Is NMSEZ project a big flop?
By Dinesh Kamath
NAVI MUMBAI: Between the years 2000
and 2004, City and Industrial Development
Corporation had come
up with the idea of
forming a Special Economic Zone within
Navi Mumbai. This
was called Navi Mumbai SEZ.
Navi Mumbai SEZ
Private Limited had
been appointed as the
Special Planning Authority (SPA) under the
Maharashtra Regional
& Town Planning Act,
1966, for the notified
areas in Dronagiri,
Kalamboli, Ulwe (Airport) and Ulwe (Waterfront) Nodes of Navi
Mumbai.
As a Special Planning Authority, NMSEZ had the roles and
responsibilities to (i)
Formulate Development Control Regulations and Norms; (ii)
Control and monitor
development / Implementation and enforcement of the Master
Plan; (iii) Grant /
Officer, stop! When I
told you to fire that rioter I meant ‘shout at
him’ and not ‘shoot
him’.
4 FSI for cluster
development
The provision applicable for
the re-development of
dilapidated CIDCO buildings
refuse development permission at plot-level
and revocation / modification etc.; (iv) Grant
/ refuse Occupancy Certificate for constructed
premises; and (v) such
other roles and responsibilities as enumerated in the Maharashtra
Regional and Town
Planning Act, 1966.
It was CIDCO MD
Lakhina and General
Manager
Suhas
Thakar who had hit
upon this idea of forming SEZ and CIDCO’s
stake was around 26%.
Tenders regarding
this scheme were called
in 2002/03 and letter of
indent was issued in
February 2004. It was
decided that 1900 hectares of land would be
given for constructing
of SEZ. However, ulti-
mately 1842 hectare of
plot was granted. Agencies like Videocon representing the company
Sea King, Nikhil Gandhi representing SKIL,
Hiranandani representing Hiranandani
Constructions and Avinash Bhosale representing Avinash Bhosale Infra Pvt. Ltd

Hendve
VASHI: In a significant move, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has
offered 4.0
FSI under
the cluster
developm e n t
scheme.
The chief
minister
announced
the decision
in Legislative Assembly on
Thursday.
This is interpreted
as a pre-election largesse to the city which
will be going for civic
elections in the next
few weeks. Earlier, the
government had announced the regular-
ization of an estimated 20,000 unauthorised structures,
mostly
in
the
gaothans, and also provide piped
water to an
equal number
of
slums. All
the slums
which existed before 1
J a n u a r y,
2000 will be
eligible to
the benefit.
“I have been able
to get these provisions
cleared through continuous follow up
with the government,”
said MLA Manda
Mhatre who called a
press conference to
announce the good
news.
Mathadi union to organize general labour strike on 16 April
By Chandrashekhar Hendve
VASHI: Maharashtra Rajya Mathadi,
transport and General Kamgar Union has
called for a wide
spread labour strike
to protest against the
anti-labour laws
proposed by the
government. The
decision was announced at a kamgar
melawa held at
APMC market on 12
March, 2015.
Among the union’s
major demands are –
1) Appointment of
union representatives on the Mathadi advisory com-
mittee
2) Re-organise Matha-
CMYK
di Mandals and
appoint labour
representatives on
each
3) Regularise Bazar
committees and
appoint labour
representatives on
them
4) Apply the provisions of mathadi
act to all industrial
units
5) Give dearness
allowance to
labourers listed
under the Mathadi
board.
The congregation
ended with a press
conference which was
addressed by MLC
Narendra Patil, MLA
Shashikant Shinde,
labour leader Baba
Adhav and others.

Sena outwits NCP
Inaugurates the vegetable

Mayor was to do so
By Vijay Bhor
CBD-Belapur: The
one-up-man-ship between NCP and Shiv
Sena, the two main contenders for power in the
city, continues taking
bizarre forms at time.
This time, it was Shiv
Sena which had its way.
NMMC has built a

Duo selling fake visas lands in police net
By Vikram Gaikwad
CBD-BELAPUR: Two
men selling fake visas
to unwary citizens have
been rounded up by the
crime branch of city
police.
The accused Aslam
Arshad Khan (44) and
Venugopal Damodaran
Nair (45), were operating as passport agents.
Naturally, they were
coming in contact with
people going abroad.
Whenever someone was
not able to get his or her
visa in time, they were
also offering to help him
out. Their fame had
spread and one of the
men who sought their
help was a youth from
mane. When the market, named after
Maasaheb Meenatai
Thackeray, was ready,
the administration as is
its wont made arrangements to get it inaugurated by Mayor Sagar
Naik. Before the programme could be announced, Shiv Sainiks
got a scent of it. They
rushed forward and got
it inaugurated by their
Shahar Pramukh K N
Mhatre on Thursday.
Whether the Mayor
will still perform the
‘official inauguration’
remains to be seen.
NMMC teachers
score a naught
Not a teacher gets through in the
TET conducted by the state
By Vikram Gaikwad
CBD-BELAPUR: NMMC’s education department, which is used to
boasting about the high
quality of education it
is offering, must be
feeling crestfallen. Not
a single civic teacher
has passed the Teacher Eligibility Test conducted by the government to assess the
quality of teachers in
the state.
Teacher Eligibility
Test has been designed
to assess the quality of
teachers on its pay roll.
It is common for teachers from municipal, ZP,
3
aided and unaided
schools. And this time,
NMMC has sent about
150 of its teachers to
appear for it.
It has turned out
that not a single teacher from NMMC’s
ranks has passed the
test. That is a bad
record for the department which claims
credit every time some
student comes out
with high scores. The
success if any should
be ascribed to the hard
work of the students
rather than the good
quality of teachers, say
observers.

Mazgaon. They agreed
to provide a visa to Kuwait and the youth had
paid Rs 60,000 for their
service. When he examined the visa, however,
he learnt that it is a
fake one. Aggrieved, he
lodged a complaint with
Navi Mumbai police.
Accordingly, the
crime branch started
investigation. Learning
through their informers that the duo is expected to visit Koperkhairane on Monday, the crime branch
team led by API Prithviraj Ghorpade and PSI
Bharat Jadhav lay in
wait. As the duo arrived, they were round-
ed up. A search of their
persons showed that
they were carrying seven fake visas for Kuwait and a few pass
ports. All those who
have been cheated by
them are requested to
contact the police.
Police are trying to
find out where the two
were getting their visas
done and which other
clients they have sold
them. They are also trying to find out which
other countries they
had prepared visas for.
466 industrial units closed
By a staff reporter
CBD-Belapur: “Navi Mumbai had 240 industrial units closed in 2008. The figure has risen to
466 in 2015,” said industry minister Subhash
Desai the other day. He was replying to question
raised by MLA Sandeep Naik in the legislative
assembly. “Lack of demand for the products, shortage of working capital, power shortage, non availability of raw materials and increasing competition in the market place are some of the reasons
for the closure,” he explained.

Chappie
Chappie (stylized as CHAPPiE) is an American
science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp.

In the near future,

force. But now, the
people are fighting
back. When one police
droid, Chappie, is
stolen and given new programming, he becomes
the first robot with the ability to think and feel for
himself. As powerful, destructive forces start to
see Chappie as a danger to mankind and order,
they will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo
and ensure that Chappie is the last of his kind.

midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme,
she throws his plans for a loop…and the

being there that night, tries to make up for it by
treating her to a luxurious desert holiday. As they
stop on a Highway dhaba for dinner, they witness
a young girl being picked up by a bunch of
hoodlums. Arjun chooses to step in, unmindful of
the danger ahead.

Karnataka Defend Ranji Title With Ease
Text and Photos
by Ashok Dhamija
MUMBAI: Defending
champions Karnataka
registered a comprehensive innings and
217-run win over their
neighbours Tamil
Nadu in the Ranji Trophy 2014-15 final at the
Wankhede Stadium,
Mumbai on Thursday.
In the process they became the only team besides Mumbai to retain
the trophy more than
once. Karnataka had
earlier won the trophy
consecutively in 199798 (under Rahul Dravid) and 1998-99 (under
Sunil Joshi).
Karnataka maintained their unbeaten
track record into the final, as they sent the
Tamil Nadu fielders on
a leather hunt for nearly four days of the five
day summit match by
scoring 762 runs in the
first innings, after
bowling them out for
134 on day 1. Their innings was powered by
23 year old Karun
Nair’s record-breaking
328 and complemented
by Lokesh Rahul’s 188

together since they
were under-13. Karnataka captain, Vinay

haul in the first innings and followed it up
with a century (his sec-

Tamil Nadu (were 628 runs ajar) for
411 in the second innings on the fifth
day after tea to seal the title despite
contrasting centuries by Vijay Shankar (103) and Dinesh Karthik (120)

Nadu had to settle for Rs. 1 Crore.

overall
since their maiden
one in 1973-74) with an
all-round performance
in the post match press
conference said “The
first day and the first
innings were crucial in
deciding the outcome of
the game. I won’t say
it was easy. In the first
innings we bowled really well and that’s the
reason we have got this
result. Had they got
around 300-350 runs it
would have been difficult. They are a good
side. They bowled really well but we tackled
them well as a batting
unit. We were taking it
one game at a time and
not thinking much
about retaining the trophy. Our goal was just
to try and win every
game that made our
goal (journey) easier
and this is the result.”
About his own performance he further added “For me, the team
comes first. I wanted to
win the Ranji Trophy
and my performance
also contributed to it for
which I am happy. I
am also working hard
to come back into the
Indian team and every
match is very important for me. I will always try to give my best

Star Performers In 26th NMSA Inter
Office Cricket Tournament
There is nothing wrong with the documentary
Indians are busy debating whether the government’s action in getting a court order restraining the telecast of the documentary, India’s
Daughter, by the British film-maker Leslee Udwin, is right or wrong.
The work has been banned from public viewing for the sole reason that
it contains some repugnant comments by the convict, blaming the victim for the rape and murder. The convict said that she could have survived had she not resisted rape.
In this documentary, the criminals do accept that they did crime,
still our government needs time to decide the fate of this case. This
documentary should be broadcast to make people realise the true perspectives and educate them to decide for themselves.
Get to the basics and make serious attempts in getting society’s
attitude towards young women. The government should send an Indian
delegation to the Western countries to find out how Western males and
females look at each other and accordingly bring about changes in the
way Indian men and women look at each other.
Leslee Udwin is not a typical film director or a popular cinema producer but from journalism stream of BBC. She had managed to obtain
‘No objection certification’ letter from Home Ministry and the permission from the Jail authorities.
The ban is amateurish and immature. In fact, such remarks and
reviews should be brought to light to make the society realise what
mindset we Indians are living with. Instead of debating on how to make
the streets safe for women and how to empower them, we are debating
on banning the film.
Leslee Udwin did something which no Indian male or female journalist could do. She went and interviewed the convict. Only when one
interviews the culprit you get to see that evil which actually resides in
these people. These evils deserve to be eradicated. The documentary all
the more justifies the death sentence given to them. The mind set has
to change. The government is fighting hard for its country’s embarrassment then for its very own women. Truth is bitter and the country has
to face it. If really female dignity was important why is justice being
delayed? It’s been more than a year and the culprits are still alive.
Udwin has attempted to highlight how the nation sweep down women’s issues and problems perpetrated by the misogynists under the carpet, how the people in power ‘frame charges and fix responsibilities’
and kill freedom of speech. It is a well made film and extremely sensitive to the issue. The parents of Jyoti Singh were involved in the film
and the film does bring out their pain and their anguish at the delay in
the administration of justice. The parents despite their disadvantages
have come across as extremely dignified and unrevengeful. They just
want justice. More to the point is what one of the perpetrators’ lawyers
said. He said that plenty of those sitting in Parliament are guilty of
similar crimes. But they will not be tried. Perhaps that hurts. Hence the
ban.
The film doesn’t defame India. Yes, the Indian justice system would
be offended, when it is pointed out it is sitting on a fast track case for
this long.
It is abundantly clear from the documentary that those who commit
such heinous crimes are not the ones who do any soul searching before
or after the crime. This documentary is about as likely to prevent rape
as a 9-11 documentary is at preventing future terror attacks.
People who want to see positive changes happening in Indian society
should not be swayed by emotions. Every right thinking person would
agree that Leslee Udwin’s intention behind doing the documentary is
not to malign our nation’s image but instead to make the world come
together for gender equality. the documentary has to be viewed by the
people of the country not with the sense what the convict has to say but
with a wider perspective, the various challenges that the Indian societies are victim of.
There are some hysterical feminists, who have an anti-male ideology, and want to shame Indian males through bad-mouthing one unfortunate incident. Why the government wants to ban the film? The documentarian is doing quite a bit in starting a dialogue and educating the
society by very thought provoking portrayal of all the forces at work
here - human emotions, dreams, poverty, power. Let the society debate
what is right and wrong. Then law enforcement and legal departments
will have much less work. The documentary should be seen as holding a
mirror unto the society.

Corporator Navin M Gavte
is in trouble
NMMC yet to receive police report
By Umesh Parida
DIGHA: The corporator Navin Moreshwar
Gavte is in trouble following a complaint
against him which is
not disposed off yet as
per the NMMC’s reply
in February. The corporator is allegedly facing
the problem related to
illegal construction case
which has not been
cleared by the NMMC
with the clearance certificate.
The
corporator
asked the NMMC as to
when he will receive the
clearance certificate.
The NMMC Commissioner has already rejected the complaint and
had cancelled the same.
However, he has not received the clearance certificate.
In his reply, the
NMMC says that illegal
construction is alleged to
be in Bindu Madhav
Nagar, Digha. The notice against the illegal
construction was issued
on 12 February 2009. He
questioned that if the il-
legal construction has
not been done by Navin
M Gavte as he claims,
then why such a notice
has been issued against
his name. He has asked
to cancel the notice on 1
November 2012.
The NMMC says
that the then Commissioner had directed to
conduct a police inquiry and initiate a case
against the illegal construction on 14 August
2013. Accordingly the

joined.
The aims of the
zones included: increased trade, increased investment, job
creation and effective
administration. To encourage businesses to
set up in the zone, financially libertarian
policies are introduced.
It was motivated by the
desire to attract foreign
direct investment
(FDI). The benefits a
company gains by being in a Special Economic Zone may mean
it can produce and
trade goods at a globally competitive price
thereby generating
greater economic activity and employment
through their establishment.
The objectives of
SEZs can be explained
as: Generation of additional economic activity; Promotion of exports
of goods and services;
Promotion of investment from domestic
and foreign sources;
Creation of employment
opportunities; Development of infrastructure
facilities.

for formation of SEZ in

hectares of land was
allotted, 1250 hectares
of land at Dronagiri,
242 hectares of land at
DCO had parted with
1842 hectares of land.
So the total cost of plot
granted for constructing SEZ was Rs 1174
crores. This amount
was paid to CIDCO.
CIDCO allotted land

were acquired by making the residents of
these regions to vacate
and part with their

Extension of SEZ is

UDD and CIDCO Director and MD and
Chief Planner is also involved in a big way in
this ambitious
project.
As per rule,
if a plot is granted by CIDCO to
a company for a
particular
project, and if
the project is not
completed within four years,
CIDCO has the
right to collect a
huge fine as penalty from this
company. Also
CIDCO has the
right to take
back the allotted
land if the
project is not
completed within six years. The
decision to pursue the
SEZ project was made
in 2004 and accordingly a huge quantity of
land was allotted to the
companies who were assigned to pursue this
project but even after
11 years have elapsed,
the project has not yet
started and CIDCO is
sitting quiet and is not
caring to take any kind
of action against the
defaulting companies.
The losers in this game
are none other than
those who parted with
their lands and to
whom CIDCO made big
promises. For example,
a huge expanse of land
in JNPT area is remaining barren for
years and no constructive work has begun
over there.
Hundreds of farmers in Maharashtra’s
Raigad district are demanding that their
land, which was acquired for a special economic zone (SEZ)
project that may now
have to be shelved, be
returned to them. So
the farmers plan to file
a petition asking for
their land to be returned. Many farmers
who have sold their land
have joined the petition
already
What is CIDCO doing about this?
