Dalit Bandhu: Model Code of Conduct Affects Dalit Bandhu and Bathukamma Saris

Model Code of Conduct Affects Dalit Bandhu:

The enforcement of the model code of conduct for the upcoming state Assembly elections has impacted the implementation of two significant state government schemes: Bandhu and the distribution of Bathukamma saris. Several district collectors have reported that they have halted the progress of these schemes.

The distribution of Bathukamma saris, scheduled for the upcoming Bathukamma festival starting on October 14, has been affected. The government had allocated 1.02 crore saris for distribution, with around 50% of them dispatched to distribution centers before the suspension.

Similarly, the second phase of the Dalit Bandhu scheme has also been put on hold, and officials are not accepting new beneficiaries. This decision followed complaints by members of Congress, including Uttam Kumar Reddy, to the Election Commission of India (ECI), requesting the suspension of these schemes due to the model code of conduct in effect.

In response to these complaints, the ECI instructed all district collectors to investigate the distribution of Bathukamma saris and the Dalit Bandhu scheme and provide a report. Many district collectors reported to the ECI that they had suspended the government schemes.

A district collector mentioned that they had ceased Dalit Bandhu proceedings and instructed officials not to issue any orders or upload applications on that day.

Assam Cabinet Approves Rs 3,000 Crore Economic Corridor

Assam Cabinet Approves Rs 3,000 Crore Economic Corridor:

The Assam cabinet has unveiled an ambitious plan to establish a 1,000-kilometer-long economic corridor, with an investment of Rs 3,000 crore. State Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah announced that the cabinet has granted its approval for this project under the Asom Mala Scheme.

In addition to this, the Assam Cabinet has also given the green light to projects totaling Rs 950 crore aimed at enhancing rural infrastructure. These funds will be secured from NABARD in the form of a loan and will be utilized to upgrade 90 rural roads and four rural bridges managed by the Public Works Department.

Furthermore, the state cabinet, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has implemented cost-saving measures for cabinet meetings, capping the expenditure at Rs 5 lakh. It has also discouraged the initiation of any new repair work for circuit houses and inspection bungalows for such meetings, given that cabinet meetings are conducted in various district headquarters.

The cabinet meeting locations for the coming months have been decided, with meetings scheduled for November and December to be held in Tinsukia and North Lakhimpur districts, respectively, while the January meeting will take place in Nagaon.

Moreover, the cabinet has approved a revised draft notification to declare an eco-sensitive zone within a 1 km radius around the Bherjan-Borajan-Padumoni Wildlife Sanctuary in Tinsukia, in accordance with a directive from the Supreme Court.

CM Jagan Stresses Protection of AP’s Krishna Waters Rights

CM Jagan Stresses Protection of AP’s Krishna Waters Rights:

During the meeting, concerns were raised about how these developments were harmful to the state’s interests.

Officials pointed out that the guidelines outlined in the State Apportionment Act are being violated by the notification issued by the Central government, which is in direct contravention of the State Reorganisation Act, particularly Section 89.

They emphasized that the AP Reorganisation Act originally required states to adhere to the allocations made prior to the state’s bifurcation, but these allocations are currently being disregarded.

The gazette notification was released despite numerous pending petitions before the Supreme Court, a move that officials believe goes against Class 4 of the Inter-State River Disputes Act.

According to the law, tribunal allocations and transfers made before 2002 should not be re-evaluated, as noted by officials.

Officials argued that considering Andhra Pradesh‘s allocation of water from Polavaram to another basin in the Godavari River, it is not reasonable to demand additional allocations from the Krishna River to Telangana, as this would result in a loss for the state.

The Chief Minister Jagan instructed the officials to do everything in their power to safeguard the state’s interests and made it clear that there could be no compromise in this regard. Additionally, in response to the publication of the KWDT-2 guidelines in the gazette, the CM Jagan directed officials to send letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to address the issue.
