Three villages get 24-hr power supply under new scheme
Hisar, May 13 Chirod and Singhran villages of Nalwa Assembly segment represented by former power and finance minister Sampat Singh had opted for the scheme and all households in the villages are now getting 24-hour power supply instead of 11 hours a day earlier. Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda had inaugurated the scheme on April 6. Another village of the constituency, Chuli Bagrian, was covered under the scheme on Monday last. “Over 200 panchayats all over the state had already asked the Power Distribution Companies (Discoms) to implement the scheme in their villages. Ten more villages of Nalwa assembly constituency and 60 villages of Hisar will soon be covered under this scheme,” Sampat Singh said while addressing mediapersons at Hisar today. He said to be eligible for the scheme, the bill recovery rate in the village should be 90 per cent and the village should also collectively bring down the aggregate technical and commercial losses to less than 25 per cent. The former minister said it had been found that the transmission and distribution losses at Chirod village had come down in a month to 10 per cent from 40 per cent prior to implementation of the scheme. Both Singhran and Chirod had been supplied 1,75,200 units during April, 2012. However, after the scheme was introduced last month, the two villages were supplied 1,64,635 units despite an increase in hours of supply to more than double. This indicated that the theft of power had ceased in these villages. He said the implementation of the scheme had cost the power utilities Rs 40 lakh which they hoped to recover by March next year. After that the discoms would be earning revenue from the villages. Interestingly, the number of power connections at Chirod and Singhran had gone up by 25 and 35 per cent, respectively as kundi connections had been eliminated completely. There had been no tripping or breakdown in supply during the first month.

CYBER CRIME
Gurgaon, May 13 Though it is the usual cyber bullying and hacking which remain the most rampant crimes, it is the decrease in the average age of victims and the accused, advent of confession pages and an alarming growth rate which has left the police startled. In addition to opening two dedicated cyber crime investigation cells, the police has now started a unique initiative of ‘catching them young’ as a majority of the accused and victims are below 25 years of age. The police along with a non-profit organisation, "Safe Surfing", has been visiting all city schools creating cyber awareness and deterring children from falling a prey to cyber crime. The move is justified even by the National Crime Records Bureau according to which 1,791 cases were registered in 2011 as compared to 966 in 2010. Shockingly, out of a total of 1,630 people arrested for committing cyber crimes, 41 were below 18 while 883 were in the age group of 18-30 years. Officials say it is the revelation made by the students which has left them shocked at the gravity of the situation. “The situation is grave and shocking. We have young children making friends with one and all, divulging personal details and sharing pictures and in many cases ending up being physically, emotionally and mentally harassed. In a majority of cases, where the youth are involved, both the accused and the victim are clueless about cyber rights and the gravity of their violation. We are really concerned
about the increased misuse of cyber space and have launched this campaign of reaching out to all students and parents,” said Police Commissioner Alok Mittal. “A Class X student revealed how she had been having sleepless nights because an anonymous user had updated her school’s confession page saying she was physically involved with a classmate. Similarly many girls are perturbed over their Facebook photographs being misused to create fake profiles. The children are completely unaware of security settings or smart phone settings. The parents are least bothered and this is the reason that today we have social-media inspired molestations, suicide cases and abductions,” added resource person Rakshit
Tandon.

Sugar mill gets ISO certifications for quality management
Jhajjar, May 13 Veer Singh, Managing Director (MD) of the mill, said the mill had been awarded three ISO certifications for quality management system, environment management system and occupational health and safety management system. He claimed that this was for the first time when any sugar mill in the north India had got three ISO certifications together. The MD said a team of officials from Vexil Business Process Service carried out an inspection of the sugar mill complex minutely to evaluate quality, environment and occupational health and safety management system. “On the basis of this evaluation report, the sugar mill, whose new complex was inaugurated in 2009, has been awarded three ISO certifications for better management. The mill has crushed more than 33 lakh quintals of sugarcane, besides exporting electricity worth Rs 26 crore to the state grid,” Veer Singh said. He said with the installation of technical features like rope coupling, planetary year box, VFD, DC drive, etc, the new mill complex consumed low power in comparison to the old ones. The old mill used to crush merely 17,500 quintals of sugarcane against 5 MW power per hour while the newer complex was crushing 37,000 quintals with the same power capacity, he added. Keeping in view the significant performance by the sugar mill, the National Federation of Sugar Mills, New Delhi, the apex body of the Cooperative Sugar Mills, has also awarded it a Certificate of Excellence. The performance parameters of the mill had been improving with the passage of time as novel technology was being used here for sugar production, the MD added.

Thermal power plants register dismal performance
Yamunanagar/Ambala, May 13 The report by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) shows that all the three thermal plants of the HPGCL in the state have failed to meet their target. The maximum shortfall was registered at the Yamunanagar thermal plant. The 600-MW plant was supposed to produce 3,961 million units (MU) whereas it could only produce 962 million units, missing the target by 2,999 MU. The 1200-MW Khedar (Hissar) thermal plant missed the target of 7,041 MU by 2,078 MU, while the 1,360-MW plant at Panipat missed the target of 9,700 MU by 764 MU. The fall in power generation at the Yamunanagar plant was due to forced outage of units which remained out of order for a major part of the year, while the generation at the Khedar plant suffered due to repeated boiler tube leakages and turbine bearing problems. Meanwhile, the country generated 911.65 billion units (BU) in 2012-13 as compared to 876.89 BU last year, showing a growth rate of 3.96 per cent. During the same period, thermal power generation was 760.37 BU compared to 708.81 BU last year, growing at 7.27 per cent.

Protests becoming way of life in Karnal
Karnal, May 13 Whether it is registration of cases pertaining to rape, crime women against, atrocities on Dalits, closing or shifting of liquor vends or arresting culprits, the authorities “wait for situation to simmer” in most of the cases. Even for pressing the genuine demands and issues concerning public like better health and education facilities, roads, regular drinking water and power supply, people have no option but to lodge protests. Social organisations expressing anger against rise in crime and other socially relevant issues, ex-servicemen incensed over killing of soldiers, employees organisation and even political parties consider protests as the only way to make their voices heard. Since January 2013, farmers were up in arms against the recovery of 20 per cent cost of stolen transformers followed by demand for higher minimum support price for sugarcane and wheat with an increase in bonus for wheat. Dalit anger against atrocities perpetuated on them at Pabnawa village in Kaithal exploded with the Chamar Mahasabha, Haryana, openly coming out in their support and holding a protest march. A case was registered against UHBVN officials only after the family members and villagers blocked the National Highway-1 and placed the body of the deceased there. The failure of the police to trace the culprit in the murder of an elderly couple in Jambha village in Karnal district even after a year resulted in protests by the villagers. Army Foundation Day was marked by protests by ex-servicemen who were enraged over the brutal killing of two Indian soldiers and chopping off the head of the third by the Pakistan forces. Silent protest by the Haryana Hotel Association by wearing black badges was held against the decision of the Union Government to impose five per cent additional tax on air conditioned hotels and restaurants. Lawyers also expressed solidarity against the lathicharge on Chandigarh lawyers. Political parties, including the INLD, BJP, HJC and the Aam Aadmi Party, burnt effigies of the Chief Minister on several occasions to register protest against spurt in rape cases, inadequate crop compensation to farmers, steep hike of 13 per cent in power tariff , increase in road tax and killing of Indian soldiers and Sarabjit Singh.

TMC forms special cell to help rape survivors
Bahadurgarh, May 13 Satish Tyagi, political secretary to Dr KD Singh, said this while interacting with mediapersons here today. The cell while working round-the-clock would adopt rape victims to provide them adequate monetary aid for their schooling. Moreover, it would also bear their wedding expenses, besides providing houses to their families, he said. “The move aims at remaining such victims connected to society as it is usually seen that people keep themselves away from them after such incidents instead of lending them a helping hand to bring them out from the trauma,” Tyagi said. He maintained that the cell would also provide them legal aid free of cost, besides ensuring safety and security to the victims and their family members. “We have launched a helpline No. 09560133232 for getting information about rape victims. One can inform the cell about such incidents by making a call at any time. Executives of the cell, after getting the call, would not only contact the victims and their kin but also provide them every possible help without delay,” said the TMC leader. Tyagi maintained that it was perhaps for the first time when a political party had took such a step. The TMC had shown the way to other political parties by taking this initiative for a social cause. He added that the cell had already adopted two rape survivors and was sincerely working for their
betterment.

He said after bidding adieu to the INLD, he joined the Congress and extended support to Capt Ajay Singh Yadav in his much-hyped development mission in the region but Capt Yadav's style of functioning belied his expectations, which forced him to part company with Capt Yadav and to quit the Congress.
