    RAJYA SABHA _________ ∗SYNOPSIS OF DEBATE _________ (Proceedings other than Questions and Answers) _________ Monday, March 26, 2012/Chaitra 06, 1934 (Saka) _________ GOVERNMENT BILL The Indian Forest (Amendment) Bill, 2012-Introduced ________ MATTERS RAISED WITH PERMISSION OF THE CHAIR I. Jawans deserting Central Para-Military Force SHRI S.S. AHLUWALIA: I want to draw the attention of the House towards a news item published in a national daily. The jawans of para-military forces are either taking VRS or resigning their services. They work in utterly stress situation. There is no de-stressing programme for them. Their service conditions are very poor. Their promotional avenues are also bleak. A jawan becomes a commandant in 30 years. They are killed while fighting with the terrorists. Facilities like leave, bullet proof jackets and weapons are not available with them. The incidents of their suicides are also increasing. I urge upon the Government to take immediate action in the interest of the para- military forces personnels. ___________________________________________________ ∗ This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 144 (Shri Raghunandan Sharma, Shri Vinay Katiyar, Shri Tarun Vijay, Shri Avinash Rai Khanna, Dr. Chandan Mitra and Shri M. Rama Jois associated.) II. Intrusion two by Chinese Helicopters into Indian Territory SHRIMATI MAYA SINGH: Every countryman is enraged with the mischievous activities of China. Near the Indo-Tibetan border, a Chinese helicopter intruded and remained hovering for 15 minutes in the Indian region on 16th March, 2012. We should take the said incident seriously. The Indian agencies did not take any satisfactory action in this respect.

    Bharatiya Janata Party (Central Office) 11, Ashok Road, New Delhi- 110001 Date: November 30, 2014 Salient points of speech by BJP National President, Shri Amit Shah at Victoria House in Kolkata BJP National President Shri Amit Shah addressed Vijay Divas rally at Victoria House in Kolkata on Sunday. Addressing more than one lakh BJP workers and supporters on this occasion Shri Amit Shah called for end of Trinamul Congress rule in West Bengal and vote for a BJP led government in next assembly election in the state. Shri Shah Said, “You must have seen that 'Didi' (Mamata Banerjee) did not want to give us permission to hold this rally. She forced authority to restrict the size of the stage so that less people can sit. Didi, you can restrict the size of the stage but you cannot take BJP out of heart of the people of West Bengal. The presence of the large number of people at this rally shows that countdown for TMC’s departure has begun. West Bengal Unit of the BJP celebrate November 30 as ‘Vijay Divas’ every year, I am participating second time in this function. But I want to assure you that next year November 30 will be the ‘Patan Divas’ of TMC. It is certain. If a government restrict the feelings of the people it cannot continue long which ever government it is. That government always sees its downfall. Shri Shah told that West Bengal today is on a historical crossroad. After the 27 year regime of communist era people have elected TMC government with great hope.

More amendments likely to the Insurance Bill - The Hindu Business Line Industry 1 The Select Committee on the Insurance Bill is expected to propose four amendments to the Bill, including IRDA Reg 4 enhancing the minimum capital for health insurance companies and compulsory provision by insurers for agent commissions. The Committee completed its discussions on all clauses of the Bill and, at a meeting held Life 4 here on Wednesday, decided to submit its report two days ahead of its December 12 deadline.

It is also recommending that fresh shares should be Global News 7 issued during the sale of shares of Indian companies to a foreign owner so that FDI helps in capital 6 enhancement. Another idea is to make a compulsory provision for commissions to be given to agents by insurers. “This is to help lakhs of insurance agents in the country,” a panel member told BusinessLine. The Committee wants the report of independent surveyors to be made mandatory for settling the claims over Rs 20,000 — a provision that was part of the original Bill. The Committee is, however, likely to add that as the rate of Rs 20,000 was decided much earlier, the IRDA may prescribe a new limit in this regard.
