By Dinesh Kamath NAVI MUMBAI: Between the years 2000 and 2004, City and Industrial Development Corporation had come up with the idea of forming a Special Economic Zone within Navi Mumbai. This was called Navi Mumbai SEZ. Navi Mumbai SEZ Private Limited had been appointed as the Special Planning Authority (SPA) under the Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning Act, 1966, for the notified areas in Dronagiri, Kalamboli, Ulwe (Airport) and Ulwe (Waterfront) Nodes of Navi Mumbai. As a Special Planning Authority, NMSEZ had the roles and responsibilities to (i) Formulate Development Control Regulations and Norms; (ii) Control and monitor development / Implementation and enforcement of the Master Plan; (iii) Grant / Officer, stop! When I told you to fire that rioter I meant ‘shout at him’ and not ‘shoot him’. 4 FSI for cluster development The provision applicable for the re-development of dilapidated CIDCO buildings refuse development permission at plot-level and revocation / modification etc.; (iv) Grant / refuse Occupancy Certificate for constructed premises; and (v) such other roles and responsibilities as enumerated in the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. It was CIDCO MD Lakhina and General Manager Suhas Thakar who had hit upon this idea of forming SEZ and CIDCO’s stake was around 26%. Tenders regarding this scheme were called in 2002/03 and letter of indent was issued in February 2004. It was decided that 1900 hectares of land would be given for constructing of SEZ. However, ulti- mately 1842 hectare of plot was granted.

Ltd Cont. on pg. 7 By Chandrashekhar Hendve VASHI: In a significant move, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has offered 4.0 FSI under the cluster developm e n t scheme. The chief minister announced the decision in Legislative Assembly on Thursday. This is interpreted as a pre-election largesse to the city which will be going for civic elections in the next few weeks. Earlier, the government had announced the regular- ization of an estimated 20,000 unauthorised structures, mostly in the gaothans, and also provide piped water to an equal number of slums. All the slums which existed before 1 J a n u a r y, 2000 will be eligible to the benefit. “I have been able to get these provisions cleared through continuous follow up with the government,” said MLA Manda Mhatre who called a press conference to announce the good news. Mathadi union to organize general labour strike on 16 April By Chandrashekhar Hendve VASHI: Maharashtra Rajya Mathadi, transport and General Kamgar Union has called for a wide spread labour strike to protest against the anti-labour laws proposed by the government. The decision was announced at a kamgar melawa held at APMC market on 12 March, 2015. Among the union’s major demands are – 1) Appointment of union representatives on the Mathadi advisory com- mittee 2) Re-organise Matha- CMYK di Mandals and appoint labour representatives on each 3) Regularise Bazar committees and appoint labour representatives on them 4) Apply the provisions of mathadi act to all industrial units 5) Give dearness allowance to labourers listed under the Mathadi board. The congregation ended with a press conference which was addressed by MLC Narendra Patil, MLA Shashikant Shinde, labour leader Baba Adhav and others.

Sena outwits NCP Inaugurates the vegetable market a day before the Mayor was to do so By Vijay Bhor CBD-Belapur: The one-up-man-ship between NCP and Shiv Sena, the two main contenders for power in the city, continues taking bizarre forms at time. This time, it was Shiv Sena which had its way. NMMC has built a vegetable market in Sector-18 Nerul, which falls in the Ward represented by Satish Ramane of Shiv Sena. “I had pursued the authorities for almost three years to get the market built,” says Ra- www.newsband.in Duo selling fake visas lands in police net By Vikram Gaikwad CBD-BELAPUR: Two men selling fake visas to unwary citizens have been rounded up by the crime branch of city police. The accused Aslam Arshad Khan (44) and Venugopal Damodaran Nair (45), were operating as passport agents. Naturally, they were coming in contact with people going abroad. Whenever someone was not able to get his or her visa in time, they were also offering to help him out. Their fame had spread and one of the men who sought their help was a youth from mane. When the market, named after Maasaheb Meenatai Thackeray, was ready, the administration as is its wont made arrangements to get it inaugurated by Mayor Sagar Naik. Before the programme could be announced, Shiv Sainiks got a scent of it. They rushed forward and got it inaugurated by their Shahar Pramukh K N Mhatre on Thursday. Whether the Mayor will still perform the ‘official inauguration’ remains to be seen. NMMC teachers score a naught Not a teacher gets through in the TET conducted by the state By Vikram Gaikwad CBD-BELAPUR: NMMC’s education department, which is used to boasting about the high quality of education it is offering, must be feeling crestfallen. Not a single civic teacher has passed the Teacher Eligibility Test conducted by the government to assess the quality of teachers in the state. Teacher Eligibility Test has been designed to assess the quality of teachers on its pay roll. It is common for teachers from municipal, ZP, 3 aided and unaided schools. And this time, NMMC has sent about 150 of its teachers to appear for it. It has turned out that not a single teacher from NMMC’s ranks has passed the test. That is a bad record for the department which claims credit every time some student comes out with high scores. The success if any should be ascribed to the hard work of the students rather than the good quality of teachers, say observers. CMYK Mazgaon. They agreed to provide a visa to Kuwait and the youth had paid Rs 60,000 for their service. When he examined the visa, however, he learnt that it is a fake one. Aggrieved, he lodged a complaint with Navi Mumbai police. Accordingly, the crime branch started investigation. Learning through their informers that the duo is expected to visit Koperkhairane on Monday, the crime branch team led by API Prithviraj Ghorpade and PSI Bharat Jadhav lay in wait. As the duo arrived, they were round- ed up. A search of their persons showed that they were carrying seven fake visas for Kuwait and a few pass ports. All those who have been cheated by them are requested to contact the police. Police are trying to find out where the two were getting their visas done and which other clients they have sold them. They are also trying to find out which other countries they had prepared visas for. 466 industrial units closed By a staff reporter CBD-Belapur: “Navi Mumbai had 240 industrial units closed in 2008. The figure has risen to 466 in 2015,” said industry minister Subhash Desai the other day. He was replying to question raised by MLA Sandeep Naik in the legislative assembly. “Lack of demand for the products, shortage of working capital, power shortage, non availability of raw materials and increasing competition in the market place are some of the reasons for the closure,” he explained.

In the process they became the only team besides Mumbai to retain the trophy more than once. Karnataka had earlier won the trophy consecutively in 199798 (under Rahul Dravid) and 1998-99 (under Sunil Joshi). Karnataka maintained their unbeaten track record into the final, as they sent the Tamil Nadu fielders on a leather hunt for nearly four days of the five day summit match by scoring 762 runs in the first innings, after bowling them out for 134 on day 1. Their innings was powered by 23 year old Karun Nair’s record-breaking 328 and complemented by Lokesh Rahul’s 188 who have been playing together since they were under-13. Karnataka captain, Vinay Kumar, too lead from the front and contributed with a five-wicket haul in the first innings and followed it up with a century (his sec- Defending champions Karnataka celebrate their eighth Ranji Trophy title.

Vinay Kumar who guided Karnataka to their second Ranji trophy title in a row (eight overall since their maiden one in 1973-74) with an all-round performance in the post match press conference said “The first day and the first innings were crucial in deciding the outcome of the game. I won’t say it was easy. In the first innings we bowled really well and that’s the reason we have got this result. Had they got around 300-350 runs it would have been difficult. They are a good side. They bowled really well but we tackled them well as a batting unit. We were taking it one game at a time and not thinking much about retaining the trophy. Our goal was just to try and win every game that made our goal (journey) easier and this is the result.” About his own performance he further added “For me, the team comes first.

The work has been banned from public viewing for the sole reason that it contains some repugnant comments by the convict, blaming the victim for the rape and murder. The convict said that she could have survived had she not resisted rape. In this documentary, the criminals do accept that they did crime, still our government needs time to decide the fate of this case. This documentary should be broadcast to make people realise the true perspectives and educate them to decide for themselves. Get to the basics and make serious attempts in getting society’s attitude towards young women. The government should send an Indian delegation to the Western countries to find out how Western males and females look at each other and accordingly bring about changes in the way Indian men and women look at each other. Leslee Udwin is not a typical film director or a popular cinema producer but from journalism stream of BBC. She had managed to obtain ‘No objection certification’ letter from Home Ministry and the permission from the Jail authorities. The ban is amateurish and immature. In fact, such remarks and reviews should be brought to light to make the society realise what mindset we Indians are living with. Instead of debating on how to make the streets safe for women and how to empower them, we are debating on banning the film. Leslee Udwin did something which no Indian male or female journalist could do. She went and interviewed the convict. Only when one interviews the culprit you get to see that evil which actually resides in these people. These evils deserve to be eradicated. The documentary all the more justifies the death sentence given to them. The mind set has to change. The government is fighting hard for its country’s embarrassment then for its very own women. Truth is bitter and the country has to face it. If really female dignity was important why is justice being delayed? It’s been more than a year and the culprits are still alive. Udwin has attempted to highlight how the nation sweep down women’s issues and problems perpetrated by the misogynists under the carpet, how the people in power ‘frame charges and fix responsibilities’ and kill freedom of speech. It is a well made film and extremely sensitive to the issue. The parents of Jyoti Singh were involved in the film and the film does bring out their pain and their anguish at the delay in the administration of justice. The parents despite their disadvantages have come across as extremely dignified and unrevengeful. They just want justice. More to the point is what one of the perpetrators’ lawyers said. He said that plenty of those sitting in Parliament are guilty of similar crimes. But they will not be tried. Perhaps that hurts. Hence the ban. The film doesn’t defame India. Yes, the Indian justice system would be offended, when it is pointed out it is sitting on a fast track case for this long. It is abundantly clear from the documentary that those who commit such heinous crimes are not the ones who do any soul searching before or after the crime. This documentary is about as likely to prevent rape as a 9-11 documentary is at preventing future terror attacks. People who want to see positive changes happening in Indian society should not be swayed by emotions. Every right thinking person would agree that Leslee Udwin’s intention behind doing the documentary is not to malign our nation’s image but instead to make the world come together for gender equality. the documentary has to be viewed by the people of the country not with the sense what the convict has to say but with a wider perspective, the various challenges that the Indian societies are victim of. There are some hysterical feminists, who have an anti-male ideology, and want to shame Indian males through bad-mouthing one unfortunate incident. Why the government wants to ban the film? The documentarian is doing quite a bit in starting a dialogue and educating the society by very thought provoking portrayal of all the forces at work here - human emotions, dreams, poverty, power. Let the society debate what is right and wrong. Then law enforcement and legal departments will have much less work. The documentary should be seen as holding a mirror unto the society.

However, he has not received the clearance certificate. In his reply, the NMMC says that illegal construction is alleged to be in Bindu Madhav Nagar, Digha. The notice against the illegal construction was issued on 12 February 2009. He questioned that if the il- legal construction has not been done by Navin M Gavte as he claims, then why such a notice has been issued against his name. He has asked to cancel the notice on 1 November 2012. The NMMC says that the then Commissioner had directed to conduct a police inquiry and initiate a case against the illegal construction on 14 August 2013.

The aims of the zones included: increased trade, increased investment, job creation and effective administration. To encourage businesses to set up in the zone, financially libertarian policies are introduced. It was motivated by the desire to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). The benefits a company gains by being in a Special Economic Zone may mean it can produce and trade goods at a globally competitive price thereby generating greater economic activity and employment through their establishment. The objectives of SEZs can be explained as: Generation of additional economic activity; Promotion of exports of goods and services; Promotion of investment from domestic and foreign sources; Creation of employment opportunities; Development of infrastructure facilities. At this stage Videocon International which was the lead member in this project quit from pursuing this project and now the lead member was SKIL of Nikhil Gandhi and after joining hands with CIDCO at 26% stake, a new company called Dronagiri Infra (P) Ltd was formed. This new company was owned by RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani, Anand Jain of Jain Corps and CIDCO.

So the total cost of plot granted for constructing SEZ was Rs 1174 crores. This amount was paid to CIDCO. CIDCO allotted land Ulwe. All these lands were acquired by making the residents of these regions to vacate and part with their lands and they were promised a big package of job and business op- CMYK 7 portunity. Extension of SEZ is under consideration by UDD and CIDCO Director and MD and Chief Planner is also involved in a big way in this ambitious project. As per rule, if a plot is granted by CIDCO to a company for a particular project, and if the project is not completed within four years, CIDCO has the right to collect a huge fine as penalty from this company. Also CIDCO has the right to take back the allotted land if the project is not completed within six years. The decision to pursue the SEZ project was made in 2004 and accordingly a huge quantity of land was allotted to the companies who were assigned to pursue this project but even after 11 years have elapsed, the project has not yet started and CIDCO is sitting quiet and is not caring to take any kind of action against the defaulting companies. The losers in this game are none other than those who parted with their lands and to whom CIDCO made big promises. For example, a huge expanse of land in JNPT area is remaining barren for years and no constructive work has begun over there. Hundreds of farmers in Maharashtra’s Raigad district are demanding that their land, which was acquired for a special economic zone (SEZ) project that may now have to be shelved, be returned to them. So the farmers plan to file a petition asking for their land to be returned. Many farmers who have sold their land have joined the petition already What is CIDCO doing about this?
