  • Chufal submitted reply to ADM in case of purchase of sealing land of tea garden

    Chufal submitted reply to ADM in case of purchase of sealing land of tea garden

    Dehradun (IANS) | Former BJP president Bishan Singh Chufal on Saturday submitted his written reply to the ADM’s office after receiving a notice in connection with the purchase of sealed tea garden land on Ring Road. During this there was a lot of commotion in the presence of the media. Party leader Puneet Mittal and lawyers were also present. ADM was not present in the office. Therefore, the petitioner received the notice. The next date in this case has been fixed for July 11. Significantly, on June 13, the court of ADM Baranwal had issued notices to 12 people including Chufal.

    In his reply, former president and MLA Bishan Singh Chufal said that at that time the registry was done in his name as the party president. But, now the current State President Mahendra Bhatt should be written about in this regard. It is written in reply- I am not the state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party at present. At present, the state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party is Mahendra Bhatt. Not even an inch of land belonging to me and my family members is registered in any record at any place under Dehradun district. Therefore, in future, any information related to the above land should not be given to me and should be given in the name of present State President, Bharatiya Janata Party Mahendra Bhatt.

    In fact, in 2010, the BJP had bought the sealed land of the tea garden for its office. At that time Nishank was the Chief Minister of the state. Chufal was the party president and Dhan Singh Rawat was the general secretary of the organization. BJP leader Anil Goyal also played a role in the purchase of this disputed land. At that time, the party leaders also performed Bhoomi Pujan with great fanfare. The issue of this land, which was bought for crores of rupees, has now become critical. Notices have also been given to many other buyers including the BJP.

    Significantly, after receiving the notice in the disputed land purchase case, a meeting of the organization leaders was held in the presence of Chufal at the party office on Friday. In the meeting, it was said to send the notice to the lawyer. But, Chufal said that since the notice has come in his name. So, he himself will go to answer.

    The BJP seems to be badly trapped in the 2010 land purchase case. Questions are also being raised regarding the role of those who bought the land with ceiling in crores. Now, the district administration has declared the sale and purchase of land illegal.

Even if some people consider it a political issue and give a political twist, but from all the High Courts (especially the Delhi High Court) to the Supreme Court, they are in favor of implementing the Uniform Civil Code in the country. The Supreme Court has asked the present Central Government about the efforts made so far in this regard, in which the Central Government has said that opinion has been sought from the Law Commission of India.

    CBSE: CBSE strict on dummy admission in schools, now there will be three checks

    Dehradun (IANS) | The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has become strict over the increasing practice of dummy students enrollment in Uttarakhand. The board will also examine the number of enrollments done in the school for the 12th examination, how many registrations were done and how many students filled the examination forms. The board will analyze the enrollment data several times a year. Schools will have to update the number of students along with teachers on the online portal. After enrollment in 11th, there will be three checks from the board between filling the 12th examination form.

    CBSE has issued instructions in this regard to the managers of the schools. According to the officials of CBSE Dehradun Region, in the current academic session, it has come to notice that some coaching institutes on their website clearly confirm the names of schools in big cities like Dehradun, Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar, Nainital etc. to give educational tie-up and dummy admissions. This type of arrangement for personal interest is against the law. Schools have been clearly told that no pre-admission will be allowed in any way if the student strength is not in proportion to the lower class.

    If any school tries to add non-attending and dummy students of unrecognized institute or coaching institute especially for registration in class 11th, then the school itself will be responsible for this illegal act. Many cases have already been found According to the officials of CBSE Dehradun Region, for the session 2022-23 for senior secondary, some schools have unauthorizedly colluded with unrecognized institute or coaching to increase the number of registrations in class 11 to the board. Gave request letter. But this request did not make sense. It has been seen that many schools tie up with private coaching institutes and tell new things to encourage students towards coaching. Which is done from own interest and business point of view. Coaching institutes and various unrecognized institutes avoid their responsibility by giving dummy admission to the candidates in these schools.

    CBSE Dehradun Regional Officer Dr. Ranbir Singh said that it is against the rules to give dummy admission to any school. The board is continuously making school managers aware in this regard. If such cases come to light then the school itself will be responsible.

    In dummy admission, the student takes admission in the school but instead of coming to that school, he goes out and prepares from any tuition institute. His attendance is taken in the school. In lieu of this, parents also pay higher fees to the school than usual.
