Last five years have been really significant for real estate markets in Patna. Although, the city has not seen any significant change barring construction and reconstruction of roads by the State Government. Despite of all the positive reports by the print media the fact is that this city is more of a heaven for illegal village migrants, encroachers and criminals. If you want to buy real estate in your name there are very few places where you can get legitimate papers for your purchase. Most of the properties are not registered with the municipality.
In the heart of the city, places like Boring Road, Exhibition Road and Gandhi Maidan boast rate of Rs. 3000 per sq. ft. to Rs. 5000 per ft... So if you plan to buy property in these areas you will have to get poorer by Rs. 50 lakh for a one thousand sq. ft. flat. Even the areas like Kankarbagh, Bhootnath Road, Rajendra Nagar are also having rates of Rs. 2200 to Rs. 3500 per sq. ft.
If you are a legitimate citizen and want to continue abiding with the law then it is really tough to get the right bargain for your new property in Patna. However, for those who, are shameless and love to flout the law there is ample opportunity in the city. According to popular perception at least half of residential plots that came into existence after 1980 are illegal. Most of these colonies are built on government land Some of the prominent residential areas are in Rajiv Nagar, Bahadurpur Housing Colony, Nalanda Medical College Hospital etc. Houses located in these areas are not having any holding number of municipality.
The biggest example of shameless encroachment exist in the flats of Bahadurpur Housing Colony where almost 95 percent flats have been captured by illegal occupants who haven’t paid a single penny for the flats of HIG, MIG, LIG. The prevalent rate of flats in this area is Rs. 2000 to Rs. 2800 per sq. ft. The present government claims that law and order has improved in last five years but the way these people are illegally living in the government property it doesn’t appear that the law and order has improved in the state. Ironically, there are more than 6000 flats in Bahadurpur Housing Colony but the number of people who paid any money for the flat is not even one thousand. Even out of these one thousand only 25 percent have made full payment for the property.
If you want to get property in Patna you need to use your mind otherwise your hard earned money would be wasted. If you want to have peaceful life at your own home then this city is not the right place as the basic infrastructure has crumbled. Thanks to the short sighted approach of the present government we have got roads which are getting narrower as new footpaths have been built around these roads. Power supply is in absolute shambles and I have no hesitation in claiming that it was much better during the Laloo- Rabri regime. The strategic reporting by print media may make you feel that crime has come down. But if you want to know the status of crime in the state then do concentrate in the internal pages rather than front page. Incidents of Kidnapping, murder and ransom which were published on front page are not covered by the newspapers who have got ample payment from the present government.

Bihar Police Naxal Operation
Naxalites are the biggest menace in the country but don't make a bugbear out of them. Most of these naxals are physically weak, less educated and they have little spirit of fighting against the Indian security forces. But the question is how come they are still existing on the Indian territory. Our forces who have dismantled and defeated hiedeous incursions of Pakistan supported terrorists, emaciated Khalistanis of Sikh terrorism are finding themselves helpless against the least competent fighters (read naxals). What could be the reason?
The reason is obvious and it doesn't require heavy statistical calculation to find. It is the leadership of senior officers which is highly deficient. The success of security forces regarding which we are proud happened under the able leadership of army officers or officers of IPS cadre who joined the services in fifties or sixties. But the failure that was recently more than obvious in the operation of Bihar Police in Lakhisarai happened under the incompetent and coward leadership of Indian Police Officers who are selected through civil services exam.
Frankly speaking nowadays this exam facilitates the entry of shrewd scholars who cram day and night to enter the coveted services. Most of these new age IPS officers would fail to pass the Service Selection Board interviews of NDA, CDS or any other recruitment exam of officers in Indian defence forces. History is testimony to the fact that the quality of brinkmanship required in the officers working in the internal security and border security is same. Then why we are having such kind of contrast in selection process.
Jawans (Personels) of Bihar Police who somehow survived the ordeal of Naxal attack in Lakhisarai were so much dissatisfied with the leadership of SP, their senior officer that they tried to manhandle him. This is not a single example but there are many such incidents that happened in recent past. If the government doesn't change the quality of Indian Police Service offcers, many ugly incident might taint the internal administration of the Republic of India.

Death in CRPF Training Camp
Torture is training , it may sound like phrase from ancient world but the truth is that the same practice continues here in India. According to news release from Allahabad, in one of the most horrid incidents in training camps of paramilitary personals, two new recruits of CRPF lost their life and several others are hospitalized after a training exercise. These Jawans were compelled by their trainers to run in scorching heat The training exercise required to cover distance of 16 Kms in stipulated time. India has got the notorious history of people putting their life at stake for low level jobs and once again the same history was repeated when several new recruits kept running to save their jobs. The question is what sort of society we are living in where people are willing to lose their life to stay in job. Another, question is how come you expect these CRPF jawans to become sensitive to human rights of others when they themselves are under tremendous pressure from their family members and superiors.

Rakhi Ka Insaaf - NDTV Imagine

Rakhi Sawant is known as drama queen and she knows how to be in public eye by giving baseless statements and mocking in the public. The first show that became popular on NDTV Imagine was “Rakhi ka Swayamvar”. That show was able to attract viewers from all spheres of life, as it was for the first time in modern India that someone was going to select her life partner in front of the television viewers. At last, somehow the show ended with engagement with Elesh, one of the participants of this show. As a couple Rakhi and Elesh again participated in another Reality show of NDTV Imagine “Pati , Patni aur Woh” . Once again the show was a great hit. However, by the end of the show it was obvious that Elesh and Rakhi were no longer a couple. NDTV Imagine came with few other reality shows like “Deshi Girls” but it was not able to attract viewers as “Pati, Patni aur Woh” did. So again NDTV Imagine is ready to cash on Rakhi Sawant with its new Reality Show “ Rakhi Ka Insaaf”. In this show Rakhi will listen the real life problem of public who are invited in the show and will give her advice and suggestions for solving those problems. NDTV Imagine creative team believes that Rakhi is a bold and brave girl who have struggled in her life and reached to this level. Rakhi herself has boasted about the stories of her struggle, although most of her claims are nothing but exaggeration and she is better known for her skills in creating controversies and media sensations.
Television viewers follow reality shows but no one can guess if they watch the programmes out of hatred or love. The way NDTV Imagine is promoting Rakhi Sawant its nothing but baffling. Rakhi Sawant has hunger of media attention and easy money while NDTV Imagine wants high TRP, so both are complementing each other for their selfish needs. Don’t forget that same type of programme has been successfully hosted by Kiran Bedi on Star Tv. This shameless prototype presentation falls in the category of creative plagiarism
