Mahendragarh: Residents of Mahendragarh town have gone without power and water for the past two days. The telephone and telegraphic system has also gone bust as thousands of electricity and telephone poles have been uprooted in the tornado in the intervening night of Thursday and Friday. The residents were without electricity soon after the storm had hit the township, followed by long intermittent sharp showers. The storm came at about midnight and continued for a few hours. Yesterday, the entire township was plunged in pitch darkness. The officials of the electricity and telephone department are facing an uphill task in restoring the services. The restoration work has been severely affected due to snapping of road links on account of large number of uprooted trees lying on the roads. The officials have been working round the clock, but the services could not be restored even partially. TNS
Downpour wreaks havoc on Sonepat Sonepat:
The heaviest downpour during the past 48 hours has played havoc with the city and other parts of the district. Thousands of wheat bags, lying in the open in various grain markets in the district, became wet following the failure of the officials of various procurement agencies to take the stocks to the godowns. The district authorities, too, remain silent spectators in this regard. The negligence on the part of the officials has caused a huge loss to the state exchequer. According to a report, the roof of a room of government primary school collapsed in the rain at Bari village about 10 km from here last night, damaging the furniture. If this had happened during the school hours, many children might have been trapped and killed, according to the residents of the village. The Headmaster of the school had informed the authorities of the Education Department about the dilapidated school building, but of no avail. A driver of the tanker sustained injuries when he lost control on it. The tanker overturned on Sonepat-Gohana Road near Barwasni village about 5 km from here last night. The accident occurred due to heavy rains.

trader was kidnapped for murder Noida, May 1 A specific contract amount for the crime had also been finalised, they told the police. Meanwhile, the police have raided many places to nab the remaining five criminals involved in the crime. Brijesh Kumar had named nine criminals in this kidnapping, out of which four have already been arrested. Brijesh Kumar, s/o Nathu Mal, resident of Chhapar Garh, had been abducted by about a dozen armed criminals in a golden-coloured Maruti van on Wednesday opposite grain market on Rabupura road. The Maruti van was reportedly flying a Congress party flag. Brijesh Kumar was later freed by the police. During interrogation, the criminals told the police that they had actually planned to murder the victim in the jungles of a drug factory on Sallarpur Road, after kidnapping and taking the ransom. But when the criminals reached Mohalla Peerwala, their Maruti was caught in a traffic jam. At this stage, police do not want to disclose as to who had paid the contract amount. First they want to arrest the five criminals, interrogate them and then come to the conclusion. The police feel this crime could be linked to the murder of Brijesh Kumar’s paternal uncle some years ago. Brijesh Kumar had reportedly taken control of the uncle Ghasi Ram’s business after his death. The police are raiding a number of hideouts to nab the criminals involved in Brijesh Kumar’s kidnapping. |

Private
vehicles being driven under false colours Sonepat, May 1 Several such vehicles could be seen on every main road in the district full of passengers. In fact, the drivers of these vehicles are confident that by seeing the green flag, the authorities would not dare challan the vehicles. When it was brought to the notice of authorities, they pleaded innocence, but asserted that a number of vehicles were permitted to ply as they have paid all dues required before being issued route permits. An officer of the traffic police told the ‘NCR Tribune’ that despite the election, the
police were keeping a close watch on unauthorised plying and a number of such vehicles were being challaned and fined. “Supporting a flag whether green, blue or red atop a vehicle is not illegal. However, if
these vehicles are found being used in electioneering then they are taken to task
according to the election commission guidelines,” he remarked. He explained that many vehicles, mostly jeeps, are authorised to ply on certain routes with valid route permits. In other category, there are vehicles being issued with temporary route permits after charging the government dues. But the vehicles plying illegally are being challaned and fined in regular checkings, he added. However, a number of vehicles plying without the valid authorisation, either belonged to the influential politicians |
Anand’s son, Bappi Lahiri also do their share of pressing the flesh New Delhi, May 1 Anand’s son Chetanya, meanwhile, chose to flag off a rickshaw rally at Sarai Julena in Okhla.

Sonepat residents complain of contaminated water supply Sonepat, May 1 Moreover, complaints regarding contaminated water and resultant water-borne diseases have added to the problem of the residents. To make matter worse, even on normal days there is no fixed timing for the supply of water. Lack of control over the staff is said to be the main cause of the water scarcity in the city. In effect, the staff of the main waterworks at Murthal and the boosting stations have held the residents of the city to ransom. The residents are also angry that the repeated complaints regarding the erratic supply of drinking water made to the Public Health Department have fallen on deaf ears. Series of complaints made to the senior officials of the PHD regarding the water leaks in the
sluice valves have made no difference. The authorities of the PHD seem helpless in taking action against the erring officials, who have failed to comply with their orders in this direction. In effect, the drinking water supply system has collapsed in this city, causing inconvenience and hardships to thousands of residents, who have to fetch water from distance places to meet their requirement. The conditions of the residents living on the first and second floors are worse. As such, residents have installed booster pumps directly on the main water pipelines. Moreover, complaints regarding contaminated water and resultant water-borne diseases have added to the problem of the residents. Accordingly, residents of Ram Bazar, Mohalla Kalan and other areas, have installed underground water tanks. Water from these tanks have to be pumped into the overhead tank due to low pressure. The local water reservoir was built years ago. With the increase in population and construction of multi-storeyed buildings, this water reservoir has become inadequate. To add to the problem, the sewerage system in the entire city is plagued with a plethora of problems. The sewers in many areas, which were constructed more than two-decade old, have been badly damaged due to poor maintenance and misuse. They get clogged frequently, flooding the roads. The residents complained that the builders dump their waste material it into the sewers. A resident of the old Housing Board colony near the subzimandi said: “Our sewer lines are already clogged. To add to the problem, the builders dump construction waste into the sewers.” This has caused intermixing, leading to contamination of the water supplied to the residents of the city. |

Photo exhibition to commemorate Labour Day New Delhi, May 1 Displayed at the Lalit Kala Akademi gallery, the pictures capture the agony and ecstasy of work across the country. Titled ‘Joy of Work and Anguish when Denied’ by social activist J. John, it has 50 stills from the salt mines of Barmer in Rajasthan to the tea gardens in West Bengal and construction sites in Delhi to the ship-breaking yard in Alang, Gujarat. The director of Indian Labour Organization (ILO), Herman Van der Laan, who inaugurated the exhibition yesterday, said: “The pictures wonderfully capture the colourful world of work. But they also signify that there is a lot that needs to be done.” In a telling comment on the continuing child labour in sports goods manufacturing, two photographs kept side by side show a child stitching a football in Jalandhar in 2003 and a certified football with ‘No Child Labour’ written on it. The hazardous conditions of workers in the ship-breaking yards of Alang, Gujarat, are shown in three pictures of workers in action and a dismantled ship. Labour in the national Capital is shown through photographs of MCD workers clearing garbage and construction workers. “Work is creative and in normal circumstances people enjoy working. However, denial of work and its fruits make people desolate and broken,” says John, who photographed the images while working on different projects. Women attired in colourful clothes working in the salt mines of the desert-state of Rajasthan form a separate section on women workers in the country. The other side of labour is depicted in pictures of workers preparing their food and children of closed tea estate workers in West Bengal earning bread and butter for their families by breaking stones. The exhibition is on till May 4. |

search within The recent debate over imposition of death penalty upon those who produce spurious drugs and a disclosure sometime ago that big businesses and industrialists owe Rs 50,000 crore to the banking sector (considered bad debts) are indicative of the level of our business honesty. Not long ago the media was full of stories how diary owners manufacture synthetic milk using chemicals such as urea to produce a liquid that looks exactly like milk. Our expertise in producing duplicates of items and products is perhaps known the world over. This being the case, the seminar held by the Crown Financial in Delhi, attended by hundreds of businessmen and professionals the other day, acquires vital significance. One may wonder whether a one-day programme in a five star hotel could be expected to bring sea changes in the attitudes of those who are in business. If India is to shine in the days to come, there is dire need to instil a sense of honesty in our business and professional people. Being one of the most corrupt nations in the world, the obstacles to progress are spiritual in nature. The desire to get rich quick has spread like an infectious disease in our nation. A work culture in which the worker is accustomed to put in the least and get the maximum has ruined our government departments, resulting in inefficiency and colossal wastage of precious resources. Our public sector enterprises, set up to serve social causes, have become white elephants. The lawyer who seeks to prey on his clients, the doctor who thrives on the sickness of the people and the trader who bleeds his customer, the politician who, in the name of serving the people, grabs power and defrauds the exchequer in all possible ways, the teacher who engages in private tuition to the neglect of his work in school, are all symptoms of a disease that has afflicted our economy. The businessman-politician nexus ensure business success at the cost of the poor and the country. Unfortunately, many of those who indulge in such corrupt practice are quite religious. The religious believe along with non-believers that honesty does not pay. “The religious tradesman complains that his honesty is a hindrance to success, that the tide of custom pours into the doors of his less scrupulous neighbours in the same street, while he himself waits for hours idle,’’ wrote Frederick William Robertson, an English divine (1816-53). Continuing, Robertson poses these questions: “ My brother, do you think that God is going to reward honour, integrity, high-mindedness, with this world’s coin? Do you fancy that He will pay spiritual excellence with plenty of custom? Now consider the price that man has paid for his success. Perhaps mental degradation and inward dishonour. His advertisements are all deceptive; his treatment of his workers tyrannical; his cheap prices made possible by inferior articles. Sow that man’s seed, and you will reap that man’s harvest. Cheat, lie, advertise, be unscrupulous in your assertions, custom will come to you. But if the price is too dear, let him have his harvest, and take yours. Yours is a clear conscience, a pure mind, rectitude within and without. Will you part with that for his? Then why do you complain? He has paid his price; you do not choose to pay it.’’ Let us look other financial dealings. Try lending to a “religious” brother and you will soon discover the depth of his religiosity and your own foolishness in not heeding the wisdom of Shakespeare: “Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; for a loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.” Even the present clergy seems to believe that being religious and making a livelihood are not connected. (apologies to those who believe otherwise). Otherwise who could we explain the conduct of some bishops and guardians of church property grabbing land and using their positions to amass wealth? In his book, Business by the Book, Larry Burkett narrates an interesting incident that has lessons for the contemporary work culture. General George Patton had a problem with lazy parachute packers during the European campaign in World War II. Several pilots were killed when their chutes did not open because of sloppy packing. An inspection of in-use parachutes showed that as many as 30 per cent were improperly packed. In his inimitable style the General quickly solved the problem. He charged into the central parachute packing depot and commanded all packers to take the last chutes they had packed and come with him. He then herded them into a waiting C-46 aircraft and had them jump over the practice range, wearing the chutes they had just packed. He continued this practice for the reminder of the war and never again had a problem with slothful parachute packers. Our problem may not be with parachute packers but with those high up who make defence deals. A General Patton would have “treated” the drug manufacturers with their own drugs and would have made some diary owners to drink their own milk. We need such generals; but more than that we need preachers like Jonathan Edwards to warn offenders of the wrath of God and the heat of hellfire. An organisation like Crown Financial has a great challenge in promoting Godly ways of running businesses and handling finances. It has already trained 10 million Americans and has a vision for training 300 million people worldwide. Such work will have a great impact on the way religious people do business.

Sudanese engineers undergo 10-day training programme by IOC New Delhi, May 1 The advanced training on pipeline operations and maintenance was imparted at IndianOil’s Mathura-Jalandhar Pipeline (MJPL) at Bijwasan in Delhi and Salaya-Mathura Crude Oil Pipeline, (SMPL) at Chaksu near Jaipur in Rajasthan. The ten-day long training programme, from April 19 to 30, 2004, began with IndianOil, a leading oil conglomerate in India involved in transportation of crude oil and petroleum products in the vast subcontinent. The pipelines operations and maintenance management philosophy were demonstrated to the engineers from GNPOC at the large campus of Bijwasan and Chaksu stations. Optimization of pipeline operations, disaster management plan, oil accounting, mainline and station maintenance, mainline engine and pump, instrumentation, environment management, cathodic protection were some of the major areas dealt in the theoretical session supported by practical demonstration. One of the most fascinating aspects to the six trainees was the integrated approach to system design, encompassing system hydraulics, hydraulic gradient and maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) calculation from design aspect, coupled with line size optimization on the basis of time value of money. Additionally, classroom session on fire and safety followed by a mock drill of fire situation with hands on experience, which was astonishing to the six participant engineers from Sudan, as they never had seen such a comprehensive activity by any company engineer with regards to the kill-fire. Mr A. M. Uplenchwar, Director, (Pipelines), interacted with the participants and informed them about IndianOil’s business strength, its vast refining and marketing infrastructure and modern R and D center. IndianOil has expertise of nearly four decades in operations and maintenance of petroleum pipelines across the country. At present, IndianOil operates over 7,575 km long networks of crude oil and petroleum product pipelines with an annual capacity of 56.85 million metric tones, Mr Uplenchwar said. The highly experienced pipeline engineers of IndianOil are capable of not only undertaking the pipelines jobs from concept to commissioning and operations and maintenance but also impart technical know-how to the global customers, said Mr Uplenchwar in his elaborate interaction. He further emphasized that this training is basically to build a friendly relationship with GNPOC and Sudan so that there is mutual benefit in the competitive scenario. Addressing the participants after handing over the training certificates to the participants, Mr B. K. Mittal, Executive Director, (HR) stated that we consider Training and Development Department, not only the learning centre of the organization, but also an extremely important arm of human resource. In the IndianOil, the training focus is based on individual needs that link the business goals of the company, said Mr Mittal. The Training and Development Department of Pipelines, Head Office, designed and coordinated the programme for the participants. Six months earlier, another group of engineers from GNPOC, Sudan, had been provided training on operations and maintenance of mainline engines and pumps. The course design and subsequent execution of the same by the Training and Development Department of Pipelines had impressed the GNPOC as it was tailor made to their needs. The excellent demonstration by Pipelines Division, in providing world-class training, had set the stone rolling and GNPOC, Sudan, chose to send the second batch of engineers to be trained this time, on Pipeline operations and maintenance. This is indeed a feather in the cap of the pipelines division. The Training and Development Department of the Pipelines Division today is turning out to be not only the learning center for its employees but also the ‘earning center’ for the organization. |
