New Delhi, Dec 2: In relation to the purported graft brought to light by former governor of Jammu and Kashmir Satya Pal Malik in the course of awarding the contract for the Rs 2,200-crore civil work for the Kiru Hydro Power Project in Kishtwar in 2019, the CBI is reportedly conducting searches at six locations across four cities, officials said on Saturday. According to them, there have been three separate places where searches have taken place, including the homes of D P Singh and Kanwaljeet Singh Duggal of Mainstream IT Solutions Private Limited. The operation is covering three of the company's and Duggal's locations in Delhi, as well as one each in Shimla, Noida, and Chandigarh, according to the officials.The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) revealed that this is the fourth wave of searches in the case; they had previously conducted similar operations on April 21, July 6, and May 17 of this year. In August 23, 2018, Malik, who held the office of governor of Jammu and Kashmir until October 30, 2019, claimed to have received an offer of Rs 300 crore in exchange for clearing two files, one of which was related to the project. "The case was filed on charges of wrongdoing in the contract awarding Kiru Hydro Electric Power Project (HEP) civil works worth about Rs 2,200 crore to a private company in 2019," the CBI had previously stated.The agency has made reservations for former officials M S Babu, M K Mittal, Arun Kumar Mishra, and Patel Engineering Limited, as well as former chairman of Chenab Valley Power Projects (Private) Limited Navin Kumar Chaudhary. Chaudhary is an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer from the Jammu and Kashmir cadre (now the AGMUT cadre), having joined in 1994. "Even though the 47th board meeting of Chenab Valley Power Projects (P) Ltd) decided to cancel the ongoing tendering process and re-tender through e-tendering with reverse auction, the 48th board meeting decided to do the same thing, and Patel Engineering Limited was ultimately awarded the tender," the FIR claims.

NEW DELHI, Dec 2: In order to expand the women's reservation law's provisions to the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry, the Government has scheduled two bills for introduction during the winter session of Parliament. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal stated that Delhi, a Union Territory, was included in the women's reservation law that was approved by Parliament in September because of a clause in the Constitution. In response to a query during an all-party meeting called by the government prior to the meeting, Meghwal stated that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry do not currently have any provisions in place to extend the legal provisions. He explained, "That is why separate bills after discussion."The Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2023 has been scheduled by the government for introduction, discussion, and eventual passing in the upcoming session that starts on Monday. It aims to introduce into the Puducherry Legislative Assembly clauses granting women reservations. Similarly, a third of the seats in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly are intended to be set aside for women under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023. Even though Jammu and Kashmir has a provision for a legislative assembly, the Union Territory is now governed by President's Rule.The women's reservation bill, formally known as the Constitution (106th Amendment) Act, aims to grant women 33% of the seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. "It shall come into force on such date as the central government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, appoint," states its provision. In September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the bill as "Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam" during a special session of Parliament. The Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha both passed the Constitution amendment measure with near-unanimity.The next census and the ensuing delimitation exercise, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies, will determine the specific seats being set aside for women, so it will be some time before the law is put into effect. For a period of fifteen years, the Lok Sabha and assembly quota for women will be in effect. Afterward, Parliament may decide to prolong the benefit period.

Srinagar, Dec 2: Omar Abdullah, the leader of the National Conference (NC), claimed on Saturday that by commemorating the day of Nagaland Statehood, Raj Bhavan was "rubbing salt in to the wounds" of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. An official statement said that the Nagaland Statehood Day was celebrated on Friday at the Raj Bhawan in Jammu, fostering the spirit of "Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat" with zeal and excitement.But speaking of another state's statehood day celebration, Abdullah said that irony dies in Jammu and Kashmir because the region's union territory day was observed after it was demoted from a state. "In J&K, Irony meets his demise. In Jammu, we commemorate Nagaland Statehood Day at Raj Bhavan, but in J&K, we observe "Union Territory Day." Talk about adding salt to the people's wounds here, wrote Abdullah, the former J-K chief minister, in a post on X. On August 5, 2019, the Centre revoked Article 370 of the Constitution, dividing Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories: J-K and Ladakh. On October 31, the J.K. administration observed Union Territory Day.

New Delhi, Dec 2: Following raids against two former Punjab forest ministers, Congressmen Sadhu Singh Dharamsot and Sangat Singh Giljian, and others as part of an alleged money laundering investigation related to the forest scam, the ED confiscated "incriminating" papers, cell phones, and other electronic devices. In a statement released on Friday, the federal inquiry agency stated that, among other things, it is looking into allegations of "bribery" in the state forest department against the granting of a permission for tree cutting and for transfer/posting within the department.According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the raids took place on November 30 in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi at the homes of Dharamsot, Giljian, and their colleagues as well as some private citizens and forest authorities. The Punjab Vigilance Bureau detained Dharamsot (63), a five-time MLA, early this year in connection with a case involving allegations of having disproportionate assets. Giljian has served as the district of Hoshiarpur's MLA for the Urmar seat.The Punjab Vigilance Bureau's FIR served as the basis for the money laundering case, which was brought under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, according to the organisation. The first information report said that there were supposed irregularities in the forest department and that certain ministers and department officers had accepted bribes in exchange for permits to fell Khair trees, be transferred or posted within the department, receive a NOC from the department, and buy tree guards. Numerous damning documents, cell phones, and digital devices were found during the search operations, according to the ED. These items appear to have shown "suspicious transactions" involving people who are being investigated.
