Bhiwani institute to be upgraded, if terms met
Bhiwani, September 19 Hooda, who was addressing a gathering after laying the foundation of a 500-bedded hospital on the premises of the BITS today, called upon the teachers to provide quality education to children so as to enable them compete globally. The CM said the state government was all set to make Haryana an educational hub not only of the country, but of the world. To achieve this objective, a number of steps had been taken for the development of education in all parts of the state. General secretary of the All-India Congress Committee and former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijay Singh said Haryana had set examples which were being appreciated in the country. He said AICC chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi had quoted Haryana’s land acquisition policy as exemplary in their meetings. He also praised Hooda for his policy to open “kisan schools” in every district of the state. “By 2050, there will be 5 crore vacancies in the world and to find eligible employees for them will be a Herculean task,” said the AICC general secretary. BITS chairman Shashi Ranjan Parmar and co-chairman Om Prakash Bahalwala honoured Hooda with title “Shiksha Ratan” and Digvijay Singh with “Rajrishi”. Earlier, Hooda unveiled the statue of former Chief Minister BD Gupt and inaugurated BD Gupt Memorial Park on the Hisar road.

Murder triggers violence
Fatehabad, September 19 All was not well between them and they had serious differences for a long time. Anil was at a “jagran” when Jagdish, accompanied by his brother Dharam Pal, allegedly fired several shots at Anil. The latter received four bullet injuries. He died while being taken to Hisar by the villagers. As news of Anil’s death reached Saniana, villagers went berserk and ransacked a hotel run by Jagdish and set a cloth shop on fire. The shop belonged to Sat Charaya, who had organised the “jagran”. The villagers also tried to torch the house of the accused, but were stopped by the police. They later pelted stones at his house. The villagers assembled near Bhakra Canal bridge on the Chandigarh road and blocked traffic. The road remained closed for over three hours before the SP, JS Lamba, ADC Ashok Meena and Tohana SDM Ashwani Maingi reached there. Lamba told the villagers that an FIR had been registered and police parties sent to arrest the accused. This pacified the irate villagers and they lifted the road blockade.

HC directs action against Panipat judge
Chandigarh, September 19 “Let the matter be placed before the Administrative Judge of the officer concerned for taking appropriate action as deemed necessary,” Justice Ranjit Singh ruled. The accused, a resident of Israna in Panipat district, was booked in a murder case registered under Sections 302, 323, and 34 of the IPC at the Israna police station. Being a juvenile then, he was directed to be released on bail by the High Court. But, Gupta ordered his arrest after he turned major. Turning down Gupta’s explanation, Justice Ranjit Singh asserted:
“This is a case where the petitioner was released on bail by this court, being a juvenile. Even if he, subsequently, was declared a major, the Additional Sessions Judge could not have directed him to be taken in custody...” Justice Ranjit Singh said the petitioner, since released on bail, would continue to participate in the trial. On the previous hearing, he had called for Gupta’s explanation after the state counsel had informed the Bench that she had directed the petitioner to be taken into custody, after the dismissal of his prayer for declaring him a juvenile was upheld by the High Court. “Justice Ranjit Singh had asked her to make clear “how she could direct the petitioner to be taken into custody once there was an order directing his release on bail by this court, even though on the ground that the petitioner was subsequently declared a major”. |

CBI tracks ‘dead’ boy to Alwar, arrests him
Palwal, September 19 While the local police had completely failed to trace Sanjay in more than a year, the CBI team not only located the boy, but also arrested him within a few days. The CBI team caught Sanjay from Jat village in Alwar district of Rajasthan on September 15. The boy was handed over to the local police in presence of DCP (Gurgaon-south) Pala Ram. Sanjay was arrested by the local police on the charge of theft on May 16, 2009. The next day he was produced in a local court, which sent him to police custody for two days. However, according to the officials concerned at the Hailey Mandi police station, the boy dodged them and fled from their custody. On the other hand, Sanjay’s father Tara Chand alleged that his son had been killed by the policemen while he was in their custody. Tara Chand moved the court and an inquiry was instituted into the matter. In due course, two police personnel, including the investigating official and a munshi, were arrested for their negligence. However, apparently not satisfied with the working of the police, the Punjab and Haryana High Court asked the CBI to carry out an inquiry in this regard. Following this, a CBI team reached Gurgaon to get to the bottom of the matter. Within a few days, the CBI team nabbed the boy and handed him over to the Gurgaon police.

Odissi dancer mesmerises
Sirsa, September 19 The dancer started her performance with “Durga Stuti” in Manglacharan, an invocation dance for Goddess Durga. Later, she performed “Pallavi”, a pure dance item in which a raga is elaborated through eye movements, body postures and intricate footwork. “Pallavi literally means blossoming. This is applicable not only to the dance, but also to the music, which accompanies it,” the dancer told the audience. She finished her performance after a dance on Tulsi Dass’s hymn “Bhaj Man Ram Charan Sukh Dai”. Kavita fascinated the audience with her graceful movements, supple footwork and expressive eyes. Daughter and disciple of veteran Odissi maestro Guru Harekrishna Behera, she was drawn, as though predestined, into the profession at the tender age of eight, Kavita said.

Hooda govt accused of pro-Jat bias
Chandigarh, September 19 Addressing a press conference at the Chandigarh Press Club here today, party president Kanta Alhadiya said the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government had a soft corner for the Jats while all other castes were being ignored. Raising objections over registration of a murder case against Hisar SP Subhash Yadav, she said no action was initiated against any top-ranking official when two persons were burnt alive in Mirchpur. “However, the government was quick to register a case against the SP for violence during the protest by Jats. This clearly shows that the government is only watching the interest of the Jat community,” she said.
