Innocuous
on surface, effects of ragging may
New Delhi, June 29 While to most, the aforesaid may seem innocuous, yet there are many for whom the frustration and pain of those harrowing few minutes last for a lifetime. “The psychological impact of ragging, when the intention is to harass, is far greater than when it is done for mutual fun”, says Dr. Samir Parikh, a psychiatrist. He adds: “Ragging is harmful if it is physical, with sexual overtones. Verbal insults, innuendoes and harassment are the kinds that can totally ruin a student’s personality. So, these should be thrown out of the system”. Dr Parikh has grim views on the long-term impact of ragging. He says: “It is during physical ragging that the junior undergoes intense fear, a sense of horror and helplessness, and in the long run he has a high chance of having anxiety disorder, and even post traumatic stress disorder in the future”. He adds: “Sexual ragging also has a similar impact on the psyche as sexual self-esteem is a very important part of a young adult’s life. The memories of the incident can impinge on the long-term social and sexual life of the victim”. Conceding that ragging could be pernicious — suicides and freak accidents resulting in death being some examples — the authorities have done their bit by ordering a ban. In the last academic session the Delhi University made its view on the subject clear by issuing guidelines to all college principals, Deans of Faculties and Provosts of halls/ hostels, to ensure that incidents of ragging and eve teasing are addressed with firmness. The guidelines stipulate that all matters relating to discipline in the Delhi University or affiliated colleges and institutions will be governed by Ordinance XV (B), which defines acts of gross indiscipline. The guidelines also underscore that special care must be taken to avoid harassment of any student on the basis of caste, sex and religion. “The Supreme Court, in its orders, clearly says that there should not be any ragging on college premises. To ensure compliance with the apex court’s orders, these guidelines have been issued by the Delhi University,’’ said an official. Though authorities maintain the colleges have significantly curbed cases of ragging, students have a different tale to tell. “We were humiliated in the hostel, is all I can say. It just disturbs me too much to think of it,” says Punit (name changed), who had to leave the hostel because he “refused to strip”. Though the debate on ragging in colleges drags on, with even the students polarised, health experts are anxious about the damage to the psyche of the recipient. Doctors warn that when students take the line that ragging is for fun and that it helps juniors know seniors better, they need to understand the effects of their actions, especially in the future. While there have been cases of ragging resulting in suicide, health experts point out that aggression, anxiety disorders, depression and prejudice are also a fallout of ragging. “Many students drop out of colleges as they are unable to handle the pressure of ragging. The effort the student had put in to enter the college is wasted and the effects linger life-long,” points out Dr. Parikh.  |

Turkman Gate mishap: Builders, owner held New Delhi: The police today claimed to have arrested the owner and two builders of the collapsed building in Turkman Gate. Two lives were lost in the mishap yesterday. While the owner, Basheer Ahmed (70), has been sent to judicial custody the two builders, Saleem and
Mehtab, were remanded in police custody. However, the police said the third builder, identified as

No band, no dhol, and just 11 baratis Noida, June 29 Taking a cue from the decision taken by the Gujjar community in a `maha panchayat’ last month, Hari Kishen Bhatti of Palla village and Hoshiar Singh of Raipur village in Dadri married off their sons to the daughters of Jai Pal of Dairy Muchh village. The marriage parties went without the usual paraphernalia of a band or beating of drums. In fact, only 11 baratis accompanied the groom to the venue. And, for once, the marriage was solemnised without any dowry or gifts exchanging hands. A prominent Gujjar activist, Bir Singh, who is spearheading the drive, has vowed to honour those families which went in for simple marriages and did not accept dowry. Recently, a few girls like Nisha Sharma of Noida and Anupama and Farzana of New Delhi have taken up cudgels against dowry, teaching the dowry-seekers a lesson. The Gujjar Samaj had announced the start of a campaign against dowry in a `maha panchayat’ last month. Those who sought dowry would be excommunicated from the society, the congregation had decided. Now, Hari Kishen and Hoshiar Singh have taken a lead in this direction. Incidentally, the marriage was
solemnised in four hours. |

NEGLIGENCE New Delhi, June 29 This power house was installed by the ministry in collaboration with a leading power company of Denmark, Wolund, with an initial investment of Rs 20 crore to produce energy from garbage. In March 1987, it was inaugurated with fanfare by the then Prime minister of Denmark. At the time of its inauguration, it was claimed that the project would generate 3.75 MW of electricity from 300 tonnes of garbage every day. But that claim never saw the light of the day and the power house failed in its maiden trial run. At that time the engineers from Denmark associated with this project claimed that because of the “very low quality” of garbage available, it was difficult to run the machines in the power house. The minimum requirement was 1465 calorie per kg of garbage. But despite efforts by the Indian engineers associated with the project, they could not organise any garbage from the NCR area with a calorie level of more than 600. And ultimately, in June 1990, it was closed down. Now, the ministry is toying with the idea of selling off this power house but there are no takers. Sources close to the ministry said, had a feasibility report been taken before the installation, the project would not have met such a fate. |

SPECIAL FOCUS ON SONEPAT Sonepat, June 29 According to information, the price of a DAP bag has been increased by Rs 46.20 and that of a urea bag by Rs 21.16. Before April, a DAP bag was being sold by the co-operative societies for Rs 440 and a urea bag for Rs 230. After the government announced implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) in the state, from April 1 this year, the fertiliser prices had increased. The increase was opposed by the farmers, ‘kisan’ unions and political parties as well. Several memorandums were sent to the CM for withdrawal of the increase. About three days back, the CM, in a programme of the HAU at
Hisar, announced the withdrawal of the increase. But before the ‘kisan’ unions could thank the CM, the largest cooperative institution, HAFED, sent a letter to mini-banks and the co-operative societies to sell a DAP bag at the price of Rs 467 and a urea bag for Rs 241.50. The HAFED authorities also directed to charge four per cent VAT on the new prices. As a consequence, the price of a DAP bag has now gone up to Rs 486.20 and that of a urea bag to Rs 251.16. The fertiliser distributing agencies of the Government have already started charging new prices from the farmers. The farmers are now left with no other option than to purchase the fertilisers at the new increased prices as, it is the peak time for paddy plantation and sowing of other kharif crops.

Insufficient
canal water adds
to farmers’ woes Sonepat, June 29 Despite several complaints to the authorities, the farmers here are facing acute shortage of canal water. The supply of canal water is insufficient even during rotation period, the farmers say. Many farmers alleged that the repeated announcements made by the Chief Minister, Mr Om Parkash Chautala, regarding the supply of canal water at the tail-end villages, had only proved a hoax. The authorities of the irrigation department have failed to ensure the supply of canal water at the tail-end fields, the farmers said. They also said that all their complaints made to the authorities concerned in this regard have fallen on deaf ears. Secretary of the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee, Azad Singh Nehra, blamed the CM for adopting a discriminatory attitude towards the farmers of Sonepat and Rohtak district not only on the issue of canal water supply but also development works. Talking to mediapersons here today, he alleged that the people and farmers of these districts have been facing water and power crisis for the past three decades and this has caused strong resentment among them. The farmers, he said, have been suffering huge financial losses on account of power and water crisis. He urged the Chief Minister to take immediate and effective steps for augmenting the supply of water and power in these districts so that the farmers could get adequate canal water for irrigation purposes. He said if the government failed to tackle this problem, the farmers in these districts would revolt against the present government. |
