Awhad's slogans instigated Padalkar before scuffle in assembly: Gorhe
Pune: The state legislative council's deputy chairperson, Neelam Gorhe, on Saturday said NCP (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad's slogans instigated BJP MLA Gopichand Padalkar before the scuffle between their supporters on Thursday on the assembly premises, referring to a govt report on the incident. Gorhe said, "The report on the incident has been submitted in the assembly. It mentions that Awhad was seen shouting some slogans aiming at Padalkar, which instigated him. In any case, such kind of behaviour within the premises of the assembly is not acceptable." Interacting with reporters in Pune a day after the monsoon session ended, Gorhe expressed disappointment over the scuffle. The senior Shiv Sena member said, "This is the first time I experienced such a thing happening on the assembly premises. There is a norm that nobody should be shouting on the assembly premises, but the SOP (standard operating procedure) was not followed."

I punished Padalkar for misconduct and did not allow him to participate in discussions in the council for a day earlier. After that punishment, I saw some improvement in him," she said. Reacting to speculations over Thackeray cousins reuniting ahead of the civic polls, Shiv Sena's senior member Gorhe said both politicians were senior and she was a common Shiv Sainik. "Both Uddhav and Raj are seniors, but Eknath Shinde continued on the path of Balasaheb Thackeray. Be it Article 370 or Ram Temple issue, Shinde has followed the Hindutva path," Gorhe added. Replying to the "honey trap" allegation of the MVA members against some bureaucrats and former ministers of the state, Gorhe said, "If the opposition members have any evidence regarding the honey trap issue, they should present it in the court."

Register sugar cane and domestic workers for welfare schemes: Neelam Gorhe
Nashik: Maharashtra legislative council deputy speaker Neelam Gorhe has called for special camps to register sugar cane and domestic workers , ensuring they benefit from various government welfare schemes . Speaking at a review meeting with district officials at the government rest house, she emphasized the need for prompt registration to enable access to educational facilities and social security schemes. "Health camps should be organised for the workers. Initiatives should be taken to obtain health insurance and accident protection insurance for the workers," she said. Gorhe also urged that 3% of district annual plan funds reserved for the Women and Child Welfare department be used for preventive measures against atrocities on women. "While the women who are the victims get help through the 'Manodhairya' scheme, the funds from the annual plan should be used to provide urgent help required by them," she said. Calling for greater child protection, she recommended the establishment of child-friendly police stations in five locations. "A proposal should be submitted for setting up child-friendly police stations in five places in the district," she added. She highlighted the importance of strengthening 'Bharosa' cells and introducing 'Online Bharosa' cells in areas lacking them. "Women police officers... should be trained not only with technical knowledge but also to provide services from a human perspective. Counselling of aggrieved women should be done through home visits," she noted. To support tourism, Gorhe also recommended appointing a nodal officer to handle complaints from visitors to Ahilyanagar and nearby areas, ensuring a positive image of the district.
