Marked absent: Desks in govt schools as authorities sleep
Rohtak, January 7 A majority of the over 400 schools in the district were still awaiting a desk for each of the student, the latter appear to be at the receiving end as many of them were still forced to sit of floor, even in the winter season. While the winter break in majority of the private schools had already begun, the government schools would have this break from January 7.
There is no desk in our classroom and we have to squat on floor during the classes daily and to counter the coldness, our teachers take the help of bonfire in the mid of the day, claimed Sonia a student of government middle school, located on the old Jail road here. We are normally expected to bring something along with, to use as seat on the floor as it is very cold these days, said another student of the school. The situation in the government school near Sukhpura locality here is a lettle as there are around 80 desks against the student strength of around 215 in the primary section of the school. The problem of shortage of desks in the school is as old as the government school education system and despite spending crores on this sector, the state government has not been able to bring the government schools at par with private schools, said a retired official of the department. There were a large number of schools where the students studying in sixth to 10th standards of government schools and not having desks so far, claimed the sources in the department. Over 500 students of a school located near the police lines and which was upgraded last year, was still to get desks for its students, said an employee of the department. He admitted that there were many schools in the district which were also faced with shortage of rooms for the past several years. There were only two rooms in the government primary school at Hanuman colony, where the strength of students was around 400. This makes the students to either sit in open or in verandahs of the rooms, claimed the sources. While no official of the education department including the DEO was available for version in this regard, the delay in winter break had also resulted in resentment among both the parents and the students of the government schools.

Parmod Singh of village Sabka, whose five-year-old son Pulkit had been killed, said that though magisterial enquiry had been ordered, but the outcome of the same has not been made public till date. He said villagers had demanded that the school be closed forever, but the district administration had sided with the owners of school. Vikram Singh, Chairman of the Arjun Public School management said that it was an accident and the school management was also feeling distressed.

The project was estimated to cost Rs 88 crore. An area of 10.25 acres had already been acquired for this project of 25 Million Litre Daily (MLD) capacity. After completion of its boundary lines and 14-km long sewer pipelines, construction of seven disposals and rising sewers are proposed in the project. Talking to The Tribune, superintendent engineer of the department OP Goyal said that the project was aimed to give relief to the residents in the town and after completion of this project within two years, there would not be any sewer-related issues for the next 30 years. He said the western part of the town was situated in a low-lying area hence colonies in the area used to face issues in draining out the sewer water and sewer jams. The construction works at different sites had been completed and the works costing around Rs 15 crore had already been allotted to contractors, he said, adding that the department was well aware that this project was a priority for the government. “We are using the trench-less technique, which involves an expenditure of Rs 4.90 crore, for laying pipelines in the narrow lanes of colonies because the JCB cannot be used in such areas,” he said.

BTech students invent water-petrol fuel
Ambala, January 7 Displaying the hybrid car, the students claimed that it was a ready to use technology as the car owners could make the best of it by installing an upgrade for the cost of Rs 30,000 to 40,000, which would enable them to run their cars on a mixture of petrol and water. The equipment would be using the two in a ratio of 50:50. Talking to mediapersons on Saturday at Lucky Farm, Mithapur, Ankit Thakur, Amit Jindal, Jaspal Singh, Pankaj and Shashank Sharma said the system used HHO, which was popularly known as ‘brown gas’ and was prepared from water with a process called electrolysis.

Cong has failed to protect Dalits' interest: Chautala
Ravinder Saini
Jhajjar, January 7 Chautala was addressing a gathering during a state-level Dalit Mahasammelan held at a farm house located on the Delhi-Rohtak road in Bahadurgarh town here on Sunday. The INLD supremo said not even dalits, all sections of society were also infuriated and dissatisfied with the Congress government which was implementing "anti-people" policies just to please corporate houses for fulfilling its vested interest. “The people are entirely fed up with the Congress government across the state and eagerly waiting for coming the Parliament and Assembly elections to teach its leaders a befitting lesson by exercising their franchise against them,” said Chautala, claiming that all top leaders of the Congress would have to face defeat in the next Assembly elections as their real character had been exposed among the masses. Describing the INLD as "well-wishers" of the dalits in the real sense, former Chief Minister said his father, late Ch Devi Lal, strived hard through out his life for the upliftment and betterment of the scheduled castes at state as well national level. “Ch Devi Lal was the only leader who not only embarked upon several policies for the welfare and benefit of dalits during his governments but also made sincere efforts to secure their interests and rights,” said Chautala, adding that he was also working for dalits by treading the path shown by late Ch Devi Lal. Exhorting the dalit leaders present in the sammelan to mobilise the entire community to root out the Congress from power, he said interests of the dalits were not safe and secure in the Congress, which had pushed the poor people, farmers and labourers on the path of devastation through rising inflation and crimes besides spreading corruption. A dalit leader, Azad Singh Toor, also announced to join the INLD with his supporters during the sammelan while former minister Kanta Devi, Ch Balbir Singh and former MLA Nafe Singh Rathi were also among those prominent leaders who spoke on the occasion.

Hisar, January 7 This is precisely what came out of a 'Mahila Suraksha Samkalp Diwas' organised by the Hisar police here. The programme was organised in view of the present social scenario where people are simmering after the Delhi gang-rape and demanding concrete steps to end sexual violence against women. Commissioner, Hisar Division, Neelam Pradeep Kasni, the IG, Hisar, Arshinder Singh Chawla, the DC, Amit Agarwal and the SP, B Satheesh Balan were among those who addressed the function. "Both men and women are equal creations of the nature. But due to a gender discrimination allowed to creep into society women are vulnerable," said Kasni in her address. Urging people to provide good education to their daughters for their empowerment, she said that undereducated women were more prone to the ill-designs of perpetrators of crimes against women. Chawla said that the society has both good and bad people in it and it was the duty of the saner people to try and change the mindset of those who possessed an evil mindset. The DC, Amit Agarwal, said that the Delhi gang-rape had brought the whole country together for getting justice to the victim. He said while the authorities and the police would do its best to ensure safety of women, it was time for all to introspect and work on some changes at the social level, so that women could feel secure in society. The SP, B Satheesh Balan, said that various surveys had proved that a shift in the mindset of the society and improving social milieu was more important for curbing crimes against women than anything else.

Homage paid to Delhi rape vicitim
Kurukshetra, January 7 Addressing the meeting, Dr Gaur said that the Congress party has been ruling for the last 55 years but the element of governance was losing its grip and Congress leaders had become grossly insensitive toward the problems of the common man and woman.
