Residential plots in urban estates
Chandigarh, December 1 The scheme is another name for what was known as the Chief Minister's discretionary quota in HUDA plots prevalent in the state till 1996. It was last used by the then Chief Minister Bhajan Lal in 1996 to give the much sought-after residential plots in HUDA sectors to members of all sections of society, varying from politicians, judges, bureaucrats, police officers, journalists to the staff of the All-India Congress Committee and those of Rashtrapati Bhavan. It was not that the beneficiaries of the Chief Minister's discretionary quota were In addition to the basic rate, HUDA also used to impose "holding charges" on the discretionary quota plots. Still, this rate used to be much less than the prevailing market price in those sectors. Moreover, the allotment under the quota was assured and was not dependent upon luck as was in the case of general public, which got plots through a draw of lots. In 1996, the quota was challenged before the Punjab and Haryana High Court through a public interest litigation petition. While quashing the allotment, the High Court directed that since in a democracy the discretion of a Chief Minister could not be absolute, HUDA must come out with policy guidelines about who would be eligible for plots under this quota. Though subsequently the Supreme Court restored all the allotments made by Bhajan Lal, it did not overrule the High Court's directions for framing the guidelines. Since the guidelines put a limit on the Chief Minister's discretion to oblige the people of his choice, no successor of Bhajan Lal took the trouble of framing such guidelines. It is only now that the Hooda
government has approved a policy for "preferential” allotment of residential plots to
class of people in urban estates developed by HUDA. Now the plots can be allotted on a “preferential” basis to those whose domicile is Haryana and who have distinguished themselves in the fields of art, culture, social service, science and technology, judiciary, defence or sports. Only 1 kanal and 14 marla plots will be allotted under this scheme with the prior approval of the Chief Minister. According to the guidelines, the "persons of Haryana domicile" who will be considered as a "class of persons" for “preferential” allotment of residential plots included recipients of the Bharat Ratna, the Noble Prize, the Ramon Magsaysay Award, the Jnanpeeth Award and the Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Award. The Chief Justice of India, the chiefs of defence forces and Olympic medal winners in any event of sports have also been included in the "class of persons" for the purpose of preferential allotment of residential plots. HUDA has sought applications from all those persons who fulfill the eligibility conditions and are interested in the allotment of a residential plot under the scheme. Such persons may apply to the Chief Administrator, HUDA, Panchkula, clearly mentioning in their application the size of plot and the name of the urban estate in which the plot is required. The eligible applicants will be informed about further procedure and the earnest money to be deposited later on, depending upon the availability of the required size in that urban estate. |

HUDA allottees told to take possession in 3 months
Chandigarh, December 1 According to a spokesman for HUDA, such allottees have been asked to construct a boundary wall of at least nine inches of height within another three months. The main purpose of this exercise is to make available clearly demarcated possession of all allotted plots on ground so as to avoid all kinds of disputes later on. He said in case the allottees failed to take possession of their plots, no request from them for re-allotment, mortgage permission and approval of building plan would be entertained and allottees would not be entitled to alternate plot on the same terms and conditions as of the original plot if subsequently it was found that the allotted plot was either not available at site or not available as per approved dimensions. He said for the benefit of the allottees and in a bid to reduce disputes related to the possession, HUDA had formulated new guidelines for offering possession of the plots. These guidelines provided that the allottees must take possession of allotted plots within a maximum period of three months of the offer of possession and construct a boundary wall of at least nine inches high within another three months. This would ensure that if there was any dispute regarding the possession of plot, the same would come to the notice immediately and corrective action, including allotment of alternative plots, could accordingly be taken. |

Panel to settle doc-people disputes
Karnal, December 1 The police mooted a novel idea of leaving the dispute settlement to the people through their representatives and decided to constitute a nine member Doctor Public Interface Committee (DPIC). The action was prompted due to the increasing incidents of thrashing of the medical practitioners by the relatives and the attendants of the patients, leading to the police complaints. Headed by President IMA Tajender Pal, the nine-member committee comprises of three lawyers, two doctors, one professor and three persons from general public, including the
president, District Bar Association. All the clinics and private medical practitioners would display the names of the members of the committee along with their telephone numbers so that in case of any dispute over service, payment and treatment, the aggrieved party could contact any member and make a complaint. Any patient not satisfied with the treatment or services could call on these numbers and seek justice. The committee would also deal with cases pertaining to the negligence on the part of the doctor and submit the report to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) within three days and necessary action would follow. Giving details about the committee, SSP A.S. Chawla said it would go a long way in peaceful redressing of grievances of the public. The need to form such committee had been strongly felt for quite sometime due to spurt in the cases of family members of the patients beating doctors and damaging their clinics on the pretext of wrong treatment or overcharging. Hoping that the committee would provide an amicable solution to such problems, Chawla said if this experiment worked, such committees would be constituted for Assandh also, where frequent farmer-Ahritis (middlemen) disputes have become order of the day. The proposed committee would include prominent personalities of the area, ahritis, farmers and other. Recently, a dispute took place between the farmers and Ahritis at Grain Market in Assandh. If such violent clashes would not be checked and disputes not settled by the people at their own level, the situation would become unmanageable, keeping the police on their toes. In a similar case in Karnal, a doctor Shashi Bhushan Madan had recently been thrashed by some people from Gogripur on a minor issue of alleged overcharging of fee and he had to be rushed to PGI, Rohtak in serious condition. This also led to pulling down of shutters by the shopkeepers on the Hansi Road and also strong protests by the doctors all over the state. However, the success of this initiative would provide an alternative dispute redressal system and reduce the burden on the police and the conciliatory dispute resolution would reduce hostility among the affected parties. |

Want a PhD degree?
Hisar, December 1 The Tribune has a list of topics on which such degrees have been awarded by As per this list, as many as 157 persons have been awarded the degrees for research on topics related to Hindi literature over the years. Around 90 per cent of topics chosen by the candidates were confined to Haryana. The reason ? Why increase your workload when the minimal will do. That is not all. When candidates realised that the PhD degrees were being awarded by just limiting yourself to Haryana, many began to lower the scope further by limiting their work to the district level. Here are some samples: “Ambala Janpad Ka Hindi Sahitya Mein Yogdaan”; “Gurgaon Janpad Ka Hindi Sahitya Ko Yogdaan”; “Faridabad Janpad Ka Hindi Sahitya Ko Yogdaan”. One candidate who again chose Ambala, however, went on to cover Ambala revenue division. Some more ridiculous topics were: “Jind Zile Ki Lok Katahon Ka Sanskritik avum Sahityik Adhyan” and “Sirsa Janpad Ke Hindi Sahitya Ka Sanskritik Adhyan”. Needless to say that dissertations on such repetitive topics were below par, yet found fit enough for the award of the coveted degree. If this did not make you hang your head in shame look at this topic: “Life in an Indian Cantonment: A Study of Ambala Cantonment 1843-1947”. This degree was awarded under research on history. But even this topic would seem better when you consider this: “Yamunanagar - A Study of Social and Economic Change 1941-81”. Well, Yamunanagar is still a district town. How about doing a research on this: “Urbanisation of Shahbad town - 1941-1981”. The period 1941-81 which is common to these two thesis has not much significance except that the candidate who acquired his PhD degree earlier made the other one’s task easier as facts related to one town had to be substituted with the other. Next come PhD topics on education. Three different researchers acquired their degrees by investigating the basic Hindi vocabulary of children of first and second, fifth and seventh classes, respectively. Needless to say, the thesis had so much in common that at least two of them had to work relatively much less than the first one. Just minimal changes in the ages of children and level of the class would make the thesis worthy of a degree. At times, one marvels at the intelligence of people who conducted research on topics that sound incongruous to most of us. Savour this one: “An Incidence of Wastage and Stagnation and Contribution of DPEP in
Haryana”. Whatever it meant, at least the topic related to primary education. But what about this one: “Reproductive Health Awareness and Related Practices among College Girls in Haryana in Relation to Demographic Variables”. How that is covered by the Faculty of Education is a mystery. One researcher outdid all others in narrowing down the boundary of his or her research. This person confined the study to just “educated women” residing inside the Kurukshetra University campus. Here is this particular topic: “Political Socialisation among Educated Women Residents of Kurukshetra University Campus”. Perhaps this candidate’s guide can throw some light on whatever this subject means! Nevertheless, the PhD degree was duly awarded and its holder can proudly wear red academic robe at convocations. Geography scholars too suffered from geographical myopia. Of the 25 scholars who have done their PhD in this subject, around 20 limited their work to Haryana while the rest were more practical and confined themselves to their own home districts. However, one scholar found it more convenient to limit himself to his home town and chose this topic: “A Geographical Study - Social Structure and Pattern Formation in Hisar City (A Study in Social Geography)”. Economists did not lag far behind. One lady scholar was awarded a Ph. D. in economics for researching the “Economics of Mushroom Cultivation in
Haryana”.

He informed that the PICRIC limited at village Larsoli has sponsored the entire expenditure of three children undergoing studies at
MNSS, Rai. The Rotary Club, Garden City (New Delhi) pays for the monthly expenditure under The club also pays for honorarium to teachers employed for the children in English, Mathematics, Science and Computers. MD of the Indo-Asian Fuse Gear Ltd (Murthal) P.K. Ranadey donated five computers for the computer centre in the gram. The company has also been donating books and toys to the children, he added. Feeling proud of the success and achievements of some of its inmates, who grew up under his fatherly supervision, Godbole informed The Tribune that one of the eldest children of the Bal gram, Bharat Bhushan is an officer in the Indian Army. He had been awarded a bravery award for his gallant action in operations against terrorists while serving in counter insurgency areas of the Jammu and Kashmir. Aarti and Moni of the gram, who study in Geeta Vidya Mandir Girls College, Sonepat, got good positions in B.Sc Part-I (Home Science) in their university. "Sapna, who was brought to the gram when she was only a days old, is studying in B.Sc Part-III now,” he added. All the students of the gram have been receiving school education free of cost in Shambhu Dayal Public School, Sonepat, Sant Hari Dass Public School Jatheri road, Little Angel Bright Scholars Home, Fazilpur and MNSS
Rai. The Hindu Girls College and Gita Vidya Mandir Girls College of Sonepat have also been providing education to the girls on nominal charges.

Decline in sugarcane cultivation
Chandigarh, December 1 Officials in the government informed that though there were plans of starting co-generation by using bagasse in the cooperative sugar mills at Palwal and Jind this year, it has been stalled for the time being. With sugarcane production in the state down by at least 40 per cent this year, cooperative sugar mills do not even have sufficient cane for crushing. Says managing director, the federation of cooperative sugar mills, J P Kaushik, "We have to postpone the decision to start co-generation from the two of our mills because of poor availability of cane. With the state government having increased advised price of cane by Rs 35 per quintal this year, we are hoping that there will be more cane production next year and we will be able to start cogeneration then". He also said incidental co-generation had already been done by three mills at Gohana, Sonepat and
Meham. "We have also made ambitious plans to start co-generation, including generation of exportable power, at the mills at Shahabad and Rohtak. We are increasing the capacity of the Shahabad mill from 40,000 quintals per day to 50,000 quintals per day with an investment of Rs 100 crore. This will give us enough bagasse for co-generation of 16 MW of exportable power. Even the Rohtak mill is being shifted and its crushing capacity doubled with an investment of Rs 180 crore. Now this mill will have 12 MW of exportable power," he added. It has been learnt that the area under sugarcane had reduced from 1.40 lakh hectares last year to almost 90,000 hectares this year. With the farmers getting better returns from wheat and paddy, sugarcane farmers have started shifting to these crops. Moreover, the state advised price of sugarcane had remained static at Rs 138 per quintal, even as the cost of production went up. As a result, the area under sugarcane had decreased drastically. This means that the cooperative sugar mills in the state would be able to crush cane for just 90 days this year, as compared to a crushing season of 150 days. As compared to 330 lakh quintal of cane crushed by the cooperative mills last year, they would have just 170 lakh quintal of cane this year.

HJC to show strength at Bhiwani rally
Gurgaon, December 1 While arranging a sizeable turnout at a political function is not a big deal in this era of event management, it is the announcements to be made by HJC president Kuldeep Bishnoi that are being awaited with curiosity. While talking to The Tribune, Bishnoi conceded that the rally was quite significant for his party, though he asserted that he was getting a good response during his tours in different parts of the state. "The rally will mark the beginning of a series of such events to be held in all the 10 Lok Sabha constituencies of the state," he maintained. On being asked about the contents of his speech at the rally, Bishnoi revealed that the names of the HJC nominees for the ensuing Lok Sabha elections would be announced at the rally. "The presidents of the local party units have been asked to submit their panels of LS candidates," he said, adding that if not all, the names of some LS nominees of the party would be announced. Lambasting the BJP and the INLD for entering into an opportunistic pre-poll alliance in the state, the HJC chief asserted that his party has been emerging as a viable alternative to the Congress government in the state. "The people of the state will see for themselves, as the turnout at the rally is going to outnumber that at the recent rallies addressed by the likes of Sonia Gandhi and L.K. Advani," he maintained. Needless to say, much is at stake for the HJC, which had been floated by Bishnoi in presence of his father and former chief minister Bhajan Lal at Rohtak in December last year. Bishnoi is, therefore, going to make all-out effort to ensure the success of this rally, which coincides with the first anniversary of his party. Apart from putting up a show of strength to underline his party's relevance in the wake of the recent BJP-INLD tie-up, Bishnoi would also like to send out a clear message to the BSP and mount pressure on the ruling Congress. It is in this context that the announcement of LS nominees of the HJC has become almost necessary for Bishnoi. Agreeing that the rally is going to be quite significant for his party, the HJC president observes that it
will mark the beginning of his party's electoral campaign.

Students exhibit talent at fashion show
Gurgaon, December 1 "Sustainability has emerged as a basic concern in India during the recent times. The textile industry is generating more than a trillion- dollar revenue per annum globally, with the consumption being concentrated in the developed countries and production in the developing countries. Thus, the environmental impacts are globally distributed. This is an opportune time for a conference like this to share experiences on a global platform," observed Dr S.K. Chaudhuri, director, Australian Wool Innovation and former chairman, NISTI, who participated in the conference as a guest speaker. The other participants attending the conference asserted that the event provided a forum for professionals from research and industry to interact closely with experts and each other to exchange ideas and information. PAF students presented an impressive fashion show titled "Intermezzo" (play Dr Vinod Shanbag, academic adviser, PAF, and head of the academy's R&D wing, maintained that the international conference was a joint effort by PAF and NISTI to address the issue of sustainability in the textile industry. "As a developing country with an aspiring consumption drive and vast untapped markets, the Indian scenario appears largely divorced from these new sensitivities to practice. The conference aims at provoking the Indian and regional academic and business audiences to the emerging thought and to align them with this new global trend," he added.

Ambala, December 1 Most of the times they die due to extreme cold. The city’s Loins Club has been involved in helping these beggars. These poor people do not have roof of their own to take shelter. Members of the club visit railway station and other places where beggars usually pass their nights. They provide quilts and blankets to them without disclosing their identity. The club distributes around 500 quilts every year during the winter days. President of the club Ved Verma said the members take it as a social adventure and carry quilts in their vehicles and roam around in the city till late nights to find out the needy people. According to the club members the government, especially some social organizations should take care of the underprivileged sections of the society. They said some common home like 'rain basera' should be constructed for them so that at least they should have some roof on their heads in the cold weather. Besides the club, there are several organisations like Nagar Sewa Sangh, Jan Sewa Sangh, Ambala welfare society, existing in the city.

Cinemas lose popularity
Kaithal, December 1 The cinema business is going through a difficult phase and the owners who are finding it difficult to meet their day-to-day expenses have started looking for other channels to generate income. Randhir Theatre, in the heart of the town which was a major source of entertainment and was built in the late sixties was recently demolished by the owners as they found it a losing proposition. The managements of two other cinema halls are also having a financial crisis.
The advent of VCRs in the seventies and the eighties and starting of TV channels in the recent years has adversely affected the cinema business. Tirlok Chand Gupta ,a partner in the local Ashoka Theatre, said in the present scenario, it was difficult to run a theatre. Power shortage had added to the woes of the owners whose running costs had escalated due to the reliance of the industry on generating sets. The absence of customers and the imposition of minimum power charges despite cuts had dealt a severe blow to the
business. He said that if the government wanted the cinema industry to survive, it should immediately abolish entertainment tax and provide more incentives and concessions to cinema owners to save the
business.

New place to dump solid waste
Panipat, December 1 The civic body has acquired an eight acre piece of land near Nibari village to dispose the solid waste. Till recently, there was no proper place in the city to dispose of the solid waste, due to which heaps of garbage could be seen lying almost everywhere in the city. Though, the civic body was aware of the garbage problem, it was not in a position take any effective measures due to the non-availability of proper land. According to Nilabh Kumar, a local resident, the historical city of Panipat, a premier town of Haryana, had virtually become a vast garbage depot of its own kind. Almost every inch of the city was covered with heaps of garbage, emanating foul smell, besides being a breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies. Ravinder Chhokar, another resident, said the roads of the city were no better than dirty streets, dotted with potholes that take the form of little ponds in rainy season. Even a little spell of rain turns them into streams bogged with dirty water, which flows into the houses even in the newly created posh colonies and sectors. However, Vimal Kumar, executive officer of the civic body, claimed that such problems would soon be solved. He said the solid waste choked the city drains causing mush problems for the locals. But, with the proper dumping of solid waste, the locals would get relief. He said the civic body
had engaged 25 trolleys to shift the garbage to the newly identified place. Besides, it had also launched a special cleanliness drive in the city, he said. The MC had also roped in some voluntary organisations to make the drive a success. Meanwhile, the district administration has called upon people to participate in the cleanliness drive as it would be almost impossible to rid the city of garbage heaps in the absence of a proper response.

Girl students undertake unsafe travel
Fatehabad, December 1 The girls can be often seen running to catch buses that do not stop after seeing them standing outside the college. More than 600 students of the institution, situated at a distance of 5 km from Fatehabad, are dependent upon the roadways buses for reaching the college and returning home. Many of them come from Fatehabad while others come from neighbouring villages.
The roadways authorities have, in fact, issued passes to 608 girls. The students have met the authorities several times to highlight their problems, but to no avail. They met Haryana education and transport minister Mange Ram Gupta during his visit to the college recently and requested four special buses for the college. But nothing has been done so far despite the assurances of the minister. "Only one special bus comes at 2 pm, at the time of closure of the college. But it is not possible for 600-odd girls to board a bus. Many have to travel hanging on the windows and yet many more have to wait for regular buses, which rarely stop outside the college," alleged Neha, a student. "Not a single special bus comes from the Bhattu side although 150-odd girls come to the college daily from that direction," she added. The students maintain that when the roadways authorities issue bus passes to such a large number of students, they were dutybound to arrange for a sufficient number of buses for their safe travel.
