"Since the positivity rate of Pune city has gone below the 5 per cent, the administration has decided to give more relaxation to the city," said Pawar, who is also the guardian minister of Pune district. The district and civic administration will observe the positivity rate in the city for the next two days, and if it remains below five per cent, level 2 relaxations will be applicable, he said. Pune mayor Murlidhar Mohol said the positivity rate in the civic limits of Pune has been at 4.95 per cent for one week. However, he said since the positivity rate in the suburb of Pimpri Chinchwad and Pune rural is little above 5 and 10 per cent respectively, these areas will continue to have restrictions as per the level 3 and 4 respectively.

Open Letter Based on the issues raised in this article, an ‘Open Letter for Urgent Probe into Maharashtra Irrigation Scam by an Independent Credible Agency’ endorsed by over 27 mass based and research organisations and eminent individuals was sent by SANDRP to the Prime Minister, Chief Minister and Governor of Maharashtra, Union Ministries of Water Resources & Environment and Forests, Planning Commission, Central Water Commission, CAG, CVC and National Advisory Committee (headed by Smt Sonia Gandhi), requesting urgent intervention to institute a probe by an Independent, Credible commission. The letter has been endorsed by National Alliance of People's Movements, India Against Corruption, Shramik Mukti Sangathana, Shramik Adivasi Sangathana, Samajwadi Jan Parishad, Yamuna Jiye Abhiyaan, SOPPECOM, among others. Medha Patkar, Shri Ramaswamy Iyer, former secretary, Union Water Resources Ministry, whistle blower Anjali Damania, Prof Bharat Jhunjhunwala, Prof Pradeep Purandare and Prof Brij Gopal are some of the persons who have endorsed the letter. We got some response from the office of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and CAG. Subsequent to our letter, news reports showed that the Prime Ministers’ office, Union Water Resources Ministry and Central Water Commission has started investigations in some of these issues. What is unfolding over the last few months on the issue of corruption in irrigation projects in Maharashtra is unprecedented in many senses. However, one thing clearly stands out: Never before in the history of independent India has the links between politicians, contractors, engineers and bureaucrats been exposed more clearly.

  • How Political Parties Exploit the Anti-Defection Law to Form Governments
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 How Political Parties Exploit the Anti-Defection Law to Form Governments EPW ENGAGE The Anti-Defection Law has several loopholes that obstruct the democratic functioning of the electoral process. After the assembly elections in October 2019, government formation in Maharashtra has been a roller-coaster ride that has stretched on for much longer than it should have. As the rift between long-term allies, Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) became apparent, political parties renegotiated their positions, with the Congress dithering in declaring a position. At the centre of the myriad of controversies was the National Congress Party (NCP), with Ajit Pawar claiming deputy-chief ministership alongside Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the BJP candidate, while NCP President Sharad Pawar remained allegedly ignorant. Following this event, Sharad Pawar warned the elected members of the legislative assembly (MLAs) from his party about switching sides, saying they would be penalised under the anti-defection law, even as he took no punitive action against his nephew Ajit Pawar. The Fadnavis-led government was subjected to a floor test ordered by the Supreme Court, after which Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena was invited to form the government. Government formation, especially in the states, has become a messy affair, with political parties frequently resorting to quarantining their MLAs in hotels to avoid horse-trading in a bid to retain their majority. Recent examples can be found in Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh Defection was a problem that had cropped up in the early decades after independence, and the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution (or the Anti-Defection Law) was ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 introduced to mitigate this problem.

  • NCP and Irrigation Scam Politics
    Press Statement July 25, 2012 NCP’s increasingly clearer Dam Scam Links: Were the NCP’s links with Big dam lobby in Maharashtra ever more obvious? Even as the ongoing episode of conflict between NCP (National Congress Party) and Congress gets more intense, the reasons NCP’s unhappiness seem to lie somewhere closer to home: in Maharashtra. NCP leaders have in recent past identified so closely with the big dam lobby that this link with the dam lobby had never been more obvious. They have promptly taken on whoever has been critical of performance of large dams in the state, be it the Chief Minister, the Governor, the media or the civil society.1 This note highlights these aspects, but this does not mean that other political parties in Maharashtra are without blame. If Congress and the opposition parties had taken effective action earlier, things would not have come to this pass, but during the past ten years when corruption and inefficiency in water resources sector in Maharashtra was blatant, none of the political parties systematically followed up the issue. The NCP seems especially miffed with Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan, who has been asking for a white paper on the Irrigation Projects and Governor K. Shankaranarayanan who, in his speech in March chided the govt. for performing dismally on irrigation and asked for probe into Kondhane Dam. He also directed that no new irrigation projects should be taken up in Western Maharashtra, considering the irrigation backlog of other regions. The Water Resource Ministry in Maharashtra’s NCP-Congress coalition government has been with the NCP since its inception in 1999 to 2012 (till date).
