Re-examine Puravankara project near DRDO: High Court

‘Did builder own the land when plan got nod?’

The Karnataka High Court on Monday directed the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to re-examine issues related to the construction of a 16-storey apartment complex by Puravankara Projects Ltd. near the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) campus at C.V. Raman Nagar.

The court told the BBMP to look into every complaint by DRDO related to alleged violation of laws in the grant of approval for the building plans in 2007 and 2011 for construction of 660 flats at ‘Purva Seasons’, adjacent to the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR). The BBMP has been specifically directed to re-examine whether Puravankara had the title deed of the land when the plan was sanctioned. The court’s direction to Puravankara not to aerially encroach upon the defence land during construction by using cranes stays.

Setback to DRDO
The court did not entertain the DRDO’s contention that the project would pose a security and safety threat to various defence research wings in the vicinity. However, DRDO can approach the Supreme Court on the issue of keeping the land on which the project is coming up free of construction under Section 3 of the Works of Defence Act, 1903. Pointing out that the DRDO could not produce any material on the safe distance to be maintained from a defence establishment, the court noticed that there are several other high-rise buildings like Bagmane Tech Park and August Park near the DRDO’s research wings.

The court observed that DRDO could not establish how only Puravankara’s project is affecting it.

DRDO bleeds as scientists desert organisation in droves

Monday, 24 February 2014 – 7:32pm IST | Place: Bangalore | Agency: DNA

Young scientists are leaving India’s premier defence research agency in large numbers.

Defence Research Development Organisation (Drdo), responsible for developing indigenous defence systems, has not been able to retain its young scientists over the last seven years or so.

Close to 1,000 scientists have resigned from Drdo since 2007, but it is the exit of young scientists (Scientist ‘B’ and Scientist ‘C’ grades) that is a cause of concern.

The scientists in these grades are critical for research and development of a number of indigenous defence projects in areas such as aeronautics, armaments, combat vehicles, electronics and missiles.

Between 2007 and 2009, around 285 scientists in ‘B’ grade and 162 in ‘C’ resigned. Over the next four years, between 2010 and 2013, there was a small drop as 162 in grade ‘B’ and 77 in ‘C’ resigned.

The flight of the younger scientists is in complete contrast to the resignation to the senior scientists in ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’ ‘G’ ‘Outstanding’ ‘Distinguished’ categories, as between 2007 and 2013 only 86 resigned.

Following the high attrition rate in 2012, mainly due to availability better opportunities and incentives in the private sector, the ministry of defence (MoD) announced a few incentives and corrective measures to retain scientists.

The measures included two additional increments on promotion to each Grade, up to six variable increments on promotion granted on fast track, professional update allowance to all scientists, fast track promotions through assessments, opportunity to acquire higher qualifications at reputed institutes viz. IIT`s / IISc, etc. as Drdo sponsored candidate, young Scientists, Scientist of the Year and other Drdo awards in recognition to their contributions and creation of excellent infrastructure facilities at work places and residential complexes.

The incentives, however, have not been able to stop the exodus. Defence minister AK Antony said in Parliament recently that ‘personal and for pursuing higher studies’ as the reason for the scientists leaving the organisation.

Drdo has a sanctioned strength of 7,500 and is currently short of a few hundred scientists

    EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE
    HYDERABAD, May 4: Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist Srinivasulu, who was nabbed by Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials and city police here on Thursday night, was found to be working as a faculty member in the Tripoli University in Libya.

    IB officials, acting on a tip off, sought the assistance of city police, who arrested the B-grade defence scientist at the Rajiv Gandhi International airport when he was about to board the Dubai-bound Air-India flight.

    According to sources, Srinivasulu neither submitted his resignation nor obtained permission from the DRDO authorities for working in Libya. He obtained a passport without the knowledge of DRDO which is statutory. He left for Libya an year-and-half back and joined as a faculty member in the university at Tripoli.

    During interrogation, Srinivasulu reportedly confessed before IB officials that he was taking some secret documents with him and one of his colleagues at Tripoli university, Kumar, was also involved in the spying.

    Sources added that Srinivasulu has planned to go to Sharjah by the Dubai-bound Indian Airlines flight and then to Malta Islands in Africa by air. From there he was to catch a ship for Tripoli.
