The pending issue of services will affect how Delhi is run

It also referred the issue of services to a separate three-member bench, essentially leaving the question of who controls Delhi's bureaucracy undecided for now. This issue has been in limbo since 2015, resulting face-offs between the elected government, the Lieutenant-Governor's office, and the bureaucracy, and it has not helped either the administrative efficiency of the state or its delivery system. Though this was somewhat eased last year, when the Supreme Court laid down the broad contours of administrative jurisdiction, sluggishness in the machinery remains. Removing the administrative ambiguity in Delhi is easier said than done. The top bureaucracy is drawn from a common cadre for a handful of states and Union Territories controlled by the Union home ministry. The problem in the overlapping power-sharing structure between the elected government and the L-G's office was skirted until 2015, when the government at the state and the Centre managed to find a working solution to their differences. But as the AAP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are bitter, unyielding rivals, the convention of keeping each other in the loop changed after a May 2015 notification by the home ministry gave the Centre the last word. Since the SC judgment comes ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha election, Mr Kejriwal has already pitched it as a poll issue. While Delhi waits for a final verdict, governance will continue to be the biggest loser. Dailyhunthttps://visual.ly/users/yozkelvozkeeneens9/portfolio

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.' Dailyhunthttps://itsmyurls.com/michealrate ailyhunthttps://wanelo.co/michealratees

Anik Dutta's Bhobishyoter Bhoot pulled off from theatres post release

The director alleged that single-screen theatre owners and multiplexes were forced to stop the screening in more than 40 screens across the state. Talking to IE Bangla about the issue, Dutta said, 'Yes, I heard screenings have been stopped but what I have gathered is that local police stations have instructed the halls. The cops had warned my producers previously also that the content of the film could cause a problem.' The filmmaker also said that the cops had asked the producers for special screening of the film before its release, a request makers turned down. Dutta stressed that film was cleared by the censor board without any cut and it had a valid certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and could be released without seeking any other permission. The withdrawal of the film created a huge buzz in the city as many flocked the theaters to catch the film owing to the huge success of Dutta's 2012 debut film Bhooter Bhobishot. While the many single-screen owners suggested it was a 'technical issue', multiplexes said it was an order from 'authorities.' 'We have been asked by authorities to discontinue screening keeping in mind the interests of guests,' a spokesperson for INOX said in a statement. Although it remains unclear who the authority is. Owners of Prachi Cinema, a single-screen theatre in Sealdah said, 'I cannot comment about elsewhere but for technical issues, we pulled off the film here.' However, shows for other films have not been hindered at the hall. The political satire, through dark humour, comments on nearly every important subject across the spectrum. Read the article in Bengali here The stopping of the screening irked people not just from the Bengali film industry, but also disturbed moviebuffs greatly. Many actors and directors came out in support of Dutta and condemned the attack on art. Ever since it was first announced, the movie has been embroiled in controversy. First, it was a legal battle with one of the top production houses in Tollywood, as they sent the director a legal notice which said he is isn't allowed to make the sequel of Bhooter Bhobishot. Although he won the battle to release the film, the fate of the movie after this withdrawal remains uncertain. While the 2012 superhit film dealt with the adverse effects of an alarming rise of multiplexes and high-rise buildings, the new film features a group of rejected 'future ghosts' that take shelter in a refugee camp of sorts and wonder if they should find a place in the cyberspace for their survival as their habitat in real world is shrinking.

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.

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.
