Raipur, January 31, 2011
The state capital still stinks and looks filthy in spite of fourfold budget sanctioned for its sanitation. “Scarred litter on public places and choked drains will follow you in everywhere in the city. The sanitary conditions of narrow streets and slum areas are horrible and exposes indifference of the elected body at RMC,” alleged the BJP’s district president Ashok Pandey on Monday.
“In the beginning of her tenure, Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak pretended as if she would turnaround the city and bring cleanliness everywhere. She even visited a couple of wards and had uttered volumes about sanitation, but now she hardly displays same enthusiasm,” Pandey said.
He said Nayak should stop deceiving Raipurians and must take effective action to make the city clean. “Now, people have realised that the previous term of BJP at RMC was better than the existing one ruled by Congress,” he said.
“Nayak lacked control over the civic administration due to which the municipal officials and employees are apathetic towards people’s complaints. This has resulted in burgeoning of several basic civic problems in wards,” he said.
“Besides, the mosquito menace continues to scare residents as corporators are handcuffed and the municipal’s health department has ceased to take any proactive action. The ubiquitous heaping and decomposing garbage and unclean drains can cause adverse effect on people’s health as well on environment. Even the groundwater can get polluted due to insanitation,” Pandey said.
He warned the mayor and the civic administration of aggressive agitation at ward-level in coming days if proper and permanent sanitary arrangements would not be done and people’s grievances would be ignored.

YC stages dharna against Amit Jogi’s arrest
Raipur, January 31, 2011
The state Youth Congress (YC) staged a day-long dharna near Sports Complex Budhapara on Monday against the arrest of YC leader Amit Jogi on January 30, 2011. “We condemn the government’s suppressive measures. Jogi was arrested undemocratically while he was going to Dharamjaigarh to express his objection at public hearing over allotment of coal block to Bharat Aluminum Company Limited (BALCO),” said the former YC president Yogesh Tiwari.
“Corruption and nepotism dominates the Raman Sing-led BJP government. The state’s natural resources are being allocated to those who merely aim to exploit Chhattisgarh,” he said.
“In addition, the government has adopted anti-farmer policies and is selling the agricultural lands to the industrialists to establish power plants and other units. The government is posing generosity towards industrialists and neglecting the farmers who have neither got compensation nor employment. The farmers who dared to demand compensation from the government were thrown in jails,” said Tiwari.
He further alleged that the BJP government was terrorising people by misusing the police as a tool.
On the occasion, Shailesh Nitin Trivedi, Ritesh Tripathy, Indrajeet Singh Rajput, Sunil Kukreja, Kamlesh Mishra, Mohammad Riaz, Surendra Tiwari and other YC workers were present.
BJP demands shifting of Indira’s statue from Kalibadi
Gives memorandum to civic Commissioner with its five-point demand
Raipur, January 31, 2011
The BJP has demanded from the civic administration to shift statue of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from Kalibadi chowk to smoothen the road traffic and to reinstall the idols of several Hindu gods and goddesses whose temples had been demolished at different parts of the city. In this connection, the BJP vice president Sachchidanand Upasne and other party workers took out a rally from Kalibadi chowk to municipal head office at Malviya road where they handed over a memorandum to civic Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary with their five-point demands.
Later, the BJP workers were taken into custody at about 1 pm and then were released at 5 pm.
The BJP’s first demand was - the statue of Indira Gandhi from Kalibadi chowk should be shifted elsewhere like the statues of other great leaders that were shifted at the corner of the busy road intersection to widen the road and improve the traffic. They pointed that the statue of Mahatma Gandhi was shifted inside the garden at Azad chowk and statues of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and martyr Bhagat Singh were shifted at corner at Station chowk and Shankar Nagar respectively.
They further demanded that all the temples that were demolished during municipal’s beautification and road widening projects should be reinstalled elsewhere.
Raising objection over RMC’s demolition works, the BJP demanded proper rehabilitation package for the affected people whose shops or homes had been razed. They said the civic administration should preserve Raipur as was done by the Madhya Pradesh government that instead of carrying out demolition works in old Bhopal preferred to develop new Bhopal.
The BJP also expressed its strong objection over municipal’s action over temples and alleged that the only religious establishments of Hindus were being demolished on pretext of Supreme Court’s directives and structures of other religions were spared. The BJP said the RMC should be impartial while taking action for public convenience.
Sale of illegal liquor from morning till late night in Kota!
RMC alderman alleges blames police administration for inaction
Raipur, January 31, 2011
Kota (Shaheed Manmohan Singh Bakshi ward) has become criminal hum and illegal liquor is being sold in the locality from morning till late nights in spite of several complaints registered in the Saraswati Nagar police station. The municipal’s alderman Pareshwar Bagh from BJP leveled these allegations against the police administration and also held the local corporator Anju Chandrashekhar Tiwari responsible for the pathetic conditions of the ward on Monday.
“It is unfortunate that one Hazarilal Choudhary is selling illegal liquor in Kota’s labour colony near stadium for over 4-5 years, but no action has been taken against him,” Bagh said.
“The illegal liquor shop is about 300 meters away from the residence of local corporator and about one kilometer away from Saraswati Nagar police station, but neither the public representative nor the police heed the grievances of residents,” he said.
He informed the residents of labourers colony start consuming liquor from morning onwards and rarely go at work. “Not only the families of these labourers are suffering, but also the local residents fear of untoward occurrences because of them,” said Bagh.
He informed that the police had closed the illegal liquor shop in the past a couple of times under 34(A) of Excise Act, but Choudhary had managed to restart his illicit business. “Choudhary should be arrested under 34(B) of Excise Act so that he may not get bail, but the police are not filing case against him under this Act,” said Bagh.
He informed that another illegal liquor seller Sanjay Sharma of the area had been arrested three months back. “Sharma was operating his illegal business near primary school but now he is in jail. The police must take similar action against Choudhary,” said Bagh.
He warned that the local residents and his party would stage dharna and launch protest movements against the illegal liquor shop if it would not be closed in one week.
The local corporator Anju Chandrashekhar Tiwari said, “I have lodged several complaints against illegal liquor sellers Hazarilal Choudhary and one Kariya Ashok with the Saraswati Nagar police station but in vain. I have also urged the police to take action against the heavy vehicles of one pipe factory that use the Kota road and pose threat to lives of commuters, especially schoolchildren. I have urged the womenfolk of Kota to join hands and together we will protest till the illegal liquor shop gets closed.”

They said their wards wear a filthy look in spite of municipal’s several sanitation drives. They also sought assurance from Nayak pertaining to supply of sufficient water through tankers if any of the areas of their wards would face water crisis during summer.
Nayak assured that she should solve all the grievances of the Congress corporators in the coming days. She appealed to the corporators to enlist water scarce areas of their wards and give proposals to their respective zone commissioners to solve the problem of water crisis in such parts.
For this, she said, Rs 10 lakh out of Rs 20 lakh sanctioned by the Urban Administration Department for each ward could be used by every corporator in their areas.
In the meeting, the Raipur North legislator Kuldeep Juneja also complained to the DCC president that he had always being ignored by the mayor and her MiC team and had never been invited in the corporators’ meetings.
