Durga Puja, Ram Lila under security cover this year New Delhi, September 26 Senior Delhi Police officers said that considering the threat perception from across the border special security measures were in place for this year’s festival season. The press conference was attended by all the three Joint Commissioners of Police – Mr Maxwell Pereira (New Delhi), Mr Satish Chandra (South) and Mr Ranjit Narayan (North). The Deputy Commissioners of Police, who were present at the meeting, were: Vivek Gogia (South), Satish Golcha (West), Sanjay Beniwal (North), Praveer Ranjan (North-East), Nuzhat Hassan (East), Arvind Deep (Central) and Manoj Lall (New Delhi). This year more than 200 major Durga Pujas, 689 Ram Lilas and more than 100 Ravana ‘dahan’ (burning) are being organised. In case of emergencies, the Delhi Police has contingency arrangements assisted by the Delhi Fire Service, hospitals and the bomb disposal squads. Mr Pereira said a number of restrictions had been imposed for the people visiting the puja pandal this year. Carrying baggage, cameras, tiffin boxes and water bottles was out. Besides, the Ram Lila committees had been asked to restrict their shows strictly till 11 am. Mr Satish Chandra, while stressing on the role of volunteers in crowd management, said frisking, checking and regulation of devotees would be largely left to these volunteers and only if a situation arose where the policemen kept on standby at the puja venue were needed would they intervene. “The puja management committees have been instructed to strictly follow the dos and don’ts to ensure a safe festive season,” he added. About the number of fake or hoax calls received by the police during the festival season, Mr Narayan said the police had the requisite infrastructure to trace such callers and punish them. “But at the same time we take all calls seriously,’’ he added. The main Ram Lilas are held near the Red Fort where as many as four Ram Lilas are organised. |

PUBLIC FRAUD New Delhi, September 26 The accused, Jai Prakash (53), a former cashier with the Special Assessment Unit (SAU), MCD, was arrested by the sleuths yesterday after an audit revealed that he had allegedly diverted money deposited by individuals towards house and property tax to different heads, such as ‘’salary account,’’ in the balance books. Deputy Commissioner of Police (EOW) Dinesh Bhatt said Jai Prakash ‘’fraudulently diverted’’ Rs 1.33 crore between October 4, 2000, and March 3, 2001. Of this, Rs 21 lakh still remained unaccounted for. Apart from receipt of house and property tax, the accused was responsible for disbursement of salaries and other contingent payments. The Drawing and Disbursing Officer and some other officials of the accounts department were also responsible since they ‘’failed to check the functioning with monthly reconciliation of the accounts. Investigations were on to ascertain the complicity of others,” Mr Bhatt added. In another case, a junior engineer of the MCD, Anzarul Hassan, was nabbed by the Economic Offences Wing on charges of forging signatures of various senior officials in the MCD to promote his own case. Apart from the signatures, produced from advanced softwares, he also attached two recommendation letters from MPs to get a raise and recognition for his work.

Mashelkar, Director-General of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), is being honoured with the prestigious Medal of Engineering Excellence by the World Federation of Engineering Organisation for his outstanding contributions to the practice, theory and public status of engineering.

SC rejects farmers’ plea on land compensation Gurgaon, September 26 Although thousands of farmers in more than a dozen villages in Gurgaon subdivision will be adversely affected by the decision of the apex court, the turning down of the appeal has immediate repercussions for the farmers of Jharsa, Kanhi, Islampur and Samaspur villages. The farmers had filed a special leave petition. The high court had reduced the enhanced compensation amount fixed by the local district court. The district court had upheld an appeal of the farmers against the original compensation amount fixed by the Land Acquisition Collector of HUDA. The farmers responded by moving the high court, praying before it for further enhancement of the amount. HUDA also moved the high court in appeal against the decision of the lower court, contending that the compensation amount fixed was on the higher side. While the amount fixed by the district court was Rs 265/sq yd, the high court had reduced it to Rs 212 /sq yd. The lower court had directed HUDA to pay the enhanced compensation amount fixed by it with a caveat that the payment be made against counter guarantees procured from the beneficiaries. In a large number of cases the farmers used their relatives and friends and their land as bond to draw the money. With a large number of farmers left with smaller land holdings — which had shrunk on account of constant acquisitions over the years — and depleted earnings, they used the acquired money to meet their social obligations. It is then that the high court’s judgement came, necessitating HUDA to launch a drive to recover the balance amount from
them. Following the HUDA drive to recover the balance amount, the farmers had launched an agitation under the banner of Gurgaon Kisan Sangharsh Panchayat to impress upon the Bansi Lal government to use its administrative and legislative powers to circumvent the ruling of the court. The INLD leaders, who were then in the opposition, had also taken part in the agitation. The farmers allege that Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala (then in opposition) had assured the farmers that should his party come to power the compensation amount would be further enhanced. But when the INLD came to power its leaders forgot the promise. |

on morning stroll kidnapped at pistol-point Meerut, September 26 According to some eyewitnesses, the car registration number was DL-7C/3334. According to the family members, Rastogi had a shop at Sadar Bazar. Three of his brothers are also in the same business. Ashok Kumar left home at 6 am for a morning walk as part of his daily routine. He had hardly walked 400 meters on the busy Western Court road when four youths in their mid-30s intercepted him and hustled him into the Indica car. Ashok Kumar and some passersby raised the alarm. When the businessman did not return home till 9.45am, the worried family members contacted the Civil Line police station. Later, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Meerut Range, Mr Gurdarshan Singh, the SSP, Mr Badri Prasad Singh, and the SP (City), Dr Arvind, rushed to the spot. They also interrogated some eyewitnesses and passersby but failed to get any lead, except the registration number of the car used in the crime. Further inquiries revealed that this was the registration number of a Maruti 800. No ransom call or any message had been received till 3 pm today. The DIG told the NCR Tribune that four teams had been constituted to crack the case and a police party had been despatched to conduct raids. |

Condition
of fasting student deteriorates Greater Noida: The condition of one of the students of Galgotia Engineering College, Alok Mishra, who is on a fast unto death in protest against the fee hike, has deteriorated, but no one from the district administration or the college management has bothered to meet the students. While the students had handed over a memorandum to the BJP president, Mr Venkaiah Naidu, yesterday, the college management had not bothered to meet the DM who had summoned the authorities for discussing the situation. Students said the management was playing with their lives. A large number of students have not been able to fill the examination admission forms, the last date for which is September 26. The management had threatened that those who did not cough up Rs 60,000 by September 26 would not be allowed to fill their examination forms. The students also alleged that the district administration was helpless before the college management. This was apparent when the DM, Mr L. Venketeshwar Lu, disclosed that the college Chairman Sunil Galgotia had not bothered to respond to summons from the DM’s office.

Non-registered pump owners to face the wrath Gurgaon, September 26 According to an official version, though about 9,0000 pumps have been registered, there are several times more pumps operating in the district. The Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) had placed major portion of Gurgaon city and about 80 villages surrounding it in the ‘danger zone’ on account of the fast depleting underground water. The CGWA put the entire susceptible area under notice and directed the administration to stem the rot. The CGWA and the district administration had launched an exercise more than a year ago to inform the people to register their pumps. However, majority of them had not heeded the administration’s call. Now, with the expiry of the deadline, the administration has cracked the whip against those who are making money by selling water through tankers. In fact, the water tanker owners have been chosen as the first target of the district administration. The administration has given broad indication that there will be no let up against the commercial tankers who have been illegally exploiting the underground water. According to sources, there are hundreds of tankers operating in the city and the nearby villages. Other people involved in illegally exploiting the underground water or not using water judiciously would be brought into the net at a later stage. The administration has already sealed the pumps of about 36 commercial users in its month-long campaign. The tough stand taken by the administration has scared the people, particularly the commercial tanker owners, who are belatedly looking for options to get their pumps registered. The Deputy Commissioner, Gurgaon, Mr Anurga Rastogi, has indicated that the Central Ground Water Authority would not oblige the late comers. The administration believes that it had provided a one-year timeframe for the registration process and the defaulters cannot blame the administration for the tough stand on the issue. |

SPECIAL
FOCUS
ON JHAJJAR/BAHADURGARH Jhajjar, September 26 Since this sector was developed about 20 years ago, HUDA had promised the residents all modern facilities and essential civic amenities. However, this sector is a telling example of the miserable conditions in which the residents have to live due to the lack of even the minimum basic facilities like sewage and drainage system, roads, parks etc. The residents complained that despite repeated representation to the local officials of the concerned departments, there has been no improvement in the living condition. Mr Rajeev Tehlan, an advocate who shifted to the sector recently, repents his decision to settle here. He said the conditions here are totally opposite to what he had thought before shifting here. The most serious problem is the back flow of the sewerage water into the house, he said. He said even though the residents have complained to the authorities a number of times, there has been no improvement in the condition here. The monsoon rains has damaged most of the roads in the colony. The potholes on the road filled with rainwater, has become dangerous for the commuters, said Naresh Kumar, another resident in the colony. He said water is being discharged in an open ground opposite the colony, which has become a health hazard for the people living around the colony. He complained that the people living around the area were using the 600 odd plots lying vacant in the sector as garbage dumps. The people in the colony also complaint about the absence of parks. Though there are about 14 park sites in the sector, Huda has no plan to develop these sites. In effect, these have now turned into havens for pigs and stray animals, which feed on the heaps of garbage thrown around. Although, a park in the name of Choudhary Devi Lal was developed along the National Highway No. 10, it is unapproachable for the residents living in the interiors and on the other end of the colony. The Resident Welfare Association (RWA) faced the ire of the people, which was disbanded recently for not taking up their problems strongly with the authorities. Mr Rajeev Tellan informed that a new executive body would be elected next month and the process of registration of members has begun. The residents hope that things would improve when the new RWA would come into existence. |

SPEAKING
OUT
AT present, Shahdara Railway Junction is one of the most important railway junctions of the Northern Railways. The population of trans-yamuna is more than 38,0000 and 50,000 daily commuters use the Shahdara junction. At the moment, 91 trains stop here. Being an important railway stations, the passengers’ amenities as well as trains facility given by the Railway Board are quite insufficient and is totally neglected one. The authorities are showing step-motherly attitudes to the Shahdara junction. On October 9, 2002, the Railway Board introduced a new train between Delhi and Kotdwasr, namely ‘Garhwal Express’, especially for the public of two states - Uttranchal and Bijnor district. The train leaves Delhi junction at 6.55 hrs. But, the train does not stop at Shahdara Railway Junction, while there are hundreds of passengers are living in trans-yamuna and they travel their native places time to time. It causes a great inconvenience to them. If the Garhwal Express is made to stop at Shahdara Railway Junction for a minute or so, it will not create any difficulty to the administration. On the other hand, hundreds of passengers will benefit and will also generate income to the railway department. Moreover, we suggest that the train should be renamed as ‘Kotdwar Express’ instead of ‘Garhwal Express’ as Garhwal is not a destination station and confuses the public. Will the authorities of the railway look into the matter and provide its stoppages at Shahdara Railway Junction from the both sides, without any further delay? M. B. DUBEY BIJNORI,

Malpractices in private public schools This is with reference to the reports ‘When schools shun weak students’ (NCR Tribune, September 16) and ‘HSEB does some soul searching to arrest falling education standards’ (NCR Tribune, September 20). In the first report, it is stated that certain schools affiliated to the CBSE, in order to maintain their ‘Pass Records’, force their weak students to appear as private candidates or seek transfer to other schools. In the second report, Mr Rakesh Gupta, secretary of the Haryana School Education Board, is stated to have said that at least 50 per cent of the private schools recognised by the Board, had been involved in fraudulent practices. This is a most disturbing trend and needs to be curbed. In this connection, I wish to say that these private public schools, run by resourceful societies, trusts and individuals, do not care for any government department or education board and have become a law unto themselves. This defiance by the private schools, forced the Education Department of Haryana to enact the Haryana School
Education Act, 1995, and promulgate the Haryana School Education Rules, 2003, which were published in the Haryana Government Gazette (extra), April 30, 2003. The act and the rules give adequate powers to the Director of School Education, Haryana, to rein in erring private public schools, indulging in crass commercialism, fraudulent practices and financial exploitation of the parents. It is learnt that Associations of Private Schools, affiliated to the CBSE and those affiliated to HSEB (Haryana) School Education Board), have come together and are agitating for toning down of certain provisions of the Haryana School
Education Act and the Haryana School Education Rules, 2003. It is hoped that any pressure from the private public schools to amend some provisions of the said act shall be strongly resisted by the government to curb malpractices and commercialisation of school education in Haryana. O. P. SHARMA, Faridabad Civil Lines halt The proposal for railway halt between Civil Road and Sonepat Road on Rohtak-Panipat branch line at Rohtak was taken up with the Railways by us in 1994 in view of its strategic importance. The stoppage would help two lakh people settled in a number of colonies within the periphery of the halt site. The financial viability of the proposal was duly examined by the Northern Railway Headquarters at the instance of Railway Board and a detailed report to that effect was sent by them to Board for consideration vide Letter No 51-Rd/1309/91 dated 5.1.98. The report showed a deficit of Rs 134 per day on the provision of the passengers’ amenity. Interestingly, the Railway Board termed this nominal amount as a huge recurring loss and the proposal was rejected vide letter No 95/TG-IV/3/N/16/NR dated 24.12.98. The attention of the then Minister of State for Railways was drawn in our letter No. RWA/MOS/99/1 dated 4.1.99 to this callousness. However, the minister, in his letter No MOS(R)/B/11143/99 dated 28.1.99, assured us that he was having the matter re-examined. The assurance was repeated in his letters No MOS (R)/B/11523/99 dated 11.2.99 and No MOS(R)/B/13223 dated 17.5.99. The Board perhaps found it inconvenient to roll back the extraneous and futile reasons applied by them in rejection of the proposal. And the fall out therefore is that the proposal has been kept in limbo since then in spite of repeated reminders from us. We had also sent our latest representation to the Executive Director, Ms Padmakshi Raheja, on April 19, 2003. We haven’t received a word from the Railway Board since January 1999. We hope that the Railway Board will translate the minister’s assurance into worthwhile action to put a happy end to this controversy. H. L.
Pawan, Mansarovar Residents Welfare Association,
Rohtak Gulf between private and govt schools Performance of the private schools in Board examinations mostly remains better than that of government schools. Only teachers are not fully responsible for poor performance shown by the students of government schools. There are other reasons as well. Ideally, students study in government schools belongs to poor families. Most of the parents of these students are quite ignorant about education and they don’t care about them at home. Besides, the students have to do household chores and other agricultural works. They get very little time for study. They cannot afford costly
tuitions also. Secondly, posts in government schools remain vacant throughout the year. Newly upgraded schools remain understaffed for many years. But private schools are never short of staff. Though the teachers are exploited there, they have not to do extra-educational work, like elections duty and census etc. Consequently, the students of private schools do not suffer. While in government schools the students do suffer. In private schools, the syllabus of one board class is taught for two years. To be clear, the syllabus of eighth standard is taught in seventh as well as in eighth classes. In this way, the students of private schools show good performance in the Board examinations. They are not able to cover and understand the syllabi of seventh and ninth classes and so remain ignorant about those
untaught books. Besides, private schools try to admit only intelligent and brilliant students. Other students like average and above average students are denied admissions. But this does not happen in government schools. And the new rationalisation policy being adopted by education department in Haryana will only aggravate the already dismal situation. In this policy, only one teacher is required for sixty students. Despite all these reasons, teachers of government schools cannot be absolved in
to of their responsibility for the poor performance shown in Board exams. There are some unscrupulous elements in government schools who remain negligent and lackadaisical in
their attitude towards their work and thus cause a lot of harm to the students. KARAN SINGH YADAV, Rewari Rename the varsity This is with reference to the report ‘Chautala defends setting up of Sirsa varsity’ (NCR Tribune, September 16). The universities in India are established by an act of either the State Legislature or Parliament. Ch Devi Lal University at Sirsa came into being by an Act of the Haryana government a few months back. When Haryana came into being as an independent state of India in November, 1966, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra (KUK), was in existence. This university came into being by an act of the composite Punjab Legislature in May, 1956. The university’s character remained residential until June 30, 1974. On this date, 105 colleges affiliated with Punjab University, Chandigarh, were transferred to KUK. The Bansi Lal
government established another university at Rohtak. Which came into force on April 19, 1976. The university’s name was changed in 1977, by a government headed by Ch Devi Lal from Rohtak
University to MDU. In November 1995, the Haryana government headed by Ch Bhajan Lal established another university in Hisar, Guru Jambheshwar University (GJU). This is virtually a residential university till date. Bansi Lal’s
government had established Rohtak University and Bhajan Lal’s government established GJU and Ch Devi Lal was also supposed to establish a university in Haryana, but could not. Devi Lal’s son Om Prakash Chautala has got the university established in the name of Ch Devi Lal at Sirsa. I would suggest renaming this university as ‘Dvison University of Haryana’, Sirsa.
