Published

Mumbai: The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority’s (MHADA) Konkan Board has extended the deadline to submit and deposit payment for its ongoing affordable housing lottery process.

A statement released by the housing body has now revised the application deadline to April 19 from the earlier April 10.

Likewise, the deadline for payment of earnest money deposits has been extended from April 12 to April 21. The affordable housing draw has a total of 4,640 homes and 14 land parcels up for sale.

In another development, Maruti More, Chief Officer, Konkan Board said that some important changes have been made in the application submission process in the new computerised system to facilitate more applications. It is no longer mandatory for the applicant to have a Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban scheme (PMAY) registration certificate to be a part of the lottery. This certificate can now be obtained prior to taking possession of the flat. In the existing affordable housing lottery draw, there are 984 flats available for sale under the PMAY – Urban scheme.

Information of applicant to be shown in pop-up now

Secondly, certain issues were being faced with regard to uploading of the income tax return certificates. The system verifies the acknowledgement number, total income, assessment year and applicant’s name but the optical character recognition software was unable to verify these details for some applications as the images of uploaded documents were unclear. So now, when the applicant uploads the income tax return certificate in the system, the information about the individual’s total income, assessment year and name will be shown in a pop up.

Applicant can now modify their details in the system

If the information is correct, consent will be taken from the applicant in the checkbox. If the said information does not match with the information in the income tax return certificate uploaded in the system, the applicant now has the facility to modify it in the system.

Grievances were also received from several female applicants as they couldn’t register themselves owing to change of surname after marriage. Now, a new option has been given to women where in they can mention their new surname which doesn’t needs to reflect in all the uploaded documents.

In Nanded, Maharashtra, Bajrang Dal goons have threatened Muslims with weapons in the area so that Muslims do not sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, which is a threat to the state’s atmosphere and there is also a fear of communal violence. In such a situation, the police and administration should take strict action to maintain law and order and curb the miscreants because terrorism by Bajrang Dal goons is on the rise here.

To ensure law and order in the Degulur taluka of Dharmabad district of Nanded district of the state, state Chief Minister and Police Chief DGP have been demanded by MLA and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi to take action against sectarians and miscreants. Azmi has made a serious allegation that Bajrang Dal workers are patrolling the Dharmabad area with weapons and are threatening Muslims and trying to intimidate and spoil the atmosphere so that they do not sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, and Hindu extremists have warned Muslims not to sacrifice. Abu Asim Azmi has also sent a letter to the Chief Minister and DGP, demanding immediate intervention from the administration in this matter.

He has said in the letter that a local from Dharmaabad, Sheikh Lal Ahmed, has informed him about the mischief of the miscreants. He has alleged that the miscreants of Bajrang Dal are instructing not to offer sacrifices on Eid-ul-Adha and are also threatening Muslims. He said that the terrorism of Bajrang Dal and RSS should be banned and action should be taken against those who spoil the environment so that peace and security is maintained in Dharmaabad on Eid-ul-Adha. Azmi has appealed that strict police security arrangements be made in Dharmaabad on Eid-ul-Adha so that social harmony is maintained and Muslims can celebrate their festival peacefully.

Published

Mumbai: The Mumbai GauSeva Ayog has withdrawn its controversial order to keep cattle markets closed from June 3 to June 8 until Eid-ul-Adha. It has only said that it should be ensured that there is no slaughter of prohibited animals during the sacrifice. After a meeting of Muslim representatives along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister had issued an order to withdraw the circular, after which the Gau Seva Ayog has withdrawn its controversial circular and order. This circular had said that animal markets in all districts of the state should be closed till June 8 to prohibit cow slaughter on Eid-ul-Adha. Muslims opposed this and during the meeting of Muslim representatives, the Chief Minister had announced the withdrawal of this order. Therefore, the GauSeva Ayog has officially withdrawn the circular and instead issued a new circular, which has lifted the ban on animal markets. Along with this, strict implementation of the cow slaughter law has also been demanded.

The state government is responsible for implementing the cow slaughter law and the police and administration are ready for it, but after the GauSeva Aayog issued such a controversial circular, Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Rais Sheikh had declared it illegal and said that the circular issued is completely illegal and controversial, while the Aayog has no authority to issue orders, it can only make recommendations. In such a situation, after the order of the Chief Minister, now animal markets will continue during the sacrifice period and there is no ban on the market of buffaloes including goats, therefore Muslims have been appealed not to pay attention to rumors.

Deonar Slaughterhouse General Manager Kaleem Pathan also said that the Deonar Goat Market will continue and the order issued by the Gau Seva Aayog has been withdrawn, so the public should not pay attention to rumors about the Deonar Goat Market. He said that along with the facilities in the Goat Market in Deonar, arrangements have been made for the convenience of buyers. Along with stalls, other facilities are also available here. He said that more than 150,000 goats have arrived in the Deonar Goat Market and along with this, more than 80,000 goats are left.
