State to have more permanent lok adalats
Karnal, September 26 He urged the people to resolve petty matters and routine complaints through mutual consent instead of rushing to courts and underlined the role of lok adalats in the dispensation of speedy and inexpensive justice. Justice Mittal, who was here to inspect the functioning of a mega lok adalat, also counselled the public service departments like Vidyut Vitran Nigam, Haryana Urban development Authority (HUDA) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to change their attitude and address the grievances of the people at their own level and not compel them to rush to the courts. Stressing that the lok adalats could play an effective and positive role in the speedy settlement of disputes through mutual consent, Justice Mittal said, “Any number of courts would be inadequate if every matter is dragged to the court”. He disclosed that the Haryana State Legal Service Authority had set up mediation centres and legal aid clinics and also provided helpline to create awareness among the people about their legal rights and the importance of lok adalats. As many as 1,893 cases out of 3,245 were settled at the lok adalat which included 41 accident claim cases, 31 marriage related disputes, 188 civil, 788 vehicle challans, 123 criminal cases and 236 cheque bounce cases, Chief Judicial magistrate Rahul Walia said.

Paddy procurement
Chandigarh, September 26 Haryana Food and Supplies Minister Mahender Partap Singh said the government was committed to make payments to the farmers within 48-72 hours of the sale of their produce. For this, sufficient cash credit limit for the purchase of paddy and bajra was being arranged from the Reserve Bank of India. He said the district administrations and the heads of procurement agencies would ensure that the stocks purchased by them were lifted and the mandis were cleared the same day. No glut would be allowed to take place in mandis. It would also be ensured that paddy and bajra purchased by the agencies were stored properly and kept under safe custody. The minister appealed to the farmers to bring their produce in mandis dry and clean so that they might not face any difficulty in selling it. He said the chief administrator,
Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board, had made it mandatory for every arhtias to have electric fans, jharnas, sufficient labour, wooden crates and polythene covers. This facility could be availed by any farmer to bring his produce up to the prescribed specifications. He said this year, about 48 lakh metric tonnes of paddy was likely to arrive in the mandis. Out of this, about 20 lakh metric tonnes of paddy might be of basmati and superior varieties and the remaining about 28 lakh metric tonnes of levy varieties. About 2.50 lakh metric tonnes of bajra might arrive in the mandis of the state, he added. The minister said the minimum support price (MSP) for the common variety of paddy had been fixed at Rs 1,080 per quintal and for Grade ‘A’ paddy as Rs 1,110 per quintal. Similarly, the minimum support price for coarse grains like bajra, maize and jowar had been fixed at Rs 980 per quintal. He said 182 mandis or purchase centres had been made functional for the procurement of paddy whereas 53 mandis or purchase centres had been set up for the purchase of bajra. It would be ensured that mandis were equipped with all basic amenities such as drinking water, electricity, pucca platform, sheds and parking place.

Book on Haryanavi humour released
Sirsa, September 26 “Chaupal Pe Roadways” is the sixth book on Haryanavi humour written by Shamim Sharma, who earlier penned “Chaupal Ke Makhol-1”, Chaupal Ke Makhaul -II, “Chaupal Ke Chale”, “Chaupal Pe Tau” and “Chaupal Pe Tabar Taul”. “This book is a collection of witty comments one gets to hear while travelling in Haryana Roadways buses,” said Shamim Sharma, who is executive director of the Jan Nayak Chaudhary Devi Lal Vidyapeeth here, about her new book. Shamin said: “Haryanavis are humorous by nature. They have a witty comment ready for almost every situation. Sometimes the one-liners of illiterate rustic Haryanavis can put a highly educated person to shame. Through this book, I have tried to compile all those anecdotes, conversations between co-passengers, between conductors and passengers and between drivers and conductors in my latest book”. Shamim said: “She is intolerant about cheap and concocted anecdotes passed off as Haryanavi humour these days”. “A real Haryanavi joke carries subtle humour and no double entendre. Humour in Haryana is not limited to the educated, perhaps illiterate farmers and rural women have a greater sense of humour than their urban counterparts,” she added. Dr Shamim Sharma’s tryst with Haryanavi humour began in the mid-90s when she brought out a fortnightly called “Thari Maari Chaupal” as part of the Hisar Saaksharta Samiti’s efforts to promote literacy among women.

Hisar Byelection
Chandigarh, September 26 The speakers, who met to discuss the Hisar byelection, were emphatic that the Congress would win the election hands down. However, they underlined an important message -- the need to sink individual differences with the candidate and work for the party. They were almost unanimous that no matter who the candidate, the rank and file of the party should join hands and ensure a win for the Congress. They went on to add that settling personal scores with the candidate could wait until after the election is over, indicating that differences should be glossed over for the time being. While the state unit chief of the party, Phool Chand Mullana, asked Jai Prakash to be “polite” while asking for vote and support, Jai Prakash, too, sensing that there could be some unresolved differences with colleagues, asked for forgiveness for past mistakes while seeking support by individually naming leaders. Senior leader Sampat Singh stressed the need for “marketing” the Congress. He, too, suggested to Jai Prakash, “There may be dissatisfied and angry people when we go out on field. Fold your hands and touch their feet. There is no harm.” Chief Parliamentary Secretary Ram Kishan Fauji emphasised that it did not behove of a party worker to find fault in the decision of the party high command. “I can have personal differences with him but now is not the time to sort these out. This election is not about an individual or his capability but about winning for the party and our leadership,” he said. A ticket aspirant himself, Chattar Pal, also a local Congressman and former MLA, only joined the leaders on the dais after the CM sent a message for him. He said the leaders should ensure a win for the Congress ideology. The state youth Congress president, Chiranjeev Rao, said experience had shown that the Congress was the biggest enemy of the Congress and urged workers to forget their differences and work together.

barriers and the efforts would be directed towards increasing per hectare productivity.
