Kondurg mandal chosen as pilot for Bhu Bharathi in RR
To create awareness about the Act, the idea of organising the Bhu Bharati village revenue conferences in different areas was mooted. They are scheduled from May 5 and will last until 20.
Collector C Narayan Reddy instructed the tahsildars to make appropriate arrangements at places where the conferences are being held to ensure more people get details about the flagship programme.
'As per instructions from the government, awareness programmes will be conducted as Bhu Bharati revenue conferences in all mandals across the State. Accordingly, Kondurg mandal in Ranga Reddy district has been selected on a pilot basis to organise awareness programmes from 5-20 of this month, excluding the district headquarters,' he stated.
Reddy said applications on land issues will be received from the locals in the 20 villages. Steps will be taken to resolve grievances according to the new Act. 'Two teams have been formed in the mandal to work on the project. Appropriate arrangements are being made to implement it thoroughly,' claimed the official.
The collector asked officials to give wide publicity to the conferences being organised in the targeted villages. Apart from flexies, a help desk should be set up to help the locals.
The officials must be there promptly from 9 am to 4 pm to receive applications. They should keep all relevant records for ready reference while attending the conferences in the villages.

Detentions Mark BJP's ‘Sewadar' Drive
1 2 Chandigar/Jalandhar/Ferozepur: Several BJP leaders were detained across Punjab on Thursday as police cracked down on them over their party's latest campaign, 'BJP De Sewadar Aa Gaye Ne Tuhade Dwaar'. While BJP claimed that the campaign is part of a drive to spread awareness about central govt schemes, the AAP govt in Punjab has alleged that the saffron party is illegally collecting people's personal data, a violation under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. Punjab BJP working president Ashwani Sharma said the detentions were carried out at 28 places. "At eight places, police took away camp materials, including laptops etc. from the authorised CSC individuals," he said, adding that he was going to write to the Punjab director general of police (DGP).

Punjab to come up with new law to protect trees in urban areas
Chandigarh: To maintain green cover, ensure ecological balance, prevent environmental pollution, and conserve soil, the Punjab forest and wildlife preservation department is drafting The Punjab Protection of Trees Act, 2025. The proposed act will extend to all urban areas of Punjab, covering the limits of nagar councils, municipal corporations, motified area committees, town area committees, and urban development authorities/bodies. It also provides for the appointment of a 'tree officer', defined as an executive officer in the urban local bodies of Punjab or any other officer notified by the state govt. Under Section 4 of the Act, no person will be permitted to fell, cut, remove, or dispose of any tree in urban areas, except in the case of a tree that is completely dead or has fallen naturally without human intervention. The Section 5 lays down specific provisions and conditions under which a tree may be felled, while Section 9 prescribes penalties for violations of Section 4. Chairing a meeting with officials of the department at the Forest Complex, minister-in-charge Lal Chand Kataruchak was apprised that dried, dead, and dangerous trees are being felled to prevent risks to human life. In the first phase, 25,000 such trees will be removed. The minister commended the department for exceeding its plantation targets set to mark the 350th martyrdom day of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur. Against the target of 80.5 lakh saplings, as many as 90 lakh have already been planted across all 23 districts, with 3.5 lakh saplings planned for each district. He also reviewed the progress of plantation along both sides of highways in districts including Ropar (with special focus on Anandpur Sahib), Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar (around the ancestral village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh at Khatkar Kalan), Sangrur, Pathankot, and Amritsar. Interacting with divisional forest officers via video conferencing, he appreciated Sangrur for taking the lead and urged all districts to execute the project with full zeal and dedication. Additionally, the minister approved reclassification of categories for poetry contests being organised in memory of late poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi. Under the revised classification, the primary category will include Classes 1 to 5, secondary will cover Classes 6 to 8, while Classes 9 to 12 will fall under the senior secondary category.

Solution to Governor withholding Bills political, not judicial: SG to SC
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre if a Governor has unlimited power to withhold a Bill for time immemorial, then what is the safeguard for a duly elected legislature. The remarks came as Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appearing for the Centre repeatedly underlined before a five-judge Constitution bench, hearing President Droupadi Murmu's reference on the question whether the court can impose timelines for Governors and President to deal with Bills passed by state Assemblies, that the judiciary too needs to respect the separation of powers and that solution to such problems lay in the political sphere. The hearing saw sharp exchanges, with the SC bench questioning Governor withholding Bills indefinitely and the Centre pushing back reminding the court that the top judiciary had opposed setting time limit for trial courts or giving any foothold to the executive in judicial appointments by striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act. 'Suppose a legislature, which is elected by a two-thirds majority unanimously passes a Bill… Then if he (Governor) doesn't exercise the proviso, it will make the legislature totally defunct,' Chief Justice of India B R Gavai presiding over the bench observed. The bench also included Justices Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar. To the CJI's comment, SG Mehta said: 'Your Lordship's concern is a concern, but the answer is this forum is not the solution. Solution is… amendment of the Constitution and till that happens, the political process… Every state does not take such a confrontational position. They too exercise their diplomatic solutions… they persuade, discuss, debate… and ultimately the problem gets solved. Your Lordships are not flooded with state governments saying Bills are pending.' He said the judiciary's penchant to intervene in the matter 'necessarily presupposes a belief that ultimately we will have to solve every problem'. The senior law officer went on to quote celebrated American judge Benjamin N. Cardazo, saying, 'The judge even when he is free is not a knight-errant, roaming at will in pursuit of his own ideal of beauty and goodness.' Mehta explained that the knight errant was an allusion to a 'speaking of a fictional character roaming around trying to correct everything he felt was wrong about society'. He said, 'Even if the Governor sits on the Bill, the solution does not lie here but in the political sphere. There are all political cases. Such instances do happen and are solved through the democratic process. It is wrong to believe that there can be circumstances where every other organ would fail and therefore the only other organ would be this organ… There are certain problems which are not solvable by the judiciary. They are to be solved by a political democratic process. When such a thing happens, we have to expect and accept that there are constitutional functionaries who are responsible and responsive because they are answerable to the people everyday and at least every five years.' The CJI, however, said 'Governor is not answerable to anyone'. Disagreeing, Mehta said, 'Governor is the most vulnerable office… When Governor sits over a Bill, for good reasons, bad reasons, no reason, whatever, then the political process takes over. Governor can be called back… Why should we not trust other constitutional functionaries? It is a matter of the Chief Minister talking to the other constitutional functionaries that we are facing a constitutional problem.' 'Whenever something happens in the judiciary, the system takes care of it. There is an inbuilt system and every problem does not come on the judicial side. Your Lordship takes a decision on the administrative side.' Justice Narasimha said the judiciary not taking up the state's complaint when the Governor withholds a Bill for long may lead to a logjam. Mehta said, 'Every logjam may not have a solution with the judiciary… There are several problems which will have to be sorted out as per the constitutionally prescribed democratic political process and the court would hold its hands saying it's non-justiciable…' The CJI then asked: What then happens to the will of the two-thirds majority of the state? Mehta said, 'I do not like the way I am going to answer. But suppose a citizen approaches the President saying my trial is pending since 10 years and the sessions judge is not taking up the matter and my offence is punishable with only 7 years imprisonment…can inaction on part of the judiciary empower the President to declare him having already undergone the sentence?' 'Some problems the solution can come from only within the system. That is the doctrine of separation of powers… The moment the executive tried to step in the judicial domain, Your lordships have restricted… on the ground or separation of powers. That is how NJAC went. The NJAC was declared illegal… It was passed unanimously, but your Lordships protected the separation of powers… It will have to be a two-way street. Some issues are non-justiciable.'
