Last year, Dwarka-Kalyanpur MLA Pabubha Manek wrote to Patel, and updated her about the incident, along with a copy of complaint made by victim "Jayshree Dave", a teacher in PVM Girls High School in Dwarka.
Dave was teaching at the girls' school for 20 years, she was forced to resign after she said no to some trustees for sexual relationship.
Arvind Thaker the new principal started problems for Jayshree in 2002, earlier it was a mental harassment which soon changed into sexual proposal, it was in early 2007 when thaker asked for sexual favours, when she protested, she was forced to resign.
As Dave's finance are in trouble, Pabubha had written once more to the new education minister "Raman Vora" on this January.

Jamnagar - Hike in Gujarat Jantri Rates
The proposal is to increase the Jantri rates by over 200 to 300 per cent, so a buyer have to shell out additional payment of Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 for purchasing property for residential purposes.
Some feel that this is done in order to compensate the Octroi abolishment in the municipal coprporation of the seven cities of Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Surat and Junagadh. Govt. think it will be able to match for revenue losses of Rs 2,000 crores annually.

Jamnagar - Gujarat Budget 2008 - 2009
This will end a 2 year no-tax budget regime. Finance Minister Vajubhai Vala said that the new tax will, however, leave a deficit of Rs.1.16 billion uncovered and the additional tax will not be imposed on petrol and diesel, also declared and exempted goods also will not attract the additional tax.
Although this was not a surprise, as the state is losing Rs.18 billion as octroi revenue in a full year, by abolishing it in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar and Junagadh municipal corporations. However its worth noting that prices of the items thus spared by Octroi loss has not gone down in last 4-5 months, and this additional tax will add the burden to the common man.
Vala did announced a proposal to create new technological university equivalent to Indian Institute of Technology during current year and plans to establish an Indian Institute of Management-like premier institute in collaboration with Public Health Foundation of India.
Other major numbers in the budget included
Rs.32.55 billion for Sardar Sarovar
Rs.21.11 billion for urban development and housing
Rs.7.75 billion under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Reform Mission
Rs.9.42 billion for agriculture
Rs.8.96 billion for industries and mines.
