Struggle on to reclaim 350 acres in Ambala village
Manish Sirhindi/TNS
Nurdh (Ambala), November 8 These land sharks even managed to get the land mutated into their names in 2003 with an intention to sell it to a Ambala property dealer after securing the backing of a top politician. However, the panchayat challenged the mutation in the Ambala DC’s court and has been fighting the case for the last 10 years to reclaim the land. A huge chunk of land in Nurdh attracted the local land sharks who managed to get 350 acres of this land mutated in name of those who were in possession of the land from the Barara SDM’s court in 2003. Out of the 440 acres, 90 acres of land stands in the name of the village panchayat and is leased out annually to generate income for the panchayat. While the 350 acres is Shamlat deh land and was being cultivated by villagers. Some local farmers, including Harcharan Singh, managed to get this 350 acres mutated in their name and allegedly tried to sell it to a Ambala property dealer, who had the backing of a known Congress leader, who happened to an MLA at that time. Believing that with the political clout enjoyed by the MLA, he would be able to take possession of the land and even suppress the opposition of the village panchayat, the deal was even finalised with the property dealer, but after the media gave it wide coverage, the MLA withdrew himself from the deal for the fear of bad publicity. However, he then introduced a native of Panipat, who is believed to be a relative of Congress leader Virender Singh, and attempts were made to sell this land to him, but this deal never materialised. Sarpanch of the village Ranbir Singh said following this, the village panchayat under then sarpanch Surinder Kaur, challenged the mutation of the 350 acres, in the Ambala DC court and the matter is still pending there.

Summoning babus only way to get orders enforced: HC
Saurabh Malik Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 8 The assertion came on the petition against eve-teasing and other related issued filed by NGO Lawyers for Human Rights International. The petition was filed after six villages of Mahendragarh district in Haryana stopped sending girls to a higher secondary school in a nearby village after an eve-teasing incident. Taking up the matter, the High Court had put Punjab, Haryana and the Chandigarh Administration on notice. One of the issues raised in the petition was implementation of suggestions agreed upon by Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh on combating eve-teasing through the Public Relations Department and the Education Department. Counsel for the petitioner Navkiran Singh had asserted that amendments such as making stalking an offence were carried out in the existing laws after the Delhi rape incident. But efforts to make arrangements for their implementation and generating awareness were lacking. As the case came up for resumed hearing, the Bench took exception to the fact that an affidavit in the matter was filed by Punjab police authorities despite wide compass and broad ramifications of the issue. “Punjab has filed an affidavit only through the police authorities. We find that there appears to be no endeavour to give finality to the aspect of the directions required to be given by this court?. We grant last opportunity to all three respondents to comply with the directions within four weeks failing which the Chief Secretaries of both states and the Adviser to the Administrator of the Chandigarh will remain personally present in the court,” the Bench concluded. In the petition, Navkiran Singh had earlier asserted : “The problem is the anti-women mindset of the villagers, who used this incident as an excuse to prevent girls from being educated. With growing assertion of girls in Haryana, the patriarchal system and customs are being challenged and this is an attempt to prevent their emancipation.”

Posters, hoardings dot Rohtak
Bijendra Ahlawat Tribune News Service
Rohtak, November 8 "All electric poles and dividers have been defaced with posters, banners and hoardings put up by political activists owing allegiance to the Congress, giving an impression that the rally had been the only thing of importance for the authorities and the masses," quipped Surender Singh, a teacher. He said this had defaced the city even as residents were grappling with the menace of waste generated by crackers and gift packs on Diwali. "Describing posters and hoardings as wastage of money, Kavita, a college student, said the local leaders had found the most easy way to gain publicity by putting up posters with their names and photos in large size. Demanding an action against those who had defaced the walls of private and public buildings, Yoginder Dahiya, a social activist, claimed that posters and banners on dividers of main roads had been illegal as these had been blocking the view and could result in mishaps. Geeta Devi, a resident of Prem Nagar locality, here said instead of providing solution to the civic problems, they were trying to publicise the rally which was hardly of any use to a common man.

Soccer champion girls await govt awards
Hisar, November 8 The team representing Government Senior Secondary School is yet to get cash reward even after one year which they are entitled to on account of being the reigning national champions. They became national champions in under-19 category in December last year. The school's under-14 and under-17 teams came second and third. Even their recent exploits, when they went down fighting in the Subroto cup final match against the mighty Manipur team by losing in the penalty shoot-out, went unnoticed and village elders offered them prizes to boost their courage. The girls have no complaints against anyone. "We will submit forms to claim cash awards. We are busy in preparing for the next national tournament which is just a month away," they said, while talking to The Tribune today. The cash award of Rs 18,000 to each player under-19 team will take some more months to reach them. The under-14 and under-17 teams, which placed second and third, would get Rs 15,000, Rs 10,000. The Sports Department offer these cash awards. However, the cash rewards for state-level school winners are a pittance from the Education Department which has been fixed at Rs 250, Rs 150 and Rs 100 for the first, second and third positions. Alakhpura girls, who got first positions in all three categories, too got Rs 250 as they are state-level winners too. The Physical Training Teachers Association had demanded the revision of the prizes and took up the issue with the School Education director Surina Rajan recently. The PTI Association president Rajesh Dhanda said the state and national level winning players should get honourable cash prizes. Deputy Director of the Sports Department ML Vairgai maintained that state and national medal winners were asked to apply for cash prizes after completion of the financial year after March 31. The entire process took some time as the players need to submit forms and then the department scrutinise and authenticates the certificates before distributing the cash prizes." Chief Parliamentary Secretary, Sports, Prahalad Singh Gillakhera stated that he would ensure adequate facilities for the girls football team in the village and also expedite the cash prize entitlements to them.
