Delimitation work for UT villages to begin soon

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 14
The delimitation exercise to include the area of 14 UT villages in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation is expected to begin soon. The exercise to identify the area and the number of voters has to be done well in advance of the general elections of the corporation due in December 2006.

Against the present strength of 20 wards, the number of wards after the delimitation would cross the 30 mark. Around 50,000 additional voters in the 14 villages would also become eligible to cast their ballot in the municipal elections.

Sources in the Administration said officially the delimitation exercise would begin soon after the inclusion of the villages in the civic body. Correspondence between different departments regarding the assets and liabilities in the rural areas had already begun. Information regarding the structures within and outside the lal dora of the villages had also been sought.

The elected body has been given time till January 2006 by the Chandigarh Administration to give its consent on taking the villages.

Anticipating that the villages would be part of the MC, the elected body was now eyeing the unacquired land in the UT villages. It was forwarding a proposal to the Chandigarh Administration to acquire around 3000 acres in the villages. The land falls in Badheri, Baheana, Bair Majra, Burail, Dadu Majra, Baria, Dhanas, Hallo Majra, Kaimbala, villages.

The sources said certain amendments would have to be made in the Punjab Municipal Act, 1994, as applicable to Chandigarh, before the Centre gives its nod to delimitation. The draft was being prepared before being sent to the Centre. It would take some days, said a senior official.

Sources in the corporation said after delimitation, the area of wards would shrink. However, there is indication that four of the peripheral villages, which do not fit into the urban character of the city, would not be included within the limits of the civic body.

On being included within the MC limits, the Administration would have greater control on managing the vacant lands outside the lal dora of the villages. Carrying out demolitions within the villages would also be possible for the Administration.

The elected representatives are, however, opposed to the inclusion of the villages, as it would badly affect the ongoing development works in the city and put additional burden on the civic body.

Abduction mastermind still at large
Our Correspondent

Chandigarh, December 14
Even after having solved the sensational abduction-for-ransom case about a month ago, in which son of a city-based automobile dealer was abducted for a ransom of Rs 2 crore, the identity of the ‘mastermind’ in the case continues to baffle the Chandigarh police till date. Tracing the accused seems to be a far cry for the city police as they are still groping in the dark about his identity.

It is interesting to point out that the man had good knowledge about the interiors of the state yet no trace of him could be found anywhere. He is known to have shifted several residences in the city, yet, no one knows anything about him. It is also intriguing to see that no person he came in contact with during his stay here seems to remember anything about him. “All clues end in a blank and we have to restart again and again”, a police officer quipped on a note of anonymity.

On November 20, the local police had claimed to have solved the case of abduction of 17-year-old Nikhil Joshi, son a Deepak Joshi of Sector 36. The police recovered the boy from a house in Sector 16 and arrested two youngsters, Manoj Kumar and Honney Sharma in this connection. The police said that the boy was kidnapped from Sector-35 based hotel on November 18.

The UT police has deployed security personnels outside the residence of the complainant, who are apprehensive of their safety as the mastermind is still at large. The police teams sent to the various addresses mentioned by the ‘mastermind’ in his documents and certificates failed to make any break through and returned empty handed.

The Special Investigating Team (SIT), constituted to solve this case, has been struggling to establish the identity of Aman Verma, the ‘mastermind’ in this case. The police officials investigating the case believed that the ‘mastermind’ is still in Singapore and the efforts are on to complete the formalities of extraditing him.

Though the senior police officers refused to comment on the investigations, the sources in the police said arresting the ‘mastermind’ is so far seems to be a far cry for the SIT. The team was in process of taking help from various national and international agencies in tracing and nabbing the accused.

An officer associated with this case said, “The procedure of getting help from international agencies like Interpol is not an easy job. The procedure not only is lengthy but needed a lot of documental proof to support the claims. As theses agencies were not answerable to the police. Certain issues pertaining to this case are discussed at the government level and are kept as secret.”

The process of extradition is difficult in the want of ‘sufficient evidences’ to prove the identity of the accused. The Interpol only provides its services after it is satisfied with the details furnished about the case, said a police official.

Preferring anonymity a police officer said taking in consideration the profile of the ‘mastermind’ it is hard to digest the fact that he would be in Singapore. He may have shifted to a country with which India has no extradition agreement. More over the local police has failed to gather information from various national agencies and from Punjab police about the background of a man, who knew hinter areas of the state so well that he mentioned exact addresses of far of villages in the state.

The officer said the ‘mastermind’ Aman Verma has a visa to stay till December 18 in Singapore. He added that the investigations had apparently reached a dead end as no one had approached the police after the case was highlighted in the media. Even the banks duped by the ‘mastermind’ had not approached the police following the registration of cases against the accused.

RECALL 2005
IT registers its presence in city
Sanjeev Singh Bariana
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh December 14
Information technology has landed to stay on the socio-economic map of the city with a clear indication of having a definite impact on its future development. The inauguration of the Rajiv Gandhi Information Technology Park and the employment of IT aided e-sampark centres for public utility all over the city are the insignia of change in future.

Dr Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister, inaugurate the IT Park on September 24 paving way for entry of multi-nationals and big companies. Along with the development of the park area comes the lifestyle typical to the industry. Besides the housing area in the park, there is going to be definite impact on the prices of houses, at least in the adjoining areas of Manimajra and even Panchkula.

The city now has eight e-sampark centres all over the city. Instead of standing in long queues to deposit their electricity bills, residents now walk into clean e-sampark centres, get a seat accompanied with newspaper and a cup of coffee while they wait for their chance. The long queues have vanished.

The revised prices of the Chandigarh Housing Board flats have taken the city residents by surprise. A two bedroom flat in Sector 49 costs Rs 32 lakh while a single bedroom will cost Rs 14 lakh. Residents are “surprised” at the hike by the government agency while the CHB defends the decision saying that the price was only a reflection of the market and that they could not keep on selling their flats “at a loss”. The latest development is the board planning to introduce the scheme of “tatkal” booking, of course at a premium.

The administration’s decision to allow conversion in the Industrial Area has not gone well with the industrialists. Except for Pasco, no one else has volunteered to go in for the scheme saying the price for conversion was very high. The rate fixed by the administration was Rs 18000 per square yard.

Another development in the property circles was that there are very few takers for the ‘sarkari’ commercial property on ‘leasehold’ as was indicated by the failure of the Administration and the Municipal Corporation to dispose certain priced portions of land. The auction of the Hotel site at the IT Park had no bidders except for one which led to the cancellation of the auction. The auction of the MC owned commercial sites in Sector 35 and Sector 44 had also failed earlier on the same account. Interestingly, at all the auctions there was a clear indication that people were willing to pay even “very high” in case the property was given on a freehold basis.

The Right to Information Act applicable in all states and Union Territories is yet to make any visible impact on the life of the city and majority of the UT offices are yet to define a clear mechanism and the chain for addressing public questions. The value added tax is likely to be introduced from the next financial year. It has been cleared by Parliament recently as the Punjab General Sales Tax 1952 has been repealed. Meant to be introduced in April earlier this year, it was detected that first UT will have to get the Punjab Sales Tax Act repealed through Parliament.

Mr Arun Kumar, a former Deputy Commissioner, lost chances of getting an extension in his tenure in his office earlier this year because he came in direct confrontation with councillor of the Municipal Corporation and the developments also had Mr Pawan Kumar Bansal, the local member of Parliament, on the scene.

UT is likely to have a revised ‘liquor policy’. Mount View got a ‘five star’ status and Hotel Taj was also inaugurated. The Chandigarh Transport Undertaking is likely to introduce the grid system in schedule making the services much faster and regulated as they will run only on horizontal and vertical lines. Chandigarh is all set to have a film city. Tourism gets a new face with at least four villages being identified for the rural tourism.

“Laado” leaves a lasting impression
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 14
It was an evening that made a difference. An evening where you didn’t see women shirk and men sniker and look away, when the sensitive topic of female foeticide was touched. For a change you had 600 people sit up and listen to the message being put across to them. They laughed, they cried and more importantly agreed that the issue needed immediate importance.

“Laado — My Girl Child” an interactive 40-minute play, which was a heady mix of music, mimickry, puppetry and bilingual was put together by students of Ryan International School, Sector 49, today evening at Tagore Theatre. The play was a culmination of a 13-day workshop organised by the Ryan International School on various visual and performing arts on the theme Laado-My Girl Child, which focuses on the issue of female foeticide.

Using the art of puppetry, the students with their acting skills, put together a play that focused on the discrimination against the girl child over centuries. Most interesting was the end where the students enacted the year 2055, when no woman is left. Scenarios of owners of leading cosmetic brands like Lakme and Revlon begging for a living and a museum of women came across as harsh realities that we just might have to face if the issue of female foeticide is not tackled soon.

Students also gave performances in Kakaripayattu (which means gymnasium in Malayalam), Mayurbanj Chhau an art form from Orissa and a street play, all on the issue of female foeticide. Interestingly, the street play and the puppetry show have been scripted by students themselves.

The students had also put up an exhibition of paintings at the venue. Irina Brar, and Savita Bhatti, wife of famous comedian Jaspal Bhatti, were also present at the show.

The students will be performing across the city for the next three days. The painting exhibition will be organized at the Browser library on December 15 and at the state library, Sector 34, on December 16. The street play will be organised at Panjab University , PGI and Pushpac Complex on December 15 while on December 16 it will be organized at Khuda Ali Sher, Sukhna Lake and Sector 17. The puppetry show, Laado, will be organised at Indira Colony on December 15 and at Guru Hari Kishan Public School on December 16.

Ms Humaira Arif Dasti
Ms Humaira Arif Dasti, medieval historian,
Multan, Pakistan

Q: What brings you to the city?

A: I am here to read a paper at the two day seminar on Sufism being organized by the Panjab University’s Department of History. My paper deals with the role and contribution of the Surawadi silsila of Sufis.

Q: Do you teach Sufism at Multan?

A: I am a medieval historian at Multan and have worked on the Sufi orders which had their centres in Multan, Sind and Uchh. Here the Suhrawadis held sway and so they remained the focus of my attention.

Q: Has teaching of Sufism changed your personal beliefs and philosophy?

A: Yes. You cannot teach Sufi idea without getting influenced by it or without getting involved in it. And our students feel the same. Reading about the Sufi life, their teachings, their way of life, affects most of the students.

Q: Which concept of Sufi life and their teachings have touched you the most?

A: The concepts of self- realization, peace and communal harmony have influenced me the most. Also unlike the Chishti order, the Suhrawadi order propounded the leading of a normal life by the follower. Normal life meant leading a good family life and earning ones’ livelihood honestly. I think these Sufi ideas should be followed by all.

Reduce size of bureaucracy: ex-AG
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 14
Dr B.P. Mathur, former Deputy Comptroller and Auditor-General of India and Director, National Institute of Financial Management, Faridabad, today said that Indian bureaucracy needed to be reduced in size and revamped to include fresh corporate talent.

Dr Mathur was delivering a special lecture on “Governance Reform — A New Paradigm” organised by the ICSSR North-Western Regional Centre, at its complex in Panjab University here today.

Stating that India is one of the poorest country in the world. Dr Mathur, however, pointed out that India had also made tremendous technical advancement. “In terms of purchasing power parity India is the 5th largest economy in the world and is predicted to be at the 3rd place in the next 25 years, he said.

Stressing that the government must introduce reforms into the governing process and offer range of services and processes, Dr Mathur identified governance reforms in three areas viz. personnel management, budget and financial management, purchase and contract management.

He was of the opinion that the size of the bureaucracy should be reduced so that it loses its permanent nature and becomes target oriented. “The civil service should be open to persons from the corporate sector so that new and fresh ideas of governance are introduced. Such recruitments should take place through the Union Public Service Commission for a limited period of time,” he suggested.

Professor S.L. Sharma, Director of the Institute of Correctional Administration, observed that it was of no good to criticise the system unless it led to change in the system. He said systems all over the world were changing and the system too needed to change.

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 14
The elections to elect the new Mayor of the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh (MCC) will be held on Sunday, January 1.

According to sources, nominations for the post will be filed on December 26, 27 and 28. A notification announcing the schedule for Mayor’s election will be issued in a day or two.

Even though the councillors had earlier put forth their demand that the date of the elections to the post be advanced, it being a Sunday on January 1, but since there is no provision in the Municipal Act, the same was not considered.

The new Mayor is to chair the House soon after taking over to elect the Senior Deputy Mayor and the Deputy Mayor. Advancing the date would have also meant cutting short the tenure of the present Mayor by a few days, sources add.

The elections to the post of Mayor even last year were held on a Saturday, which was a holiday.

Dharna by medical representatives
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 14
Members of the Punjab and Chandigarh Medical and Sales Representatives’ Union today began their three-day strike all over Punjab and Chandigarh on a call by their national federation, FMRAI.

The medical representatives, today, sat on a dharna in front of General Hospital, Sector 16, and Polyclinic, Sector 22, to lodge their protest. They even met doctors and urged them to prescribe the lowest-priced medicine for any ailment instead of expensive medicines.

Mr A Sawhney, general secretary of PCMSRU, said even though profits of pharmaceutical companies were increasing due to the hard work of the medical representatives, they were not being given their due.

“A majority of the companies are neither paying the minimum wages as declared by the Chandigarh Administration and Punjab Government nor are they implementing Sales promotion employees Act, 1976, which provides Medical representatives a cover under ESI Act, Bonus Act and PF Act. These companies openly flout all labour laws in connivance with the labour authorities and ESI officials,” he said.

Mr Sawhney said while on the one side medical representatives observed a complete strike and organised dharnas and demonstrations against labour authorities, they simultaneously organised dharnas at various places against the Chemicals and Fertilizers ministry and demanded reduction in prices of drugs.

The leaders also stated that because of the non-implementation of VAT in Chandigarh medicines in Chandigarh were costly.

Chandigarh, December 14
The HDFC Bank, one of the India’s leading private sector banks, in association with the Visa International has launched the Kisan Card here today. “Kisan Gold Card’ provides an opportunity for hassle-free loan to farmers which they can avail 24-hours on ATM cards, in India and abroad.

Mr Aditya Puri, Managing Director of the bank, said “the Kisan card holders will also be issued ‘Payable at Par Cheque Books’. Each card will have a personal accident insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh and a free investment advisory. The daily withdrawal limit through the card is Rs 15,000 at the ATMs and Rs 25,000 for usage at merchant outlets”.

The card has been launched in all districts of Punjab and also districts of Haryana, excluding those in the NCR region.

Ms Neena Singh, the Regional Director, said “ the card will facilitate the farmer by preventing him repeated visits to the bank for his loans and related paper work. He can avail the facilities on his card. In case he wanted a loan of more than Rs 15,000, he could use his Cheque Book”.

The card limit on the card, which is sanctioned for three years, is based on production requirements of the farmer and will be renewed after every three years.

Mr Puri said “the Kisan Card fills an important niche in our business and provides instant liquidity in a transparent manner to the farming community. Farmers in the region have always been among the first to apply innovative practices which is the reason our bank has launched the product here.”

The card is aimed at meeting the Production and Investment needs of the farming community. Production needs broadly cover crop production requirements, including funds for all related equipment, irrigation requirements, construction of farm-related buildings and investment in allied activities including dairy, piggery and bee keeping, besides others.

Later in the evening, Mr Surinder Singla, Finance Minister of Punjab, formally launched the Kisan Card at the CII.
