Maha-K’taka border flare-up: Bus services suspended, trucks grounded

Published

on

For the second day, thousands of state transport and private buses, and goods truck services from Maharashtra to Karnataka remained suspended in view of the disturbances in the border districts, officials said here on Wednesday.

This has badly hit thousands of passengers, students or local commuters travelling between the two states for different reasons, besides stopping the transportation and supply of all types of materials, including commercial goods, foods, etc, from Maharashtra to Karnataka and vice-versa.

A Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) Spokesperson told IANS that since Tuesday around 750 ST bus services from here to Karnataka have been suspended till further orders.

The Bombay Good Transport Association committee member Deepak Verma said that around 2,500 trucks cross into Karnataka from Maharashtra carrying all types of materials, including perishable foodstuffs, which have been stranded at various points en route.

Verma said these include goods trucks from other states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh which ferry stuff to Karnataka via Maharashtra border routes.

Besides there are around an estimated 1,000 private buses, mini-uses, vans, tempos or other smaller transport vehicles which are stuck owing to the skirmishes on both sides of the border over the past 24 hours, though the number of vehicles exiting Karnataka to Maharashtra is not available.

The simmering situation abruptly flared up on Tuesday after some alleged activists of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike attacked several buses and trucks entering the state from the Belagavi (Belgaum) border.

This sparked off a retaliation against the Karnataka vehicles in Maharashtra and also snowballed into a massive political fracas that has now reached the Centre’s court.

Unless the situation becomes normal soon in the borders — Maharashtra’s Kolhapur, Sangli and Solapur districts share a boundary with Karnataka — officials from the state are planning optional routes via other states to divert traffic between the two states to avert a possible economic fallout of the political dispute.

Maharashtra Budget: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s allegation, fake budget, cheating the public, budget benefiting contractors!

Published

on

Mumbai: Maharashtra’s budget is a budget of disappointment and frustration, this budget is the budget of contractors, this allegation has been made by former Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray.

He said that funds have been allocated in the budget for the benefit of Adani. When Adani’s company is the caretaker of the airport, then why will the government give it funds and why will the government do its work? The only thing said in the budget is that tomorrow the moon will rise and you will get Vitamin D. This is a budget of regret and disappointment.

This budget has been presented to fill the pockets of contractors. It has only talked about focusing on development works, but not a single new scheme has been presented in it. Many schemes in the budget are old and it is an imaginary budget. Only promises have been made in it and it has been said that the work will be completed tomorrow. Loan waiver was promised for farmers, but it has not been implemented yet.

Uddhav Thackeray said that this budget is about Ilham Abhas Yojana. Sugar mills are given assistance, but farmers’ dues are not paid. Why is the government not giving funds to BMC and BEST? This is a betrayal of the people. There is no proposal to control the price of essential commodities in this budget.

Mumbai: The minority Muslim community is deeply disappointed with the 2020-21 budget presented by the Mahagathbandhan government of the state on Monday, as not a single new announcement has been made for the minority community in it. Samajwadi Party MLA Rais Shaikh also said that the government is deliberately ignoring the pending demands by remaining silent.

Commenting on the budget, MLA Rais Shaikh said that only adequate funds have been provided for the Minority Research and Training Institute in the budget. MLA Shaikh said that there is no clarity on how much money will be made available and which schemes will be implemented. Apart from this, MLA Shaikh said that the budget does not include any other announcement or pending demand for Muslims.

The Mahagathbandhan government has ignored many important issues of the minority community. MLA Shaikh alleged that the Mahagathbandhan government has given a lot of emphasis to the demands of the minority community in the budget, such as funds for the Waqf Board, modernization of madrasas, socio-economic survey of the Muslim community, Muslim reservation, etc.

MLA Shaikh also said that although it has been announced to implement a scholarship scheme for foreign education for students of minority communities from 2024-25, it has not been discussed in detail in today’s budget.

Mumbai: Mr. Yusuf Ebrahim Gadree, a trustee of the Yusuf Ebrahim Gardee Charity Trust, has filed an FIR against Mr. Imtiyaz Esmail Patni and Mr. Mohammed Hanif Nakhande at the Phydonie Police Station.

According to the complaint, Mr. Gadree had appointed Mr. Patni as the trust’s manager and granted him Power of Attorney; however, he never authorized either Mr. Patni or Mr. Nakhande to be appointed as trustees. Despite this, both individuals allegedly forged Mr. Gadree’s signature on a change report and submitted it to the Maharashtra Waqf Board to declare themselves as trustees.

Mr. Gadree became aware of this fraud after returning to India in 2021. He claims that Mr. Patni and Mr. Nakhande misled him into signing a legitimate change report for their family’s trusteeship inclusion, while they created a fraudulent report to include their names and submitted it.

The Pydhonie Police have registered an FIR under IPC Sections 408, 420, 465, 467, 468, and 471 r/w 34, which pertain to breach of trust, forgery, and fraud-related offenses.
