chief Minister will hold ameeting with important o�cials andexplain to them the importance ofadoption of specific developmentmodel for every village,” which couldbe emulated in other villages. Duringhis district visit, the CM will inaugu-rate the educational institutions, newmandal o�ces, zilla parishad com-plexes and integrated district collec-torates and two-bedroom houses forthe poor which are getting ready forinauguration.
Special meetings are being organ-ised with tribals in the agency dis-tricts to sort out the forest land own-ership and the tussle that has been onamong the tribals on land rights. Dur-ing the election campaign, KCR madethe promise of addressing all tribal is-sues in Adilabad and other agencydominated districts.
Continued from P1He said the 10 MLAs resigned on July
6 but the Speaker did not decide upontheir resignations.
Rohatgi cited the example of thenMLA Umesh Jadhav whose resignationwas accepted by the Speaker eventhough disqualification proceedingswere pending. "Disqualification is likemini trial and it is a matter of evidence,it is adversarial list.
Once resignation moved, it must bedecided in its own parameters, if it is vol-untary and genuine. I can understand ifa gun is put on a temple, but here theyhave appeared before the Speakertwice," he said.
There is no way, the inquiry under Ar-ticle 190 of the Constitution can be pro-longed or mixed up with disqualification,Rohatgi said. "If I don't want to becomeMLA, you can’t force me to attend theHouse. I don't want to defect. I want togo to public. Speaker is coercing me tocontinue in the House," he said, addingresignation must be decided.
"It must be deemed resignations if hedoes not decide. He is infringing uponmy rights. The trust vote is day after, nowthe idea is issue a fresh whip. This gov-ernment is in minority. It is simple. Theywant to keep the sword of disqualifica-tion hanging," he said.
Spelling out on emerging possibilities,Rohatgi said the MLA can resign and jointhe next government, if his resignationwas accepted. Even if he was disqualified,he can contest again and become minis-ter after three months.
Appearing for Speaker K R RameshKumar, senior advocate A M Singhvi saiddisqualification and resignations cannotbe decided in separate silos. He said thewhole exercise of date, speed is wrongequation. Even if it takes months andyears later, disqualification can takeplace. Date and race is irrelevant as MLA
would lose all perks and allowance ondisqualification.
"This court is not to decide the exis-tence or seriousness of disqualification.It was for the first time on July 11, theyappeared before the Speaker. Four per-sons have till the date did not appear,"he said.
The Bench, however, asked him as towhy the Speaker did not do anythingwhen the MLAs resigned on July 6."Why did not he decide when they ap-peared on July 10. We are now told dis-qualification has to be decided first...Totrap the jurisdiction of this court wouldbe totally abhorrent to Constitutionalscheme," the Bench said.
Singhvi said, "You are asked to issuemandamus consequences of whichwould be irreversible."
"You may indicate the time limit. Thisis not an extreme case where you shouldintervene," he said, o�ering to decideresignations and disqualification pro-ceedings by Wednesday.
"Evil of defection is to be controlled.There have been degradation, that is re-ality of public life. I am imploring not toenter into political thicket. You cannottake away my vested right by Article 32petition," he said.
In his rejoinder, Rohatgi said here is aSpeaker who wants to prop a govern-ment which has lost majority. The ideais to force an unwilling MLA. He askedthe court to maintain the interim orderof status quo and exempt 15 MLAs fromappearing in the Assembly.
Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, ap-pearing for Chief Minister H D Ku-maraswamy, said the rebel MLAs wantto bring the government down. Theywant the court to interfere with theSpeaker and enter the political thicket.He warned that there would be politicalchaos and free run if the court main-tained its order of status quo.
Continued from P1Those candidates who did not joinseats allotted in the first phase ofcounselling are not eligible to ap-ply again for this counselling.
Further, the varsity officialsasked students to exercise optionsfor course and colleges in whichthey are interested to join. Mean-while, counselling for filling EWS(Economically Weaker Sections)quota for MBBS will be held sepa-rately as the state authorities arestill awaiting clarity from the Med-ical Council of India (MCI) on ad-
ditional seats to be sanctioned toprivate medical colleges to facili-tate imple me ntation of EWSquota. Already, five governmentmedical colleges in the state weresanctioned 190 additional seatsout of which more than 90 seatsare likely to be the share of EWSquota. Ten private medical collegeshave come forward to implementEWS quota and sent their propos-als to the Centre accordingly, butno decision has been taken as faras seat increase is concerned tillnow.
However, senior officials from theHealth department have disclosedthat the Centre was in two minds onimplementation of EWS quota inprivate medical colleges from thisyear onwards as these colleges arealready facing a crunch in facultyand infrastructure. Allotting addi-tional seats this year would furthercompound the problem as collegeshave no time on hand to addressthese issues. It is most likely thatEWS quota in private medical col-leges would start from next year on-wards, the official said.
Chenchus gain supportfrom Greens againsturanium miningContinued from P1
“Global public opinion is against the nuclear reactors. If the government issincere, it should come out with a white paper specifying what is the moneyspent and what is the electricity generated on these projects. Several reactorsare limping. The earlier experience of Jaduguda in Odisha, should not be for-gotten. It has become a horrifying site in the world,” said Purushottam Reddy.
Another environmentalist B Subba Rao said that taking up uranium miningin Amrabad is against law because, it is a tiger sanctuary. “I am surprised andshocked with the government’s move. They cannot enter into a declared projecttiger sanctuary. The government itself is violating the Acts passed by the gov-ernment,” said Subba Rao.
Way back in 2010, a survey report by a private organisation (DeBeers) identi-fied that about 2,000 hectares of land under Ambrabad mandal, which is locatedabout 40 kilometres from the Srisailam- Hyderabad highway, deep in the denseforest has large deposits of uranium. The organisation during its survey hadfound deposits of diamonds, uranium and iron ore in the areas of Gattu inGadwal and in the areas deep in Nallamalla forest which connects four districts,including Mahbubnagar (Telangana), Kurnool, Guntur and Prakasam (AndhraPradesh).
Based on the report, the then Central government, in 2012 had conductedanother survey and prepared a detailed proposal as to how to protect the wildlifeand to relocate 430-odd Chenchu families from the Nallamalla jungle in theevent of permitting uranium mining. As part of this proposal, the state govern-ment then had also offered to give Rs 10 lakh to each Chenchu family and pro-viding housing, job to a family member. However, this move was vehementlyopposed by the Chenchus and also the political parties. The Congress govern-ment had to dump the proposal after protests.
Harichandan appointed new Governor of APContinued from P1
The appointment of Harichandan relieves the burden of GovernorESL Narasimhan, who is looking after the two Telugu states for morethan a decade. Interestingly, Andhra Pradesh does not have a RajBhavan as of now. Though the previous government had constructedAssembly and state Secretariat buildings and High Court, it had notdone anything about Raj Bhavan.
For now, the new Governor will be staying in a building which wasused as the camp o�ce of the former chief minister N Chandrababu
Naidu. Incidentally, the building wasalso used as temporary building of theHigh Court. Now the state governmentis making necessary changes to use it asRaj Bhavan.
Pakistan reopensairspace forIndian flightsContinued from P1
Indian airline operators will start using normalroutes through Pakistan airspace soon," the sourcestold PTI.
Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority issued a noticeto airmen (NOTAM) at around 12.41 am Indian Stan-dard Time, stating that "with immediate e�ect Pak-istan airspace is open for all type of civil tra�c on pub-lished ATS (air tra�c service) routes".
Pakistan had fully closed its airspace on February26 after the Indian Air Force (IAF) struck a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist training camp in Balakotin retaliation to the Pulwama attack on February 14.Since then, the neighbouring country had only openedtwo routes, both of them passing through the southernregion, of the total 11.
On its part, the IAF had announced on May 31 thatall temporary restrictions imposed on the Indian air-space post the Balakot strike had been removed. How-ever, it did not benefit most of the commercial airlinersand they were waiting for Pakistan to fully open itsairspace.
In India, the biggest pain was su�ered by Air Indiathat conducts various international flights from Delhito Europe and the US.
The national carrier had lost Rs 491 crore till July 2due to the closure of the Pakistan airspace. Privateairlines SpiceJet, IndiGo and GoAir lost Rs 30.73 crore,Rs 25.1 crore and Rs 2.1 crore, respectively, accordingto the data presented by Civil Aviation Minister Hard-eep Singh Puri in the Rajya Sabha on July 3.
Post the air strike, Air India had to re-route, mergeor suspend many of its international flights that con-nect India with European and US cities.
IndiGo, India's largest airline by domestic marketshare, was unable to start direct flights from Delhi toIstanbul due to the closure of the Pakistan airspace.
The low-cost carrier started the Delhi-Istanbulflight in March. Till date, this IndiGo flight had to takethe longer route over the Arabian Sea and make a stopat Doha in Qatar for refueling.
Continued from P1They unitedly demanded a detailed
investigation into the causes leadingto the accident, identifying the cul-prits and booking them under chargesof culpable homicide not amountingto murder. Meanwhile, an RTI activistsaid that the name of the dilapidatedstructure, is mysteriously omittedfrom a comprehensive list of 499"dangerous" buildings prepared by theBrihanMumbai Municipal Corpora-tion (BMC).
"The BMC, as per the directions ofthe Bombay High Court, had com-piled the list of the dilapidated build-ings, which we secured through anRTI reply. Shockingly, Kesarbai Build-ing's name is not mentioned any-where in the list," Shakeel AhmedSheikh said. Later in the evening, theMaharashtra Housing and Area De-velopment Authority's (MHADA)chief spokesperson Vaishali Gadpalecleared the air on the building's status.In a statement, she said the main di-lapidated structure, Kesarbai Building25/C was completely evacuated by theMHADA last year and the building
which collapsed on Tuesday "was theillegal rear portion of the buildingwhich is not within the purview of theMumbai Building Repair & Recon-struction Board".
Earlier in the day, MBRRB Chair-man Vinod Ghosalkar had said thatthe dilapidated structure, believed tobe over 80 years old, had been handedover for redevelopment to BSB De-velopers, which has not yet started thework.
"This is a serious matter and weshall investigate why the redevelop-ment work was not initiated, whatcaused the delays and take appropri-ate action against those responsible,"Ghosalkar said. Among those rescuedfrom the debris include a woman, twomen and a child, who are being treatedat various hospitals. As a precaution-ary measure, the police evacuated allresidents of an adjoining building andshifted them to a nearby school to fa-cilitate the relief works. However, nar-row approach roads, huge crowds andthickly populated areas, besides con-tinuous VVIP movements to the site,a�ected rescue operations.
