Yet another fuel scam
Chandigarh, December 4 This is the second such incident of pilferage of petrol from the petrol stations of the corporation in just over four months between April and August. The CITCO managing director, DK Tiwari, has ordered that action should be initiated immediately. The Sector 9 petrol station reportedly caters to about 350 government departments of the UT and Punjab, which purchase petrol/diesel on credit for vehicles from here worth over Rs 2.5 crores a month. The CITCO authorities have already issued a charge sheet to the in charge of the petrol station following an inquiry report of the local vigilance department. Tiwari said: “General manager AK Malhotra has already been asked to take necessary action on the internal audit report, which is a regular feature. In case there is any excess loss above the permissible limit, recovery would be made from the staff,” he said. The latest audit records of the Sector 9 petrol station pointed out a shortage of 8,028.28 litres of unleaded petrol, 8,019 litres of diesel, 135 litres of Speed petrol and 71.27 litres of Hi-Speed Diesel worth Rs 8.91 lakh (earlier rates) in a period of six months from April 1 to October 31 this year. The figures of the report revealed that the total sale of unleaded petrol at the petrol station was 47,45,772 litres, out of which a total loss of 37403.28 litres has been noticed. “Even after deduction of the allowed loss (0.60 per cent to 0.75 per cent), which was 29,375 litres, another 8,028.28 litres of petrol going missing raises suspicion,” said an official of the corporation on the condition of anonymity. Similarly, out of the total sale of 26,63,298 litres of diesel in the period, the total loss was 13,446 litres. After calculation of the allowed loss, which is 0.20 per cent to 0.25 per cent in case of diesel, the remaining figure is 8,019 litres. In its report, the vigilance cell has mentioned that negligence and mismanagement at the Sector 56 petrol station had led to the siphoning of petrol. The accounts were not maintained properly as per the Indian Oil norms, the report stated. “The story is not different at the Sector 9 petrol station,” said an employee of the corporation.

Love of Scotch drove him to crime
Chandigarh, December 4
A team of the Sector 3 police station today arrested Rakesh, alias Sanjay, as the prime accused along with three others who used to assist him in disposing of the stolen goods. The other accused are 65-year-old Mohan Lal, Babu Ram (54) and Saranjit Kumar (41), a jeweller of Mohali. ASP (Central) Desraj Singh said Rakesh had a criminal past and was released from Burail Jail four months ago.

Candidates trash Admn claims
Chandigarh, December 4
The Administration used to constitute special teams to keep a check on the use of polythene in the city, however the authorities seems to be turning a blind eye when it comes to political big-wigs. Although garbage tops the list of issues that matters in these civic polls, the campaign of the candidates is adding to the pile of garbage on streets with party flags made of cheap polythene. The plastic banners and flags bearing party symbols have been displayed all over the city on public property. A trader said shopkeepers were fined for using a polythene bag, but there was no check on the polythene flags being put up by various candidates. RK Kohli, an environmentalist and chairperson of the botany department, Panjab University, said if polythene was banned in the city, the ban should be implemented completely. “Campaign product made of plastic that is non-biodegradable, toxic and not recyclable is harmful to the environment. Its burning leads to emission of dioxin (toxic chemical),” he said. Plastic products are cheaper compared to those made of cloth, hence the parties prefer them. SK Khosla, member of the resident welfare association (RWA), Sector 40, said the agenda of parties to make city garbage free was mere eyewash as they themselves were using plastic for the campaign. Abhishek Dev, Joint Secretary (Homes) and election observer, said he had called a meeting of contesting candidates to sensitise them about election violations. “I will be telling them not to use plastic banners or flags,” he said.

Dev Anand remained a child at heart
Chandigarh, December 4 Sardar Anjum, a celebrated local poet, lived on the seventh floor of Anand Studio in Pavel and was close to Dev Anand and his brothers Chetan and Goldie. “We spent our evenings etching scenes and lending the colour of music to the treasure of words we picked from the world. I am a witness to the shaping up of ‘Guide’ and other Bollywood legends.” “Dev was an eternal lover boy. He would not stop. He was always in a rush for something undefined. He was looking for something, indefinite and at the same time covering up for his unrealised passion. He was very disturbed and restless about something. We knew it that it was his dream of his ‘pari’ (Suraiyya) that led him on his journey of the unreal world. His life was a dream which consumed itself.” “He always asked me to keep the revolutionary flame in my pen burning. He even initiated a political party in Mumbai and asked me to join him. He had discussed about a new ‘Anarkali’ with Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. I have a recording of some of those songs with me. He was a very simple man,” Anjum smiled.

Punishment sans offence
Chandigarh, December 4 A majority of them have blamed it on the department’s recent arrangement of distribution of power bills by post in the sector. “With no fault at our end, about 250 shopkeepers have received disconnection orders from the department a few days back. Many others have to pay the penalty for not paying in time,” claimed JPS Kalra, general secretary, Sector 17 Traders Association. He added that the fault was in the new arrangement. “Unlike the previous practice, the postmaster of the area has not delivered many of the bills at the consumers’ addresses, which is the root cause of the problem,” he said. “The sector has multi-storeyed buildings, which have various offices and businesses being run by different persons. Despite being located in one building, most of them have their separate electricity meters. Instead of delivering the bills at specific addresses, the post office official has been throwing bills at one point each at the buildings, which creates the problem,” he said. He added that earlier, the bills had been delivered at specific addresses at every building by electricity department officials. Two shopkeepers, Sudhir Kumar and RP Singh, whose electricity supply had been disconnected by the department a few days back, lamented that they had paid their bills. “As some other consumers in the building could not pay their bills as they did not get those, electricity supply to the entire building was disconnected by the department,” said Sudhir Kumar. “The department should hire the services of some private courier carriers,” demanded the shopkeepers.

Development suffers as Shivalik board sleeps
Panchkula, December 4 As a result, many villages have been without the road network and irrigation facilities. In fact, the board, headed by Haryana Chief Minister, was constituted in 1993 for implementing development works in far-flung areas of the Shivalik region of three districts of Panchkula, Ambala and Yamuna Nagar. A Shivalik Development Agency (SDA), headed by the Ambala Commissioner, was also formed to plan development works for these areas. At a meeting of the board on August 19, 2008, it was decided to spend more on watershed management and schemes related to the PWD (B&R) and PWD (water supply and sanitation) from its own funds, as the main problem of the foothills was soil erosion and water-run-off. However, no work has been initiated in this regard ever since. Even works approved by the Shivalik Development Agency prior to this meeting were not carried out, as the funds meant for these works were not released by board. At a meeting on January 31, 2008, the agency approved the construction of roads at Toran, Bhawana, Diwanwala and Kharkuan villages at a cost of 1.65 crore. However, it could not be carried out as the funds released were withdrawn after the decision of the board at its August 19, 2008, meeting. Even small farmers had to face hardships due this decision. The SDA had decided to install tubewells for irrigation at 24 villages, as the farmers of region were in no position to bear the cost of installation of tubewells due to small landholdings. These were supposed to be handed over to users’ societies, which had to bear the running and maintenance costs. However, the work was never initiated due to the decision of the board. Moreover, PWD officials claimed that neither the SDA nor the residents of area had contacted them for the requirement of roads and irrigation in the area. PWD (B&R) Xen BS Khokhar said at the 2008 meeting, it was decided that all roads were to be built by the PWD. However, nothing was communicated to the PWD regarding the requirements in the area by the SDA, he said. Ambala Commissioner Anil Kumar, on the other hand, said the PWD had to take up the road laying work in the Shivalik area as it had been doing in other parts of the district. None had stopped it from doing so, he added.

Supporters of Congress, BJP-SAD clash
Chandigarh, December 4
Both ward-15 candidates levelled allegations of assault on each other and lodged separate police complaints at the Sector-34 police station. While Chander Mukhi Sharma alleged that supporters of his rival tore Congress banners from near a school at Sector 44-B, Harjinder Kaur alleged that her opponent assaulted her party workers. “My brother Suraj Mukhi was passing by the area when he saw two turbaned youths using sticks to remove banners of my party. As he confronted them, they lied that they were from the enforcement wing,” said Chander Mukhi Sharma. “He checked and found that they were lying. He came to know that they were supporters of Harjinder Kaur. They threatened him. As he stopped them, they fell. They were nabbed by passersby, who beat them up,” he added. He said the youths then confessed that Harinder Kaur had given them Rs 250 each for tearing the posters. Refuting the allegations, the SAD-BJP candidate said Chander Mukhi Sharma assaulted and thrashed supporters of her party. “I have complained to the police and will complain to the Election Commission. He manhandled my supporters for no fault of theirs. The allegations against me are baseless. My workers were never involved in tearing posters,” she added. The police took the complaints of both parties and started investigations. DSP (South) BS Negi said they received the complaints and were investigating.

Youth is in, but mostly fielded from colonies and villages
Chandigarh, December 4
Neeru Yadav (28) is the youngest candidate of the Congress, from ward 7. Sourab Joshi (31) is the youngest candidate of the BJP, from ward 2. Interestingly, most of the young candidates have been fielded by both parties from the wards which comprise colonies and villages, which include wards 11, 14, 19, 20 and 25. In fact, the high commands of both parties have issued directions to candidate selection committee that there should be an equal number of youth representation in the final list of candidates.
Following the directions, last-minute changes have been made in the final lists by both parties. The ticket of many senior leaders and sitting councillors of both parties have been cancelled for adjusting the young and faces. The leaders who have had to face the axe include Gurcharan Dass Kala, Sohan Lal Vaid, Kuldeep Singh and Bhupinder Singh Badheri. Both parties have avoided giving ticket to the elderly and have instead preferred middle-aged candidates. The Congress has given ticket to Kashmiri Devi from ward 14 and the BJP to Satinder Dhawan from ward 1 and Desraj Gupta from ward 26. They are the only three elderly women in the fray.

open house response It was a very heartening sight to watch comparatively young candidates doing rounds of their wards seeking public support for their candidature in the forthcoming Municipal Corporation elections. We are so sick and fed up watching the same faces running the affairs of the corporation from the past several years. There are no fresh ideas in the system. There is no sound of taking up new challenges for the corporation, particularly youth activities. The house proceedings clearly reflect on the absence of due place for youth, particularly their education, jobs and sports. It is high time when youngsters demanded a place in the decision-making bodies from the political parties they were affiliated to in the first place. Municipal Corporation is an important podium for the youth of the city to raise their issues. Besides talk about roads, water and public services, issues concerning youth exclusively, particularly education, sports and residential facilities in hostels and paying guest accommodation, need a special attention. There is also nothing denying the fact that no major no change in expected in the near future because the existing system does not allow easy entry. The Rahul Gandhi intervention which led to entry of at least four names in the candidature of the Congress candidates is a very welcome step. The real change will only come when the youth themselves decide to raise their voice and make efforts for making a place for themselves. Harsh Chaudhary Youth power
Youngsters made Anna Hazare’s campaign successful and candidates like the BJP’s Saurabh Joshi have become a part of the ongoing change. In case youngsters are elected, it will be very interesting to hear their voice in the house of the corporation. It is the youngsters who can help fulfil Anna’s dream of a corruption-free society. Youngsters are actually participating in discussions concerning elections and candidates. Ranbir Arora
Give a chance
As India is the nation with the maximum number of youth, it is important to give a chance to young leaders. I am happy to see that political parties have given a chance to young faces, this time. We live in a democracy where elections decide the faces which govern our councils, corporations, states and country. The youth of our country have started believing that elections are only a cup for the politicians who are not seen to be carrying a clean reputation. Seeing newspaper cuttings in different newspapers this time, it is very pleasing to see young faces. Can this be a signal of change for the future? Students who participate in college and campus politics to ensure a clean atmosphere for their fellow students also have the capability to do it in the society. Voters need to listen to them carefully and give a fair chance to their decision of making a career in politics. The meaning of politics, as a common man understands, can only change according to its dictionary meaning in case the general public comes forward and helps usher in a change. Amit Kharwal
Groom them
Young leaders should not be imposed on people. Rather, they should be figured out from the grassroots level and groomed. India is a land of a million hidden talents. All they need is a proper platform. If such a platform is given, it will not only attract more and more educated people and professionals into politics, but also strengthen the core value of the largest democracy of the world significantly. Any young leader should not be given the party ticket or ministerial berth only because he or she is a Gandhi, Pawar, Scindia, Abdullah, Sangma, Pilot or Sayeed. They need to prove their credibility as a leader first. It is a fact that every society needs a dynamic leader because people cannot lead themselves. Do the emerging youth icons have the capability to judge the exact demand and requirements of the common man? Have they simply become leaders because they are sons or daughters of ministers, former ministers or persons having a significant stake in the corridors of power? If the youth leader comes from the ‘aam aadmi’ category, then we are leading towards a bright future. Everyone in this country has the right to contest elections and take an active part in Indian politics. But, this role should be completely circled around the person’s capability as politics is not family business. In fact, the Chandigarh Administration should nominate youngsters as nominated councillors. The only way to change the political system is to bring the youth to politics. A few political parties have opened doors for the youth to join politics. You do not need to belong to a political family or know a political heavyweight to join them. Anyone can come and join politics as there is a free and fair process. In fact, political parties should include education criteria of candidates while giving ticket to the youth, who should be at least graduate. After all, they have to deal with corporation and Administration issues. Sachin Sharma
Major issues
People are fed up with old faces.The youth are angry with the prevailing corruption. The youth of today are more confident and energetic. There are certain issues, including disposal of garbage, stray cattle and overcrowded parking, which need a fresh look. RK Kapoor

Mohali, December 4
