Udupi, Aug 17: Pramod Madhwaraj, Minister of State for Fisheries, Youth Empowerment and Sports, on Wednesday  launched the ‘Swachh Udupi Mission–Countdown Begins’ programme organised by the district administration and the zilla panchayat here

C. Srinivasan, Project Director, India Green Services, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, unveiled a plan for making Udupi a garbage-free district byOctober 2, 2018, here on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Srinivasan said that the segregation of waste would be done in a 30 % + 30 % + 30 % + 10% model. This would be implemented in all the 158 gram panchayats (GPs) and all four Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the district.

Under the first 30 %, big educational institutions, places of worship and big organisations would have to segregate their waste into organic and inorganic waste and dispose it off on their own premises.

In the second 30 %, haircutting saloons, chicken stalls, small eateries would have to segregate their waste. They would have to form their own associations as it would help in segregating and disposing of the garbage either by themselves or handing it over to self-help groups (SHGs).

The third 30% would deal with households. Each household would be provided with two buckets — green for putting organic waste and red for putting inorganic waste. This would be collected twice a day by SHGs at a price of just Rs. 3 per day. The last 10 % would comprise public spaces such as gardens whose cleanliness would be maintained by the authorities, he said.

Later, speaking to presspersons, Deputy Commissioner Priyanka Mary Francis said that already three gram panchayats, Varambally, Gangolli and Nitte, had been chosen for implementation of pilot project of Swachh Udupi. In these villages, 250 houses each would be chosen for the pilot project. The pilot project will go on for three months.

Once this was successfully implemented, it would be implanted in the remaining 155 gram panchayats. So too, it would be taken up in two wards each in all the four ULBs for the first three months, then implemented thoughout the ULBs in the next three months.

Feb 25: Two Customs Preventive officers allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in Kerala were removed from service, a top official said in Kochi on Monday.

Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Kochi, said that he took action against Radhakrishnan B, Superintendent of Customs, and Rahul, Inspector of Customs, who were allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in the state.

Radhakrishnan was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 24998.61 grams having a market value of over Rs 8 crore through Thiruvananthapuram international airport on May 13, 2019, Kumar said.

Rahul was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 11,035.54 grams valued at over Rs 4 crore through international airport on August 19, 2019, the Customs Commissioner added.

Radhakrishnan is currently lodged in Central prison, Thiruvananthapuram after the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau under the Union Finance Ministry issued detention order under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974).

Rahul, against whom detention order under COFEPOSA was issued, is absconding.

"Two Customs officers of the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Kochi, who were involved in gold smuggling cases were removed from service by Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Cochin," an official release said.

Kumar said that both the cases were booked and investigated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and while show cause notice under Customs Act 1962 has been issued against Radhakrishnan, investigation is under progress in the other case.

"Both the officers were removed from service, after due process of law under Rule 19 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965," the release said.

Bengaluru, Feb 25: A day after Karnataka minister BC Patil felt the need for a law to shoot people who raise pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans, another BJP MLA on Monday said such people should be shot at sight or exiled to the neighbouring country.

Appachu Ranjan, MLA from Madikeri, said a woman named Amulya had raised Pakistan Zindabad slogan at Bengaluru during a CAA-related meeting.

"People saying Pakistan Zindabad, despite living in our country- eating food and drinking water available here- they should be shot at sight. Or else such people should be exiled to Pakistan, and no one should should show softness towards them and fight cases in their favour," he said at Somwarpet in Kodagu.

Amulya Leona, a woman who raised pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act rally in Bengaluru on Thursday, has been booked for sedition and remanded to judicial custody.

She had raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans thrice after the organisers, under the banner of "Save the Constitution", invited her to address the gathering in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

Agriculture minister Patil on Sunday had expressed the need for a legislation to shoot such people, and said he would make a request to the prime minister in this regard. "A law should be brought in the country that who ever raises slogans against India and in favour of Pakistan, they should be shot at sight. Bringing such a law is important," Patil had said.

The passion of young  Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope.  It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.

 

Congratulation Miss. Way to go.

 

 

PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.

CONGRATULATIONS.

 

Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.

She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.

She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.

All the best.
