नागपूर : शहरात साडेतीन महिन्यांत ४५० कोरोनाबाधित होते, तर ११ जणांचा मृत्यू झाला. लॉकडाऊनमध्ये शिथिलता मिळाल्यानंतर दोन हजार बाधित झाले, तर ३८ जणांचा मृत्यू झाला. सामान्य जीवन जगण्याची मुभा दिली, परंतु कोविड-१९ च्या नियमांचे पालन होताना दिसत नाही.
वागणूक व सवयी बदलाव्या लागतील, नवीन जीवनपद्धती स्वीकारावी लागेल. अन्यथा कर्फ्यूसह लॉकडाऊन लागू करावा लागेल. यात जीवनावश्यक वस्तूही मिळणार नाही, असे इशारावजा आवाहन मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी गुरुवारी फेसबुक लाईव्हच्या माध्यमातून केले. दुकानात पाचहून अधिक लोकांना मनाई आहे. परंतु २० ते २५ लोक दिसतात. नियम पाळावेत म्हणून दुकानदारांना १० हजारापर्यंत दंड केला. यात सुधारणा झाली नाही तर ५० हजार ते १ लाखापर्यंत दंड केला जाईल, असे आवाहन तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी केले.
कर्फ्यू लावण्यापूर्वी शंभरवेळा विचार करा : महापौर
मध्यमवर्गीय दुकानदारांची परिस्थिती बिकट आहे. याचा विचार करता नागपूर शहरात कर्फ्यू, लॉकडाऊन लागू होण्यापूर्वी मनपा आयुक्तांनी शंभरवेळा विचार करावा, अशी विनंती महापौर संदीप जोशी यांनी केली आहे.
नागपूर : तीन ते चार महिन्याचे भरमसाट वीजबिल एकाच वेळी पाठवण्यात आल्याने ते कसे भरणार, अशी चिंता लोकांना लागली आहे. बिलाबाबतही लोकांमध्ये संशय असून नागरिकांमध्ये खदखद आहे. यासाठी दररोज महावितरणच्या कार्यालयात लोकांची गर्दी होत आहे. यातच एका ग्राहकाने कसेतरी तीन महिन्याचे वीज बिल एकाचवेळी भरले. परंतु महिनाभरातच त्यांना तेच बिल पुन्हा पाठवण्यात आले आहे. यावरून महावितरणचा भोंंगळ कारभार चव्हाट्यावर आला आहे. या प्रकारामुळे वीज ग्राहकाला मात्र धक्का बसला आहे.
लॉकडाऊनच्या काळातील मार्चपासूनचे वीज बिल एकाचवेळी लोकांना पाठवले जात आहे. त्यामुळे त्याची रक्कम प्रचंड वाढलेली आहे. वीज बिल मागे घेण्याबाबतही लोक आंदोलन करीत आहेत. असे असले तरी वीजबिल भरणाऱ्यांची संख्याही कमी नाही. सरकारने हप्त्याने बिल भरण्याची सवलत दिली असली तरी तीन महिन्याचे बिल एकाचवेळी भरणाऱ्यांची संख्याही कमी नाही. एलआयजी कॉलनी सुपर स्पेशालिटी हॉस्पिटलसमोर राहणाºया शालिनी डांगे यांनीही त्यांचे वीज बिल एकाचवेळी भरले. चरणदास डोमाजी डांगे यांच्या नावाने वीज मीटर आहे. ४१००१०३७००३९ असा त्यांचा ग्राहक क्रमांक आहे. त्यांनाही इतरांप्रमाणेच मागच्या महिन्यात तीन महिन्याचे वीज बिल पाठविण्यात आले. तीन महिन्याचे वीज बिल ४०९० रुपये इतके आले. ८ जुलै ही बिल भरण्याची शेवटची तारीख होती. डांगे यांनी २४ जून रोजीच संपूर्ण बिल भरले. यानंतर बुधवारी २२ जुलै रोजी त्यांना पुन्हा तीन महिन्याचे भरलेले बिल परत पाठविण्यात आले. बिल पाहून त्यांना धक्काच बसला. जुलै महिन्याचे नवीन बिल येण्याऐवजी मागच्या महिन्याचे बिल जसेच्या तसेच पाठविण्यात आले आहे.
भरण्याची शेवटची तारीख ८ जुलै, बिल पाठविले २२ तारखेला
हे बिल म्हणजे महावितरणच्या भोंगळ कारभाराचे सर्वात मोठे उदाहरण आहे. सर्वात अगोदर तर बिल भरल्यानंतर तेच बिल पुन्हा ग्राहकाला यायलाच नको होते. दुसरे म्हणजे बिलामध्ये बिल भरण्याची शेवटची तारीख ८ जुलै ही स्पष्टपणे नमूद आहे, तेच बिल २२ जुलै रोजी पाठवण्यात आले आहे.
The Supreme Court Wednesday said it would hear after two weeks the applications which have raised issues relating to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The advocates appearing for cricket associations of Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh told the bench that they have filed applications in the matter and they should be listed for hearing.
“I am appearing for Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. We have filed an IA which is not listed today. So, kindly direct that our IA be listed for hearing in the court,” senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, told the bench.
Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association, also said that application filed by them has not been listed.
The bench said these applications would be taken up for hearing after two weeks.
Recently, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has also moved the top court seeking modification of its 2016 order and to enable it to annually or biennially undertake financial, compliance and performance audit of the BCCI and state cricket associations.
The CAG, in its application, has sought modification of the July 18, 2016 order by which the apex court had accepted the recommendations of Justice R M Lodha committee, including the one regarding inclusion of a nominee of the CAG in the apex council of the BCCI and also in the governing council of Indian Premier League (IPL).
It has said that out of the 35 state cricket associations, only 18 have requested nominations till date and these have been made by the CAG while the remaining 17 are yet to approach the nominating officers.
Seeking reconsideration of the apex court’s 2016 directive, the CAG has given suggestions in the application “to ensure better redressal of concerns of the court and also to ensure more effective implementation of the recommendations of Justice Lodha committee.”
It has said that being the supreme audit institution of India, the CAG’s specialization is audit.
“Therefore, the CAG may be considered for intervention in the affairs of BCCI/state cricket associations only for the purpose of audit – either as a routine e.g. annual, biennial etc or as and when directed by this court,” it said.
In its July 18, 2016 order, the apex court had agreed with Justice Lodha committee’s recommendation to include a nominee of CAG as a member of BCCI, saying it would bring in transparency and financial oversight into the affairs of the national governing body for cricket.
While upholding the recommendations of the panel, the apex court had brushed aside the objection of BCCI that inclusion of these officials at the state level and in the national cricket governing body would amount to government interference leading to its de-recognition by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The Lodha committee was constituted in January 2015 by the apex court to examine and make suitable recommendations for effective working of BCCI and state cricket associations.
The IPL broadcaster is toying with the idea of introducing “virtual commentary” in the upcoming franchise-based league after being emboldened by its successful recent experiment in an exhibition match.
For a live game at Centurion Park in South Africa on Sunday, Irfan Pathan was doing commentary from his Baroda home, Deep Dasgupta from Kolkata and Sanjay Manjrekar from his Mumbai residence.
Being able to commentate from his home for a game taking place thousand of kilometres away, former India all-rounder Pathan called the experience nothing short of “magical”.
In a world that is changing everyday due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IPL broadcaster Star Sports has experimented with virtual commentary for a 36-over exhibition game featuring three teams at Centurion Park.
It was not just the commentators as the crew also logged in from all parts of the country with the director sitting in Mysore.
The experiment was fairly successful, notwithstanding a few teething issues. It could be a regular feature in the upcoming IPL, if not for the main feeds in Hindi and English, at least for growing regional feeds like Tamil, Telugu and Kannada to start with.
“It was an extraordinary experience though we were worried throughout because the internet speed can fluctuate and that affects the voice quality. Anything can happen anytime in live cricket and with technology not fully in your control, it can be tricky but Star did a wonderful job,” Pathan told PTI.
“Though this was an exhibition game, everyone took it very seriously as they all wanted the show to resume (after months of break).
“Star is usually very thorough with its planning and execution but commentary from home in the IPL will be a massive challenge,” said the former pacer, who had to lock himself in a room to not get distracted on the job while his son knocked on the door from time to time.
The idea of commentary from home was created out of necessity amid the current COVID-19 situation, ensuring not just safety of the commentators but also cost effectiveness.
Pathan feels there is no substitute to commentary from the ground but part of the panel commentating from a remote production facility in Mumbai during the IPL is not new and is something that was implemented successfully last year.
The broadcaster produces as many as 10 feeds for the IPL with Hindi accounting for two-third of the overall viewership.
A broadcaster industry expert told PTI that commentary from “anywhere in the world” can be a regular feature going forward.
“Remote production has evolved a lot, and technology has enabled it to be to be at par with on site production if not better. Commentary from home is a step forward in that regard and that way anyone can log in from anywhere. It opens up to the world to you.
“Being on the ground is important but when you have a production in place where the commentator could see everything that he would see from the ground, at times with as many as 25 camera angles at his disposal, he can even see more than he would normally see at the ground,” the expert argued.
For the 3TC Solidarity Cup in South Africa, there was no option but to commentate from home. Considering the internet connectivity is not the best in India, all commentators had their internet speed upgraded from 5 mbps to 20 mbps, which is a minimum requirement for live production.
It is much easier to be in sync when you are sitting next to each other while commentating and creating the same chemistry was a challenge from home during IPL, said Pathan.
“We rehearsed it a day before the game just to test internet quality. We had screens put but we could not see each at all times, so when to pause and when to start talking was a challenge but we pulled it off.
“At times, there was delay in the feed, so there could be overlapping in that scenario. Overall, we did alright but when you are on the ground, it takes your commentary to the next level.
“Commentary is not just about the game anymore, it is all about the cricketers. There is so much detailing and analysis nowadays. Commentary from home is surely an option but not sure how often we can use it during IPL,” added Pathan.
A 66-year-old man and his wife (60) died of Covid-19 within an hour of each other in Nagpur on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday.
Their 39-year-old son, who also tested positive, has been hospitalised.
On Wednesday, their 33-year-old daughter-in-law, and 14-year-old grand-daughter also tested positive, and both have been quarantined. The only member in the family to have tested negative is their four-year-old grandson.
On Monday, the 66-year old man started feeling uneasy. He was taken to a private hospital, where his condition kept deteriorating. He underwent a Covid-19 test, which was positive. His wife and son were also tested.
“Late at night, his wife also started feeling uneasy but before she could be shifted to the hospital, she died. About 15-20 minutes after her death, the family got a call from the private hospital, who told them the 66-year old man had also died,” said senior BJP leader and family friend Chotu Bhoyar.
Bhoyar added, “Around 3.30 am on Tuesday, the reports of mother-son duo also came positive. So, we admitted the son to the Government Medical College and Hospital. The couple’s funeral had to be conducted by municipal staffers on Tuesday afternoon.”
Bhoyar said both the deceased were severely hypertensive and diabetic.
Subsequently, all the families in the apartment scheme where the family lives were also tested, and one person, who tested positive, had to be hospitalised.
“The couple’s son is asymptomatic and is under treatment at GMCH. His four-year old son tested negative, but his 14-year old daughter and 33-year old wife have tested positive and have been quarantined,” Bhoyar said.
Bhoyar accused the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) of “complete mismanagement” of the crisis, saying, “After the woman’s death, they didn’t even wrap her body for many hours. The other person from the apartment scheme had to wait for four hours before he could get a bed in GMCH.”
The number of Covid-19 cases in Nagpur has been growing at a fast rate, with 144 and 122 cases reported on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. The district saw six deaths due to Covid-19 on Tuesday and one on Wednesday, taking the death toll to 61. The total number of cases has reached 3,293.
Municipal Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has warned that he might impose another 15-day lockdown in the city.
Despite a rising number of COVID-19 cases, governments across the world have begun working towards easing border restrictions to kick-start international travel in hopes of reviving the coronavirus-hit tourism industry.
Many countries are partnering to form exclusive travel ‘bubbles’ or ‘corridors’ in order to strategically reopen borders for tourists amidst the pandemic. Countries like the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Estonia, and Lithuania have all lifted restrictions for international travellers visiting from a few select nations.
Earlier this month, the European Union announced that it would soon be reopening its borders for tourists visiting from 15 countries outside the bloc. Algeria, Canada, Japan, Rwanda, Serbia, and South Korea were all included in the list.
However, in the midst of an unprecedented epidemiological crisis, tourists worldwide are reluctant to go abroad as the health risks associated with international travel appear to far outweigh the benefits of a leisurely summer vacation. To encourage tourists to set aside their fears and embark on both foreign and domestic travel, popular tourism destinations from around the world have introduced a host of incentives like discounts on flights and hotel stays, travel vouchers and even full refunds in case of a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Here are some countries, which have incentivised foreign travel for tourists:
Uzbekistan: The Uzbekistan government has promised to pay $3,000 to any tourist who contracts COVID-19 while visiting the country. The amount will cover the entire cost of medical treatment, and is part of a larger government strategy to welcome visitors back to the country.
“We want to reassure tourists they can come to Uzbekistan,” Uzbekistan’s tourism minister to the UK Sophie Ibbotson said in a statement. “The government is so confident that the new safety and hygiene measures being implemented across the tourism sector will protect tourists from Covid-19, that the president is prepared to put money where his mouth is.”
International travel to Uzbekistan from low-risk countries like China, Japan and South Korea is set to commence later this month.
Italy: In April, the southern Italian island of Sicily announced that it would cover half of flight costs and a third of hotel expenses for travellers planning to visit the scenic destination. It also offered free tickets to visit museums and archaeological sites.
Italy was one of the first countries in Europe to experience the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in February, this year. With over 35,000 deaths, it reported one of the highest tolls in the world. Due to the global health crisis, Sicily reportedly lost over 1 billion euros in tourism-related revenue.
Japan: Japan has launched its ambition “Go To” campaign to boost domestic travel after the pandemic crippled the country’s otherwise thriving tourism industry. The campaign provides subsidies of up to 50 per cent on all domestic travel spending — including, travel costs, accommodation, visiting tourist attractions and shopping within Japan.
The “Go To” campaign, which was officially launched on Wednesday, is expected to continue in the country till spring 2021. Due to a steadily rising number of coronavirus cases in the city, Tokyo has been excluded from the programme. Residents of Japan’s capital and those who wish to visit the city will not be able to avail of the government’s travel subsidies.
Mexico: In southeast Mexico’s Cancun, tourists can avail of two free nights of accommodation for every two nights they pay for as part of the ‘Come to Cancun 2×1’ campaign. Travellers will also receive a refund for one additional plane ticket, to encourage them to bring a companion for their beach vacation.
According to the Association of Hotels in Cancun, Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres, foreign tourists who are planning a holiday to Mexico can participate in a number of social media contests through which they stand the chance to win lifetime travel certificates to visit Cancun.
Cyprus: The Mediterranean country of Cyprus has vowed to cover the entire cost of accommodation, food, drink and medication for all tourists who test positive for COVID-19 while visiting the island nation.
“The traveler will only need to bear the cost of their airport transfer and repatriation flight, in collaboration with their agent and/or airline,” the Cypriot government announced in a statement released in May. The cost for their co-travellers will also be covered entirely, the government said. The country has also set up a 100-bed hospital exclusively for travellers who contract the illness while on vacation.
Greece: Greece is luring foreign tourists by slashing taxes on flight tickets. After effectively mitigating the impact of the pandemic, the country cut the Value Added Tax (VAT) on all modes of transport from 24% to 13%.
“The tourism period begins on 15 June, when seasonal hotels can reopen. Let us make this summer the epilogue of the (COVID-19) crisis,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced. “We will win the economy war just as we won the health battle.”
On July 1, 235 flights carrying tourists from across the world touched down in Greece’s international airports for the first time since the pandemic began.
Other countries have also introduced incentives to encourage tourism. The Portugal government has announced that foreign travellers will be tested for free upon arrival. Meanwhile in Bulgaria, tourists will no longer have to pay to access loungers, umbrellas, or tables while sunbathing on the beach.

नागपूर : कोरोनाचा संसर्ग वाढू नये यासाठी नागरिकांना वारंवार आवाहन केले जात आहे. मात्र या आवाहनाला अपेक्षेप्रमाणे शहरातील व्यापारी आणि नागरिकांकडून प्रतिसाद मिळत नाही. दुकानदारांकडून सम आणि विषम तारखांचे पालन न करणे, मास्कचा वापर न करणे, दुकानांमध्ये गर्दी होउ देणे अशी बेजबाबदार वागणूकच शहरात पुन्हा एकदा लॉकडाउन लावण्यासाठी कारणीभूत ठरणार आहे, असा सूचक इशारा महापौर संदीप जोशी यांनी दिला.

India will have to undergo a two-week quarantine period, most likely in Adelaide, once they touch down in Australia for the much-anticipated tour later this year, said Cricket Australia acting chief Nick Hockley.
Hockley’s statement is in complete contrast to the views of BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who had already made it clear that he was not in favour of a two-week quarantine period for the Indian team once they disembark in Australia.
Following the official postponement of this year’s T20 World Cup in Australia, Hockley said all the players and support staff will be provided with the best of the facilities to train within quarantine rules.
“The two-week quarantine is pretty well-defined. What we are working on is making sure that even within that quarantine environment, the players have got the absolute best training facilities, so that their preparation for the matches is as optimal as it can possibly be,” Hockley was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
“We’ll obviously take the guidance of the health experts and the authorities. Whether it’s a hotel on-site or hotels in close proximity to venues, it’s certainly about creating that environment where we are minimising risk of infections and creating a bio-secure environment is the absolute priority.”
The website reported that not just the visiting Indian team but also the IPL-returned Australian cricketers will have to serve the mandatory quarantine period.
The current series between England and West Indies, which has marked resumption of international cricket, is being played in a bio-secure environment with the teams’ accommodation arranged on-site.
“There’s a huge amount at stake if we are unable to do that. Certainly the fact that the Adelaide Oval has a hotel…it does provide a facility not dissimilar to Old Trafford or Ageas Bowl where the hotels are integrated into venue,” said Hockley.
In these circumstances, the Adelaide Oval and its newly constructed hotel, built on the ground’s eastern side, is considered as the best place for creating a bio-bubble.
But Hockley said with a rapid spike in COVID-19 cases in the Indian sub-continent leading to travel restrictions, the team india will have to follow all the protocols laid down by the Australian government and the ICC.
“It’s widely known and it’s unlikely that international travel restrictions would have lifted by the time that India will be due to come into the country,” he said.
“Clearly there will be testing regimes. We will be able to test people before that they get on to the plane and it is the nature of the situation of making sure we have the quarantine arrangements in line with government and health authority protocols.
“The key thing for the players is that there’s regular testing and that we appropriately quarantine them when they come in and all of those plans are currently in development.”
Now that that T20 World Cup is postponed, the BCCI is in all likelihood will hold the postponed IPL during the vacant September-November window, in all probability in the UAE.
“I think the BCCI have made no secrets that they are considering what that means for the IPL,” Hockley said.
“For us it’s about getting a bit of an understanding and certainty around what that means. Clearly in a normal course, some of our best players are obviously top picks for those IPL teams.
“It’s a bit premature to speculate on that. We need to understand what the plans are if any and once we understand that we will make decisions accordingly.”
The state government on Monday announced the ‘Digital Stree Shakti’ programme that will be launched by Women and Child Development Minister Yashomati Thakur on Tuesday.
As part of the programme, undertaken by the State Human Rights Commission and Responsible Netism – a non-profit organisation promoting cyber wellness and responsible online behaviour – 5,000 women college students from 10 cities, including Mumbai, will be imparted training and guidance about cyber security through webinars.
In a statement released on Monday, the government said the programme had been initiated keeping in mind the increase in mobile and Internet usage and the rising number of cyber crimes against women.

Amid the letter war between former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, one of the persons purportedly talking of “honey-trapping” senior BJP leaders in the controversial audio tape that has rocked the city’s political circles was arrested on Sunday.
According to a press note issued by the Crime Branch, however, the arrest was made in a different case — Sayyad has a few other cases registered against him, it said. Deputy Commissioner of Police Nilesh Bharne said, “Sunday’s arrest is in a property grabbing case. Sayyad has four offences, including rioting in a hospital, against his name.”
Asked if he would be arrested in the audio tape case too, Bharne said, “It relates to defamation. We will question him about that too.”
Sayyad was allegedly talking to another person in the audio tape about a plan to honey-trap city Mayor Sandeep Joshi and senior corporator Dayashankar Tiwari. The tape has led to several rounds of allegations and counter-allegations between the BJP and Deshmukh.
First, Fadnavis had written a letter to Deshmukh seeking a probe into the matter. Deshmukh had later written to Fadnavis saying that Sayyad was a BJP worker and the “honey-trap” plan was a result of BJP’s internal dispute. Deshmukh had also alleged that Sayyad had business relations with former BJP minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule and former BJP MLA Sudhakar Deshmukh. Both had strongly rebutted the claim and had sought Deshmukh’s apology.
Fadnavis had retaliated saying Sayyad has been seen in photographs with NCP leaders Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar and even with Deshmukh himself. He had alleged that Deshmukh precluding the audio to be a result of BJP’s internal dispute was pre-judicial to the probe and he would be constrained to move the Chief Justice and Registrar of Bombay High Court if fair probe wasn’t conducted into the case.
On Sunday, Deshmukh wrote back saying, “I haven’t met this person (Sayyad) in the last five years. So, your allegation has pained me a lot. Such opportunist persons don’t belong to any party. This you have yourself said in your second letter and yet you have given this issue a political colour.”
Deshmukh further says, “You said you would move the CJ of Bombay HC. A probe is already underway. If you don’t have any faith in it, I am ready to get it done by any senior police officer of your choice from the state.”
He is one of India’s most promising middle-distance runners but he may now have to give up athletics to support his family of six. She is an Asian youth gold-winning long-jumper but wants to take a break to help her father, an autorickshaw driver. He is an Asian youth bronze medallist but fears that he will end up selling bananas on a cart in the market.
The COVID shutdown in sports, with no training for months, is beginning to wear down the country’s young athletes, many of whom are from underprivileged families without organisational support.
“Attendance has dropped drastically. We have many talented students who can’t make it to the ground because they don’t have a vehicle or can’t afford bus fare. Many might quit,” warns coach Purshotam who trains some of Delhi’s top junior athletes for free.
Purshotam’s trainees include Meraj Ali, 19, who represented India at the Asian Youth Meet in 2017. Living in a one-room rented home in East Delhi’s Trilokpuri, Ali says his family of six, including two teenage sisters and an elder brother, has been struggling to cope with the economic distress.
With his brother having been laid-off by an app-based cab operator last month and the earnings of his deaf-mute father, a daily wage labourer, not enough to run the kitchen, the 1500m specialist says his racing days might be over.
“My father had to get a kidney removed last December. He needs rest but has to work to feed us. If things don’t improve, I will have to join him and that would be the end of my athletics dream… We have stopped having tea at home, even milk is a luxury we can’t afford,” he says.
In Chennai, long-jumper Thabitha Philip Maheswaran, a double gold-medallist at the 2019 Asian Youth Athletics Championships in Bangkok, is contemplating a “break” to support her family. “We barely scraped by during the lockdown. An NGO supports me but they have cut the allowance drastically due to shortage of funds. My father drives an auto rickshaw and is the sole breadwinner of the family. But he was home during the lockdown and it was difficult to even get three meals a day,” Thabitha says.
Lokesh Kumar, the 2019 U-14 Delhi middle-distance champion, who has to change three buses to reach the training ground, is now worried about putting food on the table. “My father is a rickshaw-puller and my mother works as a domestic help. They don’t get regular work these days. During the lockdown, we didn’t have food so we used to drink warm water and go to bed,” he says.
Bronze medallist at the 2019 Asian Youth Athletics Championships, Ali Ansari, has been forced to take over his father’s fruit cart in Mahipalpur on the edge of Delhi. “My father had no work during the lockdown and business is at an all-time low. I am the eldest son and I have to support my family. I have a feeling that I’ll now end up becoming a kela wala (banana seller),” says the 19-year-old.
Then there’s Harendra Kumar, the 1500m national youth champion last year, who may have to start working in the farms back home in UP. “I don’t know for how long I can live in Delhi,” he says.
Harendra lives with his coach Vipin Kumar, who has been training athletes from an economically weaker background. “My mother called me yesterday and said her knees are hurting from working in the fields. I feel so helpless and sad. I cannot continue like this, without training. One more call from my mother and I will quit,” he says.
Athletes by day, daily wagers by eve
Trilok Kumar,19, has been moon-lighting as an auto-driver to keep fund his athletics dreams. The Delhi state medalist leaves for training at 4:30 am, wearing his kit under the uniform. During the lockdown, with no source of income, he has survived on the free ration distributed by the state government.
“I have to pay rent for the auto whether I ride it or not. I carry my kit along in the auto and whenever I drop someone near a park, I just go in and practice. I don’t want this to be my fate. I don’t want to end up becoming an auto driver for good. I want to train harder and achieve something in sports. It is getting difficult for me to sustain my athletic career,” Trilok says.
Among the hardest hit is Meraj Ali’s training partner, Rahul, the 2018 Delhi 10,000m silver medallist. The 22-year-old lost his father when he was four and has been working night shifts at the Delhi Milk Scheme facility as a crate loader for the last nine years. His work starts at around 11 pm and goes on till 4 am when he completes his quota of filling 1,100 crates with milk packets from a freezing cold storage room.
“I didn’t take up a day job because I have college and training. My body hurts in the morning after all this work but I have to push myself to get up and train after just two hours of sleep. If I don’t work, I can’t pay rent or even manage my bus fare to the training ground. Since the virus outbreak, my duty days have been almost halved and so has my salary. If I can’t reach the ground, how will I continue training?” he asks.
आत्मनिर्भर भारत योजनेविषयी माहिती देताना अर्थमंत्री निर्मला सीतारमन यांनी किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड म्हणजेच केसीसीचा उल्लेख केला आणि शेतकरी वर्गात किसान क्रेडिट कार्डविषयीची चर्चा सुरू झाली.
निर्मला सीतारमन यांनी म्हटलं, की “पीएम किसान योजनेचे 9 कोटी लाभार्थी आहेत आणि त्यापैकी अडीच कोटी शेतकऱ्यांकडे केसीसी नाहीये. आता आम्ही त्यांच्यापर्यंत पोहोचून त्यांना केसीसी आणि त्याद्वारे 2 लाख कोटी रुपयांचं कर्ज वाटप करणार आहोत.”
आता आपण किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड म्हणजे काय, ते कसं मिळवायचं आणि त्याचा उपयोग काय, याविषयीची सविस्तर माहिती आता आपण जाणून घेऊ.
सुरुवातीला पाहूया किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड काय आहे ते. किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड म्हणजे काय?
किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड म्हणजेच केसीसी ही एक योजना आहे, जिचा उद्देश शेतकऱ्यांना शेतीसंबंधीच्या कामासाठी आर्थिक मदत करणं हा आहे. केसीसीच्या माध्यमातून शेतकऱ्यांना बी-बियाणे, खतं, कीटकनाशकं इ. शेतीच्या कामांसाठी कर्ज दिलं जातं.
केसीसीसाठी सगळेच शेतकरी अर्ज करू शकतात. यामध्ये स्वत:च्या मालकीची जमीन असणारे, इतरांची जमीन भाडेतत्वावर करणाऱ्या शेतकऱ्यांचा समावेश होतो.
याशिवाय 2018-19च्या अर्थसंकल्पीय अधिवेशनादरम्यान पशुपालन (शेळीपालन, मेंढीपालन कुक्कुटपालन इ.) आणि मत्स्यपालन (animal husbandry and fisheries) करणाऱ्या शेतकऱ्यांनाही या योजनेचा लाभ देण्याचं निश्चित करण्यात आलं.
KCC साठी अर्ज कसा करायचा?
फेब्रुवारी 2019मध्ये भारत सरकारनं एक परिपत्रक काढलं. त्यानुसार देशात 6.95 कोटी शेतकरी केसीसी वापरत असल्याचं सांगण्यात आलं. असं असलं तरी मोठ्या प्रमाणावर शेतकरी केसीसी आणि पर्यायी त्याद्वारे मिळणाऱ्या कृषी कर्जापासून वंचित राहत असल्याचं सरकारच्या निर्दशनास आलं.
त्यामुळे मग अधिकाधिक शेतकऱ्यांना केसीसी उपलब्ध करून देण्याकरता सरकारनं फेब्रुवारी 2020मध्ये पंतप्रधान किसान सन्मान निधीच्या सगळ्या लाभार्थ्यांचा केसीसी योजनेत समावेश करण्याची मोहीम हाती घेतली.
या मोहिमेचा भाग म्हणून सरकारनं पीएम-किसान योजनेच्या वेबसाईटवरच किसान क्रेडिट कार्डसाठीचा अर्ज उपलब्ध करून दिला.
हा अर्ज डाऊनलोड करण्यासाठी सर्वप्रथम गुगलवर PM Kisan असं टाईप केलं की तुमच्यासमोर पंतप्रधान किसान सन्मान निधीची वेबसाईट ओपन होईल. या वेबसाईटवर उजव्या कोपऱ्यात Download KCC Form हा पर्याय तुम्हाला दिसेल. त्यावर क्लिक केल्यास क्रेडिट कार्डसाठीचा अर्ज तुमच्यासमोर ओपन होईल.
इथं तुम्ही हा क्रेडिट किसान कार्डसाठीचा एक पानी अर्ज पाहू शकता.
“Loan application form for agricultural credit for PM-KISAN beneficiaries” म्हणजेच पीएम-किसान योजनेच्या लाभार्थ्यांसाठी कृषी कर्जासाठीचा अर्ज असं या अर्जाचं शीर्षक आहे.
आता हा अर्ज कसा भरायचा त्याविषयीची माहिती पाहूया.
सगळ्यात वरती टू ब्रँच मॅनेजर आहे, त्याखाली बँकेचं नाव आणि शाखेचं नाव टाकायचं आहे.
त्यानंतर अर्जातील A या भागासमोर “फॉर ऑफिस यूझ” लिहिलं आहे. या भागातील माहिती बँक भरणार आहे. शेतकऱ्यांनी यात काहीही माहिती भरणं अपेक्षित नाही.
B या भागात तुम्हाला कोणत्या प्रकारचं केसीसी हवं जसं की (नवीन केसीसी, जुनं केसीसी पण त्याची कर्ज मर्यादा वाढवायची आहे, काही कारणानं केसीसी बंद पडलं असेल, तर पुन्हा सुरू करणं) याची माहिती भरावयाची आहे. आणि त्याखाली किती रुपयांचं कर्ज हवं ते लिहायचं आहे.
त्यानंतर C या भागात अर्जदाराचं नाव, पीएम-किसान सन्मान योजनेचे पैसे ज्या बँक खात्यात जमा होतात, तो खाते क्रमांक आणि जर का तुम्हाला प्रधानमंत्री सुरक्षा बिमा योजना आणि प्रधानमंत्री जीवन ज्योती बिमा योजनेअंतर्गत इन्शुरन्स घ्यावयाचा असल्यास त्यासमोरच्या YES या पर्यायावर टिक करायचं आहे.
किसान क्रेडिट कार्डसाठीचा फॉर्म
पण, इथं एक गोष्ट लक्षात घेणं गरजेचं आहे, ती म्हणजे तुम्ही YES म्हटलं, तर दरवर्षी प्रधानमंत्री सुरक्षा बिमा योजनेसाठी 12 रुपये आणि प्रधानमंत्री जीवन ज्योती बिमा योजनेसाठी 330 रुपये म्हणजे एकूण 342 रुपये तुमच्या खात्यातून कापले जाणार आहेत. या दोन्ही योजनांसाठी तुम्हाला 2 लाख रुपयांचं विमा कवच मात्र मिळणार आहे.
पुढे D या रकान्यात तुमच्या सध्या असलेल्या कर्जाची माहिती द्यायची आहे. यामध्ये कोणत्या बँकेकडून कर्ज घेतलं, शाखेचं नाव काय, कर्जाची किती रक्कम शिल्लक आहे आणि थकबाकी किती आहे, ते लिहायचं आहे.
त्यानंतर E या रकान्यात जमिनीबद्दलची माहिती द्यायची आहे. यात गावाचं नाव, सर्वे किंवा गट क्रमांक, जमीन स्वत:च्या मालकीची आहे की भाडेतत्वानं करत आहात की सामायिक मालकीची आहे, तो पर्याय टिक करायचा आहे. पुढे तुमच्याकडे किती एकर शेतजमीन आहे आणि खरीप, रबी आणि इतर कोणती पीकं घेतली जातात, त्याबद्दल माहिती भरायची आहे.
त्यानंतर F रकाना मत्स्यपालन आणि पशुपालन करणाऱ्या शेतकऱ्यांसाठी आहे. यात तुमच्याकडे एकूण दुध देणारे प्राणी, शेळ्या आणि मेंढ्या, डुकरं तसंच कोंबड्या किती आहेत, यांची माहिती सांगायची आहे.
त्याखाली मत्स्यपालन यात इनलँड फिशरिज म्हणजे टँक, पाँड यात मच्छिलापन करता की मरिन फिशरिज समुद्रात जाऊन मासेमारी करता ते सांगायचं आहे.
यानंतर सेक्युरिटी म्हणून काय मालमत्ता देणार, त्याची माहिती भरावयाची आहे. सगळ्यात शेवटी सही करायची आहे.
त्यानंतर Acknowledgment हा भाग बँकेसाठी आहे. त्यात शेतकऱ्याला काही माहिती भरायची गरज नाही.
हा अर्ज भरल्यानंतर शेतकऱ्यांनी त्याची प्रिंट आऊट घेऊन बँकेत घेऊन जायचा आहे. त्यासोबत सातबारा उतारा आणि 8-अ, दुसऱ्या बँकेतून कर्ज न घेतल्याचं शपथपत्र, आधार कार्ड, पॅन कार्ड आणि तीन पासपोर्ट साईज फोटो ही कागदपत्रं घेऊन जावी लागणार आहेत.
एकदा तुम्ही ही कागदपत्रं बँकेत जमा केली की, पुढच्या दोन आठवड्यात तुमच्या पत्त्यावर बँकेनं कार्ड पाठवायला हवं, असं सरकारनं स्पष्ट केलं आहे.
केसीसी हे डायरेक्ट शेतकऱ्याच्या बचत खात्याशी लिंक केलेलं असतं. त्याची वैधता 5 वर्षं असली, तरी दरवर्षी ते ‘रिन्यू’ करणं गरजेचं आहे.
किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड मिळवण्याची ही सगळी प्रक्रिया निशुल्क करण्यात आली आहे. 3 लाख रुपयांपर्यंतच्या कर्ज प्रक्रियेसाठी बँकांनी कोणतेही शुल्क आकारू नये, असे आदेश इंडियन बँक असोसिएशननं दिले आहेत.
आता इथं एक गोष्ट लक्षात ठेवायची आहे, ती म्हणजे वरील अर्ज फक्त पीएम-किसान सन्मान योजनेच्या लाभार्थ्यांसाठी आहे. पण, याचा अर्थ असा होत नाही की तुम्ही पीएम किसान योजनेचे लाभार्थी नसाल तर तुम्हाला किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड मिळणार नाही. तुम्हालाही किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड मिळेल.
त्यासाठी तुम्ही बँकेत गेला आणि सांगितलं की, तुम्ही पीएम किसान योजनेचे लाभार्थी नाही आहात, पण तुम्हाला किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड हवं आहे, तर तिथं तुम्हाला इंडियन बँक असोसिएशननं कृषी कर्जासाठी बनवलेला स्टँडर्ड फॉरमॅटमधील अर्ज दिला जाईल. तुम्ही तो फॉर्म भरून कागदपत्रांसहित बँकेत सबमिट करू शकता.
हे झालं ऑफलाईन अर्ज करण्याच्या बाबतीत. पण, किसान क्रेडिट कार्डसाठी ऑनलाईन पद्धतीनंही अर्ज करता येतो.
ऑनलाईन पद्धतीनं अर्ज करायचा असल्यास ही फॅसिलिटी फक्त CSC (Common Service Centre) किंवा आपले सरकार सेवा केंद्रावर उपलब्ध आहे. वैयक्तिकरित्या शेतकरी किसान क्रेडिट कार्डसाठी ऑनलाईन अर्ज दाखल करू शकत नाही. त्यासाठी त्यांना CSC किंवा आपले सरकार सेवा केंद्रावरच जावं लागतं. तिथं जाऊन क्रेडिट कार्डसाठीचा फॉर्म भरावा लागतो. पण, हे करत असताना शेतकऱ्यांकडून एक ठरावीक शुल्क आकारलं जातं.
आता पाहूया किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड अंतर्गत किती क्रेडिट लोन शेतकऱ्यांना दिलं जातं ते.
कर्ज किती आणि उपयोग काय?
केसीसी अंतर्गत एखाद्या शेतकऱ्याला किती कर्ज द्यायचं, हे त्या शेतकऱ्याचं उत्पन्न किती आहे, त्याच्याकडे जमीन किती आहे आणि त्या जमिनीवर लागवडीखालील क्षेत्र किती आहे, यावरून ठरवलं जातं.
केसीसी अंतर्गत शेतकऱ्याला 3 लाख रुपयांपर्यंत कर्ज दिलं जातं. इथं एक गोष्ट लक्षात घ्यायची ती म्हणजे 1 लाख 60 हजार रुपयांपर्यंत विनातारण कर्ज दिलं जातं, तर त्यापेक्षा अधिक पण 3 लाख रुपयांपर्यंतच्या कर्जासाठी तारण ठेवणं गरजेचं असतं.
केसीसीवरून जे काही कर्ज दिलं जातं त्यावर 7 टक्के व्याजदर आकारला जातो. पण, शेतकरी कर्जाची परतफेड वर्षभरात करणार असेल, तर व्याजदरात 3 टक्के सवलत दिली जाते. म्हणजे एकूण 4 टक्के व्याजदारानं शेतकऱ्यांना कर्ज मिळतं. शेतमालाच्या विक्रीतून शेतकऱ्यांनी या कर्जाची परतफेड करणं अपेक्षित असतं.
यात अजून एक महत्त्वाची गोष्ट म्हणजे 1 लाख रुपयांपर्यंतचं कर्ज बिनव्याजी दिलं जातं.
याशिवाय, किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड अंतर्गत लोन घेणाऱ्या शेतकऱ्याचा अपघाती मृत्यू झाला किंवा अपंगत्व आलं, तर त्याला 50 हजार रुपयांचं विमा संरक्षण दिलं जातं, तसंच इतर धोक्यांसाठी 25 हजार रुपयांचं विमा संरक्षण दिलं जातं.
The actual case load of COVID-19 cases in the country is only 3,42,756, as on date. More than 6.35 lakhs (63.33%) of the total cases have recovered.
India, being the second most populous country in the world with 1.35 billion people, has 727.4 cases per million. On the global scale, cases/million population in India are 4 to 8 times less than some European countries.
The case fatality rate at 18.6 deaths/million of the country is one of the lowest in the world. The collaborative efforts of all States/UTs for house-to-house surveys, contact tracing, surveillance of containment and buffer zones, perimeter control activities, aggressive testing and timely diagnosis has resulted in early identification of the infected persons. This has helped in early treatment too.
India has followed a standard of care protocol for the differentiated categorisation of COVID-19 patients- mild, moderate and severe as clearly formulated in the Clinical Management Protocol of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW). The effective clinical management strategies have shown to yield positive results. Almost 80% of the asymptomatic and mild cases have been advised home isolation under medical supervision. The moderate and severe patients are being treated in either the Dedicated COVID Hospitals or Dedicated COVID Health Centres. The strategy of home isolation for the mild and asymptomatic patients has ensured to keep the hospitals unburdened, where the focus has been on treatment of the severe cases and reduction of fatality. It is also notable that less than 1.94% of the cases are in ICUs, 0.35% cases are on ventilators and 2.81% cases are on Oxygen beds.
Medical infrastructure to ensure quality treatment of the admitted patients is being continuously augmented across the country. As a result of concerted efforts, the COVID-19 Hospital Infrastructure to treat COVID-19 is stronger today. It has 1383 Dedicated COVID Hospitals, 3107 Dedicated COVID Healthcare Centres, and 10,382 COVID Care Centres. Together they have a capacity of 46,673 ICU beds. 21,848 ventilators are deployed in the hospitals in all States/UTs. There is no shortage of N95 masks and PPE kits. The Centre has supplied 235.58 lakh N95 masks and 124.26 lakh PPE kits to State/UTs/Central institutions.

This Challenge has proved that given the right push our tech companies can build world class solutions.
The enrolment of farmers under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) for Kharif-2020 season is going on in full swing in various States and UTs of the country. Government of India has made enrolment free for all the farmers who only need to pay premium amount. Farmers can get their food crops (cereals and oilseeds) insured at a minimal premium rate of 2% of sum insured, and commercial and horticulture crops at 5% of sum insured in Kharif -2020. The remaining premium will be subsidised by the Centre Government and States. The cut-off date for ongoing Kharif 2020 season in few States/UTs may end by 31st July 2020.
In order to motivate the farmers, the Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar has appealed to them to get enrolled under PMFBY through video message and requested all farmers to protect themselves against financial loss due to crop failures/damages as a result of natural disasters. (Minister’s full message to all farmers can be viewed on PIB’s YouTube channel at : https://youtu.be/b9LooMrHdEk)
The Scheme ensures protection of crop loss for entire cropping cycle, from pre-sowing to post-harvest activities. Farmers are encouraged to enrol for the Scheme at the earliest to avail the coverage against prevented sowing due to any unforeseen calamity. In addition, there is comprehensive risk coverage against drought, floods, inundation, landslides unseasonable rainfall, hailstorm, natural fires, and cyclone for the standing crop as well as coverage against hailstorm, cyclone and unseasonal rainfall for post-harvest crop.
In February 2020, the Government of India approved revamping of PMFBY in order to address some previous challenges in the implementation of the crop insurance scheme. The Government made the scheme voluntary for all the farmers from Kharif-2020 onwards. Earlier, the scheme was compulsory for all the loanee farmers. Now, farmers with loan dues can opt out of the scheme by submitting a simple declaration to their bank branch seven days before the cut-off date of enrolment.
Any farmer who wishes to get enrolled under PMFBY should contact his nearest Bank, Primary Agricultural Credit Society, Common Service Centre (CSC)/ Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs), Office of Agriculture Dept, Representative of Insurance Company or directly online through the National Crop Insurance Portal (NCIP) at www.pmfby.gov.in and Crop Insurance App
Farmers need to carry Aadhaar number, bank passbook, land record/tenancy agreement, and self-declaration certificate to complete the enrolment process. This season, all farmers enrolled under the Scheme will be intimated about the status of their application through regular SMS on their registered mobile numbers.
In a bid to ensure hassle-free enrolment of farmers, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare provided training to 29,275 officials from banks, insurance companies, Common Service Centres (CSC), State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC), Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs), State and District level Agriculture and ATMA officials etc. Besides this, insurance companies have also provided training to different stakeholders. The Ministry also aims at providing training to 600 executives of Kisan Call Centres.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has taken a slew of steps to create awareness among the farmers about the Scheme. Different insurance companies in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and State Agricultural Departments have launched a massive campaign across the country. Different activities such as local level awareness meetings, display of banners and posters at important locations, distribution of pamphlets, IEC Vans, advertisements in local and national newspapers, Mass Media Campaign among others, are being conducted to create awareness at the grassroots level.
The PM Fasal Bima Yojana is designed to protect farmers from natural calamities, pest or insect attack and diseases, and help them get back on their feet by providing financial support through claim settlement. All farmers are encouraged to enrol under PMFBY to avail the benefits of crop insurance as a protection against crop loss due to unforeseen natural calamities.

नागपूर :‘मिशन बिगीन अगेन’ अंतर्गत लॉकडाऊनमध्ये शिथिलता देण्यात आली. शासनाच्या दिशानिर्देशानुसार सर्व नियमांचे पालन करावे या अटीवर दैनंदिन कामकाज सुरू करण्याची सवलत देण्यात आली. नागरिकांना प्रशासनातर्फे वेळोवेळी आवाहन करण्यात आले. मात्र, नागरिक नियम पाळत नसल्याचे झपाट्याने वाढणारी रुग्णसंख्या आणि वाढत्या मृत्युसंख्येवरून दिसू लागले आहे. त्यामुळे आता नियम तोडणाऱ्यांवर तात्काळ प्रभावाने साथरोग नियंत्रण कायद्यांतर्गत सरळ गुन्हे दाखल करण्यात यावे, असे निर्देश मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी दिले.
वाढत्या रुग्णसंख्येमुळे अनेक शहरात लॉकडाऊन करण्यात आले. मात्र, नागपुरात लॉकडाऊन करण्याची गरज पडू नये, यासाठी आता नियमांची कडक अंमलबजावणी करण्यात यावी या विषयावर शुक्रवारी (ता. १७) नागपुरातील मनपाच्या दहाही झोनचे सहायक आयुक्त आणि पोलिस प्रशासनातील अतिरिक्त आयुक्तांसह सर्व झोनचे उपायुक्त यांची संयुक्त बैठक मनपा मुख्यालयातील आयुक्त कार्यालयात आयोजित करण्यात आली होती. बैठकीला मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे, अतिरिक्त आयुक्त राम जोशी, संजय निपाणे, उपायुक्त निर्भय जैन, अतिरिक्त पोलिस आयुक्त डॉ. शशिकांत महावरकर, पोलिस उपायुक्त सर्वश्री विवेक मासाळ, राहुल माकणीकर, विक्रम साळी, निलोत्पल, श्वेता खेडकर, विनिता एस., पोलिस निरीक्षक वर्षा देशमुख आणि मनपाच्या दहाही झोनचे सहायक आयुक्त उपस्थित होते.
‘मिशन बिगीन अगेन’ सुरू होण्यापूर्वी नागपुरात ४०० च्या जवळपास कोव्हिड रुग्णसंख्या होती. मात्र, १६ जुलैपर्यंत ती २१०० च्या घरात गेली. म्हणजेच दीड महिन्यात १७०० रुग्णवाढ झाली. याचाच अर्थ नागरिकांना नियमांचे पालन करण्याचे वेळोवेळी आवाहन करण्यात येत असूनही ते केले जात नाही. बाजारात व्यापाऱ्यांना ताकीद देऊनही सोशल डिस्टंसिंगचे पालन करण्यात येत नाही. मास्कचा वापर केला जात नाही. दुकानांसाठी जे नियम आखून दिले आहेत, त्याचेही उल्लंघन होत आहे. नाईट कर्फ्यूची ही गांभीर्यपूर्वक अंमलबजावणी करण्याचे आवाहन त्यांनी पोलीस विभागास केले.आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी यापुढे मार्केट परिसरात नियमांचे काटेकोरपणे पालन व्हायलाच हवे, असे म्हणत आजपर्यंत नागरिकांवर प्रशासनाने ही जबाबदारी टाकली होती. आता नागरिक नियमांकडे दुर्लक्ष करीत असतील तर त्यांच्यावर साथरोग नियंत्रण कायद्याखाली ‘ऑन दि स्पॉट’ गुन्हा दाखल करण्याचे निर्देश आयुक्तांनी दिले. यासाठी मनपा प्रशासन आणि पोलिस प्रशासनाने आजपासूनच “ॲक्टिव्ह मोड”वर यावे असेही त्यांनी सांगीतले.
हॉकर्सवर होणार कारवाई
‘मिशन बिगीन अगेन’ अंतर्गत काढण्यात आलेल्या आदेशात कुठेही शहरात हॉकर्सला परवानगी देण्यात आलेली नाही. मुख्य बाजारात आणि गल्ल्यांमध्येही हॉकर्स बसलेले आहेत. सम-विषम नियमात दुकानांना परवानगी आहे. मात्र, हॉकर्स दिशा बदलवून बसू लागले आहे. ही बाब पोलिस अधिकाऱ्यांनीच लक्षात आणून दिली. अशा शहरातील सर्व हॉकर्सवर तात्काळ कारवाई करण्याचे आदेश आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी यावेळी दिले. त्यांनी सांगितले की कुठल्याही वाहनामध्ये अनुज्ञेय संख्येपेक्षा जास्त प्रवासी असल्यास कारवाई करण्यात यावी.
दंडाची रक्कम वाढणार
बाजार परिसरात नियमांचे उल्लंघन करणाऱ्या दुकानदारांवर मनपाच्या उपद्रव शोध पथकाद्वारे दंड आकारण्यात येत होता. आता ही कारवाई अधिक कडक करण्यात येणार आहे. नवा आदेश काढून ही रक्कम वाढवणार असल्याची माहिती मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी यावेळी बैठकीत दिली. दुकाने सुरू ठेवण्याची वेळ निश्चित केलेली असतानाही रात्री ९ ते १० वाजतापर्यंत दुकाने उघडे राहात असल्याची बाब मनपा आयुक्तांनी सहायक आयुक्त आणि पोलिस उपायुक्तांच्या लक्षात आणून दिली. अशा दुकानांवरही कारवाई करण्याचे आदेश आयुक्तांनी दिले.
रात्रीच्या संचारबंदीचीही कडक अंमलबजावणी
शासनाचे दिशानिर्देश आणि स्थानिक पातळीवर काढलेल्या आदेशानुसार रात्री ९ ते सकाळी ५ वाजतापर्यंत शहरात संचारबंदी राहील, असे नमूद आहे. रात्री उशिरापर्यंत नागरिकांचे आवागमन सुरू आहे. यासाठी पोलिसांनी नाकाबंदी करावी, विनाकारण फिरणाऱ्यांवर कारवाई करावी, असे निर्देशही मनपा आयुक्तांनी दिले. विलगीकरण केंद्रातला पोलिस बंदोबस्त, प्रतिबंधित क्षेत्रातील आवगमनावरील नियंत्रण पूर्वीसारखे कडक करण्याचे निर्देशही मनपा आयुक्तांनी दिले.
कार्यालयांनाही उपस्थिती संख्येचे बंधन पाळावे
राज्य शासनाने खाजगी कार्यालयात १० टक्के किंवा जास्तीत जास्त १० कर्मचारी अनुज्ञेय केले आहे. तसेच शासकीय कार्यालयात १५ टक्के किंवा जास्तीत जास्त १५ कर्मचारी अनुज्ञेय करण्यात आले आहे. यामधून अत्यावश्यक सेवा देणारे शासकीय कार्यालय जसे आरोग्य विभाग, लेखा विभाग, आपातकालीन व्यवस्थापन, पोलीस, एन.आय.सी., खाद्यान्न आपूर्ति विभाग, महानगरपालिकेची सेवा, एफ.सी.आय, आणि एन.वाय.के. यांना वगळण्यात आले आहे.
लॉकडाऊन हा अंतिम पर्याय : आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे
महाराष्ट्रातील इतर शहरांप्रमाणे नागपुरातही लॉकडाऊन व्हावे, ही आपली भूमिका सद्यास्थितीत नाहीच. पण नागरिकांना वेळोवेळी आवाहन करूनही जर त्यांनी नियमांचे पालन केले नाही, शिस्त पाळली नाही तर ‘लॉकडाऊन’च्या पर्यायावरही विचार करावा लागेल असे मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी मनपा आणि पोलिस प्रशासनासोबतच्या संयुक्त बैठकीत सांगितले. प्रत्येकाने मास्कचा वापर करावा, सोशल डिस्टंन्सिंग पाळावे, रात्र संचारबंदीचे पालन करावे, विनाकारण घराबाहेर पडू नये, हॉकर्सने दुकाने थाटू नये, हे नियम जे पाळत नसतील त्यांच्यावर कुठलीही तमा न बाळगता कारवाई करा, असे निर्देश मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी मनपाचे सहायक आयुक्त आणि पोलिस उपायुक्तांना दिले. आपल्यासाठी मनुष्याचा जीव आणि या शहराचे आरोग्य महत्त्वाचे आहे. यात नागरिकांनी नियम पाळून प्रशासनाला सहकार्य करावे, असे आवाहन त्यांनी बैठकीच्या माध्यमातून केले.
नागपूर : नागपूर शहरातील नाले आणि गडरलाईनवरील अतिक्रमण हे पावसाचे पाणी घरात शिरण्यासाठी सर्वात मोठे कारण ठरत आहे. मुसळधार पाऊस आला की नाल्यांलगतच्या वस्त्यांमध्ये नेहमी ही परिस्थिती उद्भवते. या विषयाच्या अभ्यासाअंती नाला आणि गडरलाईनवर असलेले अतिक्रमण हे सर्वात मोठे कारण असून लवकरच अशा अतिक्रमणांवर मोठी कारवाई होणार असल्याचे संकेत मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी दिले आहेत.
नागपूर शहरासाठी हा प्रश्न सध्या गंभीर असून यासंदर्भात मनपा प्रशासनाकडे अनेक तक्रारी येत आहेत. या तक्रारींच्या आधारे मनपा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी अतिरिक्त आयुक्त राम जोशी यांच्या नेतृत्वात जलप्रदाय विभागाच्या अधीक्षक अभियंता श्वेता बॅनर्जी आणि अन्य अधिकाऱ्यांची एक समिती बनवून याचा अभ्यास करण्याचे निर्देश दिले होते. या विषयाच्या अभ्यासाअंती मोठ्या गंभीर बाबी समोर आल्या आहेत.
यासंदर्भात माहिती देताना आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी सांगितले की, गडरलाईनवरील अतिक्रमण ही शहरासाठी फार मोठी डोकेदुखी ठरत आहे. गडरलाईनवर केलेल्या पक्क्या बांधकामामुळे दुरुस्तीचे कामे होऊ शकत नाही. त्यात अडथळे निर्माण होत आहे. शहरात सुमारे २७५ पेक्षा अधिक ठिकाणी पक्के घर बांधणे, गडरलाईन कव्हर करणे, वऱ्हांडा बांधणे अशी कामे नागरिकांनी केली आहेत. यामुळे चोकेज काढता येत नाही. पाऊस आला की चोकेजमुळे घाण पाणी बाहेर पडतं आणि घरांमध्ये शिरतं.
नाल्यांच्याही बाबतीत अशीच परिस्थिती आहे. ७० पेक्षा अधिक भागांमध्ये नाल्यांमध्ये काँक्रीटचे स्तंभ उभारणे, स्लॅब टाकणे, नाल्याकाठी सोसायटी उभारणाऱ्या बिल्डरने नाल्याची भिंत उंच करणे, नाल्याची जागा बळकावून आत बांधकाम करणे आणि नाल्याचा प्रवाह वळविणे, असे गंभीर प्रकारही समोर आले आहेत. शहरात २२७ नाले आहेत. परंतु आता ही संख्या १३० च्या आसपास आल्याचे तीन महिन्यांच्या अभ्यास लक्षात आले. ही बाब अत्यंत गंभीर असून आता याविरोधात मोहिमच उघडण्यात येत असल्याची माहिती आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी दिली.
अतिक्रमण काढा नाहीतर कारवाई!
नैसर्गिक प्रवाह अडविण्यामुळे पावसाचे पाणी घरात शिरु लागले आहे. अतिक्रमण हा त्यातील सर्वात मोठा अडथळा आहे. त्यामुळे ज्यांनी गडरलाईनवर, नाल्यांवर जेथे कुठे अतिक्रमण केले आहेत, पिलर्स उभारले आहेत, त्यांनी तातडीने अतिक्रमणे काढावीत, अन्यथा आपत्ती व्यवस्थापन कायद्यांतर्गत अतिक्रमण करणाऱ्या प्रत्येकावर कारवाई करण्यात येईल, असा इशारा आयुक्त तुकाराम मुंढे यांनी दिला आहे.

पंतप्रधान पीक विमा योजना राज्यात लागू करण्यात आली आहे. यासंबंधीचा शासन निर्णय महाराष्ट्र सरकारनं 29 जून 2020 रोजी प्रसिद्ध केला आहे. त्यानुसार, पुढच्या 3 वर्षांसाठी राज्यात ही योजना राबवण्यात येणार आहे. याचाच अर्थ पुढच्या 3 वर्षांसाठी पीक विम्याची रक्कम, विमा हप्त्याचा दर आणि तुमच्या जिल्ह्यासाठीची कंपनी कायम राहणार आहे.
यात सगळ्यात महत्त्वाची गोष्ट म्हणजे यंदाच्या खरीप हंगामाकरता पीक विम्यासाठी अर्ज करण्यासाठी शेवटची तारीख 31 जुलै आहे.
आता आपण पंतप्रधान पीक विमा योजना काय आहे, कोणत्या पिकासाठी किती रुपयांचं विमा संरक्षण मिळणार आहे आणि कोणत्या जिल्ह्यासाठी कोणत्या कंपनीची नियुक्ती करण्यात आली आहे, याविषयीची माहिती जाणून घेणार आहोत. तसंच पीक विमा योजनेत सहभागी व्हायचं की नाही, याबबात जे मतभेद आहेत, त्याविषयीही माहिती पाहणार आहोत.
सुरुवातीला पाहूया पीक विमा योजना काय आहे ते.
पीक विमा योजना
पंतप्रधान पीक विमा योजना राज्यात 2016च्या खरीप हंगामापासून राबवण्यात येत आहे.
या योजनेअंतर्गत नैसर्गिक आपत्ती जसं की पुरेसा पाऊस न पडणं, गारपीट, पूर, वादळ, दुष्काळ किंवा पिकांवर कीड पडणं यासारख्या गोष्टींमुळे शेतातल्या पिकांचं नुकसान झाल्यास शेतकऱ्यांना विमा संरक्षण दिलं जातं.
स्वत:च्या मालकीचे जमीन असणारे किंवा इतरांची जमीन भाडेतत्वावर कसणारे शेतकरी या योजनेसाठी अर्ज करू शकतात.
आतापर्यंत कर्जदार शेतकऱ्यांना (ज्यांनी पीक कर्ज घेतलं आहे) पीक विमा योजना अनिवार्य करण्यात आली होती. पण, यंदा सरकारनं कर्जदार तसंच बिगर कर्जदार शेतकऱ्यांनाही ही योजना ऐच्छिक स्वरुपात ठेवली आहे. म्हणजे शेतकऱ्याची इच्छा असेल तरच ते या योजनेत सहभाग नोंदवू शकतात.
इथं एक गोष्ट लक्षात ठेवायची, ती म्हणजे तुम्ही जर कर्जदार शेतकरी आणि तुम्हाला या योजनेत सहभागी व्हायचं नसेल, तर तसं शपथपत्र तुम्हाला या योजनेसाठी अर्ज करण्याच्या शेवटच्या तारेखच्या 7 दिवस आधी बँकेत जमा करायचं आहे.
31 जुलै ही योजनेसाठी अर्ज करण्याची शेवटची तारीख आहे, याचा अर्थ 24 जुलैपर्यंत तुम्ही हे शपथपत्र बँकेत जमा करणं गरजेचं आहे. जर तुम्ही ते केलं नाही, तर तुमचा या योजनेतील सहभाग बंधनकारक ग्राह्य धरला जाईल आणि तुमच्या खात्यातून विमा हप्त्याची रक्कम कापली जाईल.
Law movie star cast: Ragini Prajwal, Mandya Ramesh, Avinash, Krishna Hebbale
Law movie director: Raghu Samarth
Law movie rating: 1.5 stars
A few minutes into the film, a gang-rape survivor approaches a police station in the middle of the night to report the crime. She is met with demeaning jokes about women, unsympathetic treatment, harsh judgement and the usual victim-blaming questions: What were you doing out so late in the night?
And the victim-shaming parade is led by a police inspector, played by Mandya Ramesh. The cop uses his dubious laughter to add insult to injury that begins to get on your nerves.
The opening scene of Law is a complete bust. It doesn’t make you feel anything as the whole set-up is shabby. It is staged and performed poorly. And then, the survivor’s father walks into the police station. The character is played by another senior actor Avinash. And he walks into the police station as if he couldn’t care less about his daughter’s predicament. And he says something like this, “Oh, please, stop making a big fuss out of it. Just, forget all about it and come home with me.”
Now, I get it, director Raghu Samarth wants to underline the fact that not all crimes against women get reported because of the social stigma and the family’s fear about: “what will people say?” But, just having a good idea or a noble intention to show it, is not good enough. As a director, he should make the idea come to life as powerful as possible. And that is where Raghu fails as a filmmaker.
And Ragini Prajwal’s unconvincing performance doesn’t make the film any better.
Law offers a jaded gaze at crimes against women and a woman’s effort to get justice within the confines of law. The film looks and sounds like a worn-out daytime soap opera. In its nearly two-hour run, the film doesn’t have a single moment that makes us feel the pain, horror and trauma of sexual crime survivors.

कोरोना संकटाच्या काळात नोटा सॅनिटायझ करण्यासाठी ही मशीन उपयुक्त ठरणार आहे. सोशल मीडियावर मशीनचे फोटो व्हायरल होत असून, नेटकरी मशीन बनवणाऱ्यांचे कौतुक करत आहेत.
There was no need for a CBI probe into the death case of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput as the Mumbai police were capable of handling the matter, said Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Friday.
The police were also examining the angle of “business rivalry” in the case, he said.
Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Bandra apartment in Mumbai on June 14 and what the police claimed was a case of suicide. In the initial investigation, the Mumbai police had found that the actor was under medication for depression.
On Thursday, Rajput’s friend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, in a tweet, demanded a CBI inquiry to understand what “pressures” prompted Rajput to take the extreme step of suicide.
Chakraborty said though she has “complete faith” in the government, a CBI inquiry would help bring justice to the case.
Talking to PTI, Deshmukh said the Mumbai police were conducting a detailed inquiry into the actor’s death and also recording statements of people concerned.
“There was no need to give the case to the CBI. Our police officials are capable and doing the inquiry in right way. We are also examining the angle of business rivalry,” said Deshmukh.
So far, the police have recorded the statements of more than two dozen people, including Chakraborty, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bollywood casting director Mukesh Chhabra and Rajput’s family members, as part of probe into the suicide, which jolted the Hindi film industry.
Rajput starred in films such as ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’, ‘Raabta’, ‘Kedarnath’ and ‘Sonchiriya’. But his most prominent role came as cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’.
