Is crop insurance scheme big scam, asks Thackeray after interacting with farmers
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday attacked the Eknath Shinde government and wondered if the crop insurance scheme was a "big scam" because firms had been paid several crore rupees as premium but farmers were not getting benefits, reported news agency PTI. Several parts of the state received unseasonal rains recently, leading to extensive damage to crops and distress to farmers. Talking to reporters after meeting farmers in Hingoli district, Uddhav Thackeray said the state government must waive farm loans the way he did when he was CM between 2019 and 2022, reported PTI. "I wonder if the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana is a big scam," Uddhav Thackeray said, reported PTI. He said after the state government announced crop insurance for farmers for just Re 1, while their premium would be paid by farmers, the number of farmers in the state insuring their crops rose from 90 lakh to 1.75 crore, reported PTI. "The state government has paid farmers' share of Rs 8,000 crore. In whose pocket did the money go through these insurance companies? This is taxpayers' money," he asked. Insurance company offices are shut, they don't answer phone calls, they don't listen to the government or face farmers, he alleged, reported PTI. Uddhav Thackeray sought to know to what extent the claims of farmers had been cleared by insurance companies. Earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday hit out at Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde over his visit to neighbouring Telangana for poll campaigning while farmers in his home state suffered crop losses due to unseasonal rains. Reacting to the criticism, Shinde said the state government has taken cognisance of the losses, and 'those who ran the government through Facebook Live' should not preach to others. Speaking at a news conference, Thackeray demanded that a cabinet meeting be held immediately to discuss crop losses due to the rains in the last four-five days, and farmers be given assistance at the earliest. Six people lost lives due to rain-related incidents while 100 cattle also perished, the former chief minister said. Grape growers and onion farmers in particular were hit hard, he said, asking what did the state cabinet do after the weather department gave an advance warning of unseasonal showers. Preliminary information suggested that crops over nearly one lakh hectares in Marathwada, Vidarbha and north Maharashtra were affected, Thackeray said. "There is no government in Maharashtra as everyone is busy campaigning. It is time to change the government," the Sena (UBT) chief added. "A person who does not bother about his own house and goes to another state to campaign for another party is not fit to run a government and he has no right to be in power," he added.

BMC to attempt cloud seeding to curb pollution through rain; invites bids
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday invited Global Expression of Interest (GEOI) for initiating a cloud seeding program for artificial rain to combat air pollution in Mumbai, reported news agency PTI. The deputy chief engineer (civil) of the BMC's environment department invited GEOI for running a cloud seeding program, reported PTI. Reputed firms which have experience of undertaking cloud seeding in the last three years can submit their bids before December 14, the BMC said in a newspaper advertisement, reported PTI. Cloud seeding is a technique aimed at enhancing the probability of rain, reported PTI. A civic official told PTI that the selected firm will be appointed for three years. It will undertake cloud seeding whenever air pollution spikes in the city and the situation is favourable for such an attempt, reported PTI. After receiving expressions of interest, the BMC will call for financial offers from the interested firms, reported PTI. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had recently directed the civic body to give the artificial rain technique a shot as a way of mitigating air pollution in the country's financial capital. The air quality in the city deteriorated sharply in the last two months, reported PTI. Shinde had then said that the civic body had already approached a Dubai-based company, reported PTI. Meanwhile, a thick blanket of haze hovered over Mumbai on Friday affecting the visibility while the air quality dipped to 'moderate' again after a minor relief. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) on Friday morning was at 112 around 9 am, according to the data collated SAMEER App. Several areas across the city, too, reported 'moderate' air quality with a handful of exceptions that still reported 'satisfactory' air quality. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Powai, Vile Parle, Borivali, Worli, Colaba, Chakala, Bhandup, Mulund, Bandra Kurla Complex, Kherwadi and Byculla reported 'satisfactory' air quality. Both Mulund and BKC recorded an AQI of 96 while Kherwadi was at 95. Bhandup and Powai's AQI stood at 90. Vile Parle recorded an AQI of 93 and Chakala's AQI stood at 91. The air quality in Thane also dipped on Friday. The city recorded an AQI of 148 putting its air quality in 'moderate' category. Meanwhile, Navi Mumbai recorded an AQI of 160. While Nerul node's air quality was 'satisfactory', Taloja, Mahape and Vashi recorded 'moderate' air quality. However, Kalamboli recorded 'poor' air quality with an AQI of 215. An AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', 401 and 450 'severe' and above 450 'severe-plus'. Meanwhile, the state government is still mulling over lasting solutions to the persistent air pollution issue after this year's post-monsoon spike. (With inputs from PTI)

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has so far signed MOUs worth Rs 1,37,000 crore, mostly with big industries, he said. He further said big projects were coming up in Gadchiroli and a small-scale industry would be set up in the district, for which 5,000 acres of land would be acquired. The PM Vishwakarma scheme will be implemented in Maharashtra in a mission mode and this would go a long way in creating small industries in every household, he said, adding that the Centre has sanctioned Rs 500 crore for the same.

Ajit Pawar says protests were organised for Sharad Pawar to reverse resignation
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar on Friday said that when Sharad Pawar announced his resignation as party chief in May, some leaders were asked to organise protests demanding that he rescind the decision, reported news agency PTI. Speaking at the party's Vichar Manthan meeting at Karjat in Raigad district, Ajit Pawar termed the resignation episode as a nautanki (farce), reported PTI. "Jitendra Awhad and Anand Paranjpe (NCP leaders) were called (by Sharad Pawar) and told to organise demonstrations asking for his resignation to be taken back," he said, reported PTI. "Paranjpe later came to me and I asked him why you are doing this nautanki. My view was that this was not needed. I hadn't asked for his (Sharad Pawar) resignation," Ajit Pawar said, reported PTI. Soon after announcing at an event in Mumbai on May 2 that he will quit as NCP president, Sharad Pawar had rescinded the decision, stating that he respected the "strong sentiments" his decision had evoked among the party cadre and leaders across the country. Ajit Pawar, who joined Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra on July 2, said that the Sharad Pawar-led faction had been reaching out for a patch-up. Such a meeting was organised on August 12 at businessman Atul Chordia's Pune home, he added, reported PTI. "If you didn't like our decision (of joining the Shinde-led state government), then why did you call us for a meeting," Ajit Pawar said, reported PTI. Ajit Pawar also declared that his faction will contest the Baramati Lok Sabha seat, reported PTI. Sharad Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule, who represents Baramati constituency in Lok Sabha, welcomed her cousin's announcement, saying, , reported PTI.I have always been of the opinion that somebody should contest against me", reported PTI. On former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh's claim that he has been given 'supari' (contract) by the BJP to end the political career of NCP founder Sharad Pawar, Ajit Pawar said Deshmukh remained with the group led by Sharad Pawar as he would have been sans a ministerial berth had he switched sides. Ajit Pawar also said it was an appropriate time for holding a detailed discussion on the Uniform Civil Code and population control, reported PTI. Pointing out that the Opposition I-N-D-I-A bloc has not even been able to finalise its leader, Ajit Pawar sought to know how they can run the government when India has a leader like Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has given stability to the country, reported PTI. "There are misconceptions about the Uniform Civil Code among backward classes, tribals, Dalits that it will affect reservation. No, it won't happen. I think that it is time to have a detailed discussion on the Uniform Civil Code," he said, reported PTI. "It is also time to have a law on birth control as only two children should be allowed for a couple. If we do not do this now, our natural resources are not going to be enough for us. If Narendra Modi ji wants to bring in a law, he should," Ajit Pawar said. (With inputs from PTI)

Court grants bail to Datta Dalvi held for 'objectionable' remark against Maha CM
A court in Mumbai on Friday granted bail to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former city mayor Datta Dalvi, two days after he was arrested for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, reported news agency PTI. His bail plea was allowed by Metropolitan Magistrate (Mulund court) M R Washimkar after it heard arguments from both defence and prosecution, reported PTI. In the bail application, filed through advocate Sundeep Singh, Dalvi claimed that he was "innocent and falsely implicated" in the case, reported PTI. He has not played any role in the alleged offence, the plea said, reported PTI. The accused has been in custody since the day of his arrest and police's investigation is almost over. Hence, no purpose will be served by keeping him in custody, it added, reported PTI. Dalvi was arrested by the city police on Wednesday for the alleged objectionable remark against CM Shinde, reported PTI. During their probe, the police found that a meeting was organised on Sunday by the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) in suburban Bhandup, where Dalvi allegedly made some objectionable remarks against CM Shinde, reported PTI. On that basis, a first information report (FIR) was registered against Dalvi under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 153 (a) (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc), 153 (b) (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), reported PTI. The rival factions of the Shiv Sena led by Thackery and Shinde are at daggers drawn since the party split in June 2022. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday slammed the Eknath-Shinde-led NDA government in Maharashtra after police arrested former Mayor of Mumbai Datta Dalvi for allegedly using "objectionable" language against the Maharashtra Chief Minister, reported news agency ANI. Asked whether the arrest of Datta Dalvi was a reaction to Uddhav Thackeray's reported "Nalayak" remark against the Chief Minister, Raut said, "If he (Uddhav Thackeray) called him (Eknath Shinde) "nalayak," what wrong did he say?" "Is there censorship in this country? Is there a dictatorship or an emergency?...It is not an unparliamentary word..." "Calling him (Eknath Shinde) ''Hinduhrdayamrat" is an insult to Veer Savarkar and Balasaheb Thackeray. For this insult, an FIR should be registered against him (Shinde)...Datta Dalvi objected to the remark..." he added. He also mentioned that State Agriculture Minister Abdul Sattar "abused" NCP MP Supriya Sule, Narayan Rane and "his Nepali son." "No action was taken against them but against our leader," Raut added. Raut further alleged, "No matter how many atrocities you commit against us, you all will go to jail in 2024." (With inputs from PTI and ANI)

SEBI required to act in public interest: Bombay HC raps regulatory body
The Securities and Exchange Board of India is required to act in the public interest, the Bombay High Court said on Friday castigating the regulatory body for not complying with an order passed by the court in October. A division bench of Justices G S Kulkarni and Jitendra Jain said such an approach by the SEBI would cause a dent in the confidence reposed in the public body by investors. The HC had in October directed the SEBI to provide certain probe documents to the minority shareholders of a company. The company and the SEBI challenged this order in the Supreme Court, which dismissed the appeals in November. The petitioners are minority shareholders of Bharat Nidhi Limited and had made various complaints to SEBI accusing the company of violation of securities laws. The SEBI had then initiated investigations into the same, issued a show cause notice to the company and later passed a settlement order, which has now been revoked. The petitioners' case is that neither the investigation report nor any relevant documents were supplied to them. The petitioners alleged that the investigation being done by the SEBI was a farce.The SEBI on Friday told HC that since the settlement order has been revoked, nothing survives in the present petitions. The bench, however, said there has been "persistent" non-compliance of the order passed by the court and said this was "too far to be imagined and totally unacceptable". "SEBI is a public body, it is required to act in public interest, it needs to comply with the orders passed by this Court," HC said. The court said it was constrained to make such remarks as it was quite "astonished" by the stand taken by the SEBI in the present case. "Such approach of the SEBI, in our opinion, would cause a dent to the confidence the investors would repose in the SEBI, which needs to function solely to further the object and purpose, for which it is created by the Parliament," the bench said. The court added that to its mind, SEBI has resorted to all possible efforts to not comply with its order and "this does not appear to be meaningless". "However, it is quite intriguing to note the approach of the SEBI, as clearly seen from the events which had transpired, and from the obstinate stand taken by the SEBI in not furnishing the documents to the petitioners," HC said. The bench said now that the settlement order has been revoked, the SEBI would adjudicate the show cause notice issued to the company expeditiously. The bench said the petitioners need to be provided with the documents and directed the SEBI to forthwith comply with its order.
