Odisha Dy Speaker Bhoi moots special Act to curb organised crimes
ROURKELA: Taking a leaf out of the Uttar Pradesh government's law book, deputy speaker and Talsara MLA Bhawani Shankar Bhoi has proposed Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi to formulate 'Odisha Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act'. Bhoi met the CM on July 24 and handed over a memorandum insisting on enactment of the new Act on the lines of UP. It would effectively curb organised crimes and anti-social activities in Odisha, he said. The deputy speaker said organised crimes, gang operations and anti-social activities have evolved in complexity and scale across various regions of Odisha. Incidents of land grabbing, extortion, contract killing, illegal mining, narcotics trafficking and coordinated criminal syndicates have steadily increased. These groups often operate beyond reach of the existing legal frameworks exploiting procedural delays and loopholes. To address the growing threat and ensure public safety, there is a strong and urgent need to establish a special legislation tailored to address Odisha's law and order realities and similar to the UP Gangsters & Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Bhoi said. The proposed Act should seek to prevent formation and operation of organised criminal groups, ensure effective prosecution and deterrence, safeguard public order, safety and property through a dedicated legal framework and enable swift preventive actions including attachment of property and preventive detention, he said.

ACB probe into construction of Barapullah Phase-3 ordered
NEW DELHI: The Delhi government on Monday ordered a vigilance inquiry into alleged 'irregularities' in the construction of the Barapullah phase-3 elevated corridor. 'The irregularities in the project and the payment of `175 crore to the contractor should be investigated by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB),' a government statement said. CM Rekha Gupta headed an expenditure finance committee meeting along with Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Parvesh Verma, where the decision was taken for an Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) probe into the matter. Gupta further alleged 'corruption' by the previous Aam Aadmi Party government in the matter of delayed completion of the flyover. According to the government, the elevated road was scheduled for completion in October 2017 but was repeatedly delayed, and eventually the matter went into arbitration. 'The ruling government favoured the contractor with an award of Rs 120 crore. When the payment was withheld, the company approached the high court, which in May 2023 ordered the PWD to pay Rs 175 crore, including interest and GST. The sum was subsequently paid during the tenure of then-PWD minister Atishi,' the government said.
