मध्य प्रदेश : माफिया के हौसले बुलंद, अवैध खनन में लगे ट्रैक्टर ने डिप्टी रेंजर को कुचला

मध्य प्रदेश में खनन का माफिया का आतंक जारी है. मुरैना के देवरी गांव में डिप्टी रेंजर को अवैध खनन में लगे ट्रैक्टर ने कुचल दिया है. उसकी मौके पर ही मौत हो गई है. फिलहाल इस मामले की और जानकारी के लिये अभी इंतजार है. लेकिन इस घटना के बाद से इतना तो तय है कि मध्य प्रदेश में खनन माफिया के हौसले इतने बुलंद हैं कि उनको पुलिस और प्रशासन का एकदम भय नहीं है. इसी साल फरवरी में आई एक रिपोर्ट की मानें अवैध खनन के मामले में मध्य प्रदेश दूसरे नंबर है. इसकी तस्दीक केन्द्र सरकार के आंकड़ों ने की है, लेकिन हैरानी इस बात की है कि इनमें एफआईआर महज़ कुछ फीसद मामलों में ही दर्ज हुई हैं. मध्य प्रदेश में राजगढ़, भिंड हो या छिंदवाड़ा धरती का सीना चीरकर अवैध उत्खनन की तस्वीरें पूरे प्रदेश से आती रहती हैं. यही वजह है केंद्रीय खनन मंत्रालय ने लोकसभा में दिए गए जवाब में माना है कि मध्य प्रदेश अवैध खनन के मामले में नंबर दो पर है. आंकड़ों के मुताबिक 2016-17 में अवैध उत्खनन के सबसे ज्यादा 31173 मामले महाराष्ट्र से आए, लेकिन एफआईआर 794 में दर्ज हुई. मध्य प्रदेश से 13880 मामले आए, लेकिन एफआईआर दर्ज हुई 516 में, जबकि आंध्र प्रदेश से 9703 मामले आए एफआईआर हुई 3 में.

HC upholds Section 105 of land acquisition Act

The Madras High Court on Tuesday upheld the constitutional validity of Section 105 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCT) Act of 2013. The provision was challenged because it exempts certain chapters of the legislation from being made applicable to acquisitions for national highways, railways, electricity and 10 other purposes.

A Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and V. Bhavani Subbaroyan held that striking down Section 105 would actually be detrimental, and not beneficial, to those whose lands were being acquired for national highways. The judges said the land owners might get deprived of benefits such as rehabilitation and resettlement provided to them. Read more

Labour safety ignored at Rampal plant

The death of 15-year-old Sajib, a worker at the Rampal Power Plant site, brought attention to an issue that went previously unnoticed — the lack of safety gears and the unsafe conditions that the plant workers have to face.

Sajib, on Friday, was electrocuted during work, as he was not wearing any protective gears. Three others were injured when they tried to save him.

They were rescued and taken to hospital by their co-workers. No authorities concerned of the plant, however, came to their aid. Read more

Coal Mining Talks On Track, Says CM

SHILLONG: Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said on Wednesday his government has brought the issue of coal ban on track in the last six months.

Talking to media persons after taking oath as the South Tura MLA, Sangma said the ban “is basically an environmental issue but later so many issues, like ownership of coal, safety of miners and the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act came up”. Also, there was a wide communication gap between the state and the Centre, he added.
Sangma was reacting to Congress leader PT Sawkmie’s statement on Tuesday that the state government was delaying the solution to the impasse. Read more
