By Chandrashekhar Hendve

NAVI MUMBAI, March
13, 2015 – The 1.12-km
long Mahape junction
flyover, a vital link to

roads, was inaugurated
today at the hands of
Mr. Eknath Shinde,
Guardian Minister, District Thane while Dr.
Ranjit Patil, State Minister for Urban Devel-
opment Department

Committee appointed to look

By Chandrashekhar Hendve
CBD-BELAPUR: “The
BJP-Shiv Sena alliance
government is eager to
wind up the toll nakas
across the state. It is
however helpless in the
light of the irrevocable
contracts signed by the
predecessor government with the companies under the PPP
model,” said Thane district Guardian Minister
Eknath Shinde at CBD
on Friday. He was addressing pressmen on
the burning issue.
“This is akin to leasing out public roads to
private companies. It is
hurting the motorists
and government is
greatly concerned
about it. We are ready
to make one time payment if the problem can
be solved,” he added.
“The government
has appointed a Committee under the chairmanship of P C Joshi to
study the legal aspects.
A firm decision will be
taken after receiving its
report,” he said.

Man refuses to marry the girl after
8 years of relationship: arrested
By Vikram Gaikwad
CBD-BELAPUR: A 38
year old man has
been arrested in
response to a complaint of cheating by
a girl who is reported
to have maintained
physical relationship
with him for eight
years.
The accused Nitin
Krishna Koli (38) and
his 41 year old
unmarried ‘girl
friend’ worked in the
same office in Prabhat Building in CBD.
Eventually, they
developed amorous
relationship and used
to have sex frequently. All along, Koli
promised to marry
her but would find
one excuse or the
other whenever she
sought a date to
formalize the marriage. In the mean-
time, he also kept on
taking money from
her which has totaled
up to Rs 14 lakhs.
Tired of hearing his
excuses, the girl is
reported to have
pressed him to formalize the marriage. That
is when he said a firm
no. Distraught, the
girl sought the money
back. Instead of
returning her money,
he started assaulting

10-year old girl molested;
man arrested
By Vikram Gaikwad
KOPERKHAIRANE: A
resident of Koperkhairane is accused of molesting a 10-year old
neighbor on Friday.
The
accused,
Ramesh Mishra, is a
resident of Sector-19,
Koperkhairane.
Though married, he
used to stay alone as
his family used to live
away in their native
place in UP. Over the
years, he had developed
friendly relations with
a family in the neighbourhood and he used
to visit them frequently.
On Friday too, he
happened to visit the
neighbouring house
when he found the 10year old girl alone at
home. He tried to befriend her by giving her
Rs 10. Then he is reported to have started
behaving indecently
and tried to molest her.
The aggrieved girl
somehow managed to
free herself from his
clutches and ran out
into freedom. She reported the matter to
her parents later in the
evening. The parents
in turn lodged a police
complaint.
Koperkhairane police has
registered a case of
molestation and arrested Mishra.

Navi Mumbai Police’s Script Sensational Win Over

Indo-Pak problems can be solved only
when India receives US support
The Modi government deserves to be praised for wanting to
open up to South Asia in a big way. The government wants a peaceful South Asia since a peaceful region will be key to realising India’s own growth potential.
But the problem for India is the attitude of Pakistan. After Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif, along with other SAARC leaders, was invited to attend Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony last May,
it raised hopes for a positive engagement. But since then, Pakistani and Indian forces have been exchanging fire intermittently
across the Line of Control and the international border. That is
worrying India.
We have been having these talks with Pakistan for a long time
and all we see is how both the parties talk and how Pakistan most
of the time don’t abide. Then why hold these futile talks at all. It is
high time India indulged in tough talk. Until Pakistan stops encouraging the terrorist groups there will be no use of these visits/
talks.
The summit style diplomacy which focuses much on hype and
personality cult of respective leaders has yielded less than desired outcomes when it comes to Indo-Pak relationships. Instead
pragmatic, realistic and issue based diplomacy which includes
every significant stakeholder and which tries to arrive at decision
after taking into account every significant issue, may actually produce small yet lasting results.
Pakistan is a tough nut to crack. It’s own political atmosphere
is riddled by clerics, Taliban, ISI, army and a PM who is always at
the receiving end of all these. India has no choice but to continue
to engage in a dialogue, at times successfully and most of it in a
deadlock.
As history of last 65 years shows, the biggest stumbling block
between India and Pakistan coming together as friendly neighbours has been the internal situation of that country and the dominance of Pak Army in external matters specially concerning India. Add to that the obsession of most political parties of Pakistan
on Kashmir issue, despite knowing the fact that Kashmir issue
can never be solved on Pakistan or Kashmir separatists’ terms.
These are the two complicating factors.
It seems successive Indian governments make a show of talking to Pakistan to silence the Indian media and some intellectuals
who do not tire of advocating talks with that country, no matter
that the outcome is well known.
Every time there is an upswing in US-Pak relationship, the Pakistani swagger and bravado goes up a few notches. Now, the greater involvement of China in Afghan affairs emboldens it even more.
Whenever the Indian Government attempts to improve relationship with Pakistan there are certain ground realities that are
to be considered, if some success has to be achieved by such a
move. (1) Pakistan is not a purely Government controlled state;
but the country works under four parallel controls: The elected
Government; the Army; the ISI; Mullahs (Terror groups). (2) One
main contentious issue is that of Kashmir, vis-a-vis the “disputed” Pak controlled area. (3) There are some splinter groups here
such as the Hurriat, Separatists etc. (4) There is the Dawood issue. Unless all of these Groups are allowed to be involved in a
combined discussion, any talks for a resolution would be futile.
The earlier we decide to look at these realities, the better would
be the possibility for some solution. We should achieve success
before Chinese enters into the fray.
If only India wins the support of US, we will be in a position to
solve all the Indo-Pak problems. We will have to wait and see as
to when US will withdraw its support to Pakistan and lend us its
support.

Construction of Fire brigade staff
quarter faces the slushy soil issue
By Umesh Parida
NERUL: The Navi
Mumbai Municipal
Corporation is constructing residential
flats for the fire
brigade officers and
staff in Nerul. The
Sec 11-A staff quarter’s construction was
supposed to get
completed by January
2015. However, the
work has not been
completed as the
construction faced the
slushy soil problem.
This is learnt from
NMMC.
The local corporator Suresh R Ithape
raised a query in the
February general
assembly session
seeking reasons why
the work was not
completed on time.
She has said that the
work should have
been completed by 15
January this year.
She wants the status

In reply to the
corporator, the
NMMC said that the
work is under
progress. The residential complex was
based on ‘open foundation’. However,
when the construction work started the
soil was found to be
‘Soft or Slushy’. This
affected the open

Don’t fear challenges, says
Sindhutai Sapkal
By Umesh Parida
KHARGHAR: The noted social activist
Sindhutai Sapkal called
upon the women not to
be afraid during tough
times. She was addressing the International
Women’s Day program
held in Gaondevi
ground in Kharghar.
The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shivgarjan Mitra Mandal,
Sec 12 Kharghar, had
jointly organized the
event. While delivering
her keynote address to
the august gathering
she cited how she was
thrown out of her inlaws’ home while she
was just in her 20s. She
had a ten-day-old baby
girl then. She said that
she had contemplated
suicide then but fate
had something else
stored for her.
Then she started
earning her livelihood
by begging in the train
and singing songs inside
the compartments. She
slept in the cemetery,
which was then known
as the grounds of
‘Bhoots’ or Ghosts.
Many issues plagued her
but she never lost her
spirit.
She also called upon
the gathering to forgive
others since that is humanity. “To forgive is divine. One rises in status
while forgiving others,”
she said. She called upon
the women folk to come
out and make life successful even during the
adverse time. The meeting was attended by Panvel Municipal Council
President Charusheela
K Gharat and many others.
