Shambhu Prasad allegedly left out eligible beneficiaries and added dubious ones for the scheme during the 2023-24 FY, a probe conducted by Garhwa sub-divisional officer (SDO) Sanjay Kumar revealed last week, officials said.
A probe was initiated into the selection of beneficiaries by Yadav after several complaints were received in this regard. "Abua Awas Yojana is one of the most important schemes of the state govt. The selection of ineligible beneficiaries has affected transparency of the scheme and exploited the rights of eligible beneficiaries. The benefit of any govt scheme must reach to the needy. Any irregularity will not be tolerated," DC said in a statement.

Delhi eases cinema licence rules to cut red tape; revenue dept takes charge
In a significant administrative reform to liberalise Delhi's licensing framework and bolster ease of doing business, the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi, VK Saxena, has withdrawn the powers of granting licences to cinema halls and theatres from the Delhi Police and delegated them to the revenue department of the Delhi government with immediate effect. DM-led panel to oversee licensing Applications for licences under the Cinematograph Act, 1952, will be scrutinised and approved by a committee headed by the concerned District Magistrate (DM) or Deputy Commissioner (DC), according to the official order. The committee will also include: The Deputy Commissioner of the respective Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) zone A structural engineering/building expert nominated by Secretary (PWD), GNCTD A fire safety expert nominated by the Chief Fire Officer, Delhi Fire Service An electrical systems expert nominated by Secretary (Power), GNCTD A representative from the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), nominated by the DC This multi-disciplinary panel is expected to bring in technical rigour and streamline the licensing process without compromising safety and structural norms. Move to eliminate red tape According to Raj Niwas officials, this measure follows a similar recent reform where licensing powers for seven other categories of business -- including swimming pools, eateries, hotels, guest houses, discotheques, video game parlours, amusement parks, and auditoriums -- were also taken away from the Delhi Police and reassigned to the Revenue Department. The Lieutenant Governor's office stated that the new arrangement is aimed at eliminating bureaucratic bottlenecks and "creating a conducive business atmosphere sans red tape in Delhi". The LG has directed the Commissioner of Police to instruct all concerned officials to step back from handling licensing matters under the Cinematograph Act. The order states unequivocally that 'Delhi Police shall forthwith cease to exercise powers' relating to grant of such licences. Officials note that the change is part of Delhi's broader push in line with national objectives of improving the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) rankings and enhancing investment attractiveness. By consolidating licensing functions within civil administration, the government aims to make procedures more predictable, transparent, and efficient. Background: Cinematograph Act, 1952 The Cinematograph Act governs the licensing and regulation of cinema exhibitions in India. Under the previous regime in Delhi, the police held the authority to grant such licences, often involving multiple clearances that stakeholders found cumbersome. With this latest reform, the Delhi administration hopes to simplify and digitise the licensing pathway for cinema operators while retaining checks on safety and compliance.

Permanent housing still a distant dream for Haveri's 900+ flood-hit families
Haveri: More than 900 families in Haveri district are still without permanent housing since the devastating floods of 2019-20, as they continue to wait for govt assistance. These families endure harsh conditions in temporary accommodations. The previous BJP administration had pledged Rs 5 lakh per household for completely destroyed dwellings through the flood relief initiative. Under BS Yediyurappa's leadership, a commitment of Rs 5 lakh per family was made via the flood victims' relief programme for reconstructing fully damaged houses. The Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation was tasked with disbursing funds in stages. The majority of beneficiaries await full compensation, leaving their reconstruction efforts incomplete for four years. Of the 992 documented damaged houses with properly submitted relief applications, the system inexplicably ceased functioning after distributing initial payments of Rs 1.2 lakh to most recipients. More than 800 houses suffered damage in 2022-23, while earlier cases remain unresolved. Neither the affected residents nor local authorities have received clear explanations for the delayed compensation. Despite numerous communications from Haveri deputy commissioner to the Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation's managing director requesting relief restoration, including a detailed inspection report of 157 houses in Haveri constituency, officials remain unresponsive. The suspended rehabilitation funds have created considerable hardships. Many affected individuals have sought help from district authorities. Acknowledging the urgency, the DC contacted corporation officials on Sept 30, 2024, requesting relief reinstatement. Unable to provide flood rehabilitation scheme assistance, authorities suggested pursuing the Devaraj Arasu scheme on Oct 5, 2024. Victims continue waiting as neither scheme provides relief, with no clear guidance about housing provision under the Devaraj Arasu Housing scheme. On July 8, the housing department secretary issued seemingly contradictory instructions to the corporation's managing director regarding surveying unblocked houses. While official correspondence continues for three years, affected families endure heavy rainfall in temporary shelters, having lost their permanent houses. "Our home was damaged in the heavy rains. To receive relief, we were told by the gram panchayat officials to build a new house up to the plinth level for a survey. Accordingly, we partially constructed a house. However, they say the relief funds we were supposed to receive are blocked. We are facing hardships living in a shed," said one of the affected residents in Handiganur village, Kallaveeragouda Patil. Ravi Patil, gram panchayat member, said restricting damaged house reconstruction to four months instead of ten is unjust. "The flood victims remain displaced without proper housing. The authorities must promptly disburse the pending financial aid to support those affected," he clarified. QUOTE We have corresponded with the govt and are awaiting further instructions. Action will be taken accordingly —Vijay Mahantesh Danammanavar, Haveri DC
