Mihan's flight delayed by 10 years

Shishir Arya, TNN | Jul 8, 2011, 01.05am IST

NAGPUR: MADC is expecting some action soon at the special economic zone (SEZ) in Mihan cargo hub, however, some see it as flogging a dead horse.

The Mihan project being developed by MADC is divided into two parts - a SEZ and a cargo hub. The 1,400 hectare hub was planned with the view that Nagpur is in the country's centre, so it can emerge as a nodal point for cargo movement, especially by air. The 2,086 hectare SEZ is also based on this theory.

Voluntary organization Vidarbha Economic Development Council (VED) had mooted the idea of making Nagpur an air cargo hub in mid-1990s. It envisaged international flights from all directions, presently overflying Nagpur, landing here. The planes would redistribute cargo and fly back, with the air cargo hub supported by rail and road facilities.

However, it took a decade-and-a-half for the project to take off, and now even those in VED admit that the theory of aircraft overflying Nagpur landing here may no longer hold ground. The concept of a multi-modal cargo hub needs a change, they accept.

Over the last few years, MADC's focus has been on the SEZ and not the cargo hub, from which the name multi-modal international hub airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) was derived.

Devendra Parekh, president VED, says a lot has changed from when the project was conceived in 1997. The original theory could have worked those days, when short distance flights were used. With long-haul flights today, there is no need to land at a middle point like Nagpur.

A team of VED members had then visited Singapore to study a similar set-up, on which Mihan was conceived. Flying to Nagpur would have required less fuel, so more cargo could have been carried on planes, and then flown further in a different aircraft. With long haul flights in place, this may not be needed now, since direct flights are no longer a hassle, said Parekh.

Today, Mihan can be projected as an estate with ample land for industries to set up a unit. With industries facing land acquisition problems, like in Noida and Singur, Mihan still has a chance to come up as a road and rail terminal hub, he added.

However, the work on the rail and road terminal has been stopped by the company which had bagged the contract. It has been over a year since Nagpur Sical Gupta Logistics Limited stopped building the rail and road terminal. It backed out saying there was no assurance of any cargo being generated in Mihan. The company feared it will build the terminal and there would be no cargo to handle, leading to a dead investment.

Padmesh Gupta, a director with the company, said efforts are underway with the help of associations like VED and VIA to revive the project. Meetings have been planned with chief minister Prithviraj Chavan as well as BJP president Nitin Gadkari.

Meanwhile, Deccan 360, which had formally inaugurated its air cargo hub at Nagpur with much pomp two years ago, is yet to start it in a full-fledged manner. Deccan's cargo planes were supposed to land in Nagpur. However, the company continues to transport its cargo through other airlines operating from the city.

After Mihan Airport Limited (MIL), a joint venture of MADC and AAI, was formed, it was planned to redevelop the airport at a cost of Rs 63 crore. MIL is yet to get the money from the government, said a source. Finances have been a major constraint since the airport already has huge accumulated losses, they added.

All hope now rests on the strategic third partner that may be roped in for the project. Last month, Ernst and Young was appointed as consultant for advising the company in scouting for a partner. The new partner is expected to bring in the much needed equity for the venture.

UPS Madan, vice-chairman-cum-managing director of MADC, said after ensuring investors in SEZ start functioning, the focus would now be on the cargo hub. A decision may also be taken on Nagpur Sical Gupta Logistics, which has stopped work.

On roping in the third partner, Madan said no decision has been taken so far. "MADC will first go through the consultant's report and then decide its strategy on the partner. There is no immediate plan to review the entire concept of the cargo hub on the grounds that air cargo may now be outdated," he said.

Vilas Kale, former president of VED who was involved in conceiving Mihan, says that despite the changes in the type of aircraft the idea need not be given up yet. "Not all airlines have shifted to long-haul aircraft. Moreover, VED has also suggested that 50 acres of the SEZ should be de-notified to attract industries which may generate cargo. They need not be export oriented units," he added.

In debt-ridden Vidarbha, a battle brews-INDIAN EXPRESS

In debt-ridden Vidarbha, a battle brews

Nagpur : A strong anti-liquor c

ampaign is brewing in rural Vidarbha, with women leading from the front. Sizeable women’s rallies at many places, a stubborn response by the liquor lobby, and the murder of a woman activist have combined to make this one heady campaign.

Putting their weight behind this agitation are Vidarbha’s farm activists who now agree that liquor is one of the main distress-causing factors in the region.

Paromita Goswami, a social activist running Shramik Elgar, an NGO at Mul in Vidarbha’s Chandrapur district, has been fighting a low-intensity battle against liquor in Chandrapur’s villages for the past 10 years. “We work among rural women who have to bear the brunt of their husbands’ liquor addiction. Liquor has ravaged the villages socially and financially. We have known instances of school kids being addicted too. We have managed to get liquor vends shut through

women’s power. But isolated efforts are not so effective and we have increasingly felt the

need to turn this into a mass movement by women,” she says.

Goswami has been joined by leading farm activist Kishore Tiwari, whose Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti has been fighting for farmers’ rights. “People tend to go to extremities in distress and liquor takes its toll in these circumstances,” he says.

Tiwari cites a report by Yavatmal Collector Sanjay Deshmukh who says liquor consumption in the district has grown exponentially in the last five years.

According to official statistics, consumption of liquor in Yavatmal district, the most suicide-prone district in Vidarbha, has increased from over 8 lakh litres in 2005-6 to about 15 lakh litres in 2010-11. Of this, the sale of country liquor has increased from 6 lakh litres to 10 lakh litres.

Incidentally, the last five years were when the government poured in crores of rupees into Vidarbha’s agrarian belt, gave fresh loans to farmers and waived off their debts.

Two years ago, even the mention of liquor being one of the reasons for farm distress would invite huge backlash. Health activist Abhay Bang had been criticised when he said all efforts at helping farmers would be in vain if the problem of liquor addiction wasn’t solved. Bang, who has fought many battles against liquor in Gadchiroli, is a member of a committee set up recently by the state government to suggest ways to tackle the issue.

“Chandrapur district consumed 1.56 crore litres in 2010, which is next only to Mumbai in population-consumption ratio. Who is paying the price for it? Women and children. Liquor is a very potent means of exploitation in villages with inebriated and debt-ridden farmers getting alienated from their lands. Often, farm hands are paid in liquor instead of wages,” says Goswami.

At Golewadi village in Bhandara district of the region, 40-year old Meenakshi Dahiwale was choked to death by Sumitra Madavi, an illicit-liquor brewer, about two months ago when she had gone along with a women’s delegation to raid the shop.

“All the surrounding villages have enforced prohibition. A lot of young boys, too, had got hooked on to liquor. So, we had decided to force a ban. Most of brewers in our village fell in line, but Sumitra and her husband Sanjay Vaidya won’t give up,” says Golewadi Bachat Gat president Manjira Dahiwale.

The liquor lobby is fighting back. The Chandrapur District Liquor Association took out a huge rally of over 12,000 people in the city, opposing the demand for prohibition in Chandrapur. “We included all liquor shop owners, their employees, families and others who run small eateries near liquor shops. What we are saying is, don’t single out Chandrapur, ban liquor in the entire state,” says Deepak Jaiswal, NCP city unit president and leader of the rally. Himself a liquor trader, Jaiswal argues, “Chandrapur is the most industrialised district in Vidarbha. Also, there is tiger tourism here. If people in Mumbai and Pune can have liquor, why not those in Chandrapur? And where would all these people whose lives are dependent on the business go?”

Tiwari says, “Politicians have a vested interest as many of them are in the alcohol business. So, they will always support it. But I agree that the ban should be not in isolated places. I feel we can start by banning it in the six most suicide-prone, farm-crisis districts of west Vidarbha.”

Bang suggests a multi-pronged approach. “We need to run different long-term programmes simultaneously. Along with reducing the availability and production of liquor, we also need to initiate serious efforts of preventive education against its ill-effects,” he says.

NCP leader Jaiswal points out that even if liquor is banned, tribals, who traditionally brew and consume liquor at home, will continue to do so. Goswami counters this and says, “It’s a wrong perception. Tribals used to have it only during special occasions. In the changed socio-economic situation, it has affected them too.”

Confederation of Indian Textile Industry is misleading farmers - VJAS

Wed, Jun 01, 2011 09:48:10 IST

“CITI STATEMENT is misleading and baseless when Indian regulatory authorities have confirmed that there is surplus stock of at least 50 lakhs bales and textile ministry has given it’s nod to the demand of agriculture and commerce ministry demand of additional permission of 15 lakhs bales in order to protect the financial interest of Indian cotton farmers who are committing suicides as prices of cotton have been slashed to 50 per cent in a month where as uncertainties and unjust quantitative restriction has always allowed the textile cartel to get cheaper cotton by 30 per cent. This is part of the textile lobby to get cotton export curtailed so that they can exploit the situation. It’s unfortunate that textile minister is playing on direction of this textile cartel that has ruined around one billion cotton farmers to the tune of Rs. 20,000 crore and losses are likely to be more if Indian government function with anti farmer policies,” Tiwari added. “CITI has managed the Indian Textile minister initially to restrict cotton bales export to 55 lakhs bales from earlier year 84 lakh bales even when country cotton production is higher by another 25 lakhs bales then ban export of cotton yarn and now surprisingly as per Quota Policy of Cotton items now added Cotton Waste (Comber Noil) H. S. Code No. 5202 as Cotton Waste is a ‘By-product’ of Cotton Yarn. When plenty of quota of Cotton Yarn lying unutilized the hostile functioning of Union Textile Minister Dayanithi Maran has a allaowed textile cartel to include the by-product banned,” said Tiwari. “CITI is keeping salient of the fact that cotton prices have increased from Rs 30000/candy in April 2010 to Rs 60000/candy April 2011. This is an increase of about Rs 70-75 per kg. And immediately spinners increased the price of yarn from rs 150/- per kg in April 2010 for 30s combed to Rs 230/- per kg in April 2011. increase of Rs 80 per kg which reflects in cotton value to Rs 30000/per candy minimum. Fabric weavers too have increased prices of grey fabric of 40 x 40 counts 124 x 64 with 200 gm per mtr which is quoted at about Rs 70/- per sqmtr as against Rs 38 in April 2010. There s an increase of Rs 32/mtr which is Rs 160/- per kg which in terms of candy is about Rs 58/60000 and present ban on export has brought back cotton prices to the level of April 2010 which is artificial an stage managed and Union Textile Minister Dayanithi Maran is directly involved in this scam,” Tiwari added. "CITI should admit that Cotton production has grown from a low of 225 lac bales to 330 lac bales in last 5 years the undue protection to Local textile mills benefiting of buying Indian cotton at prices which are at least lower by 30% as compared to its competitor in Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries who buy from other growths which is reason behind the present restriction of cotton export and when Indian cotton after lot of hard work and promotion by exporters have found a very stable and regular market of its cotton in foreign countries and Govt. should ensure that the markets created are not lost to competition due to faulty Govt. policies to protect handful textile mill owners .” It is alleged. "We need the urgent central intervention and demand to lift all export restriction of cotton bales and yarn too so that farmers get higher price to cotton," Tiwari urged.

VJAS demands white paper on irrigation schemes-TIMES OF INDIA

VJAS demands white paper on irrigation schemes

NAGPUR: Farmers rights organization Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti, while welcoming the state Congress' decision to hold a water convention (Paani Parishad) at the farm suicide epicentre of Yavatmal on Thursday, demanded that chief minister Prithviraj Chavan should come clean on the alleged misuse of funds in the PM's relief package.

"Chavan should come out with a white paper on the alleged corruption in implementation of the PM's special relief package that had allocated a major chunk for enhancing irrigation facilities in drylands of Vidarbha," said Kishore Tiwari of VJAS. "Crores of rupees meant for irrigation works were siphoned off. To add insult to injury, the ruling partner NCP now wants special allocation of water to private power plants which are coming up in large number in Vidarbha," said Tiwari.

"We will request the chief minister to refer the matter to the Centre for a CBI probe as serious charges of corruption in irrigation works were levelled by legislature's public accounts committee (PAC) as well as the CAG. It is alleged that advance payment under Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme was made by the VIDC (Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation).

"We are thankful to MPCC president Manikrao Thakre for organizing the convention as it will provide dais to the dying cotton farmers of Vidarbha to raise issues related to hostile functioning and failure of administration in increasing irrigation facilities in western Vidarbha since 2006 when the PM package was announced for six districts," said Tiwari.

VJAS has also supported the MPCC president's contention that there was no need for mushrooming of power plants in Vidarbha when already plants expected to generate 19,000MW are nearing completion. "The state should not allow robbery of water by some 60 private power plants that are eying cheap land and water in Vidarbha. Instead, the state should ensure optimum use of funds being allocated from the budget by the governor for removing irrigation backlog and benefiting farmers," said Tiwari.

MIHAN Nagpur LANDSCAM -BoA directs stern action against ‘First City’

BoA directs stern action against ‘First City’-HITAVADA

Staff Reporter

TAKING "a serious view on the sale of flats proposed by M/s Reatox Builders and Developers Pvt Limited to general public which is not permitted under the SEZ Scheme," the Board of Approval — highest decision making body for Special Economic Zones — has directed the Development Commissioner (MIHAN) to take stern action against First City project developer. The BoA decision is a tight slap on the face of those who violated the SEZ Act brazenly and misled the High Court, authorities and people at large by selling flats openly to general public.

The land allotted to M/s Reatox Builders (promoters of First City project) at a highly subsidised rate by Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) within MIHAN-SEZ and brazen act of the builder to sell flats to general public - apparently without any permission from BoA - has raised serious questions over its legality. The very action of MADC to allot agricultural land acquired for peanuts to a builder, to be sold to general public at market rates and earn mind-boggling profit, is nothing but massive loot of public property for the benefit of private few and apparently with the blessings of MADC top bosses, who now need to come clean on entire issue and punish the erring officials and private parties. Chief Minister of Maharashtra is ex-officio Chairman of MADC. After taking over as Chief Minister, Prithviraj Chavan had taken a serious cognisance of the irregularities highlighted by ‘The Hitavada’ and had removed R C Sinha, the high-profile big boss of MADC from his position.

The BoA took this decision during its 45th meeting held on March 25 at Udyog Bhavan, New Delhi. The meeting was chaired by Dr Rahul Khullar, Secretary, Department of Commerce, Government of India, and was attended by 38 top ranking officials of Finance, Commerce, Revenue, Industries and other connected departments. The final minutes of the meetings were uploaded on the website (www.sezindia,nic.in) on Monday revealing clearly that BoA had disapproved the action of MADC permitting sale of ‘First City’ flats to general public. Interestingly, ‘First City’ promoters always maintained that flats were meant for general public, clearly suppressing the fact they had a mandate to construct housing facilities only for employees working within SEZ.

According to the minutes, the Development Commissioner (MIHAN) Ved Prakash informed the Board "the developer of MIHAN SEZ (Maharashtra Airport Development Company) has permitted the co-developer (M/s Reatox builders) to construct and sell residential flats in the non-processing area of the SEZ to persons not connected with the SEZs."

"The Board took a serious view on the sale of flats proposed by M/s Reatox Builders and Developers Pvt. Limited to general public which is not permitted under the SEZ Scheme. Accordingly, the Board directed DC MIHAN to take strict action directly and through the agencies concerned in the matter and submit a report."

The BoA directive to Development Commissioner (MIHAN)- a senior officer of the Central Government, has also exposed the tall claims of MADC bosses, notably R C Sinha, then Vice-Chairman and Managing Director who had authorised ‘First City’ developer to "lease the flats in "First City’ (An Integrated Modern Township in MIHAN Nagpur) to General Public/persons outside SEZ area/anywhere around the world i.e. for leasing the flat, area/state/country is not restricted."

Apparently, this letter giving blanket permission was issued without consulting BoA and according to record, the MADC issued this letter contradicting its own stance stated on affidavit and application made to BoA about ‘First City’ project.

This communication issued by R C Sinha, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Maharashtra Airports Development Company (MADC) on August 23, 2010 was widely used by the promoters of ‘First City’ project to sell their flats to general public, cleverly suppressing the policy decision taken by Board of Approvals and Housing guidelines issued by Ministry of Commerce. The letter itself was issued by Sinha following a request made by Atul Shirodkar, Chairman and Managing Director of M/s Reatox Builders and Developers Private Limited on July 31, 2010 and August 23, 2010.

Going a step further, Sinha had informed Reatox Builders, "The flats are freely transferable by existing parties to third parties and likewise without any fees from Reatox Builder&Developers Pvt. Ltd (RBDPL) and/or MADC and NOC is not required from Reatox Builders& Developers Pvt Ltd (RBDPL) and/or MADC."

The latest missive from BoA has established clearly that the MADC overlooked the mandate of the Ministry of Commerce, SEZ Act, and rules framed thereunder putting severe restrictions on free transfer of residential units to outsiders.

Apparently, the collusion between MADC and promoters of ‘First City’ is crystal clear as top bosses of the Special Purpose Vehicle appeared to bend rules and looked elsewhere while relaxing norms and for allowing illegal action of builder in selling flats to general public and walking extra mile whenever the ‘First City’ project faced any crisis.

In fact, the Board of Approvals (BoA), the apex decision-making body for SEZ, had maintained consistently that no developer or co-developer can sell the land or residential dwelling and extended this principle to ‘First City’ coming up at MIHAN-SEZ promoted by MADC। Therefore, the BoA in its meeting held on July 13, 2010 had directed the MADC to remove the "condition of sale" from the agreement between developer (MADC) and co-developer (M/s Reatox Builders) as well as from the Power of Attorney granted by MADC to M/s Reatox Builders.

Maharashtra budget ignores debt-ridden farmers in Vidarbha-PTI

Maharashtra budget ignores debt-ridden farmers in Vidarbha: NGO
Published: Friday, Mar 25, 2011, 14:35 IST
Place: NAGPUR | Agency: PTI

1-12 budget presented by Maharashtra finance minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday has ignored about 3 million debt-trapped cotton farmers as state owned debt touched Rs2,31,000crore during the 2010-11 fiscal, an NGO has alleged.
As three million cotton farmers have lost cotton crop this year, it was expected that the state would address the on going agrarian crisis and will give a bailout package as the earlier relief packages were disappointing," the Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti (VJAS), which works for the welfare of farmers, said in a release issued in Nagpur.
"However, the state has failed to give much awaited food security and health security to dying cotton farmers and over 10,000 farm widows and family members of famers who committed suicide since 2005. This is much more disturbing," VJAS president Kishore Tiwari said.

"We welcome the decision to give zero per cent crop loan up to Rs50,000 and two percent interest up to Rs3lakh but this facility can be availed by the farmers who are regular with banks.
"Hence, in order to extend this facility to debt trapped farmers facing crop failure since 2009-10 in Vidarbha, the VJAS has been demanding a bailout package for those who are not covered by state-owned banks and are forced to take loans from local money-lenders and private MFIs," he said.

The VJAS also flayed the announcement of creating irrigation facility in another two lakh hector land of the state saying that there was already a backlog of irrigation projects in Vidarbha, for which over Rs60,000crore were required.

II.THIS YEAR MORE THAN 10 MILLION JOB LOST IN MAHARSHTRA.

III.DROP IN FOOD PRODUCTION BY 36%

IV.SEVERE HEALTH, EMPLOYNENT AND GROUND WATER CRISIS IN RURAL MAHARASHTRA.

V. NO MEGA PROJECT OR SEZ HAS STARTED.

VI. MARGINAL INCREASE IN POWER WHRE AS AROUND 1000MW POWERPLANTS CLOSE DOWN.

VII. 3MILLION BPL FAMILIES DELETED FROM FOOD SECURITY AND HEALTH AND SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEME

VIII.-STATE FAILED TO CRATE ROAD AND HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AS PLANED.

When in August 2009 it’s first economic survey before submitting the budget Maharashtra Govt. has admitted that state is not economic growth map when it was told that last year Maharashtra lost 2 million jobs in the year 2008-2009,food grain production dropped by 25% before drought has been declared ,outstanding debt mounting to Rs.1,58,520 crore, interest payment on debt is Rs. 12,953 crore,30% drop in employment provided under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), poverty ratio in the State is 30.7 per cent as against All-India average of 27.5 percent and more than 6000 farm suicides and lacs of tribal’s death due to malnutrition and starvation but same time rosy picture was shown regarding massive job creation and investments in infrastructure ,increase in food crop production ,reduction in the debt and restoration basic facilities to poor like food ,shelter, health ,education and rural employment ,industrial growth but nothing has happened and economical crisis further deepen and in the golden jubilee year of it’s formation Maharashtra is set to face worst economic crisis and fiscal collapse due to poor governance and massive corruption in ministry , Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti(VJAS) president kishor added.

VJAS has drawn the attention towards the wet drought situation in more than 50,000 villages that has effected sharply drop in kharif and raby crop and first food production has like to be drop below 94 lakh MT first time in history of Maharashtra . last year it was told that Total 14,957 industrial projects with an investment of Rs. 5,04,689 crore and employment potential of about 27.54 lakh have been registered with the GoI to set up units in the State till the end of December, 2010 but gloomy fact is that out of these, not single mega project as operational till today as same is not reflected in the economic growth and employment job dat of the state is retarding very fast. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the last five years for investments in registered and commissioned projects is more than 17 and 3 per cent respectively but in ground reality nothing has happened that cause of worry .

‘As ex -Maharashtra chief Minster Ashok Chavan was half year busy in land allotments and land lease ,New Chief Minister Purthiviraj Chavan is busy since taking oath to under stand problems of state and likely to another 3-4 years to under stand same that created more chaos in the debt ridden state ,the communication gap in his co-partners and executive and uncontrolled corruption has put state on ‘economic collapse.in order to keep ‘MR.CLEAN ’ image intact CM is not even clearing files that has retarded the decision making process and created fishy situation in Mantralaya’ Kishore Tiwari said

Kishore Tiwari of VJAS has asked today to central Govt. to review economic crisis in Maharashtra due to uncontrolled plan and unplanned expenses of state Govt. and on going fiscal deficit of state Govt. executive control is missing and corruption in administration is at it’s peak hence fiscal monitoring and central review is needed.
