Lucknow (PNS): The Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) allotted a 25-acre plot to Shalvis Specialities Limited in Sumerpur Industrial Area of Hamirpur district in Bundelkhand region. All the clearances were given on priority basis, said the authority in an official statement released on Friday. Shalvis Specialties Limited would set up a manufacturing unit of pesticides and specialty chemicals on the allotted land. The proposed pro- ject was worth Rs 250 crore which would create 1500 jobs and the production at the plant was expected to begin in next five years, the UPSIDA statement said. Shalvis Specialities, a subsidiary of India Pesticides, has already established a manufacturing unit of fungicides, herbicides and pesticides formu- lations in UPSIDA industrial area at Sandila in Hardoi district in central UP. The project has been categorised as a mega one as it produced key inputs for agriculture, along with food processing, which has been identified as the thrust sector in the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy-2017 (IIEPP-2017). Bundelkhand region has already attracted Hindustan Unilever which has recently been allot- ted land in this area. Unilever also plans to invest Rs 364 crore in the region that would provide employ- ment to nearly 700 people. The UPSIDA said that such big-ticket projects indicated that Bundelkhand was rising as an industrial hub in lines with the vision of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

 ! Lucknow (PNS): In view of the threat of third Covid wave, the Lucknow division of North-Eastern Railway is conducting intensive checking to ensure adherence to Covid protocol at the railway stations. The drive is being carried out on the instructions of DRM, NER, Monica Agnihotri. In a drive at Lucknow Junction, a team challaned 36 people who were not wearing masks while two were fines for littering the railway station premises. PRO, NER, Mahesh Gupta said the team also conducted ticket checking in train numbers 02554, 05044, 02593, 05010, 02533, 02538, 02108, 05085 and 02229 and challaned 125 people traveling without tickets. “A penalty of Rs 1.11 lakh was realised from these passengers,” he informed mediapersons. Gupta said the NER has appealed to passengers to not enter the railway stations without journey tick- ets or platform tickets. “The passengers have also been asked to strictly adhere to Covid protocols and not litter the trains or platforms,” he said. He added that surprise checkings would be conducted at other railway stations as well. The team which carried out the drive consisted of the railway staff of Lucknow division of NER and RPF personnel. ()! *$&

-  . #& *&# Lucknow (PNS): The Rashtriya Lok Dal has asked the Central government to make the data related to groundwater level and its quality public. In a statement, RLD national spokesperson Anupam Mishra said it was strange that though the air quality data was made public, the groundwater level and its data were not made public. He said it was beyond comprehension that such an important and sensitive subject which was directly related to human life was not taken up seriously by the poli- cy makers and responsible officials. “It is known to everyone that the groundwater level is not only declining all over the country but the quality of groundwater is also deteriorating, Mishra pointed out. Criticising the Union govern- ment and the Jal Shakti minister, Mishra said that when technology had developed so much and was being used in almost every sphere of life, why was it not being used in the field of water? He demanded to know why digital piezometers were not being widely used. “It is worth mention- ing that the fall in groundwater level and the speed of its decline can be accurately detected by a piezome- ter,” he said. The RLD leader said in order to save the falling groundwater level and its quality, the gov- ernment should frame a policy and ensure its imple- mentation on a war footing otherwise the country would soon be facing a new disaster.  !" $! %&' (' )*+,-,)    6
