BLAME GAME Faridabad, July 20 Demanding the transfer of district officials, they condemned the failure of the DC and the SP to reach the spot during the violence. It was an example of the ineptness of the administration. Condemning the demolition of the 30-year-old colony, the leader of the opposition in the Vidhan Sabha and senior Congress leader, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, in a faxed statement here today alleged that the Chautala government was hell-bent on uprooting the poor. Opening fire on innocents and caning people who were demanding justice was the most oppressive form of retaliation. The government had breached all norms of morality and justice. Yesterday’s action was like ‘‘state sponsored terrorism’’ for which Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala was responsible, he added. Instead of taking action against officials who had encouraged encroachments in connivance with others, the government was demolishing houses which were 30 to 40 years old. And that, too, abruptly and without providing any alternative housing site. He also criticised the state BJP for providing support to an ‘anti people’ government which was “terrorising’’ people in one way or another. The people were fed up and ready to throw out the Chautala regime at the earliest. Some Janata Dal (U) leaders, including Mr Ved Prakash Vidrohi, Mr S P Aggarwal (district president), and Mr Rajkumar Gaur, have condemned the police action in Indira Colony. They have sought the resignation of the Chautala government and demanded an end to the demolition drive in Faridabad. The modus operandi of the authorities was reminiscent of the inhuman `treatment’ meted out by foreign invaders in medieval India. They alleged that the government had been patronising the land mafia and punishing the poor in the name of anti-encroachment. The RPI MLA from Palwal, Mr Karan Dalal, said that the demolition drive was used as a weapon by the Chautala regime to terrorise people who did not vote for the INLD. Instead of pulling down the illegal buildings of the land mafia and other influential people, the authorities had cracked the whip on hapless poor who could not afford to pay hefty bribes. |

MCD, NGO to run health centre in partnership New Delhi, July 20 This health centre will cater to the slum dwellers of J J Clusters and of Gautam Puri in Molar Bund. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Ram Babu Sharma, Chairman, Standing Committee, said that it was for the first time that MCD had entrusted its health institution to a NGO. He hoped that the exercise will prove successful and other NGOs would follow suit. The health centre has been equipped with laboratory equipment, which has been provided by the Japanese Government, apart from an ultrasound machine, an x-ray machine and an ambulance. The centre has been built by the MCD under the IPP VIII project. The Aparna Trust will provide doctors specialising in medicine, gynaecology, Obstretics, ENT and Radiology while the MCD will take care of medicines and vaccines. Mr. Ram Babu Sharma also announced that MCD would give a grant of Rs. 2.50 lakh to the trust, keeping in mind the good work done by it. The trust maintains the Bal Vikas Kendra, undertakes sanitation work and horticulture besides running income generating schemes. |

BACKLASH Rohtak, July 20 In a statement here today, Mr Krishan Murti Hooda, a former minister and an HPCC spokesperson, alleged that the ‘‘atrocities’’ of the state government against the common man had crossed all limits. He alleged that the Chautala government had set a record by demolishing the largest number of residential as well as commercial premises all over the state. The Congress leader alleged that the official machinery was being selective in its choice of targets. Terming the ongoing statewide drive as ‘politically motivated’, Mr Hooda alleged that the authorities had been targeting only those areas where the ruling Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) had no vote bank. He further alleged that even the houses of some army men, who were out on the front, had been razed to the ground. For instance, the house of an army man was demolished by the district authorities at Bohar village in Rohtak, even though there had been no violation of building bylaws. The hopes and aspirations of the soldier were shattered as he had spent all his earnings in the construction of the house. Similarly, he alleged, a house constructed by an army man for his daughter in Jhajjar district had been flattened at the behest of an INLD activist. Mr Hooda alleged that the Chautala government had lost the confidence of the masses and it would have to face the music in the forthcoming election. He claimed that the state unit of the Congress, under the leadership of HPCC chief Bhajan Lal, was gaining popularity. |

Gender bias even in medical treatment of infants New Delhi, July 20 A study conducted by a team of scientists from St Stephen’s Hospital and AIIMS in three socio-economically deprived areas found that the number of deaths of baby girls below one year, due to unexplained causes, was three times greater than that of their male counterparts. “Unexplained deaths mean when the cause of death is not ascertained,” Head of the Department of Community Health at St Stephen’s Hospital, Dr Amod Kumar, said. He disclosed that health care workers involved in the study got to know of these deaths during the survey. Usually these were reported as sudden deaths by parents, but some of these may be cases of female infanticide. The three colonies had a population of about 64,000. The findings of the study were published in the British Medical Journal. The study was carried out for a period of five years. Even in the category of treatable diseases, the number of baby girls who died in first year was double than that of baby boys, Dr Kumar said. “It is very unfortunate that diarrhoea, which is a curable disease, was responsible for 22 per cent deaths in children, killing twice as many girls”, Dr Kumar said. Girls between their first and fifth birthdays were 30-50 per cent more likely to die as compared to boys, he revealed. The study was aimed at determining whether the imbalance in the country’s sex ratio could be explained by less favourable treatment of girls in infancy. |

PARADISE
LOST Gurgaon, July 20 Owing to the allegedly cussed approach of the UNITECH authorities, most residents in South City-1 feel cheated in the matter of redressal of their grievances. What has got their goat is the complete lack of response from the authorities, even to the periodic representations from the Resident Welfare Association. Joint petitions by the residents are also not acknowledged. For more than a decade, they have been keeping their fingers crossed, hoping against hope, but the recent downpour was the last straw on the proverbial camel’s back. In the deluge that followed, the lanes converted into ponds, ostensibly due to the inadequate drainage. One resident lamented that he had never imagined he would have to undergo such a harrowing experience. Most of these residents had shifted to South City-1 from the national Capital, in their quest for a better quality of life. Another disappointment has been the UNITECH management’s alleged failure to provide the promised three dozen parks. The builder’s leitmotif is lush green environment. For many, this was the chief attraction. However, except for a park or two, the rest are languishing. Some of these have become convenient pastures for labourers to laze around and answer the nature’s call. Some areas specified as parks in the original layout plan of South City-1 are being used for other purposes. The most glaring instance is the park between block D and E. First, the UNITECH extended its Country Club by usurping the park area to set a lawn tennis court. Then, the other part was enclosed to set up a Jade Garden, which is interconnected with the club, strictly off-limit for the public/residents. This garden is used by the Country Club for commercial purposes. A sum of Rs 40,000 is charged as rent per day from the public for holding social events. Being denied access to the Jade Garden is only one side of a multi-faceted problem. The revelries and the loud music is an untold nuisance, in blatant disregard for the directives of the Supreme Court on the issue, points out a resident. Affected residents have sent numerous representations to the UNITECH authorities, but their pleas have fallen on deaf years. The residents contend that that they should not suffer on account of post-facto amendments in rules and layout plan of the promoters. With the Country Club becoming a commercial centre for non-residents of South City-1, there is a concomitant problem of parking. With the parking slot on the club premises chock-full, most vehicles are parked outside the club gate and in the adjoining lanes. The free run of the South City-1 area by cattle and stray dogs has also become an eyesore. The residents allege that the UNITEC has been constantly hiking the maintenance charge since 1994, but the civic amenities have been constantly deteriorating. The Estate Officer of UNITEC, however, has disputed the allegations of the residents. |

Fewer polling booths in Bhiwani Bhiwani, July 20 The District Election Officer, Mr H. S. Malik, told this correspondent here today that there were 1,233 booths in the last election, which have now been reduced to 1,036. Earlier, he said, one booth was constituted for 1,000 voters, but since the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), the Election Commission has decided to have one booth for every 1,500 voters. However, he said, there had been no reduction in the number of booths in areas with a heavy SC/ST concentration. The booths in each Assembly seat had been carefully inspected by the registration officers, he said. The representatives of all parties had been advised to submit their suggestions after inspecting the lists of polling centres by July 24. The DEO said that full transparency had been maintained while reconstituting the polling centres. Mr Malik also directed the registration officers to give top priority to the preparation of I-cards. He has directed them to organise meetings of patwaris and local officials at the tehsil level, so that the I-cards are completed in time. The names of voters who had died or shifted their residences were yet to be deleted from the lists. |

INLD workers slam Jhajjar MLA Jhajjar, July 20 The meeting was presided over by the district INLD chief and MLA from Bahadurgarh, Mr Nafe Singh Rathee. It was attended by around 200 workers apart from former district president Balwan Singh Suhag, local MLA Dariao Singh Rajora and other local leaders and supporters. The workers raised many issues and charged the local MLA with ignoring them. Many workers alleged that while the Congress supporters are getting government jobs, they are being ignored.

Cong for restoration of services of retrenched workers Rohtak, July 20 In a statement here yesterday, Prof Virender, president, DCC (rural), said that HSMITC had played a key role in draining out the accumulated water from Rohtak and Bhiwani districts during the devastating floods of 1995. He alleged the government had decided to close down the corporation without any specific reason, which had rendered nearly 4,000 employees jobless. Besides, he said the machines and equipments worth several crores, lying in the HSMITC workshop at Karnal, were being destroyed by rust and would be unable to drain out the floodwater in the ensuing rainy season. Prof Virender charged the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, with discriminating against Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonepat and Rewari districts in the matter of distribution of funds to be spent on providing irrigation facilities in the region. Strengthening his allegation, he said the state government received an
amount of Rs 319 crore from NABARD this year for the area being irrigated by Bhakra Canal. He said the native town of the Chief Minister fell in this area. On the contrary, he alleged no budget had been allocated for construction and repair of irrigation channels in certain districts being irrigated by the Western Yamuna Canal, including those of Rohtak, Sonepat, Jhajjar, Rewari etc. He sought a white paper on the number of irrigation channels in the region where repair work were being carried out. |

SOS to CM over non-payment of wages to brick kiln workers Sonepat, July 20 According to a report, some of the workers were even beaten up by the brick-kiln owner and his associates when they approached him for the payment of their wages. Mr Ram Diya Ratewal, president of the district unit of the Brick Kilns Workers Union, alleged here today that the workers were being exploited by the owners of the brick kilns on some pretext or the other, as the district and Labour Department officials have remained a silent spectator. He also alleged that the brick kiln owners were defying the labour laws and the Minimum Wages Act in the absence of any inspection by the district authorities. He urged the Chief Minister, Mr Om Parkash Chautala, to direct the district authorities to intervene and put pressure on the owner of the brick kiln for releasing the wages of the workers without any further delay. He also demanded stern action against the owners of brick kilns who are found violating the labour laws and the Minimum Wages Act and denying the payment of wages to the workers. Meanwhile, a large number of brick kiln workers held a demonstration in front of the District Labour and
Concilliation Officer here yesterday to register their protest against the non-payment of their wages by the owner of the brick kiln. They shouted slogans and submitted a memorandum to the District Labour and Concilliation Officer and demanded stern action against the owner of the brick kiln, who had beaten up the workers and denied their wages. |

SPECIAL
FOCUS ON SONEPAT Sonepat, July 20 The inauguration of the college was a long sought demand of the local MLA, Mr Suraj Mal Antil and the people of more than three dozen villages of the area. However, according to reports, only 36 girl students have so far enrolled themselves for B.A. Part-1 course so far. The last date for admission expires on July 21. As many as 210 seats have been sanctioned by the university for admission in the various courses in Humanities. According to the principal of the college, Mrs Raj Dembla, the government has authorised admissions only in courses of Art streams. Though she admitted that the low admissions rate were below the expectation, the college authorities are hopeful that more students would enrol themselves in the near future. “We will approach the university authorities for extending the last date for the admission and exempting students from the payment of late fees as a special case,” she said. A college lecturer was of the opinion that the delay in opening the admissions process was one of the main causes of the reduction in the enrolment of students as a large number of girls had already applied in colleges in Sonepat. Had the admissions been started simultaneously with other colleges, there would have been more admissions here, said the lecturer. She also pointed out that a large number of students might have preferred to take admission in Sonepat, which is well connected with the villages of the area. The students who had come for admissions also expressed similar views. They demanded that the district administration should make adequate arrangements for roadways buses so that the girls could communicate easily from their villages. In the beginning, the classes will be held in the Government Girls Senior Secondary School. Mr Antil pointed out the construction of the new college building was in full swing and would be completed within six months, as there was no shortage of funds. The college authorities are planning to send their staff members to the various villages of the area to motivate the people to enrol their wards in the college here. |
