11/14/2009

A local court ordered a probe into a complaint against Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi about alleged irregularities in Rs 8 crore scam concerning purchase of medicines for cattle.

The probe was ordered in 2008 when he was minister-in-charge of the Animal Husbandry Department.

Special Vigilance Judge Ajit Kant Sahay ordered the SP (vigilance) of Patna to probe the alleged irregularities committed in purchase of medicines for cattle when Mr Modi was in-charge of Animal Husbandry Ministry and submit the report by December 21.

Altogether 12 people, including Mr Modi, were facing the charge of irregularities committed in the purchase of medicines.

The order was passed by the special vigilance department in a case filed by an advocate S K Ojha.

$ 25 billion investment underway in SEZs: Commerce Secretary at the WTO Trade Policy Rewview In the 15 months since the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Act and Rules were notified on 10th February 2006, investments of the order of $ 8 billion have already been made and another $25 billion investment is underway. This was indicated in the reply on behalf of India by Shri G.K. Pillai, Commerce Secretary, at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Trade Policy Review Meeting for India in Geneva today. "As far as SEZs are concerned, I think the WTO Secretariat was a little premature in expressing doubt about their effectiveness in boosting both investment and employment So far, over 31000 people have got direct employment and this is expected to rise to 100,000 by the end of this calendar year and to 4 million by the end of 2010. The large number of textile, gems and leather SEZs being established would provide employment for a less skilled labour force", he said, allaying WTO doubts expressed in the WTO Secretariat report on this score.	25 May 2007
