  • NHAI asked to fix street lights, build skywalk on airport highway

    NHAI asked to fix street lights, build skywalk on airport highway

    Thousands of motorists use the national highway connecting Kempegowda International Airport every day. However, the absence or poor maintenance of street lights on many parts has become a cause for concern.

    Pedestrians are also finding it difficult to navigate the stretch due to the lack of skywalks at many signal points starting from Kodiahalli Cross to Sadahalli Gate.

    In the backdrop of these security threats, the Bangalore Traffic Police has recently worked out a solution with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).

    “Poor visibility on many parts, especially near junctions, can result in accidents. We met with NHAI officials, who assured us that the problem would be rectified soon, ”said DCP Traffic (North) Sajeth VJ

    He said that there is no skywalk between Kodiahalli Cross and Jakkur. “Instead, barricades have been placed between the service road and the main lane. As a result, pedestrians have to walk for one kilometer to cross the road. Some people jumped on the barricade to cross the road, putting their lives at risk. We have asked NHAI officials to construct a skywalk between Kodigehalli and GKVK stretch.

    During the meeting, issues of road safety measures such as signboards, installation of medianica grills and fixing three black spots after the trumpet interchange were also discussed.

    “From our side, the coordination needed to implement these functions will be enhanced,” the DCP said.

    The signal-free corridor hits a snag

    The signal-free corridor on the airport highway will take longer than anticipated. In October 2019, NHAI worked on a flyover near Sabdahalli Gate to remove the last remaining signal between Hebbal and Trumpet Interchange. However, the project has been scrapped following a design flaw.

    An NHAI official said, “While implementing the project, we realized that there were some flaws in the design and it was not a possible option. Now we have revised the plan and sent it for approval. According to the new plan, an underpass will be constructed along the lines of one at Mehkari Circle. Vehicles on the main lane of the highway from Hebbal will go down from the existing Sadahalli junction and reach the toll plaza. “

    Near junctions, the main streets have been closed and vehicles have been diverted to service routes to reach the toll plaza. To reduce congestion near the junction, the police have also asked NHAI to expedite the project.

  • Ministry of Railways, others asked to finalize parameters for locomotive engines

    HC asked the government to call a medical board

    A division bench of the Kerala High Court on Wednesday directed the state government to take appropriate decision on calling for a special medical board to assess the disability of special children and issue disability certificates to them immediately.

    The directive was passed while disposing of a PIL filed by the Devashrayam Charitable Society, Palakkad, directing the convening of medical boards in all the districts.

    The petitioner stated that in view of COVID-19, the District Medical Boards, which assess the disability and issue certificates to these children, were not functioning regularly.

    Denied benefits

    As such, many of these children were unable to access grants, scholarships, and attendant benefits because of state and central governments. The petitioner stated that the parents of most of the children came from very poor backgrounds. The absence of a disability certificate will also adversely affect the study of children who were entitled to aid in the written examination.

    The government submitted that it was decided by the clinical psychologist to call a medical board for the selected children. The District Medical Officers have been instructed to constitute Special Medical Boards and issue certificates to the eligible students as per the right of the disabled at the earliest.

    The court also asked the Directorate of Health Services to explore the possibility of fixing a special date for calling a medical board in each district. This should be in addition to the regular exams held every Wednesday in a month.

An investigation is being conducted into the allegations of sexual harassment by the main suspect over the phone, as well as the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).

    “If a similar charge was made against an inspector of police or a sub-inspector, would you not have resorted to immediate suspension? What is the hesitation in suspending this person? Is he so great that you won’t suspend him? Suspension is what you should have done earlier? “The judge asked.

  • Why was Trivendra Singh Rawat asked to resign from the post of CM of Uttarakhand?

    Why was Trivendra Singh Rawat asked to resign from the post of CM of Uttarakhand?

    Two major decisions of the Rawat government and one corruption case killed his government.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were known to return to the state units of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), pressure from public opinion, and even the chief ministers appointed by them despite their displeasure with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak. is. Union (RSS). The case of former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, who was asked to step down by party chief JP Nadda on Tuesday, is therefore a close examination.

    Controversial decision

    Mr. Rawat had a perfect storm to go among legislators and party workers for reasons other than his own high unpopularity, which he found unresponsive to his concerns and unwilling to address them.

    Two major decisions of the Rawat government and one corruption case killed his government. The Char Dham Devasthanam Management Bill, which had 51 pilgrimage sites including Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri under the control of the state government, was one of the major reasons with a limited role for the management of these shrines so far. . The bill was approved by Governor Baby Rani Maurya in January. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh pracharak Shri Rawat set aside his own ideological mothership on the issue and a throng of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, RSS created a stir when the decision was not taken in April. Some employees in these temples were openly celebrating Shri Rawat’s birth anniversary on Tuesday with firecrackers and prayers.

    Another administrative act, which influenced the BJP state unit and introduced political census, established the Garhsain Commissionerate, adding districts from both the Garhwal and Kumaon regions to this new administrative unit. Garhwal has traditionally gone with the BJP while Kumaon has been difficult for the party, but the Badrinath and Kedarnath sub-divisions joining the commissary from Garhwal meant that this stronghold would fall in the upcoming elections in February as well. State leaders alleged that no one was consulted before these decisions, while party leaders were left to public displeasure and political vengeance. A senior leader said, “Even when we raised this issue, there was no hearing in the Chief Minister’s Office.”

    After the slow progress of the centrally funded Chardham Yatra projects, Mr. Modi added to this reputation of administrative stupidity and lethargy.

    Corruption case

    A corruption case against Mr. Rawat filed in the state on charges of financial irregularities by journalist Umesh Sharma went to the High Court, which ordered a CBI inquiry in October last year. The case alleged that Mr. Rawat had funds in the accounts of his relatives to get a special candidate appointed as Gau Seva Yoga of Jharkhand while he was in charge of the state as BJP leader in 2016. The Supreme Court later made an order stay on lodging an FIR against Mr. Rawat, but the case is being heard on Wednesday. Any holiday of migration would have destabilized the continuity of Mr. Rawat.

    Election factor

    This was due to a series of inability or unwillingness to remove Mr. Rawat from the post and to take the state unit along. Whether his expulsion will help the BJP in its efforts to get re-elected in the state in February or not, but the BJP high command’s desire to get him closer to the polls – in Jharkhand in similar circumstances – did not do so – shows that rivals Some lessons have been learned on the importance of a united home in coping with.
