The Hindu 23.02.2013 Adults can apply for their birth certificates Special Correspondent
Here’s another chance for persons above 15 years of age
and not having their names in the official records to get it registered
and take a birth certificate with the name. The
government has issued orders on Friday giving time till December 31,
2014 permitting entering the names in the municipal records provided the
birth is registered. The Principal Secretary of the
Medical and Health Department, Ajay Sawhney, in the orders issued has
stated that it would be a one time opportunity given by the government
following representations from the GHMC that several citizens were
seeking such an extension. As per the Births and Registration Act of
1969, births should be registered by 21 days (60 days for NRIs). This
will be the second such relaxation given by the government as the
previous one for two years was given from 2009-2011 when close to 30,000
birth certificates with names were issued in GHMC alone, officials add.

Nashik Municipal Corporation firm on Rs 2,505 cr plan

Nashik Municipal Corporation firm on Rs 2,505 cr plan NASHIK: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has expressed its inability to scale down its initial plans and estimates worth Rs 2,505 crore for the forthcoming Kumbhmela scheduled in 2015-16. Meanwhile, of the 25 government agencies involved in making arrangements for the mela, 11are yet to submit priority-wise plans.
The corporation will play a major role in creating the infrastructure
for the event and its plan of Rs 2,505 crore forms the largest chunk of
the total plans worth Rs 4,105 crore drawn up by the 27 agencies. Since
Rs 4,105 crore was considered to be on the higher side, the agencies
were asked to curtail their plans. The expenditure on the 2003-04 Kumbh
mela was less than Rs 300 crore. The agencies which have failed
to prepare revised, priority-wise plans include the NMC, the public
works department (PWD), the forests department and the rural police. "We
received a full plan from all the agencies, but the instructions by the
government to curtail the plans were not paid heed to. The agencies
maintained that the submitted plans were the best for the activities
planned," district collector Vilas Patil said. So, the administration
had demanded segregation of works into three categories - A, B and C -
with top priority works taken in category A. NMC commissioner
Sanjay Khandare said, "Finalising the plans involved the House and it
was done meticulously. Revision of the plan would again take several
months, hence, we have decided against it." When asked how the
civic body would react if the district administration prioritised the
works or prune the budget, Khandare said the collectorate was the best
judge in the respective issues and the cuts in the plan would be
welcomed, provided they were in line with the developmental issues
undertaken. On the other hand, senior officials from another
department, which has presented its priority-wise plan to the
collectorate, said had the collectorate sought prioritizing the works in
the beginning, it would have been easier. "Appointing a person for the
same job is affecting our normal work," the official added.
Various government agencies were asked in 2011 to present plans for the
Kumbh mela. The Rs 4,105-crore plan was finally filed by July 2012 but
the district guardian minister Chhagan Bhujbal had said that the budget was too large and needed to be curtailed.
With 11 departments failing to scale down their demand for funds, the
government, with the help of the district administration, is likely to
carry out the exercise itself.
