shrouds the death of a 47-year-old Chandigarh-based businessman whose
body was found near the CID building, Panchkula, in Baltana this
afternoon. Though relatives of the victim, R. S. Rathi, allege that he
was murdered, the Railway Police claims that it is a case of suicide.
THE
market gateway to the city, dependent on visitors, sees a drastic drop
in the number of customers because of the installation of iron
barricades on the road divider in front of the Sector 17 bus terminus.
The putting up of barricades, the shifting of a part of bus operations
to Sector 42 Inter-State Bus Terminus and the closure of guest houses
from residential areas have led to the number of customers going down, a
shopkeeper said.
