KOLKATA/SONBHADRA (UP), Feb 22: The Geological Survey of India (GSI) today said there has been no discovery of gold deposits estimated to be around 3,000 tonnes in Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh, as claimed by a district mining official. "Such data was not given by anybody from GSI.... GSI has not estimated such kind of vast resource of gold deposits in Sonbhadra district," GSI Director General (DG) M Sridhar said in Kolkata this evening. "We share our findings regarding any resources of ore after conducting survey with the state units.... We (GSI, Northern Region) had carried out work in that region in 1998-99 and 1999-2000. The report was shared with UP DGM for infor- mation and further necessary action," he said.(PTI) NEW DELHI, Feb 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said "1.3 billion Indians" have disregarded apprehensions and "wholeheart- edly" accepted recent critical judicial verdicts which were subjects of global discussion. Speaking at the inaugural function of the International Judicial Conference 2020 - 'Judiciary and the Changing World' at the Supreme Court, Modi spoke about recent crucial judgements, in an apparent ref- erence to path-breaking verdicts including in the politically-sen- sitive Ayodhya case. The Prime Minister said no country or society in the world can claim to achieve holistic development without gender justice and referred to laws on transgenders, 'triple talaq' and on the rights of 'Divyang' (per- sons with disabilities). He said the Government has also taken steps to give rights to women in military service and in providing paid maternity leave for 26 weeks. He also hailed the Indian judiciary for redefining environ- mental jurisprudence to strike a balance between development and ecological protection. Modi, while emphasising on the use of technology and the internet, said it would help in procedural management of courts and would benefit the jus- tice delivery system to a large extent. He also referred to synchro- nisation of artificial intelligence with human wisdom and said it would bring "speed to delivery of justice". "In addition, in the changing times, issues like data protec- tion, cyber crimes pose new challenges for the judiciary," he said in his inaugural address. "In recent times, there have been some critical judicial judgements and decisions which have been the subject of global discussion. Before these judge- ments were delivered, several apprehensions were being expressed about the conse- quences. But look what hap- pened! 1.3 billion Indians wholeheartedly accepted the judicial verdicts," Modi said. He said it is going to be a decade of remarkable changes across the world which will impact all frontiers, be it society, economy, or technology, and these changes need to be ration- al as well as just and fair. Talking about the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi, the Prime Minister said, "Gandhiji's life was dedicated to the cause of truth and service, which are the foundation- al tenets for any system of justice and as you all know, he was him- self a barrister and belonged to the fraternity of lawyers". Hailing a vibrant judiciary, legislature and executive, the PM said, "Respecting each other's jurisdiction and dignity, these three pillars of the Constitution have resolved vari- ous challenges faced by the country on several occasions. "We are proud of having developed such a rich tradition in India. In the last five years, vari- ous institutions of India have fur- ther strengthened this tradition". He also referred to the Centre's endeavour in repealing 1,500 archaic laws and said, "Speed has been demonstrated not only in doing away with irrelevant laws but also in enact- ing new legislations aimed at strengthening the social fabric". The Indian Constitution guar- antees gender justice under the provisions of the right to equality, Modi said, adding that India is "among few nations which has ensured the right to vote for women since independence". He also referred to his gov- ernment's flagship programme 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' to stress the steps taken by it to empower women. "Similarly, the Government has brought about many changes, whether it be the appointment of women in mili- tary service or in the selection process of fighter pilots or regarding their freedom to work in the mines at night," he said. He referred to India's eco- nomic growth and said that five- six years ago, India was the 11th largest economy of the world.(PTI) SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2020 (PAGE 12) DAILY EXCELSIOR, JAMMU DR.
