Beas poses threat to two bundhs
Mohammad Ali Khan (Kapurthala), May 21 Since the water level of the river is relatively high this year, the villagers apprehend that there could be floods during the coming monsoons if the Irrigation Department does not take up some preventive measures. Many villagers having land in 11,700 acres of the low-lying protected area have even started sowing paddy as they fear that it might be completely washed out, if the officials concerned does not swing into action in time. Residents of Mohammad Ali Khan, Mahiwal, Dera Hari Singh. Chhana Sher Singh. Doda Wazir, Talwandi Chaudharian, Desal, Buh, Amritpur, Mundi More, Pirewal and other villages, that form a part of the protected land, said they had donated their pieces of land falling in the bundh areas in 1999 for their own welfare. But, they said in case it was washed out, it would be a great setback to them. The villagers residing and cultivating the land alongside the berm of the river said water frequently seeped into their fields and was eroding soil speedily. Many of them said they had lost large land holdings due to erosion by water and they apprehended that they might have to face another setback due to loss of life and property in case steps were not taken to protect the bundhs. During a visit to Mohammad Ali Khan village, the villagers showed how the land had been eroded by the river and a curve had been formed touching the bundh No 2. The flow of water at the bundh was too high. The village sarpanch said the berm width that was more than 400 feet earlier had been reduced to just a few feet in the past few months. Ms Gurmel Kaur, an octogenarian of the same village, said she had got her house reconstructed a number of times on her land and had to shift to a new location away from the river every time the river flow cut their land. Recalling the fury of the floods in the past two decades, she said, “I have passed through very tough times. All our belongings, including animals, were lost. I cannot see it happening again”. Officials of the Irrigation Department confirmed that the phenomenon was a risk to the life of the residents. But, they said they were helpless till they got some funds for the purpose. They revealed that the river bed, stretching up to 2,500 feet alongside bundhs, needed to be strengthened. A few studs and spur heads had been set up in 2002. The officers said they had presented an estimate of Rs 2 crore for the purpose and were waiting for funds.

Cartels eyeing mines now
Gurdaspur, May 21 They alleged that earlier the auction for rivulets from which the mineral was lifted was held separately. Each rivulet was auctioned separately and the highest bidder was asked to deposit 25 per cent of the auction amount in advance. There are 83 mining sites in Gurdaspur district alone that support over 100 stone crushers in the area. However, this year some amendments have been made by the department in the auction policy. In the auction notification issued this year, it has been stated that initially the auction of the mining sites would be held separately. However, later all mining sites of a district can be clubbed in a group and offered to a person who gives the highest collective bid. In addition to that, the highest bidder would have to deposit 50 per cent of the auction bid for the clubbed mines in advance. They alleged that the clause of clubbing all sites was aimed at helping the cartels. They alleged that no local or existing mining contractor in the district had the capacity to buy all sites at one go and later deposit 50 per cent of the auction amount in advance. If the mines were
monopolised, it would be the death of the stone crusher industry. In most areas, the stone crusher industry in Punjab is facing competition from Himachal. The Himachal Government had not allowed the monopolisation of mines. If the mines were monopolised in Punjab, the cost of raw materials would increase and these would become unviable vis-à-vis Himachal. Mr Ravinder
Abhi, Chairman of the Punjab Stone Crushers Association, said they had submitted a memorandum of their demands to several MPs and MLAs of the ruling party.

Lax contractors make mess of canal renovation
Abohar, May 21 Capt Subhash Sehgal, spokesman, Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, took strong exception to the wastage of funds in this manner and said here today that the Rajasthan Government would have to bear the brunt of negligence shown by the contractors under command of the irrigation officials of the Ferozepore division. The contractors had actually not cleared waste material from the bed of the canal after completing reconstruction work, without adhering to the specification laid down in the Project Report and works manuals. Surprisingly, when the work starting from RD 45 to 280 had been completed, it was the duty of the contractors to remove waste material but neither had they been reprimanded for poor quality in works, nor forced to clear the bed before being paid. Now after completion of the remodeling, the authorities would have to break the lined beams of the canal to press tractors-trolleys in action to remove the waste material. Sources said that Mr K.S.
Setia, Chief Engineer, Irrigation (North), Hanumangarh, had earlier rejected the Rs 75 lakh demand raised by his counterparts at Ferozepore. Recently, Mr Sanwar Mal Jat, Irrigation Minister, Rajasthan, had inspected the canal in this district along with other officials of the department. It appears that the nod for Rs 25 lakh was obtained on his intervention. The samiti had alleged that an Executive Engineer based at Ferozepore, who originally belonged to a village in district Sriganganagar and was under fire from different quarters during process of lining, played a key role in getting the Rs 25 lakh sanctioned. Farmers in various villages told The Tribune that lining had soured water of the tube-wells installed on both sides of the canal. Earlier seepage had made the water sweet. Flow of water had also receded. Another side effect of the lining of Bikaner/Gang canal and Rajasthan Feeder would be that shepherds may not find suitable space to quench thirsty goats, sheep and other animals as close lining had been done. The animals would have to traverse to sub canals and water courses to get water now, they added. Lining was going to increase sodium contents in agriculture land adjacent to the canal also, agriculture experts said. The PSEB authorities had not so far initiated against the contractors who had been stealing electricity through illegal connections in between Bodiwala Peetha village and
Islamewala. The workers said there was nothing new in this illegal practice. The Irrigation Department, Ferozepore, was also evasive on alleged use of sub-standard construction material and under-specification work though the Kisan Sangharsh Samiti had given a notice to start agitation.

Ranjit Sagar land scam: 4 in Vigilance net
Gurdaspur, May 21 The sources told The Tribune that three of the accused, including Kuldeep Raj, ex-sarpanch of Phangota village, Mohinder Singh, Panchayat Secretary, and Balbir Chand, Patwari, have been arrested while BDO Shiv Rattan was still absconding. A case under the Section 176 of the Prevention of the Corruption Act and Sections 420 and 120-B of the IPC has been registered against the accused in the Mohali police station of the Punjab Vigilance Bureau. The fraud was committed by the accused in 1988. A notification was issued by the government to acquire 1938 kanals of land in Phangota village. Incidentally, the land fell under the Ranjit Sagar Dam project. However, some of the revenue officials, in connivance with the village Sarpanch, tampered the figure of the land acquired from the village. Instead of 1938 kanals of land actually acquired, the accused added a zero and made the figure as 10938 kanals. Later in 1997, they allegedly withdrew about Rs 4.5 crore of compensation for the fictitious land acquired. The matter was brought to the fore by some residents of Phangota village. In a complaint to the then SDM, Dhar, they alleged that the land acquired from their village was actually the common land. The compensation amount of the land had been pocketed just by select few in connivance with the revenue officials, the villagers alleged in their complaint. The persons who collected the compensation amount were later found to be ficticious. The inquiry into the case by the SDM, however, opened a Pandora's Box. During the inquiry the SDM found that the accused had tampered all the records pertaining to the land right from the local Patwari’s office to the district headquarters. The SDM had to procure the original record of the land from the Commissioner's office at Jalandhar. In his 204-page report submitted to the government, the SDM recommended a Vigilance inquiry into the case so that the culprits responsible for defrauding the govt of Rs 4.5 crore could be penalised. On the recommendation of the SDM, the inquiry into the case was handed over to the DIG, Vigilance, Economic Offences Wing. After the inquiry, the DIG indicted the said officers in his report on the basis of which a case was register on Monday at the Mohali police station of the Vigilance Bureau. The sources available here said that many more persons might fall in the police net following subsequent inquiries.

BJP comes in defence of quacks
Abohar, May 21 As Congress workers assembled at the new grain market to observe Anti-Terrorism Day, the BJP held a press conference at the same time. Dr Ram Kumar Goyal, who could not be re-elected to the state Assembly on BJP ticket in the last Vidhan Sabha elections, said the team consisting of Dr Jaspal Singh and Dr Gobind Aggarwal from Nehru Memorial Civil Hospital here had carried out raids on three private clinics in the Nai Abadi and Azeemgarh localities on Thursday but only Mr Rajinder Chaudhry, husband of a former BJP councillor, was booked under Section 15 of the Indian Medical Act and Section 420 of the IPC. No case was registered against Mr Bhupinder and Mr Rajneesh though the team raided their premises also. Describing the move as politically motivated, he claimed that Mr Chaudhry was his active supporter during past two Assembly elections and his premises were used by him (Dr Goyal) as branch office of a charitable dispensary. Dr Goyal alleged that the raids were masterminded by the SMO of the Civil Hospital who did not have good terms with him when the SAD-BJP was in power. Regarding the raids carried out by another team headed by Dr
K.N. Babbar, SMO, Civil Hospital, Khuikhera, at Sayeedwala and Killianwali villages, he alleged that only members of his community and known supporters had been targeted under the cover of anti-quackery drive. Practitioners close to the Congress had not been booked. Officials of the Health Department, however, refuted the allegations and said the drive had been launched in compliance with the instructions based on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to deal with quacks sternly. The department could not put the lives of people at risk by allowing unqualified practitioners to practice. Cases of all quacks had been referred to the police. It was up to it to initiate action on the basis of material evidence, the officials said.

SAD accused of introducing privatisation
Jalandhar, May 21 Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra, SAD (Longowal) president, who gave a memorandum against the government move to the Deputy Commissioner here yesterday, alleged that the Congress government was following the path shown by the SAD. “It was the SAD-BJP government which had started throwing public properties like Punwire and rest houses in private hands and the same is being done by the Congress government. Mr Chandumajra said the Central Government could have been cornered on sensitive issues like the Nanawati Commission report but SAD MPs chose to follow the BJP and boycott the session without any valid reason. “The SAD has failed to play the role of a healthy opposition either in the Lok Sabha or the Vidhan Sabha and as a result people would have to suffer. Education and health services are already going out of the reach of the common people,” he said. Commenting on the “Jo Bole So Nihal” controversy, he said the Sikh sentiments could not have been hurt had the SGPC, Akal Takht Jathedar and the SAD had taken timely action.

AISAD accuses SAD of corruption
Chandigarh, May 21 The party also urged Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to work for the release of Sikh detainees in different jails in and outside the state. Blaming Punjab’s former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his party for creating differences between the Sikhs and the Congress, the party also expressed the desire to sort these out. It said the Sikhs had hardly benefitted by joining hands with the BJP. Addressing a press conference, AISAD President Jaswant Singh Mann said corruption on the part of the SAD and the SGPC was evident from the fact that 50 to 100 cases alleging wasteful expenditure were pending before the Sikh Gurdwara Judicial Commission. He alleged that gurdwara funds were doled out during the Ajnala byelection and money was recklessly paid to architects and other professional advisers. He claimed that Rs 40 lakh was spent on preparing the dossier on heritage status for Harmandar Sahib even though the Sikhs were yet to decide whether this was required. Regarding the release of the Sikh detainees from different jails, he said 120 of them were behind bars all over the country. Seventy of them were in Punjab alone. Some of them, facing allegations of murder and extortion, had been behind bars for 20 years. As such, innocent detainees “not involved in the murder of prominent Akali leaders” should be released, he said. He made it clear that his party “proposed to open parleys with the Central Government for resolving pending issues like territorial and water claims, along with other ticklish issues”. The AISAD, Mr Mann asserted, had no reservations in dealing with Congress governments. He added that the party would organise a two-day training camp for workers at Paonta Sahib from July 22.

Magsaysay awardee calls for open borders
Amritsar, May 21 This view was expressed by Dr Sandeep Pandey, Magsaysay award winner and prominent social activist, who returned from Pakistan here today after completing India-Pakistan peace march from Delhi to Multan. He said the governments should permit more and more people to people contact, which would help in understanding each other and creating conducive atmosphere. Dr Pandey, who was also instrumental in organising the peace march, criticised the system and bureaucratic hurdles created by both countries and said if the Pakistan Government could invite Mr L.K. Advani as the state guest then what was the problem in granting visa to peaceniks. He said they (peaceniks) had to make many rounds for getting a visa. Mr Pandey asserted that it was odd that thousands of Indians and Pakistanis could be allowed to roam on public roads and markets in each other’s country if they were there to see a cricket match, but not if they were explicitly making the trip to promote the cause of peace. The first 1000 km-long ‘pad-yatra’ in the Indo-Pak peach march, however, was full of hurdles due to an inordinate delay in issuing of visa to the activists of the march. Earlier, it was the Indian Government which allowed only a few activists from Pakistan to participate in Indian leg of yatra, later it was the Pakistan Government who did not grant visa to Indians to participate in the Pakistan leg of the march which was to culminate in Multan (Pakistan). The march reached Wagah after traversing over 600 km from Delhi on April 18 while they received their visas on May 7. However, only about a dozen of peaceniks out of 70 who applied for the visa, were allowed to cross over to Pakistan.

Grievance committee meetings
Ropar, May 21 None of the MLAs from various towns of the district, including Kharar, Morinda, Chamkaur Sahib, Nangal, and Anandpur Sahib attended the meeting today. The MLAs who are the members of the committee had appointed other members to attend the meeting. Besides it, the two MPs from the region were also not present in the meeting. It also came to light that decisions on the various serious issues affecting the public are put off to the next meeting. In a meeting of the grievance committee headed by the Education Minister, Mr Harnam Dass Johar, today, the minister directed the administration to launch a special drive against the land mafia, which has encroached upon government and Panchayat land at various places in the district. But this was not the first time when the grievance committee which was attended by all the senior officials, including the Deputy Commissioner, Additional Deputy Commissioners, SDMs and other representatives took this decision. Earlier too action against the land mafia had been mooted but no action had been taken so far. The reasons for non-compliance of many decisions of the grievance committee are attributed to lack of planning by the administration to give priority to public grievances. Besides it, in previous meetings, the committee had decided on the following things to make Mohali as beautiful and modern as Chandigarh: launching a special drive to remove insanitary conditions prevailing in various Sectors, to control the cattle menace, to speed up the work on the Morinda bypass, Kurali flyover. But the plans have remained on paper and yet to be fully implemented. In the Anandpur Sahib subdivision, the problem of water supply for irrigation purposes and the need of a bridge in Bhandwa village were highlighted. When contacted, residents of the district were of the view that once a politician is voted to power and becomes a MLA or a MP it was their duty to attend the meeting of the grievance committee to solve their problems. Unless the MLAs of their area are not present at the meeting, who would bother to address our grievances, they ask. Meanwhile the district administration in a press note claimed to have solved 21 grievances out of the 26 highlighted in the meeting held here. The Deputy Commissioner, Mr H.I.S Garewal, also assured the Education Minister that a special committee has been formed to deal with the land mafia cases. The special committee will constitute besides other members, officials of PWD and Irrigation Department and legal experts to deal with land grabbing cases.

Historical clock tower cries for repair
Sangrur, May 21 All four dials have been showing different time as no one winds the clock machine to run it in a proper manner. The clock stopped functioning after Sampat Rai Walia, who had been engaged as part-time clock mechanic by the Municipal Council in 1984, had resigned in December 2004, on the plea of meagre remuneration of Rs 750 per month to him. The council accepted his resignation and constituted a two-member sub-committee to appoint a new clock-mechanic, but the committee could not find a mechanic till date. Interestingly, the council had admitted that except Sampat no one had knowledge to repair the clock. Mr Brij Mohan Jhamb, Executive Officer (EO) of the council, said Sampat wanted Rs 1500 per month as remuneration, but the council was not in a position to pay the remuneration. He said the council would give an advertisement in newspaper soon to appoint a mechanic. The clock was brought by the then Maharaja of Jind to this town from Delhi in 1857 and was set up in a specially designed dome like structure.

Rampura Phul, May 21 Mother of the deceased Gurdev Singh, in a complaint lodged with the SSP, alleged that Bagad Singh, on whose complaint Gurdev was arrested, had also thrashed his son.
