Abolish totally useless constitutional provision of Legislative Councils in states to eliminate political favoritism and corruption

Abolish totally useless constitutional provision of Legislative Councils in states to eliminate political favoritism and corruption

addtop, समाचार
It is a common knowledge that state Legislative Councils (Vidhan Parishads) are nothing but white-elephants on state-exchequers to rehabilitate favorites and relations of political rulers at heavy public-cost, that too absolutely without any fruitful public-purpose. Vidhaan Parishads in states which were gradually being abolished by many states in post-emergency period after 1977 with just five remaining at a time, are being gradually revived to politically rehabilitate favourites of political rulers. Since these serve absolutely no purpose, constitutional provision of having Legislative Councils in states should altogether be abolished. Already massive misuse of the constitutional provision has been reported repeatedly. UP governor Ram Naik in the year 2015 returned list of nominees for ...
Capping margins of retailers on just 73 more drugs: Why not all

Capping margins of retailers on just 73 more drugs: Why not all

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to media-reports about National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority NPPA considering capping of profit-margins of 73 more drugs but leaving out many more again. It is beyond understanding why and how NPPA does not have a profit-formula uniformly for all drugs at a time when even generic medicines considered to be a cheaper version of respective branded medicines have exorbitant trade-margins of several hundred percent. Such unethical profit-margins are continuing in drug-industry despite Competition Commission of India CCI and Central Information Commission CIC have taken cognizance of serious issue. There are many medicines where different drug-manufacturers take undue advantage of their brand-popularity with prices of same medicine differing several times according to brand-popula...
India should dictate terms to remain in ICC: Remove Pakistan from ICC

India should dictate terms to remain in ICC: Remove Pakistan from ICC

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Leading cricketers are hesitating from giving clear-cut statements in favour of Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI imposing much-needed harsh conditions on International Cricket Council ICC to expel terror-generating Pakistan from ICC, for the obvious reasons of more than hefty monetary receipts from BCCI in form of annual salary-package, pensions, match-money and award money running in annual receipt of crores of rupees for each individual cricketer. It is despite the fact that BCCI affairs are under supervision of Supreme Court administered monitoring committee. It is non-sense to plead that sports, arts may be kept out of Indo-Pak affairs. Pakistan Cricket Control Board and ICC are financially dependent totally on Indian cricket. Breaking cricket-ties with Pakistan will make ...
SC collegium overrules government-objection on transfer of judges: What happens next?

SC collegium overrules government-objection on transfer of judges: What happens next?

addtop, समाचार
It refers to media-reports about Supreme Court collegium not changing its recommendations of 10.01.2019 on transfer of judges at High Courts including transfer of Telangana Chief Justice Radhakrishnan as Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court. Big question is what happens next, when present system allows appointment of judges at higher courts as per recommendations of Supreme Court collegium in case collegium declines to review its earlier recommendations. It is a matter of concern that central government and concerned ones at Supreme Court could not achieve consensus on system of appointments in higher judiciary.   Best is to constitute a permanent National Judicial Commission having retired Supreme Court judges as member-nominees of President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India, lea...

Mobile phone companies should provide details of incoming and missed calls also

Mobile-phone service-providers turn down requests made for details of ‘Incoming’ and ‘Missed’ calls on mobile-numbers of the person/s making such a request in name of ‘privacy’, while companies are providing details of ‘Outgoing’ calls even without being asked for.   It is beyond understanding how and why the company can claim ‘privacy’ on providing the sought data when the calls are made to persons requesting such details of ‘Incoming’ and ‘Missed’ calls received on his mobile-numbers. Providing details of ‘Incoming’ and ‘Missed’ calls on request is of utmost importance in cases of obscene/threatening/harassing/fraud calls received by person/s requesting for details of Incoming’ and ‘Missed’ calls. Such details are also of importance because of unwanted calls interrupting despi...
Welcome Supreme Court order imposing fine on Tejaswy Yadav and ordering to vacate government-bungalow

Welcome Supreme Court order imposing fine on Tejaswy Yadav and ordering to vacate government-bungalow

It refers to welcome order of Supreme Court on 08.02.2019 imposing symbolic fine of rupees 50000 for filing appeal at the Apex Court against justified order of Patna High Court directing former state Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswy Yadav to vacate government-bungalow meant for state Deputy Chief Minister. It is noteworthy that Tejaswy Yadav was rightfully offered another government-bungalow meant for persons of state of ministers in the state because he is presently Leader of the Opposition in state-assembly who is entitled for a government-bungalow meant for ministers in the State. Our political rulers should take lesson from British Prime Minister where family-members of outgoing British Prime Minister are seen pushing out their belongings to ensure that new British Prime Minister enter...

Union Corporate Affairs Ministry should arrange common and simple procedure for DEMAT and other requirements about shares

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, समाचार
Union Ministry for Corporate Affairs should have a complete and thorough study of different types of procedures adopted by different companies in respect of shares-certificates still held in physical form by large number of share-holders. Many aged share-holders because of non-awareness or death of spouses or relations have not been able to get their decades-old share-certificates dematerialized. There are also cases where due to some reasons, premises registered with companies locked with companies now requiring latest share-certificates issued after premises being locked for dematerialization. It is quite common that signatures of share-holders differ after decades. Many companies require signature-verifications according to their own format but on letter-heads of banks. But banks pro...

Permanent Commission necessary to keep vigil on annual income-rise of MPs and MLAs and their close relations Opposition is crying foul on Rovert Vadra being grilled by Enforcement Directorate calling it a political vendetta. But biggest surprise irrespective of party-politics is that income and wealth of those entering legislature and their close relations usually rises manifolds with usual argument that every one has a right to earn from business. There should be a permanent Commission with its members selected by a non-political panel consisting of Chief Justice of India, Central Vigilance Commissioner and Comptroller and Auditor General of India which should keep vigil on income and wealth of MPs, MLAs and their close relations. Commission should be empowered to add to list of rel...

Time in India should be shifted to GMT+6 Hours Time-Zone

India should also advance its time-zone by half an hour to make it GMT+6 hours rather than present haphazard GMT+5.30 hours as also recommended by National Institute of Advanced Studies. Since presently just eight countries in the world deviate from separating their time-zones by fraction of an hour, Indian government should approach international authorities so that time-zone for a country may compulsorily be deviated by full one hour from GMT. Making Indian Time at GMT+6 hours will fulfil long-pending and genuine demand of people from north-east India without going for dual and impractical time-zone for the country. Suggested change will reduce big time-difference of 127 minutes between extreme east and west zones of the country. Demand of north-eastern states is highly justified for bet...
