Jan Lokpall Bill
Jan Lokpall Bill !!!!!
What is the Jan Lokpall Bill..? Why it is Important?Anna Hazare, he is the first man who started to fight against corruption,
to bring a strong jan lokpall bill in the parliament. But any one knows what
is Jan Lokpall Bill..?
Jan Lokapall Bill is a draft anti corruption bill drawn up by prominent
Civil society activist seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpall, an Independent
body that would investigate corruption cases complete a investigation within a year
and gets over in the next one year.
Drafted by justice santosh hegde, Prashanth bhushan and Arvind kejriwal.
The draft bill is a system where any person found guilty would go to jail within two
years within a complaint made and his ill-gotten wealth being confiscated..
Retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi, and ther known people like Swami Agnivesh,
Shri Shri Ravi Shankar, Anna Hazare, Mallika Sarabhai are also the part of the movement
to pass strong Jan Lokpall Bill. We feel that if these Bill is passed there would create
an effective deterrance against CORRUPTION.
Anna Hazare, anti corruption crusader went on a fast to death, till the
bill is not pass in the parliament. The government agreed to set up a joint commettee
with an equal number of members From the government and civil
society to draft the Lokpall Bill together. The two sides met several times
but could not agree on fundamentals element like including PM under the purview of
Lokpall. Eventually both sides drafted their own version of BILL.
Anna hazare declared that he would start another fast in delhi on auguest 16.
Hours before he would begin his hunger strike police arrested ANNA hazare.
Salient Features Of Jan Lokpall Bill
1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up
3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.
5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.
6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.
7. But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.
8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.
9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
10. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.
Why Lokpal needed..?
There are lots of corruption activities all over the country, only few of them got revealed. CBI is there but it works under the wings of Central
Government, so it is not possible to expect action against a central minister in name of corruption or any other illegal activity. Action against
them would happen very rarely. If Lokpal is proposed, it is an independent body, it allows to take action against corruption on any politician,
even though the individual holding a portfolio in the cabinet.

This information is useful.......
Have U ever heard abou...t LPG cylinder's expiry date....!!
Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders? Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. In this regard, please be cautious at the time of accepting any LPG cylinder from the vendor.
Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:
On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as follows A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06.
The alphabets stand for quarters -
1. A for March (First Qtr),
2. B for June (Second Qtr),
3. C for Sept (Third Qtr),
4. D for December (Fourth Qtr).
The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.
Please Return Back the Cylinder that you get with a Expiry Date, they are prone to Leak and other Hazardous accidents...
The second example with D13 allows the cylinder
to be in use Up to Dec 2013.
Kindly pass this on,
for creating awareness

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th, 2012!
Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March of 2012. Managing the site has become too stressful.
“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th of next year, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts. That gives users (and Facebook addicts) a year to adjust to life without Facebook.
“After March 15th, 2012 the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back after Facebook goes out of business.”
Zuckerberg said the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.
“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”
Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.
“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”
However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.
“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”
