Bawankule slams NMC over delay in retaining wall works
Nagpur: Nearly 20 months after the devastating flash floods of September 2023, critical retaining wall works across Nagpur's rivers remain incomplete, exposing the city to yet another monsoon disaster. At a high-level review meeting on Saturday, guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule criticised the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and contractors, citing delays, fund mismanagement, and subletting of major projects. The meeting, attended by senior officials including chief engineer Manoj Talewar, MLAs Pravin Datke, Krishna Khopde, and former corporator Narendra Borkar, revealed that despite a sanctioned outlay of Rs204.71 crore for flood mitigation including Rs163.23 crore for 56 retaining wall works and Rs33.74 crore for 41 damaged roads, progress was sluggish. NMC's own presentation claimed 50 wall projects were complete and 5 ongoing. However, independent reports and ground feedback exposed a different picture, especially in flood-hit areas like Kumbhartoli, where no work had begun. Officials admitted that contractors who took up assignments worth Rs10 crore and Rs6 crore under the Rs150 crore tender sublet them to petty agencies with limited capacity. "This subcontracting without oversight has brought the entire project to a crawl," Borkar told TOI, who also attended the meeting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brits Are Replacing Costly AC's With This Tiny Cooler AiraBreeze Learn More Undo Even more alarming was the funds bottleneck. Though tenders worth Rs154.42 crore were floated, only Rs86.63 crore was disbursed. Contractors blamed this for halting work midway. NMC has now requested the state govt to release the remaining Rs70.26 crore. Bawankule, visibly displeased, instructed the NMC to submit a fresh proposal to the state govt for additional funds to cover remaining disaster management works, including parallel sewage and stormwater infrastructure. He also directed the municipal commissioner to immediately conduct zone-wise meetings with MLAs and ex-corporators and prepare a detailed disaster preparedness report before the monsoon sets in. He further ordered two Janta Darbar sessions at Gandhibagh and Lakadganj to directly address citizens' grievances. A zone-level review will also be held ahead of the next public hearing. Borkar pointed out that NMC is prioritising projects in areas with no immediate threat, while vulnerable localities continue to suffer. "This mismanagement is nothing short of negligence," he said.

India's poverty rate sees sharp decline, falls to 5.3% in 2022-23
India has emerged as a crucial factor in offsetting a sharp global rise in poverty following the World Bank's announcement of a major revision to the International Poverty Line (IPL). The Bank raised the IPL from USD 2.15 per day (2017 purchasing power parity) to USD 3.00 per day (2021 PPP), a change that would have otherwise increased the global count of extreme poor by 226 million thanks to India's updated consumption data and improved survey methodology, the net global increase stood at 125 million - with India alone accounting for a reduction of 125 million in the revised estimates, a government release citing World Bank data said. The revision to the IPL reflects a combination of global changes, including revised national poverty lines in low-income countries, improved measurement of consumption - particularly food and non-food items - and the adoption of updated 2021 PPP estimates. These changes were introduced to better capture real-world living costs and consumption patterns across countries. India's influence on this global recalibration has been significant. India's latest Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) employed the Modified Mixed Recall Period (MMRP) method, replacing the outdated Uniform Reference Period (URP). Under MMRP, frequently purchased items are recorded over shorter recall periods, allowing for a more accurate and realistic capture of household methodological shift led to a notable rise in recorded consumption, which in turn contributed to a lower estimate of poverty. For instance, in 2011-12, applying the MMRP method brought India's poverty rate down from 22.9 per cent to 16.22 per cent, even when assessed under the older USD 2.15 poverty the latest 2022–23 data, India's poverty rate stood at 5.25 per cent under the new USD 3.00 threshold, and dropped even further to 2.35 per cent under the previous USD 2.15 Watch
