3 of family bludgeoned to death
Mohali, August 7 The injured, including the parents of the deceased brothers, their wives, their two sisters and two minor children are admitted to the PGI with serious head injuries. While the condition of the parents is said to be critical, the rest of the family is out of danger. The robbers, all clean-shaven men in their 20s, armed with a gun, batons and iron rods and clad only in underwears, struck at two more houses in the neighbourhood, decamping with valuables, but leaving the terrified occupants unharmed. According to the police, the group of robbers entered the house of Prem Singh, a rich dairy farmer, at 1 pm last night and after hitting occupants with metal rods, they ransacked the house. The group stayed in the house for more than an hour. The robbers killed Prem Singh’s elder brother Bachan Singh who was sleeping outside the house in a cowshed. A couple of pet dogs in the house were drugged before carrying out the attack. The group then entered the house scaling the outer wall. Once inside, they hit Prem Singh (60), his wife Jaspal Kaur (55) and their two daughters Harpreet (23) and Jagroop (18), all of who were sleeping in the verandah. Jagtar Singh and Bhagwant Singh, both brothers, were killed while they were sleeping inside the rooms with their families. Jagtar and his wife Manjit were hit along with their daughter Neetu (6) and son Gurjot (2). Bhagwant and his wife Kulwant, both handicapped, were then targeted. “I saw two persons hit Bhagwant on the head mercilessly. Then they hit me. I was half delirious with pain when one of them asked me to close my eyes and untie my salwar. I pleaded that I was like his sister when the other man stopped this man saying, asa eh sab nahin karna (we are not to do all this) and left after hitting me on the head again,” recalled Kulwant, adding that the two conversed in Punjabi. “The gang was working simultaneously in small clusters of two or three each. While some hit our parents, one person hit me on the head with a rod and asked me to be quiet, saying that he would remove my clothes if I made a sound. They picked up Jagtar’s children and brought them to me outside. They looked like young teenagers and were speaking in a Hindi-Punjabi dialect,” says Harpreet. Harpreet was married two months ago and had come home for Teej. Jagroop, the unmarried daughter of the family, showed exemplary courage and tried to give the robbers the slip but failed. Nursing a fracture and head injury at the PGI she said: “I was hit and being watched over by two men when I told them that I needed to go to the bathroom. They agreed and followed me to a corner of the verandah. I ran and tried to scale the wall but they caught me. I recall seeing a jeep and a motor cycle standing outside which these persons must have used, before I was hit again and I collapsed. The robbers opened every box and almirah and collected valuables. They also took away all the gold ornaments we were wearing.” The robbers dragged the injured family members inside the rooms and bolted the doors before leaving. “One door was left open. Manjit gained consciousnesses and threw water on everyone. I ran to neighbours for help but they told me they had also been attacked by the robbers. We called out relatives on the phone,” said Jagroop. The police found the house in a state of mess. Blood was splattered all across the verandah, bed and floor. Clothes and household articles were strewn around the house. Bodies were lying on the beds while bleeding family members were huddled together trying to console one another. Rajinder Singh, who is their neighbour, told the police that the robbers had entered his house too. “They told me, my wife and two children to sit down and be quiet. They demanded money and we gave them the only Rs 500 note we had. Then suddenly something came upon one of them and he took out a Rs 100 note from his pocket and gave it to my 5-year-old daughter,” he said. The robbers also struck at the house of Balkishan Bhalla, a security guard at a milk plant. Here, they left untouched Bhalla’s young daughter-in-law and two daughters after they offered to hand over all their belongings to them.

Police top brass visits village
Mohali, August 7 The DGP S.S. Virk, ADGP (Crime) Chander Shekhar, IG Range S. M. Sharma, DIG Ludhiana Parag Jain and SSP Ropar S. P. Singh led the team of the district police officials to both sites, besides pressing finger-print experts and dog squads into service. Working on the theory that the attack seemed to be the handiwork of criminal tribes that move across the state during these months, Mr Virk, said: “These criminals attack in groups, generally striking the richest house in the area. Their attacks are pre-planned. However the family of the deceased insisted that the crime had been committed due to personal animosity. They said they had been receiving threatening calls from two men in the area for the past month. One of them had wanted to marry a daughter of the family but when she got married to someone else, he reportedly started threatening them.

Heavy vehicles involved in 70% mishaps
Chandigarh, August 7 Nothing else can possibly explain the occurrence two mishaps involving buses in less than a fortnight. Though senior officers prefer to describe the mishaps as “isolated incidents”, the sources in the police headquarters admit that the number of accidents involving buses are on a rise in the city. Giving details, the sources disclose that as many as 1633 accidents were reported to the police from January, 2000, till April this year. In 2004 alone, 396 accidents were reported to the cops. Out of these, as many as 141 proved fatal. In a substantial number of these mishaps, heavy vehicles, including buses, were involved. The sources add the figures, however, do not indicate the “real picture” as a large number of minor accidents go unreported because of the legal complications involved in the entire process. As far as the reasons behind the failure to check the number of such accidents are concerned, the sources insist that the police has apparently failed to generate “proper awareness” among the bus and the truck drivers despite organising traffic camps and awareness weeks. The police has also failed to check drunken driving among the drivers of heavy vehicles in the city. The sources add that so many bus and truck drivers enter Chandigarh after drinking bouts at liquor vends dotting the highways in neighbouring Mohali and other cities of Punjab. At several places in the state, the vends are situated in and around the bus stands, even though a minimum specified distance from the highway has to be maintained, according to the judgement issued by Mr Justice Swatanter Kumar and Mr Justice Sat Pal of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the traffic management and pollution control case. Though the presence of liquor vends encourages the habit of drinking among the drivers, the police has so far done little for their removal. The matter has not even been taken up with the authorities concerned. Moreover, the traffic rules are not enforced “vigorously”. The sources claim that the challans issued to the violators of traffic rules have also failed to act as a deterrent. An estimated one lakh traffic offenders were challaned last year. Among them were bus drivers. As much as Rs 1.82 crore was collected by way of fine. Yet, the accidents continue unabated. On July 26 four students and several passengers sustained injuries after a school bus and a roadways bus collided in Sector 22. Soon after, special challaning drives were launched by the Chandigarh Police to check the violation of rules by the buses. But within a few days, the cops apparently ran out of fizz and policing returned back to normal.

Govts fail to check circulation of fake stamp papers: CAG report
Chandigarh, August 7 On their part, the state governments are unable to check the losses as the Indian Security Press, Nasik, has not established a surveillance and intelligence system in coordination with the state governments to check that fake stamps were not in circulation in the market. The facts have been pointed out by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) in its recent report on the control systems at the Indian Security Press (ISP), Nasik. Under the control of the Ministry of Finance, the ISP is responsible for printing and supply of postal stamps, other postal stationery, judicial and non-judicial stamps, cheque books for the Reserve Bank of India and the State Bank of India, passport booklets and other security documents. The CAG has pointed out that except for a Forgery Detection Cell, which was responsible to verify genuineness of stamps referred to it, no other mechanism had been evolved to check the circulation of fake stamp papers in the market. Officials at the security press failed to extend the scope of their investigations to the possibility of counterfeit on a large scale, it has been observed. The ISP did not prepare a comprehensive response to the high risk of counterfeit stamps despite large number of stamps referred to it for examination being found fake. Many of the cases have remained uninvestigated for years, sometimes on the ground of non-receipt of the examination fee of Rs 100. A large number of cases referred to for examination of the stamps pertained to Uttar Pradesh (241), Maharashtra (294), Andhra Pradesh (156), Delhi (140) and Tamil Nadu (57). Out of the total 69,648 documents, consisting of non-postal stamps and stamp papers, the examination by the fraud detection unit disclosed fake stamps in 50,313 documents. There were cases of theft on the shop floor and many in transit, which entailed the risk of siphoning of the genuine stamps outside. The CAG has pointed out that the ISP did not investigate a number of cases of discrepancies in figures of the quantity of stamps. There were three case of theft of stamps from the ISP floor with aggregate value of Rs 1.17 crore while two cases are pending in courts. In the third case involving theft of stamps valued at Rs 84.60 lakh, which took place in April, 2002, the culprits are yet to be traced but the case has been closed. A large number of cases of loss and theft of the stamp papers in transit through the Railways came to the notice of the ISP between 1995 and 2000. The aggregate loss is valued at Rs 2.5 crore. However, the sample check of documents in the treasuries of the respective states showed the loss in transit of Rs 181. 52 crore, during 1992-93 and 2002-2003 in five states. The loss suffered by the following states on account of theft and loss of stamps was Andhra Pradesh (Rs 6.81 crore), Assam (Rs 146.66 crore), Uttar Pradesh (Rs 20.74 crore), Tamil Nadu (Rs 5.28 crore) and Rajasthan (Rs 2.03 crore). The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has also highlighted deficient controls in the procedure for indents, printing and supply in this high risk function. Sharp swings in the indents received from state governments, union territories were not investigated. Over a period of eight years, between 1996 and 2004, the Indian Security Press printed only 46 per cent of the total indents. The actual supply was still lower at 43 per cent of the indents.

IT returns can be filed by March 31, 2006, without fine
Chandigarh, August 7 Mr R.K. Goyal, Commissioner of Income Tax, confirmed here today that there would be no interest on the persons filing returns till March 31 next year. The Income Tax Department cannot levy any interest or penalty on the income tax payers, who clear their tax liability by March 31 next. Since the tax liability was for the assessment year 2005-06, no penal action could be taken against the tax payers filing returns till March 31, Mr Girish Ahuja, a Delhi-based income tax expert, said. Mr Goyal, however, clarified that a nominal interest could be levied on the late filers if their tax liability for the financial year exceeded the tax deposited. Income Tax Department officials said under the Income Tax Act, 1961, an interest @ 1 per cent per month would be levied on the difference between the advance tax deposited and the tax liability. However, a penalty of Rs 5,000 could be imposed on the persons filing returns after March 31, the officials said. The penal action could be taken only after serving a proper notice to a tax payer, they added. It may be recalled that after the expiry of the last date for filing returns on August 1 (July 31, the last date, was a Sunday) there were a lot of apprehensions in the minds of asseessees about the imposition of penalty. It was widely believed that the deadline would be extended like last year when it was extended to September 30. Meanwhile, it is mandatory for the persons having an income of Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh to file income tax returns even if they were not in the tax bracket.

Apni Mandi has residents up in arms
Chandigarh, August 7 Every Saturday the place turns into a virtual ‘mela’, with crowds, snarling traffic and chaos. “We cannot go outside on Saturdays as suspicious-looking people also loiter around in the area. Besides this, the vendors start consuming alcohol after closing hours and even defecate against the walls of our house making life hell,” laments Tajinder Singh. He is contemplating of disposing off his house because of the nuisance. People using the road dividing Sectors 32 and 33 face traffic jams, chaos and congestion due to the Apni Mandi held on the Sector 33 grounds every Saturday from morning to night. The traffic is particularly heavy in the evenings here as this is also the closing time for offices. The road is used by the residents of the thickly-populated sectors like 32, 45 and 46 besides the dwellers of Mohali of Phase IX and X. These people, besides the residents of nearby sectors, park their vehicles on the road, resulting in traffic jams and accidents. Scores of fellow residents of the area also express their resentment over the issue. They are demanding a shift in the venue. “The nuisance starts on Friday with the coming of rehriwallas to book the space. People block our entries by parking their vehicles in front of our houses and we can not move our vehicles even in case of an emergency,” rued Mr Tajinder Singh. “After the mandi closes, the problem does not come to an end as the garbage left over at the site, stinks for days together making the area disease prone”, said Mr Baljit Singh, another resident of the area. When contacted about the problem, Municipal Councillor of Sector 33 and member of the Apni Mandi Committee, Mr H.S. Lucky, said, “Earlier, we had sent a proposal to shift the venue of the Mandi to Sector 34 Exhibition Grounds but the administration rejected the proposal. Now we are trying to shift it on the grounds adjoining the market of Sector 33. Since the ground has ample space for parking, we hope that to other problem will arise with the shifting to the new site. Besides this, we are also planning to change the day from Saturday to Sunday”. The matter will be raised in the coming meeting of the committee, he assured.

HUDA wants police to vacate booths
Panchkula, August 7 Though the matter has been taken up at various fora by the HUDA authorities, the police department has failed to vacate the booths, even though new police post buildings have been allotted to them. Officials in HUDA say that they could earn lakhs of rupees by auctioning these booths. The officials say that initially they had not built police post buildings in the township. “Only police station buildings were built as Panchkula was sparsely populated. As the population in the township increased, so did the policing needs. It was then decided to set up police booths in various sectors and booths in these markets were allotted to the police as temporary police posts,” informs a HUDA official. Booths in Sectors 6, 7 and 10 were allotted to the police department. Two booths were allotted in Sector 6, three in Sector 10 and one in Sector 7. The Sector 10 booths were later used by the police as the Crime Against Women Cell, which was shifted to Sector 1. Now, the booths are locked. The Sector 10 police post was constructed almost two years ago. The Sector 7 police post was constructed by HUDA and handed over to the police last year. However, no effort has been made to vacate these booths. The police says that it is not vacating the Sector 7 booth as the Market Association wants the police to be present in the market. “They have made representations to HUDA that the booth be allotted to the Sector 7 police, in order to ensure law and order, says a senior police official.

A peep into the world of British Raj
Chandigarh, August 7 The series will not merely be a historical documentary of the events pertaining to that era, but an interactive programme with people giving out a first hand account and sharing their personal experiences about the Raj and the Partition. These two programmes follow a series aired by the BBC in June to mark the enormous contribution made by more than two million Indian soldiers to the allied war effort during the Second World War. The series, specifically produced to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the war, featured first hand accounts of the war by Indian veterans. According to a communique sent by the producer of the series, Mr Gurdip Bhangoo, to several people here, the series on the Raj would illustrate what it was to live, work and play in this era, whether one was a Viceroy who toured India in grandeur, a maharajah living in his luxurious palace, an Indian civil servant trying to build a career or a humble domestic servant. “The journey into this world of the Raj will be through a mixture of intercutting first person accounts, rare unused film archive, location filming of present day Indian institutions created by the British like the Victoria Terminus in Mumbai, Viceroy’s Palace in Shimla etc and former grand palaces of the Maharajas,” the communique stated. The series on the Raj is expected to have four episodes of about an hour’s duration each, while the one on Partition will have three episodes. According to Mandeep Bajwa, a city-based researcher who is coordinating the production here, Mr Bhangoo is expected to arrive in India within the next few weeks to research the programme. At this stage only background research is being done and the main production, including filming and recording etc, will be undertaken later. “We are looking for potential contributors and their stories of Indians who worked for the British as part of the civil service and formed the so-called emerging middle class,” he said. While the production team has found a large amount of “fantastic” amateur film footage in the United Kingdom, it is also looking for film archives and still photographs in India.

The Sukhna Lake is a prized water feature of City Beautiful. Not only is it a tourist attraction, but also the citizenry here frequents it all too often. It is indeed a favourite haunt of the old and the young; the rich and the poor.
Honeymoon couples can be seen here as well as octogenarians being pushed around in wheelchairs. Middle-age folks come here for brisk walks to lose their bulges and the young frolic around. However, many of the people who come here flout the rules meant to keep this place peaceful and beautiful. Tribune photographer Vinay Malik sings out the Sukhna blues in photographs that show the visitors taking pleasure in breaking the rules.

A case under Sections 18 and 27 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, was registered against the chemist and a show-cause notice was served on him for the cancellation of licence. A press note by the Health Department said the chemist store in Sector 19, Sood Medical Hall, was selling intoxicating drugs and a number of complaints were received against the drug store. A raid was also conducted a few months ago but the chemist could not be arrested. However, a strict vigilance was maintained to watch his activities.

The shop was later raided by the investigating team and a huge stock of psychotropic substances and intoxicating medicines was found. No record for the purchase or sale of these medicines could be shown to the Drug Inspector. This unauthorised stock of drugs was seized under Sections 18 and 27 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The seized drugs included capsules of proxyvon, spasmoproxyvon, hypnoteck, parvon, tablets of lomotil, hypnotec, diazepam, alprazolam, microlit, nitrazepam, syrup corex and different brands of injection buprenorphine. Incidentally, dextropropoxyphene and buprenorphine are derived from known narcotic drug, morphine and are habit-forming. All seized drugs had been deposited in the court at Panchkula with the Chief Judicial Magistrate. Officials in the Health Department said surveillance was being maintained in other pockets in the state to check such ill-practices. The entire inspectorate staff had been directed to keep an eye on mischievous elements who were indulging in the illegal sale of such drugs.
