BSNL under heavy losses not paying salaries now planning VRS: Why not wind up BSNL

BSNL under heavy losses not paying salaries now planning VRS: Why not wind up BSNL

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, आर्थिक
It is a matter of concern that public-sector BSNL is running under heavy losses now planning for VSNL of its employees after public-sector company failed to pay regular salaries to its staff. It is surprising that while private players like JIO are earning profits even after offering economical tariffs, BSNL is not able to retain or increase its client-base thus turning BSNL as a loss-generating company for public-exchequer. BSNL should be better wound up like some very popular public-sector companies of earlier times HMT and IDPL. Central government should also study how public-sector companies run at heavy losses to the tune of their winding-up while shares of private companies in the same field witness regular jumps indicating heavy profits. Rather public-sector companies with all go...

Media-reports about number of stop-filers of Income-Tax returns jumping 10-fold to 88.04 lakhs in the fiscal-year 2016-17 of demonetisation as compared to 8.56 lakhs in the previous year 2015-16 highest in last tow decades is just contrast to success-claim for  of demonetisation citing addition of 1.06 crores new tax-payers in the year 2016-17 which was 25-percent higher as compared to the previous year 2015-16. It is also noteworthy that target of direct-tax collection for recently closed fiscal-year 2018-19 could not be collected despite best of last-days efforts of Central Board of Direct Taxes CBDT. It creates doubts about downfall in trade-activities and fall in number of jobs which is certainly a cause of worry for fiscal-system. Another notable feature is 19.14 percent rise in cu...

स्वास्थ्य के लिए चुनौती बन रही हैं धूल भरी आंधियां

  पिछले साल मई के महीने में एक के बाद एक लगातार तीन धूल भरी आंधियों ने दिल्ली सहित उत्तर भारत के कई हिस्सों में कहर बरपाया था। अब एक अध्ययन में पता चला है कि इन आंधियों से जन-धन का नुकसान होने के साथ-साथ वायु गुणवत्ता और वायुमंडलीय रासायनिक गुणों में भी ऐसे परिवर्तन हुए हैं जो मानव स्वास्थ्य के लिए हानिकारक हो सकते हैं। इस अध्ययन में पाया गया है धूल भरी आंधियों से वायु की गति, तापमान और वायुमंडलीय मापदंडों के ऊर्ध्वाधर परिवहन के स्वरूप में परिवर्तन होने के कारण ग्रीनहाउस और सूक्ष्ममात्रिक गैसों की मात्रा में भी बदलाव हो रहा है। ये बदलाव वायु गुणवत्ता के लिए हानिकारक हो सकते हैं। पिछले साल मई में इन तीन धूल भरी आंधियों में से दो बेहद खतरनाक थीं, जिनके कारण सौ से अधिक लोग मारे गए थे। दर्जनों हवाई उड़ानें रद्द करनी पड़ी थीं या फिर उनके रास्ते बदलने पड़े थे। सिंधु-गंगा मैदानों म...
EC complaining for Rajasthan Governor to President: Governors should be non-political

EC complaining for Rajasthan Governor to President: Governors should be non-political

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to Election Commission on 01.04.2019 complaining against Rajasthan Governor Kalyansingh for his political statement made on 23.03.2019 wherein he advocated present Prime Minister to continue even after forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. It is quite usual that political persons appointed as state Governors give such political statements like earlier done by present Madhya Pradesh Governor in April 2018. It is not proper to misuse dignified post of state Governor for political waste. Posts of state Governors must be only for politically neutral persons like retired judges and bureaucrats who might not have ever affiliated with any political party. There have been many cases earlier when politicians appointed as state Governors have misused Raaj-Bhawans(Governor Houses) like party-head...

  राम जन्म भूमि बाबरी मस्जिद केस के सर्वमान्य समाधान के लिए सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने मध्यस्थता के जरिए मामला मध्यस्थता पैनल को सौंप दिया। इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट के 2010 के फैसले के बाद से ये मामला सुप्रीमकोर्ट में लंबित था जिसमें 14 याचिकाएं दायर हैं। सुप्रीम कोर्ट की पांच सदस्यीय खंडपीठ ने ये फैसला मार्च के पहले सप्ताह में दिया और तीन सदस्यीय मध्यस्थता पैनल का गठन भी कर दिया। विश्व हिन्दू परिषद सुप्रीम कोर्ट के इस फैसले पर बहुत खुश दिखायी नहीं देती। परिषद के महासचिव डा. सुरेन्द्र जैन कहते हैं ''निर्णय चूंकि न्यायपालिका का है इसलिए स्वागत या विरोध का प्रश्न ही नहीं है। सर्वोच्च कोर्ट का आदेश है इसलिए हम वार्ता में हिस्सा लेंगे। लेकिन परिणाम को लेकर बहुत आशावादी नहीं हैं। सुप्रीम कोर्ट के मुख्य न्यायाधीश रंजन गोगोई की अध्यक्षता वाली पांच सदस्यीय संविधान पीठ से दोनों पक्षों को किसी ठोस निर्णय ...

लोकसभा के चुनावों का माहौल है। हर दल अपने प्रत्याशियों की सूची जारी कर रहा है। जो बड़े और धनी दल है, वे प्रत्याशियों को चुनाव लड़ने के लिए धन भी देते हैं। कुछ ऐसे भी दल हैं, जो उम्मीदवारी की टिकट देने के बदले में करोड़ों रूपये लेकर टिकट बेचते हैं। पता चला है कि एक उम्मीदवार का लोकसभा चुनाव में 5 करोड़ से लेकर 25 करोड़ रूपया या फिर इससे भी ज्यादा खर्च हो जाता है। जबकि भारत के चुनाव आयोग द्वारा एक प्रत्याशी द्वारा खर्च की अधिकतम सीमा 70लाख रूपये निर्धारित की गई है। प्रत्याशी इसी सीमा के भीतर रहकर चुनाव लड़े, इसे सुनिश्चित करने के लिए भारत का चुनाव आयोग हर संसदीय क्षेत्र में तीन पर्यवेक्षक भी तैनात करता है। जो मूलतः भारतीय प्रशासनिक सेवा, भारतीय पुलिस सेवा व भारतीय राजस्व सेवा के वे अधिकारी होते हैं, जो दूसरे प्रांतों से भेजे जाते हैं। चुनाव के दौरान जिला प्रशासन और इन पर्यवेक्षकों की जवाबदेही किसी...

Central government should study of abnormal heavy discounts on on-line sale

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, आर्थिक
Multi-page super-costly advertisements are usually seen in leading newspapers offering extra-ordinary heavy discounts on popular-branded electrical and electronics items. Even extra heavy discount is added if items are purchased through credit-cards issued by some specific banks. Discussion with dealers all over the capital city of Delhi investing hugely for trade of these items revealed that companies sell all their obsolete models and returned items after claim lodged by consumers through such on-line sale. If it is really so, then all such media-publicity should be directed to compulsorily boldly mention about such bitter reality. Obsolete models and returned items on claim can then also be sold through dealer-network abolishing warranty-conditions and clearly mentioned on items and ...
LPG subsidy be only on basis of affidavits rather than expecting voluntary surrender

LPG subsidy be only on basis of affidavits rather than expecting voluntary surrender

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Subsidy for LPG is for families having combined income of rupees ten lakhs per annum with central government appealing those above the stipulated income-limit to voluntarily surrender subsidy. But instead of expecting voluntary surrender, Union Petroleum Ministry should ask to submit affidavits regarding total family-income to avail subsidy. This will drastically reduce LPG subsidy-burden on the exchequer because those not having voluntarily surrendered subsidy will then avoid filing wrong affidavits to get subsidy. Net payable price including of all central and local taxes should be rounded in multiples of rupees ten or fifty, because delivery-persons never return balance-money. System will further reduce financial-burden on the exchequer because of LPG subsidy. At least LPG, if not pe...

It refers to prominent Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi avoiding Ramlala-Darshan at Ayodhya on 29.03.2019 as according to her the matter was sub-judice, when she was at Ayodhya during campaign for forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. But the sub-judice matter is about making availability of land for a grand Ram-temple at birth-place of Lord Rama, and not on worshipping the existing deity. Congress leader forgot that Ramlala deity was unlocked only in Congress regime. Only recently one Congress spokesperson on TV news-channel openly favoured for construction of Ram-temple at Ayodhya. Congress itself being in a confused state of mind instead of confusing voters, should come with a firm stand on its willingness in favour or against construction of a grand Ram-temple at birth-place of Lord Rama ...
