Criminals cock a snook at Hisar police
Hisar, August 29 In protest against the deteriorating law and order situation, the traders' community in Hansi town had given a bandh call for Thursday, alleging the failure of the police in arresting the accused involved in crime and also in curbing the rising incidence
of crime. Various traders' bodies have united on the issue as the Sarv Vyapar Mandal, the traders' body which gave the call to observe the one-day bandh in Hansi, has got support from various shopkeepers' associations and the opposition political parties in the town. Alleging complete failure of the police, the president of the Sarv Vyapar Mandal, Bajrang Dass Bansal, said the bandh would be unprecedented as people were extremely concerned about the rising crime situation. "It seems that the criminals have no fear of law and the law-enforcing agencies have been rendered helpless. It exposes the inefficiency and a slack attitude of the police," he stated. Bansal said it was shocking that out of about a dozen cases of loot, attack and extortion bids, around 60 theft cases, the police had not been able to crack even a single case. "We have started a dharna in protest against the dacoity in the Model Town house about three months back by seven or eight armed gangsters. The SP had assured us that the accused would be behind bars soon. But the case remains unsolved even now,"
he stated. Similarly, a string of chain-snatching incidents in Hisar and Hansi has shattered the faith of the people in the police, as women are nowhere safe in the towns. Even yesterday evening, two youths snatched the earrings of a woman in Krishna Nagar Colony in Hansi when she was walking to home
from market. The Hisar SSP, B Satish Balan while admitting that the police had not been able to crack any of these cases stated that he had deployed additional force in Hansi town. "A DSP-led team has been trying to solve and identify incidents of attacks on traders. There seems to be an inter-district gang of chain snatchers active as similar incidents have also occurred in Bhiwani. We are also trying to identify and arrest members of this gang," he told The Tribune.

A case under the Arms Act and different sections of IPC was registered against them in Gannaur police station. The DSP said the team led by Sub Inspector Savit Kumar was on patrolling on GT road near Gannaur to nab the anti-social elements when it received information that some of the armed youths were planning to loot Balaji petrol pump on GT road. The team raided the spot and arrested the gangsters. The gangsters were later produced in the court and were remanded in the police custody for their suspected involvement in other criminal cases.

Rohtak lacks efficient public transport system
Rohtak, August 29 It is learnt that of the 12,000-odd auto-rickshaws plying in the town known as the Chief Minister's hometown, only 4,800 such vehicles were registered while the rest of the three-wheelers had been running without any legal or authorised documents. This fact got revealed at a meeting of the district administration recently, which was convened to discuss the Comprehensive Mobility Plan
(CMP) of the city by 2031. The authorities, which debated over the current and future problems regarding the traffic movement in the town, asked the company hired to conduct a survey in this regard and to submit its detailed report within four months. It is reported that the ground work and the survey conducted so far has revealed that the rising number of private vehicles, encroachments on the sides of roads, a weak traffic-control system, no parking lots near congested spots, no development of an efficient public transport system and lack of proper planning regarding flyovers and no move to curb the movement of unauthorised vehicles, including the auto-rickshaws and other forms of transport, had resulted in various problems contributing to make the mobility plan a mess. The meeting was attended by officials from the Municipal Corporation,
HUDA, HSIDC , Roadways, Railways, PWD and the Police. They were directed to provide the required data and support in preparation of the detailed report so that work on the CMP could be started on time. "Though it was admitted that around two-thirds of auto-rickshaws had been plying without registration, no strategy could be finalised to deal with the number of such vehicles in the city at present," said sources in the district administration. "We have been carrying out a regular check of the vehicles and those found without papers have been challaned on a regular basis,’’said a spokesperson of the Police Department. "Hundreds of challans had been issued in the past few weeks," he added. While the number of "outdated" and "polluting" auto rickshaws was rising continuously, the administration has failed to strengthen the local bus service of Haryana Roadways,’’ said
Vikas, a resident of Model Town here. Alleging that there was no system in place to check the pollution level in the city, he claimed that 90 per cent of such vehicles were spreading pollution. He demanded impounding of all unauthorised auto-rickshaws.

Cong will win all Lok Sabha seats: AICC secy
Kaithal, August 29 She said she was impressed with the enthusiasm of the workers and was sure that the Congress would win all 10 Lok Sabha seats and get majority in the elections. HPCC president Phool Chand Mullana presided over the meeting. PWD Minister Randeep Singh Surjewala MP Naveen Jindal and Birjender Mann, son of former DCC president Tejinder Pal Mann, were among those who addressed the meeting. It began with paying tributes to Tejinder Pal Mann. Asha Kumari said the state had seen unprecedented development that would pave the way for Congress victory in the state. She also appreciated the efforts made by Surjewala and Jindal in ensuring fast development in the area and for keeping a good liaison with the party workers. In his address, Mullana said the state Congress government had not played any role in the arrests of Om Prakash Chautala and his son, rather their alleged involvement in the JBT Teachers’ recruitment scam paved the way for their arrest by the CBI. He said it was not true that the development in state had taken place in only a few areas. The entire state had seen unprecedented development under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Surjewala highlighted development that took place in this area and said the Congress had strong roots and there were no differences among its leaders and workers and they had been working together to further strengthen the party. Jindal said the UPA government had launched the food security scheme in the country and as many as 1.26 crore persons would benefit from the scheme in the state. He asked party workers to create awareness among people about the scheme. Dillu Ram, a former CPS, and Tejvir Singh, ex-MLA were among those others who spoke.

Sirsa abuzz with political activity as Congress plans rally on September 29
Sirsa, August 29 Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, AICC general secretary in charge for Haryana Shakeel Ahmed and co-in charge Asha Kumari will address the rally. Hooda will also lay foundation stone of the Ratta Khera Kharif Channel, a new canal for irrigation of agriculture fields of over 18 villages through flood water from the Ghaggar on that day. The last time the Congress organised a rally at Sirsa was at Rania on March 25, 2012, and that too was organised by Ranjit Singh. Between these two, though Hooda addressed a Congress workers’ meeting at Sirsa on July 14 this year, it cannot be termed as a public meeting. Several factors have contributed to lack of political activities in Sirsa in the past some months. Out of the five Assembly segments in Sirsa, three are represented by the INLD, one by the SAD (Badal), an ally of the INLD, and the Sirsa Assembly seat is represented by Independent Gopal Kanda. Hence, ever since Kanda has been arrested in connection with the Geetika Sharma suicide case, major political activities from the Congress side had almost come to a standstill. After INLD supremo Om Prakash Chautala and his son Ajay Singh Chautala’s conviction in the JBT teachers’ case, the INLD too, has not been able to hold any major political activities in Sirsa. Though the Haryana Janhit Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party recently organised a public meeting at Chopta, Sirsa predominantly has been witnessing political battles between the Congress and the INLD. Other political
parties have not been able to do much in the district in the past. In the backdrop of all this, Ranjit’s proposed September 29 rally has assumed importance. Jagdish Nehra, a senior Congress leader owing allegiance to Union Minister Kumari Selja, has been staking his claim to the Congress ticket from Rania. While addressing a rally at Rania on March 25, 2012, Hooda had announced in no uncertain terms that Ranjit will be his candidate for the 2014 Assembly poll. With Nehra still adopting dissident postures, political observers will watch with interest what Hooda speaks in this rally. Over the years, Ranjit, younger brother of Om Prakash Chautala, has more than once proved his prowess to organise successful rallies and political observers are looking forward to see whether he will be able to live up to his reputation on September 29. Working relentlessly for mobilising support for the proposed rally, Ranjit claimed this will be the biggest rally in Sirsa.

No lopsided development in state, says OSD to Hooda
Sirsa, August 29 Dr KV Singh, who was interacting with mediapersons here yesterday, said that allegations of lopsided development against the present government were politically motivated. Coming down on his cousin and former Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala’ s Indian National Lok
Dal, Dr KV Singh alleged that the INLD supremo did not care for development in
Sirsa, though it was his home district. “Against a sum of Rs 769.27 crore spent by the Chautala government during its six years in power, Hooda government has already spent Rs 3,896.13 crore in
Sirsa,” he said. The OSD (Media) alleged that the Chautala government spent Rs 16 crore for the university named after Chaudhary Devi Lal while the Hooda government had already spent a sum of Rs 133 crore on it. Dr KV Singh, who contested his previous Assembly election from the Dabwali Assembly segment, said the government had approved a railway overbridge (RoB) for the town for Rs 60 crore. He said tenders for the RoB would be opened on September 12 and the foundation stone of the project would be laid on November this year. Dr KV Singh said by the government’s efforts to improve the power situation in Haryana, people across the state were able to get more electricity these days. The OSD distributed a booklet, “Haryana Always Ahead - 101 Highlights”, and said that Haryana had become number one in as many as 101 aspects.

Cut in budget allocations for ancient sites worries conservators
Yamaunanagar, August 29 As per the records, the Haryana Government allocated up to Rs 27 lakh each year for the maintenance of the ancient structures till 1991, gradually reduced the grant to Rs 1.81 lakh in the last budget, making it difficult for the conservators to preserve these sites. The information gathered under the RTI by a Yamunanagar based NGO, the Buddhist Forum, also revealed that the Haryana State Archeological Department, which had three sites under their jurisdiction, including the ancient Buddhist sites at Sugh, Chaneti in Yamunanagar district and one in Kurukshetra, had Rs 7.59 lakh on the renovation of the Chaneti stupa in Yamaunanagar from December 2005 to March 2010. However, not much had been done for the maintenance of the sites at Sugh in Yamaunanagar district, which is one of important sites in the region. The department only spent Rs 2.63 lakh to revamp the Stupa in Kurukshetra. Beside, a number of mounds of historical importance in Aharwan, Bhadas, Ameen, Sandhya and Mewat have not been included in the list of the protected monuments by the department, making it altogether more difficult for these sites to survive the vagaries of nature. President of the forum Sidharth Gauri, said the neighbouring countries which includes Nepal, Bhutan and even Afghanistan, were actively considering the preservation and maintenance of ancient sites, but in the country where Buddhism came into being, these sites were fast becoming victims of government policies.

VC, US journalist release book on Indian foreign policy
Kurukshetra, August 29 The keynote speaker on the occasion was Donald Kirk, famous author, journalist and a Fulbright Scholar from Washington DC, while KU Vice-Chancellor Lt Gen (retd) DDS Sandhu presided over the lecture. In his presidential address, Dr Sandhu said the recently emerging strategic circumstances in Asia, in particular the Middle East, were a cause of worry for the world. Therefore, it is the need of the hour that America should concentrate on the region in a positive manner. Discussing international relations and foreign policy of America, keynote speaker Donald Kirk drew a sketch of relations between America and Asian nations i.e. South Korea, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. Addressing students of the university, he asserted that America was a strong exponent of democracy and democratic countries; hence America was cautious about the recent developments in the Asian region. Quoting the concept of ‘Axis of evils’ given by former President of USA, George Bush, he stated that America considered North Korea, China, Pakistan and Iran on the equilibrium in the context of Nuclear and Missile Technology proliferation and India enjoyed the reputation of a sincere and responsible nation in the whole world. In the wake of a rapidly changing political and strategic environment of the world, India's role in world affairs will be more important and thus America recognises the importance of India day by day, he further added. The guest of honour, Prof Chintamani Mahapatra, Senior faculty of Jawahar Lal Nehru University, said the geo-political condition, the vast economic resources and a young population make India more important for the world. KU Vice-Chancellor Sandhu and Kirk released a book, "Indian Foreign Policy" written by Prof Rajbir Singh Yadav, Chairman of the Political Science Department.

GJU teachers stage dharna over 'violation of rules' by varsity
Hisar, August 29 GJUTA slammed the university administration for its "partial" and "biased" attitude and non-implementation of rules and regulations on the issues of appointment of deans and heads of departments. Further, the teachers said that eligible persons should be given charge of Director, Sports, and Libertarian from within the department, because when there are eligible persons to hold the charge of a head in the department itself, then why impose heads from other departments who know little about the field. The university has many technical engineering courses being run under a self-financing scheme. Since these departments are running successfully and contributing handsomely to the growth of the university, therefore these courses should
be converted into regular courses. GJUTA is for immediate redress of long-pending demands like increments for MTech/MPharm/ MPT and PHD scholars from the date of implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission.

Industries urge HUDA to relax rules
Faridabad, August 29 The industries have raised the issue before the authorities on several occasions in the past, but in vain. A delegation of the Faridabad Industries Association
(FIA) has raised the mater afresh with the new Faridabad Administrator of HUDA, S
Dahiya. Although, the industry has pitched in for softening of the rules in the district, its grievances were related to the well developed industrial sectors 4, 6, 24 and 25, which have about 800 plots, on which the factory units operate. The sector has peculiar administrative
status. HUDA floated the sectors four decades back. Subsequently, the onus of their maintenance was transferred to the Municipal Corporation Faridabad
(MCF). However, sometimes the administrative issues relating to them do become a matter of dispute between the two agencies. Industrialists allege that HUDA lacks consistency with regards its policy on the issue of sale and transfer of ownerships of the plots. Its officials throw spanner on flimsy grounds. The industry’s complains that HUDA spikes the transfers of ownership, even though the owners are willing to give an undertaking of being liable for all the dues to the government on assumption of the ownership of the plots. An industrialist said “HUDA’s negative stand is inexplicable and was aimed to enforce regimen on the industry during the age
of liberalisation.” Ironically, HUDA had allowed transfer of ownerships of plots in the sectors, a couple of years back. It had also constituted a committee with two representatives from industry with regard the issue. However, the committee was no more
functional. The industrialists had also raised the issue with Haryana Chief Secretary PK Chaudhery during their meeting with him here last October. However, the issue still
hangs fire. A government officer said the government was seized of the matter.

Info under RTI lays bare violation of ban on property registration
Ambala, August 29 The information which was provided by the district administration after Sanjha
Morcha, a non-political organisation, sought info under the RTI Act weather any land deals had been registered in Ambala City and Cantonment, where a ban is in force against registering any land deals in
unapproved colonies. The info revealed that revenue officials had gone ahead with registering as many as 10 land deals. Kamal Kisor Jain, representative of the
morcha, said the state government had banned registration of any land deal in the unapproved colonies, but the info under the RTi revealed that around 10 land sale documents had been been registered in
sub-tehshil, Ambala Cantonment, recently. He alleged that the staff of the Revenue Department was also working in connivance with the local commission agent and property dealers and had illegal registered sale deals of properties in unapproved colonies for vested interests. He said all the documents used to register these land deals were fake.
Onkar Nath Paruthi, former member of Municipal Committee Ambala Sadar, said the morcha had brought the matter to the notice of the Deputy
Commissione, Ambala, who had assured them of a through probe into the alleged irregularities. However, no action was taken till date.
Paruthi said the malpractice of registering land deals of property in unapproved colonies had caused huge loss of revenue to the state government. He said, the Sanjha Morcha was contemplating to launch a massive protest against the
sub-tehsil office as well as the district administration from next week in case no action
was taken. Meanwhile, district revenue officer (DRO) Satish Bhrdawaj said the matter was in the notice of the department and he had already conducted a probe and submitted a detailed report to the Deputy
Commissioner.

Kurukshetra, August 29 Jha said a100-bedded sports hostel would be constructed at the academy. He directed the officers concerned to submit the plan for the construction of a 100 instead of 60-bedded sports hostel so that it could be built at the earliest possible.
