BJP led Yogi Adityanath govt fails to control law and order situation in UP
Lucknow: It is unfortunate and interesting to notice that violence took place in about nine cities on the occasion of ‘Muharram’ and ‘Durga’ immersion in Uttar Pradesh beside the fact that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave strict warning to criminals to leave the UP or stop doing criminal activities but still it seems like that his warning proves to be not effective.
Now, it is very important to notice that soon after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took charge as the head of the state he gave strict warning to criminals weather to stop indulging in criminal activities or only option left to leave the state otherwise they will have to face tough period
But despite his warnings the crime graph of the Uttar Pradesh state is increasing rapidly beside the fact that Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) got impressive victory in Uttar Pradesh state assembly election in which they secured absolute majority in which BJP have claimed that they will pull down crime graph if they elected to power.
If we look at some index of recently past time during the period of Muharram and Durga Puja occasion it is sad to see that violence and criminal activities took places in near about nine cities throughout state which is worst then that of previous Samajwadi Party led Akhilesh Yadav regime.
Interestingly, some of the important nine cities which were affected due to communal violence during the period of Muharram and Durga Puja are Kanpur, Ballia and Barabanki.
Criminal activities worsen in Yogi Adityanath govt in comparison of Akhilesh Yadav regime:
Now lets have a look of what’s crime graph of Uttar Pradesh is giving us indications. The total number of offenses between 16 March 2017 till March 31 2017 were 58, 316. On other hand, during same time in the year 2016, the total crime number was reported to 73, 874.
During Yogi’s regime, near about 1136 rape cases in UP were registered, while during the same time period in year 2016, there were only 781 rape cases were registered.
In Yogi’s government, 67 cases of robbery have been registered, while in the meantime only 56 cases of robbery came out in the year 2016 when there was Akhilesh Yadav led Samajwadi Party were ruling in state.
Interestingly, in Adityanath regime, 1027 cases of robbery have been registered between March 16, 2017 and May 31, 2017, while during the year 2016, there were only 795 cases were registered in previous government.
Now the most important this is this that Safaron party led Yogi Adityanath government has always claimed to take strict action against the criminals but now question has been started arising that is Adityanath regime is not be able to control law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
