High Court Chandigarh, May 29 In his petition, petitioner Dr B. Singh has claimed that despite the September 13, 2003, order of the High Court, directing that no parallel Sukhna Lake will be created and developed by the Haryana Government in its territory, HUDA's plans continue to reflect its decision to carve out a new Sukhna. Mr Singh has said that a fresh map annexed with the reply of Mr Wadhawa dated April 2 shows that while the proposed IT park has been shifted, the parallel Sukhna remains where it was. He has said that this amounts to contempt of court and hence proceedings be initiated against him. Meanwhile, Dr Singh also claimed that in complete disregard of the Court orders, HUDA continued with collection of money in lieu of plots in the low volume habitation scheme. On March 19, 2003, a Division Bench had restrained HUDA from carrying on with its low volume habitation scheme. The Bench had also asked government to tell it about the steps that have been taken or will be taken to save the forest area around the Sukhna. To this, the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Haryana, has filed an affidavit in the High Court, saying that 1008 hectares around Sukhna Lake, the land which fall in Haryana, will be developed as reserve forest and afforestation work has been planned for the same. |

63 ambulances
procured Rohtak, May 29 Disclosing this, Dr B. S. Dahiya, Director-General, Health Services, said here today that the ambulances would be handed over to jobless youths and ex-servicemen for operation. They would charge a fee from the patients to be decided by the department. The operators would be responsible for the running costs of the ambulances. He said the government intended to encourage pregnant women to go to hospitals for delivery rather than doing the same at their homes. However, the ambulances would be available for other patients too, he added. Dr Dahiya said the department had submitted a pilot project to the Centre for private health care participation under which women from economically weaker sections would be provided pre and post-natal health care in private nursing homes. The government would subsidise the cost. He said the Centre had approved the project in principle and initially Haryana had sought Rs 20 crore for implementing the project in Ambala, Panipat, Rewari and Hisar districts. The financial approval was awaited. Dr Dahiya said an additional Rs 76
crore would be required if the project was approved for the entire
state. |

HAU
recognises PhD degree Hisar, May 29 The decision was taken by the varsity’s Academic Council in its meeting held here today. In the meeting, the council members held detailed deliberations on the work culture and infrastructural facilities available at Banasthali Vidyapeeth and approved the proposal for studying Ph.D degree programme in clothing and textile. In another decision, the council recommended to give special emphasis on inplant training to the final-year students of B.Sc (Hons), Home Science. The council members were of the view that inplant work experience for the students was as important as the exciting Rural Home Work Experience (RHWE) training. Hence, the duration of inplant training was increased from six weeks to eight weeks. Hundred per cent attendance requirement was made compulsory for such trainings. The council members decided to form
the advisory committee for the guidance and overall welfare of
students and devising legal methods for the formation of Memorandum of
Understandings (MoUs) in view of current requirements. The members
also decided to offer NCC training to undergraduate students from the
first year instead of the second year. |

Water crisis in Ambala City continues Ambala, May 29 Many times, a few localities in Ambala City get unpotable water supply due leakages in underground pipelines. Unplanned development and encroachments are main causes for the contamination of drinking water. The underground pipelines in the old part of the city were laid decades back. These have developed holes through which waste from sewerage enters the water supply. Generally, the water pipelines and sewerage are laid at a distance of one metre, but in Ambala City there are several areas in the city where the water pipelines are close to the drains. Last year, the Public Health Department had launched a campaign to disconnect domestic water connections passing close to drains, but this practice did not continue for long. There are a number of unauthorised colonies in Ambala City where chlorinated water supply is not available. According to information, as many as 20,000 residents of these colonies are drinking water from handpumps. The water of those pumps has not been tested in any laboratory and could contain harmful minerals which may create health problems. A resident of the Jaggi colony Ramesh Kumar said some children in the colony were suffering from water borne diseases. The people of this colony say it is the moral duty of the district administration to provide potable water to inhabitants. The municipal council does not desilt drains and sewerage regularly. Most of the drains in the city are filled with filth. Recently, at a meeting of the District Grievances Committee, some residents raised the issue of sanitation before Finance Minister Sampat Singh, who directed the administration to take up this issue on a priority basis. |

Breach in minor canal destroys crops Sirsa, May 29 According to farmers, the breach was caused due to negligence on part of the Irrigation Department. They said that the canal had not been desilted and was full of garbage.

Some farmers also alleged that a baildar in the Irrigation Department, despite knowing about the breach, did not report the matter. |
