Danve alleges rice meant for schoolchildren diverted abroad, seeks criminal action
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Ambadas Danve, the leader of opposition in the legislative council, launched an attack on state govt on Wednesday, alleging large-scale corruption in the transportation of govt-supplied rice intended for schoolchildren, with a portion of the stock allegedly diverted to African countries. Danve challenged the state to send a responsible representative for an open "discussion on corruption" at a time and place of its choosing. "Let us see if this govt even knows who is diverting rice from the mouths of our children and smuggling it straight to Africa," he said, calling it a "new model of corruption." Danve also sent a letter regarding the issue to civil supplies minister Chhagan Bhujbal. Chhagan Bhujbal, however, said he had not received any letter from Danve on the issue raised. "Had I received a letter I would have immediately responded," Bhujbal said. He added, "I think that the issue that he has raised concerns the child and women development dept. The issue is not connected with my department," said Bhujbal. In his letter, Danve wrote that a registered charitable trust was awarded a transport contract for rice in the Mumbai district despite the transport contract being a commercial activity, while the trust was originally established for social work. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Finland: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House Search Now Undo He claimed the trust's majority shareholder also acted as its sub-contractor for transportation, in violation of rules. Vehicles purchased with the trust's funds were allegedly owned by the same individual, and profits from operations were diverted to his personal account instead of being used for social causes. Danve further alleged that funds received by the trust were transferred into the shareholder's account as an unsecured loan without the charity commissioner's approval. "This shows he has treated the organisation like his personal household," he charged. The leader of opposition also accused the contractor of under-pricing services in Mumbai, raising suspicion over the source of the balance payments. He alleged that rice supplied under the Prime Minister's Nutrition Scheme for school students was being siphoned off to the black market and exported abroad. "I have credible information that a network has been set up to send this rice overseas, especially to African countries," Danve claimed. He added that no social work was carried out under the trust's banner and pointed out that Railways terminated the trust's contracts prematurely in Oct 2023, and the Railways even went ahead and forfeited the trust's deposit. "Such organisations should not be awarded any tenders. How, then, did these people become the beloved beneficiaries of Mahayuti govt?" he asked. Danve demanded a forensic audit of the organisation's accounts and the cancellation of its registration. He also sought criminal action against those found guilty in what he described as a tender scam. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Indian Ports Bill will strengthen maritime sector, says MP Sribharat
Highlighting the role of maritime infrastructure in India's economic growth, Visakhapatnam MP M. Sribharat on Tuesday extended his support to the Indian Ports Bill, 2025, during a discussion in the Parliament. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Mr. Sribharat described the Bill as a much-needed step towards streamlining port development, improving ease of doing business, ensuring effective dispute resolution, and creating a unified framework for port identification and regulation across the country. The MP noted the significant progress achieved in Andhra Pradesh's port sector in the past decade. 'The turnaround time for ships at major ports has halved, and India's international shipment ranking has risen sharply,' he said. He said that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's plan to establish a themed port, every 50 km, specialising in sectors such as petrochemicals, ship repair, and shipbuilding, as a major driver of regional growth. The MP also referred to the recent conclave in Visakhapatnam, attended by Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal and representatives from seven Bay of Bengal nations, as a testament to the State's growing prominence in international maritime cooperation. 'Andhra Pradesh is already emerging as a leader in cruise tourism, with successful cruise operations and more in the pipeline,' he observed. Mr. Sribharat urged the House to adopt the Bill 'in the spirit of nation-building', emphasising that it would strengthen India's maritime capabilities and bring lasting benefits to coastal communities.

SC to hear on August 14 plea for restoring Jammu & Kashmir statehood
The Supreme Court would on Thursday hear a plea for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. A bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran is likely to hear the matter, according to the causelist. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program On December 11, 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the revocation of Article 370, even as it ordered that assembly elections be held in Jammu and Kashmir by September 2024 and its statehood be restored "at the earliest". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensioners Can Buy These Electric Cars in Kuantan - See Prices Here! Electric Cars | Search Ads Search Now Undo Last year, a plea was filed in the top court seeking directions to the Centre for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir within two months. The application was filed by Zahoor Ahmad Bhat , an academician, and Khurshaid Ahmad Malik, a socio-political activist. Live Events "It is submitted that the delay in the restoration of statehood would cause serious reduction of democratically elected government in Jammu and Kashmir, causing a grave violation of the idea of federalism which forms part of the basic structure of the Constitution of India," the application said. The assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls were conducted peacefully in Jammu and Kashmir without any incident of violence, disturbance or any security concerns being reported, it said. "Therefore, there is no impediment of security concerns, violence or any other disturbances which would hinder or prevent the grant/restoration of the status of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir as had been assured by the Union of India in the present proceedings," the plea said. The non-restoration of the status of statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, the plea said, would result in a lesser form of elected democratic government to the state, particularly given legislative assembly results were declared on October 8, 2024. Despite the apex court's directions for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir "at the earliest and as soon as possible", no steps have been taken by the Centre to provide any timeline for the implementation of such directions, it claimed. "Jammu and Kashmir is being operated as a Union Territory for a period of almost five years now, which has caused many impediments and grave losses to the development of Jammu and Kashmir and has affected the democratic rights of its citizens," the plea added. In its December 2023 verdict, the apex court held that Article 370, which was incorporated in the Indian Constitution in 1949 to grant special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was a temporary provision. The President of India was empowered to revoke the measure in the absence of the Constituent Assembly of the erstwhile state whose term expired in 1957, the court said.
