INLD govt flayed for police firing Chandigarh, July 20 Terming the police action as “government-sponsored terrorism” against the people, Mr Hooda alleged that Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala was responsible for spoiling the peaceful atmosphere prevailing in that area. Mr Hooda accused Mr Chautala of trying to distract the attention of the people and the administration from the real problems facing the electorate. He said the police firing could not replace a negotiated settlement in a democratic setup. He said one failed to understand why the Chief Minister was demolishing those colonies where electricity supply, water supply and telephone services had been maintained by the government for years. The government must provide alternative sites before demolishing such colonies. |

Genome study a revolution, says Pathak Ambala, July 20 Speaking at the installation ceremony of Rotary Club of Ambala, Dr
K.N. Pathak said the study of human genome had proved to be beneficial in diseases, particularly, the specific genes that cause several congenital diseases like thalassaemia and
leukemic. In information technology, Prof Pathak said telemedicine was one of the biggest advantages. “It has enabled us to receive specialists and resources from renowned medical centres across the country. The
PGI, Chandigarh, AIIMS, New Delhi, and SGPGI, Lucknow, have already been connected via telecommunication,” he said. Earlier, Mr Ajay Aggarwal took over as the new president of the Rotary Club here. While Mr Perminder Sharma became the new Rotaract President, Mr Devender Bhola was the new Interact president and Mr Sharda Joshi became the new Inner Wheel president.

Educating students on road safety
Karnal, July 20 The beginning of “long-term strategy in traffic education and awareness” which will be made available from tomorrow in the schools of Panipat and Faridabad districts will soon be implemented in the whole state. Informing this, Mr Saurav Singh, SSP Haryana Highway Patrol and Road Safety, said the minds of the students in schools “are still impressionable and they can easily be made aware of the rules of the traffic and road safety like the use of reflections, helmets and seat-belt in a better way”. “Challans serve as part of a short-term strategy as against education and awareness which are part of the strategy,” Mr Saurav Singh opined. He said Sub-Inspectors and Assistant Sub-Inspectors operating at the traffic and centres in the districts had been specially trained. They would go to the schools equipped with “written material” and deliver lessons in necessary rules after the school assembly, the SSP stated. Besides quizzes, essay competitions on road safety would also be organised, he added. Students, below 18 years of age, would be barred from bringing two-wheelers to the schools in the state. This would be done with the help of the school managements, he said.
