BJP to field ’84 riots victim against
Maken New Delhi, November 4 The BJP has decided to leave Adarsh Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Jangpura and Rajouri Graden for the Akali Dal. Delhi Pradesh BJP President Madan Lal Khurana said the candidates for all the four seats, except Rajouri Garden, had been finalised. Announcing this at a news conference, Mr Khurana said either a widow would be fielded or a person who was orphaned after his family was killed in the massacre. Rajouri Graden is the traditional constituency of Maken. He was elected twice from this seat in 1993 and 1998. “The purpose of fielding either of the two is that the name of Mr Maken’s family finds mention among the list of Congress leaders allegedly involved in the riots,” Mr Khurana told mediapersons. The agreement for seat adjustment was reached at a meeting Mr Khurana and Chairman of the Election Campaign Committee of Delhi Pradesh BJP Vijay Kumar Malhotra had with Mr Prakash Singh Badal and Mr Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa. Mr Khurana said the BJP was also having talks with the Janata Dal (United) and the Shiv Sena and the announcement could be made soon. He said the talks with the Shiv Sena had run into rough weather as the Sena was asking for more seats than the BJP was willing to give. |

Khurana to train guns on pub culture New Delhi: A memorial to the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, rationalisation of liquor vends and an end to “pub culture” could find a mention in the manifesto of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Delhi Pradesh BJP President Madan Lal Khurana on Tuesday told reporters it would end the pub culture in the NCT of Delhi if voted to power in the December 1 Assembly election. “The pub culture, personified by the Congress, is destroying the lives of youths,” Mr Khurana told a news conference. “We will include the issue in our poll manifesto,” he said. He also announced that the party, if elected, would reduce the number of liquor shops in the Capital. “From about 180 five years ago, the number of shops of Indian made foreign liquor had now grown to nearly 275. Similarly, shops selling countrymade liquor had increased from 19 to 58 during the corresponding period,’’ he said. “High consumption of liquor is reflected in sons of high officials and politicians committing crime ... we want to end that culture,” he said. The party also promised to include in the manifesto the construction of a memorial to the 1984 anti-Sikh riot victims. TNS |

Stan Chart duped of lakhs by Dwarka
woman New Delhi, November 4 Rani Sharma was arrested on November 1 from Dwarka, where she was living in a rented accommodation. She was arrested after six cheques sent for remittance to Barclay Bank, Manchester, were returned with the remarks that the account had already been closed. The police sources disclosed that Rani had opened 14 accounts last year in Standard Chartered Bank in the name of various firms, all located at Vasant Kunj, in the capacity of a proprietor dealing in export and import business. She deposited six cheques, purportedly drawn on Barclay Bank, and managed to draw more than Rs 23 lakh. During interrogation, she revealed that she was initially dealing in the sale and purchase of shares as a sub-broker, but after suffering heavy losses, she started arranging loans from foreign banks for individuals wanting to buy domestic appliances. Rani told the police that she used to collect 25-30 per cent of the loan amount from the individuals and supplied them appliances. After gaining their confidence, she disappeared with the large amount. The police claim that she changed her modus operandi and opened a number of accounts in ABN AMBRO Bank in the name of non-existing firms. Along with her associate she cheated several persons on the pretext of arranging loans. However, cheques issued by her bounced on presentation. Rani also took a personal loan, of which Rs 1.27 lakh is still outstanding against her. Thereafter, she operated from Bhikaji Cama Palace and along with her associates cheated several persons on the pretext of arranging loans. In July last year, she came in contact with her Nigerian accomplice, Sidibe, who told her that he was in possession of several cheques of Barclay Bank, and was looking for a person having accounts in foreign banks. She then began a cheating racket with Sidibe and deposited six cheques, four in the Connaught Place branch, one in the Sansad Marg branch and another in Vasant Vihar. As per procedure, the bank allowed credit against three cheques after eight days of their presentation in the bank. The cheques were sent to Barclay Bank for collection through their NOSTRO account. By the time the bank could get information about the fate of the cheques, Rani had fraudulently withdrawn more than Rs 23 lakh from Standard Chartered. She made part payment to Sidibe and withheld Rs five lakh out of his share. When Sidibe pressed hard for the remaining amount, she shifted from Vasant Kunj to Dwarka. In the meantime, Barclay returned the cheques with the remarks that the account had already been closed. |

Dacoity
at Dawn New Delhi, November 4 The dacoity comes close on the heels of a similar incident in AGCR Colony in Anand Vihar yesterday where an old couple was robbed of their valuables by armed miscreants. The police said a case had been registered and efforts were being made to trace the suspects. Senior police officers, the Dog Squad and the Crime Branch team were rushed to the residence of the factory owner after the incident. According to the police, the incident occurred around 4.30 am today. The suspects reportedly broke open the grill and entered the ground floor of the house occupied by Alok and his family. Brandishing knives, the suspects forced Mrs Rekha Agarwal to escort them to the first floor where the family of the younger brother, Rajiv, stays. The suspects forced Mrs Rekha Agarwal to claim she was not well and that someone should come and help her. Hearing this, when the door was opened the suspects barged in. They then tied up the entire family, including four children, ransacked the house for valuables and escaped. The recent dacoities have caused considerable panic in some of the posh East Delhi colonies where the residents alleged police patrolling was virtually negligible. They demanded adequate patrolling in the area to restore the confidence of the people. Senior police officers, who visited the spot, said that both foot and mobile patrolling was being intensified in the colonies but because of manpower constraints it was not possible to cover all areas. They sought the cooperation of the residents’ welfare associations to help them in night patrolling. Meanwhile, the Police Commissioner, Mr R. S. Gupta, has taken a serious view of the increase in incidents of crime in the Capital and called an emergency meeting of the Deputy Commissioners of Police of various districts. The Police Commissioner told them in no uncertain terms that enough was enough and they had to come down heavily on criminals and anti-social elements to restore the confidence of the public. The Police Commissioner asked the DCPs to ensure that there were no anti-social elements on the street in the nights and keep track of all known criminals. The DCPs have been asked to personally supervise the arrangements, specially in view of the forthcoming assembly elections in the NCT of Delhi. |

THE HEAT Ghaziabad, November 4 But there is a rider. The Noida administration will first have to clear the payment due to Jal Nigam within three to four days. The Jal Nigam has already initiated work on the project report of the Noida administration’s proposal for 80 cusecs of Ganga water, added Mr Mishra, who had come on an inspection visit of Jal Nigam. He said Ganga water had already reached Sector 65, Noida. “But we are faced with some bottlenecks. One of these is the stoppage of payment by the Noida administration”. “If Noida clears our payments within the next few days, the supply of water could be made to Noida city within a month”, Mr Mishra declared. Mr Mishra disclosed that the Jal Nigam was executing development works worth Rs 350 crore in the Noida area, the majority of which had now been stopped. This included a sewage line project worth Rs 98 crore. The Jal Nigam Chairman said 30 per cent work on this project had been completed. The project report of the sewage line had pegged its estimated cost at Rs 224 crore, but the basic cost had been brought down to Rs 98 crore. He did not clarify how this had been made possible. He said crash guards and electricity poles on either side of the expressway had been fixed in keeping with the Noida administration criteria and norms. Work on crash guards had been completed on a 38-km stretch out of the total 60 km length. The Jal Nigam had undertaken work on 16 projects. Mr Mishra said the UP Jal Nigam was a contractor in all the development works in Noida and Greater Noida, which had now been stopped by the authorities. This had led to problems for the contractors. |

IMT project: Will it be the mascot of Haryana’s industrial
success? Gurgaon, November 4 According to an official of the agency, the construction works on the project is expected to start before the end of this year. Group Housing Societies for outsiders are also on the agenda of the HSIDC. Eighty-two acres of land has been earmarked for allotment for the group housing society flats. The first phase of the IMT project encompasses about 1,700 acres of land divided into seven sectors. It has provisions for 1,200 industrial plots, out of which 1,100 have already been allotted. In the proposed development, while the HSIDC sells the industrial plots, the construction works are done by the owners within the specified parameters. However, though the HSIDC personnel asserted that things have been progressing according to plans, there are many who feel that developments are being unduly delayed. It is pointed out that inspite of the large-scale advertisements about the IMT to the domestic and foreign investors, only 100 units have started production works so far, while 700 units are on the threshold of setting themselves up. According to official version, construction works on 400 plots were in progress. The IMT saga is now more than five years old. The IMT project is to be developed in five phases, over an area of 5,000 acres of land. The work on second phase, to be set up on 1,400 acres of land, is at an advanced stage. An officer of the HSIDC said that the agency had already taken possession of 200 acres of land for the second phase. Follow up works for the remaining portion is also going apace. According to many, the government has decided to make IMT a mascot of its industrial success. Accordingly, officials have been instructed to ensure the timely progress of work on the various projects. In fact, the project finds a mention in most of the demonstrations put up by the state government to show the growth of industrialisation in the state. As a result, a number of foreign delegations have visited the IMT project site to explore the possibility of business by their nationals. A Hungarian delegation visited the project site yesterday. |

Depositing phone bills an uphill task Ghaziabad, November 4 Confusion prevails at the cash counters even at Raj Nagar exchange, to say nothing of other places. Though the department claims to have introduced many changes at the cash counters, including opening new counters as also increasing the time limits, but failure to enforce a system in these places continues to make the depositing of a telecom bill an uphill task. Eight new counters had been set by the department keeping in view the difficulties of many consumers. But the hall where these counters were located was too small to enable a large number of consumers to deposit their bills properly. The hall was too small to accommodate long queues of subscribers. A few of the previously functioning counters were also closed down. In Raj Nagar exchange, separate counters for women and senior citizens were set up and working time was extended from 9 am to 4 pm daily. Though officially counters open at 9 am, but the staff normally start work by 10 am. There are people who come to deposit dozens of bills at one counter. They are able to have their way by paying Rs 10 extra per bill while the bona fide subscribers have to sweat it out for hours. Besides, on advance bills of officials, contractors and medical practitioners and officers, the counter clerks get some commission, according to departmental sources. They are obviously too keen to attend to such subscribers. |

Make Gurgaon destination of foreign investors: HSIDC Gurgaon, November 4 The high-powered delegation has come to India along with Hungary’s Prime Minister. It visited the Industrial Model Township
(IMT) set up by HSIDC at Manesar, about 20 km from here. It also visited some of the leading multinational units like Denso Haryana and the Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India
(Pvt) Ltd, to explore the possibility of its country’s business community investing in the country. Setting the tone of the visit, Mr Jain addressed the delegation at
IMT, saying that the economies of India and Hungary are complementary and stand to gain from the increased trade and economic co-operation. To develop economic, commercial and technical relations between India and Hungary, efforts should be canalised towards identifying and building upon the complementarities between the two economies. The synergy that can emerge by enhancing mutual co-operation is immense. Last year, Hungary was invited to join the European Union, which is India’s largest trade and investment partner. “We can take advantage of this and use Hungary as a gateway to the
EU,” he added. According to him, potential items for Indian exports to Hungary include machine tools, tractor assembly, food processing machinery, mining, machinery, earth moving machinery, casting and forging items, consumer goods including appliances, leather items, engineering goods, textiles and garments, cosmetics, computer hardware and software, jewellery, tobacco, tea, coffee, processed foods, cotton, industrial chemicals, automotive part, medical equipment and supplies, oil and gas field machinery, pharmaceuticals, etc. Similarly, potential items of import from Hungary by India include large machinery items, steel products, chemicals, drugs and pharmaceuticals, peas and other agricultural products, metallurgical products, cables, electronics, energy equipment, transport equipment, automotive parts, ceremics and glassware, clothing, footwear, household consumer products, meat products, etc. With regard to Haryana, Mr Jain emphasised the merits of Gurgaon, as it was in the vicinity of the national Capital and had everything to offer what the Capital had to offer to the investors. He also tried to broadband the virtue of Gurgaon, saying that although Haryana was still an agrarian economy, the industry in the state has come of age. |
