Sikhs protest against helmet order Chandigarh, June 7 Beginning a march on scooters from the Sector
34 gurdwara, the protesters, carrying placards, blocked traffic at various crossings before reaching Sector 18
to lodge their protest against forcing women to wear helmets. In Sector
18, a rally was held and speeches against wearing helmets were made by
various speakers. Later, Mr N.S. Minhas, senior leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal,
along with former Mayor Harjinder Kaur and Mr Harcharan Singh Sawhnay met the UT Administrator, Justice O.P. Verma. They
submitted a memorandum against making helmets compulsory for women. Justice Verma said
their demand would be looked into in view of the high court order on helmets. Those who participated in the protest included Major N.S. Rangi (retd), Mr G.S. Mavi, Mr Gurbir Singh and Ms Iqbal Kaur. Meanwhile, members
of the Nari Jagriti Manch, organised an awareness drive in Sector 44 to
educate women riders to wear helmets. Standing at road turnings and roundabouts, the members stopped women driving two-wheelers and highlighted the benefits
of wearing helmets. They were of the opinion that most of the women drivers were convinced about wearing helmets and needed a slight prodding. They said the women drivers were in favour of making helmets mandatory. Earlier, a tent propped
up by the manch for the awareness camp was removed after members of various Sikh organisations compelled them to suspend
the drive. To avoid confrontation on the issue, the manch carried on with its programme by spreading out in small groups all over the sector. The awareness drive
was led by Ms Neena Tewari who said their organisation had no intention of hurting
the religious sentiment. “All we are interested in is mobilising public
opinion, irrespective of religious divisions,” added Ms Sarla Gupta and Ms
Anita Gupta. |

Chandigarh, June 7 Introduced as part of the Online Tax Accounting System (OLTAS) of the department, the user-friendly system would replace the existing manual compiling of the challans and ensure the speedy transfer of information about the tax collection of at the range-level, sources said. Under the new system, an online entry of the challans received would be made by the designated banks. These, in turn, would be uploaded to the system of the National Security Depository Limited (NSDL), the agency entrusted by department to issue Permanent Account Numbers (PANs). Detailing the benefits of the system, they added that the department’s new National Computer Centre would get the information at the click of the mouse. By downloading the data, the Zonal Accounts Offices would be able to transmit the data to the field offices for the calculation of tax collection. According to Ms P. Sahi, Commissioner of Income Tax(Computer Operations), the tax payers should quote their PAN on the non-TDS challan for the proper credit of the taxes paid. The Challan No 280 should be used for income, corporate and wealth tax payments. The Challan No 281 should be used for the payment of the TDS. The tax payers, who have applied for PAN should write their names and complete address in the challan. The tax payers should make payments only in the new challans in the banks, the sources said, adding that the manual entries would continue to be made for the time being as a “back-up service.” Adequate number of forms are available at the Office of the Commissioner of Income Tax I and II in Sector 17-A, all range offices and the Commissioner of Income Tax(Computer Operation), Central Revenue Building, Sector 17. |

New
tool for lawyers to extract information Chandigarh, June 7 For the first time, perhaps, in this part of the region, the organisation is conducting a workshop on June 13 for sensitising lawyers and social workers. The organisation — Human Rights Law Network — claims that the intention behind the training is to change professional methods while interacting with the victims, including women and children. It will be conducted by Assistant Professor of Psychology with the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research here, Dr Ashima Nehra. Giving details, the organisation members assert that the participants will be instructed about the methods of cautiously interacting with children who have undergone trauma due to child labour, physical or sexual abuse, parents’ divorce or other parental conflicts. The participants will also be explained the importance of psychological assistance for enabling a child to regain lost innocence. They will also be told about the ways in which rehabilitation can actually break the cycle of violence within a child. This kind of training, the members claim, has not been given priority in the country. In courtrooms, the lawyers can be witnessed repeatedly asking a child to narrate violent instances, including sexual assault incidents. “Statistics from year 2000 show that a woman is raped every hour in India,” says organisation's senior legal adviser, Parul Sharma. “Still victims are often reluctant to report rape. In the court, they are supposed to prove that the rapist sexually penetrated them in order to get a conviction. This can be damaging, mainly so when defence counsel uses harsh and callous rhetorics to further victimise the survivor”. The story, she adds, does not end here. “After proving that she has been raped, a victim is often ostracized from her family and community. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that rape laws are inadequate and definitions so narrow that prosecution is made complicated,” she asserts. “Recent amendments to laws and Supreme Court rulings have undoubtedly strengthened the mechanism for investigation and prosecution, resulting in an increase — even though minuscule — in the number of women coming forward to report rape cases. But there is no training of lawyers as to how to extract information in a humane manner, for instance through counseling techniques”. |

Complaint against MC official Panchkula, June 7 Addressing a press conference, Mr Joshi alleged that Mr Sihag had been harassing and threatening him repeatedly after he filed a complaint before the Deputy Commissioner against him for committing a fraud. In his complaint, he alleged that Mr Sihag had taken a loan of Rs 50,000 which he was not returning despite a lapse of five months. Later, he has sent a fresh application to the Superintendent of Police, Mr A.S. Chawla, the Deputy Commissioner, Ms Neelam Pradeep Kasni, and the City Magistrate, Ms Vandana Disodia, seeking initiation of legal proceedings against Mr Sihag. An inquiry on the case is already being done by Ms Disodia. When contacted, Mr Sihag said he had never threatened Mr Joshi. “As far as the charge of committing a fraud is concerned, I have put my side before the inquiry officer. Since Mr Joshi has no evidence against me, he is leveling all sorts of charges. The final inquiry report will bring out the truth,” he added. |

The growing vehicular rush in the city has resulted in vanishing roundabouts, gradually being replaced by traffic lights. A federation of sector welfare associations has appealed to the local Member of Parliament to replace the roundabouts of Sector 21, 22, 34, 35 with traffic lights. Despite being attractive on account of their maintenance, these are being seen as traffic hazards. Also, another accident prone turning lies on the stretch of road between the Tribune Colony and the office of a vernacular paper in the vicinity. Residents are demanding construction of a speedbreaker with proper signs since a school is located on the stretch. Challaning women drivers At a recently held press conference on the helmet issue, political parties were critical of the challaning drive of the Chandigarh police against women driving two wheelers without helmets. However, when quizzed on why they were politicising the issue, they had no answers. A senior leader admitted off the record that while he was leaving the house, his children had condemned him for being party to the protest. His only response was that he did not want to be singled out and had to toe his party’s line. The leaders of various political parties had no answers to why boys chose to sling the helmets on their arms while driving two-wheelers. Also, since they were leading the protest against helmets for women drivers, they were asked if they would take responsibility for any death from then on. They chose to be
evasive.
Mohali cops act swiftly Kudos to the Mohali police. In a rather rare incident, the police was able to recover a stolen scooter within an hour. The scooter was stolen from outside a park in Phase X. Within minutes beat officers reached the spot. They were told that the scooter was a old, battered one. And as the poor victim was about to take a rickshaw back home, the policemen came back with the stolen scooter. The thief managed to run away leaving the scooter on the road, said a policeman, adding that the old and battered condition of the scooter helped catch the thief. The thief could not go beyond 30 km in an hour on it!
Self-help groups A large number of branch managers of various banks and leaders of various self-help groups
(SHGs) attended a workshop for bankers of Chandigarh organised last week by the PNB lead bank, UT Chandigarh, in collaboration with Adult Education Department and
NABARD. Mrs Madhvi Kataria, SDM (South), and Mr S.S. Bhandari, Senior Regional Manager,
PNB, interacted with bankers and advised them to be proactive with workers of self-help groups. The PNB has so far trained 400 ‘prerarks’ and head ‘prerarks’ of Adult Education Department. At present, there are more than 100
operative self-help groups in various pockets of Chandigarh but 76 of them are quite active. These groups are mostly pool their monthly savings and create fund for further lending among needy folk at a higher rate of 2 per cent per annum. Some of the groups have now collected a corpus of more than Rs 2 lakh and are planning to start production activity also.

Stray dog menace One of the most-populated sectors — Sector 20 — seems to be a virtual heaven for stray
dogs. With the Municipal Corporation (MC) looking the other way, the stray dogs seem to be having a field day in the sector. Not to talk of the parks and greenbelts, the open spaces in front of the houses are at the receiving end of the stray cattle menace. The residents, particularly the children, face the risk of being bitten by the stray dogs and puppies. Residents demand that the MC, whose record of providing amenities to the city have been
lacklustre, should take preventive measures before the situation takes a turn for the worse.
Future of roller
skating Baraldi Aldo, a renowned roller hockey coach from Italy, was here in the city. During his stay here for nearly a week he was much impressed by the kind of hospitality accorded to him by the Roller Skating Federation of India. He had a word of praise for the camp in charge, Ms Madhu
Bahl, Principal of the KB DAV Centenary School, Sector 7, where the camp was held in the international specification skating rink. Aldo said Indian women skaters were more aggressive and talented than their men counterparts. He said in roller hockey, which was mainly confined to North India, women had showed much of their skills and could be world beaters if given continuous training in a methodical manner. He said the junior girls needed to be given more exposure at the international level. He said skating was very popular in Europe and wonder why the Indian Government was not giving due recognition to it. Aldo was accompanied by his wife. He said he liked Punjabi food and tasted other Indian delicacies besides various Italian dishes.

Rushil’s date with Venus transit Mohali, June 7 A brilliant student,
Rushil, just passed his Class X with 94 per cent marks. And his ambition is to be an
astro-engineer. His parents, father Arun Goel, a bureaucrat, and mother, a college teacher, now talk in terms of the most beautiful stars and planets. “You have no idea how beautiful the main ring of the Saturn is. And of course the Venus, its always hiding its face. Also the Neptune, its enormous and simply out of this world,” says
Rushil. Having watched the lunar eclipse and the transit of Venus across the Moon, Rushil is now immensely excited about the rare event he will be watching tomorrow. “It is rare event and I am lucky to be able to watch it from my house. In fact I have invited all my friends for the event.” he says adding that he has been reading all that is being reported about the event in the newspapers and on the net. “I have always been fascinated by the stars but when I visited the Kennedy Space Centre at Florida in May, 2000, I insisted on buying a telescope. It was expensive but I was allowed. This is a wonderful piece and can magnify the object 450 times. Since I understand its working, I am able to do many things with it,” he says. And if you thought that star gazing is a night bird’s hobby, here is the surprise. “The Sun is the most beautiful star. It is a favourite with all of us and many afternoons are spent watching the Sun.” For
Rushil, Chandigarh’s budding astronomer, tomorrow is a big day when his favourite star will be dotted with his elusive planet Venus. “Venus intrigues me. One can never see it completely. The more hidden it is the brighter it is,” he quips. |

N.K. Singla, District Health Officer, said the situation at the BSF camp was under control and there was no need to panic. “Since no fresh case of diarrhoea has been reported from the camp, we can safely conclude that this was not a cholera outbreak but a limited wave that has been controlled,” he added. He added that other than the one case of Lily Das in the
PGI, which was a confirmed case of cholera, other patients were suffering from gastroenteritis or
diarrhoea. Commandant Hava Singh, in charge, BSF camp, said the health of all jawans was being monitored carefully and no one had shown any sign of sickness. |

Fauji Beat The Territorial Army (TA), a part-time volunteer force, was raised in 1949. It is mobilised at the time of an emergency to provide a second line of defence to the country. Experience shows that mobilisation of the TA infantry battalions takes four or five weeks after the declaration of an emergency. This period is too long because the wars that we have fought after Independence have generally been short. It seems that the new experiment of raising the home-and-hearth TA battalions provides an answer to this problem. In May, three such battalions were raised in the Kashmir valley by recruiting locals from that area. These units are to be deployed close to their homes, from Kupwara in north Kashmir to Banihal. To make optimum use of the TA, the concept of home-and-hearth should be made applicable to all TA units. They should be recruited from the same area where they are to be deployed. Four such battalions have also been raised from the Jammu region for deployment in that area. The only question that is being asked about the Jammu and Kashmir units is: “Will their personnel be able to fight the militants who are also from the same area?” Only the time will provide an answer. Missing split-pins For a tiny-splitpin, a Jaguar aircraft has been lost in the current hi-tech era. This clearly brings out that absence of even the smallest component can play havoc with any equipment. Of the 80 Jaguar aircraft with the IAF, four crashed this year. The fourth accident occurred near Ambala on May 7, resulting in the grounding of the Jaguar fleet. A missing split-pin is said to have caused this accident. All Jaguars are being thoroughly checked by a team of British-Aerospace and HAL. No Jaguar, according to the IAF, will take to the sky until it is declared 100 per cent fit. Surprisingly, our aircraft accident rate is going up. After MiG-21, the Jaguar has begun to cause fear psychosis in the minds of pilots and the public. No doubt, the Jaguars are being technically checked. But what needs to be looked into is the standard of maintenance and the state of spare parts’ reserves. It was only in March that the Jaguar aircraft won a thumping applause from experts when two Jaguars flying at a speed of 450 knots, carrying two BL-755 cluster bombs, attacked the bulk petroleum installation. It was in the largest firepower demonstration by the IAF, named “Vayu Shakti-2004”, which was held at
Pokhran.
Sonia’s blessings According to news reports, senior Army officers are turning up at Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s residence with state secrets in an effort to get promotions or lucrative postings, said former Defence Minister George Fernandes on May 30. Mr Fernandes had quoted a paragraph from the editorial of a newspaper which reads: “Career-minded officers and agency chiefs are calling on her (Sonia Gandhi) and briefing her on national security.” If it is true, it is unfortunate for the stability and discipline of the Army. This trend, if allowed to set in, will not only politicise the Army, but affect its fighting potential to a large extent. It will not augur well for the country. There is neither a dearth of maverick politicians, nor is there a shortage of self-seekers in olive green
uniforms. The possibility of Mr Fernandes using the familiar Army arena to play his political game cannot be ruled out. The government must come out with a statement on this news, for its silence will send wrong signals. Pritam Bhullar |

Yoga is thrust upon them Panchkula, June 7 Attracting people from all walks of life, the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) ground in Sector 5, is virtually under siege. The 15,000-strong crowd, thronging the ground, has
willfully chosen to go through the strenuous grind to get into shape. Then, there are those who wish the yoga fever had never caught on, that they could have slept peacefully through the night and woken up fresh the next morning. The last one week has changed all that for drivers and security men of politicians, bureaucrats and others. Yoga is being thrust upon them. Their morning begins at 3 when they drive their “saab” or “memsaab” to the venue in the official vehicle. Once there, the wait for the clock to strike 7 begins. The family members of ministers of the INLD-government, the Chief Justice of the High Court, escorted by two pilot cars, are there, and the camp seems to be a must-attend for bureaucrats of Punjab and Haryana accompanied by their wives. While they try their hand at exercises involving stretching and straining, the drivers and security men, condemned to the choc-a-block parking, kill time in their own way. With no option but to wait, most of them doze off in their cars to the lullaby of Swami Ramdev’s barely audible instructions in the parking area. There are others who try chatting up and making new friends and still others are happy practising simple yogic mudras and making mental notes of the Swamiji’s sensible injunctions. A policeman on duty at the venue since 3 am says, “We are not even lucky enough to be able to go to sleep once the camp begins. Since there is very little I can do without getting noticed, I adopted the nail-rubbing therapy as suggested by Swamiji on the first day. Given the time I am devoting to it, hopefully, I will get my black hair back by the time the camp concludes,” he says. Finally, is time to go back and it is not as easy as one might perceive it to be. Honking cars and blaring sirens seem unable to find their way out of the madness in the parking, nobody willing to wait a while. “It is another half an hour lost if the vehicle is parked deep into the ground. Everybody wants to leave the minute the camp is over. The patience they learn inside through the various exercises is easily forgotten the moment they are behind the steering wheel. It is beyond our comprehension,” a driver
says. |

Cyclist robbed of cash, mobile Chandigarh, June 7 Jay Prakash, a mechanic with a private firm in Mani Majra, was returning home on a bicycle when around five persons chased him from the traffic signal. The small truck pulled in front of him around 11.30 pm and the occupants of the vehicle started beating him up. Jay Prakash received eight stitches on his head besides treatment for injuries on arms and waist, his brother Mintoo told the Chandigarh Tribune today. Mintoo said his brother was beaten up so badly that he fell unconscious. After he regain consciousness, Jay Prakash approached the patrolling staff of a police control room vehicle. But he was disappointed as the patrolling staff said they could help him only if he made a complaint to the police control room on phone number 100. But Jay Prakash could not call the police as his mobile had been snatched by the assailants. Dismayed at the response of the patrolling party, the injured Jay Prakash reached home bleeding and limping. His brother took him to the Industrial Area Police Station. The police personnel asked them to go to Government Medical College and Hospital in Sector 32 for treatment, saying that they would reach the hospital and register a case. The police, however, said the person had initially told patrolling staff that he was beaten up near the railway gate in Mani Majra and the injuries did not indicate that it was a serious matter. Industrial Area police station has taken the complaint of Jay Prakash and is investigating the case. |
