BMC to develop housing colony for transgender people
Bhubaneswar: To empower the transgender community, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to develop a colony for such landless individuals living in slums. Earlier, the BMC distributed 44 land record certificates (LRC)s among the transgender people. The civic body will now provide financial assistance to construct houses under PM Awas Yojana for the identified transgender people, who were demanding patches of land with land rights for each to construct houses. "We will provide financial assistance of Rs 2.5 lakh as per the PMAY norms. Selected transgender beneficiaries will take up construction on the same land using their own resources. Since all the eligible individuals have been given LRCs at a particular place, it will be an exclusive colony," said BMC deputy commissioner Ajay Mohanty. Land rights were distributed to the slum residents as per the Odisha Land Rights to Slum Dwellers Act, 2017, and the Odisha Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Act, 2022, officials said. A sub-committee scrutinised the survey reports, conducted by a private agency, thoroughly before finalising beneficiaries. "Once the work orders are issued and the transgender people start basic construction work, money will be disbursed in a phased manner," Mohanty added.

Knowledge Kerala adviser: HC order in plea against Thomas Isaac's appointment likely on Monday
Kochi: High court has adjourned the petition challenging the appointment of Thomas Isaac as adviser for the 'Vijnana Keralam' (Knowledge Kerala) project to next Monday for orders. The petition filed by A Navas of Thiruvananthapuram was considered by a bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice Basant Balaji. In his petition, Navas alleged that although Isaac had agreed to render his services free of charge, the appointment order contained provisions for Rs 70,000 per month towards fuel expenses for his official vehicle, in addition to wages and daily allowances for his driver at rates fixed for drivers under state govt contracts. He further contended that over Rs 1 lakh was being spent each month on an adviser for a position under an "imaginary department and project," thereby causing substantial loss to the public exchequer. Navas also claimed that the appointment was made under a non-existent department, namely the department of planning and finance (development innovation).
