Stike from June 18 against hike in Petrol and Diesel price,

by

President of All India Confederation of Goods Vehicle Owners Associations, B Channareddy, said that the truck owners will begin an indefinite strike from June 18, protesting against the hike in petrol and diesel prices, increase in third-party policy premium rates and in support of a number of other demands.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday May 25, Channareddy noted that diesel price has been going up every day. He blamed the central government for affecting this hike since the last some years. “Since 2002, third-party insurance premium is also going up steadily. This increase of this premium now stands at 1117 percent. Our repeated requests to contain this increase have fallen on deaf ears. Therefore we have decided to protest,” he explained.

Channareddy said that if their demands are not met by June 18, the indefinite strike will be undertaken from midnight that day all over the country, as a result of which all kinds of goods transport vehicles will stop plying. He accused the central government of not addressing problems like toll charges and taking unilateral decisions. He also blamed the government for allowing private companies to conduct third-party insurance business which has been creating problems.

“About 80 percent of truck owners own one or two vehicles and they are facing problems in repaying loans raised from banks. They are not even able to cover diesel cost out of hire charges. Therefore, we demand immediate action failing which protest will be held,” he warned.

TN toll rises to 13, Thoothukudi tense

by

Thoothukudi (Tamil Nadu), May 24 (IANS) Tamil Nadu’s Thoothukudi remained tense for the third day on Thursday as one more person injured in police firing in protests against the Sterlite factory died, taking the toll to 13.

Selvasekar succumbed to his injuries in the district hospital, as the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board issued an order to disconnect power supply to Sterlite and to close the plant with immediate effect.

Normal life was affected in Thoothukudi, with shops closed and people remaining indoors even as the protest against police action spread across the state on Thursday, with demonstrations in districts like Erode, Ramanathapuram and Thiruvarur.

In Thoothukudi, police have stepped up patrolling to stop people from forming groups in public places while internet connection has been shut in the district and neighbouring areas.

On Tuesday, police firing killed 11 people, most of them from nearby villages who were demanding the closure of the Sterlite Copper smelter plant they said was destroying the farm lands and leading to severe health issues in the area.

Another person was killed on Wednesday in fresh firing while hundreds of injured are admitted in hospitals.

Meanwhile, construction work for a proposed second facility near to the existing unit was stopped after an order by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday.

The company said it will decide on further action after going through the order.

Women can play important role in peace talks: Journalist

by

Women can play a crucial role in peace talks and governments should co-opt them in peace bodies to cash in on their intrinsic qualities, said journalist and author Rashmi Saksena on Thursday.

Speaking at the launch of her book on women militants, titled “She Goes to War: Women Militants of India”, she noted that women also played an equally important role in keeping insurgent organizations alive.

She spoke to a number of women militants and selected 16 of them for the book, who were “close to my heart”.

“Choosing a favorite of the many I spoke to is difficult. All these 16 were my favorites and so I am telling you their stories,” she said.

“The reason why they opt out of such organizations is as important as the reason why they join it.

“They were not made part of peace talks, although they played an important role in the move,” she added.

Gadkari advocates bringing fuel under GST

by

With petrol and diesel rates skyrocketing on a daily basis, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday advocated bringing fuel under the GST to curb the price hike.

“Petrol and diesel should have been brought under the Goods and Services Tax. I asked officials during a presentation if we bring fuel prices under GST will it benefit the states or not.

“They said ‘yes’, they will benefit,” Gadkari said at a news conclave here on the four years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.

He said, however, the states were wary of losing revenue on account of taxes they collect from fuel prices and liquor.

“It will be good if fuel prices are brought under GST. This will not only reduce the fuel prices but will also increase the government’s revenue.”

He, however, said it was his personal opinion, and the ultimate decision regarding this remained with the Petroleum Ministry.

The Minister said fuel prices were surging because of international crude oil rate.

“Earlier, we were giving subsidy on the import (of fuels). When the rates came down, the subsidy was removed. We are part of a global economy…The price of petrol and diesel are increasing due to rise of their price in international rates.”

He said the money that was saved from removing subsidy on fuel allowed the government to give free Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) connections to eight crore families across India.

Easing norms in bidding will speed up resolution of stressed assets cases: Shah

by


The Union Cabinet’s decision to issue an Ordinance to make necessary changes in the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) for easing the norms for participation of the promoters of the companies in the resolution of their stressed assets, especially Micro, Small and medium Enterprises, will expedite resolution of NPA cases in a big way, said FICCI.

“Enabling MSME promoters to bid for their companies under the IBC resolution process will help in speedy resolution in a large number of cases. Easing of the norms for genuine promoters to take part in the resolution process associated with their company will act as a catalyst in the government and RBI’s efforts towards stressed asset resolution,” said Rashesh Shah, President, FICCI.

“While there is a need to keep the errant promoters out of the bidding process for their companies under IBC is a necessity, it is also equally important to give a fair chance to the genuine promoters to be part of the resolution process,” he added.

“Additionally, the decision to treat homebuyers on par with financial creditors will also prove to be a substantial relief for a large section of the society, and will also give a boost to the real-estate sector,” Shah added.

He highlighted that higher bids placed for the stressed assets under the IBC process show that it has already started working, and Tata Steel’s acquisition of Bhushan Steel is a clear indication of the potential of the IBC framework in the resolution of the NPA cases.
