Use of red light atop vehicle: probe ordered
Our Correspondent
Zirakpur, January 5 Talking to this correspondent, Mr Sharma said he had asked the DIG, (Traffic) at Chandigarh to inquire if Executive Officer of the Zirakpur Nagar Panchayat had been permitted to use red light blinker atop his vehicle and a black film on the window panes of his official vehicle. It may be recalled that Chandigarh Tribune had highlighted the violation of the Punjab and Haryana High Court directions by Mr Girish Verma, Executive Officer of the Zirakpur Nagar Panchayat. The EO has been violating the court orders by using black films on the window panes of his official vehicle and a red light atop it without permission. The Punjab Police in September 2004 had directed all government officials-except Additional Secretaries and Principal Secretaries-to remove red lights from their vehicles. The permission to use the lights earlier granted to them was, subsequently, cancelled. Efforts to contact Mr G. Vajralingam, Director of the Department of Local Government of Punjab, proved futile till the filing of this report.

March 31 deadline tough to meet for pvt schools
Chandigarh, January 5 It may be mentioned that March 31, 2005, was the deadline for the schools in residential areas to shut their operations. Of the 11 sites allotted last year, many schools are running from residential areas in different parts of the city. “ The March 31 deadline was in contravention of the terms and conditions of the allotment which specify that the new construction has to be raised within three years of the allotment, “ said Ms Uma Wadhera, president of the Association of Private Educational Institutions. Ms Wadhera, who runs Rosevilla Model School, has been allotted site in Sector 19. The managements of the school, who are also members of the association, said it was practically impossible to raise construction in the short period and shift students to the new premises. “Can the schools discontinue their classes from March 31 till the time the new school building was ready? Asked Mr Anil Thakur, manager of a school. The administration should give some more period to those who have been allotted sites”, he said. The schools were either allotted the sites in October 2003 and January 2004. “The administration took seven to eight months to clear the zoning plan of the sites”. Ms Wadhera said the association had urged the Administration to also give another one-year extension to other schools running from residential areas. “ If the administration cannot give relaxation to the schools in the urban areas, it should withdraw the amendments made for other trades”. She said with yesterday’s order of relaxation to crèches and schools in Mani Majra, illegal colonies and periphery, around 59 schools would be benefited. At least 87 schools in the urban areas were still left out, she added.

Major-general in the dock over corruption charges
Chandigarh, January 5 Sources said that the officer was presently holding the appointment of General Officer Commanding (GOC) of an infantry division under Headquarters, Western Command. It is learnt that the Army had received an anonymous complaint against the officer, alleging certain lapses and misappropriations committed by him while he was serving as a sub-area commander in the rank of a brigadier in Uttar Pradesh. Based on the complaint, Headquarters, Central Command, Lucknow, ordered a court of inquiry to ascertain the contents of the complaint and fix responsibility for lapses if any. The court of inquiry found the officer prima facie blameworthy for certain acts of commission and omission in land dealings, sources said. It is significant to note that the complaint was sent after the officer had been promoted as major general and assigned the command of an important formation. According to instructions issued by the Adjutant General's Branch at Army Headquarters, all complaints, even anonymous ones, are to be investigated and action to be initiated if they contain any substance. The general is to be removed from the command and is to be attached to Headquarters, Delhi Area. Orders to this extent have been issued. Hearing of charge, where the charges framed against him will be read out to him, will be done by the GOC, Delhi Area. Attachment implies that summary of evidence is to be recorded in this case, which would determine whether the general would be tried by a court martial.

BSF, Pakistan Rangers hold meeting on narcotic smuggling
Chandigarh, January 5 The issue came up for discussion during a quarterly meeting of the BSF, Pakistan Rangers and Indian and Pakistani anti-narcotics enforcement agencies. The meeting was held on December 29 at the Wagha Border in India. The next meeting is scheduled in Lahore, the informed sources told The Tribune here today. The Pakistani officials had apparently planned to put the Indian counterparts on back foot to preclude complaints about "laxity" on the part of Pakistanis in checking smuggling of narcotics from Pakistan to India. The Indian officials clarified that narcotics smuggled from Pakistan had been seized at several places but in Punjab region it was not much. The Indian officials said that the contraband coming from Pakistan was identifiable as there were distinguishable sealing marks on the packets. The Indian authorities told the Pakistanis that it did not accept an intruder in India who was killed in an encounter and 9 kg of heroine was recovered from him in May this year. The Indian authorities said that the area from the Indian side had been sealed before the smuggler was killed and the only possibility was an entry from the Pakistan side. Those involved in this operation also said one of accomplices of the killed person crawled back to the Pakistani side when the Border Security Force (BSF) had rained bullets on the two smugglers. The suspected Pakistani smuggler first shot at the anti-narcotics enforcers inviting a bloody reply from the Indian side. The body of the killed person was shown to the Pakistani Rangers but they "disowned" the person. The Pakistani delegation told the Indian side that they have separate police stations to deal with narcotics and their seizures were heavy. The Indian anti-narcotics body is civil and there are no police stations for the purpose. The Pakistani side also said there was death penalty for smuggling narcotics in the country. The Indian side asked if Pakistan could inform how many narco-smugglers had been sent to gallows. The Pakistani side could not cite a single example. The Pakistan side said that India had only been raising a bogey of supplies from Pakistan while seizures last year along the border in Punjab had not been beyond 13 kg. Ultimately, ice was broken between the two teams when they decided to first implement decisions taken earlier before moving forward with a new agenda. A major decision was taken by the border forces of the two countries with both agreeing that any inadvertent intruder across the border should be handled by the border forces of the two countries for 24 hours and immediately returned to the respective country. If there is any suspicion on the person and evidence of spying, intruders could be handed over to the police of the respective country.

BJP protest over harassment of Dalits
Chandigarh, January 5 BJP leader-cum-national executive of the party's youth wing Vineet Joshi claimed that the detainees were being forced to sign on stamped blank papers. He, along with other senior BJP leaders, were also "supporting the cause of the Dalits and were instrumental in highlighting their plight". Mr Joshi added that the other two, picked up by the police, were former panch Malkiat Singh and Dila Singh. The latter was maternal grandfather of Class V student Nanak Singh. His quarrel with classmate Amarjit Singh during a cricket match had led to the alleged controversy. Mr Joshi added that they would hold demonstration outside Congress President Sonia Gandhi's residence for action against the erring cops and registration of a case against the accused. A senior officer in the Punjab Police Headquatrers here denied the allegations. But he added that he would look into the matter and take necessary action if there was any substance in the allegations. The Punjab State Human Rights Commission has already ordered a probe into the incident. Commission Chairman Justice N.C. Jain, on Tuesday, directed Additional Director-General of Police (Crime) to look into the incident and submit his report. Justice Jain had also directed the ADGP to "ensure through a responsible officer that no harassment was caused to the complainants". Giving details of the incident, the three victims — Bittu Singh, Gurbaksh Singh and Piara Singh — had claimed that the "aggressors" were nursing a grudge against them. The reason, they added, was that their relative Jangir Singh's son Nanak Singh had quarreled with classmate Amarjit Singh, belonging to the upper caste members. The fight had taken place during a cricket match on November 22. A few days after the quarrel, a mob belonging to the upper caste had surrounded them, along with another relative Balwinder Singh, while they were going to the local bus stand in Patrawala village in Fazilka district. Balwinder Singh had managed to escape, but the three were taken to the residence of the sarpanch belonging to the same caste. After liquor was forced down their throat, the three were forced to drink urine. As if that was not enough, the police was called in. The cops took them to the chowki after thrashing.

Govt comes under fire for promoting
Chief Engineer
Chandigarh, January 5 The Front Chairman Col G.S. Sandhu asserted that an inquiry into the collapse of the Upper Bari Doab Canal (UBDC) had indicted him. Describing the canal as "one of the best", he added that the same was possibly damaged beyond repair when Jarnail Singh was the SE. Mr Jarnail Singh could not be contacted. However, denying the allegations sources in his office claimed that Mr Jarnail Singh was not involved in any scam whatsoever. They added that his promotion as the Chief Engineer was based purely on merit. Meanwhile, addressing a press conference this afternoon, Col Sandhu added that the "allegations were serious enough and warranted his dismissal". Even though the Punjab and Haryana High Court had upheld his seniority, the officer should not have been promoted, Col Sandhu said. The decision, he demanded, should be reversed immediately. Elaborating upon the effects of the alleged scam, Col Sandhu added that "corrupt practices had resulted in shortage of water.... Over 20 villages in the Patti sub-division situated in the tail of the irrigation channels were not getting a drop of water for irrigation for over three years". The Chairman added that in Gurdaspur district, "first information report had been registered against corrupt officials. The amount embezzled was nearly Rs 50 crore".

Encroachers make hay in Sector 34
Chandigarh, January 5 Corridors in markets meant for people going out to shop have been encroached in places like the Sector 34 market. Here tables and chairs of make-shift eating joints have come out onto the parking area, making parking very difficult. To make things worse, the traffic cops at times hand over challans to motorists for parking on the road. During evening hours, the situation becomes difficult as tables and chairs of the fast food joints swell onto the parking area. Shopkeepers have put racks in corridors, blocking the way of passersby. Not only this, fast-food joint owners have put up gas stoves in the corridors, posing an obvious danger to the shoppers. Residents of Sector 34 rued at the attitude of the authorities against encroachments in the Sector 35 market. Former Mayor and present SAD councillor Harjinder Kaur said she had made numerous complaints to the authorities concerned in this regard but to no effect. Sources say that some officials are taking money from shopkeepers to carry on with the encroachments.

Little crusader for tsunami victims
Chandigarh, January 5 Swikrit has collected Rs 1,459 all by himself for tsunami victims. The collection also includes his weekly pocket money of Rs 20 and that of his cousins, whom he persuaded to give up their pocket money so that “tsunami-hit children who have lost their toys and homes could buy candy and toys”. It took five days for Swikrit to go around in severe cold, undeterred by neighbours who asked him to come later, to collect money in a box that he got his father Mr Rajnish Kumar to make for him. “I saw news in The Tribune and asked my father why so many people had died. After I came to know that many children lost their parents and homes, I thought I should try and help”, he told The Tribune, where he had come to hand over the collected money for the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund. Swikrit was so charged with the zeal to help out that he even persuaded his cousins in Mohali and Ropar to donate their pocket money for this noble cause. He started his collection drive on January 2 after his holidays started. First, he went around in the neighbourhood in Sector 46-C and then when his parents went to Ropar to drop his aunt at the Thermal Colony, he went along with his box. Even then when he found that the box was not full till the top, he went to his cousins in Mohali and got some more donations. It was not easy for him to convince everyone to donate money for tsunami victims. “What is it”, “go run away”, “come later”, “we don’t have change” were some of the answers he got from neighbours and others he asked for donation. He praised his cousins — Sailesh, Sukrit Khosla, Parushi and Suniksh Puri — all less than 10 years for being magnanimous in putting their pocket money into the box. It was when he felt the box had filled that he came to The Tribune to hand over the collection. He is happy that he has been able to do something for children and their families, who he says “became victims of nature’s fury”. Swikrit says he also felt inspired when he saw his maternal grandfather and father mail cheques to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund.

Road or death trap?
Chandigarh, January 5 The road caters to all those coming from Panchkula and Ambala side, headed towards Mohali and Kharar bypassing the congested areas of Chandigarh. Similarly, a large number of people going to Ambala and Panchkula side from Mohali also use this road. It is less than a month that around Rs 5 lakh were spent on the repair of the road, but within three days of the carpeting, pot holes developed on the road, said Mr Mohinder Nath, a Sector 48-C resident, who commutes on this road daily. According to him several residents living in Sector 48-C confronted the Eexcutive Engineer and the SDO concerned and were promised that the payments of the contractor would be withheld till he does a satisfactory job. “The officials kept the equipment of the contractor as surety, but a few days ago we found that the same has been taken away without the road having been repaired”, he said. Senior officials in the Administration said the contractor who carpeted the road used inferior material and the matter would be taken up shortly. It is learnt that some senior officials are trying to shield the contractor and put the blame on heavy vehicular traffic for the poor state of the road.

Rani finds ‘Black’ a learning experience
Her eyes are dreamy. But as soon as you begin talking to Rani Mukherjee, you discover that beneath her ever-smiling face, exuding softness, is a determined go-getter. In Zirakpur in connection with the promotion of her forthcoming movie “Black”, she was enthusiastic about showing the movie promos to the audience. The actress, who won accolades for “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” “Hum Tum” and “Veer-Zaara”, is not the one to rest on her laurels. She knows she has miles to go before she sleeps. She is pinning great hopes on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Black”.
She is playing a deaf, dumb and blind girl in this movie. “It is a very challenging role”, she says. She had to learn the sign language for this. She met these physically challenged people and observed them closely. This was a learning experience for Rani. For the first time she realised how lucky the normal persons are. We never thank God for giving us the numerous gifts of life”. When asked why she chose to work in this movie, she said any blind person could understand why I chose this movie. Basically it was the concept of the director. “I was scared when I heard the script. I wondered how I will play this character. I came to know that it was inspired by Helen Keller who, with all her disabilities, achieved whatever she wanted”. When asked about her frequent visits to the northern region, she said she liked Punjabis. Narrating a humorous incident, she said, “When I was born, I somehow got ‘exchanged’ with some other baby in the hospital. I was later ‘retrieved’ from a Sardarji’s room. In a lighter vein, she said, “I may even get married to a Punjabi.” Rani also expressed her grief over the tsunami tragedy. She said she would do whatever she could do for the victims, adding that everyone should come forward to help in the rehabilitation of the tsunami victims. Pragati Trikha, Class IV student of DAV school, Sector 15, Chandigarh, welcomed Rani with balloons and a bouquet at Zirakpur. Pragati had done a small role with the actress in “Veer Zaara”. Rani gave her hug and her best wishes to her.

The officials also explained that anybody could assess his tax and pay according to the self-assessment scheme without any difficulty and inconvenience. They further explained that all the commercial properties in the city had been divided into five groups. “A person adopting SAS has to first identify which group his building falls in. Thereafter, he is to see, in which zone, his building is situated. Then, the tax-payer has to take up the rates given for the said zone of the group and apply the rates to built-up area of the basement to arrive at the monthly rateable value. Further, this total has to be multiplied by 12 to arrive at annual rateable value to calculate the property tax payable, “ they were told. The audience was informed that for the next financial year 2005-06, the tax payer who pays the tax under-self assessment scheme between April 1 and April 30 can earn a rebate of 10 per cent on the tax so assessed.
