Demolitions: Centre for leniency towards minor violations
New Delhi, February 6 He, however, made it clear that officials and builders responsible for allowing illegal construction would not be spared. Mr Reddy was talking to newspersons after receiving the new Minister of State for Urban Development, Mr Ajay Maken, who took charge of office today. In reply to a question, Mr Reddy said the government was considering amending the building laws to provide relief to small violators. “I agree that violations whether big or small cannot be allowed. But we as representatives of public have to be cautious about the sense of panic prevailing among lakhs of people in the Capital,” he said. The Urban Development Minister confirmed receipt of a letter from Delhi Chief Minister Ms Sheila Dikshit expressing concern over the large-scale demolitions in Delhi which had sent a wave of panic throughout the city. He said violations of building laws in Delhi fell into various categories and they could not be clubbed together for action. The government was considering a lenient view for minor violators in view of a ‘sense of panic’ among lakhs of residents. The minor violations include construction of an additional bathroom or a study room in houses, including DDA flats, he explained. Mr Maken and Mr Reddy said that they shared the concern expressed by the Delhi Chief Minister and were working out a solution which would come sooner than expected. “I can assure you of a solution earlier than you are expecting,” Mr Maken told a questioner. Asked if the government was planning to issue an ordinance to spare houses having minor violations as suggested by the Chief Minister, Mr Reddy said that it was not possible to issue an ordinance on the eve of Parliament session. But there were other ways to deal with the situation, he added. He categorised violations in four categories —illegal use of government land, illegal conversion of land use from residence into shop, construction of additional rooms or floors and property falling under Lal Dora.. Mr Reddy dismissed the charge that MCD’s demolition drive had lost steam in the past few days following protests by ‘big fish’, like owners of malls. He said everything was being monitored by the High Court. Besides, the ministry had nothing to do with the demolition operation, he added. He did not agree with a suggestion either that the government could follow in Delhi the Ulhasnagar (Maharashtra) example in dealing with the illegal constructions. “I don’t think that the problems are the same,” he clarified. Maintaining that the ministry would take into account all factors while finding a solution to the problem of “illegal constructions” in Delhi, he said it had come up in decades and a solution could not be found overnight. “But I can assure you that whatever be the solution, it will be long lasting,” he said. Meanwhile, the trendy shopping malls in Delhi’s upmarket MG Road Lal Dora area continued to crumble under MCD bulldozers as the civic body resumed its demolition drive against unauthorised constructions across the national capital today. MCD officials, armed with huge cranes and bulldozers, tore through 2, MG shopping mall in the area which houses some of the best known brands of the Indian fashion industry even as the Delhi High Court declined to grant any interim relief to the affected people. The civic body pulled down outlets in the ground floor of the multi-storeyed structure on orders from the High Court to demolish illegal structures in the area, which were earlier considered to be out of the purview of building bye-laws. The MCD had earlier pulled down parts of 1, MG shopping mall amidst protest by high-profile fashion designers, shop owners and employees.
The corporation resumed its drive after the Sunday break and also demolished 23 unauthorised residential and commercial constructions in all the 12 zones. It took action against 12 residential properties and 11 commercial properties and removed over 11,000 square feet of encroachment from government land in New Rohtak road and Meenakshi Garden areas, While four illegal residential structures were fully demolished, eight residential and nine commercial constructions were partly razed. Two commercial properties were also seized.

Non-payment of property tax: MCD to get tough with DDA, DMRC
New Delhi, February 6 A meeting of the MCD Standing Committee saw members adopting a tough posture on DMRC non-payment of its Rs 450 crore house tax arrears and urged Chairman Mukesh Goyal to direct the administration to promptly send notices of repayment to the organisation. Till now, the MCD administration has been dithering on the issue of sending a notice to the DMRC on the plea that it had been decided in a meeting with the Chief Secretary that the Delhi Finance Corporation would offset the loss of property tax liability to be paid by the DMRC. The committee also decided to send notices to the DDA against whom tax arrears of Rs 203 crore are pending but which has been denying its liability for payment of house tax on the plea that it is a 100 per cent government-owned entity. In an action taken report submitted before the house, it was informed that the list of government and private bodies having huge house tax arrears against them include the Delhi Jal Board (Rs 312 crore), the NDPL (Rs 265 crore), the BSES (Rs 6.25 crore), Transco (Rs 22 crore), CPWD (Rs 4 crore), PWD (Rs 3 crore), Delhi Police (Rs 2.21 crore), Delhi University (Rs 15 cr), Jawaharlal Nehru University (Rs 10 cr), the Sports Authority of India (Rs 1.5 cr) and the India Habitat Centre (Rs 50 lakh). As part of its efforts towards recovery of house tax arrears against these organisations, the bank accounts of the Delhi University, Transco and the NDPL have already been attached by the Corporation. Though the NDPL and the BSES managed to obtain a court stay on the attaching of its accounts, legal efforts are on by the MCD to get the stay vacated. Of the rest, out-of-court settlement has been reached with many like the DJB, IHC, BHEL, SAI and the CPWD all of whom had agreed to pay their arrears before March 31, while notices have been send to others for repayment. The target for the house tax recovery in the MCD budget for 2005-2006 is Rs 1370.76 crore of which only Rs 467.11 crore has been recovered till January 31. Under the recovery efforts, the MCD has been putting up the names of its house tax defaulters
at notice boards in several areas of the capital while the names of many has been publicised through the public address system. Newspaper advertisements have also been issued to urge the defaulters to pay up their pending tax.

BJP to gherao CM today even as cracks appear in party
New Delhi, February 6 President of the Delhi BJP, Dr Harsh Vardhan said that instead of regularising the colonies, the Congress-ruled Delhi Government was demolishing the “so-called” unauthorised constructions in the national Capital. Demolishing these structures is immoral. The government should introduce an ordinance for protecting the houses and providing permanent accommodation to those who do not have their own houses, he said. The Congress, which in power in MCD, Delhi Government as well as in Centre, is not serious about safeguarding the houses of the residents of Delhi, he added. While addressing a conference, Dr Harsh Vardhan demanded that the Central government constitute a high-level empowered committee immediately to regularise all the illegal constructions done so far. Fifty per cent members of the committee should be from the opposition parties. The committee should make its recommendations within 30 days for regularising the illegal constructions and changing the land use, he said. The amnesty plan recommended by the V.K. Malhotra Committee should be implemented soon. The building bylaws of 1954 should be abolished and the Master Plan of 2021 should be implemented. All 1600 unauthorised colonies should be declared regularised. In view of the housing needs of the people, all the dwelling units should be allowed to construct up to third floor. The need of compulsory approval of plan for building houses on the plots up to 100 square metre should be abolished, he said. As far as the JJ clusters are concerned, the government should make alternative arrangements before demolishing such structures. Interestingly, cracks appeared in the Delhi BJP over the demolition of illegal structures here as a former minister, backed by party veteran Madan Lal Khurana, offered to quit as legislator, accusing the state BJP leadership of complete inaction over the court-ordered MCD drive. Delhi’s former Industry Minister H S Balli told a news conference here that Delhi BJP chief Harsh Vardhan had “misbehaved” with him over his decision to go on an indefinite hunger strike from tomorrow against the demolitions. He charged the BJP in Delhi with being a “loyalist Opposition” to Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. A three-time MLA from West Delhi’s Hari Nagar constituency, Balli released the copies of his complaint in this regard to BJP chief Rajnath Singh wherein he accused the party’s Delhi leadership of arbitrariness and inaction. “I am ready to resign both from the party and as an MLA for this struggle against demolitions,” he said, claiming Vardhan had “threatened” to expel him from the party if he went on a hunger strike. Last week, Khurana, readmitted to the BJP’s national executive from where he had been removed last year over his outbursts against the then party chief L K Advani, had announced Balli’s plan to go on hunger strike. Vardhan, however, maintained that the call for hunger strike did not have the sanction of the party. “This hunger strike has absolutely no sanction of the party. In fact, it is something against the party’s advice. Something of this magnitude has to be carried out with permission of the party’s national president,” he pointed out.

Change mindset of using power without payment: CM
New Delhi, February 6 “The mindset that one can consume water and electricity for free has to change. Today, nobody can afford not to pay for power that one uses if we are to encourage a self-sustainable power system in the capital in the near future,” she said in her inaugural address at a seminar for the ‘Appraisal of power sector reforms in Delhi’. Lamenting that over the years, people in Delhi had got used to a system that encourages a culture of power thefts, the Chief Minister called for the cooperation of the people to reduce such tendencies.
On the three and a half years of Power reforms in Delhi wherein the Delhi Vidyut Board was unbundled in July 2002 and three private distribution companies, one transmission company and one generation company set up, Ms Dikshit “all projections made when the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed with the three companies three years ago have been achieved”. On the widespread perception that power reforms had failed to achieve the desired results, she said “all those who criticise the power reforms ignore the problems at the ground level, the foremost being those of rampant thefts of power and electricity. Nearly 40-50 per cent of the people of Delhi, who are residing in the slums and JJ clusters, are using free water and electricity, which has today contributed to the huge losses in power transmission and distribution”. While lauding the efforts being made by the power distribution and transmission companies in the direction of ensuring a sustainable power system, the Chief Minister called upon them to take more steps to improve interface with the public. Referring in this regard to the protests last year over installation of electronic meters in Delhi, Ms Dikshit said “it is important to make people aware that electronic meters are a necessity. Had the power companies done so, the protests that we saw last year on the issue in Delhi would not have arisen”. In this regard she criticised the use of force in several areas of Delhi to install electronic meters. On the perception that the state government was not doing enough to augment it current level of power production, she said “we are willing to produce our own power but unfortunately we do not have any hydel system to do so and the Centre too has expressed its inability to give us more gas to set up hydel power stations”. Mr Dikshit pointed out that it required at least 5-7 years before any power reform process could achieve concrete results. “In our case, it has been just three years since the power reforms were initiated. To believe that a system that was totally decrepit can get a total makeover in just three years is like expecting the government to possess a magic wand. Still a considerable progress has been achieved,” she said. Earlier, in his keyonote address, the Secretary, Ministry of Power, R V Shahi, voicing his concern over the huge losses plaguing the power sector, said “there needs to be focussed accountability on the part of players who manage generation, distribution and transmission. For one, the slow reduction in losses undergone by the sector is a matter of concern”. Agreeing with the Chief Minister’s view about the need for a change in mindset of the consumers, of using electricity without paying for it, Mr Shahi said “unless the public attitudes change, there will come a stage where there would be no electricity to give”. On the future of power reforms in Delhi, Mr Shahi, giving the example of Orissa, said “ever since power reforms were implemented in Orissa in 1999, the state
government has not had to spend anything on the power sector. A similar stage has to be achieved in Delhi, hopefully by 2007-2008 so that the electricity sector runs on its own, without government support or subsidy”. “Removing subsidy will invariably have its pains in form of an increase in tariff. But, the additional revenue generated through increased tariff can be spent for the betterment of society like in case of Andhra Pradesh,” he said. The day-long seminar will have presentations on power reforms by members of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory
Commission, BSES, NDPL and the Delhi Transco Ltd. It will also include a presentation on ‘Power Sector Reforms - Issues of Concern’ by the CII.

Phone tapping case: HC notice to UP police
New Delhi, February 6 Justice R C Jain issued a notice to the STF and asked it to file its reply by February 8, the next date of hearing.
Delhi Police Counsel Mukta Gupta alleged that the STF continued to conduct a parallel investigation into the case despite the court’s earlier order restraining the UP Police from its ‘interference’ in the Delhi’s probe. In an order, the High Court had restrained the UP Police from interfering in the investigation by the Delhi Police, while allowing the STF to collect the copies of the documents from the Capital’s police and Reliance Infocomm. After the arguments on January 25, Justice Jain had reserved the order on the quashing of an FIR lodged at Noida by the UP Police in connection with the alleged phone tapping. However, the Judge said the interim order of the court directing the UP Police not to intervene in the investigation of the Delhi Police would stay till the final judgement. Senior Counsel Sushil Kumar, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh Government, had alleged that “the Union Government and the Delhi Police had been tapping the phones of the politicians on the directions of the political masters”. Despite the guidelines of the Supreme Court, the Delhi Police and Union Home Ministry had been allegedly tapping the conversation of the political leaders to pin down them, he had claimed. Ms Gupta, appearing for the Delhi Police, submitted that the FIR had been lodged at Noida to intervene in the investigation carried out by Delhi Police in the case. Mr Kumar said it was altogether a different case and the accused are also not the same persons. So the Delhi Police should co-operate with the UP Police in the probe, he had added. Mr Kumar had alleged that accused Anurag Singh had colluded with Delhi police to prevent the UP police from conducting investigations as they were afraid of the truth being revealed by such a probe. Accused Singh had been illegally tapping the phones of various leaders earlier also on the direction of the Delhi Police, he had alleged.

Jamia students protest bid to belittle Prophet in Europe
New Delhi, February 6 The newly formed Jamia Students’ Union led the march. The marchers headed for the Embassy of Denmark to protest outside the embassy. What began as a peaceful protest, however, failed to stay that way as the marchers were lathi-charged by the police at Janpath. Teargas shells were lobbed at them and chaos broke out. Many protestors were injured badly and taken into custody by the police. Further, Shams Pervez, president of the Jamia Students’ Union and other union leaders have also been arrested by the police. Iram, forming a part of the protest, said, “We were walking peacefully and it was our intention from the beginning to protest peacefully. However, the police lathicharged us at Janpath.” He said, “Many boys have been badly injured and taken away by the police. Our protest is just and we are merely registering the emotional agony that we have felt on seeing the Prophet slandered in several European newspapers. We are protesting against this slander generated by the media in Denmark and all over the EU. It hits at our religion.” The cartoon controversy over Prophet Muhammad has been raging for the past few months. It began when 12 editorial cartoons, depicting the Prophet in different poses, were brought out by the leading Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in September-end. One of the cartoons is especially obnoxious as it depicts Prophet Muhammad carrying a bomb in his turban with a lit fuse and meeting jehadis in heaven. These cartoons were later picked up by the newspapers throughout Europe and printed through November to January. Muslims all over Europe have protested against these cartoons as they imply that all Muslims are terrorists. Side by side, the cartoonists have received death-threats and gone into hiding while newspapers had to increase their security. International reaction has been swift in condemning these cartoons. The foreign ministries of 11 Islamic countries have demanded action by the Danish government. Libya has closed its embassy in Denmark in protest against the government’s refusal to censure the newspaper or apologise. Recently 17 Islamic countries have renewed calls for Denmark punishing those responsible for the cartoons. On February 4, the Danish and Norwegian embassies were set ablaze in Syria. A day later, the Danish Consulate General was burnt down in Beirut. Closer home, a protest march on this issue has been taken out in Srinagar this Monday itself. The strike call was given by the Kashmir bar association and separatists organizations. Shops and businesses have stayed largely shut and there have been fewer vehicles on the roads.

Gurgaon to have Sanskriti School
Gurgaon, February 6 This was stated here yesterday by Ms Aasha Hooda, wife of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Mrs Hooda, who was here to preside over the closing ceremony of the state-level science exhibition in the SCERT complex, said the government had already allocated a sum of Rs 50 lakh for setting up the school. The foundation stone for the proposed school is expected to be laid on
April 1. The conceptual basis for setting up Sanskriti School is to facilitate brilliant students of government schools in the state to take admission there for better education. In effect, it will be like a model school, more or less like Vikas School in the national Capital. Students of 74 schools from all 20 districts in Haryana took part in the three-day exhibition. Mrs Hooda further announced that the government had decided to give a purse of Rs 1,000 to students who had taken part in the science exhibition and presented a model. Also, teachers helping them would be given a purse of Rs 2,000. The government also announced a grant of Rs 20 lakh for the SCERT. Mrs Hooda urged that stress should be laid on women’s education and their empowerment. “Educating a girl uplifts two families in the long run,” she said, emphasising on the virtues of education for girls. Clearly, she was touching on the issue of enhancing the human capital of the state and the country in the era of globalisation by uplifting the educational standard of girls. She said the present
government had taken a number of measures and drafted policies to empower women.

Conference on ‘human integration’ opens
New Delhi, February 6 A seminar on “The Importance of Meditation for a Peaceful World” was held yesterday at Kirpal Bagh here. A vast audience was addressed by Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, Dr Maulvi Mufti Mohammed Mukaram Ahmed, Acharya Sadhvi Sadhna, Swami Sudarmanand Ji Maharaj, and Rabi Ezekiel Issac Malekar. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj said the purpose of life was to know ourselves and find God within us. “We study and research the environment, the earth and how nature works. We study relationships in the whole cosmos. We, however, live by our senses and believe that their experiences are true. We keep looking outward without looking at the reality of God, The Eternal Beloved, within”. As Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj says, “We are communing with the moon and the stars, but alas! we have not reached the heart of our neighbour”. Death is integrally connected with our body which we have to leave one day. Through meditation, we can easily silence the senses and the mind that doesn’t let us rest also gets calm by the silent mental repetition of God’s name. We are then enabled to connect with the divine and peaceful spiritual regions within. As more and more of us experience this peace, the peace spreads all around. Once we experience the love of God within ourself, we can also experience his presence in others and truly realise the purpose of life on earth. Mata Harbhajan Kaur Ji and Mata Rita Ji sang a hymn, “Guru ki Sewa Safal hai..”, and Sadhvi Sadhna Ji said the sangat was very fortunate to have a Guru who taught meditation. Rabi Issac Malekar said “simran” (meditation) could be done anywhere and at anytime. Swami Sudarmanand commented that people from different religions and faiths were sitting together on one platform because of the underlying spiritual truth “that we can uncover through meditation”. Dr Maulvi Mufti Mohamed Mukakram Ahmed said religion taught us good things and how to pray to Allah so as to see him. In case we could not do that, at least we should be aware that he was seeing us. When he saw humans, he realised the frailties of man and responded to our prayers. The preliminary stage of spirituality was to “Be Good and Do Good”. The ninth free eye operation camp in collaboration with I-Care Hospital, Noida, was also held at the conference with the grace of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj in which 734 patients were tested and 373 patients identified for free eye operation. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj complimented the organisers, as over 83 per cent of our activities are supported by eyesight and restoring eyesight is a very great service to people. The 16th blood donation camp was also held in collaboration with the Rotary Blood Bank in which 105 persons donated blood.

Dip in minimum temperature, but days get warmer
New Delhi, February 6 The minimum temperature witnessed a sizeable drop today to 8.8 degrees Celsius, from around 12 degree Celsius on Saturday, but the maximum temperature, continuing its upwards movement, rose to 28.6 degrees Celsius, which is six degrees above normal. In fact, the heat during the day, led the people of Delhi to cast away their woollens and blankets. Met Office attributed the drop in minimum temperature to the decrease in the speed of the South Easterly winds, which had been contributing to a rise in mercury during the nights and early mornings last week. In fact, the minimum temperature recorded a high of around 12 degrees Celsius on Friday and Saturday. Delhi recorded maximum temperatures of around 27 degrees Celsius, four to five degrees above normal, all through the last week. The Met Office has forecast a partly cloudy sky for tomorrow. The minimum temperature was expected to stay at nine degrees Celsius.
