A Manitoba woman chained herself to a bulldozer Tuesday, which she said has been used to clear marsh land to allow a hog barn operator to spread manure on the property near Zhoda in southeastern Manitoba.

The barns need to look at how they are managing manure. Instead of looking at new technologies to manage manure, they are bulldozing marsh forest to spread their manure, said Janine Gibson.

Gibson was formerly a federal Green Party candidate in the Provencher riding.

Arthur Rempel from Provista Agriculture said he was shocked to see her there and that they will be talking to Manitoba Conservation before the company goes ahead with any more work.

Work was stopped Tuesday.

He said he will be talking to Conservation Jan. 21.

A provincial spokesperson issued a statement Tuesday afternoon.

Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship is aware of concerns around the activity at this site. Environment Officers and Drainage Officers have visited the property and determined that the activity is related only to clearing brush, said the spokesperson. At this time we have identified no compliance issues, but will remain in contact with the property owners and can return if anything changes or other work is undertaken.

While current regulations do not permit the application of manure after November 10 or before April 11, if at some point in the future anyone plans to spread manure on that property they would first have to file a manure management plan with the province. That plan would have to show that there is sufficient buffer area from any watershed, said the provincial spokesperson.

Roma have withdrawn from the race to land Barcelona right-back Martin Montoya clearing the way for Liverpool or Arsenal to make their move.

The Premier League clubs have been heavily linked with the flying right-back, who has grown tired of his lack of game time at Barca.

The 23-year-old has started just 38 league games since breaking into the first-team picture four years ago and it has been reported that he wants to seek a fresh challenge.

AS Roma are big admirers of Montoya and wanted to tempt him to Serie A but, according to El Mundo Deportivo, they have now given up hope of signing him.

It has been suggested that the Italian club have been told that Barca will not sell him for anything less than his 16.5m release clause because of their current transfer embargo.

It remains to be seen whether or not that will put off either Arsenal or Liverpool but they will now face no competition from Roma if they firm up their interest with a bid.

Be it the Ahmedabad Metro, land for Gujarat Bhavan in New Delhi or funds for projects, Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel mostly bypasses the usual ministry route to directly write to prime minister Narendra Modi to expedite approvals. And the prime minister, it appears, obliges by taking a personal interest in clearing projects for Gujarat, documents available with dna suggest.

Be it the Ahmedabad Metro, land for Gujarat Bhavan in New Delhi or funds for projects, Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel mostly bypasses the usual ministry route to directly write to prime minister Narendra Modi to expedite approvals. And the prime minister, it appears, obliges by taking a personal interest in clearing projects for Gujarat, documents available with dna suggest.

Unlike other chief ministers who communicate with the ministry concerned for their projects, Patel prefers to deal directly with the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to cut the red tape.

In response to a Right to Information (RTI) application filed by dna, the urban development ministry revealed that Patel wrote to PMO in June complaining that the ministry had been idling on the Ahmedabad Metro project since April. The prime minister, who was Gujarat chief minister before Patel, intervened and the project got a final go-ahead in August.

Acquisition of land for Gujarat Bhavan in the national capital was also made possible with Modi's intervention. According to the documents, the PMO made a reference to Patel's complaints and got land allotted to the state government in July this year.

Patel and PMO walked the same path to get funds for projects sanctioned under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).

The RTI reply from various departments within the ministry reveals that the Gujarat government has made the most number of requests to the PMO.

The only other chief minister to write to the prime minister has been former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa for construction of phase II of Chennai Metro.

"When it comes to Gujarat, the PMO not just writes to the urban development ministry an official from PMO closely monitors issues pertaining to his home state," said a ministry official.

Clearly, the prime minister's heart still beats for Gujarat.

After promising in September to quickly resolve a years-long land dispute involving villagers and the politically connected development company KDC International, a member of the National Assemblys human rights commission visited affected families in Kampong Chhnang province yesterday.

Chea Poch, an opposition lawmaker, said he cooperated with rights group Adhoc and the authorities to study the situation in Kampong Tralach districts Lorpeang village and collect information from dozens of families who claim to own land in the disputed area.

When we find out how many families legally own land here and who wants to keep their land or accept compensation, we will speak with the company, Poch said. We will try to resolve this according to the law and respect what the villagers want.

In September, members of the commission vowed to find a solution in a matter of weeks. Poch, however, said yesterday that he did not know how long it would take to resolve the dispute.

Villagers greeted Poch with some caution, noting that the commission was well past the deadline it had set itself.

Last time, they did not inspect the land personally, Sngoun Nhoeun, a representative of the villagers, said of a previous visit. This time they should conduct a more thorough study.

KDC is owned by Chea Kheng, wife of Minister of Mines and Energy Suy Sem. Families accuse KDC of clearing 145 hectares of their land for development.

Phat Pov Seang, a lawyer representing KDC, said that the company welcomed the investigation.

But we dont believe that it will solve the problem, because the people are always demanding money for land that they no longer own, he said.

These families sold their land in 1997 but continued to live there and plant rice. The next owner sold the land to KDC in 2007. The company has land titles.
