The RMC will soon launch awareness campaign to prevent occurrence of contagious diseases like jaundice and diarrhoea in summer. The Kalibadi isolation centre will be the control room and the Zone Commissioners will be the nodal officers for the campaign.
The RMC Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary informed that the municipal staff will distribute bleaching powder in each ward and the Water Works department would collect the sample of water from different locations on regular basis. Similarly, the municipal is sending tankers in the water hit areas, he said.
To ensure that the people get fresh food and vegetables, all the health and sanitation staffers will frequently check the quality of eatables being sold at vegetable market, hotels, restaurants, ice-cream and juice centres, bakeries and chicken and mutton shops. For this, the officials will conduct sudden inspections in their respective zones. The officials have also been instructed to take samples of food materials and test them in the laboratories.
The RMC will also fill the stock of medicines in its dispensaries including Kalibadi isolation centre. The municipal will also organise health camps in the disease-prone areas and would also provide mobile medical facility in emergency cases.
Choudhary informed that all the drains and nullahs would be cleaned through special sanitation gangs and fogging would be done in each ward. The RMC will also launch anti-larva campaign under which it will release gambusia (mosquitofish) in ponds. The RMC health officials will also reach each house to collect the blood slides of malaria patients for which each Aanganbadi centre has been made depot and Aanganbadi workers will be depot holders.
Bandre demands closure of bar near Shastri Bazar
Raipur, April 16, 2010
The BJP corporator Sunil Bandre from Babu Jagjeevan Ram ward has demanded closure of bar located in the first floor of Vijeta Complex near Shastri Bazar. “The area contains city’s biggest vegetable market and is surrounded by mazars and mosques. It is also a commercial spot owing to which the movement of people, especially women and girls, is more. Considering this, the RMC as well as the district administration should prevent the opening of any liquor shop or bar in this location and must close the existing ones,” he said.
Notably, the RMC had sealed two liquor shops including the one at Vijeta Complex on April 5. The municipal had given shop number 19 in the ground floor of Vijeta Complex to one Rajkumar Leela Ram on lease but he violated the norms and rented the shop to the liquor contractor Amolak Singh Bhatia without taking permission from the civic authorities. When RMC Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary learnt about this, he cancelled the lease deed of the shop on March 25, 2010 and asked Bhatia to vacate the shop, but the later did not buckle down and finally the shop was sealed in presence of Bandre and Mayor-in-Council member Afroz Anjum.
Now Bandre has objected existence of bar in the area. He has alleged that the RMC administration was adopting double standards in taking action against the violators of municipal norms. “When liquor shop can be closed, why not bar?” he asked. Bandre informed that the lease holder of the shop where bar is being operated was one Alka Bagde.
“The lease holder has not only rented the shop to the bar owner illegally, but has also not paid municipal taxes to the tune of Rs 80,000. The Revenue officials say they would recover the tax later because they are engaged in enumeration for Census 2011. The RMC had served one-month notice to Bagde and asked her to produce documents regarding permission to open the bar in the shop on March 17, 2010, but she has ignored the directive. In this scenario, the bar should be vacated on April 17,” he said.
Bandre further informed that the liquor contractor Bhatia was planning to reopen the liquor shop in the same ward but in different place, somewhere near Amardeep talkies.
“We will not allow Bhatia to open the shop in any new locality. We will meet Collector Sanjay Garg and give him a memorandum demanding closure of the existing bar and to ban opening of any liquor shop or bar in our area in future,” he said.
Bandre informed that besides the sealed liquor shop at Vijeta complex, Bhatia also owned two more shops - one that had been recently opened in front of old Bus Stand and the other at Tatya Para. “Since both the locations are close to Shastri Bazar, there is no need to open new shop near Amardeep talkies,” he said.
Shastri Bazar Vyapari Mahasangh and residents of Baijnathpara and Baanstal who are staging dharna against liquor shop for the past 15 days gave a memorandum to RMC Commissioner on Friday demanding not to allow reopening of liquor shop near Amardeep Talkies.
