FOOD SECURITY BILL
Karnal, September 16 Padma Bhushan awardee Dr Singh, who was chief guest at the foundation day of the Directorate of Wheat Research (DWR), Karnal, said that "at present we are producing 255 million tonnes of foodgrains every year and at the same time losing 4 per cent of our GDP on combating the effect of malnutrition among the masses
but still 40 per cent of our children are undernourished and suffering from malnutrition." In such a scenario, it was imperative to add comprehensive nutritional value to food to ensure that no individual was undernourished and the objective of
the Food Security Bill was achieved. Referring to a question relating to large-scale suicides by farmers under debt in various parts of the country, he said raising the income of farmers was essential for which increase in production, productivity and crop yields was required. Besides, announcement of minimum support Price (MSP) at the right time, price mixing and advancing interest-free loans to farmers like in Maharashtra can help the farmers to get remunerative returns and save them from falling into a debt trap,
he observed.

Bypoll for Sirsa municipal council ward today
Sirsa, September 16 All major political parties -- the Congress, the INLD and the HJC-BJP alliance -- have fielded their candidates, though not on party symbols. The election has been necessitated due to the resignation of the INLD councillor, Namita Kamboj, after she got government job of a school lecturer in Political Science. In this byelection, the INLD has fielded Namita’s mother-in-law Jinda Bai as its candidate, who is contesting on the symbol of umbrella. The Congress, which seemed faction-ridden in Sirsa in the past, has been able to cobble together its different groups together for this bypoll. When Sirsa MP Ashok Tanwar inaugurated the election office of Congress-supported candidate Suchet Kaur Brar today, party leaders Hoshiari Lal Sharma, Malkiat Singh Khosa, Bhupesh Mehta, Naveen Kedia and Shilpa Verma, district president of the Mahila Congress were present. Brar’s publicity material shows the photographs of former minister Gopal Kanda besides Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Phool Chand Mullana and Ashok Tanwar. Suchet Kaur Brar is contesting the poll on the symbol of car. The BJP-HJC alliance has fielded Rajbir Kaur Brar who is contesting the poll on symbol of train engine while Sangita Sachdeva, a candidate fielded by former minister LD Arora’s daughter, Sunita Setia, is contesting the bypoll on the symbol of aeroplane. Also in the fray is Manju Bala, an Independent contesting the election on the symbol of rising sun. Battle lines had been drawn and all candidates as well as the leaders supporting them have been leaving no stone unturned to win the bypoll. While the INLD is campaigning hard to retain the seat vacated by the party’s councillor, others have been making all efforts to win this bypoll ahead of the Assembly poll slated for next year.

Mewat under sway of kidnappers
Gurgaon, September 16 To ensure their success, these kidnappers have employed woman from across the district to make these calls. So far in more than 50 such instances, the accused have been found to be of Mewat. Many incidents have been reported from the areas like Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur and villages, including Gopalgarh, Pahari and Ladamkha ,” said a senior official of the Rajasthan police. The latest incident came to light on Sunday night when the Alwar police found three missing persons Idu (35), Nishad (28) and Kalu (32).

Sirsa , September 16 The council’s first two centres of this district were inaugurated in Kharia and Ludesar villages recently by Avantika Maken Tanwar, wife of Sirsa MP Ashok Tanwar, in the presence of Alison Barrett, Director, English for Education System of the BC for South Asia, and Reesha Alvi, Project Director, Delhi.

New system of cotton plantation may boost productivity
Sirsa, September 16 The CICR has set up 2,600 demonstration plots, covering 37 districts of the country under the “High-Density Planting” that involves closer spacing of cotton plants from the present 67.5 cm (row to row) X 60 cm (plant to plant) to 67.5 cm (row to row) X 10 cm (plant to plant). While in the current 67.5 cm X 60 cm system, the number of plants is 2,4691 in one hectare, by close spacing it will change to 67.5 cm X 10 cm system. The number of plants increases to 14,8148 in a hectare of land. Increased number of plants and hence bolls automatically lead to increased productivity of the crop. Twelve such demonstration plots have been set up in seven villages of Sirsa, the district that counts for almost 40 per cent of the cotton produced in Haryana. “India stands at number one in the world as far as the area under cotton is concerned and it is second to China in the matter of total production and total export of cotton. But, when it comes to productivity per hectare, our country stands at the 24th position in the world with even Pakistan having better productivity,” said Dr Dalip Monga, a Principal Scientist and Head of Sirsa-based regional centre of the CICR. By adopting the “High-Density Planting” technique, farmers will be able to increase their productivity by raising the number of plants and bolls per hectare. Dr Monga said much would depend on how the new technique worked when taken up at a larger scale. He was confident that the world average of 750 kilogram lint per hectare could be easily surpassed. “Most of the 2,600-odd demonstration plots have been set up for trials in the central and southern India, while in Sirsa, such plots have been set up in Begu, Fatehpuria, Mohammedpuria, Rangri Khera, Sawantkhera, Bhuna and Bakrianwali villages," said Dr Monga. The “High-Density Planting” trials are on normal varieties of cotton and not on the Bt varieties at present in vogue. Dr Monga said with the productivity of Bt cotton being stagnant for the past many years and rather on decline after reaching a peak, normal varieties were likely to make a comeback.

Failure to generate revenue
Ambala/Yamunanagar, September 16 Well-placed sources in the power utilities said as many as 26 officials of UHBVN and 20 officials of DHBVN have come in the line of fire for not performing well over the past two months and having failed to generate revenue in proportion to the power supplied by the utilities. The sources said this year the state power utilities supplied record power to the state consumers of all sectors for which elaborate arrangements had been made by the power utilities. However, the recovery of bills remained far below expected and as the matter was looked into, it was found that officials posted at various subdivisions and district headquarters had not been able to recover the power bills. It was learnt that the state power utilities had singed a long-term purchase agreement to buy around 1,400 MW of power, which had helped the utilities tide over the power crisis in the state this year. The utilities require making payment for it and under recovery of the bills was posing a problem to the authorities. The sources said revenue generation had fallen short by 25 to 30 per cent in various subdivisions of the state. Meanwhile, the CMD of the state power utilities, Devender Singh, said the work of all officials was being assessed keeping in view their performance and score cards based on increase in revenue realisation, recovery of defaulting amount, detection of cases of power theft and quick disposal of complaints. He said these parameters would be used to assess the efficiency of officials.

Women's role vital in Independence struggle, says professor
Fatehabad, September 16 Dr RK Sharma, Principal, Dr Meet, head of the women wing of the college, also spoke on this occasion. Dr Laxmi Narain, Dr Sita Ram and several others were present on this occasion. “We trace our struggle for freedom to 1857, when thousands of women participated in the revolt by taking swords in their hands. Since then, women participated in the freedom struggle in direct or indirect manner from time to time,” said Jagmohan Singh. Bhagat Singh’s nephew said the fact that Netaji Subhash Chander Bose constituted a women wing of his Azad Hind Army and named it after Jhansi Ki Rani Laxmi Bai itself spoke about the women’s contribution in the freedom movement. He said when the revolutionaries were fighting against the English regime, women provided strength to their families at home. Later, speaking to The Tribune, Jagmohan Singh traced a link between Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chander Bose. He said the second part of Bhagat Singh's famous "Letter to the Young Political Workers" had revealed a relationship between him and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Jagmohan Singh has traced the document's journey from Lahore to Bengal. The document contains notes entitled "Our Opportunity", "Gandhism", "Terrorism"and "Revolutionary Party". He said the document must have been with Bose, and that is why it was recovered from Bengal. "The trail of the document draws our attention to the fact that how less we understand Netaji. We need to understand Bhagat Singh and him together now," said Jagmohan Singh.

SGPC to provide free pilgrimage facility to poor devotees
Karnal, September 16 "The decision is a historic one, as such an initiative has been taken for the first time and there are around 100 historic gurdwaras for which the SGPC will provide free transport," Senior Vice-President of the SGPC Raghujit Singh Virk said recently. Every devotee will be able to pay obeisance to the Guru in the Guru Ghar and we will start buses for the needy, the poor (below poverty line) and the disabled who want to visit the Sikh shrines but cannot afford it due to lack of resources, Virk said. The initiative will be started in Haryana and Punjab and the proposal will be finalised at the SGPC executive meeting next month and the buses will start from November. The Golden Temple, Talwandi Sabo, Anandpur Sahib, Patna Sahib, Hajoor Sahib and Nada Sahib are some of the gurdwaras that the poor would be able to visit. A committee will be constituted to fine tune the plan and initially the bus services will be operated on a weekly basis, Virk said.

Green cover on decline in state
Karnal, September 16 Though the Act reduced diversion of forest land, the forest area, which was more than 1.75 lakh hectares at the time of the commencement of the Act, has further decreased by 5 per cent over the years. The main reason behind the gross violation of the Forest Conservation Laws is that the fine or punishment for various offences could not prove to be a deterrent as these were fixed in 1927 during the British rule. The forest laws are being violated with impunity as fine for an offence under the Act is still Rs 500 and the imprisonment is just just upto six months. The Forest Department has already sought suitable amendments to the Law by increasing the minimum fine to Rs 50,000 for the illegal felling of trees and smuggling of forest produce. The imprisonment sought by the department is upto two years. "Due to a steep increase in the value of forest produce in the recent years, the fine of Rs 500 has no relevance. Besides increasing the punishment, a provision should also be made in the law for seizing the produce and impounding vehicles," Principal Chief Conservator of Forest CR
Jyotriwal said. Earlier, Chief Minister BS Hooda had announced an ambitious scheme to plant trees on farmers' land with their concurrence at a state -level Vanamahotsava function in Karnal in August 2010 as no government land, along the highways, was available for plantations to achieve the target of 20 per cent green cover. As per the 2011 India State of Forest Report, forest cover in Haryana is 1,608 sq km, which is 3.64 per cent of the state's geographical area, and the tree cover is 1,395 sq km, which is 3.16 per cent of the total geographical area. The combined forest cover and tree cover is 6.80 per cent of the total
geographical area. The data compiled in the study report for the period 1999-2012 shows a massive increase in construction activities in the NCR districts of Haryana, which have the highest concentration of land under built-up area, which is pegged at 35.46 per cent. The built-up area here grew from 93,996 hectares to 1.32 lakh hectares in the past 13 years, survey stated. The report also pointed out that the increase in the built-up area mainly came from the conversion of agriculture land, green areas, water bodies and waste land and due to the absence of proper legislation to control land use in the agricultural zone (rural).

Arrangements in place for direct cash transfer of gas subsidy
Ambala, September 16 The DC said the gas dealers had a relevant performa for taking benefit of the scheme. Besides, consumers of gas cylinders could give their names, gas consumer number, bank account and Aadhar card numbers on a white paper.

Knowledge is foundation of success, says VC
Sonepat, September 16 “Knowledge is the foundation of success. Knowledge comes from hard work, dedication and commitment and such efforts never desert a person in the life. There is hardly any problem which cannot be solved," said Mohinder Kumar.

Stray animals create problems
Kaithal, September 16 The municipal council and the administration had failed to take an action to check the menace of stray animals. Despite repeated government announcements to check the presence of stray animals on roads, the problem still continues to aggravate.

"goshalas". The residents have demanded that the government should solve this problem at the earliest. NK Solanki, Deputy Commissioner, said he would soon issue directions to the civic body to take appropriate steps to solve the problem.

Society organises workshop on share market
Kurukshetra, September 16 He is a renowned technical analyst in the field of shares and stock market and has been sharing his knowledge throughout the country for more than five years. He hosts two popular television shows on the ZEE Business, namely "Bazaar Shastra" and "Sher Bazaar". Prof Arun Goel, professor in charge, Infrastructure Society, said that in organising a workshop on stocks and shares, the society was going beyond civil engineering-related subjects so that all students of the institute could get a working knowledge on a subject related to current interest and significance. Miglani gave a basic understanding of the stocks and shares and how the market operates. He amused the audience and aroused their interest by describing the share and stock market as an art of a thief. While igniting the idea of bringing a prospective change in thinking and decision making process which may result in enhancing the understanding and performance in the world of stock and commodity markets, Miglani said, “It is not important whether you are right or wrong, what is important is that how much money you lose when you are wrong and how much you make when you are right." He told the students about the basic protocols of stock market, like how to invest, where to invest and how much to invest. “It is like being a juggler with too many balls in the air. You just drop one and you end up dropping them all," added Miglani. He explained that the art of money making from other sources is quite different from the art of money making from investments in shares or stocks as the former requires your hard work and dedication while the latter requires patience and observation skills. During the discussion round, Miglani also clarified the doubts of the audience. About 400 students attended the workshop.
