INCREDIBLE INDIA
TMT: buses bought-but no drivers !
Thane: As many as 126 buses of Thane Municipal Transport (TMT) are parked idle in depots due to the shortage of staff to run them, causing a great deal of misery and inconvenience to the residents who accuse the transport undertaking of deficiency in service. Due to the lethargic attitude of authorities, TMT is suffering a daily loss of around Rs 4 lakh. TMT has a total fleet of 444 buses. The authorities had earlier claimed that the commuters’ problems would be eased once buses under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission were received but that didn’t help.
This is another of our national malaise, lack of planning. Waste, budget overshoot are mostly due to such approach of the bureaucracy. Here employing drivers can become an urgent affair. one more opportunity for making illegitimate money in recruitment. - Editor
In CTET over 6 lakh teachers failed
Nagpur: An overwhelming majority of future teachers failed to crack the qualifying exam held by the CBSE. The first-ever Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) was held to be a benchmark for new teacher appointments for CBSE schools. The results, however are dismal with 86% candidates failing the test across the country. About 7.1 lakh candidates appeared for the exam but only 97,901 managed to pass.
Since case pending-aircraft left on the runway
Nagpur: An abandoned plane in the middle of a runway of Nagpur’s Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar International Airport has become a major threat to the flights taking off and landing here. Shockingly, the airport authorities expressed their inability to move the plane of Continental Airlines to a safer location. The plane has been abandoned at the airport due to a case pending in the high court. It poses a grave threat to hundreds of flights arriving and taking off here daily. Senior airport director Vinod Kumar Yadav said, “There should not be any object in the radius of 75 meter of the runway strip."
What is stopping the Airport Authority to approach court and get it cleared? Why it should wait for an accident to happen? Isn't this in line with our curative approach rather than preventive approach of governance? - Editor
