-Inter-ministerial cooperation needed to make India a rabies free nation by 2030: Goel
New Delhi, 28 September 2023. Today on the occasion of World Rabies Day, former Union Minister Vijay Goel, who is spearheading a movement against dog menace, said that we need to spread awareness about rabies among the common public.
He informed that every year more than 20,000 people die due to rabies in India. This, said Goel, accounts for one-third of the global deaths due to rabies.
Goel said that India is lagging behind many smaller countries of South Asia such as Bhutan, Sri Lanka, etc. in tackling the spread of rabies.
Goel argued that recently, the Union Government has drawn a ‘National Action Plan for Dog Mediated Rabies Elimination’ by 2030. However, according to Goel, state governments failed to comply by its directives. We need to work on ground to achieve this target.
Goel emphasised on the necessity of taking up this plan on priority basis with active inter-ministerial co-operation, especially between Ministry of Health and Ministry of Animal Husbandry.
Goel further said that anti-rabies injections are not readily available in all the hospitals in Delhi. There is serious shortage of anti-rabies injections.
According to Goel, it should be binding on the state government to make anti-rabies injections available in all the hospitals.
Further, citing the recent death of a boy in Ghaziabad due to rabies, Goel urged for spreading awareness against this deadly disease.
Goel also said that we need to ensure 100% sterilization of stray dogs and administration of rabies vaccine to both stray as well as pet dogs to make India a rabies free nation.

Top officials of NDPL were present with him in this meeting.
Goel said that people are facing a lot of electricity problems and people do not even know which officer to talk to, whom to approach and there are some people who have been making rounds of the officers for 4-5 years but till now their problem has not been solved. Therefore, Bijli Adalat is trying to solve people's problems.
Hearing the problems of the public, Goel ordered the concerned officer of that department to immediately resolve the issues, so that the public problem can be solved as soon as possible.
Goel said that if the government gives so many subsidies then the bill of these poor people should also be waived off. Those people manage their livelihood with difficulty and the government should also think about them.
Goel said that most of the problems of the people are due to high electricity bills, hence they want that their meters should be checked and the government should provide benefits under some scheme to those whose electricity has been cut.
Many people said that despite the fact that no commercial activity is taking at their place, bills as per commercial rates are being raised. Some people say that since the time fast meters have been installed they are receiving higher bills.
Goel, along with NDPL officials, listened to the complaints of the public and provided relief to the complainants wherever possible.
Goel said that in future also he will set up Bijli Adalat in different areas of Delhi and the problems of the people will be solved. He also appealed to the Delhi Government if they would promise free lollipops during the elections, then they should provide some permanent scheme for these poor people and provide solution to them.

Equal justice is the right of every citizen – Arif Mohammad Khan
PRESS RELEASE
1. Equal justice is the right of every citizen – Arif Mohammad Khan
2. Uniform Civil Code will also protect the interests of common citizens – Arif Mohammad Khan
3. UCC will promote gender equality and reduce discrimination based on religion: Vijay Goel
4. Modi is working for all sections without any discrimination: Goel
New Delhi, July 13, 2023: Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti organized a seminar on “Uniform Civil Code – Need of the Hour?” at Tees January Marg, Gandhi Smriti on July 13, 2023. On this occasion, Governor of Kerala, Arif Mohammad Khan, delivered the keynote address. Former Union Minister and Vice Chairman of Gandhi Smriti, Vijay Goel presided over the function.
In his address, Arif Mohammad Khan stated that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is essential for the unity of the country. It is unfortunate that some people are associating it with religion, whereas UCC is not targeting any particular religion. Instead, it advocates equal laws for all citizens of the country.
He mentioned that this law will ensure that when two women approach the court under similar circumstances, the court will not ask about their religion, but rather affirm that equal justice is the right of every citizen.
The Governor of Kerala said that since 2019, there has been a 96% reduction in triple talaq cases among Muslims. This has benefited those women and their children who were earlier distressed. This law has transformed their lives. Similarly, the Uniform Civil Code will also protect the interests of common citizens.
Arif Mohammad Khan stated that India is not a land of revolutions but of transformations. We live with our cultural diversities and celebrate our diversity.
Goel said that opponents of the Uniform Civil Code claim that it would violate religious freedom. However, this law will promote gender equality, reduce discrimination based on religion, and simplify the legal system. The maximum benefit will be received by the minority communities.
Goel said that the need is being felt that there should be equal law for every citizen living in India, irrespective of caste and religion and called for a healthy debate on this issue. He said that the Uniform Civil Code aims to be a secular law.
Goel said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi works without any discrimination. He has worked for the upliftment of minorities, women, and the poor. Whether it is the ban on triple talaq, the Ujjwala scheme, or the Jan Dhan Yojana, these schemes have benefited people of all religions, especially women.
Goel said that change is often met with resistance, but progress demands courage and vision. We must also acknowledge that the implementation of a UCC requires careful consideration and extensive dialogue with all stakeholders, including religious and community leaders. It is essential to address their concerns and find common ground to forge ahead towards a more just and equitable society.
Earlier on his arrival to Gandhi Smriti, Arif Mohammad Khan offered tributes at the Martyr’s Column, the site of the Martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi.

Goel said that the government has no control over the Jal Board. There is huge corruption in it and now to hide the corruption, this one-time settlement scheme is being introduced on water bills.
Goel said that nothing has been finalized about this scheme yet and the Chief Minister has announced it without thinking, because people's water bills amounting to Rs 3 to 4 lakhs is being charged owing to which a lot of pressure is put on the government.
Goel said that a video of Kejriwal is in the public domain, in which he has been saying since 2016 that there is huge fraud in the bills of 27.6 lakh consumers. It was Kejriwal who had announced in 2016 that he would make a “Future Software”, in which consumers would be able to take meter readings from their mobile itself and generate the bill themselves, which will prevent wrong meter reading. Where has the “Future Software” of the Chief Minister disappeared, questioned Goel?
Kejriwal has himself admitted that due to corruption in Jal Board, bills have been generated by taking false readings. Moreover, the consumers are being threatened that if they do not pay the bills according to the new readings within three (3) months then they will have to pay the bills with wrong readings.
Goel also posed 9 questions to Arvind Kejriwal:
1. Thousands of consumers who have paid all the old bills on the basis of wrong meter readings, will their bills be rectified and the amount be refunded?
2. So far, how many crores of rupees have been deposited by how many consumers on the basis of wrong bills?
3. The Chief Minister has accepted that the bills of 95 percent people are wrong, in which the meter reader is at fault and bribe has also been sought in this. What action will be taken against these corrupt meter readers?
4. Officials of Jal Board say that no plan is final yet, so on what basis has the Chief Minister made this announcement?
5. The Chief Minister said in a video that due to Covid, wrong bills have been made. There was no Covid in 2016, then why corruption continued, the Chief Minister should tell?
6. The Chief Minister is saying that it will take 100 years to rectify these bills, then how will they be rectified so soon, which could not be rectified in the last 8 years?
7. Where is the ‘Future Software’ announced by Kejriwal in 2016, in which the consumers are allowed to generate the correct bill by taking the meter reading from the mobile itself?
8. Who will verify the readings of the new bills and whether there will be any court to settle the disputes arising in it?

Goel said if we not cognizance of dog in delhi number will increase from 8 lakh to 60 lakh.
Goel said that every day 150 to 200 dog bite cases are coming to a government hospital, if we take all the hospitals, we can guess that thousands of dogs are biting humans every day at some place or the other.
Goel said that the Delhi government and the Municipal Corporation are not paying attention to the problem of stray dogs, monkeys and cows, but the whole of Delhi is in the grip of their fear.
Goel said that he is doing the work of creating awareness among the public. Goyal said that today the children have holidays but children are not seen in the parks because their parents are afraid of dog bites where the children come with their guardians.
Goel said that he had gone to Vasant Kunj to meet the mother whose children of 5 and 7 had been mauled to death by dogs, where till date someone who is known as a dog lover not went to inquire about the condition of that poor mother or did they help her.
Goel said that he is getting calls from places like Pune, Maharashtra, Kerala, Noida, Ghaziabad, Delhi to hold meetings here too because the problem of dogs has increased a lot here too.
Goyal said that a person belongs to Shahdara who said that the swiper has refused to come to street here because she says that there are many dogs in this street and she is afraid to come here.
Councilor of Trinagar Meenu Goel said that people who come to visit the parks demand small sticks from us so that the roaming dogs do not come near them.
Vineeta, a resident of Trinagar, said that she has been bitten by dogs twice so far and a dog bite costs 10,000 for 4 injections and the injection given after the dog bite is also not easily available.
Trinagar RWA chief Ramesh Chander said that dogs are left on the streets, so they become stray like humans, if enclosures are made for them at different places, they will not become stray.
Ashok Sharma of Keshav Puram RWA said that the problem of cows should also be address. My wife was hit by a cow and she is still in bed.
Saurabh Gandhi of RWA Federation said that the rules of RWA Animal Welfare Board should be changed as RWA is not ready to take the responsibility of feeding the stray dogs.
Udit Prakash, a resident, said that those who call themselves dog lovers, give pieces of meat to dogs anywhere, gradually they get used to it and they become more violent, whose easy victims are children and old people.
