Rohini moves HC, says mining mafia behind her transfer

Bengaluru, Mar 25: Hassan Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari has moved the High Court of Karnataka challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order, asking her to give representation to the Chief Secretary against her transfer order.

The petition is likely to come up for hearing on Monday. The petition states that the CAT's order directing her to appeal to the Chief Secretary is against the nature of justice as she has to make an appeal to the very authority who ordered her transfer. Going back to the Chief secretary is being ``virtually pushed towards the wall'', the petition said. She has termed her mounting grievances in this regard as 'pimple on the boil' in the petition.

Rohini has contended in the petition that IAS cadre posts have a fixed tenure of two years as per the rules and, despite this she is being transferred as the Hassan Deputy Commissioner for political reasons. The petition claimed she had cracked down on the mining mafia, which had enraged the local politicians who carried a tirade against her to the chief minister who directed for her premature transfer after succumbing to the political pressure. The petition states that many IAS officers with long tenure have been spared without subjecting to transfers. Rohini has urged the court to quash the transfer order of March 3, 2018 and the Tribunal's order of March 21, 2018. She stated that she has not approached the chief secretary, as directed by the CAT since there is a likelihood of enforcement of her transfer order with effect from March 26, outer limit fixed by the CAT to maintain a status quo. She further stated if the transfer order is implemented hurriedly, the petition becomes infructuous, and would cause injustice to her.

Rohini has made the principal secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), secretary, Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, and Randeep, deputy commissioner, Mysuru, who had to replace her as the Hassan DC, as respondents. Rohini, who assumed charge as Hassan deputy commissioner in July 2017, was transferred on January 22, 2018.

This is the perfect example of how corrupt the state has become !!!

Such bold conscientious non-conformist female/male IAS/IPS/Technical Officers have been transferred in other states also, courtesy the concerned chief ministers at the instance of some of their highly questionable ministers. High time such transfer orders are challenged more & more in High Courts in other states also. A toplevel IIT Engineer had his own way of handling such frequent transfer postings. He came duly prepared at the new place of posting along with a brief case and suitcase; ready to move out again even in six months but not ready to compromise even on instructions from above. .

KAR nataka is not place for HONEST WORKERS LIKE YOU. GET A MOVE TO CENTER & BE HAPPY THERE DOING WHAT YOU CAN HONESTLY

Grapes worth Rs 600-cr may go to the pits in Karnataka

News Network

March 30,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 30: The nationwide lockdown has left the state on the brink of a fresh agrarian crisis.

The lack of transport facilities spells doom for ready-to-harvest grapes worth Rs 500-600 crore in Bengaluru Rural, Chikkaballapur and Kolar districts. Unable to find buyers, several farmers have begun dumping their produce into compost pits.

On Sunday, Munishamappa, a farmer in Chikkaballapur, emptied four truckloads of grapes into the pit as buyers didn’t turn up due to the lockdown. “If the grapes wither and fall to the ground, it will affect the soil’s fertility and I will be forced to dispose of them,” he said.

Venkata Krishnappa, Munishamappa’s son, said their 1.5-acre vineyard yielded 25 tonnes of grapes. “Just before the lockdown, 10 tonnes were harvested and delivered to the market. Due to lack of transport, buyers haven’t turned up for the remaining 15 tonnes which we are dumping into the pit.”

Anjaneya Reddy, a farmer leader, said that in Chikkaballapur alone, they have cultivated grapes on 2,000 acres. “Even if you consider 15 tonnes per acre as yield, there are about 30,000 tonnes ready to be harvested in the district. At a market rate of Rs 50 to Rs 60 per kilogram, the net worth will be Rs 200 crore to Rs 300 crore. And if you consider the crop in Kolar and Bengaluru Rural, grapes worth Rs 500 to Rs 600 crore are at stake,” he explained.

The ‘Dilkush’ grapes is the most preferred variety of domestic consumption, according to the farmers.

This apart, farmers would have invested about Rs 3 lakh to 4 lakh per acre on fertilisers, pesticide and labour. “With markets being shut and no of the transport facilities available, farmers are forced to dump their produce into pits. It is high time the government intervened and provided us with market options so that farmers can sell at an affordable price of Rs 30 to 40,” Reddy said.

Somu, a farmer in Ganjam village of Srirangapattana, dumped two tonnes of chikku (sapota) citing market shutdown in Mandya. Reddy appealed to the government to emulate the Maharashtra model where the government is helping farmers market fruits through Hopcoms or dairy units as nutrient supplements to people.
