Forests Encroachments 

 

The extent of encroachments in forests is to be blamed for the state of affairs prevalent in Jammu and Kashmir for a long time. As per the details provided by the forest department in J&K high court, thousands of kanals of the forest land stand encroached across Jammu and Kashmir.

Observing the gravity of the issue, the common top court of the J&K and Ladakh has directed that no other forum other than the court shall take any cognizance of any issue with regard to any claim or any matter associated with the encroachment of the forest land. The order aims to prevent any deferring of the process of retrieval of the public land through any temporary relief, reprieve, stay, or any type of deferring of the process of retrieval of the public land.

The concerned Departments have been resorting to delays, avoidance, deferment, and all sorts of protraction in providing details of the encroachers. However amid the court’s consistent directions pertaining to Jammu, a report comprising 3000 pages containing the list of encroachers have been filed and it would prevent any chance of tampering with of the list of identified persons by the Forest Department.

Recently, the court while hearing a Public Interest Litigation in Kashmir directed the authorities to provide details of the state and forest land in Gulmarg as well the details of the land encroached and particulars of those who have eaten up the precious land.  Apart from locals, a major junk of the land is stated, through official or unofficial data, to be under encroachment of the politicians and other influential persons or VIPs.

One can confidently say that the encroachment of large the scale of land could have not been possible without the active connivance of the authorities in the Revenue and Forest departments as well the patronage of political influence. The encroachment of the forests has already led to a severe impact on the fragile ecology of the J&K and its wildlife.

The administration needs to act fast and started the process to retrieve the land without even waiting for the explicit direction by the court. The government is custodial of the land and it ought to take all measures to retrieve it. There is also a need for conservation and preservation of the forests for the immediate present and future generations.

Setting up of ITC Pampore: Administrative inertia led to blocking of funds, unfruitful expenditure, reveals CAG Report

 

Ibni Maqbool

Srinagar, Sep 29: In a glaring instance of administrative inertia, the government’s failure to set up International Trade Centre at Pampore has resulted in blocking of Rs 3.94 crore for more than a decade and Rs 1.06 crore “unfruitful” expenditure.

The revelations have been made by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in its report over the functioning of Public Sector Undertakings(PSUs) in J&K.

According to the report, a copy of which is in possession of Precious Kashmir, J&K government’s failure to take timely action for setting up of ITC at Pampore resulted in blocking of Rs 3.94 crore for around ten years.

It has also pointed out that the expenditure of Rs 1.06 incurred on fencing of land and payment of registration fee was rendered unfruitful due to delay in establishing the facility.

In December 2008, the Government of India released Rs five crore as the first installment of the project to the State Industrial Development Corporation Limited (SIDCO) for setting up the facility.

The funds were retained by the Corporation for around two years and transferred to the bank account of Managing Director, Handicrafts Department in January 2011 after the Government of India sought utilization certificates.

Out of the funds released, the audit scrutiny reveals that an amount of Rs 1.01 crore was advanced to R&B department between September 2012 to January 2016 for construction of fencing around the land identified for the project and an expenditure Rs 0.05 crore incurred for obtaining license under the Companies Act 2013.

 

According to documents, the work on the project couldn’t be taken up due to multiple reasons, although the land measuring 371 kanals was transferred in favour of Director Handicrafts for establishment of ITC way back in 2004.

The documents further reveal that Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under Companies Act 1956 for managing its activities was constituted only in April 2012 and the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project was prepared in January 2014.

The project works could not be taken up as the decision with regard to identification of executing agency between SICOP and JKPCC and finalisation of the DPRs was not taken.

“ It was stated in September 2017 that revised DPR had been submitted to India Trade Promotion Office (ITPO) for technical vetting but the approval was awaited,” reads the CAG report.

In its reply to CAG in October 2018, Director Finance, Industries and Commerce Department stated that the amount was retained by SIDCO for less than two years and it was transferred to Directorate of Handicrafts on the basis of their assurance that formal registration of SPV would be done within weeks.

“However, the fact remains that despite availability of funds, the envisaged facility has not been established which has resulted in blocking of funds and unfruitful expenditure,” concludes the report.

EMIs return after 6 month moratorium, interest accumulates

Afaq Bhat
Srinagar, Sep 29: As the moratorium on bank loans ended on August 31 and financial institutions started deducting Easy Monthly Installments (EMIs), the borrowers have started to feel the pinch.
It may be recalled that as the country went into the lockdown mode to trim the spread of COVID-19 earlier this year, the Reserve Bank of India on March 27 this year had allowed a moratorium for all banks for three months on payment of all installments due between March 1 and May 31. The RBI had further allowed the banks to extend the moratorium till August 31, but had cautioned against the health of the bank sector.
The RBI had made clear that moratorium will be applicable only on EMIs and the borrowers will have to pay the interest and it won’t be waived off.
A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court to seek waiver of interest during the lockdown period as everyone’s income has been hit in the country. The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to draft a plan on loan moratorium quickly and fixed October 5 as the next date of hearing.
A businessman from Kashmir while talking to Precious Kashmir said, “Business activities in the Valley have been hit for the past one year after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019. Kashmir’s economy is in dire straits. We have no idea about what the future holds for us.”
He said, “We have been requesting the financial institutions to give us some relief as interest on the loans which we had taken has accumulated manifolds. We haven’t earned anything during the past one year. We have no idea about how to clear our debts.”
The businessman said, “During the past one year many shops and agencies dealing with various products have downed their shutters. Thousands of people working in the private sector have lost their jobs and livelihood. Economy cannot get revived till the government intervenes.”
He said, “If the government really wants to infuse new life into J&K’s economy besides announcing a special package for the business houses, it needs to bear the interest component which has accumulated. The foundation of naya J&K cannot be laid on the basis of the weak economy.”
An economist said, “The Supreme Court’s intervention is a welcome move but it appears that the Centre has no plan to intervene as if the government decides to waive of the interest component it can lead to closure of many banks. Let’s see what reply Centre files on October 5, i.e. the next date of hearing.”

 

India rejects China’s interpretation o LAC in Ladakh

 

New Delhi, Sep 29: India today said it comprehensively rejects Chinese claims on the location of the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, with a reminder that the 1959 claim made by Beijing was not mutually agreed upon. Both nations “committed to clarification and confirmation of the LAC to reach a common understanding” and the Chinese side’s assertion that there is only one LAC, is contrary to the “solemn commitments” it made, the foreign ministry said today.
The Indian position has been consistent and well known to the Chinese side, the ministry said.

Till 2003, the two sides had also engaged in an exercise to clarify and confirm the LAC, “but this process could not proceed further as the Chinese side did not show a willingness to pursue it”, the ministry said.

The ministry’s comments came after a news report on a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement regarding Beijing’s position on the LAC, the de facto border between the two nations. In the statement, China had quoted the 1959 understanding, which has been consistently rejected by New Delhi.

The disagreement on the LAC in the western sector started with a letter written to then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru by his Chinese counterpart Zhou Enlai in 1959. In it, the description of the LAC was given in general terms and was not defined to scale.

The different perceptions about the LAC were at the bottom of the repeated flare-ups at the border where “the Chinese and Indian perceptions of LAC overlap”, Union minister Rajnath Singh had told the Lok Sabha earlier this month.

To ensure peace and tranquility, the two countries concluded a number of agreements and protocols, he had told the Lok Sabha in a statement following the months-long face-off in Ladakh which spiked in June with a clash at Galwan Valley in which 20 soldiers died in action.

 

“Under these agreements, the two sides have agreed to maintain peace and tranquility along the LAC without prejudice to their respective positions on the alignment of the LAC as well as on the boundary question. It is on this basis, that our overall relations also saw considerable progress since 1988,” the minister had said.

Following the recent face-offs in Ladakh that started in May, India has accused China of “attempts to transgress the LAC (to) unilaterally alter the status quo”. India has also urged China to “refrain from untenable unilateral interpretation of the LAC”.

No war, no peace’ status, says IAF chief

 

Srinagar, Sep 29: The present security scenario along our northern frontiers is at an uneasy “no war no peace” status, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said on Tuesday, referring to the prolonged border row with China in eastern Ladakh.

In an address at a conference, Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria said the Indian Air Force has responded to the situation with rapidity and is fully resolved to counter any “misadventure” in the region.

“The present security scenario along our northern frontiers is at an uneasy no war no peace status. Our defence forces are prepared for any eventuality as you are aware,” the Chief of Air Staff said.

Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria said the recent induction of Rafale jets along with previous acquisitions of C-17 Globemaster aircraft as well as Chinook and Apache helicopters have provided the IAF with substantial tactical and strategic capability enhancement.

“Air power will be a crucial enabler in our victory in any future conflict. It is, therefore, imperative that IAF obtains and maintains technological edge over our adversaries,” he said at the conference on energising the Indian aerospace industry.

Five French-made multi-role Rafale fighter jets were inducted into the IAF on September 10. The fleet has been carrying out sorties in eastern Ladakh in the last couple of weeks.

The IAF chief also said that the raising of two squadrons of light combat aircraft Tejas and integration of some indigenous weapons on Su-30 MKI combat jets in a very reduced time frame have been the “most promising” development, reflecting the country”s capabilities to develop indigenous military hardware.
