[rti4empowerment] URGENT REQUEST FOR ENDORSEMENTS on the Aadhaar Amendments and DNA Bill [1 Attachment]

 
[Attachment(s) from aruna roy included below]

Dear friends,

Friday, 4th January 2019, was listed for 'Private Resolutions' but the Rafale matter kept the Lok Sabha engaged till evening. After the Rafale debate, most MPs left the Lok Sabha. The Speaker declared that Private Resolutions would be shifted to the following Tuesday and that Bills would be taken up. In the next hour and a half the Lok Sabha passed three Bills, including the Aadhaar Amendment Bill, with very little debate and scrutiny. Later, on 8th January 2019, the DNA Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha with no amendments despite concerns raised and despite there being requests for it to be referred to a Standing Committee.

There is a good chance that these bills might now be taken up in the Rajya Sabha during the forthcoming budget session in a similar manner, lost amidst the din of the budget and other possible pre-election announcements in Parliament. There are several problems with both these bills (as the attached letter will indicate). We request your URGENT endorsement to the letter attached with this mail, where we have communicated our concerns and demands.

Please mark a copy of your endorsement to nachiket.udupa@riseup.net. We would appreciate it if you could send your endorsement by 5:00 am on 31st Jan 2019 (IST), the day that the budget session will begin.

PLEASE DO ALSO FORWARD THIS REQUEST FOR ENDORSEMENTS IN YOUR NETWORKS.

Thank you very much.

With regards,
Aruna Roy, Raghuram Godavarthi and Nachiket Udupa

Service of Liquor Shops,

Paan, Cigarette Shop, Beer & Huqqa Bars near educational institutions

 

Hon'bles,

 

Please refer to the letter dated 16 October 2018, which Parents Association GNP, SB-29, 101/4, Daba Road, GT Road, Ludhiana-141001 Has addressed to Hon'ble Chief Minister, Punjab Chandigarh springing up of Liquor Shops /Paan Cigarette Shop/Beer Bars/Huqqa Bars etc., near the educational Institutions, especially the Secondary and Elementary Schools, with the consent of the such schools after securing NOC from then by decoyed means.

 

This is in blatant violation of the policy of the State Government as well as the Excise Policy of the state Government. This is a serious dent to state which is already fighting the drug menace. Owing to this, the peril of intoxication in the young students is swelling day-by-day, resulting in ruining the health and career of youngsters.

 

It is a matter of great concern that Liquor shops in collusion with school managements are giving a philip to boozing by cheating on authorities or in complicity with the authorities. This is a serious matter and needs to be promptly looked into the nexus of the Liquor Shop-School Management-Official in allowing the operation of the station of intoxications in so close proximity to the schools, in gross violation of the law. 

RTIFED demands that the Secretary, School Education, Punjab; Director Public Instructions

(Secondary Education) Punjab; and Director Public Instructions (Elementary Education) Punjab, may look into as to how Liqour-Shop Owner obtained the NOC from the School Managements; And the Financial Commissioner, Excise & Taxation Punjab and the Principal Secretary, Excise & Taxation Punjab, may kindly look into as to how the official cleared such proposal of the operation of the shops of nasha, intoxication, dope, fuddle, inebriation, intoxicant, lay out, narcotic, narcotics, opiate, wine etc., are allowed to crop-up in close proximity to the schools?

 

RTIFED joins in with the demand of Parents Association GNP that the distance of prohibited area near schools should be increased to more than 500 meters. Secondly the liquor shops Paan, Cigarette Shop/Beer & Bars/Huqqa Bars opened in prohibited area by obtaining NOC from the schools should be declared invalid. 

 

The guilty, including officials, school managements and such ventures owners, in allowing such ventures in close vicinity to schools, may be taken to task under the laws which are applicable on them and are in for the time being.

 

RTIFED urges the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Punjab to consider the request of the Parents Association GNP and immediately order for the removal of vends and Bars from the prohibited area

 

RTIFED expect that the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Punjab will gauge the severity of the matter and order immediately action on receipt of this communication.

 

This communication is sent through electronic media and as such does not warrants any signature..

 

Submitted for kind consideration and appropriate action, please.

 

A pdf of this communication is also attached, which may please be downloaded and printed for taking appropriate action, please.



Thanking you,

Very cordially yours,

 

 

Surendra M. Bhanot

President RTIFED

Enclosure: as stated, please

[rti4empowerment] YOUR GRIEVANCE WITH SIC PUNJAB

 


IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

Dear Members,

 

It has been OBSERVED that for the last 2-3 years, the Punjab State Information Commission is bailing out the erring PIOs and the Public Authorities for a song. The Commission is not imposing any penalty on the erroring PIOs and not awarding compensation to the appellant and complainants.  

 

This is just a situation of lawlessness prevailing in the Commission and the RTI Act is being given a silent burial.

 

This RTIFED Group wants these issues to be taken up vigorously with the Government as well as with the Commissions. This can only be done with the active support of the members, with facts and figures.

10.   If any form was got filled in by the commission from you to the effect that "you were satisfied with the information provided and that you do not want any further action and the case may be closed"

11.   If you were ever threatened by the public authority or warned of the dire consequences and commission kept silent.
