Delhi: Girl commits suicide after being allegedly harassed by neighbour

<p>The AAP government today presented a Rs 53,000-crore budget that focused on the environment, health and education sectors.</p>

<p>The government claimed it is India&#39;s first &quot;Green&quot; budget as it announced &quot;health insurance for all&quot; and a slew of measures to tackle air pollution.</p>

<p>The dispensation said that it followed &quot;Trickle Up&quot; economics to benefit the poor, even as the opposition termed it &quot;jugglery of statistics&quot;.</p>

<p>Deputy Chief Minister Mansh Sisodia presented the budget for 2018-19 in the assembly.</p>

<p>He asserted that Delhi&#39;s economy continuous to be on the path of sustainable growth despite the &quot;negative&quot; impact of demonetisation and disruption caused due to the implementation of GST.</p>

<p>In the next financial year, the government said it expects to get Rs 23,400 crore from the Goods and Service Tax (GST) which is 60 per cent more than Rs 14,600 crore mopped up in the current fiscal, even as it lambasted the Centre for introducing the new tax regime.</p>

<p>It said the fiscal deficit dropped to about one-third of the original estimate for the current financial year after it carried forward Rs 1,969 crore of the budgetary shortfall to 2018-19.</p>

<p>For the first time, the government said, it has defined definite timelines for various projects for their timely implementation.</p>

<p>Sisodia announced that the government would install CCTV cameras at schools, impart self-defence training to girl students, and allocate Rs 100 crore for free Wi-Fi, which was a major pre-poll promise of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).</p>

<p>Also, it would install 1.2 lakh CCTV cameras in the city by June next year.</p>

<p>Terming it a &quot;splendid&quot; budget, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said the government will take development to every home in the national capital.</p>

<p>The budget aims at benefiting all sections of society, including the middle class, the poor, women and students, he added</p>

<p>Kejriwal, however, did not fail to take a dig at Lt Governor Anil Baijal, saying, &quot;There is a proverb, &#39;Man proposes God disposes&#39;, but here &#39;Delhi government proposes, L-G disposes&#39;.&quot;</p>

<p>Sisodia said that if there is one word that most accurately captures the AAP government&#39;s economic vision and the policies that have emanated from it in the last the years -- it is &quot;Trickle Up&quot; economics that is aimed at benefiting the poor and middle classes.</p>

<p>The AAP government believed in the &quot;Trickle Up&quot; model of economics rather than &quot;Trickle Down&quot; model, he said.</p>

<p>The government announced a slew of measures to reduce air pollution, including incentives to switch over to clean fuels. Sisodia also assured to carry out a comprehensive city-wide inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and provide a dedicated information system to show current levels of pollution by installing 1,000 indoor display panels at government buildings.</p>

<p>Noting that the &quot;green budget&quot; was being presented with 26 schemes or projects, Sisodia, who is also the Delhi finance minister, promised to start a pilot agriculture-cum-solar farm scheme.</p>

<p>Launching of a &quot;health insurance for all&quot; scheme, doubling hospital beds to 20,000 and expanding mohalla clinics were also the highlights for the health sector in the Delhi Budget.</p>

<p>The outlay for the health sector of over Rs 6,700 crore, about 13 per cent of the total budget of Rs 53,000 crore for the financial year 2018-19, is 17 per cent more compared to the last fiscal.</p>

<p>The government would impart self-defence training to girls, install CCTV cameras at all government schools, and set up 13 language academies and 25 world class skill development centres in the national capital.</p>

<p>The AAP government continued its trend of allocating the biggest share of the budget to the education sector, earmarking Rs 13,9997 crore, which is 26 per cent of the total budget, for it.</p>

<p>In the budget for 2017-2018, 23.5 per cent of the total budget amount was given to the education sector.</p>

<p>About 1.2 lakh CCTV cameras will be installed at all government schools, for which an outlay of Rs 175 crore has been proposed in the budget estimates 2018-19. Self-defence classes for girl students will be started, Sisodia said in his budget speech.</p>

<p>The Delhi BJP termed the AAP government&#39;s budget &quot;jugglery of statistics&quot; and said it announced schemes without constitutional approval.</p>

<p>Reacting to it, Union minister Harsh Vardhan tweeted: &quot;#DelhiBudget - Delhi Budget is non-serious; falls short of target in setting up classroom libraries; development of every house is too ambitious to implement. Blaming Lt Governor is nothing but seeking excuses for non-performance.&quot;</p>

<p>The Delhi Congress also attacked the AAP government for failing to utilize the funds allocated for schemes last year and termed the budget &quot;hollow&quot; and &quot;manipulated statistics&quot; that fall short of fulfilling the aspirations of the people.</p>

<p>Industry bodies, however, lauded the Delhi government&#39;s budget, saying the focus on the environment will lay a strong foundation in making the national capital more habitable.</p>

Arvind Kejriwal writes to Nitin Gadkari regretting 'unverified allegations'

<p>Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday called out PM Modi saying that it was a two-minute job for him to solve the sealing crisis in Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He reiterated that if there was no solution for the sealing issue till 31 March, he would sit on a hunger strike in support of city traders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;I wrote to PM Modi seeking time on sealing issue but he never responded, it is a two-minute job for him to solve this crises&quot;, Kejriwal said in assembly on the first day of the budget session. &ldquo;If sealing is not stopped by March 31st, we will sit on strike with the traders,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Kejriwal, last week, &nbsp;wrote to the prime minister and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, seeking time for a meeting to resolve the sealing issue.</p>

<p>In the letter, Kejriwal mentioned that &quot;the reasons behind the sealing are anomalies in the law and it is the Centre&#39;s responsibility to remove the anomalies.&quot;</p>

<p>He stressed over the depleting condition of traders in the state, adding that they are on the verge of starvation and unemployment will impact law and order. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;A Bill has to be brought in Parliament to remove anomalies in the law and save traders from unemployment,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, addressing traders in Delhi&rsquo;s Gandhi Nagar, Kejriwal attacked the centre, saying that when it can support an ordinance on Jallikattu, why cannot it bring the ordinance on sealing to give a relief to traders from the drive.</p>

<p>&ldquo;You (Centre) bring an ordinance on small-small things. When you (Centre) can bring an ordinance on Jallikattu, but why cannot you bring the ordinance to give relief to traders of Delhi from the sealing drive? &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t have any objection with it (Jallikattu)...I request the Centre to do whatever it can do to stop the sealing,&rdquo; the chief minister said.</p>

<p>About 2,490 properties were sealed in the national capital by the four local bodies since December for violation of Delhi&#39;s Master Plan 2021, the parliament was informed on Thursday.</p>

<p>Kejriwal said that in next two-three days, the government will submit a survey report on 351 roads, submitted by municipal corporations, to the Supreme Court and once the city administration gets nod, it would issue a notification to ensure that there is no sealing on these roads in future.</p>

He reiterated that if there was no solution for the sealing issue till 31 March, he would sit on a hunger strike in support of city traders. “I wrote to PM Modi seeking time on sealing issue but he never responded, it is a two-minute job for him to solve this crises", Kejriwal said in assembly on the first day of the budget session. “If sealing is not stopped by March 31st, we will sit on strike with the traders,” he added. Kejriwal, last week, wrote to the prime minister and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, seeking time for a meeting to resolve the sealing issue. In the letter, Kejriwal mentioned that "the reasons behind the sealing are anomalies in the law and it is the Centre's responsibility to remove the anomalies." He stressed over the depleting condition of traders in the state, adding that they are on the verge of starvation and unemployment will impact law and order. "A Bill has to be brought in Parliament to remove anomalies in the law and save traders from unemployment," he said. Meanwhile, addressing traders in Delhi’s Gandhi Nagar, Kejriwal attacked the centre, saying that when it can support an ordinance on Jallikattu, why cannot it bring the ordinance on sealing to give a relief to traders from the drive. “You (Centre) bring an ordinance on small-small things. When you (Centre) can bring an ordinance on Jallikattu, but why cannot you bring the ordinance to give relief to traders of Delhi from the sealing drive? “We don’t have any objection with it (Jallikattu)...I request the Centre to do whatever it can do to stop the sealing,” the chief minister said. About 2,490 properties were sealed in the national capital by the four local bodies since December for violation of Delhi's Master Plan 2021, the parliament was informed on Thursday. Kejriwal said that in next two-three days, the government will submit a survey report on 351 roads, submitted by municipal corporations, to the Supreme Court and once the city administration gets nod, it would issue a notification to ensure that there is no sealing on these roads in future.

<p>Three Indian cities - New Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai - are among the cheapest cities in the world, according to an Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey, that named Singapore as the most expensive city.</p>

<p>As per the Worldwide Cost of Living 2018 survey, South Asian cities, particularly those in India and Pakistan offers the best value for money. Bangalore, Chennai, Karachi and New Delhi featured among the 10 cheapest locations surveyed.</p>

<p>&quot;India is tipped for rapid economic expansion, but in per-head terms, wage and spending growth will remain low. Income inequality means that low wages are the norm, limiting household spending and creating many tiers of pricing as well as strong competition from a range of retail sources,&quot; the report noted.</p>

<p>Moreover, a cheap and plentiful supply of goods into cities from rural producers with short supply chains as well as government subsidies on some products has kept prices down, especially by Western standards, the report noted.</p>

<p>Syria&#39;s capital, Damascus is the cheapest city in the world. Joining Damascus at the bottom is Venezuela&#39;s capital, Caracas and Kazakhstan&#39;s business centre, Almaty, in the second and third position respectively.</p>

<p>Others in the 10 cheapest cities list include Lagos at the 4th place, Bangalore (5th), Karachi (6th), Algiers (7th), Chennai (8th), Bucharest (9th) and New Delhi (10th).</p>

<p>&quot;Although the Indian subcontinent remains structurally cheap, instability is becoming an increasingly prominent factor in lowering the relative cost of living of a location. This means that there is a considerable element of risk in some of the world&#39;s cheapest cities,&quot; it added.</p>

<p>Singapore retained its title as the world&#39;s most expensive city for the fifth consecutive year. Singapore was ranked ahead of Paris placed second on the list, Zurich (3rd) and Hong Kong (4th).</p>

<p>As per the report, Oslo is the 5th most expensive city in the world, followed by Geneva (6th), Seoul (7th), Copenhagen (8th), Tel Aviv (9th) and Sydney (10th).</p>

<p>Connaught Place (CP) in the national capital has emerged as the third most expensive office market in the Asia Pacific region with a rental of $88.8 per square metre (sqm) per month, according to a report.</p>

<p>Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in the megapolis emerged as the fifth most costly business district among the list of 20 international cities, with a rental of $80.1 sqm per month, an improvement of two places over Q4 2016, the report titled &#39;Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index Q4 2017&#39; by property consultant Knight Frank said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The prime office pocket in Hong Kong topped the list with a rental of $212 per sqm.</p>

<p>In terms of rental appreciation, Bengaluru&#39;s central business district (CBD) recorded the third highest growth with a year-on-year increase of 5.40 per cent in the December quarter last year.</p>

<p>Connaught Place stood at the fifth spot, with a rental growth of 5 per cent, while BKC was ranked 10th with a 4 per cent growth.</p>

<p>The report expects rentals to grow in BKC and Bengaluru&#39;s CBD for the subsequent 12-month period, but hints at the growth to plateau in Connaught Place.</p>

<p>According to Samantak Das, chief economist and national director - research, Knight Frank India, the rental growth continues to be strong across prime office markets in India on account of an ongoing supply crunch in the country.</p>

<p>&quot;This, coupled with strong occupier demand is expected to drive the rentals up in the next 12 months in the prime office markets of Mumbai and Bengaluru. However, we expect rental growth to remain stable in CP,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>Overall the index recorded 1.1 per cent year-on-year growth in the last quarter of 2017, propelled by solid economic performances across the Asia Pacific region, which was primarily driven by rising rents in 12 out of the 20 markets tracked over the quarter.</p>

<p>The report further said that rentals across at least 16 markets are either set to appreciate or stay stable.</p>

<p>Das believes demand in co-working and technology-related spaces are expected a play a major part in pushing rents up.</p>

<p>Stressing the need to &quot;rise above politics&quot;, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today called for an all-party meeting at his residence on Tuesday to find solutions to problems being faced by traders because of an ongoing sealing drive in the national capital.</p>

<p>Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken thanked Kejriwal for the move, while the BJP said it would decide on its participation after consulting state unit chief Manoj Tiwari, who is currently abroad.</p>

<p>&quot;We should rise above politics and come together to find a solution to the problems that have risen due to sealing,&quot; the chief minister said in letters sent today to Tiwari and Maken.</p>

<p>Maken, who had written a letter to Kejriwal on Saturday, offering to share with the chief minister what he felt could be a solution to the drive, thanked him for accepting his request.</p>

<p>Praising Kejriwal for inviting the BJP, which rules the three Delhi municipal corporations carrying out the drive, the Congress leader expressed the hope the saffron party would participate in the meet.</p>

<p>The situation demands &quot;positive politics&quot;, he said.</p>

<p>The Delhi BJP said Tiwari was abroad as part of a delegation accompanying President Ram Nath Kovind and would be back by March 15.</p>

<p>An office-bearer of the party said a decision on Kejriwal&#39;s invitation would be taken after a consultation with Tiwari.</p>

<p>Kejriwal also suggested that not more than three people from each party be present at the meeting for its smooth functioning.</p>

<p>A case was registered in the matter and some AAP MLAs were booked.</p>

<p>The Delhi chief minister had yesterday written letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi seeking appointments with them to discuss the sealing issue and stressed the need to bring a Bill in Parliament to stop the drive.</p>

On Saturday, Chauhan was arrested and his motorcycle and helmet were recovered. It was found that the girl's father had the same motorcycle and helmet and had been behaving oddly. After the last rites, Kumar was questioned at length and he confessed to the crime. He told police that he had caught his daughter with the boy several times. On March 7, he said he followed her and found her with the same boy again. He allegedly took her to Loni and slit her throat using a kitchen knife which he had carried with him. He dumped the body and the knife in a ditch and went back home. As per reports, the police are investigating whether other family members were involved. They have detained the girl's cousins who had accompanied Kumar to the spot where they had spotted her body.

<p>The Delhi High Court today questioned the law and order situation in the capital while hearing the bail plea of one of the two AAP MLAs, arrested for allegedly assaulting Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.</p>

<p>The court said it was concerned that if &quot;a person&quot; can be assaulted in the presence of the Delhi chief minister and the deputy chief minister, what will happen at other places.</p>

<p>&quot;At a place where the chief minister is sitting, a person is assaulted. What is the law and order situation. This is happening in front of the chief minister. I am not going on the personality of the person who was assaulted. You need to answer this,&quot; Justice Mukta Gupta said.</p>

<p>The court&#39;s remark came while hearing the bail plea of Deoli MLA Prakash Jarwal, who was arrested on February 20 in connection with the chief secretary&#39;s assault case.</p>

<p>The judge said, &quot;I am concerned that if a person is assaulted in the presence of the chief minister and deputy chief minister, what will happen at other places? How should I be satisfied that no such incident would take place in future?&quot;</p>

<p>The court, which has called for a file relating to Jarwal&#39;s previous criminal case, would resume the hearing on his bail plea after some time.</p>

<p>The court is also scheduled to hear the bail application of another AAP&#39;s Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan, who was also arrested in the case on February 21.</p>

<p>During the hearing, senior advocates Rebecca John and Dayan Krishnan, appearing for Jarwal, sought bail for him saying that he was ready to abide by any condition and will give it on an affidavit that if he violates any condition, his bail shall be cancelled.</p>

<p>The counsel further claimed that only heated arguments took place between the MLAs and the chief secretary (CS) and no assault took place.</p>

<p>The police, in its status report filed through advocate Sanjay Lau, said that as per the medical report of the senior bureaucrat, his injuries were of simple nature but two of the provisions invoked on Jarwal were non-bailable.</p>

<p>While opposing the bail plea, he termed the incident as &quot;very unfortunate&quot; and said the police has collected the video recording from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal&#39;s residence, where the incident took place.</p>

<p>He told the court that Jarwal&#39;s name was not mentioned in the FIR because the CS was initially not aware of the name of those who assaulted him.</p>

<p>Senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, appearing for the CS, filed an intervention application and opposed Jarwal&#39;s bail plea saying the bureaucrat was called in the room consciously because no camera were there and he was made to sit between two persons.</p>

<p>The high court had on March 1 issued notice to Delhi Police on Jarwal&#39;s bail plea and sought a status report in the matter. Amanatullah Khan had yesterday moved his bail plea before the high court.</p>

<p>Jarwal and Khan are undergoing 14-day judicial custody, which expires tomorrow, in connection with the alleged assault on the bureaucrat during a meeting at Arvind Kejriwal&#39;s residence on the night of February 19.</p>

<p>A magisterial court had earlier denied bail to both of them, saying the matter cannot be treated in &quot;a casual and routine manner&quot; while dubbing them as &quot;history-sheeters&quot;.</p>

<p>Jarwal had then moved a sessions court and was again denied the relief with the court saying the situation could not be more alarming when lawmakers do not respect the rule of law.</p>

The train, which originally runs between Delhi’s Hazrat Nizamuddin and Agra Cantt stations, will now be operated to Gwalior in the first phase. The train will now cover 306 kilometres in 3 hours 15 minutes. The service is likely to be extended to Jhansi in its second phase, passengers will reach Jhansi from Delhi in just four and a half hours. Gatimaan's new route will come into effect from February 19.

<p>Three major stations in the Delhi metro --&nbsp;Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate and Vishwavidyala -- suffered from technical glitches for around 30 minutes on Friday morning.</p>

<p>The problem was reported on the busy route of Yellow line connecting Samaypur Badli and Huda City Centre at around 11:30 in the morning&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though the services were not disrupted, the speed of the technical defect affected the speed of the metros.</p>

<p>An official said that the trains were stopped for longer hours than usual.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;Due to a signaling issue at the interlocking stations of Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate and Vishwavidyala stations of Line 2 (Yellow Line), trains were manually given routes from 11:30 am to 12:04 pm. This caused a little bunching of trains on Line 2 during this period,&quot; a senior Metro official said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The defect has been rectified and the services are returning back to normal.</p>
