Public transport has always had a problem with the City. With the advent of Aapli Buses on the roads, however, there seemed to have come in many ways as a ray of hope as they catered for the growing need of the same. It seems, however, that the Aapli Buses are also facing a bad time in supplying them with proper maintenance. The shabby roads and poor bus maintenance appear to have made the operators face the irritation of Nagpur’s civic body–the NMC.
Given the condition of the buses, it seems that the Aapli buses are faltering on the maintenance aspect that made the NMC charge the Rs 15 lakh fine. At the same time, the two lakhs were also levied on the group called DIMTS for failing to make sure the city busses are kept in the proper order just to have a good time for the people. The buses acted in accordance with Narendra Borkar, Chairperson, Department of Transport, NMC’s directives.
Together with the other civic officials, he carried out the inspections of city buses as well as enforcing the huge fines on the operators that helped to ensure that the buses that are seen are kept in the right condition. Many vulnerabilities came to the attention of last Friday’s checks and balances. The fines were levied for violation of the terms of the contract. We also experienced a major set of backs with inadequate bus maintenance, including major damage that would require heavy repairs.
An Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) mechanical engineering undergraduate, Bombay, Somansh Chordia emerged as one of ten candidates who scored 100 percentiles in CAT 2019. As many as four Maharashtra candidates made it to the great scorer list.
Despite his interest in management since school, he encouraged him to pursue academic management and prepare for CAT through numerous guest lectures at the institute. His father is an owner, and his mother is a teacher of the abacus. “Abacus was an important component for me as I grew up. It not only improved my arithmetic skills but also improved visualization and problem-solving. First, it helped me crack JEE and now CAT,” Somansh says.
Somansh is currently in BTech’s final year and is being trained for CAT as well as regular classes at the school. His training method for CAT included solving numerous mock tests and using different sources to review content. “I tried to study with peers for elective courses as it helped me cover various topics in a limited amount of time through group discussions and cross-learning. It became a bit tough during the placement season as I couldn’t spend much time training, but it all settled well in the end,” the Nagpur boy added.
“IIM Ahmedabad would be my first preference for a postgraduate program. I have not narrowed down on my core area, but I will try to integrate my knowledge of mechanical engineering with management,” says Somansh, an avid badminton player who enjoys reading autobiographies.
NAGPUR: Alarmed by the imminent introduction of the National Population Register (NPR) exercise to be accompanied by the National Citizens ‘ Register (NRC), many Muslim cities are now running from pillar to post trying to collect their own documents as well as those of their ancestors to prove citizenship.
While there is no clarification as to what paperwork is going to be required, people start with birth and death certificates. The basic reason Muslims are first in the queue is the fear of becoming stateless in the event that they fail to make it to NRC as the Citizenship (Amendment) Act has disqualified the religion from obtaining nationality.
For many, Qabristans (cemeteries) is the first destination where they bury their parents and grandparents. The irregular visits are caused by their parents and grandparents ‘ incomplete birth and death records next to their own.
On Monday, TOI visited the Department of Birth and Death of NMC, Jaripatka and Mominpura burial grounds, which are said to be the oldest in town dating back to 1857. Officials confirmed that there is a sudden rush to get birth and death records from all three places.
Amateur Rahman Khan, NMC health officer and sub-registrar, said so far that many have not cared to hold or misplace decades of death certificates. “We still have to get the guidance, but people want all documents to be kept in place,” he said. Khan said that on the NMC website, people can also check their records online or visit his department.
Worried people who have been queuing up at NMC’s Civil Lines office since morning are guided to bring a’ ghat copy’ or acknowledgment from the place where the last rites were held for a delayed birth/death certificate being further processed.
Records are available at Mominpura from 1938 when a couple of days ago they received a request for a 1925 death certificate. Officials from Jaripatka said they had documents from 1965. In order to get a’ ghat copy’ or burial acknowledgment letter, people need to show slips issued by Qabristan Committee at the time of burial.
Several document seekers are those whose parents have passed away and have no certificates of birth/death. Surprisingly, they have records from their ancestors. “People feel that death certificates should fit grandparents ‘ birth/death certificates to prove that their parents were legal Indian citizens besides their own documents,” said an official.
Another clause pursuant to Section 13(3) of the 1969 Registry of Births and Deaths requires certificates to be given subject to certain conditions. An applicant must carry a’ ghat copy’ and send it to the department that performs a police verification and prepares a non-availability (NA) application to be submitted to JMFC with ID proof of the deceased. The applicant must then obtain a favourable order based on which the certificate is issued by the NMC. For delayed birth certificates, school leaving certificate and ID proof has to be submitted for preparing the NA proposal.
Nagpur: The Excise Department entered the Nagpur Police in compliance with District Collector’s orders and reached the highest conviction rate to date, i.e. 16%. Dr. Bhushan Kumar Upadhayay, Police Superintendent (SP), Rakesh Ola, and Deputy Police Commissioner (DCP) of all five areas of Nagpur City played a key role in cracking the whip on the illegal hooch dens across the city, Excise Superintendent, Pramod Someone, told Nagpur Today.
Drawing on the liquor sales registered by the department in the month of December 2019, the Superintendent recorded 8.72% spurt in country liquor sales, 7.43% in international liquor sales and 5.97% in beer compared to December 2018.
“Total 26,12,213 litres of country-made liquor, 12,47,240 litres of foreign liquor, 6,27,712 litres of beer along with 21,334 litres of wine sale was registered in December 2018. However, December 2019 registered 28,40,081 litres of country-made liquor sale (+2,27,868), 13,34,866 litres of foreign liquor (+87,626), 6,92,326 litres of beer (+35,326) and around 50 litres of hike in sale of wine,” he said.
“December 31, 2019, alone generated revenue of Rs 9,67,000 in the district on account of the department’s total of 59 one-day permits,” the Excise Superintendent stated.
In 2018, the department reported a total of 2410 offences in which 2035 suspects were detained. This year, the Excise Department has seized Rs 2.59 crore items. In 2019, the department confiscated items worth Rs 3.18 crore (+ 1.21 crore) in addition to reporting 2699 offenses (+ 289) in which 2561 suspects were booked(+ 526).
Nagpur:- Proving what true love is all about, by donating his kidney, a 47-year-old man pulled his wife out of the jaws of death. Over 30 kidney transplants have been observed by the city-based Super Speciality Hospital but it was the first time a man donated his kidney and saved his wife’s life. The name of the husband is Rajesh Jibhkate, born in Bhandara, and a professional farmer.
Rajesh’s aunt, Laxmi, has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease for the past few months, according to records. Both of Laxmi’s kidneys had failed because of the disease and led a poor quality of life. Since June 2019, she has been treated in the Department of Nephrology at the Super Speciality Hospital (SSH) in Nagpur. Kidney transplant had been advised by the SSH doctors. Rajesh then took the lead and shared his desire to donate his kidney to save his beloved wife’s life. Rajesh’s blood group also balanced Laxmi’s blood group and also worked in his favour with other factors.
On Monday, January 6, the SSH doctors performed positive renal transplant surgery. Laxmi can now lead a healthy life after the kidney transplant. Expressing his gratitude, Rajesh said that the kidney transplant was not only for saving his wife but also a mother of three daughters. “I think it was my duty to give this gift to her.”
Under the guidance of GMCH Dean Dr. Sajal Mitra, Special Executive Officer Dr. Milind Fulpatil, the successful renal transplant at SSH was conducted by a team of doctors including Kidney Transplant Specialist Dr. Sanjay Kolte, Nephrologist Dr. Sameer Choube, Head of Nephrology Department Dr. Charulata Bawankule, Head of Urology Department Dr. Dhananjay Selukar, Dr. Kunal Meshram, Dr. Prateek Laddha, Dr. Rit.

Avoid paying extra fees and charges by keeping track of your accounts and cards and using bank charges only when you need them While NEFT and RTGS are no longer paid, you will still have to pay for IMPS transactions. From this year onwards, you can pay no fees for bank transfers through NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) or RTGS (Real-time Gross Settlement). Shortly after its July monetary policy review, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) declared that processing fees paid on NEFT and RTGS transactions will not apply as of January 2020. But this news may have come as a surprise to consumers who don’t know about the fees charged by banks on various services. We mention a few changes of this kind.
These are imposed on cash deposits by many banks beyond a certain transaction limit. The first few purchases are, in most cases, free. Usually, for transactions made in your home branch, the rules are more relaxed. “Cash handling fees are an integral part of the bank’s costs. While transacting from your home branch allows for higher limits, you still have to pay charges of somewhere between 50-150 per transaction if you exceed that limit, “said Navin Chandani, Chief Business Officer, BankBazaar.com, a marketplace for online financial services. Although NEFT and RTGS will no longer bear a fee, transactions with IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) will still be paid. The fee is primarily dependent on the amount being transferred and the bank’s transfer policy. Usually, it’s in the range from 1 to 25.
Lack of minimum balance:- In your savings account, almost all banks insist on keeping a monthly or quarterly average balance. For example, customers holding savings accounts in metro and urban center branches are required by the State Bank of India (SBI) to maintain an average monthly balance of about 3,000. For customers in semi-urban branches, the requirement drops to about 2,000 and for rural branches to about 1,000. The bank charges about 5-15 for failure to maintain the required balance of the account. While this may seem trivial, some banks can charge as much as anywhere between 200 and 500.
While it may not sound like a problem to maintain a minimum balance in your bank account, the trouble starts when you have too many bank accounts to keep track of. Think of all the wage accounts that different employers have opened. Once you leave your job, these may cease to be zero balance accounts and may begin to incur a compounding fee as the balance decreases. Keep track of your account balance or open accounts that do not have this provision to avoid paying this charge.
ATM, debit card and cheques:-Banks are allowed to charge customers for more than five transactions made at ATMs in a month, according to the RBI mandate. Depending on the type of transaction, the charges can differ according to the type of transaction. For example, SBI allows eight free transactions to its regular savings bank account holders, including five at SBI ATMs and three at ATMs from other banks. These account holders earn 10 free transactions in non-metros, including 5 at SBI ATMs and 5 at ATMs from other banks. The regulator also said banks are unable to charge customers for transactions that have failed. When you misplace your wallet, you will be paid a $50-500 repair fee by your bank. When you forget your ATM PIN, it is also likely that you will be charged for each reset.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to avoid paying the fees in full. “Many of these charges are interconnected. For example, some banks, even at their own ATMs, require just three to five free transactions. Then there will be additional annual debit card charges, depending on the type of card and account, to the tune of somewhere between 100-1,500. Even if you want to turn from cash to check, you’d have to pay to issue a chequebook, “Chandani said.RBI does not allow banks to charge more than one hundred and fifty per check for the speed clearing of checks worth more than one lakh; there are no charges for values up to one lakh. Keep in mind that if your check bounces, whether you are the issuer or the depositor, you will also have to pay a fee of somewhere between 100 and 150. You will have to pay a fee again if you give a “stop payment” instruction on a check that you have already issued.
Alerts and instructions:-SMS notifications began as a security feature designed to keep you up to speed with your account transactions. This should assist in the prompt detection of cases of fraud. The safety measure, however, comes at a cost. Banks charge SMS alerts around 15 per cent. Standing instructions given to your bank will make life easier when you automatically make your EMIs and bill payments. But for setting up standing orders, some banks charge a one-time fee and a recurring fee for processing it every time. For example, for setting up a standing instruction, SBI charges a one-time fee of approximately 50.
Documentation:-Banks will charge you for issuing documents as well. “Banks charge between 50 and 150 for issuing duplicate physical passbooks and statements of account. Nonetheless, email statements are not charged, “Chandani said. It is better to keep track of your accounts through net banking. If you need a written statement, take a printed statement yourself and get it certified by the bank. Moreover, some banks even charge for certification. For example, SBI charges 1150 for signature verification.
A day after the former chief minister of Maharashtra and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis slammed a protest in Mumbai in solidarity with JNU students and teachers where a poster ‘ Free Kashmir ‘ was spotted, his former ally Shiv Sena had a different approach to the issue. Speaking to the media, Sena’s Sanjay Raut said the poster said the Valley wanted freedom from internet bans and other restrictions placed on the state prior to the government’s decision to repeal Article 370. J&K faced an unprecedented lockdown when the government of Narendra Modi decided to end the state’s special status and divide it into two territories of the Union — J&K and Ladakh. Yet Raut was quick to add that if the poster indicated that Kashmir was seeking liberty from India, “it won’t be tolerated.”
When asked about Sunday’s violence in JNU, where a masked, armed mob attacked students and teachers left 34 injured, Raut said: “If there’s an ideology struggle, why do you hide your face? Tell us what your philosophy is. “Fadnavis tweeted on Monday:” Protest is for what exactly? Why are’ Free Kashmir ‘ slogans? How can we tolerate such separatist elements in Mumbai? Azadi gang’s’ Free Kashmir ‘ slogans 2 km from CMO? Uddhav Ji, would you tolerate this Free Kashmir Anti-India campaign right under your nose? Hundreds thronged in solidarity with the targeted students and teachers at Mumbai’s India Gateway. The demonstrators were evicted on Tuesday, however, and moved to Azad Maidan to avoid a situation of law and order. Home Minister Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh said the students were working together and the situation was calm. He added that there was only one poster from Kashmir and they looked into the issue.
The district’s rural areas are all set for Tuesday’s elections to Zilla Parishad (ZP) and panchayat Samiti (PS). Counting will be held at 13 tehsil headquarters on Wednesday. The credibility of cabinet ministers Anil Deshmukh and Sunil Kedar and leaders of BJP Nitin Gadkari and Devendra Fadnavis is at stake in view of the current volatile political situation.
There are 58 circles or seats in Nagpur ZP while there are 116 seats in the PS. For the election, there are 1,828 polling booths. 182 centres were designated model centres out of these. During the voting, approximately 14.19 lakh voters are eligible to cast votes between 7.30 am and 5.30 pm. Of the 58 ZP circles, 10 are reserved for SC, 7 for ST and 16 for OBCs, leaving 25 general category seats. Fifty per cent of seats are reserved for women in all these categories. So, for the fairer sex, there are 29 seats. For these seats, there are 270 candidates in the fray, while the PS polls are contested by 497 candidates. For their respective areas, 13 tehsildars were appointed as assistant returning officers (AROs). For 58 circles, a total of 225 zones were created. In total, 2,012 control units and 4,024 ballot units will be used in the election, while, if any, 10 per cent of machines were kept ready to replace defective ones. In these votes, there will be no VVPATs.
For these elections, Congress and the NCP have a pre-poll coalition. Congress contests 42 ZP seats while the NCP contests 16 seats. Candidates for Congress are in 97 PS seats in the fray, while the corresponding NCP figure is 19. Shiv Sena and BJP have a different contest. Apparently, Sena did not nominate its candidates in a couple of seats to support candidates from Congress-NCP. Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) has applied for 20 ZP seats while 13 Prahar candidates are in the fray as well. For these elections, Deshmukh, Kedar, Fadnavis, Gadkari, Sena supporter MLA Ashish Jaiswal and others campaigned extensively. BJP had twenty-one members, Sena eight, Congress 19, NCP seven and smaller parties three before the earlier body was disbanded. With the support of smaller parties, BJP and Sena ruled the bodies. Nonetheless, an alliance is expected this time between Congress, NCP and Sena, and BJP has little chance to retain power.
