Finance Department And PDD Review Compensation Issues In Case Of Accidental Deaths Due To Electrocution
Finance Department And PDD Review Compensation Issues In Case Of Accidental Deaths Due To Electrocution
On the directions of Governor N.N. Vohra, a meeting was convened under the Chairmanship of Principal Secretary, Finance Department, Sh. Navin Kumar Choudhary to discuss the compensation issues in case of accidental death due to electrocution while repairing the electric lines. Mostly the casual labourers of the Power Development Department have lost their lives in the process. Sh. H. K. Singh Commissioner, Power Development Department, and senior officers of the Finance and Power Development Department participated in the meeting.
It was informed that on an average 15–20 persons loses their lives while dealing with the live electric lines at the time of repairs or other works. Most of them are casual labourers and their families are not covered under SRO–43 benefits. Some time back, Management Committee of the PDC had decided to fix a compensation of Rs. 3 lakh in such cases.
The issue was discussed threadbare and it was felt that the present compensation policy is adhoc as well as inadequate. Accordingly, it was decided that the Power Development Department with the prior concurrence of the Finance Department will submit a proposal to the SAC for enhancement of compensation in such cases.
The Committee also decided that the cases of permanent disability as a result of electrocution also deserves suitable compensation which as a matter of principal should be half of the amount as in the case of death to be decided by the SAC.
In order to create a fund from where such compensation could be paid will be created with sizeable seed money to be provided by the Finance Department. Further, PDD may levy suitable surcharge to be deposited in the fund on the power bills above the certain threshold.
Commissioner, PDD informed that he will accordingly bring a draft cabinet note within a period of week’s time for consideration of the SAC.

New Governor To Be Appointed Soon In Jammu And Kashmir: Report
New Governor To Be Appointed Soon In Jammu And Kashmir: Report
Jammu and Kashmir will get a new Governor as the government of India (GoI) has decided not to continue with NN Vohra, NDTV reported on Tuesday quoting sources. Vohra, 82, who has handled the charge of Jammu and Kashmir for more than a decade, will not be given another term. As per the report search is on for a new face and one of the contenders is former home secretary and current Comptroller and Auditor General Rajiv Mehrishi.
Jammu and Kashmir has been under Governor’s Rule since June 20, after the BJP ended its coalition government with Mehbooba Mufti’s People’s Democratic Party or PDP, saying it was “untenable” to continue because of security concerns.
‘BJP Ends Alliance With PDP To Attract Hindu Voters’
‘BJP Ends Alliance With PDP To Attract Hindu Voters’
Perceived resentment among Jammu’s Hindu voters over spiralling violence in the valley and “favouritism” towards Muslim-majority Kashmir made BJP, in consultation with RSS, break its ruling alliance with PDP, to give itself time to woo Hindu voters across the country, including those in Jammu, before general polls, reported CNN News 18.
The aim was to give “government room to manoeuvre to restore stability and rebuild Hindu confidence as well as burnish the party’s nationalist credentials among Hindu voters in the rest of India,” a book on RSS titled ‘RSS: A View to the Inside’ published by Penguin claims.
“Escalating violence in Kashmir and a perceived favouritism towards the Muslim-majority Kashmir Valley were eroding the confidence of Hindus in the Mehbooba Mufti government. The RSS’ information-gathering apparatus would have picked up on the growing restiveness of the Hindu community,” the authors Walter K Anderson and Shridhar Damle claim in the book.
They add, “With the general elections fast approaching, the national leadership, in consultation with the RSS and others, decided to withdraw from the alliance and impose Governor’s rule…The BJP, with support limited to the Jammu region, can only come back to power by working out another alliance with a party that draws much, if not all, of its support from the state’s Muslim majority.”
CNN News 18 quoted Ram Madhav, a key architect of the coalition with PDP, saying that the reasons for doing so were a failure to observe a ceasefire during Ramzan, deteriorating law and order, “discrimination” to Jammu and Ladakh, and the murder of Shujaat Bukhari. The same reasons were given by BJP president Amit Shah in a rally held in Jammu four days later.
The book also provides an explanation on why RSS gave its nod to BJP allying with PDP in the first place.
‘RSS: A View to the Inside’ claims that RSS gave its nod to BJP’s alliance with PDP, its ideological antithesis, only because doing this would draw “India’s only Muslim-majority state more closely into the Indian Union”.
“The decision was part of RSS’s plans to make itself more appealing to members of upwardly mobile social groups, and the fact that Modi seemed to be fond of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed clinched the deal,” CNN News 18 reported.
“A sceptical RSS had gone along with the proposed alliance in 2015 for larger strategic reasons such as strengthening national integration (i.e., drawing India’s only Muslim-majority state more closely into the Indian Union) and making Hindutva more inclusive (i.e., including the state’s Muslim majority — and, by extension, Muslims everywhere in India).”
The book claims even a “sacrosanct Hindu nationalist doctrine — such as the abolition of Article 370” was set aside, in the Common Minimum Programme that BJP and PDP jointly drafted as their mutually agreed to guide document just after announcing their coalition, because “the RSS in Jammu and Kashmir was forced to balance the narrow interests of the state’s Hindu minority with its strategic imperative of integrating Kashmir into the Indian Union”.
Another reason for giving a go-ahead to the BJP to forge an alliance with the PDP was because “RSS also wanted to project a more inclusive image — one that would make the organization appealing to members of upwardly mobile social groups”.
The decision of the RSS to back the alliance with the PDP, CNN News 18quoted the authors as saying, “was another demonstration of its support for the BJP’s ambitions to represent all parts of the country…and to draw the state’s Muslims more closely into the national mainstream”.
Mortal Remains Of Barzulla Militant Killed Last Month Being Handed Over To Family
Kathua Rape And Murder: Call Details, Medical Opinion Nail Accused
Kathua Rape And Murder: Call Details, Medical Opinion Nail Accused
The Crime Branch investigation into gruesome rape and murder of an eight-year-old from a minority nomadic community in Kathua has revealed the complexity of the accused through medical opinion, call records and other expert means.
The Crime Branch has revealed the complexity of the accused in a supplementary charge sheet filed by it before a Pathankot court where the trial of the case is being conducted on the day-to-day basis.
The Crime Branch has already arrested mastermind of the crime Sanji Ram, his son Vishal and his juvenile nephew, two special police officers Deepak Khajuria alias ‘Dipu’ and Surender Verma and friend Parvesh Kumar alias Mannu. All of them were named in the first charge sheet on April 9.
During further investigation detailed call data record analysis in respect of accused namely, Deepak Khajuria, Sanji Ram, Tilak Raj, Anand Dutta, Surinder and Vishal Jangotra was got conducted through Incharge Cyber Cell, the Crime branch has submitted in the supplementary charge sheet.
The analysis indicates communication between some of the accused on important days concerning the crime as well as after January 27, the day when the case was formally handed over to Crime Branch.
“Common location analysis based on the data provided by the cellular companies indicates presence of some of the accused in and around Rasana, Kootah on crucial dates concerning crime corroborating many instances of the main charge sheet. From the analysis, it is evident that spike in the calls, between some of the accused, is visible immediately around important dates of occurrence of crime, after the recovery of the dead body of the victim as well as when crime scenes were inspected by the investigating agency in this case,” it says, pointing out meeting of minds in furtherance of a conspiracy which resulted in the rape and murder of the victim.
Sources told that CDR analysis also reveals that Vishal Jangotra remained in constant touch with his family whenever he has been in U.P and only in few instances there is no communication with his family for few days. “There are no calls between accused Vishal and his parents from 12.01.2018 to 17.01.2018 which is unusual and vouches for his presence in Rasana on crucial dates concerning crime as well as his subsequent conduct after returning back to Meerut, UP,” The Crime Branch has submitted in the supplementary charge sheet.
Analysis of CDRs of Vishal also reveal that he has a pattern of travelling to UP from Rasana in the late evening hours and reaching UP in the morning and conversely a pattern of travelling from UP to Rasana in the late evening hours and reaching Rasana in the early morning hours.
In the charge sheet, the crime branch has also revealed that bank account of Sanji Ram showed that in the month of December 2017 & January 2018 he has repeatedly withdrawn the substantial amount of money ranging from Rs 40,000 to Rs 1, 00,000 from his bank account on different dates. During the investigation, it also transpired that Sanji Ram had neither undertaken any constructional activity nor had he acquired any valuable asset nor any social function was solemnized in his family. The Crime Branch has concluded that accused Sanji Ram paid accused police officials as bribe for ensuring destruction of evidence.
The account maintained and operated by accused police officials Anand Dutta and Tilak Raj also revealed that there was a drop in the withdrawals made during the month of January when compared to preceding month as well the succeeding month.
The Crime Branch has also established that the victim was administered sedatives by accused during her captivity. “Two tablets recovered on the disclosure of Juvenile in conflict with the law from near Devsthan Rasana were sent to the forensic lab for analysis. The chemical analysis report obtained thereof reveals the presence of Clonazepam salt in the tablets.”
The expert opinion coupled with other evidence that has come on record prima-facie establishes that the victim child was continuously administered overdose of Clonazepam rendering her incapacitated to resist rape and her murder, the crime branch said.
Earlier this month, the Crime Branch informed the Supreme Court that it would be submitting a supplementary charge sheet in the case. The apex court had given them eight weeks to file it.
The district and sessions court in Pathankot framed charges of rape and murder against the seven accused in the case on June 8.

Oath As Prime Minister Of Pakistan Will Be Taken By Me On August 11: Imran Khan
Oath As Prime Minister Of Pakistan Will Be Taken By Me On August 11: Imran Khan
Imran Khan today said that he will take oath as Pakistan’s Prime Minister on August 11, according to a media report.
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), led by 65-year-old Khan, has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly (NA) after the July 25 elections, but it is still short of numbers to form the government on its own.
His party yesterday announced that it is trying to reach out to smaller parties and independents to form the next government.
Will take oath as Prime Minister on 11th of next month (August), Khan was quoted as saying by Radio Pakistan.
“I have also decided about chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which I will announce in the next 48 hours. Whatever I have decided in this regard is in the best interest of people,” he said while addressing PTI members of provincial assembly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He said alleviation of poverty from interior Sindh will be among top priorities of his government.
Earlier, PTI spokesman Naeemul Haque on Saturday told reporters that party chief Khan will take oath as the Prime Minister before August 14.
He said that he hoped the president would call an assembly session and Khan would take oath as premier before Independence day.
Although the PTI has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly after the polls, the final results issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) show that the party is still short of numbers to form its government independently.
According to the results, the PTI has bagged 116 general seats — 22 short of simple majority — whereas the PML-N and PPP have won 64 and 43 seats, respectively.
The PTI is short of the 137 needed for simple majority and is trying to woo independents to join the party.
To meet the required number of votes, the PTI leadership has reportedly been approaching the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA), PML-Quaid (PML-Q), and the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), as well as independents.
Meanwhile, two major parties — Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Peoples Party — have agreed on formulation of a “coordinated joint strategy” if the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf manages to form its government at the centre.

JRL Calls Shutdown In Jammu And Kashmir On August 5th And 6th Against Threats To Article 35-A
JRL Calls Shutdown In Jammu And Kashmir On August 5th And 6th Against Threats To Article 35-A
Joint Resistance Leadership has called for shutdown in Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 and 6 to protest against a “politically-motivated move” to “abrogate Article 35-A”.
In a series of tweets, Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said the JRL met today to deliberate “serious challenge posed to Art 35A”.
“(We) want to make it clear to GOI any and every attempt made at changing the demographic nature of the state will be stiffly resisted. In touch with all segments including legal fraternity, traders, civil society, academia. There is complete unanimity and cohesion among all with regard to resisting & fighting this serious assault together. 5th and 6th of August a complete protest strike will be observed throughout (Jammu and Kashmir), people will register their total disapproval &resistance to this politically motivated move,” said the Mirwaiz, in a tweet.
He also warned of an agitation of the Article 35 –A, which defines permanent residents of the state, was tinkered with. “A mass agitation of hitting and occupying streets will be launched if any tinkering with 35A is allowed to take place under a legal garb, the consequences of which will be entirely on those perpetuating such mischievous ploys against people of J&K,” he said.
He also appealed to the people to take part in the agitation against “this assault” in case the leadership was arrested.
“People should to be ready as there is every apprehension of a mass crackdown against leadership & political activists by the ruling dispensation and we may be gagged arrested and jailed, in that case JRL appeals people to be strong& carry forward the agitation against this assault,” he said.
The Supreme Court of India is hearing two petitions challenging the validity of the Article 35 A on August 6.
Imran Khan Will Be Sworn In As Pakistan’s New Prime Minister On Independence Day On 14th August
Imran Khan Will Be Sworn In As Pakistan’s New Prime Minister On Independence Day On 14th August
Imran Khan will be sworn in as Pakistan’s new Prime Minister before the country’s independence day on August 14, his party has announced as it is trying to reach out to smaller parties and independents to form the next government.
Though the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly after the July 25 elections, the party is still short of numbers to form its government on its own.
PTI leader Naeenul Haq told media last night that consultations are on to complete the number game.
“We have done our homework and he will take oath as Prime Minister before August 14,” Haq said.
According to the complete preliminary results announced by the ECP, the PTI has obtained 115 general seats — 12 short of a simple majority — while the PML-N and PPP have won 64 and 43 seats, respectively.
Pakistan’s NA – the lower house of Parliament – comprises a total of 342 members, of which 272 are directly elected. A party can only form the government if it manages to secure 172 seats in total.
Meanwhile, political activities are at full swing and parties are holding open meetings and secret parleys to arrange the political chessboard.
Pakistan’s two major parties — the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) — are expected to meet in a couple of days to devise a joint strategy in a bid to give a tough time to the PTI in parliament, the Dawn reported.
The Pakistani electronic media throughout the day yesterday kept on mentioning names of possible candidates for key government offices and possible members of the federal cabinet.
The PTI leaders who have won more than one seat will have to vacate additional seats as the law allows an individual to retain only one seat. PTI chairman Khan has won five seats and he will have to vacate four seats.
Ghulam Sarwar Khan of Taxila has also won two NA seats by defeating former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and he will also have to vacate one seat.
Former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak has won both National Assembly and provincial assembly seats.
If the PTI decides to nominate him again for the office of the chief minister, he will also have to vacate the NA seat which means that the party’s seats will be reduced to 109.
It was after these calculations that the PTI leadership has now decided to reach out to other smaller groups and independents since the party has already declared that it will not join hands with the PPP and the PML-N, the daily said.
The Dawn reported that Former secretary general of the PTI Jahangir Tareen had established contacts with independents and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) which has won six seats. There are 13 independents who have won the NA seats.
If the PTI obtains support of the GDA, MQM-P, PML-Q and the Awami Muslim League, the number of its seats will become 122 — still 15 short of the required numbers, which is more than the independents who have won the elections.
Other parties which will have representation in the NA are the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) with three members, and Jamhoori Watan Party, Awami National Party and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaniyat with one seat each.
Though the PPP and the PML-N have also rejected the elections results, sources in the two parties told Dawn that they would not support the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA)’s call for boycotting the oath-taking session of the National Assembly.
“We have decided to play the role of an aggressive opposition in parliament,” said a senior PML-N leader who had participated in the MMA-convened multiparty conference in Islamabad on Friday.
A senior leader of the PPP said so far they had not finalised any strategy for the elections of key parliamentary offices.
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari yesterday formed a committee to engage with political parties to discuss the way forward in the post-poll scenario.
The sources said contact had been established between the PPP.
