BBMP zonal commissioners monitor SC survey in city
The deadline for completion of the survey has been extended to June 30. To confirm participation in the survey, BBMP teams are actively involved in affixing stickers at the entrances of households.
As teams visit each household, they ensure the survey has been completed and then place a sticker on the front door or wall of the residence to indicate participation.
Zonal Commissioners and Joint Commissioners are visiting homes to monitor and supervise the process. So far, the BBMP has surveyed approximately 1.84 lakh SC households and 32 lakh general households through a workforce of nearly 11,000 enumerators. As a result, 6.72 lakh individuals belonging to Scheduled Castes have been identified. BBMP has appealed to those who have not yet participated to do so promptly.
At Mahadevapura, the largest Zone, Joint Commissioner K Dakshayini visited houses and pasted the stickers. 'We paste stickers if the respondents say they belong to the SC communities and have been enumerated. In cases if the houses belonging to SC communities have been left out, the officials include the details in the mobile application of the social welfare department,' said Dakshayini.

SC couple denied temple wedding in Tamil Nadu over Christian names of parents
TIRUNELVELI: Three days ahead of their wedding, Gopal Sami and Manju, who belong to SC community (Hindu Puthiraivannar) should be making plans for their future. Instead, they are worrying where to hold the wedding after the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments department-managed temple denied permission for the event on the premises as their parents have Christian names. G Manju (20), daughter of Gnanaraj and Anthonyammal, resides at Vallam village near Sengottai in Tenkasi district. Gopal Sami (28) is the son of Joseph Sami and Komu, residents of Palayamkottai in Tirunelveli district. The families decided to conduct the wedding at the Melavasal Balasubramania Swami Temple in Palayamkottai on July 7 and had filed the application on June 24. But the temple denied them permission. Gopal Sami said 'Along with the application, we attached copies of our community certificates.' However, temple accountant Krishnaveni refused permission after seeing Christian names of the parents and said the temple could not allow such a wedding. When contacted by TNIE, Krishnaveni reiterated the reason for denial, adding the families should have changed their names in the gazette. The joint commissioner of HR & CE department in Tirunelveli Kavitha Priyadharshini could not be reached over the phone.

85 of 730 protected forest areas cleared of illegal buildings in Faridabad Aravalis
Gurgaon: Of the 730 forest areas in Faridabad Aravalis, which are protected under Section 4 (special orders) of the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA), around 85 have been cleared of encroachments. "Demolition drives, which started on June 11, were carried out at 85 locations that were identified during the survey," said a senior forest official. PLPA bars activities such as construction, encroachment and tree felling in forest areas. "We are now focusing on bigger structures like farmhouses. We faced resistance at some locations, and two FIRs were lodged against people for damaging earthmovers and injuring people," he said. The SC, in July 2022, had ruled that all Aravali land protected under PLPA (special orders) should be treated as forest, with provisions of the Forest (Conservation) Act, and any illegal buildings or structures should be demolished. More than 5,000 notices warning of demolition have been served to property owners across Faridabad as part of the intensified crackdown on illegal structures in protected forest areas and Aravali land. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The action is being carried out jointly by the forest department and the district administration with six earthmovers and bulldozers currently in operation.

A ground-truthing exercise conducted by Haryana govt in Dec 2023 found 6,793 unauthorised structures built on protected land in the four villages. The exercise found 5,948 unauthorised structures in Anangpur village alone, while 339 such structures were found in Ankhir, 313 in Lakkarpur, and 193 in Mewla Maharajpur. Most of these structures are farmhouses and banquet halls. The SC judgment — in the Narinder Singh vs Divesh Bhutani case — was based on appeals filed by property owners against a 2013 order of National Green Tribunal (NGT), which restrained any non-forest activities on PLPA-notified land in Anangpur village. Another appeal that was clubbed in the case was a petition against a notice to remove illegal farmhouses and banquet halls on forest lands in Anangpur, Ankhir, and Mewla Maharajpur. PLPA, enacted in 1990 to preserve forest land, is currently applicable in 10 districts of Haryana — Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Nuh, Gurgaon, Palwal, Faridabad, Mahendergarh, Rewari and Bhiwani.
