Police probe against CBSE officer on
Chandigarh, December 24 A senior police official said the probe had begun after some women employees in the Regional Office of the board lodged a complaint against the regional officer at the Sector 34 police station. To record the statement of the complainants, police personnel from the Sector 34 police station today went to the regional office of the board in Sector 32.They had to go to the residence of some complainants as being a restricted holiday, some of them were on leave. The DSP, South, Mr S. Randhawa, said it was a time-bound inquiry and would be completed soon. He said the matter would be probed thoroughly. He said Junior Assistant Harpreet Singh, who had attempted suicide yesterday, had been booked under Section 309 of the IPC. Since it was bailable offence, the Junior Assistant could be given bail by the Station House Officer after being arrested, said the DSP. The victim, who was discharged from the GMCH, Sector 32, last evening, however, claimed that four unidentified persons had thrown phenyl on his face yesterday. He said he had received an injury in his eye. The Junior Assistant was protesting in support of the women employees who have levelled charges of sexual harassment against the Regional Officer. The Secretary of the board has issued a memorandum to the Junior Assistant, asking him to explain his conduct by December 27, sources in the board said . Following yesterday’s incident, two senior officials from the board headquarters in Delhi, Mr G Balasubramanian, Chief Vigilance Officer, and Mr Yog Raj Sachdeva, Deputy Secretary (Administration), today visited the office to assess the situation. The Chairman of the board, Mr Ashok Ganguly, told The Tribune that certain unscrupulous elements in the regional office were creating a nuisance to ward off the attention of officials from the real issue of tampering with answer books. “After an answer book scam was unearthed by the police two years ago, we transferred some officials from the regional office. However, some ‘wrong persons’ were still left in the office”, he said, adding that the issue was being taken very seriously. He said the board was in favour of handing over the investigations of the tampering case to the Chandigarh Police.

Truck cleaner murder case cracked
Chandigarh, December 24 The case was cracked after the police arrested the main suspect, Gurmeet Singh (23), from Jalalabad in Ferozpore district last evening. The motive behind the murder was making quick money to go abroad. The Deputy Superintendent of Police (South), Mr S.S. Randhawa, while addressing mediapersons at the Sector 36 police station, said Gurmeet Singh used to work as a clerk in a private company, Kisan Fed Ltd, but was expelled from the job after being caught in a case of embezzlement. Rendered jobless, Gurmeet decided to go abroad and contacted a travel agent. He gave money to a travel agent, who arranged a visa for him to go to Malaysia. Gurmeet got his tickets booked for December 23, but later advanced the visit to December 16. The police was keeping tabs on him during this period as Buta Singh, a driver, had recorded his statement with the police before being discharged from a hospital on December 10. The police contacted the travel agent in Delhi and seized the passport of the suspect and arrested him from his village yesterday. Mr Randhawa said Inderjit Singh (22) of Pilsian village in Fatehabad district and driver Buta Singh (24), a resident of Mirpur Khurd in Mansa district, were employed with Kisan Fed Ltd in Jalalabad, which makes refined oil and ghee. They used to transport consignments of the company to a firm Surindra Enterprises, in Nawanshahr district. On December 3, both of them came to Nawanshahr consignment. Buta Singh received a payment of Rs 2.45 lakh from Surindra Enterprises and then they went to another company in Nawanshahr and received a sum of Rs 1,20, 200 from the purchase officer of the company. At that time Buta Singh received a phone call from Kisan Fed and the purchase officer of the company told him to go to Mohali to buy some chemicals. When Buta Singh went back to his truck, he saw Gurmeet Singh sitting beside Inderjit Singh in the truck. Gurmeet Singh requested Buta Singh to take him along with them to Jalalabad. However, Buta Singh said they were going to Mohali. Gurmeet them told them that he had some work in Chandigarh and wanted to go with them. The police said they started from Nawanshahr at around 7 pm and reached Balongi, near Mohali, at around 10 pm. Gurmeet Singh gave them sedative-laced omelette. Thereafter, they went to a roadside Dabha to have food, where Inderjit Singh stumbled under the influence of the sedative. Gurmeet Singh took him to the truck and left for Chandigarh around midnight. He stopped the truck near the Markfed building and bludgeoned Inderjit’s head with a concrete slab, resulting in his death. Gurmeet then proceeded to kill Buta Singh. He slit the latter’s threat and smashed his head with a wrench. Believing that he had killed both the driver and the cleaner, Buta Singh left for the ISBT, Sector 17, to board a bus for Delhi. He took away Rs 3.65 lakh along with a bag of clothes belonging to Inderjit Singh as his own cloths had blood strains, said the police.

4 cops pay for laxity
Mohali, December 24 According to the SSP, Ropar, Mr S.P. Singh, two poppy husk smugglers travelling in a Scorpio had met with an accident near Sohana last week. “The two were driving away after they had delivered drugs at Tangori village. Their Scorpio was hit by a tractor-trailer. Following the accident, they ran away, leaving the vehicle on the spot. The vehicle remained on the accident spot for the night, during which the smugglers came back and set it on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence against them,” said the SSP. Taking a serious note of the lapse on the part of the Sohana police, the SSP today suspended SHO Vinod Sharma, ASI Purshottam Lal, Head Constable Balwinder Singh and constable Kulwinder Singh. “They could have been caught on the spot had the police been more alert. But once they had managed to escape, the police should have been vigilant and ensured that the vehicle was impounded and kept at the police station,” said the SSP. The police, instead of carting the vehicle to the police station, left it on the road for the night. SHO Vinod Sharma, according to the SSP, had decided to shift the vehicle in the morning. Sources added that the SHO was, however, called on special duty at Chamkaur Sahib the next morning for which he left at 5.30 am. The vehicle was forgotten and none of his subordinates took any cognisance of the accident. The smugglers reportedly returned to the site and set the vehicle ablaze in an attempt to destroy any traces of drugs inside the vehicle. The police was called to the spot, but the inside of the vehicle was completely burnt. The SSP said the police had managed to identify the two smugglers, who were from Haryana and a hunt was on to nab them. “There could still be traces of drugs inside the vehicle. However, two managed to destroy the number-plate and the drivers were traced using the chassis number,” said the SSP.

Burglars strike at Panchkula shops
Panchkula, December 24 With the police seemingly clueless about the spate of serial burglaries in the township, last night’s incident has put the police in a spot. In spite of tall claims by the police about its intensified patrolling, this is the third case of serial burglaries in the town during December. Last week, cash and goods from three adjacent shops in the Sector 18 market were stolen. In the first week of December, five shops at Abheypur village were broken into. The burglary came to light around 7 am, when Mr Satish Bansal of Bansal Departmental Store came to the market and found the locks on his shutter broken. He went in and found that an amount of around Rs 7,000 lying in the cash box was missing, as were a large number of cosmetics, soaps, several boxes of desi ghee and other household items. Mr Bansal raised the alarm and soon all shopkeepers in the market knew about the burglary. As the other shopkeepers came in, they found that the locks of their shops were also broken. An amount of Rs 1000, dry fruits, ghee, toiletries and cosmetics worth several thousands were stolen from New Swastik Agency Departmental Store. The miscreants took away the cash box from Santosh Medical Hall. At Surendra Agency, a paint and hardware shop, Rs 1,000 and some stock of paint were stolen. The burglars also struck at several other shops, including Rekha Boutique, Ma Vaishno Stationery Store, Amar Departmental Store and another shop. A visit to the market revealed that the burglars had a lot of time to themselves while they were executing their plan. Other than this, two shops at Budanpur village — Gill Medical Store and Satish STD and Karyana Store were also broken into. An amount of Rs 1,000 was stolen from Satish STD. The police has registered an FIR.

Use religion to reform society, says Canada SAD chief
Chandigarh, December 24 In India for attending the 300th martyrdom functions of Guru Gobind Singh’s Sahibzaadas, he says: “Religion is sacrosanct. Ït should not be subjected to public scrutiny. Controversies pertaining to religion should be resolved after constituting expert committees and holding discussions. Instead of rectifying religion the wrong way, it should be used to bring about reforms in the society”. Reforms through religion? What exactly does that mean? “Well, in Canada the courts are not punishing teenagers for indulging in minor offences in a substantial number of cases. In fact, the courts are directing them to serve the society by spending specific number of hours in religious institutions, including gurdwaras”. Elaborating upon his contention, Mr Gill says: “Some are sentenced to serve the masses for 40 days and some to 20. It all depends upon the seriousness of the offence”. The idea, he says, is not to make hardcore criminals out of youngsters by sentencing them to imprisonment. But to give them a chance at repentance and in the process make better human beings out of them. Giving details, Mr Gill says: “At any given point of time there are up to 10 youngsters serving the masses in religious institutions spread through the length and breadth of Canada”. Encouraged by the system’s success in Canada and other countries, he plans to take up the matter with the Indian Government. “Youngsters, who sway, should be given at least one chance to enter the mainstream again”, he adds. Then there is another issue that he intends to discuss with the authorities here. He says, “the Indians in Canada, particularly the Sikh community, are doing well. There are 10 MPs and other politicians. Even the Health Minister is a Sikh. In all, there are 3.5 lakh Sikhs and approximately 200 gurdwaras in Canada. It is the Punjabi aggressiveness that makes them successful. But they do not feel at home when they return to their native country”. The reason, he says, is not hard to see. “The authorities in India are doing precious little to safeguard their interests. The incidents of lawlessness and land grabbing by relatives and other anti-social elements are taking them away from their roots. You may find it hard to believe, but a substantial number of NRIs have to move the court to get back their own properties. The situation is particularly bad in Jalandhar and Ludhiana. Let us hope the authorities do something about it”.

Indian cinema has never been more vibrant: Shabana
Chandigarh, December 24 So though her writer-husband Javed Akhtar staunchly believes that the Indian cinema has abandoned the cause of working classes, Shabana feels the division is inevitable, given the fact that the new breed of filmmakers has roots in urban jungles, not in rural calm. In fact, she favours the trend of churning which has helped the Indian filmmakers realise that there is no such thing as a “pan-Indian audience”. “That’s why we now have films catering to the lowest common denominator,” says the actress, who was in the city along with Javed, brother Baba Azmi and Tanvi Azmi. In an unusually candid conversation at Haryana Raj Bhavan today, Shabana and Javed talked about the trends in Indian and world cinemas, often extending contradictory opinions. Interweaving the discussion with fond references to Kaifi Azmi, the two spoke in unison about the bombardment of trashy images on screen. “Film is an expensive exercise and capital brings its own agenda,” said Javed Akhtar, adding that not many writers can swim against the tide. “I have lost many films because I refused to compromise on creativity. There is no dearth of good cinema, but the audience has to be sensitive to it. Greater access to art and culture can enhance their level of film appreciation,” he said, while Shabana talked of “Morning Raga” where she plays a Carnatic singer. “The role was challenging. I actually learnt the swarams to live up to the role. Everything got going the moment I got my gestures right,” said Shabana who was applauded for her performance by Pt Ravi Shankar and Shankar Mahadevan. Now Hollywood-bound, the actress admitted that Hollywood was not ready for Indian actors. “Asian actors are demanding colour-blind roles which mean Indians should not be considered for roles of Indians alone,” she said, adding that Indian cinema now offered endless possibilities for women. “I call this a shift from Rambos to Rambolinas,” she remarked, commending the fact that where a decade ago women past 30 could never play a protagonist, now they literally lead from the front. “We must, however, provide greater visibility to working women,” said Shabana, while Javed focused on the issue of morality in films. “We hardly show working classes in films now. The economic divide in cinema is very visible. As a writer, I have to forever walk the tightrope between morality and trash lest calculations go haywire. There was a time when script writers were asked to write for small town people. Now it is just the reverse. Multiplexes have created a “feel-good” cinema which masks reality. In such a scenario, we have to struggle hard to remain relevant and meaningful at the same time.” Associated with classics like “Veer-Zaara” and “Lakshya”, Javed is now reinventing himself by reaching out for diverse sounding boards. He has finished writing a script for a film and is writing songs for the first-ever romantic film being made by Shyam Benegal.

Year of reorientation for armed forces
Vijay Mohan Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, December 24 The most important development in 2004 was, perhaps, the implementation of certain portions of the A V Singh Committee report on restructuring the Army’s officer cadre. The long-pending implementation, which affects thousands of middle rung officers, is aimed at giving a younger age profile to commanders in the field and ensuring faster mobility up the hierarchy. No decision has been taken on several aspects of the report, including lateral induction of armed forces personnel into paramilitary forces. The implementation of the recommendations has also opened up a debate, with a feeling in certain quarters that though the new policy may satisfy individual aspirations, it would adversely affect the efficiency of the services and may create certain command and control problems. What was keenly watched by military observers was the Army’s new “Cold Start” war doctrine unveiled this year. The doctrine, taking into account the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and emerging concept of War by Other Means (WOM), moves away from the conventional deployment of cumbersome strike corps to launch offensives and instead revolves around highly flexible brigade-sized integrated battle groups packing a powerful punch and supported by airborne or naval elements. A massive demonstrative exercise, Divya Astra was organised by the Army and the AIr Force in the deserts of Rajasthan earlier this year to validate some of the concepts incorporated in the doctrine. As far as RMA and WOM is concerned, the government and the forces got a taste of unconventional warfare when the threat of massive flash floods kept the Army and the Himachal Pradesh government on tenterhooks for almost two weeks. China’s refusal to allow an inspection team to visit the site of a huge artificial lake threatening to burst or releasing correct information about it made the Indian establishment hostage to a situation it could not control. This resulted in the entire district administration being in a disarray, uncertainty among the local population, mobilisation of men and material and a huge expenditure towards no meaningful result. The defence establishment kept its doors open not only to cooperation with foreign armies, but also for wider dissemination of information within the country. Joint exercise with foreign armies apart, the US Defence Secretary, Mr Donald Rumsfeld, and the Chief of Defence Staff of the United Kingdom, Gen Sir Mike Jackson, were among the most noticeable visitors to India this year. Other events included the World Military Dental Congress, a Pacific Armies Management seminar and a seminar on army—media interaction. For the Air Force, it was flying high all the way. After drubbing the US Air Force during a joint exercise at Gwalior, men and machines from Ambala, Chandigarh and Agra flew all the way to Alaska for multi-nation exercises. Never had IAF fighters, Jaguars in this case, flown this far. Jaguars came into focus when the entire fleet had to be grounded for a thorough inspection following a spate of technical problems. The IAF added another feather to its cap when it set a record for the world’s highest helicopter landing, with a Cheetah touching down at Saserkangri near Leh at an altitude density of 25,150 feet in November. The neighbouring area of Siachen had a distinguished visitor when Dr A P J Abdul Kalam became the first president to visit the world’s highest battlefield. On the individual front, four officers stole the limelight. The GoC-in-C, Western Command, Lieut-Gen J.J. Singh, was named as the next Army Chief, with the most significant aspect of this announcement being that he is the first Sikh officer to be elevated to the Army’s top position. Major Rajyavardhan Rathore became a national hero after he bagged a silver medal in shooting at the Athens Olympics. Two women officers, Lieut-Gen Punita Arora and Air Marshal Padma Bandopadhya, became the first women officers to be elevated to the three-star status. Besides, two troopers, Mohammad Arif and Jagsir Singh, who had been taken prisoner-of-war during the 1999 Kargil conflict were released after five years of captivity in Pakistani jails and returned home to a hero’s welcome. In sharp focus was the Army’s judicial system, with several high-profile trials by courts martial being convened during the year.

Market panel heads for revenue deficit
Chandigarh, December 24 Inquiries revealed that the total collections till November 30 had been to the tune of Rs 2,11,83,446, which compared poorly to Rs 2,47,58,026 for the same period last year. In fact, going by the current collection trends, the revenue receipts are not likely to touch Rs 3,00,76,123, the amount the committee netted by the financial year, ending March, 2004. Sources said in the absence of a full-time secretary, there was hardly any supervision on the lower-level staff. As a result, the evasion of market fee by unscrupulous traders and producers was rampant, resulting in revenue loss to the exchequer. Currently, Mr P.K. Kashyap, Superintendent in the DC’s office, is holding the additional charge of secretary. With his hands full due to administrative work, he barely finds time to clear the routine files. The committee collects the market fee at the rate of 2 per cent of the total value of the produce, including fruits, vegetables and cereals, brought to the grain market, Sector 26. The revenue generated through the collection of the market fee is utilised for upgradation of infrastructure at the grain market and undertaking developmental works in villages of the Union Territory. The sharp fall in revenue will mean lesser facilities for visitors, including farmers, at the grain market. Moreover, the villages, which are already crying for amenities in the wake of cuts in grants from the Administration, will also get reduced amount for developmental works from the committee, the sources added. Mr Bhupinder Singh, chairman of the Market Committee, admitted that the fall in the revenue had mainly been due to the absence of a full-time secretary. In fact, the committee had netted an amount of Rs 3,16,46,167 for the financial year, ending March,2003, when Mr Jaspal Singh, who was on deputation from Punjab, was the secretary. Saying that he would take up the issue of the appointment of a permanent secretary with the Administration, Mr Bhupinder Singh warned that strict action would be taken against traders and farmers evading market fee. The committee might launch a special drive to earn more revenue, he added.

Smokers in public places to be challaned
Mohali, December 24 He said a fine of Rs 200 would be imposed when a person would be caught smoking for the first time.

Mr Agrawal said officials of the rank of Sub-Inspector and above would be challaning the violators. Certain NGOs would also be involved in this regard to avoid allegations of police harassment. Ms Vineet Gill Munish, national professional officer, Tobacco Free Initiative, World Health Organisation, New Delhi, said one person died every six seconds due to the consumption of tobacco. The level of epidemic had reached such a level that 2,200 persons died every day due to diseases caused by the use of tobacco. She said that 90 per cent cases of oral cancer were found in India. She added that a survey conducted by the PAU, Ludhiana, revealed that 66 per cent of school children consumed gutka and develop this habit from class VI onwards. The SDM, Mr M.L. Sharma, also highlighted the ill-effects of the use of tobacco. Mrs Amteshwar Kaur, president GSA, said the function was the first in the series to be organised for getting anti-smoking laws implemented.
