Bus Route no. 15 of NMMT suffers highest loss By Umesh Parida TURBHE: As per the data given to Corporator Komal S Vaskar, in February 2015 the NMMT plied 297 bus services in 44 routes from among which 41 went on loss. The NMMT also revealed that it spends Rs 49 per km whereas the earning stands at Rs 41.15 per km. The major loss making route is route no. 15, Karave Nagar to Nerul LP with per km loss of Rs 28.66, followed by route no. 23, Belapur railway station to Sarsole depot, with loss of Rs 28.02 per km, route no. 29 between CBD bus depot to Belapur gaon with Rs 27.54 loss per km and route no. 13-14 Ghansoli station to Nelco Mhape with loss of Rs 27.25 per km .

Issue : 260 11 March, 2015 Kejriwal should not lose the advantage By effecting the removal of Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav from the Political Affairs Committee of the Aam Aadmi Party, the dominant faction of the AAP that stands solidly behind national convener Arvind Kejriwal signalled that it would not tolerate any dissidence in the organisation. Kejriwal is no doubt the face of the party and is central to the party’s fortunes both as Delhi Chief Minister and a front-line leader of the AAP. The AAP has taken great pride in differentiating itself from other parties. Kejriwal had talked a lot about transparency and democratic processes. Kejriwal should realize that politics revolving around a personality cult is dangerous. He should not follow the example of NehruGandhi family by surrounding himself with a coterie of subservient second-rung leaders. He should make a solid strategy to strengthen the democratic structure of his party. If he wants to rule India one day, it is very necessary that he strengthen the organizational base of the party. AAP needs to evolve a system that will be right for India’s future. Internal democracy of AAP is in question since its beginning. That’s the problem faced by every new party that is formed. But Kejriwal should learn from the experiences of other parties which ruled India in the past and realize at once that centralization of power to self is not a good sign for future politics. History proves that one man party is not long lasting. AAP’s politics should not be centralized to Kejriwal. There is no doubt that Kejriwal is the chief architect of AAP. Kejriwal and his close supporters should reflect, retrace and consolidate AAP’s victory without indulging in bickerings. Kejriwal surely is the face of the party and has to lead it from the front. But taking along those who are held by people as good, straight forward, brainy and backbone of the Party is the need of the hour. They need to have control of the party but should develop finesse to have it without appearing to do so. That is the real art of running political parties. Sooner AAP realizes this and acts as a mature party, better it will be for the party. Kejriwal has become an ‘icon’ of change who dreams of a new political system in the country unlike traditional politics. Even now, common people feel ‘AAP’ means Arvind Kejriwal’. This is a new Party with a lot of ‘dreams’. So, Kejriwal should first remove all the loopholes from the party and then enter areas outside Delhi step by step because it is not so easy to bring reformations in traditional political system. Yes, it is necessary to remove people with vested personal interests who have trespassed into AAP and replace them by people who harbor the same dreams like their leader. Unless this is done, the party can’t progress. (played in Australia).Off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/38) introduction by skipper M S Dhoni not only saw the back of Stirling in the 15th over.

This patriarchal culture confines a woman’s role to the family for the sake of reproduction and for accumulation of wealth, negating her contribution to the nation’s GDP. Marriage is considered the ultimate in her life. However, the need to pay dowry makes a daughter a burden, leading to sexselective abortions and female foeticides. The Hindu Marriage Act prescribes the age of marriage for a girl as 18 but it does not say that the marriage of a girl below 18 is either void or avoidable. A woman has no right to decide her partner and those who break this rule are murdered and it is called “honour killing! “Domestic violence is accepted meekly by most women who have no alternative. Single/divorced women are considered ‘available’. The family often prefers not to complain of rape as prospects of marriage are considered all important. The honour of the family is more important than the honour of a woman in the family! Laws are redundant in the absence of social responsibility towards gender issues and the political will to implement the laws.

But Women-specific laws, namely, the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, the Dowry Prohibition Act, the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, the Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act have not acted as a deterrent.

Mothers need to change their views towards their daughter. Let them free. Make them self-dependent and prepare them for self defense. Once women starts feeling that they can protect themselves, then mindset will automatically change. it’s a gradual process and will happen if only everyone tries, It can be surely changed. Only education will not help to solve this riddle but teaching disciplines and creating respect for women in the mind of the males is necessary. It can’t be only learned in school but those basics start from your family, friends and how elders treat women in their house.

Why Maharashtra beef ban is a good decision? After the President gave his assent to the law concerning banning beef in the state, many angry liberals broke out in a long tirade over the internet. Many are understandably furious over Government’s intrusion on their dinner tables. Besides respecting the sentiments of India’s majority of population, here are some reasons why beef banning law is a good idea. A research conducted by Bard College of New York states that – • Carbon footprint of beef is higher than that produced by cars. • Beef production emits enormous amounts of green house gases. Of all the elements that contribute to unnatural climate change, beef production accounts to more than 25%. • The environment suffers vastly due to leather and tannery industries. • Whatever the reasons to ban beef maybe, the study shows that the water footprint of beef production is many times higher than required by any other meat. For eg – Water required to produce one kilo of chicken is three times less than used to produce same amount of beef. • Concerning the economics of buying food grains over meat, the research shows that over 70% of food grains are used for feeding livestock to raise them for meat. The basis for the ban might be political, but there are much substantial reasons for everyone to support the ban on beef. Nikita Despande, Seawoods Vinod Mehta - An Iconic Editor I was shocked about the sudden demise of a veteran journalist and author Vinod Mehta after prolonged illness. He was one of the best Indian journalists. He has done yeoman service to both journalists and readers alike. He was a very good writer and a much better Editor. He was the founder of Outlook magazine and served as its editor in chief. He has served as the editor of publications The Pioneer, The Sunday Observer, The Independent and The Indian Post. He was a beacon for free, fair and unbiased reporting and had laid the ground for bolder magazine. India will miss his irreverent valiant voice. May his soul rest in peace! - Probir Kumar Bose, New Panvel Saina surrenders After showing early promise, Saina Nehwal surrendered the initiative and lost the final two sets to hand over the title in a platter. Saina was at her best in the first game and she lost the initiative owing to lack of killer instinct. The score line of 16-21, 21-14, 21-7 revealed the real story. Thus Nehwal failed to become first Indian woman to win All England Championship. Both Prakash Padukone and Pulela Gopichand had achieved the feat in Men’s circuit. Saina Nehwal lost to Carolina Marin in All England Badminton final despite having a better seeding than her Spanish opponent. Saina made hard weather of the situation and made a number of mistakes to finish runners up. As per the seeding, the World No 3 was the clear favourite going into the summit clash against World Champion Marin in a fighting final. Though the All England is technically just one of the five super series premier events in a calendar year, it holds a special place in the hearts of every Indian and even Saina had always insisted that winning the tournament was an emotional moment for her since she wanted to emulate Indian men’s champions. Better luck next time, Saina! - By C K Subramaniam, Sanpada CMYK By Meena R Prashant On the occasion of the Women’s Day on 8 March, 2015 a marathon was organized for women in Mumbai. The Second Runner-up in the 21 km-run was Ms Supriya Patil, an Uran resident. Ms Supriya Patil finished the race barefoot as, she said, she doesn’t have sports shoes meant for running which cost around Rs.10,000/- She is an upcoming athlete who aspires to represent India in the international sports. Hence, as a goodwill gesture and to motivate her, Konkan Railway Womens’ Welfare, Cultural & Social Service Association (KRWC&SSA) today sponsored the requisite amount for her so that she could utilize the same for pursuing her ambition. The cheque of Rs.10,000/- was handed over to her today by Shri Bhanu Prakash Tayal, CMD of Konkan Railway & Patron/ KRWC&SSA. Also present on the occasion were members of KRWC&SSA and senior officials of KRCL. ` 2 cr budget provided for free underground sewage line connection for Panvelites By Umesh Parida PANVEL: The Panvel Municipal Council’s budget for 2015-16 has set aside Rs 2 cr for the proposed underground sewage line connection for the housing societies to private owners of flats, etc. However the residents have to pay the minimum deposit and drainage charges, says a PMC official. It can be noted that amidst high political drama the current dispensation had earlier announced that free sewage line connection will be done by PMC. The main sewage line will be connected to the CHS or private property sewage lines. But nothing comes free as per the official comment. The PMC City Engineer in Charge S B Katekar said, “We have set aside Rs 2 cr for the sewage line connection to our main line connection. This will include the excavation and other related activities.” About the minimum fees, he agreed that they have to pay. Quoting a PMC of- ficial, a resident has to pay Rs 4000 as deposit and Rs 2000 for drainage charges. The citizens have to pay minimum Rs 6000/- to avail the service. The official had also stated that additional charges for digging up the road, etc will be borne by the PMC. This is how the budget provision in 2015-16 will give some respite. With the PMC coming to the rescue from the next fiscal year it seems that the residents will not be able to avail the service during this fiscal year. Vasant Mela...

Road concretisation will cost ` 2.5 cr By Ashok Dhamija NAVI MUMBAI: The Agnels girls team participated in the U-14 basketball tournament conducted in Aurangabad by the District Sports Office. The team made its maiden venture into the finals and bagged the runners–up position. Darshana Dipak and Ishita Surve were selected to represent Maharashtra at the national level. It was a proud moment for Fr. Agnel as Darshana is the first from the girl’s team to attend the prestigious India Camp. The U-14 girls and boys National Basketball coaching camp was held by the Sports Authority of India at NSWC Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The camp was held from 9 to 28 February 2015.

CMYK By Umesh Parida PANVEL: The proposed road concretisation work on four roads in Panvel will cost the civic body a hoping Rs 2.5 cr. The funds will be used for laying new water supply pipelines. The budgetary provisions have been made for the same in 2015-16 budget. The Panvel Municipal Council’s city engineer in-charge S B Katekar said, “We have made a budget provision for laying new water supply pipelines. The pipelines will be laid on the proposed road on which concretization work is being mooted.” He added, “The roads include Thana naka road, Ambedkar road, Tapal Naka road and the Uran raod.” These roads are most of the time found busy. However, with the load of traffic growing at a fast rate the road concretization work will be initiated. This will put additional burden on various services so as to maintain the required pace. Keeping in mind the requirements of various services, the PMC will have to give proper thought ahead of the time and also to future requirements. The road concretization plan once started will leave little room for other requirements like power supply, cabling system etc. The MMRDA is learnt to have been conducting a survey for the said road concretization projects. Once the survey is completed the requisites will be available. Based on the findings, detailed action plan will be initiated so that future damage to the road due to various service requirements will be minimized.
