BOOKED: The local police has registered a case
under the Essential Commodities Act against Gurdev Singh,
a depot-holder in the nearby Jhanpur village on Saturday
for over-charging the customers in the sale of kerosene
and making false claim of distributing 72 litres of

letter sent to the SSP, Ropar, on Saturday, he had
written that his wife, Sunita, left for her parents’
place in Rajpura to get some medicines from there, but

PANCHKULA
CASH COLLECTION CENTRES': The Citizens Welfare
Association has demanded that the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran
Nigam should open more cash collection centres all over
the city and have the cash acceptance facilities at more
banks, besides the existing ones in Sectors 7 and 11.
Taking the plea that residents from far-away places have
to come to the Industrial Area for depositing the bills,
the President of the association, Mr S.K. Nayar, said
that the matter had been taken up with the department
concerned but to no avail. The association has also
demanded that more technical staff be deputed to attend
to the electricity complaints during the rainy season
since snags in lines develop even with a drizzle.
LINK ROAD: The Panchkula
Residents Welfare Federation, in a letter to the chief
minister of Haryana, has urged the early opening of the
direct link road from Panchkula to Chandigarh railway
station. A press note issued by the General Secretary, Mr
Subhash Papneja, said that owing to delay in the
inauguration of the road in spite of the completion of
the project, the public was being put to a lot of
inconvenience. Also, opening the road would reduce the
traffic on the single road connecting Panchkula with
Chandigarh.
