Use of uncalibrated weighing scales increases in markets
Hubballi: The using of uncalibrated weighing machines in markets is on the rise, posing serious concerns for consumers. Besides uncalibrated weighing machines, some traders use stones and non-standard weights, particularly in smaller markets and roadside stalls. The legal metrology department's lethargic approach is the reason for the negligence of traders. Regular inspections and verification of weighing instruments have become rare. Consumers often receive less quantity than what they pay for, especially in loose items like vegetables, fruits and groceries. The difference may seem minimal per transaction but accumulates to significant amounts over time. Senior citizens and homemakers, who regularly shop for household needs, are the worst affected by these malpractices. Mahesh Jadhav, a vegetable purchaser at Janata Bazar, highlighted the prevalent issue of manipulated weighing practices. He observed that traders in weekly markets, including Janata Bazar, MG Market, Bengeri Shaniwar Dante, Old Hubballi Market and Unkal Weekly Market, openly utilise unsealed iron weights with beam scales. When customers request to see certified weights, the vendors become confrontational and dismiss concerns by claiming the expiration of their seals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo The authorities need to conduct surprise checks and impose hefty penalties on defaulters, Jadhav said. Some buyers said consumer awareness is equally important. Buyers should check for certification stamps on weighing machines and report any irregularities to the legal metrology department. Local consumer forums should organise awareness campaigns about proper weighing practices and consumer rights. The govt must strengthen the monitoring and provide adequate staff and resources to the department, they said. Manjunath S, assistant controller of the legal metrology department in Hubballi, said two inspectors oversee the region — one for Hubballi city and another for Hubballi. These market inspectors regularly conduct unannounced inspections and impose penalties on vendors selling vegetables, fruits and groceries. From January to July 2025, authorities registered 118 cases and collected fines totalling Rs 3,85,000. According to regulations, electronic weighing scales require annual calibration, whilst beam weighing scales need calibration every two years. The market inspectors, besides performing surprise checks in the marketplace, are also responsible for affixing seals on the weighing scales, he added.

Uproar in House as Sena (UBT) comes down heavily on Shinde for ‘corruption in BMC' remark
The Maharashtra Assembly on Thursday descended into chaos after Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde launched a scathing attack on the erstwhile Shiv Sena-led administration over alleged corruption in the BMC, sparking protests from the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) and a 10-minute adjournment. Besides, the Opposition was also upset over the fact that Sena UBT party leader Bhaskar Jadhav was denied an opportunity to reply . Replying to a debate under Rule 293 on urban development and housing, Shinde — who also holds the urban development portfolio — said the Mahayuti government had accelerated stalled redevelopment projects in Mumbai and promised that the 'Marathi manoos' who had left the city due to lack of affordable housing would now return. He announced the clearance of 21 cluster redevelopment schemes and assured completion of several long-pending projects in partnership with state-run utilities. Referring to the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP), Shinde rejected criticism about private control being given to Adani group, saying the state government was actively involved through the Slum Rehabilitation Authority and dismissed claims that the Adani Group had been handed the project without safeguards. He also announced an online portal for pothole-related complaints and incentives for redevelopment in airport funnel zones. However, his sharp remarks accusing the previous BMC administration — controlled by Uddhav Thackeray's Sena — of large-scale irregularities triggered a furore from the Opposition benches. After Shinde's speech, Sena (UBT) MLA Bhaskar Jadhav rose to respond but was denied the opportunity by Speaker Rahul Narwekar, who maintained that only Aaditya Thackeray, who had initiated the debate, could exercise the right to reply — and he was not present in the House at the time. The decision led to loud protests from the Opposition, with Sena (UBT) members accusing the Speaker of bias and siding with the ruling alliance. Amid the din, the Speaker adjourned the House for 10 minutes. When proceedings resumed, Cabinet Minister Shambhuraj Desai (Shiv Sena) and Shinde objected to the alleged gestures made by Jadhav and Thackeray towards the Chair. Shinde also accused Jadhav of daring the Speaker to suspend him — calling it 'unacceptable conduct.' Ajay Chaudhari, leader of the Sena (UBT) in the Assembly, defended his colleague, arguing that the right to reply was not restricted to a single member and that Thackeray had momentarily stepped out due to official commitments. Outside the House, Jadhav accused the Speaker of acting like a government functionary. 'The Speaker has abandoned neutrality. He denied the Opposition the basic right to reply. Shinde's speech was full of falsehood, and we were not allowed to counter it,' he said, alleging that several critical issues, including civic concerns in Thane and other cities, education, anganwadis, and water supply, were ignored in Shinde's response. Outside the house, Aaditya Thackeray further criticised Shinde and challenged him for a one-hour public debate on the working of the urban development department. 'I will ask pointed questions, and I expect straight answers,' he told reporters, calling Shinde 'ungrateful and shameless,' and accusing him of betraying the very party that gave him political space and position.

War of words in Maha Assembly between Aditya Thackeray, Shinde camp ministers
Mumbai: A verbal duel took place in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday between Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena camp ministers and SS-UBT legislator Aditya Thackeray. Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar expressed his displeasure over the gesture and language used by Shiv Sena-UBT legislators Aditya Thackeray and Bhaskar Jadhav in the House. 'If an irregularity has happened in the past, it should happen again. I told Bhaskar Jadhav in clear words that the right to 'right to reply' belongs to the member who initiated the discussion. No matter how many accusations you make against me, I will not allow irregularity to happen in this House," said Assembly Speaker Narwekar expressing strong displeasure. After Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde replied to the opposition's motion for discussion under Rule 293, SS-UBT legislator Bhaskar Jadhav sought permission from the Speaker to ask some questions again (right to reply). However, the Speaker refused permission, saying that Thackeray had initiated the discussion, and that he was no longer in the House, so he would not give this opportunity to anyone else. After being denied permission, Jadhav became aggressive and started making gestures towards the Speaker and speaking loudly. Jadhav's action made Shinde camp ministers and MLAs jump into the Well. Amid all the chaos, Aaditya Thackeray entered the House gesturing towards Shinde Sena ministers that led to pandemonium in the house. Shinde Sena ministers were also engaged in making gestures towards Thackeray and speaking loudly, while Uddhav Sena MLAs also became aggressive. In this chaos, the proceedings of the Assembly were adjourned for 10 minutes. After the proceedings resumed, Minister Shambhuraj Desai demanded Jadhav's suspension. Jadhav made derogatory statements about the Speaker. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that everyone should respect the dignity of the House, questioning whether Bhaskar Jadhav's move to make gestures and his style of speaking was appropriate.

Unbelievable! Pune-Bangalore highway blocked by five youths to shoot reel, booked
Highways often face traffic congestions. However, traffic was recently halted on the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway (NH-48) because of five youngsters from Satara, who were busy making a reel featuring a new SUV. The five youngsters, including a minor have been booked by the police. The incident took place on July 10, causing traffic to come to a standstill for nearly 20 minutes, reported Punekar News. One of the five youngsters who have been booked — Om Jadhav, had just received his brand new SUV worth ₹ 20 lakh. On his way back from the showroom, Jadhav and his group of friends parked the newly purchased SUV on NH‑48 near the Bombay Restaurant bridge. They then recorded a video, allegedly using a drone without permission, and uploaded the footage on social media — all the while pausing traffic for nearly 20 minutes, as per Punekar News. The local video came to the attention of the police, who booked the group of five people. A FIR has been registered against Om Jadhav (21), Kushal Kadam (20), Soham Shinde (20), Nikhil Mahangade (27), and one unnamed minor. The police has asked Jadhav to record a video apologising for the incident. 'We reviewed the video, and identified the individuals involved. They were booked for causing an obstruction on a national highway and for unauthorised use of a drone,' Punekar News quoted Senior Police Inspector Rajendra Mhaske as saying. Last month, three students from the Gautam Buddha University in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida were arrested for dragging a police barricade with their SUV. As per police officials, the group of three men were returning from a wedding, and were under the influence of alcohol. The video of the incident was all over on social media. The SUV in the video, a Mahindra Scorpio, was also seized after the incident.
