Strong Action on Women Safety
http://gse-social-work.blogspot.com/2012/12/strong-action-on-women-safety.html

Hello Friends,

I want to write something more about women safety in our country, you must have remembered about that Delhi Girl Case, For your information, that girl had been sifted to Singapore for treatment, but now she passes away on 29th at 2.AM. I came to know it in the morning watching news on AAJ TAK i.e. 'Tham Gayi Zindgi', I can not hold my tears and crying. Each and every people has got a question in their mind about women security in India and asking to hang all culprits in the middle of the market.

But I appreciate our Government, that they have taken quick action and started FAST TRACK COURT for  fast hearing of the case.

Before some day, I had written a quotes i.e.

"Change the way of your thinking, the world will be changed automatically" -- ravi kumar, i think, this is the quotes, we should follow, we should change our thinking towards women, then women could be safe and secure in our society. The women also should change their thinking. They should be strong and keep themselves far from traditional thoughts. We should remove gender inequalities from our society.

The Government is working on the correction and addition of the rules of molestation. We should work on ourselves and change the way of thinking. India is developing day by day, but people's thinking remain same.

We should have Law like that which can prevent such activity. We should educate each and every person in our society, so that people could not think like that. They think positive towards our society and can contribute for the success of our society.

As far as the punishment of that culprits has concerned, now they should be hanged only. This is the only punishment should be given.

Now our country need such a law on Various things like Living Relationship, Sex education, Molestation, Gay rules, Love marriage rules etc.

If you have anything in your mind, just add comment under it.

Thanks

Strong action on Women Safety

Hello Friends,

You just remembered the shocking occurrence of gang rape on 16th December in Delhi. All the peoples are angry on this occurrence and wanted a hard and strong law on the women safety. People are doing movement all the parts of the country for the same. I just wanted to know the government action on the same. We should not blame our government on the same. It is all about the Police's mistake. They should do proper duty in the night also.

Let see the actions taken by our government as per Press release id 91128 dated KSD/SK/22.12.2012 

Following is the text of the statement made by the Union Home Minister Shri Sushil Kumar Scinde on the gang rape case in Delhi : 

“The Government is extremely concerned about the shocking occurrence of gang rape, which took place in Delhi on 16th December 2012. 

All the six accused have been arrested by the police, the last one yesterday from Jharkhand. Sufficient evidence has been gathered to prosecute them and the charge sheet will be filed very shortly. Government is requesting the Court for a speedy trial through a fast track court on a day to day basis. 

Prompt action has also been taken against the transporter whose bus was used for this heinous crime. Permits for all the nine vehicles owned by this transporter have been cancelled. 

The victim is being provided the best medical care. Government will do whatever is necessary for her recovery. Her condition is being monitored very closely. She has given a statement about the crime to an Executive Magistrate last night. 

Government shares the widespread concern and support that has been expressed throughout society for the girl who has so suffered. Government also respects the right of legitimate protest. At the same time, there is need to exercise calm at this juncture and for everyone to work together to improve the safety and security environment. 

On its part, Government is committed to ensuring the safety of women in the Capital as well as in the rest of the country. A number of steps have recently been taken in Delhi, including the following:- 

(i) Improving the public transport system by increasing the number of buses at night. 

(ii) Installation of GPS on all public transport vehicles to ensure that they do not stray from their scheduled routes. 

(iii) Ensuring that all personnel deployed on public transport carry identification badges and are verified. 

(iv) Proactive and enhanced patrolling by police vans/motor cycles along routes taken by families and women returning late at night from entertainment hubs and work places. 

To ensure a strong law to deal with crimes of this nature, Government will take immediate steps for the amendment of the Criminal Law for enhanced and more effective punishment in the rarest of the rare cases of sexual assault such as this. 

Government will set up a Commission of Inquiry under the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1952 to review responses to this shocking crime and to suggest measures to improve the safety and security of women in the capital.” 

According to me, the Government has taken good actions, but we want a perfect law against women security in the whole country, so that in the future, there is no such incident would not be occurred.

Why People are on the road and near by the President Bhawan, because they want law to be made quickly and hang all the culprit of the said occurrence on 16th Dec 2012.

What are your suggestions on the same, please comment below. 

Thanks

Bonded Child Labour illegal below age 14

Hello Friends, I would like to share with your one Policy and rules which should be strictly follow in each and every field of India.  The Government's Policy called The National Child Labour Project Scheme since 1988. I want to tell you brief about this scheme. Under this scheme, the government search the children who are in hazardous occupations under below age 14, they will help to rescue such child from that conditions and get them admission-ed in special schools.

Frankly speaking, any person who employs a child in any prohibited occupations and give employment to the children under the age of 14 will be getting punishment with imprisonment or with fine. The Government has started a campaigns against these type of person against child labour and enforcement of child labour laws.

According to Press Release ID : 89872

I would like to tell you that there are many such places, companies, hotels, restaurants where small children are employment who are generally younger below age 14. When I was returning to delhi from my home town, I saw near the railway stations, there are many such tea soaps where small children were washing glass and pods. I wondered to see them that our central government came with this child labour act policy, but still peoples are breaking the rules and guys I would like to tell you that why these are happening, the soaps associations are tied up with local polices and give money against this.

Now think, that our government has made policies and law but they do not care about others sort of things that people are following or not, they fully depends upon Polices who became careless, except some of the honest police officers, all are careless and take bribe against our law. They itself break our law.

We should cooperate with the government and should strictly follow this child labour act, we should not hire children for our selfish work. If we see such childs working in soaps, we should just rescue such childrens and get them admissioned in the schools.

If you found such childrens just contact the local polices or Ministry of Labour and Employment

Our Government has made a committee called Gurupadswamy Committee to study on the same. Our Ministry has own a separate department of Child Labour

Updated : 29-June-2014 Indian Railway Tatkal Scheme booking still not working

What to say about Indian Railway tatkal booking, it is still not worth it. I am a professional writer. I have to book tatkal ticket from Chennai Central to Howrah for my parents who had gone to CMCH Vellore for treatment of my mom's nerve problem in her arm and leg. I was talking to my father and he said to me that doctor had written many types of test and after looking report of test, she has given some medicines for two months and they have to return back to Jharia, Dhanbad. That is why I am on irctc.co.in. I had checked one day earlier seat status, it was showing 259 seats available in sleeper and 48 seats available in 3rd AC from Chennai (MAS) to Howrah(HWH), but when I sat for booking tatkal ticket of 20th October 2012, My weird experience of the Indian Railway Tatkal Scheme. I cried while booking ticket.

Weird Experience on irctc.co.in

When I opened Google and type IRCTC and pressed entered, I found website from where I had to register tickets. When I clicked on irctc.co.in around 10:00 AM, it’s says SSL error i.e. server error, I keep trying to book tickets, but unfortunately time was passing fastly, it was 10:30 AM but the website did not opened, so that I could register tickets. Then I planned to check status of seats availability on indianrail.gov.in, it says seats not available and the seat status in tatkal is in waiting list. Now friends, say where I was wrong, I have my broadband, there is no problem with my internet, but website does not open generally at the time of 10.00 to 11.00 AM. This is my weird experience with irctc.co.in. I will give zero (0) rating to this service of website irctc.co.in.

Friends, this is not a fault of website, but it is a fault of our system. The government has passed many rules and policies on tatkal bookings like following

Booking open at 10 AM
Any ID proof is urgent while booking
There is not agent could book tatkal scheme
There are some special trains on puja vacations etc

There are many such rules have been passed, but still our system is not working well, you know why? When we are not working well, then how we can expect from the system. In our country, still agents are collecting high amount to book tickets on tatkal scheme and our railway staff is also supports and help these thief agents who are making our system fully corrupt. The government has put lot of restrictions on this, but still this is running everywhere.

My uncle say, there is a big queue of people in lodge where they stayed who want ticket but they are not getting it and they are forced to live in the lodge for some more time due to not getting tickets. Because you see, if you have urgent need of railway tickets, you will not get it urgently and happy news is that you can not do anything except waiting, because you can not purchase flight tickets. At last, I had to say my parents that you just go to Katpadi stations at night and stand in a long long queue to get tatkal tickets. Thing at railway stations, people do make a queue from night, as the booking will start from 10 AM in the morning. Look, there is a very long queue for that. Still they will not get tickets, because all tickets will be booked by agents first by giving some money (bribe). This makes our system weird. Finally my uncle could not get Tatkal ticket.

Again in Queue Next Day

Friends, My Uncle stood in a queue to take tatkal ticket in KATPADI, VELLORE station, they said, there are 55 people who is before him. Generally what happens in counters, there are some agents who do take tickets in advance and sell the needy people in very high amount and earn black money from it. Finally today on 20th October, My uncle stood in a queue since night and it is now 10:00 AM and railway Tatkal booking starts and all agents start taking tickets first, there were no security in the counters to see. Do not know why? The Government has taken action against agents, but still the corruption lies at railway booking counters, agents give some money to railway staff too, so that both could earn from it. Finally, it is 10:15 AM, my uncle on counter and railway staff say that there is no ticket, it is waiting now.

Now Friends, say what should they do, although they got offers from agents to purchase tatkal ticket by giving extra money. Now you tell me, what should be done. My parents have been waiting at lodge due to not getting reservation, till when they can wait. At last They have to give extra money to agents to get reservation like that If you are thirsty and there is no drinking water anywhere except some dirty water blowing on the land, what you should do, you have to drink it finally.

This is the funda of agents which makes the Indian Railway Tatkal Scheme system dirty like that. The Government has made system, but they could not able to manage it to stop corruption everywhere.

You would tell me that, the Government staff is keep going to the concern department and keep checking, but when they about to come in the railway ticket reservation centres to check the faulty system, all staff already know it that manager is about to come to audit and they become alert earlier. The Government senior team should check the quality suddenly so that they can find the fault and remove it.

Again in QUEUE today at KATPADI STATION

You see, today my uncle again stood in a queue since night long, but unfortunately, due to not getting tickets, some of the young boys get involved in quarreling from the railway staff, they were fedup with this system totally. I was having great depression due to this, because it is the third day we were trying for tickets from vellore to dhanbad. But we are getting it.

Complaint in IRCTC

Finally I have complaint to IRCTC, i was calling at toll free numbers but lines were busy, no body is taking call then I mailed them and gets quick reply from them: here is a brief about that mail regarding complaint:

Mail from my side:

Reply from IRCTC

I can share full contents exactly due to some privacy reasons but they say that

"This is programmed activity and no manual intervention is possible for blocking Tatkal booking. There are large no. of passengers who book Tatkal tickets through thousands of face to face counters, and Internet. Tatkal seats are reserved with in few minutes.
During the period from 10.00 AM to 11.00 AM there is heavy rush on the website due to opening of Tatkal Booking . To overcome these constraints, steps like database upgradation , addition of more servers and increased Internet Bandwidth have been taken."

Updated on 29th June 2014

This can be pleasant news for us that IRCTC has taken action on above mentioned problem, they have launched their fastest website for railway reservation, now new website has 7200/minute capacity and one lakh 20 thousands people could be able to use this website simultaneously. Read this news.

One More Update, I was reading an article on How to Book Confirmed Tatkal Train Tickets [IRCTC]. This Article is very useful for you. Have a look.

Prevention of Drug and alcohol use in Educational Institution

Drug and Alcohol are the harmful drinks, it should be avoided by every people. But Here I have come to discuss one thing about the drug and alcohol use by the school students who is in teen age between 12 to 16. They should take this, because this is harmful for them.

Our government has also created a program with collaboration with National Bal Bhawan for the prevention of the same and create awareness for ill-effects and bad affects of alcohol and drug in our body. In the school, there should be an awareness program which should give training to the students about the same, so that they came to know about the fact.

Always, students keep started the smoking, drinking, and drug in the bad friendship circle. They parents do not know about it. Students take this and hide from their parents.

I would say, The Government has taken big and good steps regarding the same issue. Our Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has started this program and opening a Bal kendra in the whole country and start making awareness through the poster, writing, lectures, rally and serials.

We should also start making awareness among our child and if you are teacher, say to your students about its bad affects in our body.

Thanks
