Police rule out suicide in missing advocate case
Ropar, June 28 The police are yet to recover the body of the advocate, who was initially believed to have committed suicide near the Bhakra canal, though 23 days have passed since he went missing under mysterious circumstances. They have begun investigating Mr Gumber’s disappearance from other angles. Evidences gathered by the police so far rule out the possibility of kidnap and murder. The police are investigating the probability of the advocate hiding somewhere to escape the consequences of something he had done in the past. While questioning a person from Ludhiana, who was close to the advocate, the police learnt that he was involved in export of spare parts to foreign countries and had many business associates. They also found that Mr Gumber had recently gone abroad in connection with his business. Initially, the police believed that he had committed suicide as his mobile phone, wallet and credit card were found in his car (CH-03Q-0473) at Ahmadpur near the Bhakra canal on June 5. Later, on June 7, a suicide note was recovered from his residence in Sector 39A, Chandigarh. From the records of his mobile cell, it transpired that he was in Ropar on the day he went missing. However, the police became suspicious as the body could not be recovered. If he had jumped into the canal, as believed, the body would have surfaced in less than a week and the police could have recovered it. This led the police to investigate the case from other angles. Criminologists believe that people do not plan suicides much in advance. In this case, the advocate had written the suicide note a few days before the alleged suicide took place. Usually, people who commit suicide leave their suicide notes on the spot and not anywhere else. The advocate’s father, who met the police officers recently, is also of the view that his son had not committed suicide. He suspects foul During the investigation of the case, it also surfaced that the advocate had recently handled a case under the NDPS Act. He had charged Rs 4 lakh as fees in this case. Later, he had to return the amount to the party concerned, the police said. When contacted, the DSP, Mr Didar Singh, who has been handling the case said that they were not ruling out the possibility of the advocate escaping from the spot for some reason. He claimed that they have recovered some material, which would throw light into Mr Gumber’s past and help solve the case.

Initially, five horse carts will be purchased", an official press release said. Shikaras are being introduced to promote Sukhna Lake as a major water tourist resort in Chandigarh.

City could have housed a cellular jail
Chandigarh, June 28 A senior official of CITCO said the fact about the city being recommended as the site for jail did not find a mention in the script for the Sound and Light programme under scrutiny, however, this and certain more facts will be added on revision. The area had big open space found fit to house a big jail because of absence of any major jail in the region except the one at Ambala "during those days". The proposal was turned down by the
Centre. "The fact about the city's name being proposed for a prospective site for a massive jail was brought to our notice by a very senior librarian in the Central Library about 10 years back. We are searching for the original script in the library records to make an addition to the current script," a senior official said. Experts are dabbling with certain more facts which are likely to be added to the script of the show. Three buildings in the Capitol Complex bear the stamp of Le Corbusier’s fascination with the Indian art forms. Cows, birds, snakes and other forms are sketched on the concrete of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Secretariat and the Legislative assembly. Mr Corbusier also sketched a fourth building in the Capitol Complex as the Governor’s Palace which never came up because of "paucity of funds". In the Corbusier tapestry, it is figured that a reptile represents "the creeping and crawling, an event so frequent in nature and which bears different signification". A red wheel on a green plain represents" the work on land but also the force of commandment". The " 'Hand' held the key to personality of a human being" which is attempted on ground layout of the city. " The Government Museum and Art Gallery houses letters that Corbusier wrote to Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru addressing him as "Jawahar". He makes repeated comments about the bureaucratic hurdles in his project implementation. In a unique style statement, all the manholes in the city had the map of the city etched on it. The manholes designs are now available as souvenirs. Chandigarh will be the first city sporting modern architecture to feature in the coveted show of the ITDC which usually included the cities with strong historical background as its subject matter. The prestigious show is currently being run at the Red Fort, Delhi, Golcunda Fort, Hyderabad and in Andaman and Nicobar Islands only. The script under consideration has Sukhna Lake represented in a male voice and Goddess
Chandi (Chandigarh derives it name from the Goddess) is a female. "The copy under study is neat, however, it needs certain additions which can be incorporated", the official added.

Liquor kiosks flout ban, display hoardings
Chandigarh, June 28 In fact, so brazen is the attempt to lure customers and advertise the liquor brands that nothing is left to chance. One of the make-shift kiosks in Sector 49 has been turned into a advertising hoarding, with huge hoardings and wall writings advertising seven liquor brands adorning the walls and top of the kiosk. Sources connected with the trade told The Tribune that in most cases, licencees have actually been taking hefty amounts from the liquor companies to allow them to advertise their brands. “In India, where even surrogate advertisement, showing mineral water or sports gear of the same name as popular liquor brands, is banned, it is surprising the licencees of these kiosks are getting away with so much advertising. The companies are actually luring youngsters to start drinking by advertising their brands. Somebody must put an end to this,” says Mr Mohan Jain, leading city-based advocate, who practices in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The excise policy announced by the UT Administration as well as the conditions governing the grant and operation of wholesale and retail licences of country and Indian-made foreign liquor clearly say that sign boards put up on liquor shops would be according to specifications prescribed by the Estate Office and the Excise and Taxation Commissioner. It is also written that the vendor would at no time advertise sale of liquor. Incidentally, while the violation is visible at almost all kiosks, it is most glaring at the make-shift kiosks, many of which are located outside the grid, where the writ of the Estate Office does not run. When contacted, Mr I.S. Sandhu, Additional Excise and Taxation Commissioner, Chandigarh, said he would get the matter inquired and take proper action.

Liquor in city being sold below MRP
Chandigarh, June 28
To woo customers, liquor contractors are offering the popular brands of whisky at prices less than the minimum retail prices (MRP) fixed by the UT Excise and Taxation Department. Sources in the liquor trade reveal, that the introduction of the new system of licensing, the licence are ready to lower their profit margins. The price war is more visible in the areas where more than one liquor shop is located with in a short distance. If a customer opted to buy a case of 12 bottles, the discount could up to 30 per cent. "Even the department does not object to trend of retailers charging for ten bottles in case of 12 bottles", said a contractor. A liquor shop in Sector 51 was selling a bottle of Royal Stag at Rs 160, against the MRP of Rs 180 per bottle. Other popular brands like Red Knight and McDowell No.1 were available at anything between Rs 150 per bottle and Rs 160. A case of the above mentioned brands was being sold for anything between Rs 1,500 and Rs 1,700. Though the department has been tough against such practises, the contractors resort to such tactics to earn quick profit. The Excise and Taxation Commissioner, Mr R.K. Rao, said in the past licence of some shops had been suspended for a day for selling liquor below the minimum prices fixed in the new liquor policy. The department regularly conducted checks to check the trend, he said. Sources in the liquor trade revealed that the Excise Department had allowed a margin of about 40 per cent to retailers. But due to a number of new entrants, the profit margin was being lowered to boost sales. It could also result in a liquor contractors lifting stocks from another and still making profit, said a contractor. "Customers can now choose from a wide range of liquor brands at competitive rates. Due to the monopoly of the liquor cartel last financial year, customers were forced to chose between a few brands at exorbitant rates", said Mr Naresh Verma, who was buying liquor from the vend in Sector 52.Another reason was that since their no fixed quota for IMFL, the UT excise policy was export oriented, at the cost of the neighbouring states.

Kumhar Colony residents block traffic
Chandigarh, June 28 The blockade was lifted after about three hours when officials of the UT Electricity Department restored the supply on the condition that the jhuggi dwellers would apply for metered connections within two days. Failing this, the power supply would again be disconnected, said the Chief Engineering, Mr VK Bhardwaj. Tension mounted when the inhabitants laid a siege to the road and started
raising slogans against the Chandigarh Administration. A strong posse of police led by the DSP, North, Mr SS Randhawa, rushed to the spot to control the situation. Initially, the officials of the Electricity Department refused to restore the supply stating that the arrears in form of power consumption was running in to lakhs of rupee. But after the matter was discussed among the Deputy Commissioner, the Senior Superintendent of Police and the Chief Engineer, the power supply was restored. Mr Bhardwaj said kundi connections in different colonies were a big nuisance for the department. “After two days’ deadline, the department would disconnect the power supply if it do not receive applications for the metered connections”. On the issue of shifting the jhuggi dwellers from the site as the land had been allotted to a dental college to Panjab University, the Deputy Commissioner, Mr
R.K. Rao, said already about 2800 jhuggi dwellers ( as per the 1996 cut-off list) had already been shifted. The Estate Office has given 15 days notice to the remaining 2,500 jhuggi dwellers to shift to another site. “There was provision for about 3,700 tenements at the alternative site. The remaining would be rehabilitated to some other site”. The recently concluded bio matrix survey had indicated that a number of jhuggi dwellers had squatted at the site.

BJP opposed to proposed garbage-disposal plant
Chandigarh, June 28 Mr Yash Pal Mahajan, president of the unit, Mr Kewal Krishan Addiwal and Bal Krishan Kapoor, both general secretaries, Ms Kamla Sharma, Leader of Opposition in the MCC, and Mr Rajesh Gupta, councillor, issued a joint statement in this regard here today. The BJP leaders said the agreement executed by the Congress-ruled MCC with the said company was initially under cloud. The proposed garbage-disposal plant was not in the interest of the people of the city from health point of view. With the commissioning of the plant, there was every possibility of the outbreak of epidemic diseases and the entire city would come in the grip of foul smell. Such garbage-disposal plants were always set up at a distance of 40-50 km from the city. They said the Mayor and his team, who visited Germany recently, also inspected a garbage-disposal plant there, which had been set up at a distance of 40-50 km somewhere in the hills. The leaders have demanded the plant be set up at a distance of 40-50 km from the city in an area adjacent to Punjab by purchasing land. They have also demanded that the agreement for setting up the plant be got investigated by the CBI as it had been executed by setting aside all the rules and regulations.

48 Squadron to get President’s Standard
Chandigarh, June 28 The Standard will be presented to the squadron by the President at a special ceremony to be organised at the Chandigarh Air Force Station later this year. Standards or Colours are cherished awards presented to units of the armed forces for professional excellence. Besides maintaining the vital air bridge to the strategic northern sector and airdropping supplies over Siachen, the world's highest battlefield, the squadron has rendered yeoman's service during natural calamities in the past few years. The squadron has a chequered history. Raised of the venerable Dakota aircraft at Barrackpore in November, 1959 with Sqdn Ldr Chandan Singh as its first commanding officer, it was re-equipped with US-built Packet aircraft in 1961. It moved to Kalaikunda, near Kharagpur, during the 1965 Indo-Pak war, in support of fighter squadrons, often operating from unprepared airstrips. In July 1968, the squadron moved to Allahabad, but continued to maintain a detachment near Silchar during the Mizoram operations. It also took part in the famous Tangail para-drop during the Bangladesh Campaign. Re-equipped with the AN-32, the squadron was moved to Chandigarh in 1986. Popularly called "Camels", the squadron has since then been engaged in air maintenance of the country's northern, mountain-bound regions, ferrying troops and supplies to guard the frontiers as well as maintaining a vital air bridge, when the road link to Ladakh remains cut off in winters.

Chandigarh, June 28 Both the electricity department and the owner of the buffalos were levelling allegations on each other. Sources in the Sector 36 police station said, Mr Shiv Rattan Khan, owner of the buffaloes, in his complaint alleged that his buffaloes died due to negligence on part of the electricity department as they had not carried out repair work after a complaint was lodged with them about the wires lying on the ground.

My client is in the clear, says counsel
Chandigarh, June 28 In a communication to The Tribune, the counsel asserted that the news-item “categorically and specifically raised a finger” at the company’s role “without verifying the facts and figures.” He added that his client was not involved in the issuance of air tickets from a Sector 34-based travel agency. Moreover, the firm’s name was connected with the “drivers’ recruitment scam” allegedly involving a Delhi-based agency, even though Mr Bhupinder Singh or his company had no hand in it. The counsel claimed that his client’s reputation has suffered a great deal in the eyes of friends, relatives, colleagues and even the general public following the publication of the news-item. He added that his client’s firm was dealing with recruitment of Indian workers for deployment with foreign employers under a valid licence issued by the Union Ministry of Labour and had neither duped, nor induced anyone to pay more than the legally charged fee. He was carrying out the entire exercise in accordance with the norms and instructions issued by the Union Government.

Child’s death: house owner held
Chandigarh,
June 28 Sources
in the police said Major Singh, the accused, was carrying out
construction work of parapets on the fourth floor of his house. Despite
the fact that his neighbours had warned him not to raise the parapets,
he did not pay heed and continued with the work. Talking to Chandigarh
Tribune, the victim’s uncle, Mr Vijay Kumar, a resident of Burail and
vegetable vendor, said, “The accident took place in the afternoon of
June 23. As it was raining that day, I did not go out for work and was
waiting at home for the rain to stop. I, along with Nitin, my wife and
our two-year-old son, were sitting in our one-room accommodation when
all of a sudden followed by a deafening din, our tin roof crumbled upon
us. We were trapped under the debris and our neighbours rescued
us.” In his complaint to the police, he alleged that his roof
crumbled after the parapet suddenly fell on it. He alleged that he had
asked Major Singh, his neighbour, to stop raising a single brick parapet
on the fourth floor of the building as the structure was too weak to
sustain its weight, but he refused to budge. On that day also, Vijay
had reportedly warned Major Singh after some pebbles fell on his roof
and soon after it the mishap took place. Nitin had sustained serious
head injuries in the accident and Vijay’s leg was broken. His wife and
son also got injured in the mishap. Nitin was referred to the PGI after
his condition deteriorated, where he succumbed to his injuries on last
night, said a police officer in the Sector 34 police station. An
inconsolable Vijay said, “I brought Nitin to the city after his
father, who was my brother, died of cancer about five months ago. Nitin
is survived by his mother and four elder sisters. My sister-in-law sent
him with me foreseeing a better future for her son, but everything is
ruined now.” Meanwhile, the police today arrested Major Singh after
booking him in a case under Sections 337 and 304-A of the IPC. He was
later released on bail.
