Tricity cold to ICL event this time
Panchkula, March 9 Three months later, it seems the ICL does not require Chandra’s company to walk. It can also do without the dazzle of Kareena Kapoor and the political appeal of Lalu Prasad Yadav or Amar Singh. On its own today, the ICL’s Twenty20 tournament took off on a simpler, serener note, amidst lesser crowds and more cricket -- there was no show of political strength, no security guards hanging around, no VVIP enclosures, and only one star performer. Neha Dhupia was, however, no match for Kareena Kapoor’s star appeal though she knew more about the game than her more successful Bollywood colleague. A sportsperson herself, Dhupia projected the ICL very well, harping on the “close associations” between cricket and stars and the fascinating chemistry, they sometimes share. About the ICL, she said nice things, including:”It’s about taking the game to another level; reinventing and finding new meaning within the spaces available…” Earlier, Dhupia gave a live performance which was thankfully spared of somersaults. In the news for having had an intimate encounter with Virgin Mobile’s Richard Branson, who turned her upside down during a live promotional recently, Dhupia today brushed the issue under the carpet. “He was very charming and humble. I think it was an absolutely natural reaction. There was nothing more to it. If I had no problems, why should anyone else have any?” said the starlet, who earlier ascended the ICL stage for performance. For a while, it seemed she had forgotten to ask the organisers to get her a new music track to dance on. The first two songs of her track - “Yeh mera dil” and “It’s Rocking” were also the first two songs of Kareena’s track last year. The third song on the list was thankfully from Dhupia’s own film; she’s doing some more interesting flicks in “Singh is King”, “Maharathi” and “I am 24”. For, she was happy sweet-talking for the ICL, which was represented by Kiran More, member of the executive board. Kapil Dev also marked his absent on the start of the next season, indicating to a fair extent that there can only be one beginning. The rest has to be routine. And routine it was, with players enjoying their game, a bit of stardust lining the stadium. More surprises will come, the organisers say.

ICL organisers get notice
Panchkula, March 9 The T20 tournament was started with much fanfare. The Panchkula DC Rajinder Kataria said the organisers had been asked to file a reply within two days in this regard. In fact, the organisers had applied for the permission to hold the tournament from March 10, stating that the first match was to be played on March 12. However, the tournament was started even as the organisers were yet to receive the permission from the stipulated date. So, the admistration decided to serve the notice to the organisers. Panchkula city magistrate Yogesh Kumar said before issuing the permission, the district administration had to ask for no-objection certificates from the authorities, including superintendent of police, sub divisional magistrate, executive officer of the municipal committee, HUDA and Excise and Taxation Department. As the request was made for permission from March 10, the application was under process and the administration was preparing to grant the permission tomorrow. On the other hand, the ICL authorities, terming it a technical problem, said the situation arose becaue of the rescheduling of the “We decided to hold the first match on March 12 and accordingly applied for the permission. However, the schedule for matches was advanced to today on last Monday only for which they did not have sufficient time to get the required permission,” said Shariq Patel, senior vice-president (operation), ICL.

Empty stands mark Day 1
Panchkula, March 9 Despite being a Sunday, only handful of spectators were present to witness the much-hyped event, which started with the glittering fireworks that lasted for around five minutes before the teams took to the field. The stadium, whose capacity has been increased by 25 per cent by the organisers, keeping in view the last year’s success, witnessed around 400 spectators enjoying the match. Admitting that such a low turnout was not expected here, an ICL official said: “This is the exam time of the students. It might be the reason for low turnout today”. At the entry gates, the police and private security guards seemed relaxed as no rush was there. The ticket sale counter at the entry gate no. 2 also wore deserted look. “We are seeking free passes to enter the stadium. Spending Rs 200 or Rs 500 on one ticket does not go well with us. If nobody is inside, they (the ICL people) should allow us to go inside free of cost”, said teenagers Anup, Neha, Gauri and Rajesh at the entry gate. Inside the stadium, the absence of foreign cheerleaders, which was one of the main attractions in the first edition, was also noticed. Definitely, we are missing the cheerful cheerleaders today”, said Narinder Singh, who came to see the match with his wife and five-year-old son. Talking to TNS, former Indian cricketer Ashok Malhotra, who is with Delhi team, said, “Twenty20 cricket is not only cricket but a complete package of entertainment, excitement and the game. You can’t take away anything from it. People demand much more than cricket in the shortest version of the game”.

Rally to honour Dhumal acquires political colour
Chandigarh, March 9 By the end of the day, one thing was clear - former MP Satya Pal Jain will again be BJP’s choice for contesting the lone Lok Sabha seat from Chandigarh; all top party leaders projected Jain as their “winning candidate” from the seat. But the day was not just about Jain; it was actually meant to inspire party’s rank and file for the forthcoming elections. Be it BJP’s national secretary and in charge, Punjab and Chandigarh, Balbir Punj, Dhumal, Badal or Jain - all speakers lambasted the Congress-led UPA government for handing out a populist but “empty” Budget to the people. Punj began by citing rise in prices of basic commodities within five days of the announcement of General Budget, which he termed as “iron camouflaged by gold.” Massive loan waivers had been announced but there was no arrangement for these in the Budget document, he said. Dhumal said, “Alphabetically, G follows H and H follows I. We have won Gujarat and Himachal. Now it’s our time to win India.” “India was exporting foodgrain and distributing surplus grain free of cost to the needy during the tenure of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Today, we are importing grains while our farmers are committing suicide,” he said.

Bread, chocolate to cost more
Chandigarh, March 9 This comes as a rude shock for most residents, who are already reeling under the impact of a drastic price rise in most dry kitchen ingredients. Wheat flour, rice, edible oils, pulses and spices have already seen a 10-85 per cent increase in prices, with the maximum rise being witnessed in the price of rice (almost 83 per cent) and edible oils (almost 42 per cent).
Traders in the city say that while Bonn bread had increased its price earlier, Britannia increased its price now. They anticipate that the price of biscuits, too, could go up in the coming days, in wake of the increase in wheat prices. Other than bread, the price of chocolates, too, has witnessed a rise in prices. With an increase in price of milk and cereals used in the manufacturing of chocolates, the chocolate price (those manufactured by Cadburys) has gone up by Rs 2 for a 22 gm bar and by Rs 10 for a 165 gm. bar. Other than Five Star bar, price of all other Cadbury chocolates have been hiked. Harish Kumar of Grover Confectionaries says that though the chocolate prices have gone up this week, it will not affect sales. “Children being the major consumers, they will continue to have chocolates, irrespective of the price,” he says.
The only solace is that the price of eggs has gone down, thanks to the rising mercury. From Rs 26 a dozen a fortnight ago, the egg prices have gone down to Rs 24 a dozen now. The wholesale price of eggs has also gone down to Rs 16.80 per dozen, as against Rs 21.60 per dozen earlier. Mrinal Singh, a resident of Sector 21, says, “Though the government had been trying to project itself as an aam aadmi ki sarkar, it has done little for the common man. Rather they have failed to rein in the rising prices, be it groceries or fuel. The common man is spending a major portion of his income on his and his family’s food requirement, leaving little money for entertainment. The inflation rate is over five per cent, but no steps are being taken to control prices,prices are rising but the salary remains the same except a negligible hike,” she says.

Hotel job: Disability no ‘disqualification’
Chandigarh, March 9 “We took a conscious decision to employ every eligible physically handicapped person interested in a job in our hotels. In the past few months, all we could get were six eligible candidates. We have employed them in house-keeping and other jobs,” said Bakaya, holding that his group would continue to employ all eligible physically handicapped persons for its new hotels in Chandigarh, Mohali, Baddi and Amritsar. “The industry does not insist that physically handicapped should be graduates or have diploma or degrees in hotel management or tourism and hospitality. Even if they are matriculates or have passed class XII and are cut out for hospitality and hotel industry, they are given jobs,” he said. “The major problem facing the rapidly expanding hotel and hospitality industry is inadequacy of trained staff. The number of good and recognised institutes running various hotel and hospitality courses is very small,” he added. “We are considering starting our own institute. As and when we start it, it will be one of the best,” claimed Bakaya. Realising that good families did not want their girls to join the hotel industry as receptionists, some groups, including theirs, had re-designated them as guest relation officers. His group is now working hard to get Park Plaza in Sector 17 in Chandigarh operational by July-end. It will be a premiere five-star hotel in the region with a swimming pool, coffee shop, Geoffrey Pub, Indian and exclusive oriental restaurants, besides a health club and a business centre. It will have 120 rooms. Other property of the Sarovar group that will be coming up this year is Hometel in Phase I of the Industrial Area here. In Mohali, the group is planning a multiplex, of which a Sarovar Portico five-star hotel will be a part. The Amritsar hotel will be Sarovar Premiere, which will be again a five-star property.

Good generalship, not honour code, will work
IT is doubtful if the training note issued by the Army Training Command, Shimla, recently, invoking Mahabharata and Vedas to check the sliding morality and ethics in the Army will have the desired effect on the officer cadre. No one would deny that sycophancy and manipulation are deadly diseases as stated in the note. But if the Army’s higher command fails to curb these ills, how can a piece of paper root them out? The case studies quoted in the note are of a unit selling rations meant for the troops to civilians and of a Captain stealing ATM card of a colleague and withdrawing money from the bank. Admittedly, all wrong practices start from senior ranks and juniors only follow. As for sycophancy, it sounds like music to the ears of most seniors. Manipulation, too, has become a part of the game to succeed. These nefarious practices can only be curbed by an effective and persuasive leadership that can stamp them out by setting personal examples. No honour code or training note will help to stem moral bankruptcy. What is essentially needed in the Army today to check sliding morality is a good and clean generalship. Brigade of the Guards
Chief of the Army Staff General Deepak Kapoor has taken over as Honorary Colonel of Brigade of the Guards. The regiment was raised by the late Field Marshal (then General) K.M. Cariappa, the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army in 1949 by reforming the four oldest infantry battalions into the Guards. These were 1 Guards (2 Punjab), 2 Guards (1 Grenadiers), 3 Guards (1 Raj Rif) and 4 Guards (1 Rajput). Taking a cue from the British Army, the Field Marshal requested the then President Dr Rajindra Prasad to accept the appointment of the Colonel-in-Chief of Brigade of the Guards. Dr Prasad acceded to his request and took over the appointment on January 26, 1950. This tradition continues with every President becoming the Colonel-in-Chief of this regiment. It was also decided in 1951 that every Army Chief would become the Colonel of the Brigade of the Guards. Then General Cariappa became the first Colonel of the regiment. But when General J.N. Chaudhuri became the Army Chief, he suggested that Brigade of the Guards should have its own officer as Colonel of the regiment. Since then the serving Army Chief during his tenure becomes the Honorary Colonel of this regiment.
Welfare serving
soldiers
Nothing puts a soldier under more stress than the problems of his family and property at the home front. During the British regime, these problems were well looked after by the civil administration. But now in most cases, the civil administration is least responsive to their problems. Defence minister A.K. Antony’s letter in early 2007 to the Chief Ministers of all states seems to have had little effect, if any. The only way to ameliorate the hardship of soldiers and defence widows is that they should be allowed to meet the ministers concerned and DCs and SSPs of their districts on their request without
delay. — Pritam Bhullar

Direct train link to Jammu being mooted
Chandigarh, March 9 Sources said there is a possibility that the coaches of Kerala Sampark Kranti train — which arrives on Saturday and goes back on Monday — might be used for the purpose. The officials added once the railway track from Chandigarh to Jammu via Una was complete, the train could also be diverted on the alternative track. Meanwhile, the Garib Rath between Chandigarh and Jaipur is scheduled to start in the first week of April. It would comprise three-tier AC coaches that would run three days in a week. J.S. Bhogal, member of the Zonal Railway User Consultative Committee, said the train should be extended to Ajmer Sharif. He said the railways should focus on improving rail connectivity of Chandigarh with important cities in Punjab. The demand for extending the Chandigarh-Delhi Jan Shatabdi upto Una, increasing the frequency of Chandigarh-Kerala Jan Sampark Kranti Express and starting the Jan Shatabdi on Sunday as well are also on the agenda.

‘Malba’ dumped in Sec 33
Chandigarh, March 9 A project for beautification of parks is being carried out within this sector and the ‘malba’ collected is being dumped in this stretch of empty land. Moreover, a number of buildings are being constructed here and that ‘malba’ is also being discarded at this place. Even private contractors are indulging in the same practice. On the other hand MC officials are resorting to blame game. “Residents of the sector had already pointed out the problem a couple of times. The corporation is not dumping of ‘malba’, it is the private contractors who are doing it. The area would be cleaned the moment the MC provides the engineering wing with the JCB machine,” said an official of the engineering wing. Area councillor Rajesh Gupta said he was unaware of the problem. “I will inspect the area tomorrow and make sure that the problem is solved as soon as possible.” Meanwhile, Sector 33 is not the lone example; there are a number of sectors which are plagued by the same problem.

Plans to decongest city roads
Chandigarh, March
9 After carrying out an elaborate
survey, the urban planning department has suggested that the approaches
should be widened so that the traffic converging on to a rotary could be
regulated in a proper manner. At some places construction of slip
roads has also been suggested. A senior official in the engineering
department said at some places the size of the big rotaries would be
reduced so that slip roads could be carved in all the four
directions. Citing the example of the small rotary of Sector 34 and 35,
which was ultimately closed, the official said due to little space left
due to size of the rotary, the slip roads could not be created.

Provide shed at Badheri bus stand
Hundreds of commuters commute daily by local buses from Badheri local bus stand. But there is no shed at the Badheri bus stop. Commuters have to face difficulty in summers and rainy season. The Welfare Association MIG-I Houses, Sector 40-C, has written many letters to concerned departments but nothing has been done so far. The association was informed verbally that owing to the widening of dividing road of sector 40-41, the proposal to construct a local bus stand was deferred. But since the widening of road has already been completed, there should not be any further delay. I request the concerned authorities to think about senior citizens, students and others who board busses from Badheri bus stop and do the needful at the earliest. S.K. Khosla, Chandigarh Readers are invited to write to us.

Admn plans pre-fabricated structures for govt schools
Chandigarh, March 9 Taking an immediate measure, the Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Chandigarh wing, has initiated to construct pre-fabricated structures at schools located in Hallomajra, Colony No. 5, and Bapu Dham, Sector 26. The sources in the education department confirmed that the SSA opted constructing pre-fabricated structures only to cut short the delay in completion of the RCC structure. This decision had been taken in a meeting held on March 5, after the assurance given by the engineering wing of the Chandigarh Housing Board that the proposed work would be completed within a period of one month. The work had already been allotted to the Chandigarh Housing Board but despite assurance given by the chief engineer the work was never started, what to talk about it being completed. The education officials told that the Chandigarh Housing Board had been asked to streamline the project because the next academic session is going to be started from the first week of April and the target set by the department to get the work done by March 31. After the Tribune highlighted the pathetic condition of building and scarcity of space, which cater to around 1500 children at Government High School, Hallomajra, the education department had managed to procure additional rooms in the Patwarkhana Government Dispensary and doctor’s residence in the veterinary hospital, Hallomajra. But according to the school authorities the permanent solution was to relocate the school to some other place as half of the school campus was occupied by an old mandir. The education department officials admitted that this accommodation was not sufficient and the proposal has been made to upgrade the school to senior secondary level at a new location near veterinary hospital, Hallomajra. As a stopgap arrangement, the education department has proposed to construct eight additional rooms of pre-fabricated structure in Government High School, Hallomajra. The sources disclosed that the funds to the tune of Rs 29,59,310 have been released by the SSA department. According to an estimate, the cost of one pre-fabricated room comes to around Rs 3,18,444 and the cost of constructing one toilet block would be around Rs 4,61,174. As per financial guidelines Rs 3,50,000 can be utilised against one classroom.

Counsellors to help students get stress free
Chandigarh, March 9 The education officials told that these counsellors were engaged on contractual basis and would also approach the students personally at their schools in addition to providing help through telephones. Sunil Bedi, consultant for the student telephonic helpline told that these counsellors would identify the students who become victim of stress due to studies. “We have identified the students who suffered from examination fever. According to the data of these identified students, the counselors would approach them at their respective schools and motivate them to be at ease while attempting paper,” said Bedi. The officials told that these counselors had also been asked to give their advice to the parents, if need be. “In the competitive era, the parents put extra load on their children for scoring more marks. Students get tensed with every passing day. This attitude makes the students nervous. They develop a sort of phobia in their mind and become helpless while attempting the paper. This causes nervousness and anxiety among students.”
