The Centre has asked the states to play an effective role for completion of road infrastructure projects in the country. Briefing reporters at the end of the day-long conference on Public Private Partnership in National Highways in New Delhi yesterday, the Road Transport and Highways Minister Dr. C. P. Joshi said states will get 20 per cent of the budget grant fund for the projects for their involvement and timely completion of these projects.
We want more involvement of State Government because states are working with our agencies and we want that they should come out in large number because only few states are having this P.P. mode. But, we keen that entire country's state governments should come and join hands in constructing the NH.
Mr. Joshi said that 16,000 kilometers of highways have been completed so far and another 15,000 are in different stages of completion.
Earlier inaugurating the conference, the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said investment in this sector will rise to about one trillion dollars. He said this is necessary to achieve the target of 9 per cent growth during the 12th five year plan. The Prime Minister also called for complete transparency in the awarding of highway projects to eliminate the possibility of favoritism or crony capitalism.
For a large road-building programme, efficiency, economy, competition and transparency are the vital touch-stones that should be used for judging our level of success. It is necessary to demonstrate that the award, construction and operation of these projects is based on a fair and transparent approach.

प्रधानमंत्री ने जोर देकर कहा है कि लोक-कल्याण के कार्यक्रम लागू करते समय भ्रष्टाचार को बिल्कुल बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जाना चाहिए। डॉ० मनमोहन सिंह ने आज नई दिल्ली में एक राष्ट्रीय कार्यशाला में वामपंथी उग्रवाद से निपटने के लिए नई नीति की घोषणा करते हुए यह बात कही। उन्होंने कहा कि ये नीतियां स्थानीय लोगों की आवश्यकताओं और आकांक्षाओं के अनुरूप होनी चाहिए। नक्सलवाद से ग्रस्त जिलों में विकास की नीतियां अपनाने के बारे में दिनभर की इस कार्यशाला के समापन सत्र में डॉ० मनमोहन सिहं ने इस नीति का ऐलान किया। इसके अंतर्गत पांच साल की एक समन्वित योजना के तहत नक्सलवाद से निपटा जाएगा।

इस कार्यक्रम का उद्देश्य नक्सलवाद से प्रभावित अत्यंत पिछड़े क्षेत्रों में विकास की कमियों को दूर करना है। विकास की कमी के कारण आमतौर पर वहां के लोगों में पराएपन की भावना पैदा हो जाती है। हमारे कार्यक्रम और नीतियां इस प्रकार की होनी चाहिए कि तेजी से विकसित हो रही हमारी अर्थव्यवस्था का लाभ इन लोगों को भी मिले।

प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि वामपंथी उग्रवादियों से लड़ाई जीतने के लिए, सबसे निचले स्तर तक विकास के लाभ पहुंचाना बहुत जरूरी है।

समन्वित कार्ययोजना के भीतर ही एक लचीलापन लाने की आवश्यकता पर बल देते हुए डॉ० मनमोहन सिंह ने कहा कि नक्सलवाद से ग्रस्त इलाकों में सरकारी कार्यक्रम लागू करने के लिए एक ही जैसी व्यवस्था नहीं हो सकती। उन्होंने कहा कि विभिन्न सरकारी कार्यक्रमों की सफलता के लिए उनकी योजना बनाते समय और उन्हें लागू करते हुए, लोगों की भागीदारी आवश्यक है। प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि इस अदृश्य दीवार को गिराने की तत्काल आवश्यकता है। डॉ० मनमोहन सिंह ने कहा कि विकास के लिए जितना भी पैसा खर्च कर दिया जाए, लोगों का विश्वास जीते बिना बात नहीं बनेगी। गृहमंत्री पी० चिदम्बरम ने अपने उद्घाटन भाषण में कहा कि नक्सलवाद से ग्रस्त जिलों में प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था कायम करना आज देश के सामने सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है।

श्री चिदम्बरम ने कहा कि वामपंथी उग्रवाद से देश को आतंकवाद और उपद्रव से भी ज्यादा खतरा है। श्री चिदम्बरम ने बताया कि सरकार नक्सलवाद से ग्रस्त २० और जिलों में समन्वित कार्ययोजना लागू करने पर विचार कर रही है। इन जिलों में सुरक्षा और विकास सुनिश्चित करने के लिए एक विशेष बटालियन तैयार की जा रही है।

हम नक्सली उग्रवाद की परेशानियों को समझते है। इसी को देखते हुए अब हम विशेष बटालियन बना रहे है, जिसमें सुरक्षा और इंजीनियरिंग के विशेष दल होगे और इंजीनियरिंग दल में मेरे विचार से, सेना के सेपर्स और माइनर्स काम करेंगे, जिससे विकास हो सकेगा, लेकिन उन बटालियनों को तैयार करने में वक्त लगेगा।

काबुल में रूक-रूककर गोलीबारी और धमाकों की आवाज सुनाई दे रही है। जलते बारूद की गंध मुझे यहां अपने कमरे में महसूस हो रही है। यह काबूल का सबसे सुरक्षित इलाका माना जाता है। क्योंकि नेटो मुख्यालय के अलावा कई देशों के दूतावास यहां पर हैं और राष्ट्रपति का महल भी पास ही में है। गोलीबारी की बाद सारे इलाके को अफगान नेटो सुरक्षाबलों ने घेर लिया था और आने जाने के सारे रास्ते बंद कर दिए थे। उसके बाद नेटों के हेलीकॉप्टरों ने हवाई कार्रवाई शुरू की और उस इमारत को निशाना बनाया जिस पर आतंकवादियों ने कब्जा कर लिया था। कुछ बड़े धमाके सुनाई देने के बाद अब गोलीबारी की आवाज कभी कभार और रूक-रूककर आ रही है। लेकिन अभी यह नहीं कहा जा सकता है कि विद्राहियों के खिलाफ अभियान पूरा हो गया है। राजेन्द्र उपाध्याय आकाशवाणी समाचार, काबूल।

अभी-प्राप्त खबर के मुताबिक अफगानिस्तान के सरकारी सूत्रों ने बताया है कि तालिबान के हमलों में छह की मौत हो गई और १५ अन्य घायल हो गए। मरने वालों में चार पुलिसकर्मी और दो नागरिक शामिल हैं।

Four policemen and two civilians are among the dead in attacks on four separate locations in Kabul, including NATO's heavily-guarded coalition headquarters next to the US embassy. The insurgents had launched an attack on central Kabul around 1 p.m. today with rocket propelled grenades and other sophisticated weapons. Some of them took control over an under construction multi-storey building near the diplomatic district and are firing in the direction of embassies and NATO compounds. NATO helicopters are encircling the building taken over by the insurgents. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. The U.S. Embassy in a statement issued in Kabul confirmed the attack. More from our Correspondent:
After four hours of fierce firing and blasts, intermittent firing is still going on. The NATO headquarter is just in front of me and I can see the multy-storied building which the terrorists took over and from where they targeted the NATO headquarter. This is the most secure area of Kabul as the NATO headquarters, several foreign embassies and the Presidential Palace is nearby. Soon after the attack Afghan security forces and the NATO troops cordoned off the area and barricaded all entry and exit points. Coalition helicopters also came in support of the forces. They attacked the building taken over by the insurgents. After a few explosions, now the sound of intermittent firing can be heard. But it can not be said that the operation against the insurgents is over. -Rajendra Upadhyay, World News, Kabul. AIR News Kabul.

Iraqi Army forces are carrying out a broad operation, searching for the attackers, who made their escape. More from our Correspondent:
The incident shows fragile nature of Iraq’s security situation. Though violence is down across Iraq from its peak in 2006 and 2007, but attacks remain common. According to official figures, 239 people were killed in violence in the country in August this year. Common people in Iraq are worried for the security situation, as insurgents have increased their attacks while US forces are due to leave the country by the end of this year. There are now 46,000 US troops in Iraq. D.Ojha air news Dubai
