At this stage, CEO, Cantt Board stated that due to urgency, the Supplementary issue (Item No. 20) relating to “Devolution of Powers of Vice Presidents of Cantonment Boards and Constitution of Three Committees” is required to be discussed on priority basis and thus, the issue was taken up for discussion, at initial stage.

20 DEVOLUTION OF POWERS OF VICE PRESIDENTS OF CANTONMENT BOARDS AND CONSTITUTION OF THREE COMMITTEES – REGARDING.

Ref : DGDE, Delhi Cantt. letter No. 29/Business Regulation/C/DE/2021 dt. 03.02.2021, addressed to PDDEs, all Commands and copy endorsed to CEOs of Cantonment Boards.

Vide ibid letter in Para 2(i), it was intimated that MoD vide letter No. 14(12)/2018- D(Q&C) dt. 23.12.2019, issued instructions for implementation by all CBs regarding Constitution of three more Committees viz. the Finance Committee, the Education Committee & the Health & Environment Committee under section 48(e) of the Cantonments Act, 2006 and also advise all the Cantonment Boards to suitably amend their Business Regulations for constitution of said Committees consistent with the composition and delegate roles and responsibilities and functions suggested by the Government, etc. 1

In para-4 of ibid DGDE letter dt. 03.02.2021, it was mentioned that The draft Business Regulations received from Cantt Boards have been examined. It is observed that the Cantt Boards have constituted the three committees and have empowered them by assigning the duties and responsibilities of the Board, as suggested in the MoD letter dt. 23.12.2019.

20 RESOLUTION : CEO, Cantt. Board clarified over the issue in detail.

Deliberate discussion took place over the issue, as under Shri BN Mojad- Elected Member stated that it was the public demand for years together.

The President, Cantt Board wanted to know what is difficulty faced by the current system.

Shri SS Thakre- Vice President stated that as he understood, the Vice President will be directly elected and he will be responsible to public, for any decision taken by the Board and that the said issue is now at proposal stage only.

Shri BN Mojad- Elected Member stated that the existing system is also good. The Vice President is representing the civil population whereas the President, Cantt Board looks after the interest of both civil and military population.

The President, Cantt. Board stated that Health and Finance not only impacts civil population but effects both military and civil population. Elected representatives have lots of political compulsions and due to public pressure; they may not be able to do justice to both military and civilian population.

Shri SS Thakre- Vice President stated that even if, Vice President is elected from public, President Cantonment Board remains Head of the Board.

Col Atul Bisht, Nominated Member stated that collective decision and collective debate will be compromised, if powers of Finance Committee, Health Committee, Environment Committee & Education Committee is awarded to the Vice President and various committees by devolution of powers. Views and Say of non-Committee member will be neither be taken at committee stage nor at Board stage. Moreover nominated members many time are unable to attend committee meetings due to official commitment, so if existing system is changed, their right / opinion will be compromised permanently.

President Cantt Board also supported this and stated that there will be no say of non committee member, either at committee level or Board level. PCB further stated that due to party politics development of wards from which committee has no representation may be adversely affected.

Shri SS Thakre- Vice President stated that Vice President, since politically elected, will be responsible to all the Wards and has to give equal treatment for all the Wards.

Col Atul Bisht- Nominated Member stated that forum for dispute resolution will go away. Present system of recommendatory nature of committees provides for dispute resolution for decision taken at committee level and acts as a check and balance mechanism.

CEO, Cantt Board stated that the President, Cantonment Board or the Board cannot reverse the decision of the Committee. He further added that this is devolution of power and decision of committee will be binding on the Board and come up before the Board only for noting purpose.

The Vice President & all Elected Members stated that they desire to work under the President, Cantt Board, as earlier and they have no complaint with PCB as the head of the Board.

Shri SS Thakre- Vice President, Cantt Board stated that he has due respect to the Chair and other Elected Members also. They are representing the public as they have been elected from public and that final authority should be with the President, Cantt Board. The Vice President has to function under the command of the President, Cantt. Board. At the same time, as a Vice President, he supports devolution of power to the Vice President and various committees as suggested by Sumit Bose Committee.

Shri BT Kataria and Smt Kaveri rattan Kasar also supported views of Shri S S Thakre and Shri B N Mojad.

The President, Cantt Board stated that many issues will not even come up for detailed discussion of the President, Cantt Board if power is permanently given to committees. Further he stated that many of the sections proposed for devolution fall under executive domain and may lead to increased partisan politics at ground level.

Col Atul Bisht- Nominated Member stated that as far as democratic power is concerned, it is already with the elected members. However, by devolution of power to committees; balance of power is being compromised.

CEO, Cantt Board stated that at least power should be permanently delegated to Education Committee as it is related to civilian population only. PCB and nominated members agreed to it, however all elected members stated that devolution should be for all committees or none.

President, Cantt Board stated that authority of Board as most neutral and high- ranking authority must not be diluted. He further added that opportunity to all elected members is available in existing system and there has been hardly any complaint or dissatisfaction.

All elected members and Vice President supported the proposal, as suggested by Shri Sumit Bose Committee.

All Nominated Members opposed.

Finally based on Majority decision Board resolved not to recommend devolution of power to Health and Environment committee, Finance Committee and Education Committee and further resolved that decision of Health and Environment committee, Finance Committee and Education Committee should remain to continue recommendatory in nature.

Brig Shakti Vardhan - Health Officer left the meeting at this stage with the permission of the Chair.

At this juncture, Shri SS Thakre- Vice President handed over to the President, Cantt Board letter dated 05.02.2021 duly signed by the Vice President & all Elected Members of the Board on the subject “Point discussed in the Board meeting are not part of proceeding dt. 13.01.2021 received on 03.02.2021” and wanted to have discussion over the same.

Vide letter mentioned ibid 03 issues were raised.

First issue was related to taking over of street lights by cantonment Board vide CBR No 16 dated 13.01.2021. Mr Thakre stated that in the Board meeting he had supported taking over of street lights, which is not reflected in the proceedings.

CEO stated that Proceedings clearly reflects the terms and condition at Sr.No. 03 in CBR No. 28 dt. 13.11.2009, wherein it has been mentioned that street lights will be taken over only after all plots are developed, hence no exception can be made for individual case.

Shri B N Mojad stated that terms and condition is not correct and it burdens residents since cantonment Board levies property tax just after completion of individual house but asking for completion of all houses in a lay out plan before taking over of basic facility like street light.

CEO stated that lay out plan was issued in 2009 and why no question was raised at that time. Taking a decision contrary to terms and condition mentioned in the sanctioned lay out plan will be tantamount to favouring individual applicant.

With respect to second issue raised in the letter, about issuance of completion certificate for STP & Underground Sewerage System, CEO brought the attention of all members to the proceeding and stated that issue raised is factually incorrect. In the CBR No. 17 dt. 13.01.2021, it is clearly written that completion certificate is being issued to STP. As far as some connectivity issue of pipelines at end points is concerned, CEO assured the Board that work order amounting to Rs 20 lakhs will be issued immediately and expenditure will be done from grant received under 15th Central finance Commission. All members expressed their satisfaction to this.

With respect to 3rd issue raised in the letter, Shri S S Thakre- Vice President stated that NOC issued to PWD for execution of work with respect to Rs 5 crore fund received from Govt of Maharashtra should be one time only. Since Cantonment Board has separate department for public works and all municipalities are allotted funds directly for execution of work, there is no logical basis for issuing NOC to PWD of Govt of Maharashtra for execution of work. Further quality of work executed by PWD , Govt of Maharashtra is not good and it is difficult to fix responsibility in case of poor quality work.

Shri B N Mojad stated that amount of Rs 5 crore was approved in 2018 itself during the time of then Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis and Hon’ble MP Shri Hemant Godse has worked very hard for this. Further lots of effort have been put in by the elected members of Deolali Cantonment for this allocation .
