Maneka claimed the Centre has allowed killing of 'nilgai' in Bihar, elephants in West Bengal, monkeys in Himachal Pradesh, peacocks in Goa and wild boars in Chandrapur.
Two Union Ministers--Maneka Gandhi Prakash Javadekar locked horns over culling of animals with the former saying there was "lust" for killing in the Environment Ministry. Javadekar, who is the Minister for Environment and Forests, on his part defended animal culling, insisting it is done on the request of states to protect crops.
The war of words was quickly seized upon by the opposition parties which alleged there was no teamwork or cohesion in the Modi government. The outburst by Maneka, who holds the Women and Child Development portfolio and is an animal rights activist, came in the wake of the recent killing of 'nilgai' (blue bulls) in Bihar, which she termed as "biggest ever massacre".
Maneka said the Union Environment Ministry "is writing to every state government, allowing them to provide a list of animals that can be killed so that the Centre can give permission. "This is happening for the first time. I don't understand this lust for killing of animals." However, Javadekar insisted that it was "scientific management" of animal population and the permissions for killing animals designated as 'vermin' were restricted to particular areas and time period.
Maneka claimed the Centre has allowed killing of 'nilgai' in Bihar, elephants in West Bengal, monkeys in Himachal Pradesh, peacocks in Goa and wild boars in Chandrapur even when the wildlife departments of states are saying they do not wish to kill animals.
On the 'nilgai' killing in Bihar, she said it has happened when neither the village head nor the farmers have called for their killing. Responding to the charge, Javadekar said it is being done as per existing law and is not a central government programme. "As per existing law when farmers face a lot of problems and their crops are completely damaged and when state government sends a proposal, only then we allow (culling) and grant approval to the state government's proposal for a particular area and time period for scientific management.
"It is not a programme of the central government. The law is such," he said. Maneka said 53 wild boars have been killed in drought-hit Chandrapur in Maharashtra and the Environment Ministry has allowed killing of 50 more, even when the state wildlife department does not want that.
"The Ministries do not have cohesion among them. This is not the first time such a thing is happening. All ministries are clashing and that is why work is stalled. There is lack of teamwork," JD(U) spokesman Ajay Alok said.
NCP spokesperson Rahul Narvekar said, "There is no synchronisation between various ministries of the government, thanks to one single person dictating terms. This is another example of bad governance."
Bihar's ruling JD(U) said the state government has every right to ask for permission from the Central government if animals are not in control. "The Central government has on June 2015 given permission that upto November 2016 one can kill Nilgai. According to the "Ban Jeewan sarakshan niyam" section XI-V, a professional shooter can be used," JD (U) MLC Neeraj Kumar said
Animal Rights Activist Gauri Maulekhi said the culling of animals is a political decision taken without any logic and scientific reason. "Instead of finding the reason why animals are coming to human habitat, if we fire at them indiscrimanately like General Dyer, it will not be acceptable," he said.
PETA Activist Nikunj Sharma regretted that the Ministry of Environment and forest, which has been formed to protect animals, is passing orders approving killing of Nilgais and monkeys. Meanwhile, according to a notification, the Environment Ministry has declared Rhesus Macaque monkey in Himachal Pradesh as "vermin" for a period of one year.
The notification paves the way for state government to take steps for large-scale culling of monkeys. Vermin means wild animals which are believed to be harmful to crops, farm animals, game or which carry diseases.
The notification said that the state has reported damage to life and property including large scale destruction of agriculture by this species in areas outside forest. It said that the government has "considered it necessary" to mitigate the damage to human life, crops and properties for ensuring conservation of wildlife in forest.
"In exercise of the powers conferred by section 62 of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (53 of 1972), the Central Government, hereby declares Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)... to be vermin for inclusion in Schedule V of the said Act, for a period of one year from the date of publication of this notification," the Ministry's notification said. The districts in Himachal Pradesh where the monkeys will be included in Schedule V are Chamba, Kangra, Una, Bilaspur, Shimla, Sirmour, Kullu, Hamirpur, Sonlan and Mandi.

10 JUN 2016 VIDHWAMAI KI MADAD

रात 11 बजे एक विधवा महिला के घर पहुंची कलेक्टर किंजल सिंह तो महिला का जीवन ही बदल गया।

रात 11 बजे एक विधवा महिला के घर पहुंची कलेक्टर  किंजल सिंह तो महिला का जीवन ही बदल गया।
केशव भूमि नेटवर्क :=वैसे तो हमने कई अधिकारियो के कारनामे देखे और सुने है, लेकिन उत्तर प्रदेश के फैजाबाद की डीएम किंजल सिंह अाधी रात को एक विधवा महिला के घर पहुंची तो महिला का जीवन ही बदल गया।
दरअसल यह वाकया सोमवार संध्याकाल करीब 7 से 8 के मध्य का है।जब सराय पोख्ता मस्जिद की व्यवस्था देखने के लिए अचानक चौक सब्जी मण्डी में पंहुची  किंजल सिंह को जर्जर हालत की वृद्ध  विधवा महिला मूना पर नजर पड़ी जो सब्जी बेंच रही थी। उसे देख कर  किंजल सिंह के मन में करुणा जागी और  मूना के पास किंजल सिंह ने  करैले का भाव पूंछा और  एक किलो करैला लिया जिसकी कीमत 50 रूपये थी परन्तु उसके एवज में मूना को उहोंने 1550 रूपये दिया और घर का अता-पता हाल-चाल पूंछकर चली गयीं।
बात यहीं खत्म नहीं हुई, करेले खरीदने के बाद डीएम रात में मूना के घर पहुंची जहां उनकी माली हालत देख उन्हें दुख हुआ। डीएम ने तुरंत अधिकारियों को आदेश दिया कि मूना के घर 5 किलो दाल, 50 किलो गेंहूं 40 किलो चावल उपलब्ध कराओ जब तक यह  राशन आ नहीं जाता मैं यहीं रहूंगी। किंजल सिंह का फरमान सुन डीएफओ के फाक्ते उड़ गये कोटेदारों की दूकाने रात में बन्द हो चुकी थीं डीएसओ के एक शुभचिन्तक ने सलाह दिया कि कंधारी बाजार का कोटेदार राकेश गुप्ता की बहुत बड़ी राशन की दूकान है उसी से सारे सामान मंगवा लें। डीएसओ साहब गाड़ी पर सवार होकर कोटेदार राकेश की दूकान पर पँहुचे  इतना सामान राकेश देने में जब असमर्थता जताने लगे तो पड़ोस के कोटदार आनन्द गुप्ता को भी तलब कर लिया गया। दोनो कोटेदारों ने डीएम की मंशा के अनुरूप राशन डीएसओ की गाड़ी में भरवाया और डीएमओ उसे लेजाकर मूना के हवाले कर दिया तब तक रात्रि के 12 बज चुके थे और डीएम साहिबा मौके पर थीं।
डीएम किंजल सिंह की उदारता यहीं नहीं थमी  उन्होंने एसडीएम दीपा अग्रवाल को निर्देशित दिया की  सुबह होते ही मूना को एक टेबल फैन, उज्जवला योजना के तहत एलपीजी सिलेंडर  चूल्हा के साथ , तख्त, दो साड़ी और चप्पल उपलब्ध करा दिया जाय। एडीएम व एसडीएम ने मिलकर यह मांग मंगलवार की सुबह ही पूरा कर दिया। जाते -जाते 75 वर्षीय मूना से वादा कर गयीं कि खाना पकाने का वर्तन, पानी पीने के लिए एक हैण्डपम्प और रहने के लिए आवास का निर्माण सरकारी खर्चे से कराया जायेगा। डीएम की इस उदारता से जहां विधवा  मूना व नातिन रीतू फूली नहीं समा रही हैं वहीं शहर के नुक्कड़ चौराहों के टी स्टालों पर डीएम की उदारता की चर्चाएं आम हो गयी हैं। लोग यहां तक कह रहे हैं कि काश डीएम साहिबा मेरे घर आ जातीं तो कम से कम उज्जवला के तहत हमें भी एलपीजी सिलेंडर व चूल्हा ही मिल जाता।
