AHMEDABAD: Installation charges for utility lines - whether overhead or undeground - will see a steep increase as the apex planning body of the city, the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (Auda), has resolved to charge as much as 15 times the jantri rates for land on which electric poles or towers are installed. Earlier, Auda had no policy to charge utility companies for cables. For this, it examined the policies of Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). Auda's policy was finalized by its land disposable and price fixing committee. In Ahmedabad city and Auda areas, market prices of commercial plots were found to be between 5.33 and 22.72 times higher than the 2011 jantri rates. The Auda board resolved on January 7 that a one-time licence fee of Rs 100 per metre for overhead and underground high tension cables and Rs 50 per metre for LT cables would be charged. AUDA stated in the proposal that GIDC's policy is that if a power company needs underground cable passage or installing of poles or towers over GIDC land, it was charged 10% of distribution charges, for a period of 10 years. After that, Right of Use (ROU) charges are 10% for every subsequent year. If the cable passes through saleable GIDC land, it is charged 100% of the jantri rate for the area that it utilizes. In AMC areas, Getco and other power companies are charged a one-time licence fee of Rs 100 per running metre for high-tension and overhead cables, and Rs 50 per running metre for low-tension cable. "Auda earlier had a policy for telecom companies installing cables below footpaths, dividers and junctions, and a one-time charge that was 40 per cent of jantri rate was charged, but ownership of the land remained that of the authority," said a senior Auda official.

KOCHI: The screening of ‘India: The Modi Question’, the controversial BBC documentary on 2002 Gujarat riots, organised by the students of Government Law College, Ernakulam on Wednesday was allegedly hindered by the college authorities by interrupting the power supply on the campus. Students’ Federation of India (SFI) and Kerala Students Union (KSU) activists alleged that the main fuse of the electricity network on the campus was unplugged at the direction of the college principal.However, the college authorities defended their action by stating that an argument between the two students’ outfits over using the college’s sound and projection systems forced them to disconnect the power for some time. Eventually, power was restored and both the outfits screened the documentary.KSU state president Aloshious Xavier said that the principal initially objected to using the college’s speakers when the KSU college unit was about to screen the documentary. “She later snapped the power. However, the KSU screened the two parts of the documentary once the power was restored,” he said.The SFI-led college union also alleged that the principal was against the screening. “She said that the documentary could not be screened and later removed the power fuse. However, when the students started protesting, the supply was restored,” said Favas PP, college union chairman.Meanwhile, Principal Bindu M Nambiar refuted the allegations. She said that at first SFI opposed when the KSU workers tried to use the college’s speaker. Later, when SFI used the college projector for their screening, KSU opposed it. So, the college authorities decided that none of them could use college properties for the screening and snapped the power. It was later restored after both outfits came to an agreement, she said.
