मेरा काम दिल्ली के व्यापारियों के हितों को सुरक्षा करना है : मनीष सिसोदिया

–    जीएसटी काउंसिल की आगामी बैठकों से पहले दिल्ली सरकार ने शुरू की व्यापारियों से चर्चा

–    व्यापारियों की जरूरतों को समझने के लिए दिल्ली सरकार की पहल

 

नई दिल्ली : 24/10/2016

 

नई दिल्ली। जीएसटी काउंसिल की आगामी बैठकों से पहले दिल्ली सरकार ने व्यापारियों की जरूरतों को समझने के लिए अलग-अलग व्यापारिक संगठनों के साथ विचार-विमर्श शुरू कर दिया है। इसी क्रम में सोमवार को पेपर मर्चेंट एसोसिएशन के साथ एक सेमिनार का आयोजन किया गया। इसमें दिल्ली के उप-मुख्यमंत्री और वित्त मंत्री मनीष सिसोदिया ने कहा, बतौर वित्त मंत्री मेरा काम दिल्ली के व्यापारियों के हितों की सुरक्षा करना है। इसीलिए इस तरह की कसलटेशंस शुरू की गई हैं।

उन्होंने कहा कि जीएसटी काउंसिल की पिछली मीटिंग्स में काफी चीजें तय होने जा रही थीं। लेकिन मैंने वहां कहा कि मुझे नहीं पता कि बाकी वित्त मंत्रियों ने अपने राज्य के लोगों से, अपने राज्य के व्यापारियों से कितनी चर्चा की है, पर मुझे दिल्ली के व्यापारियों के साथ अभी और चर्चा की जरूरत है। इसके बाद बाकी वित्त मंत्रियों ने भी माना कि विभिन्न मुद्दों पर अभी और चर्चा की जानी चाहिए।

मनीष सिसोदिया ने ये भी कहा कि इन बैठकों में एक-एक प्रोडक्ट पर चर्चा होनी चाहिए। इस बात पर भी चर्चा होनी चाहिए कि फलां प्रोडक्ट को किस स्लैब में रखने से क्या फायदे हैं और क्या नुकसान।

दिल्ली के वित्त मंत्री ने कहा कि हमने अपने बजट में कोई टैक्स नहीं बढ़ाया बल्कि कई प्रोडक्ट पर हमने टैक्स कम किए। अब चूंकि जीएसटी लागू हो रहा है तो फैसला नेशनल लेवल पर होगा लेकिन दिल्ली की तरफ से हमारा पूरा जोर रहेगा कि जितना मिनिमम टैक्स रहे। क्योंकि मैक्सिमम टैक्स रखने पर चोरी होगी। रिश्वतखोरी बढ़ेगी। इंस्पेक्टरों की कमाई होगी। व्यापारी औऱ ग्राहक दोनों के ऊपर भारी पड़ेगा।

पेपर मर्चेंट एसोसिएशन ने सुझाव दिया है कि सभी प्रकार के पेपर व बोर्ड को जीएसटी की 12 प्रतिशत की कैटेगरी  में रखा जाए। अभी तक एजुकेशनल बुक्स औऱ कॉपियों पर टैक्स नहीं लगता है। इसके अलावा इनपुट आउटपुट का डिफरेंस कैरीफॉरवर्ड होना चाहिए। साथ ही दिल्ली में टैक्स की लाइबिलिटी विक्रेता व्यापारी की होनी चाहिए।

New Delhi: 26/10/2016

 

Delhi Govt reviews preparation for prohibition of burning of garbage, dry leaves and dust control measures ahead of Winter & Diwali

Environment Minister, Shri Imran Hussain on Wednesday reviewed the preparation of various land owning agencies regarding prohibition of burning of garbage, dry leaves, waste, plastic, rubber etc and dust control measures at construction sites to check air pollution in Delhi.

The meeting was attended by senior officers of the Environment Department, Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), Revenue Department, Delhi Development Authority(DDA), New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), East/North/South MCDs,  Delhi Cantonment Board(DCB), Central Public Works Department (CPWD), PWD,  Traffic Police, Health Department,  Delhi Parks & Garden Society(DPGS).

In the meeting, the minister directed strict compliance of the Hon’ble NGT order in O.A. 21 of 2014 titled “VardhmanKaushik Vs. UOI” regarding prohibition of burning of garbage, dry leaves, waste, plastic, rubber etc and dust control measures at construction sites.

The National Green Tribunal has  directed all Land Owning Agencies in Delhi to impose fine of Rs.5,000/- on  persons found  burning of leave material in the open and fine upto Rs. 5 lakh on the owners/ builders who are found not following the dust control measures while carrying out construction activity.

Delhi government has conferred powers on SDMs &Tehsildars to levy fine of Rs. 5,000/- on the persons found indulged in burning of dry leaves, waste material, plastic, rubber etc. in open.  Besides this all the land owning agencies, municipal corporations, DDA, Delhi Cantonment Board etc. are similarly vested with powers to impose levy of like amount from the violators

Mr Hussain asked all the land owning agencies to intensify their inspections as the winter is fast approaching and air pollution problem is likely to become grave, as seen from the past experience.

The Minister’s direction assumes special significance in view of forthcoming Diwali festival coinciding with onset of winter season. This is the part of season when lower colder layers of atmosphere do not permit easy dissipation of particulate matter and results in heightened air pollution levels in the National Capital Region.

During the meeting, land owning agencies informed about action being taken against violators of dust control norms and those found indulging in burning of waste matter in open.

The Minister emphasized the need to increase the vigil in the coming days so that instances of violations of dust control norms and burning in open could be minimized as otherwise these factors could add to air pollution much to the discomfort of citizens of Delhi especially senior citizens and young children.

Mr Hussain observed that neighbouring States viz. Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have already been requested to stop instances of burning of agriculture residue which are also one of the major sources of air pollution during this part of season. In order to have effective check on sale/stocking/bursting of firecrackers especially the ones illegally imported/Chinese crackers, 11 teams headed by SDMs duly assisted by ExecutiveEngineers of DPCC are making also surprise inspections in their respective areas.

The team deputed in the North West district seized huge quantity of Chinese crackers in Avantika market and the West district  team seized imported crackers Tilak Market, Ramesh Nagar in the night of 25.10.2016.

Besides this, Delhi Police has been requested to strictly enforce ban on bursting of crackers from 10.00 pm to 6.00 am.

The Minister observed that initial trends indicate the commitment of people in controlling air pollution as the residential average data collected since 17^thOctober, 2016 till 25^th October, 2016 is lately showing downward trend in so far as PM 10 and PM 2.5 are concerned.(Chart enclosed).

The Minister once again appealed to general public to fully support Delhi Government’s Anti Fire Crackers Campaign so that Delhites could breathe fresh and healthy air this Diwali.

मनीष सिसोदिया ने कहा, “ खुले में शराब पीने वालों से मैं अपील भी करना चाहता हूं और चेतावनी भी दे रहा हूं कि वे ऐसा न करें। क्योंकि ये महिला सुरक्षा व लॉ एंड ऑर्डर के खिलाफ है और लोगों के लिए भी परेशानी का सबब है। खुले में शराब पीने वालों और उनके परिवार के लिए भी ये ठीक नहीं है। उन्हें जेल जाना पड़ सकता है। जुर्माना भरना पड़ सकता है।“

उन्होंने ये भी कहा कि दिल्ली में जहां भी शराब की दुकानें ठीक से काम नहीं कर रही हैं, लाइसेंस का उल्लंघन करके चल रही हैं और इन वजहों से लोगों को दिक्कत हो रही है, तो उनके खिलाफ सरकार बहुत सख्ती से पेश आएगी।

इससे पहले मनीष सिसोदिया ने एक्साइज विभाग के अधिकारियों के साथ एक बैठक में ये निर्देश जारी किए। बैठक में ये भी फैसला लिया गया कि दीपावली के बाद पूरी दिल्ली में एक सप्ताह तक जागरूकता अभियान चलाकर लोगों से खुले में शराब न पीने की अपील की जाएगी। लोगों को बताया जाएगा कि दिल्ली में खुले में शराब पीना अपराध है। लोगों को सजा और जुर्माने के बारे में भी बताया जाएगा। एक सप्ताह के जागरूकता अभियान के बाद खुलेआम शराब पीने वालों के खिलाफ धरपकड़ अभियान छेड़ दिया जाएगा। एक्साइज विभाग की टीमें दिल्ली के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में रात 10 बजे तक निगरानी करेंगी। शराब की दुकानों के आसपास विशेष निगरानी रखी जाएगी। और खुले में या कार में बैठकर शराब पीने वालों के खिलाफ तुरंत कार्रवाई की जाएगी।

इसके अलावा एक्साइज विभाग की टीमों ने 26 अक्टूबर यानी बुधवार से दिल्ली की सभी शराब की दुकानों का इंस्पेक्शन का काम शुरू कर दिया है। किसी भी दुकान में किसी भी तरह के नियम का उल्लंघन पाए जाने पर सख्त कार्रवाई की जाएगी। इंस्पेक्शन पर जाने वाली टीमें ये भी देखेंगी कि शराब की सभी दुकानों में सीसीटीवी लगाने के आदेश का पालन हो रहा है या नहीं। देखा जाएगा कि सीसीटीवी लगवाए गए हैं या नहीं। सीसीटीवी काम कर रहे हैं या नहीं। ये टीमें शराब की दुकानों के आसपास के माहौल को भी देखेंगे। ये देखेंगे कि कहीं दुकान आसपास का माहौल ओपन लिकर कंजप्शन को बढ़ावा देने वाला तो नहीं है। अगर ऐसा है तो शराब की दुकान के बाहर भी सीसीटीवी लगाना होगा जिससे वहां का का पूरा एरिया कवर हो जाए।

• Delhi govt releases NASA image of Oct 26^th which shows haze blanket across North India due to crop residue burning in Haryana and Punjab
• Delhi govt renews appeal of not bursting crackers on Diwali

Dated : 29/10/2016

Delhi government on Saturday reviewed the ambient air quality in the national capital on the eve of Diwali and the analysis has found that fires in the fields arising out of agricultural residue burning in the neighbouring states are having a major adverse effect on the air quality.

The NASA image of October 26^th, which is being released to the media along with this press release shows fires raging in the fields of Punjab and Haryana due to burning of agricultural residue are causing a blanket of haze across entire North India, including Delhi.

Agricultural fires in the fields of neighbouring states particularly Punjab and Haryana are a  major contributor in the deterioration of ambient air quality, which will also suffer due to inversion and calm meteorological conditions currently prevailing.

Given this situation, the Environment Minister Mr Imran Hussain has reiterated the Delhi government’s appeal to the residents of the national capital to stay away from crackers on Diwali, since bursting of these crackers would aggravate the deterioration in air quality.

The teams of Environment department have seized illegally imported crackers  at Qutab Road area, Moti Nagar, Rajouri Garden and Patel Nagar. The Drive against sale of imported illegal/Chinese crackers is working as a deterrent and has shown an impact on the sale of imported/Chinese crackers.

Mr Jain expressed the hope that the South MCD will also expedite the process of granting a NOC to the PWD so that lighting of dark spots across Delhi could be completed at the earliest.
