Jaipur: BJP State Pres-
ident Satish Poonia, on
Thursday, lashed out at
the entire Congress
and said that Sonia
Gandhi’s son-in-law
Robert Vadra, who is
no less than a mafia,
grabbed the land of the
farmers of Rajasthan.
It is unfortunate that
the Chief Minister and
the Congress govern-
ment have tried to cov-
er it up, he said.
Poonia has said that
the Congress party got
a chance to rule the
country for a very long
time. “The public recog-
nized the Congress par-
ty’s rule of 55 years in
2014 and that was the
reason why on issues of
policy, anarchy,
casteism, communal-
ism, the people of India
rejected the Congress.
When asked why for-
mer CM Vasundhara
Raje has not addressed
the Jan Aakrosh Yatra,
he said that she has her
own busy schedule and
family responsibilities
and because of these
she has not been able to
attend meetings. “But
the party is fully united.
We are not like Con-
gress. In our party
, there
is no need to resign, or
to make a statement or
badabandi,” he said.

tor undertaking, can
handle up to 72 constit-
uencies from a single

After focusing on

the theft of Rs 26 lakh
from an ATM at Bhi-
wandi in Maharashtra’s
Thane district. Un-
identified persons had
broken into an ATM of
HDFC Bank at Purna in
Bhiwandi on December
10 and decamped with
Rs 26,04,500, said a
senior inspector. The
police found the sticker
of the gas cutter used
to break the ATM which
led to the cracking of
the case, he said.

Speaker Om Birla interacts with people at Lok Sabha camp office in Kota on Thursday.
The ministry of forest and
environment also gave ap-
proval for constructing a high-
level bridge over Chambal
river in Etawah area of Kota.
Due to forest area falling in the
catchment area of the bridge,
the construction work was not
able to start. During the meet-
ing of the National Wildlife
Board in Delhi, chaired by
Union Minister Dr Bhupendra
Yadav, the approval was given
for the construction of the
bridge. The border districts of

IAS cadre review: Govt
demands 16% increase
New Year tour: PoW reaches
Jaipur with foreign tourists
First India Bureau
Jaipur (PTI): Night
temperatures increased
by 2 to 5 degrees in most
parts of Rajasthan
where Karauli was re-
corded as the coldest
place with 5.1 degree
Celsius, according to
the Meteorological De-
partment here.
Night temperature at
other places was re-
corded between 6 de-
gree Celsius (Sikar)
and 15 degree Celsius
(Jaisalmer).
The weather on
Thursday was cloudy
in Ganganagar, Hanu-
mangarh, Churu, Bi-
kaner and surround-
ing districts due to the
effect of a western dis-
turbance.
These areas are likely
to receive light rain on
Thursday and the
weather will remain
dry for the next five
days at most of the re-
maining places.
From December 31
onwards, there is a pos-
sibility of drop in tem-
perature and dense fog
in North-West Ra-
jasthan, according to a
forecast.
Dr Rituraj Sharma
Jaipur: Demand to in-
crease the number of
IAS officers by 16 per
cent has been raised in
Rajasthan.
Cadre review was to
be held in 2021 but due
to a lack of consensus,
the matter was post-
poned till 2023.
According to the ad-
visory of PMO on 1st
July 2013, only a 5 per
cent increase can be
done in any State in
the cadre review but
Rajasthan’s complaint
is that after 2013, a 28
per cent increase has
been done in many
States and with this in-
crease, the number of
IAS officers in Ra-
jasthan could have in-
creased to 372.
The state currently
has 313 sanctioned
posts of IAS officers
which would increase
to 365 if Rajasthan’s
demand for a 16 per
cent cadre review is ac-
cepted.
The number of IAS
officers in the state
will be 329 if a 5 per
cent increase is al-
lowed.

fter Maiden Pharma-
ceutical company
was accused by Gam-
bia for the deaths of
70 children due to the
consumption of its contaminat-
ed syrups which caused kidney
failure, Uzbekistan has raised
the red flag against another In-

Biotech whose syrup Doc-1 Max
had allegedly caused the death
of 18 kids. Like Maiden’s cough
syrup Marion’s Doc-1 Max was
also found to be contaminated
with ethylene glycol which is an
illegal, toxic adulterant used by
drug manufacturers to cut down
the cost of their product.
Any action against the two
companies can be initiated only
after the completion of a proper
investigation despite the toxic
adulterant used in cough syr-
ups. It is surprising that the
Drug Controller of India does
not have strict and effective reg-
ulations to keep check liberal
use of ethylene glycol. While the
government awaits clinical de-
tails from Gambia, in Uzbeki-
stan the syrup was administered
without a doctor’s prescription
and the dose also was more than
the prescribed limit.

INDIA - ASEAN RELATIONS
CURRENT PERSPECTIVES
ssociation of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN), an
international organisation
was established by the gov-
ernments of five countries
Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand in 1967 to acceler-
ate economic growth, social
progress, and cultural devel-
opment and to promote peace
and security in Southeast
Asia. Subsequently Brunei,
Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar
and Vietnam joined to make
it a Ten Member organisa-
tion. This organisation fa-
cilitates economic, political,
security, military, education-
al and socio-cultural integra-
tion among its members and
other nations in Asia. Its sec-
retariat is located in Jakarta,
Indonesia. The motto of ASE-
AN is “One Vision, One Iden-
tity, One Community”. ASE-
AN is 3rd largest market in
the world - larger than EU
and North American mar-
kets and has Free-trade
agreements (FTAs) with Chi-
na, Japan, South Korea, In-
dia, Australia and New Zea-
land. Today’s Southeast Asia
presents an example of var-
ied cultures living together
thriving, despite region expe-
riencing decades of conflicts.
The group acted as a plat-
form for the member nations
to resolve disputes from eco-
nomic aspects to strategic
and security aspects. ASEAN
has maintained stable rela-
tions with the great powers
including China, India, Ja-
pan, Russia and the US. T
he contribution towards re-
gional peace, stability and
prosperity goes to the wider
Asia-Pacific region. However
weak leadership, geopolitical
conflicts and rivalries in the
region have been some of the
obstacles. Failure to deal
with Intra-ASEAN security
issues like Rohingya crisis,
migration, human traffick-
ing, pandemics, climate
change, South China Sea and
piracy have definitely weak-
ened this organisation. In the
recently held ASEAN Sum-
mit member countries
agreed in principle to ad-
mit East Timor as the
11th member and the US ele-
vated its relationship with
the ASEAN to a comprehen-
sive strategic partnership.
The escalating tensions be-
tween the US and China and
the lack of consensus on
other critical geopolitical is-
sues including Ukraine war
and attitude of the junta in
Myanmar have rendered
ASEAN a bit ineffective.
India - ASEAN Relations
and Issues of Interest: In-
dia-ASEAN relations can be
traced to ancient times with
deep cultural relations. Hin-
duism, Buddhism and Islam
spread from India to the re-
gion and the imprint of this
shared cultural heritage is
also seen in art forms and ar-
chitecture. In post Cold War
era, India - ASEAN relations
have evolved from just eco-
nomic ties to strategic and
security concerns owing to
common threats and aspira-
tions. India’s ‘Look East Pol-
icy’ in 1990s marked the be-
ginning of strong India-ASE-
AN relations which were
further cemented by ‘
Act East
Policy’ in 2014. India became
a member of ASEAN Region-
al Forum (ARF), a key forum
for security dialogue in Asia
and a Summit-level Partner
in 2002. In 2015, India has also
set up a separate Mission to
ASEAN with a dedicated Am-
bassador to strengthen en-
gagement with ASEAN. In-
dia and ASEAN region is
celebrating 30th Anniversary
of their ASEAN-India Dia-
logue Relations in 2022. The
year is embarked as ‘ASEAN-
India Friendship Year’. The
year also witnessed few key
bilateral visits and meetings.
As part of series of such
meetings the latest one was
ASEAN Defence Ministers
Meet (ADMM Plus) of ten
ASEAN members and Eight
Dialogue partner countries,
India, USA, Russia, China,
Australia, Japan, New Zea-
land, and South Korea held in
Siem Reap, Cambodia on 23
Nov 2022. The Indian RM as-
serted need to counter trans-
national and cross border
terrorism in the region and
have raised concerns on on-
going ASEAN-China negotia-
tions on the code of conduct
in South China Sea and as-
serted the need to abide by
international law and should
not be unbalancing the re-
gion peace and security
.
The rise of China accom-
panied by its growing asser-
tiveness in South China Sea
and East China Sea has been
a cause of concern for many
ASEAN countries. These
countries view India as a pos-
sible partner in their effort to
maintain balance of power
and peace in the region.
India looks at ASEAN not
simply as an institution of
economic development but
also as an integral part of
India’s vision of stable, se-
cure and prosperous Asia.
Establishing trade and con-
nectivity links with South
East Asian countries via
North East has been one of
the focuses, some initiatives
in this regard are: India-My-
anmar-Thailand Trilateral
Highway, Kaladan Multi-
modal Transport and Me-
kong Ganga Corridor.
WAY FORWARD
Delay in completing infra-
structure projects - India-
Myanmar-Thailand trilater-
al highway
, the Kaladan Mul-
timodal Transit and Trans-
port Project, and the Moreh-
Mandalay Bus Services-due
to various political and fi-
nancial constraints, has im-
peded the progress of eco-
nomic cooperation and this
warrants immediate action.
There is a need to promote
Mekong - India corridor and
enhance physical and digital
connectivity. Build stronger
strategic, security and eco-
nomic ties with greater in-
terdependence with ASEAN
countries to counter Chinese
clout in the region. Need for
robust maritime connectivi-
ty between India and ASEAN
to realize full potentiality of
trade and business activities
and growth and development
of strategically crucial Indo
Pacific region. The two sides
should also explore the unex-
plored domains of energy
security
.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
A
Although the trade between
both regions has crossed
US$80 billion mark,
however it is skewed
against India. This is
primarily attributed to
Free trade agreement (FTA)
with ASEAN resulting into
flooding of cheap imported
products into India. India’s
geostrategic interests in the
Indo-Pacific region depend
on India’s bilateral and
multilateral engagements
with the countries in the
region. Maintaining
cordiality with ASEAN as
an organisation and with
the individual Southeast
Asian countries remains
crucial for India
ASEAN, an
international
organisation
was established by the
governments of five
countries Indonesia,
Malaysia, the Philippines,
Singapore and Thailand in
1967 to accelerate
economic growth, social
progress, and cultural
development and to
promote peace and security
in Southeast Asia

New Delhi: The UP govt on Thursday moved the Su-
preme Court challenging the Allahabad High Court order
quashing its draft notification on the urban local body
elections and directing the state to hold the polls without
reservation for the Other Backward Classes. The state
government, in its appeal against the December 27 order,
has said that the high court cannot quash the December 5
draft notification which had provided reservation of seats
in the urban body polls for the OBC – apart from those for
the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women.

New Delhi: Rahul Gan-

is on a nine-day break.
The yatra was stopped
after reaching Delhi on
Saturday
.Itwasofficially
said by the party that all
yatrishavebeenwalking
continuously for four
months. Thus everyone
needs a little rest and
also need to meet their
families. It said that
there is a need to repair
the containers in which
the passengers stay on
the way so that people do
not face any problem
when the journey goes
towards JK in the
midst of severe cold.
Congress has given all
these reasons for stop-
ping the yatra. Although
BJP leaders are raising
questions that the yatra
was not stopped during
festivals like Dussehra,
Diwali,buttheyatrawas
stopped to welcome
ChristmasandNewYear.
However, the Con-
gress has not revealed
what Rahul Gandhi
will do in the nine-day
break? Regarding this
also, it was said from
the BJP side that Rahul
is going to go missing
for nine days. Surpris-

experts and journalists
also indicated that Ra-

The National Investiga-

searches at 56 places
across Kerala on Thurs-
day in connection with
the Popular Front of In-
dia conspiracy case.
The searches at the
homes and offices of
several suspects with
ties to PFI cadres are
still ongoing. PFI was
banned by the Ministry

tember, along with its
associates and affiliates,
for a period of five years
under the Unlawful Ac-
tivities (Prevention)
Act, 1967, by declaring it

The raids began early
Thursday in coordina-
tion with state police in
response to specific in-
puts against PFI cadres
accused of involvement
in several terrorist acts
and the murder of sev-
eral people, including
Sanjith (Kerala, No-

present Chief Secretary
— Durga Shankar
Mishra — is retiring on
December 30 (Friday).
Durga Shankar
Mishra, country’s most
seniorIASofficerof 1984
batch, is counted among
the most trusted officers
of PM Narendra Modi.
Before the UP assembly
elections, a big change
was brought in the state
bureaucracy
, replacing
IAS Rajendra Kumar Ti-
wari. The decision was
taken by the central gov-
ernment to make Durga
Shankar Mishra as the
Chief Secretary of UP
,
giving extension of ser-
vice for one year.
Notably
, after Mishra,
IAS Rajendra Tiwari is
the second most senior
officer of the state who
is currently serving as
chairman UPSRTC and
whose retirement is in
February 2023!

Along with this, the

Energy, New Delhi, as
well as 1988 batch IAS
Manoj Kumar Singh,
are suddenly being dis-

of the bureaucracy
.
If sources are to be
believed then UP Chief
Secretary Mishra may
get another service ex-
tension as in view of
2024 Lok Sabha elec-
tionsMIshrahasproved
to be extremely success-
ful in making all the big

accessible to the public.
He is considered to be a
very hardworking and
honest officer with a
good hold in the bureau-
cracy in both center
and state. Along with
this, he will play an im-
portant role in the Glob-
al Investors Summit
and G20 to be held in the
year 2023.
Most of the senior of-
ficers of the state gov-
ernment are close to
retirement while few
are posted on central

situation the decision
has to be taken by the

Honoring the talents,
CM shared public wel-

govt in last four years.
“Coaching is being
provided to 20,000 stu-
dents in the state
through Anuprati Yoja-
na. Similarly, through
Udaan scheme, govern-
ment is providing 12
sanitary napkins to
women every month,”
he said.
“Due to this, children
of poor families are
also getting education
in English medium.
These children will be
able to work not only in
the country but also
abroad. Everyone is
troubled by inflation. In
such a situation, State
govt showed sensitivity
.
It has been decided to
give gas cylinders for Rs
500 from next April 1.
Under Kisan Mitra Urja
Yojana, electricity bills
of about 8L farmers of
state have become zero
and up to 50 units of
electricity is being giv-
en free of cost. In the
field of social security,
pension is being given
to about one crore peo-
ple in state,” Gehlot
said. Meanwhile. CM

No.1 in India, says Union govt
53.80L complaints resolved in 2022, more than 10L complaints under PSKS/PGKS
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Rajasthan has
tasted huge success in
solving the problems of
common people. The
Ministry of Public
Grievance Redressal
and Administrative Re-
forms of the Central
Government has con-
sidered Rajasthan as
number one in this mat-
ter in the whole coun-
try. The ministry has
given Rajasthan first,
Jharkhand second and
Madhya Pradesh third
position in the nation.
In 2022, Rajasthan re-
solved 53.80 lakh com-
plaints. Notably, this
ministry is directly un-
der the Prime Minis-
ter’s Office (PMO) and
Union Minister Jiten-
dra Kumar Singh has
sent information in
this regard to the states
this week. This infor-
mation has come to the
Chief Minister’s Office
(CMO) and Adminis-
trative Reforms De-
partment of Rajasthan.
This thing is also im-
portant for Rajasthan
because the govern-
ment here has now en-
tered the election year
and CM Ashok Gehlot
has often focused on
solving the problems of
the common man. Al-
though Rajasthan has
got this success due to
its readiness to redress
all kinds of complaints,
but the most important
role in this has been
played by Prashasan
Shehro/Gaon Ke Sang
campaigns.
More than 10 lakh
complaints have been
resolved under both
these campaigns. About
8 months ago, when CM
Gehlot took a meeting
of this campaign, he did
not like the answers of
the officers and the lev-
el of progress of the
work. Then he repri-
manded two IAS offic-
ers at the level of Prin-
cipal Secretary of the
Local Self Government
Department and Urban
Development Depart-
ment, Kunjilal Meena
and Bhawani Singh De-
tha. Detha was also im-
mediately replaced.
Since then there has
been improvement in
the functioning of both
these campaigns.
Even at the lower
level, the lethargy and
lack of number of offic-
ers and employees was
also exposed in these
campaigns. Then, on
deputation from vari-
ous departments, more
than 100 officers and
employees were en-
gaged in these cam-
paigns, so that the cam-
paign could be made
successful. Apart from
this, the state govern-
ment has also amended
the rules related to the
Panchayat Raj and Ur-
ban Development De-
partment and the Au-
tonomous Government
Department more than
50 times so that people
can get their house-land
pattas. The result was
that both the major
campaigns running
sluggishly became ex-
amples of success for
Rajasthan government.
Wherever CM Gehlot
did not see satisfacto-
ry progress in the
work, the district col-
lectors were also
changed continuously.
Gehlot reminds PM of
Mangarh Dham status
First India Bureau
Udaipur: Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot told
two BJP MPs to go and
explain to Prime Minis-
ter that the Chief Min-
ister is after them to
declare Mangarh Dham
as national monument.
Chief Minister Gehlot
said, “Prime Minister
Modi had come in a
mood to declare Man-
garh Dham of Ban-
swara as national mon-
ument. He also dis-
cussed this with our
Chief Secretary. I also
went there in the same
mood. But don’t know
why his mood changed.
Don’t know what’s the
secret. Do you know?”
The tribal talent hon-
or ceremony was held
on Thursday here.
BJP’s Udaipur MP Ar-
junlal Meena and BJP’s
Dungarpur-Banswara
MP Kanakamal Katara
were present. CM Ge-
hlot said these things
looking at them in his
address. Although later
CM said, these things
are happening in family
environment. CM fur-

augurated repair and
renovation work of
about 5000 dirty streets
of the three zones in
the walled city.
The program was or-
ganised in Ward No. 65

years. Cleaning was

zones will get a lot of
relief from this much-
awaited cleaning and
repair work,” said May-

Rahul will spoil
atmosphere of
Kashmir: Thakur
From Pg 1...
Regarding the new
pension scheme, he
said that it is the old
habit of the Gehlot
government to blame
others. All the states
had given their con-
sent regarding the
new pension scheme,
further process is on.
He had promised
loan waiver to the
farmers, which did
not happen even in
four and a half years.
Rahul is going to
spoil the atmosphere
of Kashmir
Union Minister
Anurag Thakur also
made a verbal attack
on Rahul Gandhi’s
Bharat Jodo Yatra.
He said that Rahul
Gandhi is going to
visit Kashmir under
Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Are they going there
to spread love or
spoil the environ-
ment?. Rahul should
tell whether he is in
support of the re-
moval of Article 370
and 35A or not. He
said that the history
of Congress has been
of riots. Since the
1984 riots, there has
been an association
with the riots across
the country
. My ques-
tion to those who
have implemented
Article 370, 35A in
Kashmir, due to
which around 50,000
people have died in
the last several years
– Are Article 370 and
35A, which have been
abolished from Jam-
mu and Kashmir,
Does Rahul Gandhi
agree to their aboli-
tion? Told Anurag
Thakur that one
crore six lakh tour-
ists have come to
Jammu and Kashmir
in the last nine
months, does Rahul
welcome them?.

Sammelan of the Sadri
Jain community , threw
light on various pro-
jects ranging from flag-
ship schemes of the
government, visited
Ranakpur Jain temple
and wished for State’s
prosperity
.
The mega event start-
ed with great enthusi-
asm in Sadri town of
Pali district where
thousands of Jain fami-
lies participated. The
event will continue till
December 31. Apart
from prominent indus-
trialists of Jain society,
Jain families from dif-
ferent states were also
present on the occasion.
After reaching Sadri
by air from Jaipur to
take part in the func-
tion, Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot went to
Ranakpur and visited
the Jain temple. Earli-
er, Gehlot was felici-
tated and welcomed by
the organisers of the
Sneh Sammelan, apart
from prominent indus-
trialists of the Jain
community, on his ar-
rival at Sadri.
After returning from
Ranakpur, Gehlot at-
tended the conference,
and greeted the Jain
families from all over
the country with folded
hands. Chief Minister
Gehlot in his address,
expressed happiness
that he was remem-
bered on this occasion.
Recounting his govt’s
achievements, the CM
said, The aim is to keep
the common man
healthy through the
Chiranjeevi Yojana. We
have opened 94 colleges
in four years if a
school has 500 children,
there will be a College.
We set an example of
good governance dur-
ing Corona period. No
one was allowed to sleep
hungry
. Single window
system is working for
investment in Ra-
jasthan.”
Referring to Bha-
mashahs of Sadri, he
said, With the imple-
mentation of NREGA,
the situation in famine
is no longer the same as
before. There is a target
of generating employ-
ment for 10 lakhs indi-
viduals. There is no dif-
ference between Pali
Jodhpur. Pali will get
benefit of Delhi -Mum-
bai Freight Corridor.
1670 English medium
schools have already
been opened. Earlier, I
was also against Eng-
lish. But in today’s
changed era, English
language is very much
necessary. English me-
dium has been intro-
duced in government
schools, Gehlot said.
Look back on the days gone
by with a desire to learn,
but never with regret.

undertaken by the Fi-

ment has been installed
at the main entrance of
the wing. Although the
office of the Principal
Secretary has not been
‘tempered’ with.
All the departments
of theRajasthangovern-
ment are located in the
State Secretariat. Offic-
es of various depart-
ments are located in one
verandah or one line or
as a cluster. Another im-
portant aspect is that
apart from GAD and
DoP, the offices of no
other Secretary have
been ear-marked, so
much so that even the of-
fices of Principal Secre-
taries of the Home and
Finance Department
also keep on changing.
Moreover, the room in
which Finance Secre-
tary (Revenue) had been
operatingtheirofficefor
the past several years,
has now been taken over
by a Minister. Similarly
,
the office wherein the
Finance Secretary (Rev-

(Room no. 4123), outside
which the board of Fi-
nance Department has
also been put up, was
earlier the office of Sec-
retaries of LSG, Energy
,
and Tourism Depart-
ments. This room is not
earmarked for Finance.
Word in the bureau-
cratic circles is that it
has been done on the
directions of Finance
Secretary (Revenue)

his video, where he is

PM Modi can’t say no to
his word, went viral. “I
am pained that the word
I said about PM Modi is
being misrepresented.
The wrong meaning is
being taken out of a
part of my speech in
Parbatsar Jan Aakrosh
Sabha. While speaking
in Marwari, the word
was said which
shouldn’t have been
there. But there was a
sense of protecting org
interest. Senior people
in Delhi have reports, so
what I will put before
Modi ji other senior
leaders, they will also
agree, because he is our
protector. I have given
70 years of my life to the
organisation share 40
year- long relationship
with the PM. All the
