Controversy Over Closure of Cement plants in Barmana and Darlaghat Reached the High Court

The-dispute-over-the-closure-of-the-cement-plant-reached-the-High-Court

The dispute over the closure of cement plants in Barmana and Darlaghat has reached the High Court. Petitioner Rajneesh Sharma has challenged the decision of M/s Adani Group to close the cement plant.

During the hearing of the matter on Tuesday, the court found some errors in the petition. The petitioner withdrew the petition and requested to file it again.

A division bench of Chief Justice AA Syed and Justice Jyotsna Rewal Dua allowed the petitioner to file the petition again.

It was alleged in the petition that M/s Adani Group suddenly closed both the plants. Lives of thousands of families associated with this business have been played with.

4,000 trucks were engaged in cement transportation at Barmana Cement Plant. Similarly, in Darlaghat too, 3,500 families depended on cement transportation. All these trucks are now standing on the road, due to which traffic jam also persists.

Truck operators as well as mechanics, dhabas, petrol pumps etc. have suffered direct losses due to the closure of the cement plant. M/s Adani Group had bought both these cement plants last year itself and had promised to provide employment to the local people.

Also assured to work for the welfare of the state. But within a year Adani Group locked both the cement plants. All those families who have given their agricultural land to set up the plant are dependent on cement transportation.

Such people have spent a huge amount to buy the truck. It has also become difficult to repay the loan installment due to the closure of the plant.

Before closing both the cement plants, the Adani Group neither gave one month’s notice to the state government nor informed the labor department about the closure of the plants as per rules.

Not only this, Himachal Pradesh is a cement producing state, but the cost of cement is high as compared to other states.

To Strengthen the Intelligence System on the Border, Himachal Police will Learn Chinese language

Himachal Pradesh Police personnel will be taught Tibetan and Chinese languages. Special training will also be given to the jawans to strengthen the intelligence system on the India-China border.

Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti districts share a 240 km border with China. Around 48 villages are located near the international border, of which 36 fall in Kinnaur, which shares a border of 160 km, while the remaining 12 villages are in Lahaul-Spiti, which shares a border of 80 km with China.

Four police posts will be set up in the border areas of Chitkul, Namgya and Chango in Kinnaur and Sumdo in Lahaul-Spiti district. For this, the state government has also sent a proper proposal to the central government.

The police posts will not only fulfill the long pending demand of the public but also reduce the growing threat along the India-China border.

An analysis by the team of seven IPS officers who visited the border villages and the international border found that the population of these villages was dwindling due to lack of economic opportunities and only old women were left in most of the border villages.

Remote and isolated villages are being developed in Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti districts along the China border. In the last two years, the infrastructure on the India-China border has been strengthened, in which road facilities and air defense systems, communication facilities, intelligence systems have been strengthened.

11,000 Animals Died Due to Lumpy Former Government had Announced Compensation of Rs 30,000

Due to Lumpi, 11 thousand animals have died in the state, but the cattle herders have not got any relief from the government. Although the previous government had announced a compensation of Rs 30,000 for the death of a cow to the cattle rearers, but not even a single rupee has been received.

The cattle rearers have raised a demand from the new government that the cattle rearer whose animals have died due to Lumpy virus, should be provided relief from the government.

According to the daily report released by the Animal Husbandry Department, 1,38,573 animals in the state have been infected due to lumpy virus.

At the same time, 4,66,858 animals have been vaccinated across the state by the Animal Husbandry Department.

Lumpi is spread over Shimla, Kangra, Sirmaur, Una, Mandi, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Kullu, Solan and Chamba districts. There are no cases of Lumpi in Lahaul-Spiti and Kinnaur so far. Director of Animal Husbandry Department Dr. Pradeep Sharma said that the weaker animals are more prone to dying.

There are still 9272 active cases of lumpy virus in Himachal. The former Animal Husbandry Minister had talked about giving compensation of Rs 30,000 to the cattle herders under the State Disaster Management Act, but due to non-declaration of an epidemic, the cattle herders did not get the compensation.

Although the government had raised a demand with the central government to declare Lumpi virus as an epidemic, but neither Lumpi was declared as an epidemic nor the cattle herders got compensation.

Government should Restore the Recruitment of JBT, The Union Demanded Relief From CM Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu

In the Education Department of Himachal Pradesh, the demand for starting JBT commission and recruitment on batch-wise basis has arisen once again. In this regard, a delegation of JBT met Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and raised the demand to start these recruitments.

In fact, soon after coming to power, the new government had talked about reviewing the decisions of the last six months in all the departments, for which this process of recruitment was also stopped. Now approval will have to be taken from the cabinet of the new government for these recruitments.

The process of JBT Batchwise Recruitment was also started after a lot of effort from the candidates. JBT and B.Ed are currently fighting on commission basis and this matter is in the court, because HP Board had declared B.Ed also eligible for TET exam,

but before this dispute arose, batch-wise recruitment was done on the demand of the candidates. The process of recruitment was started district wise, but now this process of recruitment has stopped.

JBT recruitments could not be done in schools for the last four years and now when the new government will form the cabinet, only after that it will be decided when these recruitments will happen. There are no teachers in the schools of the state to teach pre-primary and primary children for the last four years.

This is directly affecting the education of the children. 3495 posts of JBT i.e. Junior Basic Teacher are vacant in the primary schools of the entire state. In such a situation, these schools are running without primary teachers.

For the last four years, demands are being made to fill the vacant posts in the schools, but till now these posts have not been filled. Most of the posts are vacant in district Kangra. There are 647 vacancies going on here.

Along with this, Mandi is second in vacant posts. In JBT recruitments on commission basis, it is yet to be seen whether BEd people are allowed or not.
