226 0nly crore push to Nagpur

The state-led alliance has made the first push to the sub-continent by cutting district annual funds. Earlier, when Devendra Fadnavis was the Chief Minister, Nagpur city was getting a lot of funds from the state government. However, instead of raising funds, the new government has reduced the current fiscal by Rs 226 crore. Annual plans for both Chandrapur and Sindhudurg districts have also been cut.

Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar reviewed the district-wise annual plan at a meeting of the Nagpur division on Tuesday. At a press conference organized after the meeting, he said that the funds of Nagpur, Chandrapur and Sindhudurg districts were cut.
'During the Fadnavis government, these three districts were not funded according to the formula. For this, the funding of the districts in the four divisions was reduced. Since then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of Nagpur, Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar Chandrapur and Finance Minister Deepak Kesarkar belong to Sindhudurg, he has increased the annual plan in his own districts greatly. These districts were funded more. Now this extra funding has been stopped. "The previous government has been deducting due to lack of funds," Pawar claimed
“The existing Guardian Ministers in these three districts have demanded that the current financial year be funded. There is a plan of Rs. 9,500 crore for the districts of the state, which will increase slightly. Nitin Raut, Guardian Minister of Nagpur, Guardian Minister of Chandrapur Vijay Wadettiwar could not be satisfied, ”Ajit Pawar confessed.
“In a district like Nagpur, there are three ministers, MPs and MLAs. Therefore, the next budget will consider how to make more funds under other titles. We will discuss this in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. A decision will be taken after a discussion with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. "No injustice will be done to Nagpur-Vidarbha," Ajit Pawar said.

555 crore reduction in four districts

Annual plan of Nagpur is Rs 525 crore. In fact, it was expected to have a plan of Rs 237 crore. The government paid Rs 288 crore more. At present, Nagpur has a plan of Rs.299.52 While Chandrapur district was expected to pay Rs 215 crore, Rs 357 crore was given. This year, a plan of Rs. 223.60 Sindhudurg district increased from Rs 113 crore to Rs 112 crore instead of Rs 225 crore. At this time, the scheme will be Rs. With an annual plan of Rs 118.55 crore in Nagpur district, Rs 226 crore in Chandrapur district and Rs 152 crore in Sindhudurg district, and Rs 107 crore in Wardha district, about Rs 190 crore will be deducted in 120 districts.

Decision on debt relief soon

'The information required for Mahatma Phule Farmers Debt Relief Scheme has not yet been received It is not clear if the beneficiary and the amount will be funded. Money will be credited to the farmers' loan account. The Cabinet will take a decision after the report of a committee set up to establish a policy on debt repayments of up to Rs 2 lakh and regular repayments, ”said Ajit Pawar.

While Maamatro's Aqualine was inaugurated, Nagpur's Guardian Minister Dr. Nitin Raut's 'off' mood was witnessed to the attendees.

Protests showing the face of the metro

Accusations of financial misconduct in the work of Mahamatro, activists of 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' protested the administration of the metro. The activists had arrived in front of the Subhashnagar Metro station with a display of protest. There they also tried to shine a board. However, they were immediately taken into custody.


महामेट्रोच्या अॅक्वालाइनचे एकीकडे लोकार्पण होत असताना ऐन कार्यक्रमात नागपूरचे पालकमंत्री डॉ. नितीन राऊत यांच्या 'ऑफ' झालेल्या मूडचे दर्शन उपस्थित नागरिकांना घडले. वृत्तपत्रांमध्ये प्रसिद्ध झालेल्या महामेट्रोच्या जाहिरातींमध्ये आपले नाव नसल्याने पालकमंत्र्यांची मेट्रो प्रशासनावर खप्पामर्जी झाली. त्याचवेळी माजी मुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस आणि केंद्रीय मंत्री नितीन गडकरी या दोन्ही नेत्यांवर त्यांनी जाहीर कार्यक्रमात शरसंधान केले.
लोकमान्यनगर ते सीताबर्डी या मार्गावरील मेट्रोचे लोकार्पण मंगळवारी करण्यात आले. या कार्यक्रमात उपस्थित आधीच्या राज्य सरकारमधील आणि सध्याच्या महाविकास आघाडी सरकारमधील मंत्री उपस्थित होते. या सर्व नेत्यांनी पक्षीय मतभेदांच्या पलीकडे जात विकासासाठी सगळ्यांनी विकासकामे केल्याची पावती दिली. फडणवीस यांच्या काळात नागपूरचा भरपूर विकास झाल्याचे गृहमंत्री अनिल देशमुख यांनी सांगितले. सुनील केदार यांनी नागपुरात विकास आणि राजकारण यांचा योग्य ताळमेळ असल्याचे मत व्यक्त केले. इतकेच नव्हे तर मुख्यमंत्री उद्धव ठाकरे आणि एकनाथ शिंदे यांनीदेखील गडकरी आणि फडणवीस यांच्या कामांची प्रशंसा केली. फडणवीस आणि गडकरी यांनीदेखील सर्वपक्षीय नेत्यांचे योगदान असल्याचे नमूद केले. सध्याच्या सरकारमध्ये मंत्री असलेल्यांच्या पाठीशी मी आणि फडणवीस असल्याचेही गडकरी यांनी भाषणात जाहीर केले. सर्वच नेते पक्षांच्या पलीकडे जात एकमेकांच्या कामांना दाद देत असल्याचे दिसून येत होते.
मात्र, पालकमंत्री डॉ. नितीन राऊत यांनी इतरांपेक्षा वेगळा सूर लावला.
मिहानमध्ये किती मिळाला रोजगार?
फडणवीस यांच्या काळात नेमके किती उद्योग आलेत, यावर संशोधन करण्याची गरज असल्याचे पालकमंत्री म्हणाले. नितीन गडकरी यांनी मिहानसंदर्भात यशवंत स्टेडियम येथे कार्यक्रम घेतला होता. नेमक्या किती लोकांना मिहानमध्ये रोजगार मिळाला, हे देखील बघायला हवे, असेही पालकमंत्री डॉ. राऊत म्हणाले. नागपुरातील सर्वच नेते एकमेकांबद्दल चांगल्या भावना व्यक्त करीत असताना पालकमंत्र्यांनी वेगळा सूर लावल्याने उपस्थितांमध्ये आश्चर्य व्यक्त होते.
मेट्रोला दिली ताकीद
दरम्यान, भाषणाच्या सुरुवातीलाच डॉ. नितीन राऊत यांनी मेट्रो प्रशासनावर आपला राग काढला. मेट्रो लोकार्पणाच्या वृत्तपत्रांमध्ये जाहिराती देण्यात आल्या. त्या जाहिरातींमध्येही पालकमंत्री डॉ. नितीन राऊत यांचे नाव नसल्याने पालकमंत्री डॉ. नितीन राऊत यांना राग आला. ऐन भाषणात त्यांनी याबाबत नाराजी व्यक्त केली आणि असे पुन्हा होऊ नये, अशी सक्त ताकीदही मेट्रो प्रशासनाला दिली.
पालकमंत्र्यांच्या या नाराजीनाट्याला गडकरी यांनी छेद दिला. फडणवीस यांच्या काळात नागपूरच्या विकासासाठी झालेल्या प्रयत्नांचा त्यांनी उल्लेख केला. या शिवाय, मेट्रोचे व्यवस्थापकीय संचालक ब्रिजेश दीक्षित यांनाही गडकरी यांनी प्रशस्तीपत्र दिले. दीक्षित यांनी अत्यंत चांगले काम केले असून, मेट्रो प्रकल्प पूर्ण झाल्यावर त्यांचा सर्वपक्षीय नागरी सत्कार करू, असेही गडकरी यांनी जाहीर करून टाकले.
मेट्रोचा फलक दाखवून निषेध
महामेट्रोच्या कामात आर्थिक गैरव्यवहार झाल्याचा आरोप करीत 'जय जवान जय किसान' संघटनेच्या कार्यकर्त्यांनी मेट्रो प्रशासनाचा निषेध केला. सुभाषनगर मेट्रो स्टेशनसमोर निषेधाचा फलक घेऊन हे कार्यकर्ते पोहोचले होते. तेथे त्यांनी फलक झळकविण्याचाही प्रयत्न केला. मात्र, त्यांना लगेचच ताब्यात घेण्यात आले.

State to Review its Power Tariff Hike Plan -Nitin  Raut

State to Review its Power Tariff Hike Plan -Nitin Raut

Image result for nitin raut nagpur

Nagpur: By Sanjay Patil: State power minister Nitin Raut said he has issued directives to review the tariff hike proposal put up before the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC).
The outgoing power secretary had come up with a proposal to hike the tariff which was initially agreed upon. However, as an after thought, it appeared that the increase is not warranted. Orders have been issued to review the move, the minister told on the sidelines of a function hosted by Vidarbha Industries Association .
“The government will ensure that the common man will not be affected due to any move to revise electricity tariff in the state. However, to ensure a lower tariff, steps will also have to be taken for reducing the cost of generation,” said Raut.
RB Goenka, vice-president of VIA and also the organization’s adviser on power sector, said the proposal includes a revenue demand of Rs60,000 crore to be recovered over a period of five years. On an average, it would lead to an increase in power bills by 7% to 8%, he said.
Since the tariff hike petition has already been put up before the MERC, the government will now have to either submit a review petition or withdraw the existing plea under section 108 of the Maharashtra State Electricity Act 2003, citing public interest. MERC has already issued notices to hear objections over the state’s tariff hike proposal, said Goenka.
MERC is a quasi judicial body whose approval is needed to implement any power hike, including that by the state government-owned power utilities.
Earlier addressing the VIA members, Raut said, “The state’s power utilities have pending due to the tune of Rs35,000 crore from the farm sector. There are plans to come up with a scheme under which the dues can be repaid on easy terms by the farmers. At the same time, there are sizeable dues from the government organizations also. Strict action would be taken against these type of defaulters like power cut during some parts of the day,”
Raut, who is also Nagpur’s guardian minister, said, “The previous government considered promoting solar power as a threat to the thermal electricity plants. The contention was that if the use of solar power goes up, the thermal plants can break down due to reduction in load factor.”
“The revival after that leads involves a major expenditure. However, it cannot be so. The state’s generation units do not supply power in Maharashtra alone. The plants can function on the load due to demand from other states too. Our government will not have an anti-solar power policy,” he said.
Raut said he has also directed the divisional commissioner (Nagpur) to form a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to revive the national industrial and manufacturing zone (NIMZ) at Bhiwapur that was planned during the Congress-NCP rule. “Already, 2,600 hectares of land have been acquired for the project and power supply can be arranged too,” he said.
नागपूर: महाराष्ट्र विद्युत नियामक आयोगासमोर (एमईआरसी) मांडलेल्या जाचक दरवाढीच्या प्रस्तावाचे पुनरावलोकन करण्याचे निर्देश दिल्याचे राज्याचे ऊर्जामंत्री नितीन राऊत यांनी सांगितले.
जाणारे उर्जा सचिव यांनी दर वाढीचा प्रस्ताव आणला होता ज्यावर सुरुवातीला सहमती झाली होती. तथापि, विचार केल्यानंतर, असे दिसून आले की ही वाढ नाही. विदर्भ इंडस्ट्रीज असोसिएशनने (व्हीआयए) आयोजित केलेल्या कार्यक्रमाच्या वेळी मंत्री टीओआयला म्हणाले की, या निर्णयाचा आढावा घेण्याचे आदेश देण्यात आले आहेत.
“राज्यात वीज दरात बदल करण्याच्या कोणत्याही निर्णयामुळे सर्वसामान्यांना त्रास होणार नाही याची खात्री सरकार करेल. तथापि, कमी दर निश्चित करण्यासाठी, उत्पादन खर्च कमी करण्यासाठीही पावले उचलण्याची गरज आहे, ”राऊत म्हणाले.
व्हीआयएचे उपाध्यक्ष आणि वीज क्षेत्रावरील संस्थेचे सल्लागार आरबी गोएंका म्हणाले की, या प्रस्तावात पाच वर्षांच्या कालावधीत वसूल करण्याची 60,000 कोटी रुपयांच्या महसुली मागणीचा समावेश आहे. ते म्हणाले की, वीज बिलांमध्ये सरासरी 7% ते 8% वाढ होते.
दर वाढीची याचिका एमईआरसीसमोर ठेवण्यात आली असल्याने आता सरकारला एकतर आढावा याचिका सादर करावी लागणार आहे किंवा जनहिताचा हवाला देऊन महाराष्ट्र राज्य विद्युत अधिनियम 2003 च्या कलम 108 नुसार विद्यमान याचिका मागे घ्यावी लागेल. राज्याच्या भाडेवाढीच्या प्रस्तावावर आक्षेप घेण्यासाठी एमईआरसीने यापूर्वीच नोटिसा बजावल्या आहेत, असे गोएंका म्हणाले.
एमईआरसी ही एक अर्ध न्यायिक संस्था आहे, ज्याची राज्य सरकारच्या मालकीच्या वीज उपयोगितांसह कोणत्याही वीज दरवाढीच्या अंमलबजावणीसाठी मंजूरी आवश्यक आहे.
त्याआधी व्हीआयए सदस्यांना संबोधित करताना राऊत म्हणाले, “शेती क्षेत्राकडून मिळणार्‍या 35,000 कोटी रुपयांच्या रकमेमुळे राज्यातील वीज उपयोगिता प्रलंबित आहेत. अशी योजना आखण्याची योजना आहे ज्या अंतर्गत शेतक farmers्यांद्वारे थकबाकीदारांना सोप्या अटींवर परतफेड करता येईल. त्याचबरोबर सरकारी संस्थांकडूनही मोठ्या प्रमाणात थकबाकी घेतली जाते. दिवसाच्या काही भागात वीज कट सारख्या प्रकारच्या डिफॉल्टर्सवर कडक कारवाई केली जाईल, ”
नागपूरचे पालकमंत्री असलेले राऊत म्हणाले, “मागील सरकारने सौरऊर्जेला प्रोत्साहन देणे औष्णिक वीज प्रकल्पांना धोका दर्शविले होते. मत असा आहे की सौरऊर्जेचा वापर वाढल्यास भारनियमन घटण्यामुळे औष्णिक प्रकल्प तुटू शकतात. ”
“त्यानंतरच्या पुनरुज्जीवनात मोठा खर्च होतो. तथापि, तसे होऊ शकत नाही. राज्यातील जनरेटिंग युनिट्स एकट्या महाराष्ट्रात वीजपुरवठा करत नाहीत. इतर राज्यांकडूनदेखील मागणी केल्यामुळे रोपे लोडवर कार्य करू शकतात. आमच्या सरकारकडे सौरऊर्जाविरोधी धोरण असणार नाही, ”ते म्हणाले.

कॉंग्रेस-राष्ट्रवादीच्या कारकीर्दीत आखण्यात आलेल्या भिवापूर येथे राष्ट्रीय औद्योगिक व उत्पादन क्षेत्र (एनआयएमझेड) पुनरुज्जीवित करण्यासाठी विभागीय आयुक्त (नागपूर) यांना विशेष प्रयोजन वाहन (एसपीव्ही) तयार करण्याचे निर्देशही त्यांनी दिले आहेत, असे राऊत म्हणाले. “या प्रकल्पासाठी यापूर्वी २,00०० हेक्टर जमीन अधिग्रहित करण्यात आली आहे आणि वीजपुरवठादेखील करता येईल,” ते म्हणाले
