Nagpur Metro: In first trial run, three-coach train covers 11.5 km at speed of 45 kmph (Express Photo) The Nagpur Metro conducted its first trial run on Monday as a three-coach train covered a distance of 11.5 km between Khapri and Ajni stations, at a speed of 45 km per hour to and fro. The Indian Express had earlier reported that the MahaMetro, which is implementing the project, is racing against time to conduct the first commercial run by December 26. The first commercial run is likely to cover eight stations along the north-south and east-west corridors. The trial run took place under the supervision of an 11-member team of Research Design and Standards Organisation, functioning under the Ministry of Railways. 'The team checked compliance markers, such as safety, braking system, acceleration and deceleration, among others. It will submit a report, following which a team of the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) will undertake a visit for the final certification of safety to pave the way for the commercial run,' said a Metro spokesperson. Stretching 39 km over the two corridors, the work for the project began in 2014. Brijesh Dixit, the managing director of MahaMetro, said the Nagpur Metro will have the distinction of being the fastest completed Metro project in the country, the deadline for which is December 2019.

Jharkhand: BJP's Godda bastion hurdle in way of Congress, allies plans

The constituency has been won by the BJP since 1996, except 2004 when it went to the Congress's Furkaan Ansari. The last two times (2009 and 2014), Godda was won by the BJP's Nishikant Dubey. Of Jharkhand's 14 Lok Sabha seats, the BJP holds 12. In the Mahagathbandhan camp, both the JVM and Congress have their eyes on Godda, which has a mix of castes and a substantial Muslim population, giving both parties hope. It is also low on development indices, despite a wealth of natural resources like coal. On February 13, the Congress's Jharkhand in-charge R P N Singh had said the Godda seat would be contested by a Congress candidate. However, that will not go down well with the JVM, whose senior leader Pradeep Yadav has been spearheading a local agitation against a thermal power plant. Both Ansari and Yadav had been in the race last time too. Going by that performance, Ansari has a stronger claim, having finished not too far behind the BJP's Dubey at Godda despite the Modi wave — getting 3.19 lakh votes (30.47 per cent of the total), to Dubey's 3.80 lakh (36.25 per cent). Yadav had been a distant third, with 18.44 per cent of the votes. However, Yadav, a sitting MLA from Poreyahat, one of the six Assembly segments under Godda, is hoping to capitalise on the agitation against the plant, plus anti-incumbency against the BJP government. 'I have several cases slapped against me as part of the agitation. I know the mood of the people,' says the 57-year-old. Should Yadav get the Mahagathbandhan ticket, the general view is that there will be a neck-and-neck competition. 'The BJP has done work, like making an airport in Deoghar, building an AIIMS. But this time Pradeep Yadav is in the news,' says Anuj Yadav, an OBC. Ansari, an MLA from Jamatara, attributes his loss last time to 'conspiracy'. 'I will abide by what party leaders say, but the ticket should come to me. Muslims, OBCs, the tribals and upper castes will vote for me,' asserts the 69-year-old. Of Godda's 16 lakh-odd voters, OBCs form the largest chunk, followed by Muslims, tribals, upper castes, SCs and Christians. Asked if Yadav enjoys an edge because of his role in the agitation against the power plant, Ansari says: 'It is all politics. People tell me they have given land by their own volition.' But the Congress's official line, as stated by spokesperson Alok Kumar Dubey, is that power generated from the plant 'will be sent to Bangladesh'. 'The government should pay heed to problems of local landowners.' Dailyhunthttp://www.itsarab.org/UserProfile/tabid/61/userId/42051/Default.aspx

Assam's LDP dubs Shah remark on citizen bill as voter bait

The BJP-led government always plays with the emotions of the Assamese people to gain votes. But they are not able get votes here without the help of parties like the AGP and student unions like AASU. The present situation of the AGP to protect the interest of the people is questionable."There is an urgent need for a party like the LDP, which is formed on the grounds of regional interests. It is the party which can protect the interests of the people of Assam. Assam voted for the BJP only as an alternative to the Congress. There is a need for a third option apart from the BJP and the Congress in the state now," Bora said."Those who were students' leaders at the time of Assam Agitation are now becoming ministers and MPs for political power. But leaders like Partha Pratim Bezbaruah, who once played an important role in Assam Agitation, have been working for the indigenous communities. He has joined our party and we shall together build a strong democratic party in the state," LDP general secretary Guno Gogoi said. The LDP and the Asom Sangrami Mancha coalition had formed the Regional Democratic Alliance (RDA) last year. Another regional party will join the RDA on Tuesday, Gogoi said. "I apologise in front of the people of Assam for helping the BJP garner votes in the 2016 Assembly election," Bezbaruah said.LDP general secretary Jinti Gogoi and Liberal Students' Union general secretary Abid Ahmed were also present.

Diversion spells breather for BJP

"Maakul jawab diya jaayega sena ke dwara," he said. "A befitting reply will be given by the army." While advising the Opposition not to politicise the issue or question how such an attack took place, the BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been going all out to build a nationalist frenzy in the country over the deaths of the 40 CRPF jawans. The party is confident this will help it in the general election.After the suicide-bomb attack on February 14, most Opposition parties declared their unequivocal support to the government and virtually sealed their lips, announcing suspension of political activities. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra cancelled her first news conference that was scheduled on the evening of the attack after offering her condolences to the families of the troopers.But Amit Shah, who was on a political tour of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka that day, continued with his engagements as usual. He addressed booth-level workers in Karnataka in the evening, by when it was clear that Kashmir had been hit by the worst-ever terror attack.Party MP Manoj Tiwari regaled an audience in Allahabad, dancing and singing well into Thursday night, hours after the 40 jawans had died. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, too, did not suspend a scheduled political event in Kerala on the Sabarimala temple late in the evening of February 14.The BJP announced suspension of political activities for the day only on February 15. Prime Minister Modi, however, continued with his government engagements even on Friday. "The aim of terrorists is to stop India's development. But we have also resolved that India's march can't be halted," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said in justification.Modi, however, used the launch of Vande Bharat Express, the country's fastest train made in India, in Delhi to exhibit aggression and promise retribution for the Pulwama attack, stressing that "people's blood is boiling". The Opposition, wary of being branded anti-national, did not raise questions over the government's failure to prevent the Pulwama attack nor did it criticise the Prime Minister for using the government platform for a political campaign.The government was also spared any major criticism over the breakdown of the Vande Bharat Express on its much-hyped inaugural run, because of the Opposition's self-imposed restraint following the Pulwama attack.On February 15, Modi addressed another event in Uttar Pradesh and here too he used the Pulwama attack to drum up nationalist frenzy and warn Pakistan. For the next two days, the Prime Minister used each of his official events to promise revenge, claiming he was a strong leader unlike Congress governments in the past, while the Opposition watched in silence.Despite the public posturing of mourning, internally BJP leaders believe the Pulwama attack can help them turn the tide in the general election using the nationalist plank. Party leaders feel Modi has used the issue to put the Opposition on the backfoot and overshadow criticism of his government over farm and job crisis."In Gujarat, Modi had used the Godhra train tragedy to turn the unchallenged leader of the state for the next three terms. I am sure he will use the Kashmir terror attack in the same manner and dwarf the Opposition," one BJP leader said. 1684776 Dailyhunthttps://issuu.com/keedenjaars ailyhunthttps://www.ted.com/profiles/12248195

What is a JPC probe?

The Opposition has alleged irregularities in the deal. What is a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC)? A Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) is set up to examine a particular bill presented before the Parliament, or for the purpose of investigating cases of financial irregularities in any government activity. The JPC, an ad-hoc body, is set up for a given period of time and is aimed at addressing a specific issue. In order to set up a JPC, a motion is passed in one House and supported by the other House. The committee's members are decided by Parliament. The number of members can vary. There are twice as many Lok Sabha members as the Rajya Sabha. A JPC is authorised to collect evidence in oral or written form or demand documents in connection with the matter. The proceedings and findings of the committee are confidential, except in matters of public interest. The government can take the decision to withhold a document if it is considered prejudicial to the safety or interest of the State. The Speaker has the final word in case of a dispute over calling for evidence. The committee can invite interested parties for inquiry and summon people to appear before it. In the usual course of proceedings, the committee does not summon ministers to give evidence. The committee gets disbanded following the submission of its report to Parliament. Demand for JPC probe into Rafale deal The Opposition has been demanding an inquiry by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the Rafale deal, which they also pressed for in the on-going winter session of Parliament. After the Supreme Court dismissed petitions seeking a probe into the Rafale deal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi reiterated his allegation of corruption and argued that if a JPC probe is conducted, the names of Modi and industrialist Anil Ambani will come out. Further, the 29-page ruling by the bench of the Chief Justice of India mentioned pricing details of the Rafale jets was shared with the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India which, in turn, shared its report with the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). However, PAC chairman Mallikarjun Kharge denied having received any such report yet and 'neither does the CAG know about it'. setTimeout(function(){(function(id){var embedTag=document.getElementById(id).children[0]; if(embedTag){var width=embedTag.offsetWidth; var height=embedTag.offsetHeight; embedTag.height=document.body.offsetWidth * (height/width); embedTag.width=document.body.offsetWidth;}})("embed-brightcove-iframe-tag-0");},1000); Past JPC probes So far, the Joint Parliamentary Committees have been set up seven times to probe various matters including the Bofors Contract in 1987, irregularities in securities and banking transactions in 1992, 2G spectrum scam in 2011, VVIP Chopper Scam in 2013. The last time a committee was set up in 2015 for the purpose of examination of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Second Amendment) Bill and was chaired by SS Ahluwalia.
