Praising the State Government's decision, women from SHGs thank Chief Minister for restoring responsibilities

Raipur : The state government has decided to entrust the operation of ready-to-eat to women's groups once again under the 'Modi ki Guarantee'.

Women Self-Help Groups to resume management of Ready-to-Eat

Expressing their gratitude, the women further stated, "We, the women from 1786 women's groups across the state, wholeheartedly thank you for this decision."

Women from 30 districts, from Surguja to Bastar, informed the Chief Minister that all women involved in the operation of Ready to Eat are extremely pleased with his decision and wish to express their gratitude to him and the Chhattisgarh Government by organizing a function in his honour. They also extended an invitation to the Chief Minister for the event.

Representatives from all divisions across the state mentioned that nearly 26,000 women from the 1786 groups were directly involved in the operation of 'Ready to Eat' across the state. However, the previous government had deprived the women of their work. About 3 lakh people, including the family members of the women, were directly and indirectly affected by this, leading to many difficulties over the past years and causing a significant crisis in their livelihoods. Now, the government led by Chief Minister Shri Sai has understood their plight and made this thoughtful decision in their interest.

The women stated that they used the income generated from the 'Ready to Eat' operation to support their entire families. Besides, they did not have to depend on others for money during times of need, festivals, or special occasions. However, since their employment was snatched away, they have been facing financial difficulties. With the state government's decision to hand over the operation of Ready to Eat back to women's groups, they are hopeful of regaining employment opportunities.

Chief Minister told the women that Ready to Eat is crucial for the nutrition and health of our children, and its quality will be given special attention. He added that the government's intention is to ensure that children receive proper nutrition, and they are determined to achieve this goal.

Flaws uncovered during inspection of water tank, prompting action against responsible officials and contractor

No compromise on quality or delays tolerated: Shri Sao

Raipur : Deputy Chief Minister and Public Health Engineering Minister Shri Arun Sao has issued instructions to demolish the substandard water tank under construction in Deorhat of Lormi development block of Mungeli district. Deputy Chief Minister Shri Sao, during his recent visit to Deorhat to attend a programme, promptly went to the work site and inspected it upon receiving complaints from villagers about low-quality construction and delays.

He directed the Engineer-In-Chief of the Public Health Engineering Department to inspect the water tank under construction and submit an inspection report. Following the inspection, the work was found to be of poor quality and riddled with flaws. Consequently, the Deputy Chief Minister ordered its demolition and the construction of a new water tank. The demolition of the under-constructed water tank has commenced. The Engineer-In-Chief has also recommended action against the responsible officers and the contractor in the inspection report.

Since assuming the role as Minister of the Public Health Engineering Department, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Arun Sao has stressed the importance of quality construction and timely completion of projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission. He has consistently directed departmental officers in this regard, stating that compromise on quality and delays are unacceptable under any circumstances.

After inspecting the water tank under construction in Deorhat, the Engineer-In-Chief of the Public Health Engineering Department reported that the agency appointed for the construction work, Shri Ram Construction Company from Bijuri (Anuppur), has delivered poor-quality construction and extensively delayed the work. Given the failure to adhere to prescribed standards and quality in the construction of the water tank, it is deemed unfit for public use. This indicates serious negligence on the part of both the contractor and departmental engineers. The third-party inspection agency, Engineering Staff College of India, responsible for overseeing the work, has also been found unsatisfactory.

In light of the negligence during the tank's construction, the Engineer-In-Chief has instructed the demolition of the substandard water tank and the construction of a new tank meeting prescribed standards. The contractor has been instructed to take proper precautions during the demolition to prevent any untoward incidents.

The inspection report highlights that the reputation of the Jal Jeevan Mission has been tarnished due to the poor quality of construction work. Consequently, the contractor, Shri Ram Construction Company, is prohibited from participating in any work related to the Public Health Engineering Department until further notice. The Engineer-In-Chief has directed the Chief Engineer, Bilaspur, to prepare show cause notices and charge sheets for disciplinary action against the concerned Executive Engineer, Shri I.P. Mandavi, Assistant Engineer Shri S.P. Sonwani, and Deputy Engineer Shri I.S. Kashyap.

The offline approval process related to coal transportation in Chhattisgarh will be reverted to the online system: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai

Raipur | 08-Feb-2024 473

Chief Minister announced the revocation of the Mineral Resources Department's circular for offline process and its associated circulars related to coal transportation

Raipur: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai announced on Wednesday that the approval process related to coal transportation in Chhattisgarh will be reverted to a more efficient online system. This move aims to enhance transparency, eliminate corruption, and promote good governance in mineral administration. The Chief Minister made this declaration while responding to a calling attention motion in the Assembly on Wednesday.

Chief Minister Shri Sai responded to the Calling Attention and highlighted a significant change made by the previous government in the Mineral Resources Department. On July 15, 2020, a directive was issued mandating physical verification by district mineral staff before issuing e-permits for coal transportation, which led to an offline process. This alteration introduced human interference, leading to corruption allegations and transportation delays.

Chief Minister Shri Sai shared the efficiency of the previous online system in the Mineral Resources Department, which allows lessees to seamlessly acquire e-permits and e-transit passes for coal transportation via the Mineral Online Portal without visiting any office. However, the shift to an offline process under the previous government resulted in delays in the transportation of coal and revenue losses from royalty blockages in numerous coal mines. The Government of India raised objections twice, citing these issues. Furthermore, the offline approach facilitated illicit activities and corruption and tarnished the state's reputation.

The Chief Minister addressed concerns raised by various state institutions regarding the offline system for coal transportation, which prompted allegations of illegal transactions and extortion. Following investigations by the Enforcement Directorate, a complaint has been filed in court and is currently under review.

Additionally, the Directorate has initiated a corruption case with the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which is now under investigation. With a commitment to transparency and good governance, the Chief Minister announced the revocation of the Mineral Resources Department's July 15, 2020 circular and all associated instructions.
