Amendments 73 and 74 to Constitution of India

IAS Bureaucracy.

and other welfare Societies etc are still based on 1860 Act as
amended but not implemented.

but pay nearly 50% of the amount. Thus Corrupt teachers/Professors/
management etc are running the schools/colleges.

closing their eyes to save their IAS colleague in LBSNAA.

Group.

government!
• Delhi High Court sought a reply from the central government on a
petition alleging that some telecom operators gained a back-door
entry into the 3G arena, causing a loss of around Rs.20,000 crore to
the exchequer.

employees! This seem to be scam by operators via illegal entries to
un-licensed area!
• The petitioner alleged that the telecom operators entered into a
criminal conspiracy to cheat the government and defraud it of huge
revenue.
• But question is, do ministers know this? Did they deliberately ignore
the violation (if any)
• "The DOT is keeping silent on the violations of licence conditions
and on loss of more than Rs.20,000 crore to the national exchequer.
Despite the representations, no response was received from the
DoT and the TRAI,"

hai and jo tera hian vo mera hian. The question is
who are these zaroori friends – are they only
Vodafone and Idea, or does the friendship extend
much further?

for 9, Airtel for 13 and Idea for 9. Against the total
license fee of Rs. 16,750.6 crore, Vodafone has paid
Rs. 11,617.9 crore, Airtel 12,295.5 crore and Idea

(is to the tune) of Rs 70,000 crore, 2G scam is Rs 1.76 lakh
crore. But, now the new coal scam is Rs 10.67 lakh crore. It is
a government of scams... from airways to mining everywhere
the government is involved in scams."
• He said, "In 2006, the government introduced the Bill for
auction of coal blocks...But the government did not pass the
Bill till 2010. 17 billion tonnes of coal reserve in 73 blocks
were distributed to private companies. It is a huge scam. There
are many cases where people have sold the licences."

problem.
