Murder or suicide: wheels within wheels New Delhi, March 31 This, despite the fact that senior police officers, including the police commissioner Ajai Raj Sharma, had indicated a few days after the second post-mortem that it appeared to be a suicide and a clear picture would emerge in “two to three days”. With the South West District Police failing to draw any definite conclusions, the investigation into the death was handed over to the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police. Prior to this, such was the interest and intrigue, that two post-mortems were conducted on the body, which was found with multiple injuries in the early hours of the morning on March 17. Sources close to the investigators indicated that the reluctance of the police to come to a definite conclusion stemmed from the fact that the experts consulted by the investigating officers were divided in their opinion on whether a person, who had consumed a large number of sedatives and topped it with a large amount of alcohol, was capable of climbing the ledge near the air-conditioning unit on the top floor of the hotel. Natasha is believed to have either jumped or was pushed from the ledge to her death. “The report of the viscera, which has been sent to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), could provide an answer to this”, a senior police officer claimed. Also, the investigators have so far been unable to ascertain whether Natasha went to the hotel late on Saturday night on impulse or was summoned by someone. An examination of the transcripts of phone calls received by her has not helped in unravelling the mystery. The police, meanwhile, claimed that they had talked to a large number of hotel employees and guests, to ascertain her state of mind prior to her death. “Once we are certain of these two details, we would be able to conclude whether it was a suicide or murder”, the officer claimed. Then, there is the mystery shrouding the mobile found intact in Natasha’s handbag. It apparently survived the fall from the ledge. Also, it is a trifle surprising that the bag did not get disentangled mid-air and remained draped around her shoulder.

CAG greets new corporators with dismal findings New Delhi, March 31 The report, tabled in the Delhi Assembly, would give an idea of the state of affairs in the civic body to the new corporators. The body is due to elect its new woman Mayor on Monday. Attacking the MCD for renouncing its duties while enforcing building regulations and maintaining sanitary conditions in the national Capital, the CAG said the Building Department of the MCD had failed to contain the growth of unauthorised constructions. Such constructions increased five-fold in the period 1996-2000 (base year 1995) in six zones checked by the CAG. In its report for the year ended March 2001, the CAG said in 68 to 93 per cent of unauthorised constructions, ordered to be demolished during 1995-2000, the officers concerned did not raze the unauthorised structures. The unauthorised constructions ordered to be sealed by the competent authority were not sealed in more than 50 per cent cases, the report said, adding that inadequate action against unauthorised construction resulted in payment of infructuous wages of Rs 31 lakh per annum to 64 additional daily wagers engaged for demolition action. Stressing the need for MCD to urgently review its garbage removal and sanitation management in an integrated manner, to ensure more effective and efficient utilisation of available resources, the Audit review revealed that it failed to perform these functions efficiently despite having surplus safai karamcharis. “The cleaning and removal of garbage is far from satisfactory as revealed from the inspection reports of the officers of the MCD and the feedback from resident association,” the CAG said. MCD takes two to 15 days to attend to the complaints regarding garbage removal, it said. The working of the corporation left much to be desired, even though the expenditure on these services increased by more than 100 per cent over five years, it said, adding that the deficient purchase and maintenance system resulted in procurement of tipper trucks of incorrect specifications. The idling of trucks and bulldozers consequently also caused monetary loss. The MCD incurred avoidable expenditure of Rs 12.67 crore on hiring of trucks for removing garbage, though its own fleet was operational and sufficient, the CAG said. |

Woman alleges gang rape in police station Ghaziabad, March 31 When she went to the hospital the doctors on duty refused to examine her. She has now, in her complaint to the DM, asked for action against the guilty police officials. The woman happens to be the wife of a blind man who lives in ward no. 1 of Dasna town. She has alleged that on March 18 Babugarh Police had come to her house and forcibly took her away in a jeep. An SI and a constable had quizzed her about the whereabouts of her son Kishan. When she failed to give satisfactory answers, she was allegedly beaten up and later gang-raped by the police officials in the police station; later, she was dropped near her house. The police also threatened that if she reported the incident, her entire family would be wiped out. Rani Nafisa Pasha, the district Congress chief, took her to the DM’s office and lodged a written complaint. Later, in the women’s district hospital, when she accused the police officials of having gang-raped her, the doctors informed the kotwali police. A police inspector visited the hospital and made inquiries from the woman and her blind husband. The doctors, it is reported, refused to medically examine the victim in the absence of the police officials. According to SSP Ghaziabad, Mr Prashant Kumar, the rape charge does not appear to be logical. However, Circle Officer, Hapur, I.C. Sharma, has been asked to inquire into the matter. A few days ago a woman was murdered in
village Kucheser Chopala under Babugarh police station. The police were looking for the blind man’s son in this connection, the SSP disclosed. |

Gaping holes in MDU accounts Rohtak, March 31 The annual audit report was placed before the university court in its meeting held on March 26 but consideration of the report was postponed without assigning any reason. The Haryana Governor and Chancellor of the university, Babu Parmanand, had presided over the court meeting. The audit report has time and again warned the university administration that “in the absence of reconciliation of the cash book with accounts, there is every possibility of bogus credits and fraudulent debits in the banks and cash accounts”. The report points out that 30154 candidates enrolled in B. Ed (CC) during 1988-89 and the fee recoverable from these candidates worked out to Rs6,67,91,110. But as per income register and cash book, only Rs 6,08,90,836.50 was recovered. Thus, there was a shortfall of Rs 59,00,273.50 . As per the report, advances worth Rs 18958296 have been shown adjusted as on
March 31, 2001. These include an advance of Rs 34,59,633 against university officials and departments and Rs 41,79,511 against the Engineering cell. This figure might have gone up during the year ending March 31. The audit report has not commented on the accounts of various heads of departments and institutions. The report has also made no observations on the man-power audit in the light of the implementation of the revised teaching work load. The audit report says that the university administration is not taking the audit objections seriously. “ The disposal of audit objections was not satisfactory. Provisional payments were yet to be adjusted Huge amounts of temporary advances were outstanding. Likely cases of misappropriation of stores, short recovery of revenue and infructuous expenditure were noticed. The university main cash book and other mini cash books were not reconciled”, the report pointed out. The audit report further revealed that during the physical verification of stores for the year 1999-2000 by the Estate Officer, various items like cycles, tables, chairs, steel cots, colours television, steel almirah, ceiling fans, teleprinter, air-conditioners with stabilisers, carpets, steel and other utencils and so many other costly items worth lakhs of rupees were found less. The report said that the matter needs to be investigated and the cost of the missing goods recovered from the defaulters. |

Referring to the communal disturbances in various parts of the country, Mr Chautala claimed that there was a complete communal harmony among the people in the state and every effort would be made to maintain it at all costs. He, however, warned that any attempt to create disharmony among the different communities would be dealt with a strong hand. He claimed that he had translated the dream of Chaudhary Devi Lal and made every effort to take the state on the road of progress. He said that on account of his pro-people policies, the party candidate had won the Yamunanagar assembly by-election and it was a clear proof that his policies had been endorsed by not only the rural people but by the people of urban areas also. The Chief Minister said that the incidents of migration of the rural people to the urban areas had come down considerably as all the basic amenities like drinking water, power, medical facilities and education had been provided in the villages. He said that during the last two and a half years, as many as 37 big and 3,000 medium and small scale industries had been set up in the state and the state government had earned additional revenue of crores of rupees. He also said that the market fee had been reduced and the tax structure simplified. There was no harassment of the traders or the industrialists by the government agencies. He claimed that the recruitments for the government jobs were being made on merit basis and there was no interference from any quarter in the recruitments. Mr Chautala said that his party believed in secularism and criticised the Congress for dividing the people on caste lines. He said that on the death anniversary of Chaudhary Devi Lal on April 6, prayers meeting and blood donation camps would be held all over state. He asked the party workers to take part in these programmes and make them success. Referring to the construction of SYL canal in the Punjab territory, Mr Chautala said that every effort would be made to get it completed in accordance with the verdict of the Supreme Court. He also said that his government was struggling hard to tide over the power crisis in the state. He said that there was no alternative to the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, and he hoped that on account of the assurance given by the Prime Minister, POTO would not be misused.  |

Farmers seek higher MSP for wheat Faridabad, March 31 A spokesman of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) said that the NDA government and its allies had put the farmers interest on backburner and the delay had been the part of ‘anti-farmer’ policy of the government. He said although the Chief Minister, Mr Om Parkash Chautala, claimed to have written to the Prime Minister for a higher MSP, the government seemed to be least concerned. Claiming that agriculture had become a loss-making enterprise for the small farmers, he said that the costs of inputs and especially prices of fertilisers had gone up several times in the past few years, the decision about the rate at which one farmer would sell in Mandi was taken by the senior officials in the government. The chief of Janata Dal (United), Haryana wing, Mr Ved Prakash Vidrohi, also condemned the delay in the announcement of wheat MSP. In a statement here today, Mr Vidrohi said that the delay had been surprising amidst the fact that partners in the NDA government including JD, Samata Party, Lok Janshakti, INLD and Akali Dal (Badal) claim to be farmer-friendly. He asked leaders of these parties to build up pressure on the Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister to announce a proper rate immediately as the harvesting of some of the crops had already started. He also asked the government agencies and authorities concerned to ensure the purchase of all the rabi items brought in the mandis, especially mustard and jowar grown extensively in southern Haryana. Mr Karan Singh Dalal, MLA from Palwal constituency and rural (district) unit leaders of Congress party have also demanded a MSP of over Rs 700 for wheat. |

HVP
only option: Bansi Lal Faridabad, March 31 Speaking at a Public meeting, organised at Sector-12 ground here today, Mr Bansi Lal said that the present government had been riding safely due to divided opposition but the HVP had started regaining its lost ground and the masses had started looking up to his party to provide relief from the ‘misrule’ of present government.

Panipat
reeks of filth dumped by dairies Panipat, March 31 “Milk dairies located within the populated areas of Panipat town are a big nuisance, affecting the sanitation in the town. Existing dairies are around 200 and are situated in the interior of the town which is quite congested,” this was stated by Sanjay Bhatia, president of Municipal Council Panipat in an interview with the ‘NCR Tribune’ on Saturday. Mr Bhatia said that these dairies were health hazard and spread diseases besides causing insanitary conditions and pollution. The dairies caused a lot of inconvenience to the residents of nearby localities due to the unrestricted movement of cattle in streets, he added. He said that the dairies discharged cowdung and filth into drains and sewer which often got choked. In fact, some of the underground sewers in the town had been completely blocked. This problem worsened in rainy season. Talking about beautification drive in Panipat, Mr Bhatia said that a remedial measure had been proposed by the Panipat Municipal Council. A plan was prepared to keep the town clean, green and healthy under which all dairies were to be shifted outside the town. The plan would be beneficial to the dairy owners also as it would have the concentration of units at one place where the infrastructure for further development could be easily created. Provision of suitable habitat to the cattle would also indirectly help their owners, said the president of the Municipal Council. Meanwhile, the Executive officer (EO) of Municipal Council Panipat, Mr Shiv Kumar Vats said that as per survey conducted by the Council, there were 197 dairies within the municipal limit. Of which 181 dairies with 5 to 15 cattle category were of 250 square yards, 12 dairies with 15 to 25 cattle category were in 350 square yards and four dairies with more than 25 cattle category were in 500 square yards plots. Mr Vats confirmed that the site selection committee had been constituted under the charge of Deputy Commissioner along with District Town Planner, District Revenue Officer and president of Municipal Council to monitor the implementation of the scheme. He said that the Committee had identified the land for shifting the dairies in Binjhol and Khotpura. The land belonged to the panchayats. Project had been prepared to shift the dairies located on the western side of G.T. Road, Mr Vats added. The EO confirmed that Khotpura land had been identified and case forwarded to the Director Panchayat for the transfer of land to Municipal Council, Panipat. Both the lands, Binjhol and Khotpura, required for dairy development were inspected by the Site Selection Committee on February 20 and 21. The proposed land of Binjhol is two km from Panipat on Panipat-Jatal Road and was used for mining for the last 30 years. The Binjhol Gram Panchayat has given the land for five years on lease and was developed with two submersible pumps and building for cultivation. Regarding the civic amenities to be provided to the dairy owners, the Executive Officer said that in the layout plan, provision has been made for 30 feet wide main road, 20 feet wide side roads, dry feed store, gobar gas plant and pond with open area all around has also been provided at each site. It is also proposed to provide metalled roads, surface drains, piped water supply with independent tubewell, street lighting and proper sanitation facilities, he added. The EO further said that this project had been drawn up by the Central Government under its NCR development programme. But the cost had not been estimated so far as the collectorate rate of land at Binjhol and Khotpura was around Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh per acre and the gram panchayats were interested to have the market rates, Mr Vats added. The cost of the project for shifting of dairies from the urban areas was estimated to be more than Rs 8 crore and 25 per cent land cost of the plot would be recovered as an advance from the dairy owners before the allotment and the balance in five equal half yearly instalments, he added. Mr Vats also clarified that the scheme would be implemented through the local bodies and the funds would be arranged by the Haryana Slum Clearance Board which was proposed to be declared the Nodal Agency with a provision of 10 per cent in the estimates to meet administrative, supervision and training charges. |

About
2,000 Rohtak phones in coma Rohtak, March 31 According to the information, the telephone subscribers who fell victim to laxity of the government employees, mainly belong to Sector 14,Tilak Nagar, Kamla Nagar and power house area. It is learnt that a team of ‘enthusiastic’ employees started a cleanliness drive near the venue of the Cheif Minister’s visit. Some of them dug a deep pit probably for erecting a pole. However, they left the exercise when they noticed a primary telephone cable burried underground. They left the pit as it is and dug the ground at a nearby place. After some time, the safai karamcharis collected the litter, filled it in the pit and set it
ablaze. This negligent activity damaged the telephone cable severely. As a result, nearly 2,000 telephone connections went out of order causing acute hardship to the subscribers. The employees of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) have been engaged in rectifying the fault since Saturday. They said the task could be completed not before than Tuesday if they continued it even during the night. |

Elusive driver arrested after dramatic chase New Delhi, March 31 ASI Shiv Kumar had to fire five rounds from his moving motor cycle to puncture the rear tyres of the truck to force the driver, Kulwant Singh, 30 of Hoshiarpur to stop. The police said that he has been arrested for assaulting a public servant on duty. The constable Sunil Rattan was not seriously injured. He was taken to a hospital and discharged after the first aid. The high noon drama started when the traffic police constable spotted the truck driving recklessly, changing lanes without indicating near the New Police Lines in the Kingsway Camp area. The driver stopped and there ensued an argument. Dutifully, a challan was issued but the driver refused to sign it. The ASI then directed his subordinate to take the driver and the truck to the traffic police zonal office. As soon as the truck reached a spot near Majnu Ka Tilla, the driver and the helper attacked the constable with a stick and threw him out of the vehicle. The ASI who was following the vehicle on his motor cycle saw the incident and then chased the truck. When the driver refused to heed his signals, the ASI whipped out his service revolver and fired five shots bursting both the rear tyres of the truck and forcing it to stop near Seelampur, a trans Yamuna colony. According to the police, the driver then jumped out of the vehicle and armed with a hockey stick tried to attack the ASI who, however, managed to over power him. He finally arrested the driver with the help of the local police and his vehicle impounded. The police said that further investigations were continuing to ascertain if the truck driver had any other cases pending against him. |
