CAA rules allows dual citizenship : pleas in SC
A
written submission filed In Supreme Court by India.
union Muslim League has following contention about the CAA rules
●
CAA rules overlook “ effective
renunciation of citizenship “ . Means the CAA provision does not have a
provision that those who will get citizenship will avoid the citizenship of a
previous country . This is a violation of construction . The Indian constitution
does not allow dual citizenship , and a person must abolish citizenship of any
country before becoming an India citizen .
●
The other defect pointed by
petitioner is that CAA does not included , Ahmadiyya community which is widely
persecuted. Also that CAA does not include atheists are not included .
●
Only a “ selected group “ has been
chosen for citizenship . Refugees from Sri Lanka , Myanmar , Rohingyas has been
excluded .
The court is set to hear the case on April 9 .
New all whether road adds to Ladakh’s strategic heft
Border Road Organization ( BRO ) on March
27 got a major breakthrough in
completion of Nimmu – Padam – Barcha
road . The road has got completed but a tunnel under ShipkiLa pass still has to
be constructed.
The work for the tunnel was started by BRO .
The tunnel is likely to be completed by 2025 .
About Nimu – Padam – Darcha Road
The road will allow surface movement from Leh
to Lahaul Spiti through the world’s highest tunnel at Shinku La pass at 16,580
feet .
“ It will be the first all weather road to
Ladakh connecting the rest of the country .
It is the third axis and shortest route
compared to currently operational Manali
– Leh Road ( 428 km ) and Srinagar Leh Road ( 439 km ) .
At present security forces , stock ration and
ammunition months in advance to maintain vigil on borders .China on other hand
, has developed all weather networks close to the Line of Actual Control ( LAC
) .
Opening the Shinku La pass will make the road
much faster and less exposed for mobilization of troops in Ladakh .
The
apprehensions
However there are murmurs and discontent among
local people over the project . Climate activists are concerned that the
project might change the landscape of Zaskar .
States identify thousands of
hectares of ‘degraded ‘ forest land to be offered for earning green
credits
Weeks after the Union Environment ministry
Announced the rules for its Green Credit
Programme ( GCP ) , 10 states have identified parcels of degraded forest land ,
totalling about 3853 hectare , will be
available for individuals , groups , public , private units to earn and
potentially trade green credit .
The green Credit programme shall incentivise environmental green credit
through market based mechanisms and
generate green credit .
The credit will be generated in several ways .
●
Under the scheme , registered and approved entities can pay to finance afforestation projects in
specific tracts of degraded forest or wasteland . Two years after planting and
after proper evaluation – each planted
tree could be worth one ‘ green credit ‘ .
●
Offset Obligation – The green
credits can be used by companies which have diverted forest land for non forest
purposes .
●
Companies can also finance the
forest department and give the land to forest .
●
In several states including
Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh , where large tracts have been historically
diverted foe mining, getting contiguous non forest land for compensatory
afforestation is challenging .
