"On transfer of Rakesh Maria from the post of Mumbai Police Commissioner during the Sheena bora murder investigation, Fadnavis who also holds the home portfolio, said "it is the job of the investigation officer to investigate.Speaking at his official residence 'Varsha' in south Mumbai late last night after another day of war of words with Sena, Fadnavis appeared unfazed and said, "We will complete our term..Shiv Sena threatened to pull out of NDA if BJP ‘continues with its arrogance’ Mumbai: Amid bitterness in ties with ally Shiv Sena, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has fired a fresh salvo questioning the opposition to his decision to provide security to Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali when Sena Chief's family had hosted cricketer Javed Miandad from that country.Fadnavis who had disapproved of Sena's protests against Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali, said, "I told (Sena) that there can't be different contours to denote who is patriotic.

 

After it was cited by NCP to attack him, Bal Thackeray had said in 2010 that the meeting was to request that Pakistan players be allowed to play in India which he "rejected"."Did Ghulam Ali ever give a statement against India He was scheduled to pay tributes to Jagjit Singh.""It would have been fine if he would not have gone there (Khar police station where Indrani Mukerjea and other accused were being grilled) so many times," Fadnavis said."

 

There's bound to be some bickering."On demand by Opposition to ban right wing outfit Sanatan Sanstha after its activist was arrested in connection with Govind Pansare murder, Fadnavis said, "We will certainly ban it if credible and required evidence is found against the organisation.""We are two separate parties and there's a difference between their thinking and working style.

To a query on intense verbal duel between leaders of both the parties during campaign for Kalyan Dombivli and Kolhapur civic elections scheduled tomorrow, Fadnavis said "these are local elections and won't have any bearing on state politics. If by providing him security we become Pakistanis, then does that mean that those who hosted Javed Miandad at their home, also become Pakistanis," Fadnavis said."I am confident Sena will continue to be a part of the BJP-led government despite their recent postures OIL RING Manufacturers and we will also contest the Mumbai municipal corporation election together. The CP's job is to supervise.

So many citizens attended a public hearing

Among the objections, the issue of the legality of the public hearing was raised.Mumbai: In a first of its kind demonstration to save the green lungs of the city — Aarey Milk Colony, thousands of citizens gathered for the public hearing against the car shed for Metro Line 3 at the site. “We can no more access our farmlands, our livelihood is destroyed. Bhattacharya.The BMC stated that they would seek a reply from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation on the objections of the citizens. This is happening first time in Mumbai, where so many citizens attended a public hearing against tree-cutting,” said Amrita Bhattacharya, member of Aarey Conservation Group.

Citizens and activists also pleaded the Garden Department of BMC to cancel the public hearing stating that the department was not prepared to conduct hearing for a large number of people in an only one-day meeting. At the adjacent site too, 160 trees were cut despite the permission for 137 trees. The authority does not lie with BMC to sanction tree-cutting,” said Zoru Bhathena, an activist. “Aarey is indeed a forest with more than 4 lakh trees. MMRC recently destroyed the house of Ashabai Bhoe at Prajapur along with fruit-bearing trees and now they say that there are no adivasis there,” said Ravindra Dodiye, a tribal from Aarey. More than 37,000 objections were submitted. “We will not go to SRA,” chanted the tribals together.. People from all walks of life including tribals from Aarey raised their concerns over the removing of 2,702 trees claiming that it can turn out to be detrimental for Mumbai to lose its last remaining green space. “There are several cases in court against metro car shed in Aarey, yet the tree-cutting permissions are being processed. We are being forcefully evicted from our land.

Only 10 people out of thousands could voice their objections in such a short time. “There was no list of names, no copy of citizens’ letters with them.Tribals from 27 hamlets of Aarey claimed that metro car shed in Aarey is an infringement on tribal rights. Not only the forest department but also a no-objection certificate under Wildlife act is needed. There are seven leopards documented in Aarey along with thriving biodiversity of birds and insects. Why is their urgency? If the metro loses the case, the trees won’t grow back,” said Ms.Citizens also pointed out the state government’s China tilting pad journal bearing expert committee’s recommendation of alternative sites, including land at Kanjurmarg that was earlier rejected by the MMRC citing non-feasibility but later was decided for Metro Line 6
