FLOOD THREAT
Fatehabad, April 11 The Fatehabad Deputy Commissioner, Dr Saket Kumar, who visited the flood-prone areas of the district to review preparedness of the authorities, said Rs 16.68 crore would be spent on increasing the capacity of Rangoi Nullah. “We have already received administrative approval for the project and work on it will begin soon,” the Deputy Commissioner told The Tribune. He said the repair of all ring bandhs in the district would be completed this month. Rangoi Nullah originates from the Ghaggar near Jakhal in Fatehabad and then merges back into the river near Kanwalgarh, upstream of Ratia in the district. Floods from Rangoi Nullah and Ghaggar have been inundating large areas in Fatehabad during the monsoon season. Standing crops on nearly 25,000 hectares of land in Fatehabad had been submerged under water due to floods in 2010. Earlier, floods had damaged crops and inundated villages in 1992 and 1996 in the recent past. Though Rangoi Nullah has a capacity of 7,000 cusecs, it ran up to 11,500 cusecs when it was in spate in 2010. After the 2010 floods, the authorities had announced a proposal to increase its capacity to 15,000 cusecs. However, the proposal was fraught with a risk that pouring 15,000 cusecs of water back into Ghaggar near Kanwalgarh could have raised threats of flood in Ratia and surrounding areas.

Social worker on a mission against water scarcity
Faridabad, April 11 The initiative comes in the form of a project to generate non-potable water from sewage of the city. The water, produced after treating sewage, can be used among others, for industrial consumption, irrigation, construction and fishery. It could also be used for filling of ponds in villages, and lakes at Surajkund and Badkhal, which are tourist spots. It will go a long way in recharging the fast depleting underground water table in Faridabad. Sharma has set up a water management plant as a pilot project at one of the sewer disposal points of the local Municipal Corporation in Sector 21 where a part of the city’s sewage is drained in Gurgaon and Agra canals. Sharma, who has set up the project without charging for his efforts from the government, said his technique needs to be operationalised on a large scale to reduce pressure on water sources in Faridabad. He thanked the local Municipal Corporation
for encouraging him for the project. Dr Parvez Malhotra, who is also working on the project, said the water generated from sewage at the plant had been able to meet the specifications of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for non-potable consumption. “The water has been able to meet the critical BOD and PH levels,” he added. Babu Ram, a local resident, said Gyan Prakash Sharma had shown the way and the civic authorities should implement the project on a bigger scale to take care of water, especially for non-potable usages. Faridabad is considered to be Haryana’s biggest urban agglomeration. The entire demand of water of the area is met from groundwater, the level of which has fallen alarmingly over the past few years.

Rohtak girl gets 22nd rank in IFS exam
Rohtak, April 11 After having failed to clear the exam in two chances, she cleared the same in the third attempt, despite the fact that she had done her BTech in Computers and had no or little knowledge of the subjects taken by her in the IFS exam, said her father Satbir Singh Kadian, who is posted as the General Manager, Haryana Forest Corporation, Rohtak. “She opted for this exam after getting inspiration from my job as she wanted to turn her dream into a reality,” he added. Anamika, however, claimed that there were certain factors, including the fast depletion of the green cover in Haryana, which had motivated her to take up this challenge and she spent almost six years to realise this dream. She passed out her BTech from JMIT College in Radaur town of Yamunanagar in 2007. “My family, especially my mother, supported me in my decision after which I started preparing for the Indian Forest Services examination. But since, it was a new stream for me, I failed in my two attempts in 2007 and 2008,” she said. “Afterwards, I started preparations on my own at home and decided to apply when I was fully confident of clearing the examination,” said Anamika. Her mother, Anita Devi, a housewife, said: “even as other family members wanted Anamika to get married, but I supported her in the decision”.

More skill development centres for youth
Sirsa, April 11 As many as six Kushalta Vikas Kendras have already been set up at Odhan, Kharia, Rori, Dabwali and Sirsa.

Graduates told to keep pace with fast-changing world
Sonepat, April 11 He said convocation could be a sort of culminating ceremony for a certain phase of a formal study, but it was not the culmination of learning as the people continue to learn and increase their skill throughout life. He quoted Gandhi Ji’s sentiments in the expression, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever”. Exhorting the graduates to keep the pace with the fast changing world, Dr Singh said, “If we don’t change or adapt ourselves accordingly, we run the risk of being obsolete and outdated in our ideas, vision and practice”.

Chairman and CEO of the SSGI Dr MK Sehgal in his presidential address said it was impossible to imagine creation of anything in this world without the involvement of civil engineering. “Be it building, roads, bridges or Metro rail, the involvement and creativity of civil engineering is note worthy,” he said. He also touched upon different civil engineering fields like environment, structure, geophysical, soil and survey. Dr VK Arora explained in detail the application of gesynthetics in civil engineering.
