Kanjhawala girl death case:

Woman dies after being dragged under car in Delhi's

Women, Child, and senior citizen safety is country as well as world first priority 

देश के सभी सैनिक स्कूलों में अब बेटियां भी पढ़ेंगी। आज भारत की बेटियां अपना स्पेस लेने के लिए आतुर हैं। सड़क से लेकर वर्कप्लेस तक, हर जगह पर महिलाओं में सुरक्षा और सम्मान का अहसास हो, इसके लिए हम सबको जिम्मेदारी निभानी होगी।


Out of  Box Solution


what does any general person can say about victim punishment - only hope from the government something very strong for women safety..

#NirbhayaCase #aarushi case #childsafety # Childrape #supremcourt #SC #pmoindia #RSS

Imagine if "punishment in Arab countries for theft & rape" is implemented in India.

I heard no one dare for theft in Arab countries due to strong punishment. what do you think anyone can dare for theft and rape ....

Concept-1
I also like the concept of punishment shown in Holiday movie  Akhshay Kumar cutting finger every time of victim . really heads off the wonderful concept .... same kind of punishment should be happen with victim of rape and murder cases. giving life time jail or hang till death is really very small punishment for these victim.

Concept-2
Ganga Jal Movie - cruel punishment to the victim - they are filling ganga jal in eyes of victim - no one can dare to rape, theft... or no crime


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XayyHfgQGE
Concept 3
Victim say punishment for one murder also hang till death and same for 10 murders also  ---- dialogue of one movie in which Nana Patekar  say  1 murder your one hand will cut another murder  another hand also cut and then both lag also cut and through you to cross road , you do not have hand  for eating and not for cleaning.

Reference Taken: Mindblowing initiative and activity have done at the Local circle in “Transform India with Modi”

Women and Child Safety- Special Comment by General Public

  1. Mass media should not promote women as object of desire – Ashu Jain
  2. Promote seminars in schools for love and care to living beings. Make them to think what other will feel of their rude behaviour and what you feel when others behave to you on the same situation – Varun Raj
  3. Fast track courts should be set up and rape, molestation cases should be solved quickly so that the victims don’t undergo the trauma for years. Justice should be immediate, not prolonged. The courts should be able to distinguish between a genuine case and a fake case filed for revenge. The verdict should be delivered within 1-3 months – Vijaylakshmi Narayanan
  4. Provide physical zones of comfort & ease of travel within the Transport system for women and very young children - special compartments, toilets, security, emergency buttons, etc. – Kayar Raghavan 
  5. Ban pornography web sites and display of women as article media. Social values should be emphasized in the school, colleges and as well as in organised and unorganized sectors – Sonali Potankar 
  6. Human trafficking is a key issue in this regard. – Srinivasan Shishadri 
  7. FIRs to made online ...& site to under strict checks & balances by special team for proper functioning 24 hrs – B. K. Gupta
  8. We required one or two police station only for women in each district where women can freely talk to police about her problem. Most of the time women feels shy to explain about their problem to the male staff. If the whole police station is only for the women then they feel safe as well they listen to women problem. This police station is operational 24* 7. Only rape centre proposed in each district not the solution but we required special women police cell who tackle each and every kind of situation. Now a days eve teasing cases are increasing day by day so we need a special force who handle such kind of cases. Also we required strict law for the women safety and we required such cases should be highlighted in public which will give example to others – Robin Tiwari 
  9. Link the appraisals of the police station personnel’s to the crime rates / incidents in their area of control – Chittaranjan Ghosh 
  10. Provide a platform at colony /RWA level for residents in the colony to be able to report (option to report anonymously may be considered if it is felt to have due merit) cases of eve teasing – Ashish Saxena
  11. Provide incentives to the police stations (Divided equally to the staff equally) who record the maximum numbers of FIRs related to women/child abuse, rape, molestations, eve teasing. This way at least maximum number of records will exist. then solutions to each FIRs is the next step – Chakresh Jain
  12. It is agreed women in the society are being marginalized and atrocities are being played on them. Strong rules and regulations are needed. But a safety valve is needed in these rules and regulations so that misuse is prevented – Rajinder Arya
  13. There shouldn't be any compromise on women safety and child abuse Senior citizen Old edge people. There should be time frame for implementation and execution. Major concern is fake family Violence cases, large segments of the population still facing lots of difficulties, troubles and pains in the old age parents and other family members which include women on the other side as well. Some serous punishment should also be fixed against those register fake cases – Ram Sharma 
  14. Awareness regarding legal protection for women and children ensured by the government in these issues may be given effectively through Television which is the most spreading medium. Political parties should not safe guard the offenders –Easwaran TC
  15. First and the foremost, the police should be educated to behave properly with women in distress. I have witnessed some cases where the police are too rude with women when they approach them for justice at their level and the women in distress are driven out and sometimes they are branded badly instead of the culprit, because they don't want to take any complaints and probe into the crime, but wash their hands off. It is easier to drive away a lady than a man unless the media exposes their actions. If the police take strict action against the offenders then the rate of crime against women and girl children will come down drastically. But that is not the case in many instances, bribe plays a key role in many criminal activities and once offender bribes the police he is let free and he becomes like a man eater which tastes the flesh of the humans and starts attacking more and more humans for food, as he also now knows that by bribing the police he can go scot free and he can continue with more and more such serious offences without getting into legal tangles – Veidehi Chillakumari 
  16. The biggest cause of girls not being wanted in society is the prevailing dowry system in arranging marriages. Things have gone completely out of hand in the villages especially since the girls family has to bear the cost of the marriage as well as the dowry provided. Therefore girls are looked upon as a financial liability which causes tension and distress in most families that have girls to marry off – Adhiraj Dutt

भारत में जलमार्गों का विकास

Port, Coastal & Inland Waterways Sector


परिचय

21वीं सदी में किसी भी राष्ट्र की आर्थिक प्रतिस्पर्धा केवल सड़कों और रेल नेटवर्क से निर्धारित नहीं होती, बल्कि उसके बंदरगाह (Ports), अंतर्देशीय जलमार्ग (Inland Waterways), तटीय शिपिंग (Coastal Shipping) तथा मल्टी-मॉडल लॉजिस्टिक्स की क्षमता से भी तय होती है।

भारत के पास लगभग

  • 7,500 किमी समुद्री तट
  • 20,000 किमी से अधिक संभावित नौगम्य जलमार्ग
  • 111 राष्ट्रीय जलमार्ग (National Waterways)
  • 13 प्रमुख बंदरगाह
  • 200+ गैर-प्रमुख एवं निजी बंदरगाह

उपलब्ध हैं।

इसके बावजूद भारत के कुल माल परिवहन में जलमार्गों की हिस्सेदारी अभी भी विकसित देशों की तुलना में काफी कम है।

यदि भारत 2047 तक जलमार्ग आधारित लॉजिस्टिक्स विकसित करता है तो

  • लॉजिस्टिक्स लागत घटेगी
  • निर्यात प्रतिस्पर्धा बढ़ेगी
  • कार्बन उत्सर्जन कम होगा
  • पर्यटन बढ़ेगा
  • GDP में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि होगी।

Development of Waterways in India: Growth Sector India 2026 – Public Transportation and Sustainable Mobility


1. Introduction

  • Importance of Waterways for Transportation
    Waterways have been a cornerstone of trade and transportation globally, particularly in nations with expansive river systems. In India, water bodies have historically supported trade, agriculture, and urbanization. With increasing pressure on road and rail networks, waterways are emerging as a sustainable and efficient alternative.

  • Overview of Public Transport and Sustainable Mobility
    The concept of sustainable mobility emphasizes eco-friendly, efficient, and accessible transportation systems. Inland waterways align with these principles, offering cost-effective and environment-friendly movement of goods and passengers. They reduce traffic congestion, fuel costs, and carbon emissions, contributing to India's sustainable development goals.

  • Why Waterways Matter for India's Economic Growth
    India's vast network of rivers, lakes, and canals holds immense potential. Leveraging this resource can boost economic growth by:

    • Reducing logistics costs for businesses.
    • Enhancing regional connectivity.
    • Supporting tourism and employment.
    • Decreasing environmental degradation from vehicular emissions.
      By 2026, waterways are poised to become a key growth sector, aligning with India’s vision of sustainable public transport systems.

2. Current State of Waterways in India

  • Inland Waterways Network (National Waterways)
    India has 111 declared National Waterways (NWs), spanning rivers, canals, lakes, and backwaters. The prominent waterways include:

    • National Waterway-1 (Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly)
    • National Waterway-2 (Brahmaputra River)
    • National Waterway-3 (West Coast Canal, Kerala)
      These waterways offer vast potential for cargo and passenger transport.
  • Existing Infrastructure

    • Ports, cargo terminals, and jetty stations play a critical role in facilitating movement.
    • Major ports like Varanasi, Sahibganj, and Haldia are being modernized.
    • Limited passenger ferry systems operate on rivers like Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Kerala’s backwaters.
  • Key Challenges

    • Lack of awareness about waterways as a viable transport mode.
    • Inadequate infrastructure for large-scale operations.
    • Limited dredging and navigational facilities.
    • Low investment and reliance on conventional logistics.

3. Government Initiatives and Policy Measures

Please clearly demarcate and also barricade cycling lanes so that bikes and cars do not enter it they always enter there and create more risk. Place more police officers to ensure traffic rules are obeyed and 100 rupee does not allow minors to ride or leave repeat offenders

@DC_Gurugram The cycling lanes must have bollards/barricades in both sides not just one side , it will discourage both enrochment and other vehicles from entering the lane, the cycling lanes must be coloured in more visible colours (eg neon) to make it more distinctive

Hoping that we will get world class cycling lane with physical barrier from the main carriageway Enough examples available from across the world! https://t.co/Dn1KlwXwAL

Response: RT Wing MVL Section:

Dear Sh Bhatia We thank you for your valuable thinking and suggestions and highlighting them to us. Your suggestions have been noted. We have already moved amendments in MV ACT and hope would redress the issues raised.
Thank you
Jai Hind

Key issue and observation in current process


    • Harassment of Vehicle owner /loan taker
    • Even after clear the loan Hypothecated is extra and unnecessary step 
    • scope of corruption at RTO as well as bank. 
    • Responsibility of bank also need to define 
    • Online process will bring lots of transparency 
    • Prevalent wrong doings, remove loophole 
    • Plug the hole so that the misuse can be put to an end 
    • Scope of corruption- an applicant will have to visit the transport offices to get a hard copy of the document once all the necessary requirements such as filing of application and payment of fees are done.

    Reference:

    One crore vehicles are registered in the national capital and around seven lakh others are registered every year. All over India wide this figure will be quite bigger.

    Suggestion/ Solution

    Suggestion inputs for Centralized software – UIDAI / Aadhar/Income tax dept./ Ministry of finance/ Department of revenue/RTO

    Aadhar enabled Digital RTO services must contain-        No physical document required due to Aadhar E-KYC validation-        Online form filling so no scope of spelling mistake.-        2 Emergency contact mobile number must be mandatory mentioning on driving license so that in case of any accident or emergency people can call the number mention in driving license-        2 Emergency contact mobile number must be mandatory mentioning car/ Bike / any vehicle for emergency safety of driver.-        Online application and Aadhar base e verification or E-KYC need not to come to RTO office-        Online driving license application, online exam and Aadhar base address and id verification e validation-        Online Address updating, transfer of vehicle RTO, renewal of license and registration-        online Payment of road tax and-        online payment /fees/ fitness fees, through UPI /BHIM/ Paytm/ mobilewiki/ net banking , bill desk…….-        online allotment of fancy registration numbers,-        online change of address in the registration certificate (RC) of a vehicle-        online deletion in vehicle registration.-        Driving license should be issue nation wise not like UP / MP…..-        no human interface at the department's offices.
    -        People do not have to visit the regional transport offices (RTO), need of a move intended to "eradicate corruption"

    Recommendation

    • There should be automatic removal of Hypothecated  from car  RC after  Expiry of loan duration
    • Penalty clause for bank as well as authority also need to define. if within month they are not informing and clear the process of removal of bank or financial institution name after clear the loan 
    • Banks are not returning the duplicate key even after clear the loan.then penality need to impose by Government body 

    RTO services must contain barcode, QR code, electronic Chip


    Aadhar linking to stop duplicate of base data. Transparency in traffic police challan Aadhar enabled challan system bring maximum data of vehicle owner and no more fake challan or public harassment  in the name of fake cause. 






    Benefit to Public & Government of India

    Current Process and scope of Corruption Information




    It is important to transfer ownership of the car from the bank’s name to your name. This process is called removal of hypothecation.

    Now what is important is to ensure that you receive two documents from the bank when you close down your car loan :

    1. a No Dues or No Objection certificate from the bank which essentially means that the bank has no objection to removing the hypothecation.

    2. 2 copies of Form 35 which will mention the termination of the hypothecation agreement between you and the bank.

    You need to collect the following documents and then go to the RTO.

    1. Original Bank NOC

    2. Original RC

    3. Original Form 35 (2 copies duly signed by the bank and registered owner)

    4. Copy of valid insurance – attested

    5. Copy of valid PUC (Pollution Under Control) certificate – attested

    6. Copy of PAN Card – attested

    7. Copy of Address Proof – attested

    8. And if you current address is different form the one in RC, you also need Form 33

    One thing which people do not notice in car loan is the different rules in states. If you have change your address then in Delhi you need to inform RTO within 15 days otherwise you pay a penalty of Rs 100 p.m. from the date of change of address to the date you apply for removing hypothecation. This i got to know from my relative car which is registered in Delhi but they changed address in between. Now they have to Pay Rs 3000 for this process due to the rule above.


    Fees Note 2: Where the certificate of registration issued is in the form of any Smart Card Type, an additional fee of Rupees Two Hundred shall be charged except in the case of issue of fresh certificate of registration after cancellation of hire purchase or lease or hypothecation agreement.




    It is best to get the hypothecation removed when it is time to do so.

    Not getting it done means the insurance money will not go to you but to the bank because of the hypothecation not being removed, in case of any accident. Once the registration is clear and in your name, without an HP, the insurance HP reference will have to be removed as well. Both these things are relatively painless.

    (a duplicate key is always under the custody of the Financier/Bank - remember to collect the same when getting the NOC).

    38-6. GST SCAM-Indian Railway Sarkar Ki Mansha and transparency Indian Railway Service delivery commitment ; Penalty Clause Missing



    Ref: https://www.deccanherald.com/india/indian-railways-new-penalty-rules-are-here-what-every-passenger-must-know-4046439


    Time bonded delivery commitment required


    हम अच्छी सेवाओं की पेशकश के लिए रेलवे को सेवा कर का भुगतान करते हैं. ट्रेन देर से चल रहे हैं तो क्यों पेनल्टी क्लॉज लापता है. रेलवे टिकट राशि का 10 गुना 3 घंटे तो देर से अधिक ट्रेन के लिए आईआरसीटीसी द्वारा भुगतान किया जाना चाहिए.




    We do pay service tax to railway for offering good services. if train are running late then why does Penalty clause missing . 10 time of railway ticket amount should be paid by IRCTC or Rail ministry or railway board for train late more than 3 hour.
