Will special zone for heavy vehicles take off? Faridabad, January 8 According to district officials, 230 plots out of a total 323 have been earmarked for allotment in Transport Nagar in Sector-58, on the National Highway No. 2 and near Jharsentli village. The allotment of the plots would start next week, it is stated. Transport Nagar will have facilities for accommodating 500 trucks at a time; simultaneously, it will have 128 sites for booking agencies, nine dhabas and 42 showrooms. All the basic amenities and infrastructure will be provided. The work on this project will be completed by March end. However, despite the administration asking the transporters and the companies involved in the project to apply for the plots and sites, the majority of the transporters are unsure about the feasibility of shifting to a new place, situated 15 to 20 km from the heart of the town. Certain transporters, who did not want to be quoted, claimed that relocation outside the town could hurt their business. Hundreds of transport companies have been operating from various parts of the town. Most of them have offices along the National Highway and some in the adjoining areas, including residential pockets. The parking of trucks and heavy carriers in these areas causes much inconvenience to the residents. They have also been a cause of many accidents and done irreparable damage to the roads. The service road built by the authorities to decongest the main Mathura Road has been an exercise in futility owing to rampant encroachments by commercial establishments and transporters. Residents of many sectors, including Sector 19, Sector 16-A , 15-A , 11, 7 , Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh and parts of NIT have complained about the problems regarding parking and heavy movement of trucks in their areas. Finally, the authorities have given the truck operators a three-week ultimatum: Strict action will be taken against them, if the vehicles are found parked in the town after the expiry of this deadline. |

Extra HC sitting to clear backlog of cases New Delhi, January 8 However, for the present, it has been decided that all 23 judges of the court would hear regular (old) criminal pending matters in an effort to dispose them of first. Earlier, the high court had earmarked 30 per cent of its working hours to clear the backlog of old cases and decided to devote one full day in a week to hearing only regular cases. Every Thursday is ‘Old Matters Day’. All benches of the court take up only old hearing matters. On that day, no admission/after notice matters would be taken up, except in urgent cases. Besides, on Wednesdays too, regular cases are heard after the lunch break. About 5,000 matters are filed in the high court every year while about 6,000 matters are disposed of. The court has about 60,000 pending cases. But notwithstanding the fact that the court’s rate of disposal of cases is lower than the national average of 1976, it disposes of almost as many cases as are filed in the court. The Delhi High Court currently has only 23 judges, as against a sanctioned strength of 36. |

Orders to cancel mafia land acquisitions Greater Noida, January 8 This has been stated by member, State Revenue Board, T.George Joseph, who has already instructed Gautam Budh Nagar District Magistrate L Venketeshwar Lu to cancel these transfers and changes in land deeds, facilitated by Moti Goel by peddling his influence. Mr Joseph said the inquiry in 27 cases of land scam was already under way. In certain cases, the inquiry report has been completed and further action is awaited. But since orders for cancellation of these transfers have not been issued, the villagers are suspicious of the efforts that are being made by the government; the delay is generally construed as an attempt to sweep these cases under the carpet. The DM, therefore, has been asked to issue cancellation orders in all such cases in which the probe has been completed and in which land mafia has been indicted for tampering with revenue records and putting state exchequer to a loss, Mr. Joseph said. Orders have been issued to cancel the transfer of all village community land in which illegal title registries had been issued. Registries or titles issued on custodial land belonging to those, who had crossed over to Pakistan, will also be cancelled, the member, Revenue Board, said. Cancellation orders have also been issued for 25 bighas of land falling under Khasra No.2 of Rohilapur; the case has been cleared and sent to Revenue Board for further action, which entails acquisition of the property. Incidentally, this land also stands in the name of controversial government officer SS Singh. Mr. Joseph reiterated that all cases connected with the controversial land mafia Moti Goel will be inquired into separately. DM Venketeshwar Lu, Addl DM Dr. Shiv Prasad, Dy Collectors Sheshmani Pande and Yoginder Yadav were also present in the meeting when Mr. Joseph made these announcements. |

ON CAMPUS New Delhi, January 8 “The DUTA, along with the Delhi University Students Union DUSU and the Delhi University Karamchari Union (DUKU), will organise a two-hour
dharna in every college of the university on the 21st of January. On the 22nd there will be a complete bandh as the FEDCUTA has given a call for a complete bandh of all central universities”, said the President of the DUTA, Dr. Aditya N Mishra. Though the Academic Council of Jamia Millia Islamia has registered its disapproval of the proposed Combined Entrance Test mooted by the UGC, the university is still studying the Model Act. “We are studying the Model Act and grasping the implications of what it entails. The Academic Council (AC) did not agree to the combined entrance test and we have already communicated that to the concerned authorities”, said Prof. S M Sajid, of the JMI. He said that the AC noted in its meeting that the combined entrance test “was an encroachment on the universities autonomy… that autonomy, which has been granted to it by an Act of Parliament”. Teacher’s bodies have been vociferously opposing the Model Act. The FEDCUTA sees the act as a means for “paving the way for total privatisation and commercialisation of higher education”. Academics have pointed out that the proposed act will discourage higher learning and encouraging distance learning will seriously hamper the growth of disciplines like Social Sciences and Humanities. “The Model Act will discourage the poor from seeking education. How will the poor be able to afford an education that costs three to four lakh”, questions Mishra. He also pointed out that a demonstration will also be held outside the Vice Chancellor’s office on the 29th of this month regarding the “university’s internal issues”. “There were many proposals submitted by us vis-à-vis the internal assessment, mid term exams and recruitment of teachers. There has been no action taken so far”.

Sonepat plagued by power pangs Sonepat, January 8 According to a report, the voltage sometimes is so low that most of the electricity gadgets do not function. Due to non-functioning of tubewells because of the low voltage, the drinking water crisis has aggravated in the city and its suburbs. The worst affected are the villages falling under the jurisdiction of Kharkhauda, Murthal, Ganaur, Gohana and some other sub-divisions where there is no power for about six to eight hours in a day. As the temperature fell again today, frequent power shutdowns, failures and voltage fluctuations were witnessed causing inconvenience to thousands of residents. Many residents alleged that all their complaints made to the authorities concerned in this regard have fallen on deaf ears. An official of the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) when contacted by this correspondent today brushed aside the complaints about not attending the complaints by saying that “yeh to hota rehta hai, aur individual complaints ko kahan tak dekha ja sakta hai,” (It happens. How often one can attend to individual complaints?). This is what has been the overwhelming response of the UHBVN employees manning the local offices. However, a senior officer of the UHBVN said that attending to the problems of the consumers would be his priority. He also said that he would be taking steps to check the complaints of the consumers received at the complaints centres. Referring to voltage fluctuations, he said that the voltage fluctuations were due to disturbance in the 132 KV grid power sub-station at Fazilpur village near the city. The frequent loadsheddings were also on this account. When the officials of the UHBVN are contacted by the consumers about the problems, the family members of these officers told them that Abhi Sahab Ghar Par Nahin Hain, baad mein phone keriyega (Right now, sahab is not at home, call him later). Meanwhile, industrialists are agitated over the erratic power supply. Industrial units in this industrial belt have been hit badly with the increasing cuts in the power supply almost every day. Many industrialists stated that due to erratic power supply, entrepreneurs had been showing tendency of migrating to the neighbouring states like Delhi and UP, where they get uninterrupted power supply and related facilities to set up and run their units. They demanded that the areas should be declared centrally backward. Some industrialists also said that the metal and steel industry of this region was on the verge of closure due to power crisis. A number of units had already been closed down and the owners had migrated to the neighbouring states. As per the estimate, the sector accounts for 80 to 85 per cent of total theft. The moulding industry, including plastic industry, ice-making plants and induction furnaces, are the major consumers in the industrial sector. An induction furnace’s daily power consumption is more than a big jhuggi cluster and hence more power theft. The common man too makes his contribution in saving some money on the power bill. Getting the meter reversed is in vogue courtesy the much-pampered meter readers of the UHBVN who have totally hegemony in this field. Invariably, the transmission trips in various localities when there is a marriage season. The reason is very simple. Over utilisation of electricity. Under the UHBVN rules, permission is granted for temporary connections. The local UHBVN official strikes a deal and the capacity is increased manifold and all this goes unchecked. The power theft has assumed dangerous proportions in the absence of any effective checking by the officials. During the shortfall of electricity there is more power theft in connivance with the officials of the
UHBVN. |

Pig-free drive receives a jolt Bhiwani, January 8 It may be recalled that the Deputy Commissioner, Mr H. S. Malik, while replying to a question at a press conference that held in the mini-secretariat office recently, had assured of making Bhiwani a pig-free city. He had then disclosed that Charkhi Dadri town had already been made pig-free. The municipal council had announced last week that no pig would be allowed to roam after January 4 on the roads under its cleanliness drive. After a long exercise, the council last week allotted contract to a private contractor who has been empowered to capture and ousted the stray pigs from the city. After the drive, resentment prevailed among pig breeders and they met the Deputy Commissioner to suspend the drive and submitted a memorandum to him today. It has been further learnt that the DC listened to them and assured to look into the matter. The breeders said that the drive would hit them financially, as pig breeding is their sole business. The municipal council had announced that contract had been given and work would be done from Monday if any pig found roaming on roads would be captured by the contractor. However, the capture work remained slow today but pig breeders did not allow their pigs to come on road. |
