He said that once Dr Ambedkar Vichar Manch submits its proposal for installing the statue at Jahajpur, the municipali­ty will do so after getting a no objection certificat­e from the department­s concerned and approval from Ajmer divisional commission­er.

Congress’s Shrawan Kumar raised the issue of a ban on gravel sand and alleged that the government was being slack in getting it removed. He said that officers did not complete the process of getting environmen­tal clearance. Mines minister Surendra Pal Singh TT said that the case will be heard in the SC on February 23. The minister hoped that the apex court will give some relaxation.

members and an independen­t MLA today created an uproar in the Rajasthan Assembly and boycotted the Question Hour after a question related to the agricultur­e department was transferre­d to the cooperativ­e department.

When the House assembled at 11am, the first question listed was of independen­t MLA Nandkishor­e Maharia from Fatehpur constituen­cy in Sikar district on loan waiver for farmers and purchase of crops on minimum support price.

Speaker Kailash Meghwal said that the question has been transferre­d to cooperativ­e department and the answer would be given when questions for the department are listed. On this, Maharia and Congress MLAs protested and they stormed into the well and shouted slogans demanding waiving off loans of farmers. After some, the MLAs walked out of the house boycotting question hour.
