BJP-HJC panel fails to work out seat-sharing formula
Chandigarh, September 30 Both alliance partners Instead decided to form a six-member committee with three members from each party to work out the modalities for seat-sharing. State BJP president Ram Bilas Sharma and HJC supremo Kuldeep Bishnoi were authorised to nominate the members of the committee from their respective parties. Sharma told The Tribune that the meeting resolved to moblise party workers for the forthcoming Lok Sabha poll to throw out the corruption-ridden Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre and the Hooda Government in the state.The issue of the seat sharing--eight for the BJP and two for the HJC--would be resolved soon, he claimed. While the BJP-HJC alliance had already decided to contest 45 seats each in the Assembly elections, the BJP has decided to leave two seats to its partner in the parliamentary elections. While Hisar, currently being representated by Bishnoi, seems to be the automatic choice for the HJC, the party is believed to be lobbying for the Karnal Lok Sahba seat also. It is believed that Bishnoi may field his elder brother and former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Chander Mohan from Karnal. It may be recalled that an influencial section of the BJP believes that the BJP-INLD alliance could dislodge the Hooda Government in next year’s parliamentary and state assembly elections for its various acts of omission and commission. In fact, the INLD with its support in rural Haryana and the BJP with sizeable pockets of influence in urban areas would replicate the success of SAD-BJP in Haryana, a senior BJP leader asserted. A recent meeting between Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley and INLD supremo Om Prakash Chautala’s younger son Abhay Chautla has also fuel speculations about a possible tie-up between the two parties.In fact, BJP prime ministerial candididate Narendra Modi’s fascination for Chautala senior is well-known. Recently, Abhay Chautala also pledged unconditional support to the BJP in case BJP-led NDA formed the next government at the Centre. BJP-HJC coordination meet. |

Woman delivers on road in Fatehabad
Fatehabad, September 30 Suman (26), from Chobara village of Fatehabad, suffered labour pains in the morning and was brought to the CHC. Her husband Subhash Chander alleged that though his wife was experiencing unbearable pain, the doctors told her that the delivery would take time and advised her to go for a leisurely walk. As she was walking on the concrete road outside the hospital building, Suman suffered bleeding and could not stand. She had barely laid down on the road that she delivered a baby in the open. When Subhash found his wife lying on the ground, he rushed towards her for help but she had, by that time, already delivered a baby. Some women rushed to Suman’s rescue and gave her a cover with the help of a piece of cloth. Later, Subhash rushed inside the CHC and informed the doctors, who asked some women to bring Suman inside. Civil Surgeon Dr Suraj Bhan Kamboj said no doctor or health staff was at fault. “I had asked the Senior Medical Officer of the CHC, Bhuna, Dr RC Goyal to conduct a fact-finding inquiry and send a report. The report says the woman had gone outside the hospital on her own and no one from the hospital was at fault for what she suffered,” he added. |

Wanted criminal shot in Rohtak
Rohtak/Bhiwani, September 30 The encounter took place around 4 am this morning when the police was informed that the wanted criminal was hiding himself in a field on the Kalanaur-Bondh road, about 17 km from here. A team of armed police led by Sub-Inspector Azad Singh laid siege to the spot and asked the accused to surrender, but, according to police officials, Kolbir opened fire on the police. This made the police to retaliate with fire that resulted in the his death, claimed IG, Rohtak Range, Anil Rao, who was among the senior officers who rushed to the spot after the encounter. The police recovered two revolvers and nine cartridges from the spot, he said. Kolbir had hit the news headlines on November 15 last year, when he had allegedly shot dead two brothers at Bondh village. He had been absconding since then and had become synonymous with the terror as the villagers feared that he could strike and kill any person as and when he wanted. Kolbir was wanted in 13 cases, said the police. He had jumped the parole in 2006 and was on the run. The police had later announced a reward of Rs 2 lakh to anybody who could provide a clue leading to his arrest, it is added. While the body of the deceased was handed over to his kin later this evening after post-mortem at the PGIMS, the IG and the SP have lauded the role of the police in this regard. A villager said, “We are feeling relieved now and can roam freely in the fields without fear. Such was the terror of Kolbir that the farmers used to return home before the sunset fearing getting caught by him. After he killed two brothers, farmers had stopped going to their fields and even delayed sowing of rabi crops. The farmers used to go to the fields under police cover in case of emergency.” He had become a headache for the police as well as the local residents. “Kolbir used to demand food from
them. Due to his fear, people used to fulfil his wishes as they knew that complaint to the police against him would be of no use. |

International Day for Older Persons
Karnal, September 30 She was shunted out by her son, who resides at Basu Gate and runs a mobile accessories shop. With tears rolling down her cheeks, she narrated her sordid tale of miseries of how her son threw her out of the property and made her penniless as rent of the house was her only source of livelihood. “My daughter cannot do much as she is a widow and is raising three children by herself,” she added. Kamla Devi, a resident of Nalipar, Kunjpura, in Karnal, said “After my husband, an ex-army personnel, expired, my son became an alcoholic. His wife left the house along with her children and I landed here”. She is not the lone case of an alcoholic child throwing out parents as Shabu Sharan Verma (68) from Bihar was also chucked out by his alcoholic son. “I am paying for my deeds. I should have infused moral values in him”, he lamented. Another inmate, Paltu Ram (84), father of four children, two sons and two daughters, said he was harassed and robbed of all his cash and other assets by his sons, who worked as labourers, but the police did not come to his rescue. “I was beaten up, Rs 16,000 was snatched from me and I was thrown out of the house,” he added. Life changed for Harichand (75), a resident of Ghaziabad, after he lost his leg in an accident in 1980. All his earnings were exhausted in his treatment. With no family members, he had nowhere to go and is living in the ashram since 2004. However, Sudha Bala (72), a single woman, presents a picture in contrast. Hailing from Pathankot and suffering from polio since birth, she graduated 50 years ago, did business of cycle accessories for 25 years but landed up in the ashram after her parents died. Even after both her legs stopped working four-and-a-half-years ago and she was confined to a wheel chair, Bala maintains there is happiness all around. |

Krishna Mohan gets 3-month extension
The committee of three IAS officers was constituted by Hooda against the backdrop of cancellation of mutation of the Gurgaon land deal by Ashok Khemka and seeking of reports about alleged undervaluation of properties by Vadra from four Deputy Commissioners in the NCR. The Krishna Mohan panel gave the ‘clean chit’ to Robert Vadra, saying that there was no undervalutation of land registrations done in favour of Vadra firms. Not only that, the committee also allegedly tried to put Khemka in the dock by concluding that Khemka’s order of setting aside the mutation of Gurgaon land was beyond his jurisdiction. While Khemka had applied for certain documents to reply to the committee, he was denied information by the state government. However, his 100-page reply to the committee kicked up a storm with the whistleblower officer raising an accusing finger at the change-of-land-use procedures of the government.

Honour Killing
Yamunanagar, September 30 Sources said the preliminary interrogation of Mahinder Singh, father of the deceased, and her mother Mahindro, had revealed that the girl had first been administered poison and then she was strangulated to make certain that she breathe no more. After this, they concocted a story that Manjit had been unwell eversince they brought her back from Ludhiana on Saturday evening and she took some medicine which reacted and proved fatal for her. However, the haste shown by them in cremating the body on Sunday morning revealed more than they could hide. As the police arrived in the village and pulled out the half-burnt body of Manjit Kaur from the cremation ground, the evidence against the parents started to tumble out. After they confessed to have killed Manjit, the police produced the two before a local court which sent them to police custody for two days as the police contended that further interrogation was required to unearth more evidence against them. Meanwhile, the whereabouts of the boy, who eloped with Manjit Kaur, had not yet been confirmed. The police said efforts were on to trace the boy, who from the fear of the locals was not returning to his native village. |
