Among 30 fire service officials, 16 belong to the Gujarat and Bihar state government fire departments, while the other 14 are from Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), Maharashtra Industrial Development Organisation, Heavy Water Plant at Kota and Heavy Water Board Facilities at Vadodara under the Department of Atomic Energy. The STC was recently recognised and accredited by the National Fire Service College (NFSC), Nagpur. Port Blair, Jul 15 (PTI) Andaman and Nicobar Lieutenant Governor Admiral DK Joshi (Retired) on Tuesday welcomed 30 officials from six organisations across the country, who attended their first class on fire services at the State Training Centre (STC) here. Joshi lauded the Fire and Emergency Services of the archipelago for its commitment to professional excellence and disaster preparedness. He said that the recognition by NFSC is not only a testament to the department's rising stature but also a reflection of its significant contribution in enhancing national fire safety standards, a statement issued by the police said. The STC in Port Blair is the 11th such NFSC-recognised training institute across India. The inauguration programme was held in presence of Chief Secretary Dr Chandra Bhushan Kumar, DGP Hargobinder Singh Dhaliwal, IGP (Fire) Sindhu Pillai A and other senior officials. The DGP emphasised that this milestone significantly raises the profile of the A&N Fire and Emergency Services at the national level.

Andaman LG orders discontinuation of 'No dues certificate' while registering property
PORT BLAIR: The Lieutenant Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Vice Chairman of Islands Development Agency (IDA), Admiral D K Joshi (Retired) has approved major reforms in the Revenue department by discontinuing 'No Dues Certificate' and 'Non-Encumbrance Certificate' while registering a property. A statement issued by the Lieutenant Governor's office on Friday claimed that the decision was taken to promote ease of doing business. "The discontinuation of 'No Dues Certificate' and 'Non-Encumbrance Certificate' will be effective from June 9," it said. While elaborating more, a senior Raj Niwas official, said, "Earlier, these certificates were mandatory while registration of any property to ascertain any revenue due. The administration under the guidance of Lieutenant Governor felt that since the Sub-Registrar verifies revenue receipts during property registration, there is no need to get separate 'No Dues Certificate' and 'Non-Encumbrance Certificate'. This will bring a huge relief for the Islanders." Another major decision taken by the Lieutenant Governor was the abolition of 'valuation certificates'. "All concerned officials were asked to discontinue 'valuation certificates' which they used to ask during property-related matters. No other states and union territory follows this practice and therefore it will also be disconnected. Property valuation will now be based strictly on notified circle rates, taking into account various determining factors," the official statement said. It further said, "In an effort to improve fuel accessibility across the islands, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Integrated Development Corporation Limited (ANIIDCO) has been authorized to open new petrol pumps wherever demand exists. Necessary approvals will be taken as required, enabling a more demand-driven approach to fuel distribution.". The Lieutenant Governor also discontinued the Revenue Department's mandatory annual survey requirement for boat license renewal with immediate effect. "With the implementation of the new Inland Vessels Act and associated rules, the responsibility for vessel surveys now lies with the chief surveyor or designated surveyors of inland vessels, not with the Revenue department," the official statement added.
