Huge bungling in Appu Ghar allotment in Noida Noida, May 28 The forum, in a letter to Chief Minister Mayawati, has demanded a CBI probe into the scandal, which has surpassed even the alleged bungling in Sector 18 commercial allotments in 1994-95. (A commission headed by Justice Murtaza Hussain had conducted a probe into the 1994-95 allotments; a number of officials, including the Noida chairperson, Ms Neera Yadav, had been interrogated in this connection.) According to the forum, the promoters of Appu Ghar have been allotted 140 acres of land at a throwaway rate of Rs 1,904 per square metre. The allottees have been permitted to develop 15 percent of the land for commercial use. This, the forum organiser Joginder Awana says, is scandalous as it amounts to change in land use which, under the bylaws, even the Noida Authority is not empowered to permit. The Sector 18 traders’ association fears that the development augurs ill for business. ``Another reason for heartburn is that the land has been allotted at a rate much lower than that charged from us in this sector seven to nine years ago,” president of the Sector 18 Commercial Association, Promode Chauhan, said. The current rate in Sector 18 is Rs 2.75 lakh per square metre. The value of the prime land, which the promoters of Appu Ghar have been allowed to develop as a commercial area, comes to Rs 240 crore, according to Mohd Mustafa, general secretary of the Sector 18 Traders Association. Had the authority sold this land at the market rate, it could have earned crores of rupees, it is contended. “Who is responsible for this colossal loss?” asks Mr Awana. The officials have not only deprived the state government of a huge amount, but have also lined their own pockets, he alleged. Mr Awana further alleged that the Noida officials in their eagerness to help the allottee had also allotted eight acres of adjacent graveyard land to the latter. Local Muslim organisations have been trying to retrieve this chunk of graveyard land for the last one year. The CEO of the Noida authority was out of station and repeated attempts to get the response of the officials to the allegations levelled by the rural forum proved futile. |

Drive against corruption in building department runs aground Panipat, May 28 While thousands of buildings and commercial complexes were built in gross violation of the building bye-laws, the department concerned had allegedly been turning a blind eye to it. A perusal of the records of the department revealed that only a few notices had been issued to the violators of the building bye-laws and a majority of them had been left off the hook for reasons best known to the officials. And Mr Bhatia has been urging the government to bring out the truth and punish the guilty. But his silence on the issue now speaks volumes about the political pressure. It may be recalled that after the abolition of octroi in September 1, 1999, development charges from the new buildings have become a major source of income for the municipality. While the department dithered in enforcing the bye-laws in the case of new constructions, legal recourse was also allegedly not taken in a majority of the cases by the department, raising doubts about its impartial functioning. All these years, the officials of the department had been minting money, sources alleged. It may be recalled that Mr Bhatia, who wrote to the department about a year back to fix responsibility for the alleged irregularities in the records since 1999, allegedly did not receive any satisfactory reply. Tired at the delaying tactics, he shot off a letter, a copy of which was forwarded to the DC, to the Local Bodies Commissioner. However, after that, he seemed to have developed cold feet. It is learnt that during 1999-2000 only 177 notices were issued to the violators of building bye-laws. The figure went up to 231 during 2000-2001 although thousands of building were built during these years. The rest of the cases were settled by the officials “under the table”, it is alleged. What is surprising is the fact that certain columns in the registers were left blank, thus leaving scope for the entry at a later stage with a view to “blackmailing” the builders. Denouncing the “pick and choose” policy of the staff, a senior resident of the city has called for action against the guilty. Sources in the civic body said that many heads were likely to roll in what appeared to be a mega scam. |

Delhi Govt has disturbed parity of stamp duty: BJP New Delhi, May 28 Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Legislative Assembly Prof Jagdish Mukhi on Wednesday told media persons the notification issued by the Government of NCT of Delhi pertains only to “sale and agreement to sell” and ignores the other 12 modes of transferring immovable properties. In July 2001 the Government of NCT of Delhi increased the stamp duty on all the 13 conveyance from three per cent to eight per cent. But, says Mukhi, the notification issued recently reduces the stamp duty only on conveyance of sale and agreement to sell (immovable properties) by three per cent. “The stamp duty on the remaining conveyance is still eight per cent. The reduced rate shall not be applicable on conveyance of lease whereas even today most of the properties in NCT of Delhi are on lease. So, most of the properties purchased from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) shall be attracting eight per cent stamp duty on conveyance,” he told reporters. Mukhi says the government has committed a “mistake” by not adopting the proper procedure for changing the rates of stamp duty. “As per notification, the government has used the powers conferred upon it by Section 9 of the Indian Stamp Act. This Section 9 gives the government powers to reduce or remit the duty on instrument/s belonging to a particular class of persons or in favour of any members of such class. Mukhi says the “proper”course would have been to amend the Schedule I-A of the Indian Stamp Act. “In July 2001, when the government increased the stamp duty from three per cent to eight per cent, it had amended this schedule,” he asserts and also quotes Finance Minister Mahinder Singh Saathi who in his Budget speech said the reduction of stamp duty “shall be given effect through a statutory amendment in the Indian Stamp Act, 1989 which is a Central legislation.” “In spite of the categorical announcement in the Budget speech,” Mukhi told reporters, “The government has not amended the schedule I-A of the Indian Stamp Act.” Why, he wanted to know, did the government take shelter under Section 9 that empowers the government only to remit or reduce stamp duty on any particular class of persons. |

SPECIAL FOCUS ON PANIPAT Panipat, May 28 Especially concerned for the underprivileged, he fought for the rights of the community in a disciplined manner. Under his able guidance, several leaders of the present generation set up their enterprises. His journey started from a village called Franswala in Kaithal district. His father was a soldier in the British Army and fought against Germany in Second World War at Belgium and France. He came to Panipat in 1964 and settled in this town. A great environmentalist, Changi Ram was extremely concerned over the depleting ground water level and impending crisis. His concerns found shape through his brainchild organization, called Manav Kalyan Sewa Samiti. Under this Organization, Center for Health, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Innovation and Technology for All-round Transformation (HABITAT) was established on main HUDA road in sector 25 in Panipat. A chain of such centres has been started in other districts of the country as well. A model of such centre was also shown to members of Parliament in Delhi earlier this month. Under his inspiration, in May last year, Water Conservation Day was celebrated at village Machharauli of Panipat district. A water conservation, restoration and recharging strategy was drawn out on that date. The work is in process and Tata Energy Research Institute, Central Ground Water Authority,
Jawahar Lal Nehru University, Delhi, Haryana Remote Sensing Agency, Government of Haryana, Weginienen University of Holland and Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University have been approached for finding solution to solve the problem of depleting water levels in Samalkha Block of Panipat district. He also inspired “ The Manthan Padyatra “ conducted last year in the Samalkha Block. Though this Yatra the campaign of production of poisonless crops, saving the water and enrichment of rural environment started. The Yatra was being hailed as a model not only in the country but has been noticed for replication by the United Nations Agencies. Chaudhary Changi Ram’s contribution in rural environment protection through promotion of conservation agriculture, organic farming, rural industrialization and promotion of Ayurveda became a replicable model not only in India but was noticed by the United Nation agencies as well. The model advocates reliance on indigenous knowledge and breeds of animals and seeds, indigenous source of fertilization and biological pesticides. The economics of this model was calculated and presented to the Chief Minister of Haryana Ch. Om Prakash Chautala in May last year by Dr. Jagveer Rawat , which pointed out that the organic agriculture could be promoted through large cooperatives of single crops producing large volume of produce but would always require support and protection of the participating farmers from the clutches of the shrewd traders. A “Counter Guarantee” scheme was offered to the Chief Minister in this regard and all the farmers of Samalkha Block have ratified the same. The scheme for providing ‘ agriculture measure of support ‘ to participating farmers in organic agriculture under World Trade Organization provisions is possible and this indirect subsidy of Rs.2, 000 per acre has been demanded by the farmers. The legend was also instrumental in getting established autonomous organizations like FICCI for agriculturists called “ The Federation of Chamber of Agriculture, Trade and Services “ or FICATS. The organization will shortly be launched with active support of all the political parties, experts, scientists, farmers, farm-labourers, women’s groups, NGOs and is likely to be headed by one of the renowned ‘cooperative’ persons , Mr. Varghese Kurrien on the recommendation of Chaudhary Changi Ram. His penchant for environmental protection has motivated “ Manav Kalyan Sewa Samiti “ and its HABITAT Centre to announce an annual ‘ The Chaudhary Chandgi Ram Rawal Environment Stewardship Award”. The award will be presented in the form of a Memorial Shield, a plaque-cum-citation, a HABITAT Head Gear and a cheque of Rs 5,100 to any organization or individual of the developing nations for making significant improvement in the state of environment in its immediate habitat. The Award Committee in its first meeting decided the first Award for the Year 2002-03, which would be given to The Panipat Co-operative Sugar Mills, Panipat. |

THE ACHIEVERS New Delhi, May 28 Awestruck family members chanced upon Dhruv’s genius not so long ago. The ability came to light when he was being quizzed by a cousin and Dhruv, instead of replying straight, started speaking backwards. While the family is hoping that reputed schools in the city will take note of their son’s brilliance, Dhruv himself nurses the dream of becoming a computer engineer. “We want to meet the President and the Vice President and show them Dhruv’s talent. We want him to be enrolled in a good school in Delhi, so that he gets the best of education”, says Ramesh Gairola, Dhruv’s father. Dhruv’s ability, claim doctors, is sheer marvel. While there are no scientific reasons to explain this ability, the common refrain is that it is a gift from God. “We think it is God’s gift to Dhruv and we hope there are other talents in him waiting to be explored”. Apart from his unique ability, Dhruv is a good student and has been diligently put in hobby classes to make the most of his summer vacation. A student of class XI in Apeejay, Noida, Dhruv is the star of his class and of his neighbourhood. Visitors keep dropping in to watch err… hear Dhruv converse in what seems a strange language. Though the task is effortless for Dhruv, the boy wonder is quite choosy, he speaks only when he wishes to. |
