Jind roads cry for attention
Jind, March 5 “The two-km patch from Rohtak bypass to Tau Devi Lal Chowk is in a bad shape and the authorities have been turning a blind eye to the problems faced by the commuters,” claims Parmod Kumar, a local shopkeeper. While the potholes have turned into craters, lot of dust and sand emanates from the unmetalled roads,” he adds. “The road has not been repaired properly since last monsoon. It is a constant source of accidents. While trying to avoid potholes, vehicles coming from opposite direction incessantly collide with each other,” says Vikram, another resident. Claiming that the poor condition of roads could be attributed to political reasons, the lack of will on part of the authorities was also a major factor, he says. “A majority of the roads in the town, which was once a political hub of the state, are in a bad condition and no steps are being taken to improve civic infrastructure in the colonies,” complains Vijender Redu, a member of the local civic body. The local residents have staged blockades atleast three times in the past
few months, but to no avail, he says. INLD MLA from Julana Parmender Dhull has alleged that the state government had been ignoring Jind in the development process. He claims that his view had been supported by the CAG report and the party would soon launch an agitation. Deputy Commissioner Yudhbir Singh could not be contacted despite several attempts.

Now, video-conferencing for advocates, prisoners
Fatehabad, March 5 Similarly, medical officers appearing before the courts to record their evidence will also be
provided the facility to do so through videoconferencing. The Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary, Home and Administration of Justice Department, Haryana, has written to the Director-General of Prisons, Haryana, and all the Deputy Commissioners of the state in this regard. “The arrangements of the government are in accordance with the outcome of the meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the Punjab and Haryana High Court held on November 14, 2011,” said ML Kaushik, Deputy Commissioner, Fatehabad. Medical officers have to face a lot of difficulty while recording their evidence in medico-legal cases dealt with them, particularly after they are transferred from the place where they had issued medico-legal report of injuries or postmortem reports of diseased persons. Besides inconveniences, the functioning of the government hospitals also suffers. In such cases, doctors would now be able to record their evidence from the district of their posting by coming to the videoconferencing room set up in the administrative complex at the time fixed by the court. In case of video-conferencing between the counsel and the accused, the state government has agreed to provide particular time slot in the day. “The counsel shall have the liberty to use the video-conferencing facility from the district courts complex or the district administrative complex,” said Kaushik. “Care will be taken about the confidentiality aspect during video-conferencing between the counsel and the accused,” he added.

Adhere to rules, High Court tells MDU
Chandigarh, March 5 The Division Bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Mahesh Grover issued the directions after the university counsel described the incident as “unfortunate”. Appearing before the Division Bench, senior standing counsel for the university submitted “what has occurred is an unfortunate event”. He told the Bench no harm or prejudice has, however, been caused to the public interest or the interest of education. Elaborating, the counsel said out of the 91 students allowed to take the examination, 90 did not participate and “the only candidate who appeared in the examination had failed”. Taking on record the assertion, the Bench ruled: “In view of the facts stated on behalf of the university, we do not consider it necessary to keep this suo motu action pending any longer.” The Bench added: “Accordingly, we close the same by observing that in future the authorities of the university, under the relevant statute, shall exercise their powers in strict conformity with the provisions of law and in public interest so as to ensure that the cause of education is advanced. The matter stands disposed of.” The high court had earlier taken suo motu notice of the news item “Law Education & Mockery at MDU” published in The Tribune on May 27, 2011.

Patwaris told to submit reports on illegal colonies
Gurgaon, March 5 In a novel move, Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner PC Meena has directed the patwaris to submit the reports to him or the district revenue officer within 15 days. In order to maintain confidentiality, the patwaris have been asked not to put their name on the envelopes containing the reports. Addressing a workshop of the revenue officials here recently, Meena said any upcoming illegal colony could not escape the sight of the patwari concerned and if he made sincere efforts, no illegal colony could be developed in his area. The Deputy Commissioner said at times, the patwaris could not report illegal colonisation and other land-related irregularities in their areas and the move to seek anonymous reports from them was aimed at overcoming this barrier. He said it was because of secret information that the district administration could save government land belonging to the Sohna Municipal Committee and Nainwal village panchayat from going to land-grabbers. He assured that strict action would be taken on the reports of the revenue officials. The workshop was attended by all SDMs, tehsildars, naib tehsildars, kanoongos and patwaris. The illegal colonisation was not merely a concern to be addressed by the government or the administration, but a matter of public interest as the persons who purchased plots in such illegal colonies could lose their hard-earned money. The Deputy Commissioner appealed to the people to take due care before purchasing any immovable property and check all records from the administration before entering into any agreement. He assured the residents of all help and support from the administration. Pointing out that the “girdawri padtaal” (verification of standing crops on the fields) would be done from March 1, the DC directed the revenue officials to get their records rectified if there was any mistake, however longstanding, during the said survey. He also asked the revenue officials to clear the backlog of the pending cases of mutation entries.

Community radio Alfaz-e-Mewat launched
Ghaghas (Mewat), March 5 The community FM radio (frequency 107.8 MHz) will cater to the residents of hundreds of villages located in a radius of 20 km from Ghaghas village in the Nagina block of the district. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Yadav said there was a dire need to address the varied community concerns of the area and he hoped that Alfaz-e-Mewat would serve the purpose. He said the community radio could prove to be a two-way link by making the local residents aware of various welfare schemes of the government and apprising the authorities concerned about the difficulties faced by the people. Yadav added that conservation of water and judicious use of fertilisers and pesticides, etc, was a must in view of the limited availability of water and the ever-increasing environmental pollution. Alfaz-e-Mewat has been set up by the Institute of Rural Research and Development (IRRAD), an initiative of SM Sehgal Foundation, with support from the Union Ministry of Agriculture. The community radio station has been supported under the Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) Scheme of the ministry. IRRAD’s Chief Executive Officer Jane Schukoske said: “The community radio promotes civic participation and a sense of worth in the local community. The broadcasts attract listeners to learn, ask questions and give opinions in local dialect about locally relevant topics and culture. It gives a level playing field for ongoing learning where there are varying levels of literacy”. The signature programme of Alfaz-e-Mewat FM 107.8 will be ‘Tohfa-e-Kudrat: Jal Jangal Zameen’ (water, soil, forests), focusing on agriculture and allied activities as it is the main source of income for 58 per cent of the district’s population. Besides these signature programmes on agriculture and allied activities, the station will create content voicing the numerous development issues that plague rural villages in Mewat. Another mandate of the station is to bridge the existent disconnect between the policy-makers and end beneficiaries and promote local art and culture. The broadcast duration will be six hours a day.

Food and Drug Control drive Bijendra Ahlawat/TNS
Rohtak, March 5 “The department has been able to give a message to the shopkeepers dealing in the sale of drugs and medicines across the state that they ought to be cautious as several drugs could be used as intoxicants by youths. The drive was the need of the hour as the menace of drug peddling had acquired a serious dimension and was required to be dealt with properly,” says state Drug Controller GL Singhal. He said the menace of “Hookah Bars”, which had taken the state like a storm in the past couple of years, had been put under a firm check. On the radar of the department were all such spots selling nicotine powder for consumption. These had been closed down with the help of the district authorities. Singhal said over 100 chemist shops had been raided in the past two months in various districts, including Ambala, Rohtak, Faridabad, Sirsa, Hisar, Fatehabad, Gurgaon and Kurukshetra, and a large number of samples had been taken by the officials. He said while four FIRs had been registered under the NDPS Act, one case had been registered in connection with illegal supply and running a godown of unaccounted drugs. Two shops of the total eight shops that were raided near Medical College at Khanpur Kalan in Sonepat district were sealed recently on the charges of selling physician’s samples and overcharging the customers. More than 35 drug shops had been sealed by the department in the state, he added.

While inaugurating the seminar, Chaudhary identified certain gaps in performance that restrict the development of tourism in the country.

Seminar on new trends in Indian English novel
Fatehabad, March 5 Just as the British literature evolved from the heritage of the Greco-Roman tradition and the environment of its own national history, similarly, the Indian novel evolved from the heritage of the British novel and the environment of the national history from the colonial period of the British Raj to the present phase of globalised market economy. This was the crux of a keynote address delivered by Dr Bhim Singh Dahiya, a former Vice-Chancellor of Kurukshetra University, at a national seminar on “New Trends in the Indian English Novel: A Critical Review” organised at Manohar Memorial Post Graduate College in Fatehabad recently. He said a direct correspondence between the growth of the Indian novel and the developments in its inheritance of the British novel could be established through various phases the two had gone through from the early 19th century to the early 21st century. Anand Parkash, a former professor of English at Hans Raj College, Delhi, said there were two distinct phases in the Indian writing in English. “The first is the socially oriented national phase that emerged in the 19th century and came to its own in the 20th century in the 40s and 50s,” he said. Even as marked by the nationalist interest and social criticism, it became weaker in the succeeding decades till it disappeared in the 70s. “A new combination of ideological preferences constituting what is known as the second phase had struck roots in the years following Independence - the postmodernist-postcolonial paradigm,” he said. While the former has been authored by Bhim Singh Dahiya, the latter is a compilation of papers presented in a seminar held last year and was edited jointly by Dahiya and Resham Sharma, an associate professor of English in MM PG College, Fatehabad. Subhash Sharma, director, and DK Kaushik, principal of MMPG College, were also present on the occasion. Tejinder Kaur, director of the Department of Distance Education, Punjabi University, Patiala, Jai Singh, an assistant professor from the University of English and Foreign Languages, SL Paul, a former professor from Kurukshetra University, Ujjwal Sharma, principal, Hindu Girls College, Jagadhri, Anupama Vohra, Sucheta Pathania and Monica Sethi, from University of Jammu, Deepti Dharmani from Chaudhary Devi Lal University, Ram Niwas from Kurukshetra University and Anup Beniwal from Guru Gobind Singh IP University, Delhi, read their papers as resource persons in the seminar. The delegates who presented their papers included Umed Singh and Punam Miglani (Sirsa), Poonam (Bhiwani), Rinku Agarwal (Bhiwani), Kavita Sharma (Charkhi Dadri), Nitika Rani (Hisar), Sanjiv (Mohindergarh), Santosh K Pandey (NDA), Sumitra Ashri (Panchkula), Nitu Jain and Seema Mehta (Fatehabad), Geeta Gupta (Jind), HS Arora (Bathinda), Meenakshi Dalal (Meham), KA Qazi (Kashmir), Dipika Rani (Hisar), Rupinder Kaur and Jaspreet Kaur (Dehradun), Manjeet (Bhiwani), Satdev Verma (Ladwa), Loveleen (Rohtak), Meet and Naresh Sachdeva (Bhodia Khera) Pratibha Mukhija (Fatehabad), Rajinder Singh (Jind), Shikha Arora and Sunita Mehta (Sirsa), Mahinder Kumar (Fatehabad), Vivek Bharti (Hisar), Suruchi Kalra Chaudhary (Jagadhri), Deepika Gupta (Bathinda), Shammi Nagpal (Hisar), Tripta Mehta (Fatehabad) and Kulbhushan Sharma (Mandi).
