Seeds firm gets relief - deccanherald.com

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:30:00 GMT

The Maharashtra Hybrid Seeds Company (MAHYCO), which was banned last August from carrying out any kind of trade distribution in state, last month received an interim relief order from the authorities for providing seeds in the Kharif season.

MAHYCO responding to an article "Farmer hangs himself in APMC office compound" in Monday's edition has clarified that the ban has been lifted as it has received an interim relief from the state government.

The report had quoted well-known Vidarbha social activist Kishore Tiwari of the Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti stating that authorities carried out raids on two warehouses in Yavatmal district and seized "genetically modified RRF seeds which have not received clearance from the authorities to be sold in the market."

Committee to discuss Food Bill - deccanherald.com

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:30:00 GMT

A Congress core committee meeting will on Wednesday discuss whether to promulgate an ordinance or to convene a special session on the Food Security Bill. The meeting will be attended by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Food Minister K V Thomas had discussions with opposition parties to evolve a consensus on the matter.

The meeting will also discuss the outcome of talks held with the opposition parties.
Sonia Gandhi and party Vice-President Rahul Gandhi favour discussions in Parliament on the bill that seeks to give legal rights over subsidised foodgrains to 67 per cent of countrys population.

A view in the Congress is that there is no need to handle the Food Security Bill issue like the Indo-US nuclear deal and government should reach out to the opposition to get its support.

CM for steps to check money power in panchayat polls - deccanherald.com

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:30:00 GMT

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on Tuesday, called for steps to curb use of money power in panchayat elections. Addressing a convention of experts organised by the State government to discuss reforms in panchayat raj, Siddaramaiah rued the advent of money power even in gram panchayat elections. "Measures need to be taken to curb the use of money power at the grassroots, else, the very purpose of decentralisation of power is lost," he observed. While the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Constitution had given primacy to panchayats, people's participation in its implementation was below expectations. While the Constitutional amendments had brought in a three-tier panchayat raj system, he personally favoured the model mooted by Nazir Sab that comprised Mandal Panchayat and Zilla Parishat. Other reforms that could be ushered in are: to hold direct elections for the post of presidents of zilla and gram panchayats, he felt. Dharmadhikari Veerendra Heggade mooted the idea of single window agency at ...
