Residents urge authorities to shift Perambur tahsildar office

Chennai: At the Perambur tahsildar office in Vyasarpadi, residents queuing up to submit petitions are met not just with long waits, but also with broken chairs, stray dogs occupying seats, and a single unhygienic restroom. The office, temporarily operating out of a community hall for the past one and a half years, lacks basic amenities, making it distressing for petitioners who visit daily. Locals are now urging authorities to shift the office as they are unable to use the hall. Since there is only one community centre in the locality, residents depend on it for family functions as they cannot afford to rent private halls.

At least 100 people from nearby areas visit the office daily to submit petitions. However, there have been multiple complaints about the lack of basic amenities. People are forced to stand for long hours as the chairs are rusted and mostly occupied by stray dogs," said N Sakthivel of Vyasrpadi, and a member of Vyasai Thozhargal. Though the community hall has two toilets one on the ground floor and another on the first visitors are only allowed to use the ground-floor toilet, which is shared by both men and women. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IQ Worldwide - Test your Intelligence, know your IQ Score Try Now Undo "Moreover, the premises are poorly maintained and unhygienic. Even though the authorities are aware of the problems, not even temporary measures have been taken. We urge authorities to upgrade the existing facility and maintain it properly," said S Chittibabu of Pattalam. Residents also say that those coming for services at the e-seva centre are often redirected to other centres, especially for aadhaar card updates. "We have been maintaining the existing facility at the Chennai Corporation's community hall. Since renovation work is ongoing near the Perambur railway station, we are expecting to move back within the next four months," said a senior official at the office.

Forest department approves Udaipur dam project after securing land near Sariska

Jaipur: The state Forest Department has granted the long-pending No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the Devas III and IV dam project in Udaipur, nearly two years after withholding it due to the unavailability of suitable compensatory land. The clearance followed the identification of 174.1106 hectares of non-forest land near the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar district, fulfilling the department's requirement that the land be adjacent to a tiger reserve or wildlife sanctuary. The Rs 1,691-crore project, aimed at securing Udaipur's future drinking water supply, is proposed on an equivalent area of forest land in the district. As per forest conservation norms, any diversion of forest land for non-forest use must be offset by providing equal non-forest land for afforestation. However, such land was not available near the project site, leading to prolonged delays. A forest official said, "Initially, the Forest Department had objected even after the Udaipur administration identified alternative land within the district. In a revised demand, the department insisted on land located near a protected area. Following this, the Alwar district administration identified land in the Kalad–Pratapgarh forest block adjoining the Sariska Tiger Reserve. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo A total of 340.32 hectares was surveyed, and 174.1106 hectares have been reserved for afforestation. " The process was expedited after the Udaipur administration corresponded with the Alwar Collector, emphasising that the project was a priority for the ruling govt. "After completing the documentation, the revenue proposal has been sent to the state govt for final approval. Once cleared, the land will be transferred to the Forest Department, which will formally issue the NOC. The Water Resources Department had already issued work orders for construction in October 2023. With the NOC expected shortly, physical work on the dam and tunnel is set to begin," the official added.

Sanskrit Diwas celebration eclipsed by faculty shortage

Jaipur: As the Sanskrit education department gears up to celebrate Sanskrit Diwas on Thursday, a glaring issue looms over the festivities— the acute shortage of professors in state's govt-run Sanskrit colleges and at the Rajasthan Sanskrit University. D espite being the only state in India with a dedicated department for Sanskrit education, the lack of faculty has become a persistent problem. At the Rajasthan Sanskrit University, a staggering 31 out of 50 sanctioned teaching positions remain vacant. Since 2017, no new recruitments have been made, leaving the university, which oversees more than 300 private and govt Sanskrit colleges, severely understaffed. The situation is further exacerbated by the absence of a Controller of Examination since 2022, forcing assistant professors to take on additional responsibilities to conduct exams for the 30,000 to 40,000 students who appear annually. The university's research center has also been without a permanent director since 2011, with associate professors filling the role temporarily. Similarly, the 51 Sanskrit colleges under the Sanskrit education department are operating without permanent principals, relying on assistant professors to manage the institutions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2022 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Alarmingly, only 55 teachers are currently employed across these colleges. In a bid to address the staffing crisis, the state govt approved the recruitment of nine teaching and seven non-teaching staff at the university earlier this year. The recruitment process, initiated in April, is expected to conclude by the end of 2023. Additionally, minister for Sanskrit education Madan Dilawar announced ongoing recruitment for 3,483 posts, including 200 Assistant Acharya positions and over 2,700 teaching roles at various levels. .
