Extension of Kochi Water Metro service proposed in developing Kadambrayar as a tourism destination
Extending the Kochi Water Metro service using feeder boats from Kakkanad to Kadambrayar in Ernakulam for sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly transit for tourists and Infopark professionals figured among the recommendations included in a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the proposed enhancement of Kadambrayar tourism destination centre. A well-designed, eco-friendly boat jetty has been proposed to facilitate the service. A floating or fixed reinforced cement concrete jetty based on water conditions, covered passenger waiting area with seating, safety railings, signage, and lighting, information display about the water metro schedules, easy pedestrian access from the riverfront promenade and integrated CCTV and Wi-Fi zones for safety and digital access are some of the features proposed for the jetty. 'We have already discussed the proposal with the Kochi Metro Rail Limited, and the outcome has been, by and large, positive. A more detailed discussion will have to be held,' said P.V. Sreenijin, Kunnathunadu MLA. Smaller boats He said that boats smaller than those used for the water metro services will have to be designed for the proposed service, considering the lack of vertical clearance under the Brahmapuram Bridge. The project has already received administrative sanction from the government. Once the technical sanction is also granted, the tourism department will tender it. The ₹3.50 crore project was approved during the chief minister's Nava Kerala Sadas. The DPR, however, proposes a three-phased development with an estimated investment of ₹5.50 crores. The first phase proposes a walkway widening, lighting, parking, and a café at an estimated ₹2 crores to be completed in six months. The second phase includes a proposed amphitheatre, gym, a boat jetty and parking facilities at an investment of another ₹2 crores in six months. Beautification and other amenities for ₹1.50 crores have been proposed in the final phase. The DPR observes that the Kadambrayar riverfront, with its natural beauty and ideal urban-rural interface, presents an exceptional opportunity for Kerala to showcase a sustainable tourism success story. It concludes that through targeted interventions, smart infrastructure, and community involvement, Kadambrayar can be developed as a model riverfront destination attracting urban professionals, families, and global tourists alike.

ED takes lesson from Datar & Venugopal episodes, director's nod now must to summon advocates
The move followed strong condemnation by several associations of lawyers of the ED summons issued to two senior advocates in connection with a money-laundering probe. New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Friday issued a circular to its officers instructing them not to summon any advocate as part of the investigation, as it could amount to a violation of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). The ED circular, a copy of which has been seen by ThePrint, further said that, in exceptional circumstances, when summons have to be issued, it can only be done after the approval of the agency director. From Section 132, 'it is amply clear that a legal practitioner cannot be compelled to disclose any communication made to him in the course and for the purpose of his professional service as such legal practitioner, by or on behalf of his client unless with his client's express consent. However, proviso to Section 132 of the BSA, 2023 has carved out certain exceptions,' said the circular issued by ED's legal wing to field officers. 'In view of the above, it is directed that no summons shall be issued to any advocate in violation of Section 132. Further, if any summon needs to be issued under the exceptions carved out in proviso to Section 132 of the BSA, the same shall be issued with the prior approval of the Director, ED,' it added. The development comes at a time when the ED has drawn criticism from the legal community over summoning senior advocates Arvind Datar and Pratap Venugopal in its probe into dealings of Care Health Insurance (CHIL) and its parent company, Religare Enterprises (REL). Both summonses have been withdrawn. In a letter dated 16 June, the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association expressed 'strong disapproval' of the summons to Datar and said it reflected 'a disturbing trend of investigative overreach'. ThePrint had earlier reported that the ED has been probing money laundering allegations against these firms, including the transfer of shares worth crores to former CHIL non-executive chairperson and REL executive chairperson Rashmi Saluja despite the request being rejected by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). The former board of CHIL cited an opinion that it had sought from Datar to grant shares to Saluja. According to the ED, Datar said IRDAI's approval was not needed since the shares were being granted in her capacity as an REL employee, and not CHIL. Separately, Venugopal was summoned in his capacity as the former independent director of CHIL to understand the circumstances behind the share transfer, the ED spokesperson said. In a statement Friday, the ED spokesperson said, 'In view of the fact that Shri Pratap Venugopal is a Senior Advocate in the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the summons issued to him has been withdrawn and same has been communicated to him. 'In the said communication, it has also been stated that if any documents will be required from him in his capacity as an Independent Director of CHIL, the same will be requested from him to be submitted by email.'

JNPA's ex-chief manager, 4 others booked for causing losses over ₹800 cr
MUMBAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked the former chief manager, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), and four others, including three firms, for cheating, conspiracy, corruption and causing losses of over ₹ 800 crore to JNPA. The alleged irregularities are linked to the dredging of navigational channels between 2003 to 2019. Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (HT Photo) The JNPA had dredged its navigational channel so that larger container vessels could access the port. The dredging project was meant to facilitate higher parcel size of cargo, higher productivity at terminals and higher economies of scale. CBI conducted searches at the residential premises of certain officers of the JNPA and the consulting company and offices of accused private companies at five places in Mumbai and Chennai, which led to the recovery of a number of documents relating to the Capital Dredging Project, digital devices and documents showing alleged investments made by public servants. The documents recovered are being examined, according to CBI officials. The CBI registered the case on Wednesday on the basis of the findings of a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) that began in June 2022. The accused include JNPA's then chief manager S Madabhavi, Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE), Mumbai, its then project director, Boskalis Smit India LLP, Mumbai, Jan De Nul Dredging India Private Limited, Chennai, and certain unknown public servants and private persons. Despite several attempts, HT could not reach either the persons or the firms named in the FIR for their comment. The PE was initiated to look into allegations of complicity between port officials of JNPA and the private companies that CBI says led to inflated estimates, restriction of competition in order to extend undue favour to some international bidders, and suppression of reports of independent experts/organisations. The PE also examined allegations of pecuniary advantage obtained by the named private companies as a result of JNPA officials' connivance, resulting in wrongful loss to the exchequer from the period between 2003 to 2014 (phase-l of the project) and 2013 to 2019 (phase-2 of project). 'During the course of the PE, the criminal conspiracy between JNPA officials and private parties that caused wrongful losses to JNPA amounting to ₹ 365.90 crore in phase-1 and ₹ 438 crore in phase-2 also surfaced,' says the FIR. JNPA is one of the 12 major ports in India and shares a common navigational channel with the Mumbai port for a substantial part of its length. In order to handle large-sized cargo ships, JNPA had asked a private company to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) in May 2003 on increasing the depth of the navigational channel. Pursuant to the DPR, dredging work was executed in two phases—the first from 2010 to 2014, and the second from 2012 to 2019, according to the officials. For phase 1, TCE in association with a separate entity allegedly prepared a final report on planning the dredging activity in December 2010. TCE was also allegedly awarded the work of Project Management Consultant (PMC) for the said project including preparation of the tender documents and the work of supervising execution of the work. The tender for dredging in phase 2 to accommodate 15-metre draft vessels was allegedly awarded to a joint venture of Boskalis Smit India LLP and Jan De Nul lndia Pvt Ltd in March 2017 for ₹ 1,963.17 crore and the project was completed in March 2019. The said contract was made allegedly with the provision of progressive payment on the basis of a verified progress report to be submitted by Tata Consulting Engineers. For the executed work, payments of around ₹ 1,522.33 crore were made through 11 bills raised by the contractor, according to the CBI. Madabhavi and other suspects, including TCE's then project director, are under the scanner over the project's commencement only from 2010 following a significant delay of 7 years from the time of the preparation of the DPR in May 2003, without proper assessment of prevailing dredging requirements. The FIR further alleged that prior to the approval of the phase l by the Project Investment Board, a note was put up to the JNPT board on December 21, 2010, saying that phase 1 and phase 2 would be taken up separately. But, in fact, the planning and implementation of the two phases overlapped each other, violating guidelines of the Competition Commission of India. In order to favour certain foreign bidders, JNPA officials along with the PMC kept the 'continuous dredging condition' in the tender document for phase 2 and allegedly did not permit demobilisation and remobilisation of dredging vessels in monsoon period. 'However, soil dredging was actually made with delay after the passing of the monsoon period. Thus, such deliberate acts were committed to extend undue favours to the foreign contractor,' the FIR said. 'It was alleged that during the maintenance of dredged channels in phase I of the project, JNPA made excess payments aggregating ₹ 365.90 crore to the contractors against claims raised for over dredging of channels,' said a CBI official. 'However, in phase 2, which overlapped with the maintenance period of phase I, JNPA made an additional excess payment of ₹ 438 crore to the contractor, showing that no over dredging was done in phase I or maintenance period thereof,' the official said.
