PASSAGE OF CONSUMER PROTECTION BILL, 2018 IN RAJYA SABHA.


Some facts with regards to the passage of Consumer Protection Bill, 2018 by your Government have been brought to the notice of the Prime Minister, Government of India, His Cabinet colleagues, Members of Rajya Sabha, leaders of the opposition including of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Gulam Navi Azad , M.Khadge etc. etc.  . It has been  stated that during the year 2011, a Consumer Protection Bill, to amend the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, was introduced in the Lok Sabha. However, the said Bill lapsed with the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha. 
             Thereafter, the Consumer Protection Bill, 2015 was introduced in the Lok Sabha by Shri Ram Vilas Paswan, Hon'ble Minister for Food, Civil Supplies and  Consumer Affairs, on 10.08.2015, to replace the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Bill introduced various new provisions drastically for the welfare of the consumers and for taking stern action against the violators of consumer laws in India .  The Bill was examined by the Standing Committee on Consumer Affairs, which submitted its report in April, 2016. The Consumer Protection Bill, 2018, was introduced on 05.01.2018, to replace the Consumer Protection Bill, 2015. but could not passed. 
             On the historic day, i.e. 20.12.2018, the Lok Sabha passed the Consumer Protection Bill, 2018, which seeks to replace the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Consumer Protection Bill contains key provisions dealing with class action, product liability, misleading advertisements etc. etc. The Bill also addresses new age developments like e-commerce, direct selling, tele marketing etc. etc. The Bill is also expected to address all existing concerns being faced by Indian  consumers. 
             The Consumer Protection Bill, 2018, will now be taken up for debate and subsequent passage in the Rajya Sabha. However, the Bill was listed for debate in the business of 07.01.2019 and 08.01.2019, in the Rajya Sabha, but could not be taken up for consideration and passage, though the consumers in India  were expecting its passage. Now the Government of India is requested that it has recently got passed 10% reservation of Bill to the Economically weak section of Society, on basis of getting it passed, the Consumer Protection Bill, 2018 may also be got passed. 
             If the Bill sees the light of the day in the Rajya Sabha in the ensuing Budget Sessions, consumer laws in India will change drastically to give powers to the consumers to fight for their legitimate cause in the Consumer Forums / Consumer courts speedily and economically  and it will give more power to Indian consumers/ customers. 
             Consumer Protection Bill is hanging  fire since 2011, therefore,  we request all the  political parties  /honourable Members of Rajya Sabha to pass the Bill in the ensuing Budget Session commencing from 31.01.2019. We also request the Government to take initiative steps for its passage in the Rajya Sabha for the reason that this will be a final and last Session of the present Government.
It is also pointed out that the NDA Government headed by B.J.P. in the centre took strong initiative with regards to the passage of 10% reservation to the General Categories and got it passed in the Rajya Sabha. Why not this Consumer Protection Bill, 2018 could not be got passed by the strong political will by the Central Government. It may kindly be noted by all parties that if the Consumer Protection Bill , 2018 is opposed by any of the political party, it has to bear the consequencies in the forthcoming Lok Sabha Elections for cheating the consumer of India. The consumers and the Consumer Organizations throughout India will not hesitate to start agitation against a particular political party who opposes the Consumer Protection Bill, 2018 and any hindrance in the passage of the Bill.   
             If, any political  party, will cause hindrance in the Rajya Sabha or cause obstruction in passing the Consumer Protection Bill, 2018, it will face natural consequences in the coming Lok Sabha election 2019.

The announcement and subsiquent notifying the tunnel Betbeen Bilaspur and Markand, and construction of Berri Dadolan Bridge, and now announcement of setting up of Hydro Engineering College at Bandla Bilaspur , Setting of AIIMS, are the great achievements of the present central Government for Bilaspur District, which remained quite backward since its Indepance. However, for attraction of tourists at Bilaspur , it is very important to have a Artificial Lake at Bilaspur H.P. Another important demand is to have INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT at Sukkar Valley. There is thousands of Acre vacant land at the boundry of Badsar and Ghujmarwin Tehsils and very suitable for the construction of INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, AT THIS SITE. This land is right from JHORE GHAAT to GHORI DHABIRI , BETWEEN dAKHIORA, HOLET, MAHARAL , BADAGRAM, GHODI, DHABIRI IN BADSAR TEHSIL IN HAMIRPUR DISTRICT AND PANYALA, DHALOW , GALLIAN, KARLOTI, MACHHWAN, UNI, IN TEHSIL GHUMARWIN , DISTRICT BILASPUR H.P. IT IS ALSO MENTIONED HERE THAT THE PROPOSAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AT KANDAGHAR , DISTRICT SOLAN AND EXPENDING OF GAGAL AIRPORT IN KANGRA, THE AIRPORT AUTHORITIES AFTER VISITING THESE SITES HAVE REJECTED . IF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DIRECTS THE AIR PORT AUTHORITY, TO HAVE SUBEY OF THIS PROPOSED SITE, IT IS QUITE SUITABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIREPORT . THIS MAY ALSO BE MENTIONED HERE THAT THIS SITE IS IN THE HEART OF THE HIMACHAL PRADESH AND IT DESERVES TO BE CONSIDERED SYMPETHATICALLY.

                   In the budget for the year 2016-17, the dreams of Himachal Pradesh in respect of construction of Railway lines have been defeated . The people of Himachal Pradesh being a peaceful State, are suffering for their peacefulness as no name of the State has ever been figured in the main budget news for the last 69 years of independence in Railway Budget. The only publicity is done when elections are to be held and thereafter every announcement remained in papers in the Government of India Railway Department.
              Not on this in respect of Railways, there is no any big domestic as also International Airport in Himachal Pradesh. The proposal for the construction of International Airport at Kandaghat , in District Solan, has since been rejected by the Central Committee as no sufficient land is available for the purpose and there are other problems also.
                I have several times brought it to the notice of the authorities of Himachal Pradesh Government as also to the notice of  Government of India  , even to the Prime Minister of India that there is a idle and sufficient land available for the construction of International Airport, at the Boundary Bilaspur ( Tehsil Ghumarwin ) District H.P. and Hamirput ( Tehsil Badsar ), District H.P. at SUKKAR GHATI , right from Jhorghat to Ghori Dhabiri .
                 Now it is upto the Government of India that both the projects such a Railways and International Airport should be sanctioned at the earliest possible.

OVER ALL CORRUPTION The news being appeared in electronic and print media with regards to the over all corruption is quite dangerous for the country. The role of Lalit Modi Ex-Commissioner, BCCI, Sushma Swaraj ,Foreign Minister of Government of India, Vijai Raje Sindhya, Chief Minister, Rajsthan and Shiv Raj Chauhan, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh are doubtful and they are involved in huge corruption charges in the country . The NDA Government headed by the B.J.P. in the center is helping all such elements who are involved in such anti social activities and playing with the fate of the country. In retaliation, the B.J.P. is trying to involved some of the Chief Ministers of the States headed by Congress Chief Ministers in their very old cases. The People of India are quite aware about every acts, de-acts, omissions and commissions being done deliberately by the P.M. Mondi Government in the center. The people of the country is being put under heavy loss for not doing any business in the Parliament for the last one week. The Ministers in the center, Chief Ministers in the States who are involved in the corruption charges must de-met their offices forthwith and face C.B.I. Inquiries . If they found clean after the inquiry or by the competent courts, they can again resume their offices . The people of India has lost faith upon such tented Ministers in the center and Chief Minsters of their respective States. As far as " a letter Bomb " by Sh. Shanta Kumar a Senior B.J.P. Leader , Former Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh and sitting Member Parliament, to Mr. Amit Shah, National President, B.J.P. is concerned, it is observed that he has written the truth but as regards to his own conduct during his political life, it is also doubtful as the people of Himachal Pradesh knows that what he was before entering into the politics and what he is now. The assets and properties held by him after he has joined the politics, is also a matter of C.B.I. inquiry to give him a clean chit about his honesty and integrity upon the charges leveled against him by a Senior B.J.P. Leader from Punjab Mr. Kalia. Accordingly, when Mr. Prem Kumar Dhumal remained as the Chief Minister, of Himachal Pradesh, allegations have been raised that he had purchased 31 lands in his or his sons names in the country. Thus every such leaders who so ever in the congress or in the B.J.P. who ruled the state are all tented and are involved in corruption . No body could be believed to be honest and the public money being graved by all on one pretext or the other. To which directions , such politicians in power are selling the country and its people for their own interests. Sita Ram Dhiman, B.S.P. Senior Leader, H.P., Social and R.T.I. Activist

The disaster "Earthquake"  in Napal and in some part of India such as in Bihar, Utter Pradesh and some other parts West Bangal etc. is shocking. The Mightily God is anger y with the people of universe as they have forgotten the almighty God. Due to this fact, such type of Earthquake are coming in different parts of the world time and again.
