DSP suspended for
misrepresenting facts CHANDIGARH, Dec 17 — Three police officials, including a DSP, were placed under suspension here tonight while the Station House Officer (SHO) of Sector 3 police station, Jaswant Singh, was transferred to police lines. DSP (Central Division), Surjit Singh, SI, Ved Prakash incharge of Sector 22 police post and ASI Azad Singh were suspended today for allegedly misrepresenting facts and for misconduct with three British nationals two weeks ago. An inquiry by SDM, (south), Ashish Kundra found out that they had concocted the story about the arrest of the British nationals from three different places in the city. However, they were nabbed together for possessing charas and a knife. The police records showed that they had been nabbed from different places. It was later found that the cops had allegedly taken their money running into several thousand pounds and other valuables. The British Embassy sent its representative, who complained to the Chandigarh Administration that the British men had been looted by the police. The Administration has handed over the inquiry to the Vigilance Department. Mr Daya Nand , DSP, Crime, Division, was asked to supervise the investigations of the cases against the three Britons. The first inquiry was ordered by the police and was conducted by the SP, City, Mr Baldev Singh. This inquiry had absolved the police men. Following the inquiry, the SSP, Mr C.S.R. Reddy, had issued a statement that none of their personnel were involved in taking any money or valuables from the Britons. Senior officials of the Chandigarh Administration have reportedly taken a serious view of this and may even take some kind of departmental action against some officials, highly placed sources have confirmed. Meanwhile, sources have said SHO Jaswant Singh, was involved in a brawl with some youths outside a hotel in Sector 10 on Saturday. Mr Ashish Kundra will conduct a fresh inquiry into the matter.

The death of a sambhar CHANDIGARH, Dec 17 — A female sambhar (hind) died a slow death while being tied and transported to a safe forest area by men of the UT Wildlife Department here today. The gory handling of the sambhar tool place in front of the Haryana Chief Minister's residence. The animal had obviously strayed into the city from the lower Shivaliks. When our cameraman Gautam Singh reached the spot, he saw the hind struggling to free itself as the wildlife employees tied its legs and dragged the animal. Fear was writ large on the female sambhar's eyes. Twice it freed its legs and twice it was tied in a still tighter knot. The struggling animal gasped for breath as one of the employees held on to the neck and put it in a net. Our cameraman, seeing the condition of the animal, asked the wildlife officials why they were not using a tranquilliser gun. The reply was, "tranquilliser shots are not used for such animals." But a Tribune team was witness to a monkey being tranquillised at Punjab Raj Bhavan about a couple of years ago. As the sambhar was lifted and dumped into a trailer, it lay motionless. After some time, it raised its neck suddenly and then slumped, its eyes frozen. It lay like that as the jeep pulling the trailer made its journey to the Kansal forest area, our cameraman in pursuit. The team suddenly decided
to head for the Nepli forest area, another 12 km away.
The animal was unloaded and declared dead. The
post-mortem examination said the death was caused due to
heart attack. The animal had "multiple superficial
injuries", said the report. |

Triangular
contest likely for Mayor CHANDIGARH, Dec 17 — With candidates from both the BJP factions and the Congress filing their nomination papers, a triangular contest is likely for the post of Mayor in the elections scheduled for December 23. On the last day of filing of nomination papers today, three candidates each filed their papers for the posts of the Mayor and Senior Deputy Mayor. While Mr Rajinder Kumar of the Gian Chand Gupta group filed his papers as the official BJP candidate for the post of the Mayor, the group owing allegiance to the local MP, Mr Satya Pal Jain, fielded Mr Kewal Krishan for the post. The Congress fielded Ms Kamlesh for the post. The Gupta group has left the post of Senior Deputy Mayor for the SAD nominee, Mr Mohinder Singh. The current Senior Deputy Mayor, Mr Kanhaiya Lal, is the nominee of the Jain group. The Congress candidate, Mr Gurcharan Dass Kala, is also in the fray. The election for the post of the Deputy Mayor is likely to see a direct contest between Mr Bachan Singh (Jain group) and Mr Des Raj Tandon (Gupta group). The filing of nominations by members of the two factions has once again shown that the differences in the BJP have reached a point of no return. Though the leaders of the two group claimed that an amicable solution would be found by 11 a.m. on December 23, the time for the withdrawal of nominations, today's development has underscored the need for drastic action by the party high command.The central party leadership has apparently been sleeping over the matter even after the visit of the "trouble-shooter", Mr KL Sharma,to resolve the issue on December 6 . The party president, Mr Dharam Pal Gupta, claimed that the decision to field Mr Rajinder Kumar had been taken after taking the central leadership into confidence. Mr Gupta had reportedly called on the party President, Mr Kushabhau Thakre, in New Delhi yesterday. With a likelyhood of triangular contests, the nine nominated councillors are likely to play a crucial role in the election. Encroachments removed: The enforcement wing of the the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh (MCC) today removed encroachments from Sector 10-D Over 70 encroachments from the the public land which had virtually reached at the road berms were removed . Fences, iron angles and hedges were among the encroachments to be removed the operation in the operation which began at 10 a.m. and ended at about 1.30 p.m.

Therapeutic power of painting CHANDIGARH: Painting like music is said to have enormous healing powers. It has helped many people come out of the low tides in life. Art has also helped people in giving expression to their innermost thoughts by venting their hurt and disappointments. This medium has enabled artists to improve upon their conditions and face the world with confidence. Like many others, playing with colours has proved therapeutic for Harpartap too. Suffering from learning disability due to a stroke of bad luck in childhood, he took a long time to develop and start his schooling. But after joining a special school in Delhi, he turned out to be a bright student, showing an interest in painting. Joining Triveni Kala Sangam, Delhi, assisted him to a great extent. He has won many painting contests. Harpartap has been taking classes in art at Bama Academy of Art, Panchkula for the past one year. He likes to work with water colours and oils. There is a maturity and simplicity in his works, with a remarkable use of bright and lively colours. Human hands seem to fascinate him for he has done a series on them in grey and black showing different meanings in different movements. Abstract forms come easily to him as exerting his mind is difficult for Harpartap. Visuals and illustrations in a book attract him more. Nature seems to inspire him greatly for there are many pieces associated with it like "Purple Dawn", "Spring", "Autumn", "Sunset". He also created a few frames on the sun and moon. Five small Ganeshas with his companion rat, in water colours, depict the artist's interpretation of this 'drawingroom God.' Harpartap's vivid conception of the subject comes through "Angel", wherein he has shown a soul on one side and two human bodies on the other. In this, the soul is entering the human body and becoming as one. Another work, "Fusion" has nature, man and woman all merging together. This 24-year-old youth is launching his career with his first solo show, "Expressions". This exhibition is being held at Government Museum and Art Gallery till December 23. — Priti Verma

HC
restrains builder CHANDIGARH, Dec 17 — A Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court comprising Mr Justice H.S. Brar and Mr Justice K.S. Kumaran today stopped Mr Joginder Singh Shangari and Mr Jatinder Kumar Shangari, partners of Messers Shangari Builders, and Mr Anil Bhasin and Ms Shalini Bhasin, partners of Messrs Bhasin Property Dealers, from further constructing the building at plot no 585, Sector 16, Chandigarh. The court issued these orders on a petition filed by Mr Tilak Raj Malhotra, owner of House No 584, Sector 16. The court issued notice of motion to the respondents for January 7. The petitioner contended that the private respondents were constructing the building in violation of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, and the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Building Rules, 1952, as well as in violation of the easement rights of the petitioner. He said the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Chandigarh, had restrained the private respondents from demolishing the common boundary wall and from raising construction of the first floor on the boundary wall after converting it into a load-bearing wall. But they paid no heed to the court orders. The SDO (Building ) also gave them a notice on November 18 last to demolish the unauthorised construction. The petitioner alleged that the unauthorised construction had not been demolished and official respondents had not taken any action to demolish the same. The Civil Judge had held in his order of December 3 that the sanctioning of zoning plan/site plan was entirely illegal and invalid. However, he said, the
private respondents laid the roof of the first floor on
December 13. HC
directive to DGP (HG) CHANDIGARH, Dec 17 — Mr Justice THB Chalapathi today directed the DGP(Home Guard) to place before the court the file giving the steps taken against the Assistant Controller, Finance and Accounts, by January 18. Depending upon the action the DGP's responsibility has to be fixed for issuing a letter. The DGP was, however, directed to place the entire file before the court. The Judge had yesterday directed the DGP to be present before the court today to show cause as to why contempt to court proceedings should not be initiated against him. The DGP in a letter to the petitioner, Mr Kulwant Singh, had allegedly asked him to withdraw the writ petition and also give an undertaking against carrying on judicial proceedings for getting retirement benefits. Pronouncing the order the Judge observed: "This, in my view, prima facie amounts to interference with the administration of justice. Mr Kulwant Singh had
earlier filed an application for withdrawing the writ
petition "since he had been asked to submit an
affidavit that he had withdrawn the case regarding
compulsory retirement pending in court." |
