Uttarakhand gov’t snatches forest conservation funds, outsources policing and royalty collection from riverbed miners to private players https://www.reporters-collective.in/trc/uttarakhand-violates-sc-orders-on-river-mining
Ignoring the conflict of interest, the BJP government has encouraged tax-collecting private companies to also mine the rivers in the ecologically-fragile Himalayan state. All done in the name of preventing disasters. The state has gone a step further, establishing by regulation, what many experts believe is a classic case of conflict of interest. Any private company that wins the rights to collect taxes from riverbed mining will also be given priority over others to mine the rivers. In other words, a mining company could now be collecting taxes from other miners and also be in charge of preventing illegal extraction of boulders, sand and gravel from the state’s rivers. 

the Uttarakhand government has continuously violated the Supreme Court order which requires the state to plough the money from riverbed mining in forests into conservation – a face saver device to compensate for the damage caused to forests by ecologically harmful activities like river mining. T

job, the union government has introduced many illogical and draconian legislations. Hiremath further
highlighted the issue of impossibility of filing complaints against any defaulting police officer, due to the
rather sinister and confusing sections the BNSS has. Hiremath concluded ends by saying that these laws are
extremely dangerous, and will make the whole of the country and its citizens a target.

Vrinda Grover: the provisions of seizure, attachment of property, and
forfeiture that have now been included in these laws, which highly expand the powers of the state to target
individuals arbitrarily. Light was also shed by Vrinda Grover of the expansion of the period of police custody
through the BNSS, which could lead to increase in cases of intimidation, torture and coercion of the ones
arrested. Connecting to the same provision, she also spoke on how the said law will have a negative impact
on the right of bail that can be exercised by the one arrested. 

Teesta Setalwad: several provisions that provide draconian powers to the police, endanger the statutory right
to bail, criminalise free speech (in a newly introduced provision that she described as “sedition plus” and also
penalise, if not criminalise legitimate democratic protest. Safeguards against police abuse that had been
introduced through amendments earlier have been deliberately left out said Setalvad.

s a new crime as the ‘Terrorist act’ under general
penal law. When there exists, for dealing with terrorist activities special laws like UAPA (Unlawful
Activities Prevention Act, 1967), why are the same provisions and features being brought into the new penal
provisions of the new laws with extraordinary discretion given over these to the police?

He ( Mr. George Fernandes) was great admirer & follower of Mr. Ram Manohar Lohia .Helped very poor labourers throughout his life . Very dynamic , bold trade union leader throughout nationwide . All top political leaders exploited him . He was very good coordinator . Brought 22 parties under one roof ,NDA. He was key in making Mr. Atal as PM. Sad part is no politician came close for his help during his old age whether Atal Bihari or L.K.advani . Died without much publicity compared to his dedications towards poor and also contribution in forming NDA government. Extremely simple man . Lived life helping large group of poor labourers. Main architect of Konkan railway. He is unsung hero. All forgot him though he dedicated his entire life for poor for more than 60 years . No monument on his name .

 US Supreme Court allows cities to ban homeless camps   https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj774nxrpy7o By Samantha Granville, The US Supreme Court has ruled in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines that cities can ban homeless people from sleeping rough.
It is the court's most significant decision on homelessness since at least the 1980s, when many experts say the modern US homeless crisis began. The ruling says that local governments can enforce laws against people sleeping in public places without being in violation of the US constitution's limits on cruel and unusual punishment.

Comment on WA: I suppose the saving grace is the part which says " without being in violation of the US constitution's limits ".. Note the words "without being" rather than "provided that".. I suppose we can expect such an enabling legislation to to be brought in in India.  And given the new laws which have come into force from today, the dark clouds abound! As it is, Olga Tellis has been diluted by work arounds by the administration, the police and the bulldozer backed up by hate propaganda.  

Homelessness is on the rise in the US, fuelled in part by chronic shortages of affordable housing. Around 653,000 people did not have homes in 2023, the largest number since tracking began in 2007, according to US government figures.
There were also an estimated 256,000 people living without shelter on a given night across the country last year, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
