Centres of learning turn into combat zone
Chandigarh, September 26
The incident occurred just outside the school premises in front of the gate and a few metres away from the Sector 19 police station. The victim, whose friend was said to be involved in the fight, was stabbed several times in the chest by the suspects. He was taken to the Government Medical College & Hospital, Sector 32, where he succumbed to his injuries in the evening. Two of the three attackers, who were minors, were carrying sharp-edged weapons and have been identified as class 11 and 12 students of the school. One of them is the son of a Chandigarh police female constable. The police has arrested two of the suspects, including the constable’s son, while the third is still on the run. The assault occurred at 10.30 am when Shalender, a class 10 student of the school, was attacked by the three suspects who came on a motorcycle as the former was walking out of the school premises. The attackers, who reportedly turned up to avenge an old issue, were beating up Shalender when he saw his friend Pushkar passing by and called him for help. Pushkar rushed to save him when the three attackers stabbed him several times and fled leaving him in a pool of blood. The deceased’s brother, Kundan, who is a hotel management student of the Rayat and Bahra group of institutes, said he was sitting in the Sector 19 park along with his friends when he was told his brother was being beaten up. “I rushed and saw my brother drenched in blood and a PCR vehicle rushed him to the hospital. The assailants even robbed him of his mobile phone and cash. He was stabbed at least seven times in the chest and back and doctors were unable to save him,” he said. Kundan said Pushkar knew Shalender as their families were neighbours in Uttarakhand. The deceased is survived by his parents and a sister and brother. He was working in a hardware company in Sector 41. A case of murder has been registered.
No response from admn, school officials
Even as two school students turned murderers today neither the education department nor school officials reacted to the situation. When the school authorities were contacted about the incident, they casually pleaded ignorance, saying it happened “outside the campus.” The victim’s brother questioned the fate of various “anti-violence” schemes launched by the administration and appointment of psychological mentors in schools.
Cops accused of delayed action
Relatives of the deceased accused the police of taking delayed action when he was inside the emergency of GMCH, Sector 32. They complained of slow response at the hospital resulting in delay of operation. “We have been running after the police since morning and it has been unable to arrest the suspects. Even after the gruesome crime, they are threatening Shalender by sending SMS on his mobile,” the victim’s brother alleged.

Victim’s mom thrashes boy
tribune news service
Chandigarh, September 26
High drama prevailed outside the school premises today when the girl pointed towards a class X boy leaving the school with his mother Meenu Bedi, claiming that he had also molested her. Hearing this, Geeta lunged towards him and starting hitting and abusing him. When Meenu tried to intervene, Geeta hit her with her slipper. The situation turned worse when the father of another boy tried to reason out with the girl’s mother, but ended up being thrashed as well. The school authorities summoned the police and teachers submitted a complaint against the girl and her mother.The girl’s mother maintained that she was innocent and the boy and his mother had misbehaved with her. “Enough is enough. Every second day, the girl accuses someone new of molesting her and her mother abuses and starts beating up students or their parents. They are a potential threat to decorum and safety. Tomorrow, they will start hitting teachers. We will not tolerate this any longer. The girl has psychological problems and needs treatment,” one of the teachers complained. Meanwhile, the other parents have threatened to withdraw their students if the girl continued with the “drama”. “Is she the only child with impressionable mind or vulnerable psychology? What about the innocent boys whom she keeps accusing publicly? Has anybody thought about them? More than the girl, it’s her mother who is the culprit and into the habit of creating a ‘tamasha’. We don’t send our children to school to be falsely accused of charges like rape and molestation, which are the fruit of somebody’s sick imagination.” said Meenu.
Spat on Facebook
Several students covered the spat on their mobile phones and within hours, the video was a rage among city school students, many of whom also uploaded it on Facebook.
‘School has had enough’
We have had enough of this. The girl will not step on the premises from tomorrow. She has psychological problems, which has been confirmed by a team of counsellors. We tried to make the girl comfortable. The school starts at 7.30 am, but she reaches at about 9 am, enters the examination room and is given a question paper. Within minutes, she faints and is carried to the art room by our doctor and her mother. She regains her senses within seconds and tries to attempt the paper and faints gain. She has not completed and handed over a single paper and her best performance is copying a complete question paper. Things have now run out of our hands. We cannot allow anybody to create ruckus and embarrass both students and
teachers.— Jacob, school principal

Residents oppose imposition of enhancement fee
Panchkula, September 26 The fee, ranging between Rs 2,000 and Rs 4,500 per square yard, was imposed following a directive of the local sessions court and HUDA has already begun issuing notices to plot holders. The authority has imposed the enhancement charges for the fifth time in these sectors on thousands of holders of ten, eight, six, four and three 'marla' plots. The fee was earlier levied in August, 2005, September, 2003, May, 2002 and November, 2000. In a memorandum submitted to HUDA chief administrator DPS Nangal, the allottees said there were several discrepancies that HUDA should have addressed before reaching a conclusion,” said SS Gill, president of the Joint Action Committee. Moreover, the interest charged was not according to norms, he said. In 2002, HUDA decided that 15 per cent interest should be charged on enhanced compensation. He said instead of implementing the same, HUDA was charging interest on a compound basis. Heamnt Sareen, a resident of Sector 25, said the enhanced compensation was being charged on 402.75 acres. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India in its report for March, 2004, castigated HUDA for acquiring 402.75 acres that fell in Ghaggar river at an expenditure of Rs 23.36 crore. The report stated that “due to acquisition of 402.75 acres falling in Ghaggar river, the entire expenditure incurred on it went down the drain”. “Why should the existing allottees be made to pay for the mistakes of HUDA officials?” he questioned. “A large chunk of land in these sectors that comes under HUDA has not been allotted for setting up institutions, post office, fire station, police post, sewerage treatment plant, crèche sites and cremation ground,” said PS Malik, general secretary of the action committee. “How can the enhanced compensation for such sites be forced upon the existing allottees when the land is still owned by HUDA?” asked Malik. The
allottees, however, called off their protest after the chief administrator assured them that a committee would be formed to look into the matter.

Municipal Council wants land acquisition de-notified
Zirakpur, September 26 The council has also planned to adopt self-certification and notice of completion scheme. Other agendas included installation of five tubewells for water supply, Rs 12 crore for roads and increased salaries of council staff. The council budget i.e. Rs 36 crore (approx) was passed by the government. During the meeting, NK Sharma stated that residents, farmers and stakeholders of Singhpura and Ramgarh Bhuda villages had approached the council to de-notify the land of their respective villages that was acquired by PUDA in 2004. In their application to the council, residents told PUDA’s move to acquire the land was widely opposed by them. They said the land of Singhpura and Ramgarh Bhuda villages were later merged within the limits of Zirakpur Municipal Council and as per law, the development of the entire land now has to be initiated by the council. They said after merging in the MC limits, GMADA did not have any stake to interfere with the working of the council. They requested the council to start development of their villages and pursue their matter with the Punjab government not to allow GMADA to interfere. Sharma said the council would write to the state government to de-notify the acquisition. Talking about self-certification scheme, Sharma stated that the state government had directed the council through a letter to adopt self-certification and notice of completion scheme. He said promoters would get self-certification and notice of
completion by a registered architect. The government had also asked for suggestions
and objections from residents about the scheme, he added. The council also handed over the land in Singhpura to sewerage board for setting up of a sewerage treatment plant. Five tubewells will be installed by MC for water supply in Gurjivan Vihar, Guru Gobind Singh Nagar, Bhuda village, Gill colony in ward no 1 and ward
no 15. Sharma also asked sanitary inspector Santosh Kumari to visit areas regularly to check cleanliness in the town. The council also rejected the installation of mobile tower in the residential area, he added.

No takers for Jan Aushadhi store
Mohali, September 26 As many as 15 pharmacists were interviewed by the authorities of the Civil Hospital on August 8 to run the Jan Aushadhi store. A merit list was prepared and the top three pharmacists were selected to run the drug store. However, none of them showed interest in taking up the job. The hospital authorities then intimated the next three applicants on the merit list, but failed to get any response. The process of inviting all applicants, who were interviewed, is still on but the response is not good. SMO in charge of the hospital Dr Rajeev Bhalla said interviews in this regard were even held about three to four months ago when 22 pharmacists had applied for the job. But later none of them joined. He said the applicants at that time were under the impression that the drug store was a part of the hospital, but when they got to know that it was only located on the hospital premises they lost interest. This time it had been made very clear to the applicants that the drug store was not part of the hospital. The Rogi Kalyan Samiti, which will run the drug store, had offered Rs 6,500 per month last time which has now been increased to Rs 7,500 per month. Patients belonging to economically weaker sections were hit by the closure of a Jan Aushadhi store. The closure was ordered by senior officials of the health department after patients had complained of some alleged irregularities in the functioning of the set-up. A round- the-clock Jan Aushadhi store was inaugurated by Ram Vilas Paswan, Union Minister for Chemicals, Fertilisers and Steel at the Civil Hospital here on February 23, 2009. The prime objective of opening such a set-up was to promote the sale of quality generic drugs that were available at far more cheaper rates as compared to branded medicines.

‘Back to work’, lobby is Josan’s office
Chandigarh, September 26 He discharged his duties as principal from the lobby outside the principal’s office, locked by the management committee. Claiming to have taken his first step towards ‘a thousand-mile journey’, he spent the day meeting students and of officials who, according to him, came to welcome him back. His ‘return’ made the college environs tense as both the staff and students were caught between the management, which refused to accept the revocation of his suspension and Josan, who claimed to have returned as principal. The moment Josan reached the college, the staff either retreated to their offices or classrooms. Barring a few students and some non-teaching staff, they avoided visiting the administrative block, lest they be seen with Josan. “It is we teachers who have endured the worst in this episode. We do not know where to pitch our loyalties,” said a senior teacher. “It may not be official, but Josan is an offender, according to the management. No teacher can afford to be seen with him. We avoided the administrative block,” the teacher added. While none from the management was willing to comment, sources said teachers had been directed not to get official work done from Josan and follow the procedure of principal Shashi Gupta before proceeding on medical leave. The Panjab University registrar, in exercise of his powers, directed the management the previous Saturday to revoke Josan’s extended suspension as the departmental enquiry might take time. Even before the management received the order, Josan reached the college and submitted a joining letter. Following this, the management lodged a complaint, accusing him of trespass, and locked the principal’s office, forcing him to stay in the lobby today.
Legal notice in offing
Sources say the management plans to serve a legal notice on Josan, claiming his joining to be illegal. They add that the directive to revoke his suspension will only be taken during a general body meeting, which will take at least 10 days.

6 HUDA showrooms, 23 cars attached
Panchkula, September 26 According to information, petitioners Ratan Singh and others had alleged that in 1992, HUDA had acquired their land to develop new sectors — 23 to 28 — but failed to pay them full compensation. To seek compensation, they had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The High Court had sent back the case to the Panchkula district court. On February 10, the Panchkula court decided Rs 250 per sq yd along with 30 per cent as compensation to the landowners. Besides, the court also directed HUDA to pay 9 per cent interest to the petitioners from 1992 to 2011. However, in spite of the orders, HUDA failed to pay the compensation. The petitioners again moved court, which today passed orders to attach showrooms and cars of HUDA. Sources said most cars attached by the court were of senior officials of HUDA. In August, 2010, too, a court had put the HUDA headquarters in Sector 6 on sale and directed to freeze its fixed deposits lying in nine banks, besides attaching 17 official cars. However, the HUDA authorities paid the amount to escape the penalty.

Jolt to Bansal ahead of MC poll
Strongman Babla, DCC chief lose; BJP emerges winner Pradeep Sharma Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 26 In fact, it was a morale booster to the BJP in the run-up to the MC elections, as the party won a majority of seats in the elections. A senior BJP leader, Des Raj Gupta, however, lost the election. Of the nine directors elected today, six - Ramvir Bhatti, Bhajan Singh, Kulwinder Singh Kala, Dinesh Kumar Mahajan, Jujhar Singh and Subhash Chand - owe their allegiance to the saffron party, while Anand Singh and Bhin Sen have Congress affiliations. Gubaksh Singh is seen an Independent candidate. The grain market, with a budget of crores of rupees, is an influential body and political parties try hard to control it by getting their candidate elected as its chairman. An impressive show in the market committee elections can prove to be a morale booster for the party cadre ahead of the MC elections, said observers. While five members are elected from the producers’ category, one is elected from the “paledars”. Also, cooperative societies elect one director, while two directors are elected from the “arhtiyas”. Though the elections are not held on party lines, senior leaders of various political parties contest the election with a view to controlling the powerful body - which wields considerable influence on the decision making of all political parties.

Noisy scenes mar F&CC meeting
Chandigarh, September 26 Accusing the MC Chief Engineer of misleading committee members, nominated councillor Dr AP Sanwaria said during the last F&CC meeting, the Chief Engineer had informed the committee members that the company, AK Sood Engineers, had been debarred from taking part in the tendering process of the corporation for one year and that the period expired in April. Whereas, in March, 2010, the House had unanimously decided that AK Sood Engineers and Sarvpriya Construction would be debarred from participating in the tendering process for the next five years, for their alleged involvement in the cement scam. Congress councillor Chander Muhki Sharma questioned if the information had been tabled in the House after changing the time period of debarring the company. Accepting the fact, MC Commissioner Prerna Puri said the information was not tabled in the House and the decision was taken at former MC Commissioner level. The committee members demanded that the decision should have been tabled in the House for members’ opinion on whether the company’s ban should be revoked within one year or not. While the committee had approved the reserve price of Rs 12.50 lakh for auctioning of the the exhibition ground of Sector 34, the authorities again proposed the reserve price of Rs 10 lakh fixed last year. Dr Sanwaria objected to this and asked the authorities to raise the price. Besides, the committee approved the development of green belt at Kajheri

CAT notice to Centre, admn
Chandigarh, September 26 Taking cognizance of an application filed by lawyer Arvind Thakur, challenging “outdated” provision in the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, as extended to Chandigarh holding up the promotions of the constables for several years now, CAT issued notice to the Central government and the UT administration for October 13. Under Rule 13.7, the constables currently in the age group of 45-50 years are expected to clear the B-1 test. This, despite the fact that the central as well as the Punjab and Haryana governments have not made these tests mandatory for promotion of police personnel. In his application, Thakur demanded CAT’s intervention so that deserving constables could be promoted without undergoing the promotion tests, under Rule 13.7 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. Even a communication from the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Adviser to the UT Administrator on April 8, had said: “The UT administration has, in the past, exercising powers conferred by sub-section (3) of Section 46 of the Police Act, 1861, and sub-section (1) of Section 80 of the Punjab Police Act, 2007, issued amendments to the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. Accordingly, the Chandigarh administration may take appropriate action at their end under relevant rules/Acts.” Earlier, in an application under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, and Articles 20 and 21 of the Constitution to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Global Human Rights Council (GHRC) demanded commission’s intervention so that deserving constables could be promoted without undergoing promotion tests, under Rule 13.7 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934.
