These projects are in different stages of plan ni ng/sanction/execution. Railways have reviewed status of pending land acquisition vis-i-vis amount deposited for land acquisition and lying idle with State Government. It is informed that Railways had deposited 1430.79 crore for acquisition of 1400 hectare land in 10 projects (Annexure-I), but land is yet to be handed over by State Government of Andhra Pradesh. This is resulting into delay in execution of projecb, besides blockage of Railway's capital with State Government, which otherwise could have been utilized for execution of projects in the State. Further, Railways have taken up 07 projecB (05 New Line and 02 Doubling) on cost sharing basis with Government of Andhra Pradesh (Annexure-Il). All cost sharing pQects in Andhra Pradesh are iuffering due to non deposition of cost share amount of 12956.47 crore by Government of Andhra Pradesh. State Government has to confirm to share 50o/o cost of Bhadrachalam-Kovur new line project (Andhra Pradesh poftion) as Government of Andhra Pradesh is reluctant to deposit their cost share in cost sharing p0ecB.

Each aspect of the School was designed to prepare leaders who would build and serve a great nation. Boys from every background, caste, race, creed, and religion proudly sang the national anthem before it was adopted by a free India; boys and teachers were taught to value service before self; and secularism, discipline, and equality characterised the School’s playgrounds, houses, and classrooms long before these values reached other schools or the nation.

  • Kashmir: Abolition of Article 370
    Kashmir: Abolition of Article 370 E Digest Compilation of Relevant articles and YouTube videos Compilation by Ram Puniyani (For Private Circulation) Center for Study of Society and Secularism 602 & 603, New Silver Star, Behind BEST Bus Depot, Santacruz (E), Mumbai: - 400 055. E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com 1 | P a g e Preface Kashmir has been in the news from last couple of months and the Government has abolished article 370 and Article 35A. At the same time the state has been split into two union territories. All these actions of the government have been followed up by a massive propaganda that the Kashmir problem has been the doing of Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, had Sardar Patel been dealing with the issue, the problem would not have been there. False claims are being made that Babasaheb Ambedkar was against Article 370. A video film has been released by BJP to propagate these falsehoods at broad level. This compilation is an attempt to put forward the documented History, the events which led to accession of Kashmir with India and the rise of militancy there off, why the Constituent Assembly drafted Article 370 as the part of Indian Constitution. The basic similarities in the approach of Nehru and Patel on the issue of Kashmir are brought out. Also how Babasaheb opined on division of Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani part is also outlined. We also have given the video links of some of the YouTube videos on the topic. Your feedback to this compilation is welcome.
