Medical officer faces axe
Two more doctors served show-cause notices Deepender Deswal Tribune News Service
Hisar, September 17 The Health Department had also served show-cause notices on two other MOs, Dr Dara Singh and Dr Ramesh Kamra, and sought some more time to initiate disciplinary action against four other MOs. The MOs and some private practitioners have been facing trial in Hisar and Bhiwani courts facing charges of forgery, fabricating false evidence, issuing false certificate, causing hurt, etc. The government had assigned the inquiry to justice OP Garg (retd) against Dr Khatri who was facing charges of preparing around 30 fake MLRs in 2009 by deliberately inflicting an injury on the skull of a person who wanted to frame his rival in criminal cases. After showing a deep injury, an MLR was prepared which was the basis for the police to register a case of attempt to murder against the person named by the complainant. The inquiry concluded that charges against Dr Khatri stood fully proved by preponderance of evidence. Lawyer Hardeep Singh had busted the racket with the help of the police in March 2010 when he was booked in an attempt to murder case even though he was not involved in any such case. Following leads that a racket of doctors was instrumental in issuing MLRs by inflicting fake injuries, he laid a trap with the help of the police and took the lid off this racket. The lawyer, who had filed a PIL in the high court, has demanded a CBI inquiry into the cases and also demanded cancellation of the medical practitioner licences of these doctors.

Education Dept lends ear to school staff, students
Chandigarh, September 17 In a novel concept, the Director, Secondary Education, Chander Shekhar, has rolled out a “night camp” programme to reach out to government schools, their staff and students. Come Friday and the directorate descends on a chosen school in one block of a district where a brainstorming session is held over two days. “We ask the schools of a block to send us their demands pending with the department 10 days in advance. We try to expedite all pending matters and arrive at a school for separate sessions with the staff, student management committees, the village panchayat and most importantly, the students to get a feedback,” explains Chander Shekhar. Principal Shashi Sharma of the government school in Morni, where one such camp has been organised, said, “The staff from the directorate was the first to arrive here. They cleared all pending issues after which the Director held a meeting with the staff during which they were given a motivational talk and shown documentaries and inspirational lectures,” he said. After this, the department took up individual grievances of the staff and disposed them of on the spot. “The director and his staff held meetings with the panchayat and the SMPs to know the problems their children faced till late evening and stayed at the school campus. The next morning, they attended the assembly and went from class to class to interact with the children,” Sharma said. “During our visits to the schools, we found that students faced a lot of hardship learning English. While we suggested a few tips, we will also sit and strategise how to address this grievance,” Chander Shekhar said. In Kurukshetra’s Ladwa block, where one such camp was held, then DEO Asha Grover maintained that this was a kind concept. The camps are held on three Fridays of every month in different districts. |

Karnal, September 17 Villagers were taken aback when the Mayor of the Karnal Municipal Corporation Renu Bala Gupta reached the village along with other councillors and tehsildar Hari Om Atri and asked the villagers to stop all construction on the disputed land measuring 2721
kanals. The Mayor told the villagers that no construction could be carried out unless building plans were approved by the MC and as such all construction activities were illegal. The villagers maintained that the registration and mutation of the land were in their names and the land was under their possession and any intervention of the MC was unwarranted. However, a villager, advocate Devinder Sharma, said the construction on 49 plots, given to poor people in 1986, which was started a week back was stopped but what about the 150 houses already constructed on the
land. Tehsildar Hari Om Atri said the court had ordered status quo on the land in 2004 but villagers went ahead with the construction which was violation of court orders. He said the land measuring 2721 kanals was shamlat land. However, Mayor said no illegal construction would be allowed. |
