Society NOC not needed to sell, purchase and rent out a flat 2
Maharashtra Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad announced that no prior permission from the cooperative housing society is needed by the owner to sell or rent out their flat. This will enable the owner to make a hassle-free deal. In most societies, the committee members exploit the owners for simple paper, they sometimes delay in rendering NOC (no objection certificate). With this announcement, the alleged nuisance that occurs due to the time taken by the society body to clear such proposals can be avoided.
As per model bylaw no 38 of cooperative housing societies, for the sale and purchase of a flat, a NOC from the society is not required. Similarly, as per bylaw no 43, no NOC from the society is required to sublet the flat.
Further, Awhad contended that the homeowner has the right to own the house, sell or rent it. “There is no need for permission if there is a deal between the homeowner and the buyer. If housing societies forbid the selling or renting out of a flat to certain castes, creeds, religions or communities, it will divide society further. Tuesday’s decision is to keep Mumbai’s cosmopolitan status intact and keep people together,” he declared.
The Maharashtra Societies Welfare Association, which assists cooperative societies and their office-bearers in the smooth conduct of their day-to-day affairs, has welcomed Awhad’s announcement.
Jitendra Awhad said, “It has come to our notice that housing societies victimize on the basis of caste, creed, religion and community and they refuse the owner permission to sell or rent out the flat. In areas where a particular community controls, only vegetarians are allowed to purchase flats while in other areas, selling or renting out the flat to those from the minorities, Dalits and backward classes is prohibited. This is increasing hatred. As per the bylaws, the flat owner does not require the permission of the society to sell or rent out their flat. Despite this, societies are insisting on their approvals being obtained.”
Awhad said Mumbai was globally known as a cosmopolitan city and if a flat owner was not allowed to sell or rent their flat to a particular caste, creed, religion and community, it would hurt the city’s image.
Two different theories of attack on Pawar's Silver Oak 4
Some whispers in political corridors state, that people who pelted stones at Sharad Pawar’s house were hired from Pune. The police investigation has revealed that a political party tried to cause riots by these hired strikers but failed. There is a common discussion that the Shiv Sena leader might have plotted this attack to divert the attention from ongoing ED and IT rides. Since the Silver Oak incident happened, the news about Shiv Sena leader’s corruption charges has taken a back seat. The motive behind this stone pelting is to bring opposition in poor light.
The Conspirators of this attack have done wrong to Mr Pawar. I don’t think from this attack Maha Vikas Aghadi can really take any advantage. Rather came as a big jolt. Pawar enjoys Z-Plus category security that the NCP’s Dilip Walse-Patil is the State Home Minister, the unprecedented storming of the NCP chief’s residence by the MSRTC employees is an intelligence and policy failure. How can the media reach the incident and the police are clueless? Were they asked to deliberately ignore the attack? Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut expressed discontent over the inability of the Mumbai police to stop the attack. The home department is with the NCP and senior leader, one of the most trusted aides of Mr Pawar, Dilip Walse-Patil, who is the home minister.
Police have checked the CCTV footage near Silver Oak to find out if anyone has conducted a recce of Pawar’s residence before the protest. If you see media coverage, the media was waiting for the attackers well in advance at the spot. There were live converges. I saw media cameras running behind the protests showing whatever was happening on the ground. Who must have informed the media?
The other angle of the story is that Advocate Gunaratan Sadavarte instigated the protestors by sending them misleading WhatsApp messages. Sadavarte was doing all this on the instructions of the opposition party. Gamdevi police arrested 110 protesters, including 23 women and advocate Sadavarte. At least 104 people were arrested from the Malabar Hill area immediately after the incident, whereas six others were arrested later in the night. 109 employees of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) were produced before the court. Their statements are recorded and most of them give shocking clues.
The police want to find the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Police officials said that investigators suspect that the attack on Pawar’s bungalow could be pre-planned as few individuals were spotted suspiciously moving in the area to recce Pawar’s residence two days before the incident. It captured their movement on CCTV cameras installed in the area. These individuals are yet to be identified.
The ruling Shiv Sena accused the BJP of “masterminding” the attack and claimed that there was a “sinister plan” to cause “physical harm” to Pawar and his family members. Sadavarte had made calls to Nagpur before the incident. He strategically worked on the timings of the attack, at that time Sadavarte engaged himself inside the court arguing some cases so that he can’t be suspected. Police are finding out whom he called at Nagpur to identify the persons behind the conspiracy. Several police officers were injured in the protests. The FIR is booked under sections 142 (being a member of unlawful assembly), 145 (joining or continuing in unlawful assembly, knowing it has been commanded to disperse), 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of the offence committed in prosecution of common object), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 333 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt to deter public servant from his duty) 334 (voluntarily causing hurt on provocation).
NCP Supremo Pawar has been the chief architect of Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of NCP, Congress and Shiv Sena which was formed in Nov 2019 to keep the BJP out of power. That has irked BJP a lot but plotting such attacks will not make any sense. Devendra Fadnavis has already given them a good run. He strategically exposed the corruption and levelled charges by giving enough tough time to Maha Vikas Aghadi ministers. Some of their ministers are already in jail; the others are on the verge of going to jail.
Some political pundits view these attacks as BJP’s hidden intentions to bring back the Shiv Sena alliance to their fold. After the Ajit Pawar episode, Devendra will never try with NCP. The Shiv Sena BJP alliance is old, that is the reason they hassle Shiv Sena leaders but none of them is sent to jail, whereas NCP leaders are already behind bars. BJP is still leaving some scope for mending their differences with Shiv Sena because coming to the power with no support is not possible for BJP. MNS is a dead horse; BJP cannot afford to ride on them.
Whatever is happening in Maharashtra is to create unrest and destabilise Maha Vikas Aghadi Government. There are hundreds of theories given across social media about the attack on Silver Oak, but one thing is sure, this attack was uncalled for.
An important step in the entire painting process, this base coat works as a foundation for flawless walls.
There’s always a question of time and one’s patience when house painting is concerned. When you hire professional painters, they will most likely recommend two coats of primer paint as a base coat under the emulsion paint. This might lead you to think is primer necessary?
The use of primer might seem like an extra step in the process, but it has huge benefits. You may search for the best wall primer, as it leads to a flawless paint job. It also protects the paint from wear and tear, helping you in the long run.
What is a Paint Primer?
Primer is an undercoat put on surfaces before painting. It looks like paint, with a higher concentration of solids together with an adhesive binder. There are many uses of primer, including providing a clean and smooth area for the paint to adhere to the surface. In many ways, it’s more of a sealant than actual paint.
There are various kinds of primers depending on the surface in question, and the inside wall paint that one wishes to use. For instance, Berger’s White Primer (WT) is good for masonry and asbestos surfaces. It is an interior primer. On the other hand, Berger’s Red Oxide Primer is best for ferrous metal surfaces.
What is Primer Paint Used For?
There can be many reasons why primer is used.
For a Stable Base Surface: Primer can cover imperfections in your wall, such as repairs or patches. It makes the surface uniform so that the paint sticks better, and is long-lasting.
Cover Stains: Primer paint helps cover up any stains on the wall, so they don’t bleed through the fresh coat of exterior paint. This also ensures that the job gets done in fewer coats of emulsion/distemper paint.
Makes The Colour Shine Through: Primer can neutralise the colour of the surface so that the colour of your paint shines through. It gives a superior and even finishes.
Provide Waterproofing: Many primers can help make your surfaces water-resistant. For instance, Berger Paints BP Exterior Cement Primer prevents water and dissolved salts from penetrating the surface by forming a water-resistant film. It increases the durability of the topcoat.
When in doubt about whether or not to use primer paint, always consider adding it to the process. Priming the walls will not hurt the results at all.
Now that you know what primer paint is used for, let’s understand the various circumstances that need this.
When to Use Primer Paint?
Primer paint is an essential step in certain projects. Here are some conditions when experts will need to apply primer.
If Your Wall is Porous
Too much paint will be drawn into the surface if it is too porous. Multiple coats of paint will be needed to get the desired look. A primer can help make the surface stable. For instance, if a porous surface like wood is being painted, a primer like Berger’s Parrot Wood Primer will come in handy. Masonry-like bricks and retaining wall blocks are porous and need a primer.
If Your Previous Coat is Glossy
The opposite can also pose an issue. If the surface is too glossy, the paint won’t be able to lock on it. So, if high-gloss paint or enamel is being repainted or if the wood panelling is shellacked, experts will first sand the surface and then apply a primer coat.
If You Want to Lighten a Shade
When you are switching from a dark colour to a lighter shade, the surface will need to be primed with a white primer. When you are going from a light to a darker shade, painting professionals will tint your primer. This makes the primer colour closer to the colour of the wall finish. It helps reduce the number of primer and colour coats you will require.
If the Surface is Damaged/ Stained or Has an Odour
Another reason to use primer paint is when your surface is stained or retains odour from cooking strong-smelling foods, fungal growth, and more. After sanding the surface, a high-quality primer will seal in and get rid of odours before the paint job.
Now that you know what is the meaning of primer, and what is it used for, you must be thinking about how to apply primer. The technique will depend on the product being used, which is why it’s important to consult professionals. They will help prep the surface and ensure the right dilution of the product depending on the site conditions. Expert painters will give you an estimate of how much primer you need.
When you choose Berger Express Painting services, you get certified experts who diligently follow covid-19 safety protocols. They ensure that your furniture and floors are covered, and the site is disinfected regularly.

Patra Chawl scam: ED says over 100 flats bought by proxies 7
In the Patra Chawl scam, the enforcement directorate has made new claims that the project has many proxies as owners. Proxies in the planned Meadows building booked over a hundred flats, the saleable component in the Patra chawl redevelopment project, suspects the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that is probing a money laundering case related to it.
The ED has issued a summons to those who booked the flats with Guru Ashish Construction, a subsidiary of housing firm HDIL, which was implementing the project. They found some addresses of the buyers to be fake. The ED believes the developer booked flats for powerful people under fake names after taking a nominal amount of token or with no payment instead of their help in simplifying the fraud.
A special court in Mumbai has taken cognizance of the chargesheet filed against investor Pravin Raut, said to be a close aide of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, and the promoters of a company called HDIL – Rakesh and Sarang Wadhawan. The court has issued a summons to the accused while the agency has said that it intends to continue with its probe and will file a supplementary chargesheet later.
The prosecution complaint also mentions another company called Avani Infrastructure, a partnership firm that constructed a building in Santacruz West. The ED states that Varsha and Pravin Raut are partners. According to the agency, Varsha Raut’s capital investment was Rs 5,525 and her share of profit was Rs 14 lakh, while Madhuri Raut’s investment was Rs 13.05 lakh and her share of profit was also Rs 14 lakh.
According to the prosecution complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) before the special court under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Rs 95 crore received in Pravin Raut’s bank accounts from real estate company HDIL between 2008-2010. According to the agency, Raut could not explain these transfers and the ED believes that these are proceeds of crime that pertained to a company called Guru Ashish Construction Pvt Ltd.
In 2005, an argument between society and developers arose because of the smaller area of flats given to the tenants. The society ended the agreement with the developer and went into various litigation. Thereafter, in 2006, Goregaon Siddharth Nagar Grah Nirman Sanstha appointed GuruAshish Construction Pvt Ltd as the developer to redevelop the 672 tenements. A tripartite agreement for joint development started on April 10, 2008, between MHADA and Sanstha for the redevelopment of the 672 tenements on the land belonging to MHADA.
Netta D’Souza unexpectedly caught Union Minister Smriti Irani on an IndiGo flight and fired a question about the rise in fuel prices. Ms D’Souza later tweeted the video where the minister was seen recording the encounter on her cell phone. Both the ladies did all that drama, forgetting the fact that flight is not the parliament. These days the biggest problem is that the ruling party leaders are not available to the people. They just give their virtual appearance or public appearance surrounded by battalions of security people. They are not approachable and that is the reason people don’t want to leave any opportunity to counter them.
In Maharashtra, they boil the entire politics down to the Hindu-Muslim spine. BJP alleging Shiv Sena of giving up Hindutva, Uddhav Thackeray always gives an explanation that he been committed to the “bhagva” (saffron) and Hindutva “unlike BJP which had different names like Bharatiya Jan Sangh and Jan Sangh which propagated different ideologies. BJP doesn’t hold “patent” on Hindutva It was late Sena chief Bal Thackeray had shown BJP that the combination of “saffron and Hindutva” will help in achieving power in Centre.
Joining virtually the campaign for Maha Vikas Aghadi’s (MVA) candidate Jayashree Jadhav, who belongs to Congress, for the April 12 by-poll from the Kolhapur North seat, Thackeray also blamed BJP for the defeat of the Shiv Sena nominee from the constituency in the 2019 polls despite the alliance between the two parties.
Andhra Pradesh is in another level of mess. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s new cabinet took an oath. Supporters of heavyweight leaders who were not included in the new team vented their frustration by protesting and sloganeering fouls. This time, four women, including former actress Roja, have taken oath as ministers. The supporters of two other former ministers are also on the warpath.
Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, a relative of the Chief Minister who was the first to trigger the rebellion on Sunday, has sent a message to the YSR Congress leadership that he would step down from his MLA post. Sources said he would meet the Chief Minister shortly. His supporters blocked roads in Ongole and parts of Prakasam district, demanding that he be re-inducted into the cabinet. Elected representatives of local bodies, including the Ongole Municipal Corporation, threatened to quit their posts.
While choosing his 25-member cabinet in June 2019, Jagan Mohan Reddy made it clear that they would have to make way for a new team midway through the 5-year term. This gave a chance to one-third of his 151 legislators to serve as ministers and keep them happy. Jagan Reddy had to do a balancing act, between political compulsions and social engineering, keeping 11 members of his original team and ensuring that 17 of the 25 ministers belong to the Scheduled Castes and Tribes, Backward Classes and other minority communities.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao set up a fresh confrontation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi just months after the central government’s climbdown on new agricultural laws, as he launched a sit-in protest in Delhi on Monday over a dispute involving the purchase of rice from farmers in his state. “If Modi has the guts, let him arrest me… With folded hands, I tell the PM and [Union Food Minister] Piyush Goyal. Please buy our food grains. I give you 24 hours, after that, we will take our decision,” said the leader who has been on the warpath with PM Modi for several months. Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders led by the Chief Minister launched a day-long dharna against the centre on Monday in the national capital, demanding procurement of 15 lakh tonnes of parboiled rice from the state. This will be the party’s first protest rally in Delhi after coming to power in Telangana in 2014 amid mounting pressure back home over buying the produce from farmers. The party MPs, MLAs, all cabinet ministers, and elected representatives of urban and rural local bodies sat on a dharna at the Telangana Bhawan in Delhi.
The TRS intensified its protest and called the Delhi demonstration after the central government allegedly refused Telangana’s request to buy parboiled rice in the current crop season. Ahead of the dharna, the TRS put up billboards and posters with the slogans ‘one nation-one procurement policy’ and ‘protect the interests of farmers’ erected in and around Telangana Bhawan.
In Maharashtra, Raut and Somaiya scuffle is still on. Sanjay Raut accused BJP leader Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil of absconding after being booked for allegedly siphoning off Rs 57 crore on the pretext of crowd-funding in 2013-14 to preserve India’s first aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. The Sena MP claimed that the duo may escape from the country and, hence, a lookout notice should be issued against them. Talking to reporters here, Raut also claimed that the father-son duo was outside Mumbai and Maharashtra and engaged in a “setting” to ensure they get anticipatory bail in the matter.
"Since when the aeroplane has become parliament?" asks netizens after the Indigo faceoff between D'Souza and Irani 10
On Sunday Netta D’Souza, All India Mahila Congress acting President and BJP’s Union Minister Smriti Irani were travelling by IndiGo’s Delhi-Guwahati flight. The moment D’Souza saw Irani on the flight; she fired questions on price rise at Mrs Irani. Other passengers on the flight were simply amused to see two high-profile ladies pulling each other.
Later on, D’Souza posted a short video of the incident on Twitter where she asks Women and Child Development Minister Irani about the rising prices of cooking gas and petrol. The video was hilarious because both the ladies were walking with their baggage in one hand and on the other hand, they were shooting each other.
The minister was sitting in the first row of the plane and D’Souza in the back row. While deplaning, she called the minister’s name and asked her a question. All the passengers, passengers who were supposed to deplane, stood blacking each other’s way to hear the amusing conversation. Irani, while walking on the aerobridge towards the terminal, was heard telling the Congress leader than 80 crore people in India are getting free food grains for the last 27 months.
“It will be lovely if I am not accosted,” she says, to which D’Souza says “no one is being accosted”. The Congress leader then tells Irani that she is a minister to which the latter replies, ”I am answering ma’am”, and speaks about free COVID-19 vaccination.
Faced Modi Minister @smritiirani ji, enroute to Guwahati.
When asked about Unbearable Rising Prices of LPG, she blamed Vaccines, Raashan & even the poor!
Do watch the video excerpts, on how she reacted to common people's misery ! ? pic.twitter.com/NbkW2LgxOL
Some parts of the conversation in the video are not audible. IndiGo spokesperson told PTI, “We are aware of the matter on flight 6E262 DEL-GAU on 10 April 2022 and it is currently under investigation. We would like to confirm no IndiGo employees were involved in this matter.”
The airline had banned comedian Kunal Kamra for six months after he had heckled Arnab Goswami, the editor of Republic TV, on IndiGo’s Mumbai-Lucknow flight on January 28, 2020.
Imran Khan resigns from National Assembly, says will not sit with 'thieves' 12
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan decided to tender his resignation as a member of the National Assembly ahead of the election for the new prime minister of Pakistan. This development comes after Imran Khan said that he will not sit in the assemblies with ‘thieves’.
“The man who has 16 billion and 8 billion rupees of corruption cases, whoever selects and elects the Prime Minister cannot be a big insult to the country. We are resigning from the National Assembly,” Imran Khan was quoted as saying by PTI’s official Twitter account.
Confirming the decision, Pakistan’s former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said that sitting in the assembly would strengthen the Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif and therefore it has been decided to submit their resignation from the National Assembly. “Imran Khan supported my suggestion during the parliamentary party meeting,” he said and added that Khan would visit Peshawar on Wednesday. “Imran Khan will give a call to people every Sunday to come out against the foreign conspiracy,” Rasheed said.
PTI Member of National Assembly (MNA) Murad Saeed was the first member of the party who submitted his resignation to the Speaker of the National Assembly, as per ARY News. Earlier in the day, the PTI held a parliamentary party meeting at the Parliament House in Islamabad, reported Radio Pakistan. The meeting was chaired by Imran Khan.
The Pakistani Parliament is going to elect the country’s new Prime Minister today after Khan was ousted after a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly. The voting on the no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was held in the country’s National Assembly late on Saturday night, with 174 members recording their votes in favour of the motion that ousted the Imran Khan government.
Who orchestrated the protest at Pawar's house? DCP shunted after Silver Oak stir 14
After MSRTC workers’ protest at Sharad Pawar’s residence, Silver Oak, two police officers, deputy commissioner of police Yogesh Kumar and senior inspector of Gamdevi police station R J Rajbhar are transferred. The residence falls in the jurisdiction of Gamdevi police station. Kumar was holding the additional charge of the zone. DCP crime branch Neelotpal, a 2014 batch IPS officer, has been appointed the zonal DCP.
A senior police officer told Afternoon Voice under the condition of anonymity, “Most of the police and government officers are loyal to BJP, they enjoy a good rapport with BJP and Devendra because BJP is ruling in the centre. When UPA was in power, the cops were loyal to the NCP and Congress government. Whatever is happening now, cops are mute spectators to favour BJP.”
Opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP slammed the Mumbai police for their lapse that led to the MSRTC workers’ violent protest outside the residence of NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday. Fadnavis said that the incident showed a failure by the police and the intelligence agencies. He demanded an investigation into the entire episode. “The entire media received messages and was at Sharad Pawar’s residence by 2.30 pm. How is it that the police had no inkling of it?” he asked. Fadnavis was speaking to media persons in North Kolhapur on Saturday, where he was campaigning for the party’s assembly by the poll candidate.
A TV journalist said, “I wonder how the media reached there to cover the incident if this was not well-planned. Media cameras were covering the incident live by talking to the protestors. This entire episode is plotted and the government should find out the culprit.”
CBI refutes reports claiming FBI team in India to probe 'bitcoin scam' 16
The CBI on Sunday refuted reports that a team of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was in India to probe the alleged bitcoin case being investigated by the Karnataka Police, and termed the statements ”speculative” and ”without any basis”.
In a statement, the central agency said the FBI has not sent any team to India to conduct a probe in the matter nor has any request been made by the US probe agency to the CBI for conducting an investigation in this case.
”Accordingly, the question of according any permission for the probe by Competent Authority in India does not arise. CBI as the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India coordinates closely with international law enforcement agencies including FBI,” Central Bureau of Investigation spokesperson RC Joshi said.
The statement comes after Congress on Friday asked whether the FBI is in India to investigate an alleged ”Bitcoin scam” which the party had accused the BJP government in Karnataka of covering up last year.
Later, senior officials added that the statements and reports claiming the presence of the FBI team to probe the case are ”speculative, without any basis” and issued with a ”malafide intent”. In a tweet, Congress MLA from Chittarpur Priyank Kharge had said he believed the ”FBI is in Delhi to investigate the billion-dollars” Bitcoin scam.
”Like i said before, if the state investigates the matter diligently, a lot of BJP’s skeletons will tumble out,” he had said.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surajewala had also tweeted, saying, ”The layers of #BitcoinScam are finally being unearthed!” He had asked several questions related to the alleged scam, including whether the FBI was in India to investigate India’s biggest Bitcoin Scam Coverup under Karnataka BJP Govt? He had also asked the government to release details of the investigation and suspects, including political people.”
Accusing the Congress of playing politics on the alleged bitcoin scam issue, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had last year asked the opposition party to give documents, if any, to investigating agencies.
Pakistan's top law officers resign post-Imran Khan's ouster 18
Following former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s loss in the no-confidence motion in National Assembly, Attorney General (AG) Khalid Jawed Khan and Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Raja Khalid Mehmood Khan announced their resignation.
“I have served as the Attorney General for Pakistan since February 2020. For this honour and privilege, I remain profoundly grateful to Prime Minister Imran Khan,” The Tribune Express quoted Khalid Jawed Khan as saying.
“I have tried to serve the country to the best of my ability and conscience. I now deem it appropriate to tender my resignation,” Khan added. While talking to a local media outlet, Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Raja said that the Constitution has been violated and he could no longer defend the government.
He further stated that the no-confidence motion was dealt with in an unconstitutional manner which led to the constitutional crisis in-country, The Tribune Express reported. Earlier, Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser and Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri also tendered their resignations before the voting on no-confidence began.
Meanwhile, the vote finally took place in the National Assembly past midnight with 174 members voting in favour of the motion in the 342-member House. During the vote, members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were not present. Now, the National Assembly will vote on April 11 (Monday) to elect a new Prime Minister.
The Dawn newspaper said citing the presiding officer of the National Assembly, Ayaz Sadiq said that the nomination papers for the new prime minister may be submitted by 2 pm today (Sunday) and scrutiny would be done by 3 pm. He summoned the session on Monday at 11 am and said the new premier would be elected then.
