Principal Kapoor chargesheeted
Chandigarh, February 25 It is for the second time that Dr Kapoor has been charge-sheeted. He was framed in December for allegedly recruiting around 20 persons in PEC on contract without following proper procedures. The Principal allegedly reversed his decision to impose the “penalty of dismissal from service” to “compulsory retirement” against the laboratory attendant, Jai Pal Rawat. The date of compulsory retirement of the attendant was also delayed allegedly to allow him to complete 20 years of service and become entitled to retirement benefits. The UT Administrator, Gen S.F. Rodrigues (retd), approved the charge sheet before being issued today. Earlier, the administration had sought an explanation from Dr Kapoor in this regard. Sources in the administration said the lab assistant in the Production Engineering Department at the college had produced a fake matriculation certificate to secure the job. After conducting an inquiry into the role of the college Principal, the UT Home Secretary-cum-Chief Vigilance Officer has sought an explanation from him. The attendant had joined the college as chowkidar in August, 1983. In September, 1990, he got selected against the post of lab attendant on the basis of a matriculation certificate of the Punjab School Education Board. On receiving a complaint of the attendant producing a fake matriculation certificate, the Vigilance Department conducted an inquiry. He failed to produce any proof of having passed matriculation from the board. A copy of the inquiry report was supplied to the attendant on April 23, 2003. The attendant submitted his reply on May 8, 2003. After considering the inquiry report and the reply of the attendant, the Principal issued a show-cause notice for imposing the penalty of dismissal from service on June 4, 2003. Then the attendant filed his reply on June 19, 2003. The Principal, after referring to the inquiry report and reply of the attendant, decided on imposing the penalty of compulsory retirement on him. Incidentally, the date on which the order of compulsory retirement was issued, the attendant completed 20 years of service. This made him entitled to retirement benefits, which ran into lakhs.

MC clears annual budget
Chandigarh, February 25 This is the first time that corporation has reported an opening amount of Rs 30 crore as a spillover from the expenditure of previous years.
The Kajauli Water Works is coming up as part of a scheme of the Central Government. Out of the total Rs 47.22 crore, Rs 31.28 crore has been allotted to the Punjab Government for works within its area. Mr Subhash Chawla, former Mayor, said besides Phase IV the city should gear itself for works on the fifth phase keeping in mind the future needs of the city. Ms Anu Chatrath, Mayor, said the MC budget totalled Rs 269.48 crore. Besides the opening amount of Rs 30 crore, the MC anticipated Rs 135.59 lakh from the UT Administration and Rs 103.25 crore from its own resources. MC resources included water bills, property tax and service taxes. Ms Chatrath said March would be observed as “cleanliness month” and a special drive would be launched in this regard. The budget received general approval of the House. Mr Jitender Bhatia said the corporation needed to make efforts to receive its full share of grants from the administration. Similar opinion was also voiced by Mr P.C. Sanghi and Mr Chawla. Ms Kamla Sharma, BJP councillor, said adequate care had not been taken to tackle the problem of traffic. There was an immediate need for a flyover at the Transport Chowk and another one at the roundabout of Sectors 21, 22, 34 and 35. Ms Sharma said a watch needed to be kept on villages and colonies surrounding the residential areas of the city because they affected life of a common man in these areas. The MC also cleared the proposal of a hydraulic platform with turntable ladder for the fire services. A new electric crematorium was also been cleared by the House. The corporation earmarked Rs 4.75 crore for development of councillor’s wards; Rs 2 crore for additional pipeline in the city; Rs 1 crore for development of town parks in Mani Majra; Rs 1 crore for services to villages under the MC; and Rs 2.75 crore for improvement of streetlights. Mr Pardeep Chhabra, former Senior Deputy Mayor, said: “Greater emphasis should be laid on development of Sector 17. The place is a hub of commercial and tourist activity. Overall sanitation and changing the tiles are just a couple of areas which need immediate attention.”

Bitterness gone, lawyers give warm send-off to 3 Judges
Chandigarh, February 25 At a function organised by the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association, advocates showed solidarity, rarely seen in recent times, to make the last day of the three Judges — Mr Justice G.S. Singhvi, Mr Justice V.K. Bali and Mr Justice V.M. Jain—unforgettable.
And, the three Judges too chose to pronounce their verdict in the open: the love and affection showered on them by the lawyers of the association would always linger in their hearts. "It has been 10 years and 10 months since I arrived in this High Court. But I never felt like an outsider. Wherever I am, the warmth and affection that I have received here will never go away. I am going to the Gujarat High Court as a representative of the Punjab and Haryana High Court," said an emotional Mr Justice Singhvi. With the assembled lawyers, including a large number of senior advocates, cheering every word spoken by him, Mr Justice Singhvi also used the opportunity to cement bridges with the Bar. "Difficult times are behind us now. In the past two weeks, the High Court has come out of the dark times of the past two years and I hope the Bar and Judges will work towards restoring the high prestige of this High Court," he said. Mr Justice Singhvi, who joined here on April 28, 1994, also showered lavish praises on the young lawyers "who evolved before his eyes". He also asked the judicial fraternity, including the lawyers, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the High Court on the grandest scale possible. In his address, Mr Justice V.K. Bali, who has been transferred to the Rajasthan High Court, said having remained a part of this High Court first as a lawyer and now as a Judge, he had love for even the bricks and walls of the High Court. "I will cherish my time here. Though I had my shortcomings, I loved everyone who is part of the High Court," he added. Mr Justice H.S. Bedi, who will take over as Acting Chief Justice, was also overwhelmed by the huge response to the farewell party of the three Judges. "The huge presence here is an indication of what the future holds for us. I feel everything is alright now," he said. Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association president Anmol Rattan Sidhu presented the vote of thanks. Later, Bar association secretary Munish Jolly, advocates G.S. Punia and Lekh Raj Sharma presented momentoes to the outgoing Judges. In yet another first, the judicial officers of Punjab and Haryana posted in Chandigarh also organised a get-together to bid warm farewell to the outgoing Judges.

Kidnapping drama ends peacefully
Chandigarh, February 25 The kidnapping kept the police on their toes as the identity of the kidnapped boys, studying in Class IX, remained a mystery. The alleged kidnappers aborted their plan when the matter was reported to the police and the city border was sealed. It was only in the evening when the kidnapped boys were produced before the police by their father that a case of kidnapping and criminal intimidation was registered under Sections 363 and 506 of the IPC in the Sector 19 police station. The incident came to light when the Police Control Room received a call from an eyewitness, Mr Toofan Singh, who saw the boys being allegedly kidnapped by seven persons who came in three cars. Mr Toofan Singh told the Chandigarh Tribune that he came to the New Public School, Sector 18 for an interview of his wife. He was waiting outside the school as the school gate keeper did not allow him to go inside the school with his wife. Mr Toofan Singh said five persons, two in a black Hyundai Accent car (HP-18-A-2216) and three in a blue Indica car (CH-03-Q-4037) came outside the school at about 12 noon. When the two boys came out of the school, a Sikh boy came out of the Accent car and took the boys to the side and had a brief talk with them. At the same time, a white car came there in which two persons were sitting. The car came near the boys and they were forcibly pushed inside the car by the Sikh boy and they sped off. He said he informed the police soon after and the police came to the scene within minutes. The boys were later dropped outside the school after an hour.

PUDA, HUDA issued notice to complete allotments within 15 days
Chandigarh, February 25 The petitioner, Public Interest and Common Cause Society, thorough its secretary Gaurav Goyal, has also sought directions to the two bodies to prescribe the time-limit for the allotment and mention the same on the application forms. It has also prayed that PUDA and HUDA be directed to make a policy for returning the application amount received by it within 30 days (that is, 15 days after a draw of lots) of the date of the closure of scheme. This, the petitioner has said, should be done as in the case of public issues by companies. It has also prayed for the issuance of eight guidelines for the protection of applications' interests. The petitioner has also prayed that PUDA and HUDA be directed to deposit the money collected from applicants in separate bank accounts so that it is not used for other purposes. It has also sought the payment of interest if the organisation fails to return the application amount in the given time (15 days after the draw of lots). Citing instances to buttress its claims, the society has stated that when the Chandigarh Housing Board invited applications for flats in Sector 51, it closed the scheme on December 10, 2004. The draws were conducted on December 31, 2004, and original demand drafts submitted by unsuccessful applicants were returned within a reasonable time.

Western Command’s new role in J-K operations
Chandigarh, February 25 The Western Command will now be responsible for an additional 200-250 km stretch of the international border with Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir. Previously the Western Command, on whose order of battle were listed the Army’s most potent strike formations, was totally Pakistan-centric, with its AOR being Punjab and part of Rajasthan. “We may get involved in counter-terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir,” the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command, Lieut-Gen S. Pattabhiraman, told The Tribune during an exclusive interview. “We will, however, try to avoid getting into such operations,” he added. The area to be taken over by the Western Command from the Northern Command will extend much beyond Jammu. This area includes Samba and Kathua, which in the recent past have witnessed terrorist activities. Two divisions presently under the Northern Command’s Nagrota Corps are being moved under the control of the Western Command and a new corps, 9 Corps, is being raised to look after the area north of Pathankot. “We have formed a committee and are working out an arrangement concerning our new responsibilities and tasks,” General Pattabhiraman said. The committee comprises senior officers from the Western and Northern Commands. The Western Command will now be completely responsible for the strategic Shakargarh Bulge, which protrudes into India along the Pathankot-Jammu axis and poses a direct threat to National Highway No. 1-A, J&K’s lifeline. Earlier, this responsibility was divided between the two commands. This will also bring the command in full confrontation with Pakistan’s 30 Corps. “Earlier, we were dealing with just a part of this corps,” General Pattabhiraman said. The Army Commander said there would also be a “little” reorientation of training for the troops in the Western Command to cater to the operational requirements in the J&K part of the command. The two formations being moved under the Western Command, 26 Division and 29 Division are already running battle schools to re-orient and train troops before induction in CT operations and these would be utilised by the Western Command if required, he added. Once the new structure is in place, which is expected to take a couple of months, the Army will have three commands involved in counter-terrorist or counter-insurgency operations, the other two being the Northern and Eastern Commands. Additional responsibilities notwithstanding, the Western Command’s prime responsibility remains training and equipping for a conventional war in the plains. “For us, the conventional arena is of utmost importance. We have a vast operational responsibility,” General Pattabhiraman said. “To achieve the desired end result in a conflict, the Western Command has to deliver and we training continuously towards this extent,” he added.

Brain-dead persons’ organs better for transplants: docs
Chandigarh, February 25 As doctors from Jaslok Hospital Mumbai, discussed their second case of a liver transplant at the 6th annual conference of the Indian Society of Neuro-anaesthesiology at the PGI here today, where a 58-year-old “brain-dead man’’ donated his liver to a 43-year-old patient recently, the lack of consent of relatives emerges as the main hindrance in carrying out more such transplants where the organs of brain-dead persons are utilised to save lives. “Following the rules, a team of doctors declared this person brain dead as the brain was irreversibly damaged and could never be brought to life again. But his otherwise normal beating heart made him an excellent liver donor for a younger man. The surgeons and anesthetists played a key role in the transplant surgery which was performed with the help of experts from Stanford University, USA,’’ said Dr D. Dasgupta, Senior Consultant at Jaslok Hospital, while talking to The Tribune today. While in India such procedures are rare, in the Western countries people are more acceptable to using the organs of the brain-dead persons. The biggest challenge, says the expert, lies in convincing relatives of the brain-dead person that their patient can never come back to life despite a normal beating heart. “The transplant can only take place if the person’s brain is dead and his heart functions at a normal pace. The criteria laid for carrying out the transplants in the brain-dead person are very stringent and the surgeons can not move ahead without the consent of the relatives,’’ he says and adds that expert surgeons are required so that the receiver’s body does not reject the new organ. The doctors clarify that brain death should not be equated to the state of coma that many trauma patients fall into. “There are cases when the persons even after remaining in coma for months and years successfully come out of it. All comas are not brain deaths. But we declare brain death in that case where there is irreversible damage to the brain and it can never come back to life,’’ explains Dr Mary Abraham, Head of the Department of Anaesthesia, Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.

Parking facility had been provided on both sides of the belt which include a separate entry for handicapped persons. Meanwhile, visitors had a tough time trying to find a parking space outside the venue of the Festival of Gardens. Wary of wrong parking which would naturally invite the “unobliging traffic cops”, some visitors were stranded in the parking lot for as long as half an hour. Outside on the roads, people had a tough time getting to the sectors lying south of Sector 17. They were diverted and had to take a full circle to reach their destination.
