Hyderabad Cricket Association president Jagan Mohan Rao forged former minister Krishna Yadav's signature to gain eligibility for board election: CID
Hyderabad: In a fresh twist, the man whose signature was allegedly forged by Jagan Mohan Rao to gain eligibility for the HCA elections is C Krishna Yadav, an ex-cabinet minister in the former TDP govt. Krishna Yadav, who had served as a labour minister in 1994, was an accused in the multi-crore fake stamp paper scam. He was arrested in 2003 for allegedly demanding Rs 2 crore from prime accused Abdul Karim Telgi and was later acquitted. The CID on June 11 recorded the statement of Krishna Yadav, president of Gowlipura Cricket Club, in connection with the forgery case involving the HCA. Krishna Yadav is believed to have said that he had no knowledge of the documents submitted to the Hyderabad south district registrar by the accused, seeking to change the club's name from Gowlipura Cricket Club to Sri Chakra Cricket Club (SCCC), the CID remand report said. CID officials further said that C Rajender Yadav, general secretary of SCCC and one of the accused in the case, is Krishna Yadav's brother. 'Krishna Yadav is neither aware of the forgery nor the renaming of the club,' a senior CID official said.

He further alleged that the illegal name change and forged documentation were orchestrated by Rajender Yadav and G Kavitha, Rajender's wife, in collusion with Jagan Mohan, to fraudulently facilitate Jagan Mohan's entry into the HCA and contest the elections for the post of president. Meanwhile, the Telangana Forensic Science Laboratory analysis confirmed the forgery. The signature attributed to Krishna Yadav on the documents submitted to the registrar did not match his verified signature samples, affirming that the signature was indeed forged. In a related development, HCA store in-charge K Jayaraj stated that no official purchases were made or materials issued during the tenure of the accused as members of the HCA Apex Council, indicating further irregularities in procurement practices under their leadership.

Amarnath Yatra: City hospitals abuzz with pilgrims for ECG, blood sugar tests
With Amarnath pilgrims breaching one lakh mark within six days since it began, government hospitals in the temple city are also abuzz with yatris visiting for their health check ups. Pilgrims waiting to register themselves for the annual Amarnath Yatra in Jammu on Tuesday. (PTI) 'They are offline pilgrims, who are pouring here into Jammu city from various parts of the country. We are conducting their ECG and blood sugar tests,' said an official at Gandhi Nagar government hospital. The official informed that those with 'bad' results of their ECG and blood sugar levels are not being given clearance to undertake the pilgrimage. 'The doctors concerned are filling up the results in health certificates with their signature and seal,' he said. The official informed that apart from Gandhi Nagar government hospital, government hospital at Sarwal and Rajiv Gandhi Hospital in Babliana are also attending these pilgrims. 'The pilgrimage is arduous and the cave shrine is at an altitude of over 13,000 feet. Those with heart condition and diabetes cannot be allowed to undertake the pilgrimage,' he added. Amid health check ups of intending pilgrims, the yatra crossed one lakh mark on Tuesday since it began on July 3. 'The figures are constantly spiralling. There is no let up in enthusiasm among the devotees. Pahalgam attack has failed to create any fear among us,' said Krishna Yadav, 46, a pilgrim from Patna. Sheetal Devi, 41, another pilgrim from Azamgarh, said she has come for undergoing the tests. 'The staff at the hospital is very cooperative. They are guiding us properly. I eagerly look forward to undertake the yatra,' she said. The Pahalgam attack on April 22 had left 26 people dead and scores injured. On July 3, more than 12,000 pilgrims had paid obeisance at the cave shrine. Meanwhile, a fresh batch of over 7,500 pilgrims left Bhagwati Nagar base camp here early Tuesday for the 3,880-metre-high cave shrine of Amarnath in south Kashmir Himalayas. The 38-day pilgrimage commenced via the twin tracks — the traditional 48-km-long Nunwan-Pahalgam route in Anantnag district and the 14-km shorter but steeper Baltal route in Ganderbal district. The yatra will conclude on August 9. The seventh batch of 7,541 pilgrims, including 5,516 men and 1,765 women, left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp here in 309 vehicles for the twin base camps in Kashmir. The first pilgrim convoy, carrying 3,321 pilgrims in 148 vehicles, left for the 14-km Baltal route, followed by the second convoy of 4,220 pilgrims in 161 vehicles who are undertaking the yatra via the 48-km traditional Pahalgam route in Anantnag district. There is a huge rush at the counters for on-the-spot registration, with authorities increasing the number of counters to 15 from 12, as well as the daily quota to 4,100 to ease the rush. Over 4,000 devotees arrived in Jammu from various parts of the country to get themselves registered. More than 3.5 lakh people have registered online for the pilgrimage so far. Thirty-four accommodation centres have been set up across Jammu, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are being issued to the pilgrims. Twelve counters have been set up for on-the-spot registration.

Night shifts for women, new layoff rule: Labour department in Delhi gets fresh directions
In a significant measure, the Delhi government has directed the Labour Department to make necessary changes to allow women to work in night shifts, but only with their consent, officials said on Tuesday. The Labour Department has been asked to put in place all safeguards by amending the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act and issuing notifications under the Factories Act, said officials from Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's office. Officials said that directions were also given to amend the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act to increase the threshold of minimum number of employees from one to 10 for the applicability of the Act and to allow shops and establishments to work 24/7. The government has also given directions to 'increase the threshold of workers from 100 to 200, in the Industrial Dispute Act, for seeking permission for closure.' Explaining this further, a senior official from the Labour department said, 'Currently, if any factory or a company wants to exit the business and do layoffs, they have to seek clearance from the departments concerned and the authority. But now, if a factory has 200 or fewer employees, they don't have to seek permission for the closure of the factory and layoffs. This has been done as part of the ease of doing business…' When asked about the move's likely impact on labourers, the official said, 'The labourers will have options to approach the labour court. At present, if the company wants to exit and they don't have the profit to pay the labourers in future, there is no point. So, this is part of the ease of doing business.' Responding to this, Krishna Yadav, General Secretary of Shramik Vikas Sanghatan, said, 'If the government is allowing a factory or industry to exit the business and do layoffs without seeking permission from any authority. There should also be an act to provide compensation to the workers because they are the ones who will be affected and end up losing jobs without any employee funds or benefits.' The government issued a slew of directions, including these in a high-level meeting held by the L-G, along with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, to review the status and progress of various aspects related to the BJP government's flagship policies — 'Ease of Doing Business' and 'Maximum Governance – Minimum Government', enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At the meeting, the L-G also observed that 'restrictive and archaic laws, processes, and regulatory regimes had hampered and discouraged businesses and economic activities', his office underlined in a statement. 'It was underlined by the L-G and the CM that the progress during the last 11 years was far from satisfactory….,' The meeting was also attended by Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood, Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Chief Secretary Dharmendra, top police officers, and heads of all departments concerned. Meanwhile, the Fire department was asked to empanel agencies for a third-party audit. '… so that the large commercial establishments and industrial establishments are allowed to get NOC (no objection certificate) on the audit certificate of empanelled agencies. 'Small establishments may be given an option for a third-party audit. An expression of interest can be floated immediately,' said an official. The department was also asked to revisit its regulations in view of technological advancements and availability of small, drone-based and robotic firefighting equipment, which had made the existing regulations vis-à-vis the breadth of approach roads for access of fire tenders, redundant. Furthermore, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has been directed to reduce the time to give 'consent to operate to 20 days, after which it should be a deemed approval'. It has also been directed to allow self-certification for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in both green and white industries and to empanel a third-party agency for certifications. Officials said that the IT Department will make a single window portal for all kinds of NOCs.

Adani Power adds Reliance Power's former unit to its string of acquisitions
Next Story Krishna Yadav NCLT has approved Adani Power's ₹ 4,000 crore resolution plan to acquire Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd. Adani Power is looking to increase its power-generating capacity to 30.67 GW by 2030 from 17.55 GW now, making it India's largest private sector capacity expansion. (Reuters) Gift this article Adani Power Ltd has inched closer to acquiring the bankrupt Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd, a former subsidiary of Reliance Power Ltd, adding to a list of distressed but strategically located power assets as it strives towards its goal. Adani Power Ltd has inched closer to acquiring the bankrupt Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd, a former subsidiary of Reliance Power Ltd, adding to a list of distressed but strategically located power assets as it strives towards its goal. The National Company Law Tribunal on 18 June approved Adani Power's ₹ 4,000 crore resolution plan to acquire VIPL following a majority nod in February by the distressed company's committee of creditors. Adani Power aims to increase its 17.55 GW of power-generating capacity—including thermal plants across states and a 40 MW solar project in Gujarat—to 30.67 GW by 2030, making it the largest private sector capacity expansion in the country. With its latest acquisition, Adani Power will gain control of VIPL's 600 MW thermal power plant in Butibori, Nagpur, comprising two 300 MW units. The plant has a long-term power purchase agreement with the Maharashtra government for 308.5 MW, ensuring stable cash flows and potential for future scale-up. The VIPL deal follows Adani's recent acquisitions of Dahanu Power ( ₹ 815 crore), Lanco Amarkantak Power, and Coastal Energen ( ₹ 3,330.88 crore), underscoring the group's strategy to drive growth. On Thursday, 19 June, Adani Power shares fell 3.2% to ₹ 533.20 each on NSE, while the Nifty 50 held steady, shedding just 18.80 points amid geopolitical tensions because of the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. VIPL's insolvency Vidarbha Industries Power was admitted into insolvency in September 2024 after CFM Asset Reconstruction moved the tribunal under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). On 24 February this year, Adani Power informed stock exchanges that VIPL's lenders had approved its revival plan, subject to the terms of the letter of intent and necessary regulatory approvals. Adani Power had emerged as the successful resolution applicant after a competitive process that attracted bids from several major players, including Capri Global Holdings, CESC Ltd, Hindustan Thermal Projects, Jindal Power, JSW Energy, NTPC Ltd, Orissa Metaliks, Vedanta Ltd, and Shriniwas Spintex Industries. Under the approved plan, Adani Power will pay ₹ 4,000 crore against total admitted liabilities of ₹ 6,753 crore. The Adani entity has been directed to complete the payment within the stipulated timeframe. 'The Resolution Applicant is directed to make payment of the entire Resolution Plan amount within the time period stipulated under the Resolution Plan, failing which the entire amount paid shall stand forfeited," a Mumbai bench of the NCLT said in its 18 June order. As per the plan, the funding will be arranged through internal accruals or financing by eligible affiliates, with the flexibility to raise capital via equity, debt, preference shares, or external commercial borrowings. Reliance Power's exit VIPL was originally established as a special-purpose vehicle by Reliance Power to develop a 600 MW thermal power plant in Butibori, Nagpur, under a concession from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation. The project was later converted into an independent power project. In September 2024, Reliance Power announced that VIPL was no longer its subsidiary after settling ₹ 3,872 crore in corporate guarantees extended on its behalf. As part of the settlement with CFM Asset Reconstruction, all associated obligations were released and 100% of VIPL's shares were pledged in favour of CFM. VIPL had defaulted on loans from Axis Bank and State Bank of India, which were later acquired by CFM ARC.
