Encroachments removed from Sindhi Camp bus stand
Jaipur: Anti-encroachment committee of JMC-Heritage Wednesday conducted a drive to remove encroachments from Sindhi Camp bus stand, the busiest bus terminal in the city. More than two dozen illegal carts were confiscated, and encroachments made on the road outside shops were removed, officials said. Manoj Mudgal, chairperson of the anti-encroachment committee, said, "Many people had encroached upon the bus stand, due to which operation of buses was disturbed and passengers and drivers were facing problems. We first tried to explain to local traders to remove the encroachments, but, despite our efforts, the encroachments were not cleared. Action was finally taken by the civic body today." Mudgal added that main roads and intersections in the Walled City will also be made encroachment-free. "This will not only make the traffic system in Jaipur smooth, but domestic and foreign tourists visiting will be able to see the beauty of the Pink City in a better way," he said. Meanwhile, JMC-Greater removed temporary encroachments from Pankaj Singhvi Marg, Fortis Hospital, JLN Marg, near Jawahar Circle Police Station, Nandpuri Underpass, Sanganer Bazaar, City Bus Stand, Malpura Gate, and surrounding areas on Wednesday. Two canters of goods were seized and sent to the warehouse, and a carrying charge of Rs 10,000 was collected on the spot from the encroachers, officials said.

53cr arrears of sanitation worker's pay; JMC probes
Jaipur: A glaring payroll error in the Jaipur Municipal Corporation-Heritage ( JMC-Heritage ) came to light when the finance department flagged a payment request showing Rs 53 crore in arrears for a single sanitation worker. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The arrears were meant to cover dues of Rs 12,812 each for sanitation workers for Feb2021. However, an arrear of Rs 53 crore was approved for Om Prakash Gurjar, a sanitation worker in the Kishanpol zone. The inflated amount cleared five levels of verification and was digitally signed before being forwarded to the finance department, which detected the anomaly and halted the payment. JMC-Heritage commissioner Arun Kumar Hasija said an inquiry has been ordered to find out how such a massive oversight occurred. He added that a standard operating procedure is being drafted to strengthen verification and past payments will also be reviewed. "This is a clear case of negligence and human error in typing, which should not have happened. One component in the arrear payment was Rs 5,300, but a typing mistake inflated it. The bill passed through multiple levels of approval, yet no one noticed the unusually high total. This lapse is unacceptable, and we are also reviewing past payments," said Hasija. Sanyukt Valmiki Evam Safai Shramik Sangh has also called for an investigation. "There must be an impartial probe, and strict action against the responsible officers and employees," said Nandkishore Dandoriya of the organisation.
