BMC takes note of malpractice at 3 uid centres
Taking note of malpractices at three UID enrollment centres in the city, the BMC has asked the respective companies to blacklist their operators in these centres.
The three centres are in Govandi, Walkeshwar and Kandivali. Prachi Jambhekar, assistant commissioner, planning, said, “The civic body had received complaints of irregularities at these centres and we had asked the ward officials to look into the matter. It was found that they were demanding money to provide UID cards at these centres.” Accordingly, the civic body suggested to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) that the operators should be blacklisted. This would ensure these operators would not be able to take up the data enrollment job anywhere.

Mumbai, April 19
The Malvani police on Friday arrested a 27-year-old domestic help, who had allegedly decamped with gold and other valuables collectively worth nearly `19 lakh while his employers were celebrating Holi in their compound near Aksa Beach in Malvani (west).
“We have managed to recover 90 per cent of the stolen valuables,” said investigating official, assistant inspector Rajendra Tendulkar of the Malvani police station.
According to the Malvani police, the incident occurred on March 27 in Harmony Building located near the Aksa Beach. Complainant Navin Luthra was celebrating Holi with his family when the accused, Rakesh Palande, their domestic help, fled with the valuables. When Mr Luthra returned home, he found his flat ransacked and valuables stolen. He tried searching for Palande, who was nowhere to be found. Luthra immediately approached the Malvani police and a case of theft was registered against Palande.
The Malvani police traced Palande in Goa and he has been booked under Section 381 of the IPC.
