DMRC angling for Prince Charles’ ‘testimonial’ New Delhi, October 28 Addressing mediapersons, Mr Kapoor said the Indian Metro had one of the most advanced ticketing systems in the world in the form of contactless tokens and many countries like Hong Kong, among others, were now trying to emulate it. Tomorrow, the heir to the British throne will travel from Kashmere Gate to Welcome station in the Metro. This will confirm its status as the most advanced metro in the world, said DMRC. “Ours is more modern than the metros in Europe and America. It is the only one in the world that offers contactless tokens as tickets,” the spokesman told reporters. Echoing similar views, DMRC Project Director A. T. Burchill said, “Delhi Metro is far, far superior to the one in London. I am sure Prince Charles will be surprised to see the efficient system and will appreciate the efforts of the DMRC.” Allaying fears of disruption of normal traffic during the Prince’s visit, the spokesman said the Prince may be taken on the trip on a separate train. “The Metro will ply as usual. There will be no disruption of service or rescheduling of trains because of the visit of the Prince of Wales,” he said. During his inspection, Mr Kapoor took a ride from Kashmere Gate to Tri Nagar on the Metro, besides visiting the construction site at Kashmere Gate and disembarking at Pratap Nagar to inspect the station. The under-construction Delhi Metro, which was inaugurated in 2002, now runs up to 12.8 km, covering 10 stations from Shahdara to Tis Hazari, while initially it traversed only 8.3 km from Tis Hazari to Trinagar. With the extension of the network, there had been an exponential increase in the number of passengers availing of this fast means of transport, he said, adding that yesterday alone there was a record number of 1,30,000 commuters on the Metro. The Lt-Governor also mooted property development on the stations and in the vicinity to make the ambience livelier. He said he would expedite the construction of an Information Technology Park within Shashtri Park. Denying any political angle to his visit ahead of the assembly elections or Prince Charles’ visit, he said the main purpose of this visit was to identify the problems being faced by the
DMRC. |

ON CAMPUS New Delhi, October 28 A large number of protesting students were picked up by the Delhi Police early this morning and later released. “The administration has been very unjust. We had put forth our demands in a democratic way, yet they called in the police to arrest us this morning. At least 50 students were taken by the police and later released in groups of four and five”, pointed out a student activist. He went on to add, “We met the Vice-Chancellor and sought the release of our fellow students. Their release is our priority”. The Vice-Chancellor has agreed to meet a team of students on Thursday to discuss the issue. “The VC has not promised us anything yet. We have, however, been told that he will meet the delegates and a solution will be worked out within a week”, said the activist. The agitating students have decided to go on an indefinite strike if the administration does not revoke the decision not to allow elections on the campus. Elections to choose representatives of the students’ body were last held about six years ago. Since then the students have not been able to exercise their franchise. |

Chaos reigns a day prior to one-day match Faridabad, October 28 While nobody had been deputed to guide and assist mediapersons, many scribes, including some from the electronic media in the Capital, were seen running around to procure a pass. A reporter of a TV news channel based in New Delhi said he had been at the stadium for the past one hour but he could not contact the person in charge of the passes. Someone had told him the Deputy Commissioner, who is the ex-officio Chairman of the District Cricket Association, was himself distributing passes meant for the Press. Mr Rajbir Narwal, reporter of Delhi-based news programme, “Ankhon Dekhi”, said he had been hanging around the stadium for the past two days but had not managed to get a pass. He said an office-bearer of the Haryana Cricket Association (HCA) had told him the passes meant for the Press had been distributed already. Most of the press reporters based in Faridabad, including those accredited and representing national dailies, had not been given passes till Tuesday evening. Many of the seats in the press gallery in this stadium had been occupied by unauthorised persons and families of influential persons in the last one day international played here in 2001. Local correspondents of leading dailies were also not extended an invitation for the press conference held this morning at the stadium. It is alleged that due to the boycott of district-level official programmes by a section of the Press here, a discriminatory approach had been adopted towards the scribes here. |

Green canopy ravaged in violation of court orders New Delhi, October 28 Paying a price for the Delhi Development Authority’s (DDA) plans to build a parking lot and a night bazaar among other commercial enterprises, the uprooting, incidentally, is a violation of the high court orders. The green belt in Nehru Place became a sore point for the DDA, which wants to wipe the greens for building places of commercial interest. The Paharpur Business Centre (PBC), which had been looking after the green belt since 1996, took up the matter of felling the trees and was joined by NGOs, social activists and common people in their endeavour to save the trees. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) which had earlier signed an MoU with the PBC for the maintenance of the greens, allowed the DDA to take over the plot in February this year. The PBC alleged that despite assurances to look after the trees the DDA had failed even to provide water to them. This apart, the DDA had filed an affidavit in the Delhi High Court, stating that no trees in the Nehru Place Greens Park would be axed. However, on the eve of Divali, allege PBC authorities, several trees were uprooted by a contractor appointed by the DDA. It was also pointed out that the Executive Engineer of the DDA denied cutting the trees when contacted by the PBC. The contractor on the site, however, maintained that the trees were being cut by the DDA to help widen the road. The PBC alleged that the contractors, acting on the DDA’s behest, had removed the railings and the barbed wires of the park and cut even mature trees. Since there was no permission to cut the trees by the concerned authority, the PBC filed an FIR in Kalkaji Police Station and managed to save more trees from being cut because of police intervention. The Nehru Place Greens Park was a slum spanning seven acres prior to the takeover by the PBC. After the MCD refused to renew their MoU in February 2003 and instead allowed the DDA to take over the maintenance, the PBC had been involved in saving the trees from being cut. The PBC is now waiting for the authorities to take action and save the trees, which had managed to bring down the carbon dioxide levels in the city from 445 to 339 ppm and the SPM’s from 1047 to 390 ug/m3 between 1996 to 2002. |

L’affaire Sampla: Bansi Lal blames it on CM Rohtak, October 28 Mr Bansi Lal was speaking to the mediapersons before addressing a state level backward class rally organised by the backward class cell of the party here today. The HVP chief said that the incident occurred due to the failure of the police in tracing two missing youths of the village. He also charged the Chief Minister with adopting a casual attitude towards the sufferings of the people. He said the incident was shameful and it could have been avoided had the Chief Minister been sensitive to the disappearance of the youths. He said the residents of Garhi Sampla village, including some women, wanted to meet the Chief Minister to tell the story of the affected families and request him to direct the police to expedite the search for the youths. He said that the SSP should have allowed the complainants to meet the Chief Minister to avert the unfortunate incident. He expressed surprise as to why the Chief Minister had kept silent on such an issue. |
Procurement arrangements
criticised Sonepat, October 28 In a signed press statement issued here today, he also regretted that inspite of the announcement of the minimum support price for bajra and paddy by the Union Government, the farmers had been facing a lot of hardships in selling their produce. He accused the Chief Minister, Mr Om Parkash Chautala, of making false promises but doing nothing for the welfare of the farmers. Mr Vidrohi also blamed the Chautala government for the incomplete arrangements for the purchase of paddy and bajra from the mandis of the state. The farmers are being forced to stay for days together in the mandis to market their produce, creating a lot of hardships for them, he alleged. He alleged that there had been a persistent shortage of gunny bags and the official procurement agencies had failed to lift the procured stocks of paddy and bajra. |

JD(U)
calls for abolition of POTA Faridabad, October 28 In a statement here today, Mr Vidrohi claimed that the country did not require POTA as the Act had become a handy tool to victimise and terrorise political opponents or those who opposed the philosophy and the style of the functioning of the government in power. He said the move to amend POTA by the Union Government was unacceptable as its fallout could be detrimental to the people if the authorities opted to “misuse” it. He claimed that while POTA had failed to curb terrorist activities in the country, it was being “misused” to nail political opponents. He said there had been many incidents in Jharkhand and
Orissa where POTA had been imposed on minor and teenaged boys. He said the “misuse” had rendered the Act useless. In the light of past experience, he said there was no need for the “review” of the Act by the Union Government, as it could be used for ulterior motives. |
Manhandled Garhi women contest admn’s denials Rohtak, October 28 Narrating the details of the incident at a rally, organised by the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), at Sampla today, Ms Bhagwani Devi of Garhi alleged that the police did not allow them to meet the Chief Minister who had gone to Sampla on October 3 on an official visit. When the women made attempts to break the cordon and submit their memorandum to the Chief Minister, policemen manhandled them and pushed them. In the melee, the eight-month-old son of Ms Rajesh, wife of Naresh, fell on the bonnet of Chief Minister’s car and later on the ground. She alleged that women were not only pushed but roughed up also. Condemning the incident, former Union minister and RLD chief Ajit Singh said that it reflected the ego-centric attitude of Chief Minister Om Parkash Chautala who otherwise was
duty bound to listen to the grievances of the people. He alleged that there was no democracy in Haryana. Journalists were being murdered and harassed and leaders of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) have been arrested on charges of sedition. Their fault was that they were demanding free power to the agriculture sector which was promised by the ruling INLD during assembly elections. Swami Indervesh, president, RLD Haryana unit, said that village Garhi, the birthplace of late Kisan leader Sir Chhotu Ram, was sacred like Mecca and Ayodhya for the farmers of Haryana. He condemned the October 3 incident and said that the deputy commissioner and superintendent of police, Rohtak had behaved in an irresponsible manner on that day. The Swami, through a resolution, demanded the suspension of deputy commissioner and the superintendent of police and transferring the probe of missing youths to the CBI. Naresh and Azad, both the missing youths were employed as driver and cleaner with a transporter Delhi. They have been missing since September 11,2002 from near Rewari in Ahirwal. Through another resolution, he demanded an apology from the Chief Minister for maltreating the women by the police in his presence. The participants approved these resolutions by show of hands. Mr Ajit Singh assured support to the agitation launched by the Chaugama Panchayat for fulfilment of their demands. |

SONEPAT Sonepat, October 28 According to a report, the alleged assailants, however, managed to escape in a Tata Sumo after looting Rs 25,000 from the cash box. On receipt of the information, the police arrived on the scene and chased the alleged assailants but failed to apprehend them. The police have also registered the case against the alleged assailants and further investigations were in progress. Mr Dilbagh, who sustained bullet injuries, was rushed to a private hospital in this city for treatment and was stated to be out of danger. It is stated that three armed youths came in a Tata Sumo jeep and purchased petrol for Rs 500. Before paying the amount they asked the salesman to bring a glass of water. However, when the salesman went to fetch the water, two of them followed him and entered the cabin where Mr Dilbagh was sitting. When they made an attempt to snatch the cash from the cash box, Mr Dilbagh intervened. Thereupon, they fired at him. Mr Dilbagh was seriously wounded and fell down. Meanwhile, the assailants immediately snatched the cash and fled in the Tata Sumo jeep towards Bahalgarh side. The incident has caused panic among the resident of neighbouring villages. |
Entrepreneurs take undue advantage of credit facilities Sonepat, October 28 According to sources, a number of small entrepreneurs, who secured loans from banks on furnishing security in the form of plants, machineries and raw-materials in their units, surreptitiously disposed of these later on. Consequently, the bank authorities have been left in a fix and find it almost impossible to recover the loan amount from these entrepreneurs. Moreover, the legal processes to recover such loans are not very helpful in such situations. Meanwhile, a lot needs to be done to improve the day-to-day functioning of the nationalised banks. A large section of its customers still feel that inefficiency, delay and maladministration are a lingering features of these banks. Even the largest bank, the State Bank of India, “has failed to simplify the procedures for its customers”. The working of the Haryana Financial Corporation has also come in for public criticism as industrialists have taken advantage of the various clauses to “siphon off” money taken as loans. Lack of proper planning and speedy processing of payments under the Prime Minister’s Self-Employment Scheme has come in for severe criticism in the district. In effect, the needy have been left out and the greedy have lapped up all the cream with the active connivance of politicians, bankers and bureaucrats. It is difficult to pinpoint the institution or the individuals responsible, but the politicians have often put pressure on the nationalised banks to look the other way as unscrupulous people have reaped the advantage from the scheme. Official sources revealed that banks had fixed a target of 1,010 educated jobless youths to be given loans under the Prime Minister’s Self-Employment Scheme during the last financial year. However, even though the banks had sanctioned loan amounts for 976 educated unemployed youths till November 30 last year, only 619 educated unemployed youths had received the amount so far. The banks had imparted training to as many as 399 educated jobless youths during the period under review. It is alleged that the non-cooperative attitude of the officials and malpractices in the grant of loans to the unemployed educated youths had made the scheme a farce. It is alleged the processing of applications is abnormally delayed at different levels and the recommendations of the task force entrusted with the job are not honoured by the bank authorities for “pecuniary reasons”. The officers are sore at the dilatory tactics adopted by the banks while the applicants are disappointed when their applications are rejected “without any rhyme or reasons”. Under the scheme, educated unemployed youths were to be provided loans up to Rs 35,000 to set up industries or start a new business. In an effort to make it easy to get these loans, the government liberalised the rules and the applicants were not required to furnish any surety or guarantee for the loans. Officials, however, maintain that only genuine applicants were provided the loans. However, a cursory perusal of the list reveals that persons with influence or “contacts” have received the lion’s share. Consequently, the aim of the scheme to provide help to the poorer sections of the society has remained a dream. In some cases, candidates with running business were accommodated under political pressure. Meanwhile, the district unit of the ‘Non-Employed Persons Sangh’ has alleged that most of the bank managers had harassed the loan seekers in some form or the other, with the aim of receiving “cuts” from the amount sanctioned. It has demanded a high-level probe into the complaints of jobless youths and action against the bank officials found harassing them. |
