Fake news about recruitment rally on social media disappoints many

Nagpur: False information spread over social media about a territorial army (TA) recruitment rally to be held in the city led to aspirant crowds entering Sitabuldi Fort on Wednesday.

Even as the message spoke of a rally taking place between 20th and 24th February, on Wednesday itself a number of aspirants reached here. Some were seen sleeping before the gates of the castle, hoping to take advantage of the early birds.

Army officials came across a message in Marathi that a soldier general duty (GD) and trader recruitment rally would take place from February 20-24. The post, which also had a picture of a woman named as a corporation, Surekha Patil. This reported that the recruitment was soldier general duty and 63 tradesmen for 213 posts. There is no corporation in the town under that name.

The sub-area office of the army for Uttar Maharashtra and Gujarat (UMANG), has lodged a complaint with the police in the matter. The office of the defense PRO issued a statement that recruiting for TA is carried out under the aegis of the ARO which, though all major newspapers, advertises the schedule well in advance.

Advertising is not done by social media and there is no question of involvement of any political leader such as the corporator whose picture was in the post, a source added.

Pardi flyover works just 36% complete in four years

Nagpur: Pardi flyover Bhoomi puja, being designed by the Indian National Highways Authority (NHAI), was performed in August 2014. It was supposed to be completed by the end of 2017, but as it is just 36 percent complete on the date and nobody knows when it will open up to traffic.

From the outset, the project had been dogged by delays. The actual work on the flyover started 22 months after the bhoomipujan, in June 2016. It soon ran into problems with land acquisitions. The NHAI still doesn’t have 40 percent of the land it needs for the project as it has done to date.

NHAI still has to receive approval for its portion design over a narrow-gauge line belonging to the South East Central Railway (SECR). MahaMetro is constructing its viaduct in the area and therefore NHAI is not having enough time to do its job. That has slowed the project down.

An official at NHAI said the project required 1.01 hectares of land, but the organization still did not have 0.34 ha of land. “The owners have declined to part with their land and Nagpur Municipal Corporation will have to go in for compulsory purchase. That will postpone the project even further. The project’s initial cost was Rs 448.32 crore, and much has increased, “he said.

Senior officer Samay Nikose, in elaborating on the project’s status, said the flyover had five weapons.

“The center is Piazza HB City. There are 30 spans to the arm towards Pardi and all of them are complete. There are 33 spans on the Itwari arm and only 10 total. This is where we face problems with land acquisition.

There are 10 spans toward the Rani Prajapati Junction on Central Avenue and we were unable to complete even one. The issues here are both land and alignment with the MahaMetro viaduct. The Manewada arm has 27 spans, but due to a narrow-gauge railway line and MahaMetro viaduct none was complete, “he said.

A rotary is being installed on HB Town Square and piling work is underway.

“The road on the Kalamna arm is 11 meters full on the right side (RHS) and 7 meters on the left side (LHS) on the service roads,” Nikose said. On LHS, except at Hanuman Temple Square, 7-meter patch was built in Pardi’s neck.

Seven-meter patch on RHS is ready and the curing is on. The service road to Manewada is 7 meters ready on RHS while the road to Itwari arm is 11 meters complete on RHS.

Beware of the fraudsters, board watches the misdeeds

Nagpur: The Divisional Board of Nagpur discreetly trains and exercises supervisors /invigilators of the exam centers to recognize bogus hall tickets through which dummy candidates appear for exams. It was a result of this’ reading’ that one such dummy candidate was identified and handed over to police on Tuesday by invigilators.

Ravikant Deshpande, chairman of the divisional board of Nagpur, said, “We were vigilant in such cases and gave our supervisors a detailed briefing on how to identify such fraud. They, in effect, have qualified the invigilators. “The board sends separately a list of the candidates with their images to each exam center, which can be reviewed by the invigilators at any time.

Some instances of impersonation are referred to popularly as ‘totyagiri’. With advances in printing technology and software for photographic photography, the production of partially fake hall tickets has become easier. In part, because the hall ticket has eventually to be authorized by the principal of the college.

Ashok Gavhankar, Vidarbha Junior College Teachers Association (VJUCTA) general secretary said, “The ticket to the hall is a printout that one downloads from the approved site. So it’s just a piece of paper on which the student is present with a scanned photo. This is confirmed by the principal of the college who signs and certifies with the seal of the university.

Many unscrupulous characters threaten to superimpose a fake candidate’s photo on the hall ticket and then forge the principal’s signature and stamp. A highly risky gambit to combat these cases, as the board has brought in checks and balances.

Madhusudhan Mude, president of the Headmasters Association (HA), said, “The board also sends a sheet with names and pictures of the candidates to every exam center. This can be used by invigilators to cross-check whenever there is a question as to the legitimacy of a nominee. It will be stupid of anyone trying to forge a ticket to the hall, as they are likely to get caught.

Lottery ticket for 6 rupees makes Nagpur man a crorepati!

He managed to win a whopping one crore rupees after having tried his luck for four years, just when Nagpur man Prashant Kumar was least hopeful of winning money from a mere six rupees lottery ticket. Forty-year-old Kumar, an employee of the central government in the city, won the huge sum through’ Dear Lottery,’ which is run by the Nagaland government.

Disappointed by constant loss in the lottery game, Kumar decided on January 1 to quit purchasing lottery tickets; he started to avoid visiting lottery ticket stalls. But his fascination with gambling forced him to revisit the stalls. Afterward, one day while on his way to work, unable to spend too much money on tickets, he stopped at a stall and bought a few tickets for just six rupees. However, Kumar would take home around Rs 70 lakhs due to the current 30% tax system applicable.

Surprisingly, 24 hours later online after the results were announced, luck smiled with one crore rupees at Kumar. Dear Lottery held a grand event in Nagpur to congratulate Kumar and the ticket vendor, who was graced by Bollywood actress Bhagyashree (Patwardhan) Dasani.

सातत्याने घडत असलेल्या महिलांवरील अत्याचाराच्या घटनांविरुद्ध आता महिलांनीच आवाज उठविण्याची गरज निर्माण झाली आहे. स्वसंरक्षणार्थ लढण्यासाठी समाजातील प्रत्येक स्त्री कटिबद्ध व्हावी या उद्देषाने डॉ. प्रवीण तोगडिया यांच्या आंतरराष्ट्रीय हिंदू परिषदेतर्फे (आयएचपी) छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांच्या जयंतीनिमित्त युवतींना त्रिशूळ आणि तलवारचे वाटप महालातील छत्रपत्री शिवाजी महाराज चौकात बुधवारी करण्यात आले.

हिंगणघाट येथील पेट्रोल हल्ल्याचे प्रकरण अगदीच ताजे आहे. प्रकरणातील महिला प्राध्यापक सात दिवसांच्या संघर्षानंतर मृत पावली. या प्रकरणामुळे पुन्हा एकदा महिलांची सुरक्षा, त्यांच्यावर होणारे अत्याचार, अशा प्रकारच्या वाढलेल्या घटना आणि मनुष्यातील या पाशवी वृत्तीला-मानसिकतेला बदलविण्याची गरज आदी मुद्दे पुढे आले आहेत. महिलांवरील अत्याचाराच्या घटना सातत्याने वाढत आहेत. घटनेनंतर काही दिवस हळहळ व्यक्त होते. कँडल मार्च निघतात. मोर्चे, आंदोलन, धरणे होऊन सात दिवसांत शांतता पसरते.

पुन्हा नव्याने अशीच एखादी घटना घडते आणि पुढील चक्र फिरू लागते. या प्रकारच्या घटनांमध्ये आरोपीला होणाऱ्या शिक्षांची संख्या काही वर्षांमध्ये वाढली आहे. न्यायपालिकादेखील अशा प्रकरणांमध्ये तत्परता दाखवित आहे. परंतु, या घटनांना आळा घालण्यासाठी मानसिकता बदलविण्याची आणि घटना घडण्याची शक्यता असल्यास जागच्या जागी लागलीच थांबविण्याची गरज आहे. यासाठी महिलांनी सक्षम व्हायला आहे.

महिला सशक्त झाल्या. त्यांनी लगेच घनास्थळी संबंधित विकृतीला चोप दिल्यास अशा घटनांवर नियंत्रण येऊ शकणार आहे. त्यासाठी आंतरराष्ट्रीय हिंदू परिषदेतर्फे शिवजयंतीला त्रिशूळ आणि तलवार वाटप करण्यात आले, अशी माहिती प्रांतमंत्री किशोर दिकोंडवार यांनी दिली.

त्रिशूळ आणि तलवार वाटप उपक्रमासाठी आयएचपीतर्फे आवाहन करण्यात आले होते. त्याला प्रतिसाद देत सुमारे तीस युवतींनी उपस्थिती दर्शविली. त्यांना स्वसंरक्षणासाठी त्रिशूळ आणि तलवार देण्यात आली. या शस्त्राचा गैरवापर न करता केवळ स्वत:च्या संरक्षणार्थ शस्त्र वापरणार असल्याची शपथ देण्यात आली. तसेच या प्रकारच्या घटना कुठे घडत असल्याचे आढळताच त्याचा बिमोड करण्याचा संकल्प करण्यात आला.

पारडी में निर्माणाधीन मेट्रो पिलर का लोहे का शेड गिरा

नागपुर:- महामेट्रो, एनएचएआई के सौजन्य से शहर में जारी मेट्रो निर्माण कार्य के पारडी चौक पर लोहे के सरियों से कसा पिलर का शेड अचानक सड़क पर आ गिरा. बता दें कि पारडी भंडारा रोड पर इस समय अनेक स्थानों पर मेट्रो का काम शुरू है. इस काम के लिए अनेक स्थानों पर गड्ढे खोदे गए हैं तो अनेक स्थानों पर बैरिकेड्स लगाये गए हैं.

मंगलवार की रात करीब 8 बजे पिलर की लोहे की सेंिट्रंग को कसते वक़्त लोहे का शेड गिर गया. जिस समय हादसा हुआ पिलर के पास कर्मचारी काम कर रहे थे. शेड गिरते ही कर्मचारियों की सांसें फूलने लगी. अच्छा हुआ सड़क पर रात में यातायात कम हो जाता है जिस कारण इस हादसे में गनीमत यह रही कि कोई भी हताहत नहीं हुआ.

बताया गया िक बीते गई दिनों से मेट्रो की कार्यप्रणाली को लेकर तरह तरह के आरोप लगाए जा रहे है किन्तु मेट्रो अधिकारी कार्य में किसी भी प्रकार की चुस्ती नहीं दिखा पा रहे है. पारडी चौक महामार्ग पर चलना अब दुष्कर हो गया है. नागरिक हलाकान है कि यहां वाहन चलाना काफी मुश्किल है.

लोगों ने कहा कि मेट्रो निर्माण के कारण हादसे हो रहे हैं, जिसे लेकर गंभीरता नहीं बरती जा रही. रास्तों पर धूल, मिट्टी, गड्ढे इतने बड़े हो गये है कि वाहन गुजरने में तकलीफ होती है. किन्तु अाला अधिकारी और नगरसेवक आंखें मूंदकर बैठे है. हालात यह है कि ट्राफिक जाम से निराशा होती है और बहुत समय बर्बाद होता है जिससे अनावश्यक देरी गंतव्य तक पहुंचने में होती है.

स्थानीय लोगों में आक्रोश:- बता दें कि स्थानीय लोग इस बात को लेकर काफी आक्रोशित हैं. इस समस्या को लेकर स्थानीय तौर पर प्रॉजेक्ट बीते तीन वर्ष से लंबित है और मुख्य सड़क का काम भी अधूरा पड़ा है. एक वर्ष पहले ही बड़े आंदोलन किए गए थे. इस समस्या के कारण आम लोगों को काफी परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ रहा है. पता नहीं स्थानीय समस्या से जूझ रहे पारडी के नागरिकों को धूल, मिट्टी, गड्ढे, चरमराई ट्राफिक व्यवस्था से निजात कब मिलेगी.
