Duo claims state government has encroached on exclusive power vested with local bodies to formulate DCPR and the new rules work against public interest.
Two former corporators of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), have moved Bombay High Court (HC) challenging the Unified
Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR) sanctioned by the state government last month. Calling the move unconstitutional, they sought quashing of the government’s notification and for declaring the rules void in their writ petition.
Is Indian media divided ideologically, like political parties?
Newspapers, magazines, TV channels and social media have all come under the scrutiny not so much of the users of these news sources as from those so-called intellectuals and ideologues who are per se classified as Right Liberals and Left Liberals.
While the Left Liberals call the Right Liberals as Communal, religious bigots, the Right Liberals call the Left Liberals, as pseudo-secular and Tukde-Tukde gang. We can even identify and name each of the media as to which category each one belongs.
For example, ‘if you ask, to which category Arnab Goswami or Rajdeep Sardesai belongs, one who is TV news-savvy will tell you the category without batting an eye-lid.
