For her pro-naxal statement
Raipur, June 05, 2010
Congress leader and staunch supporter of anti-naxal movement salva judum Mahendra Karma has demanded that the Centre and the state government should immediately put the self-proclaimed human activist Arundhati Roy in jail for her pro-naxal public statement. “It is really strange that if a common man will dare to give such comments, the government would quickly put him behind the bars under Public Security Act, but the people like Arundhatis barefacedly display their inclination towards the naxals and overtly challenge the democratic system,” Karma said.
Talking to Central Chronicle on Saturday, he further criticised Arundhati for labeling the ‘gun movement’ launched by the naxals as ‘public movement’. “The mass killings done by the naxals apparently indicates that they do not intend to safeguard the interest of tribals, but they actually wish to rule in an undemocratic manner,” he said.
Karma demanded from the government to take action against all those pro-naxals who are dwelling in the urban areas and were continuously increasing their network to support Maoists.
On salva judum, he said the campaign really put the naxals on back foot. “The Maoists had never anticipated that the tribals would stand against them. This public movement had pulled the attention of the people in the other parts of the country and globe as well, but currently it has slowed down,” Karma added.
When asked about the solution to uproot naxalism from the state, he said, “We will have to jointly take responsibility to save democracy. If we all are peace lovers, then we should unite and increase our strength. I believe that the ultimate solution to put an end on naxal menace is mass movement.”
When asked how effective is the training of jawans in the jungle warfare school based at Kanker, Karma said the dense forests of Bastar could only be accessed if the security personnel would become expert in guerilla war techniques for which they need advance training and more gadgets.
On proposal of Army deployment in the naxal-hit areas, Karma said, “Army is the last option. First we will have to make optimum use of our existing forces that are capable enough, but lack modern combative resources.”

Avoid plastics, use cotton, jute & paper bags: Mayor
Kick-starts anti-plastic drive for 2010-11
RMC takes out 2000 sacks poly waste from different wards
Raipur, June 05, 2010
Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak said that the real substitute of plastic bags can be cotton, jute or paper bags which are not only easy to carry, but also environment friendly. Nayak expressed these words after she kick-started the massive anti-plastic drive for 2010-11 at Shastri Bazar on the occasion of World Environment Day on Saturday morning. This campaign would be carried out under the joint aegis of the RMC and Chhattisgarh Jankalyan Samiti.
Later, Nayak distributed cotton, jute and paper bags to vegetable vendors as well as buyers in the Shastri Bazar and urged them to help saving the environment by not using plastics in their routine life.
Nayak has appealed to all the social welfare organisations, NGOs, self help groups, businesspersons and schoolchildren to support the anti-plastic drive and contribute in making the city clean and green.
Hailing the municipal’s initiatives, the vegetable buyers opined that considering rising pollution in the capital and the onslaught of the plastic that was choking the lanes, drains and nullahs of every ward, the government must ban the use of plastic bags in markets. They, however, said first the government should chalk out some effective plan that must comprise other income sources for the plastic vendors and industries. In addition, they also believe that public the state-wide awareness campaign pertaining to harmful affects of plastics would procure better results.
Later, Nayak reached indoor stadium where the municipal’s Health department had kept for display about 2000 sacks polythene waste taken out from different wards of the city. Nayak said burnt polythene emits poisonous gas that affects people’s health. She further said that people should also avoid using plastic plates, bowls and glasses and must use such items made of paper.
On the occasion, Nayak was accompanied by Raipur (North) legislator Kuldeep Juneja, RMC Speaker Sanjay Shrivastava, leader of BJP corporators, MiC members and corporators who, too, urged people to save the nation by using eco-friendly products, especially in their daily routine to reduce pollution.
