High Profile Prisoner of India - Kasab

Rs 16 cr spent on Kasab in 3 years


Every Terrorist might be dreaming of attacking India and get caught by police after seeing Kasab's lifestyle. The terrorists might use Kasab's name to say that " Look this is what you get if you attack India ". Read the below report and even you will say the same. 


Our Finance minister say it take time to control the inflation. But couldn't they control  it by using the money used for Kasab. That too a terrorist who had attacked India and I don't understand why is Govt still spending on Kasab. 


Don't you think there is some fishy going inside ? Are the officials eating up the money of the people? 


Report:
The clamour for speedily sending him to the gallows notwithstanding, a staggering Rs 16 crore has been shelled out for protecting the country's most high- profile prisoner Ajmal Kasab. 

Sentenced to death by the special anti-terror court, Kasab, in his mid-20s, is lodged in a special cell in Arthur Road jail, the construction of which alone cost the state exchequer over Rs 5.24 crore. 

"Besides Rs 5.24 crore that was spent on constructing the special cell at the Arthur Road prison, Rs 26,953 was spent on taking care of his medical needs," state Home Secretary Medha Gadgil told.
 

A whopping Rs 10.87 crore was spent between March 28, 2009 and September 30, 2010 for providing him security cover by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), she said. 

However, after the state government received the bill for Rs 10.87 crore to be paid towards deployment of ITBP, it wrote to the Centre expressing its inability to make the payment, saying Kasab's security was not Maharashtra's concern alone. 

"The state government had written to the Centre asking it to consider waiving the amount. We have not received any communication so far. The issue remains unresolved," she said. 

Gadgil said the expenditure does not include the legal fees for the court case. 

However, contrary to claims in the media by those demanding Kasab's hanging without any further delay that the Pakistani terrorist was being fed delicacies like biryani, Gadgil said a modest Rs 27 per day was spent on providing him food. 


So now what do you say on what the Govt is doing? Is this valid to spend the money on a terrorist not even a small amount its in Crore.

Petrol prices hiked by another Rs 1.80 per litre



In yet another fuel price hike, oil companies on Wednesday raised the price of petrol by Rs 1.80 per litre to be effective midnight. This is the fifth hike since December 2010.

Following Wednesday hiked, petrol price in Delhi will cost Rs 68.64 a litre while it will cost 73.74 in Mumbai, Rs 72.64 in Chennai and Rs 73.10 in Kolkata including local taxes.

India Oil was the first to hike petrol prices while other companies are also expected to follow soon.

According to reports, Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum are losing Rs 333 crore per day on selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene below cost. They lose Rs 9.27 per litre on diesel, Rs 26.94 per litre on kerosene sold through the public distribution system (PDS) and Rs 260.50 per 14.2-kg LPG cylinder supplied to domestic households for cooking purposes.

Following this loss, the price of LPG and diesel are also expected to be hiked soon.

It is notable that this hike comes in times when the country is faced with high food inflation hitting the double digit of 12.21 percent for the week ended October 22, a situation described by the Finance Minister as “dangerously” high.

Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum had earlier hiked petrol prices by Rs 3.14 a litre on September 16 when the rupee was ruling at about 48 to a US dollar.

The government had in June last year deregulated, or freed, petrol from all price controls, but the retail rates have not moved in line with the cost as high inflation forced the oil companies to seek "advice" from the parent Oil Ministry before revising rates.
