Land record system goes online Kurukshetra, October 7 Talking to mediapersons, Mr Maha Singh said the new system would save time and energy of the farmers, who used to approach patwaris and tehsildars again and again to get their work done. Explaining the working of the system, the Deputy Commissioner, Mr Abhilaksh Likhi, said once the deed was written by the deed-writer or through computer, the applicant would approach the registry clerk for the registration of the document. After the verification of the documents and marking them, the data-entry operator would enter the details in the software for registering the document. For four selected villages — Narkatari, Khaspur, Jirbari and Kainthal Khurd — farmers’ ownership data would be fetched from the existing data of “jamabandi” available on the server. After completing the process of registering the document, the operator would print photo detail, endorsement and “parcha registry”. After verification and adopting the present manual system, the concerned authority then would verify and sanction the registered document online. The data and land records of the remaining villages of Thanesar tehsil would be linked soon, Mr Likhi added. Mr Likhi assured that the revenue records pertaining to all the villages under Thanesar tehsil would be feeded to the HALRIS system within the next two months and awareness camps for farmers would be organised at district as well as village levels to educate the farmers regarding the HALRIS system. Yamunanagar: Mr Maha Singh inaugurated the Haryana Land Record Information System and the Haryana Registry Information System at the Mini-Secretariat here. Mr Vijayendra Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, said a module to ensure simultaneous mutations of the land records had also been incorporated in the software under which the notice for effecting mutation would be issued immediately on presentation of sale deed. |

Chaugama panchayat seeks support of Ahlawat khaap Rohtak, October 7 In the message sent to the 27 villages inhabited by Ahlawat gotra residents, the Chaugama panchayat has given details of the incident of October 3 in which the police personnel, including the Senior
Superintendent of Police, pulled the women of Garhi by their plaits in the presence of their elders and senior citizens of the village when they made an attempt to meet the Chief Minister at Sampla. They had gone to request Mr Om Parkash Chautala to direct the police to trace two missing persons of Garhi- truck driver Naresh and cleaner Azad- who are missing for the past one year. The panchayat which met at Sampla today under the chairmanship of Mr Duli Chand, former Sarpanch and Chaugama chief Randhir Singh demanded that the inquiry of tracing the missing persons should be handed over to the CBI. The panchayat reiterated its demand that the Senior
Superintendent of Police should be suspended immediately. The panchayat resolved that its fight would be non-political and it would not meet any government official, including Chief Minister Om Parkash Chautala and the Deputy Commissioner, Rohtak. The Panchayat has sent the traditional message to the Ahlawat Khaap in the form of a written invitation, called ‘Chithi phadna’. It has constituted teams who would visit the 27 villages inhabited by persons of Ahlawat Khaap at Dighal. The Ahlawat Khaap will now fix date for the next joint meeting of the Ohlan and Ahlawat Khaaps. The decision is likely to be taken in a couple of days. The CPM has
severely criticised the Chief Minister for not speaking a word when the policemen were maltreating and humiliating women in front of his car. The party has demanded that missing persons should be traced without delay and action be taken against the erring policemen. |

Popularise use of millets to fight malnutrition, says VC Hisar, October 7 He expressed concern over the nutritional health of the people saying millions were victims of malnutrition in the country although the country was self-sufficient in foodgrains. Quoting a UNDP report, he said that in nutrition status India ranked 54th from bottom. Likewise, mortality rate among children below five years of age was 53 per cent. He described coarse grains as the best alternative to contain the problem of malnutrition. He, however, criticised the traders and government procurement agencies for their callous attitude towards millets and other coarse grains. He said this factor was mainly responsible for their low popularity among masses as well as farmers. Presiding over the inaugural session, the ICAR ADG (Home Science), Dr T. Verma expressed need for value addition to millets. She said that besides nutritional properties, millets had been found to possess medicinal value as well. She said that people regularly consuming pearlmillets and sorghum had less risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases. Speaking on the occasion, HAU Director of Research. Dr B.S. Dahiya said that millets had gained importance in the present scenario of population explosion. He said since these crops could survive in extreme temperatures and water scarcity, they were sure to produce nutritional foodgrains for human consumption. He revealed that HAU had developed a pearl millet variety with protein content as high as 17 per cent. |

Medical courses Taking up a case filed by students seeking admission to medical courses, Mr Justice S.S. Nijjar and Mr Justice S.S. Grewal of the High Court today issued notice of motion to Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak. Arguing before the court, Mr Amar Vivek had contended that merit was the sole criterion for admission to the medical courses. But the university, by admitting students far below on the merit list compared to the petitioners, had defeated the very purpose of holding the entrance test.

customer Ambala, October 7 Lt Col Satinder Singh Sandhu said he had an account at the local PNB branch. “I had withdrawn Rs 25,000 from my account as I had to make the payment for house building.

He stated that on an earlier occasion too he had detected 23 notes missing from a sealed bundle of Rs 50 currency notes. However, the Branch Manager, Mr
