Punjab officer tries to stop farm fire, farmers make him burn stubble

editor November 5, 2023

CHANDIGARH: A government official who was part of a team to prevent farm fires was halted by some farmers in Bathinda, and the farmers forced him to burn a pile of stubble. This led to the Punjab Police opening a case against the farmers. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann released a video on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, denouncing the farmers' actions, which led to the incident's discovery. According to Bhagwant Mann, the incident was "intolerable" and the government official had gone to the fields to persuade farmers not to burn the paddy straw, but the "mobsters" forced him to light the straw with a matchstick. Two farmers can be seen in the video holding the official's hand and forcing him to light his stubble with a matchstick.Gulneet Singh Khurana, the senior superintendent of police in Bathinda, stated that following the incident's viral social media footage, the police filed a case against the farmers. He said that in order to apprehend these farmers, the police are looking for them. Showkat Ahmad Parray, the deputy commissioner for Bathinda, stated on Saturday that he had written to the SSP to file a formal complaint against the farmers for impeding the official's ability to carry out his duties. Parray claimed that the official was taken to a nearby field and made to set fire to a mound of stubble by a group of 50–60 farmers who were loyal to a farmers' association. "What choice did he (the official) have when he was mobbed? DC Parray said, "He was left with no choice. "I'm going to the village personally, too. We're not going to let it go. We will not put up with lawlessness," declared the DC. The burning of paddy straw in Punjab and Haryana is a primary cause of the concerning increase in Delhi's air pollution during the months of October and November. Based on data from the Punjab Remote Sensing Centre, 12,813 stubble-burning incidences have been documented in Punjab as of Friday.

Mayor launches 3 Apps to weed out corruption from JMC

editor November 4, 2023

JAMMU: In a significant move to eradicate corruption inside the Urban Local Body (ULB), Jammu Mayor Rajinder Sharma introduced three smartphone applications on Friday. His initial app, called "My Jammu," allows users to check the city's building permit for each JMC Ward. The Mayor of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) stated during a function in this regard that the App will also make it easier to check the status of building permission breaches and to file concerns against them. The concerned inspectors, enforcement officials, chief enforcement officers, Joint Commissioner R&E, Commissioner, Rajinder Sharma informed, will all oversee this system internally. If the previous notice's response is still not satisfactory, a 7-3 notice should be sent out three days after the 7-1 notice. An 8-1 notice to seal the complex is issued if the 7-3 notice is not sent. "However, there was misconduct occurring, and because their hands were tied, the law enforcement officials did not issue 7-3 notifications. The Mayor stated that since the system is now online, concerned officers are required to issue notices of 7-3 after 7-1. She also added that this development would substantially stop harassment of the people and hold the officers accountable. Sharma stated that this will serve as yet another effective measure to guarantee "Imandar Jammu and Shandar Jammu."According to Rajinder Sharma, a second online grievance redressal platform has been launched. According to him, the mobile app contains a feature for collecting revenue. Prior to the online payment system, JMC employees would issue payment receipts. A person who paid Rs. 500 would receive a receipt for Rs. 300, resulting in the theft of Rs. 200, the Mayor stated. This will stop wrongdoing and realise PM Modi's goal of cashless transactions. The mayor declared that he had ended the culture of corruption and ensured accountability and openness with these three major breakthroughs.
