‘Implementation is State’s prerogative’
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Monday issued notice to the State and Central governments on a writ petition filed by Disha, a non-governmental organisation from Malappuram, seeking to implement the recommendations of the Justice Hema Commission which had gone into the conditions of women workers in the film industry.
The petition pointed out that the committee had submitted its report, after conducting marathon evidence-taking measures, on December 31, 2019. However, the recommendations were yet to be implemented.
In 2011, the Karnataka government announced that five botanical gardens will be developed on the lines of the Lalbagh Botanical Garden in Bengaluru across the State. But according to the latest developments, there will only be four such gardens as the Horticulture Department is most likely to drop the project that was supposed to come up in Chikkaballapura district.
