MC ‘gifts’ land to
encroachers CHANDIGARH, Feb 2 — In a virtual reversal of its anti-encroachment policy, the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh(MCC) has "gifted" several acres of prime government land worth crores of rupees to encroachers in certain pockets of Mani Majra by regularising illegal constructions. The decision, taken at a meeting of the civic body on February 1, is likely to give a fillip to the illegal construction activity in other parts of the city. The resolution in support of the regularisation of the illegal construction in the acquired area of Pocket no 2 and Pocket no 11 was passed without any discussion at the meeting. It may be recalled that the erstwhile Notified Area Committee (NAC), Mani Majra, had acquired land in these pockets in 1990. The finance and contract committee of the civic body, at its meeting on June 11 last year, had taken a unanimous decision regarding the "use of area in these pockets". Under the new plan, the MCC would take the initial development works in the pockets like laying of roads, sewerage lines and water supply lines. Besides, no new construction would be allowed in the acquired land under any circumstances. Residents of the area around these pockets said that the enforcement staff of the corporation had demolished the illegal structures many a time but in the absence of any follow-up action and under "political pressure" they had sprung up again. A visit to prime land in Pocket no 2 near Gobind Pura locality, which is at a stone's throw from the Chandigarh-Shimla highway, today revealed that some of the illegal structures had been given on rent. Similarly, in Pocket no 11 behind Pipliwala town, several illegal structures had sprung up. The corporation has, however, imposed certain conditions for the structures to be regularised. The owner of the structure would have to pay the price of land at the existing market rates on the day of the assessment and pay the development charges and penalties. Only those structures would be regularised which did not come in the final planning of the area. The remaining structures would be demolished and the owner allotted alternative sites in the planned area on market rates. As regards the structures being used for commercial purposes unauthorisedly in a residential area, they will be regularised on the payment of commercial rates of the land as per rules on the day of assessment. Similarly, the structures falling in the commercial area in the plan would also be charged commercial rates of land as per the civic body's assessment. Meanwhile, the area
councillor, Mr Raj Kumar Goyal, claimed that the
structures had come up before the acquisition of land.
The structures should be regularised after charging the
rates prevalent at that time. |
Adventure sports academy for
Panchkula CHANDIGARH, Feb 2 — An adventure sports academy will soon be set up at Panchkula for the promotion of adventure activity among the youth, said Mr Ram S. Verma, president of the National Adventure Club and Chief Secretary, Haryana, while declaring open a two-week long fifth National Adventure Festival at Tagore Theatre here today. The aim of the club was to acquaint the youth with the mighty Himalayas and the rivers originating from it. Citing the example of ancient sages who had set up four peeths at different corners of the country, he said they too wanted that the people should enjoy the beauty of the country, be it the golden beaches, lofty mountains or taking a dip in the holy rivers. The spirit excels from such activities and one example was Ms Santosh Yadav, who is the only woman in the world, to have scaled Mount Everest twice. She now plans to take an all- women expedition to the Everest in the near future. Mr Sanjay Kothari, senior vice-president of the club, said only those who had not participated earlier in mountaineering had been selected. He said this year the club would present the Bharat Gaurav award to Everesters Dicky Dolma and Deepu Sharma. The Adamya Sahas Puruskar will be given to Rajiv Midha and Savita Kumari Panda. The latter, who hails from Orissa had no mountaineering experience, but is the youngest person to scale the 25, 170-foot-high Kamet peak. The first award comprises of Rs 11, 000 in cash, a plaque, besides first class travelling expenses, while the latter comprises Rs 1,100 and first class travel expenses. Others present on the occasion included Air Commodore S.K. Banerjee, AOC 12 Wing, and Mr Bhasker Chatterjee and Mr S.C. Saxena, commissioners in the Haryana government. The coordinators of the various treks, Brig D.K. Khullar, Col Y. Kumar, Mr Rajesh Bansal, Mr S.C. Chaudhry, Mr Ajit Saran and Mr Sushil Kumar explained in detail the activities planned for the participants. Each participant will take part in at least four adventure activities like skiing, river rafting, trekking, kayaking, canoeing, parasailing and roller skating. Those taking part have been divided into six groups. They will proceed to different destinations tomorrow morning. As many as 500 participants from Punjab, Haryana, Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Maharashtra, Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Tripura, Orissa and Rajasthan have reported here. The activities include roller skating from Narkanda to Chandigarh; trekking at Dak Pathar, McLeodganj, Nahan, Manali, Narkanda, rafting at Shiv Puri, parasailing at Dehra Dun and Pinjore, skiing at Solang Nallah and Narkanda, water sports like canoeing, kayaking rides on water scooters at Pong Dam and at Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh. Parasailing will be done at Pinjore and Dehra Dun while paragliding would be done at Jogindernagar. A new sport, scuba diving, has been added from this year and it would be done till a depth of 100 feet using highly specialised Army equipment at Renuka lake in Nahan. Mr Rajan Gupta, chairman of the organising committee, claimed that this was the largest adventure festival in the country. A colourful cultural programme was also organised. However, Vaishali, a six-year-old class one student from Jainendra Public School, Panchkula, stole the show by her stage presence and confidence in a dance number. A dance number was presented by students of Bhavan Vidalaya. The entire festival will entail an expenditure of Rs 20 to Rs 25 lakh and all the participants have been insured against any eventuality. The closing ceremony will
be held at Cricket Stadium in Sector 16, Chandigarh, on
February 14 where sky divers of the Indian Air Force will
give a spectacular performance. |
Sanitation drive a failure PANCHKULA, Feb 2 — The year-long special nationwide sanitation drive, launched on the Martyrdom Day of Mahatma Gandhi last year, has failed to achieve the desired results . The state of cleanliness in different towns and villages of the district remains far from satisfactory. Ramgarh village from where the campaign was launched by the Governor of Haryana, Mr Mahabir Prasad, is in a state of neglect. A visit to a Ramdasia locality from where the campaign was kicked off shows that garbage and plastic bags are littered on both banks of a dirty water nullah running through the locality. Mr J.P.Saini, a resident of Ramgarh, says the cleanliness and maintenance of basic amenities have been neglected due to lack of funds. Mr Ramesh, a former Panch of the village, says :" There is only one sweeper for the area and he is not regular. We have to clean the lanes in front of our houses". Even in the Municipal areas of Pinjore and Kalka heaps of garbage are a common site. Inquires reveal that there are only seven sweepers with the Pinjore Municipal Committee. Mr S. Samuel, a resident of Pinjore, says a sweeper visits his locality once or twice a month. There are no proper garbage dumping sites, he adds. A dirty water nullah passing through the town is a source of nuisance for the residents. Stray cattle rummaging through heaps of garbage and plastic bags in the vicinity of the nullah have failed to attract the attention of the authorities. A proposal to channelise the nullah has yet to materialise. Mr Sanjeev Kumar, a resident of Vishavkarma colony, says disposal of garbage has been the main problem for the residents. Moreover, the disposal of the garbage is not at regular intervals. Residents of Kalka and Barwala also complain about similar problems. Officials say that though no schedule as such had been made to carry out the cleanliness campaign, the Panchayats concerned had been asked to make the drive a regular feature. They had been asked to give details about the funds required to carry out the campaign. The Panchkula township had been divided into five groups to carry on the cleanliness campaign, say HUDA officials. Though the state of cleanliness is better as compared to other parts of the district, local residents complain that the garbage removal is not carried out at regular intervals. The overflowing open trash bins attract stray cattle. The condition in the Rajiv
and Indira Colony, Azad Colony, Kharak Mangoli village
and in villages falling within the township is worse.
Inadequate sanitation staff is cited as the reason for
the neglect of the above- mentioned areas. |
Residents in for a dry summer S.A.S. NAGAR, Feb 2 — Residents here are likely to be in for a dry summer if a wide gap in the demand and supply of drinking water in the town is to be believed. At present, the availability of water in the city, which is expanding at a rapid pace, is not more than one third of its actual requirement during the summers. According to a study conducted by the local Public Health authorities, the maximum requirement of water during summer is about 32 million gallons per day (MGD). Only 12.5 MGDs of water is available at present which is not sufficient to meet the requirement of a town with a population of more than two lakh and which is increasing. Of the 12.5 MGDs of drinking water, about five MGDs comes from the Kajauli Water Works as share of the town under the Phase I and Phase II of the Chandigarh Water Supply Scheme. The rest of water is supplied by the Punjab Urban Development Authority(PUDA). Officials attributed the present state of affairs to the "lacklustre attitude" of the local Municipal Council as it had "failed" to take any steps to augment the supply of drinking water in the city. "We had submitted estimates for setting up of as many as 18 tubewells in different parts of the city , but barring four, all estimates are still pending with the authorities," said Mr H.S.Dev, Superintending Engineer of the department. He said the department was unable to improve the situation since it was the responsibility of the PUDA and the MC to set-up new tubewells in the developing and the developed areas. He said the job of his department was only to run and maintain the existing supply system comprising a five MGD treatment plant at Phase VI and as many as 37 tubewells in different sectors. He said a number of requests had been made to the MC authorities to expedite the process for installation of new tubewells, but nothing much had been done so far. Even after the installation of new tubewells, there would be no improvement in the water supply situation, particularly as far as the shortfall of 19.5 MGD of water in the city was concerned, another official of the department said. He said the problem could be tackled only by drawing a direct pipeline from the Kajauli Water Works. Mr Dev said with a view to improve the situation, the department had recently taken over 15 of the 25 tubewells run by the PUDA. Ms Seema Jain and Mr
Inderjit Kumar, Additional Chief Administrator and
Divisional Engineer (Public Health) of the PUDA
respectively, were not available for comments. When
contacted, Mr K.S.Brar, Executive Officer of the MC, said
he could not comment without looking into the details of
the issue. Similarly, Mr Mohinder Singh, Municipal
Engineer, said he was unable to comment as the official
concerned was not available. |
Fossil find pushes back whale's
age CHANDIGARH, Feb 2 — Discovery of a jawbone fossil of the world's oldest whale at Subathu in Himachal Pradesh has made the species' dating 3.5 million years older than the available information.The discovery sheds considerable light on the transition in the development of whale from a land animal to a sea mammal. The discovery has been mentioned in a paper of Sunil Bajpai from University of Roorkee and Philip D Gingerich from Department of Geological Sciences, University of Michigan, in proceedings of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences published in December, 1998. Dr Bajpai carried out extensive research on whales along with Dr Ashok Sahni, Department of Geology, Panjab University, at the post graduate and the Ph D level before joining as an Assistant Professor at Roorkee. The discovery called Himalayacetus subathuensis has been dated 53.5 million years old. Scientists are considering this older than Pakicetus (an ancestor of whales) which has also been linked with presence at the ancient Tethys sea separating Indian and Asian subcontinent before they collided and the Himalayas came up. This whale spent some time in water hunting before coming back to land for rest and breeding. The paper of Dr Bajpai and Dr Gingerich says "the new Pakicetid was found 100 metres lower stratigraphically and 3.5 million years older geologically than the Kuldana-Kalakot equivalent upper Subathu red bed producing Pakicetus elsewhere. This not only extends the fossil record of cetacea (whales) back in time, but also reinforces the idea that whales originated on margins of the tethys". The fossil has teeth clearly adapted to eating fish. A few years earlier Prof Sahni had discovered "an inch long bit of tooth embedded in a rock at the foot of the Himalayas". This was of a "whale that walked". Professor Sahni and his team has been researching and writing on the subject extensively since 1973. The tooth was also found near Subathu which explained that fierce meat-eaters (whales) roamed the land before they took to water. It is generally agreed that whales originated from a group of prehistoric meat-eaters called Misonychians, ancestors of both lions and horses. Many bits of bones are being discovered at the foot of the Himalayas across India and Pakistan, Prof Sahni said while talking to TNS today. Subathu is emerging as a centre of rich fossil finds. The fossils found in Baluchistan (Pakistan) share remarkable similarities with the bones found in Himachal Pradesh. The primitive whales are believed to be clumsy walkers, said Prof Sahni. They were more of ambush hunters. The pads to hear on land slowly evolved into fat pads which allowed hearing in water as well. The whales gradually adopted to increased salt intensity. The early whales were ferocious carnivores and resembled wolves. About 37 million years
ago," 10 million years after whales became fully
aquatic, the creatures that began it all became
extinct". This happened long after the dinosaurs
became extinct and long before human civilisation came
up, Professor Sahni added. |

'World
towards disarmament' CHANDIGARH, Feb 2 — The issue of nuclear warfare is likely to become obsolete in the coming 35 years, Prof Philip Morrison of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told a press conference here today. The change will come as a consequence of successive agreements between countries. The possibility of nuclear exchange between countries on the scale of atomic explosions in Japan during World War II cannot be ruled out. However, the public opinion in favour of the attacked nation will be like an "earthquake". This will be due to the extensive media coverage the event would get, he said. Professor Morrison was making reference to his latest book, "Reason enough to hope" written along with Kosta Tsipy. While a large number of scientists in the USA were projecting a rather glum picture for future, this book comes as an optimistic's version. He is of the opinion that the world was progressing towards disarmament. There was a greater need for the superpowers to cut further on the defence budget. He is visiting Panjab University along with his wife, Phylis who has wide interests in arts and popularisation of science. Both will be addressing students in the coming week. He mentioned his endeavour for search of extra terrestrial signals based on his arguments propounded in a paper in 1961. A huge radio telescope at Puerto Rico has been sending signals in hope that someone responds. "The intensity of signals being sent is however low and no major breakthrough has been made", he said. The search for extra terrestrial life was an archaeology for the future, said Professor Morrison. He, however, added that there was no scientific explanation available to substantiate the ET sightings or the "magical powers of the Bermuda Triangle". Professor Morrison said discovery of a solar system similar to ours in October, 1995, had revolutionised science. There was definite information about 18 solar systems. If one was to make a prediction based on the available data there would be between 10 and 100 million solar systems. None of the planets from among 18 which have been discovered resemble the earth. Even if there was any it would be difficult to say because the techniques were still not that developed, he added. The solar systems always
existed around certain right stars which are visible. As
the stars are more bright than the planets around it the
existing systems remained hidden. Advancement in
astronomy had made it possible to locate them and a few
years down the line there could be more developments, he
averred. |
Search
on for woman's attacker CHANDIGARH, Feb 2 — The police has despatched teams to Amritsar and other places in the region to nab the person who is suspected to have stabbed the Sector 22 housewife.

Original frames CHANDIGARH: Print making though not very popular with art students has got a new lease of life in the hands of A. Balasubramaniam. He has shown beautifully through his works how its potentials can be explored and experimented with. The resulting frames are nothing but givers of pure joy, both to the viewers and their creator. They are a source of enjoyment also because they are simple. One does not have to think hard to understand them. Following the same pattern the artist has done a few etchings showing the architectural influences of Edinburgh, where he went to attend a workshop on print making. These etchings are so clear and precise that they take the viewer on a tour of the city, making him engrossed in the minutest of details. To be original is Bala's keyword. And original he is to the core since he has made a few pieces which have holograms on the silk screen showing the various phases of the moon. But what steals the show are the reflective convex mirrors that shine amidst the thumb impressions on granite powder. These are more recent works and here Bala has tried to tune himself as a person and the things of outside together. A workshop was also conducted for two days where a small group of about 10 enthusiasts were taught the intricacies of print making by the master. The unique creations of Bala can be viewed and appreciated at Art Folio, Sector 9 till February 15. A Correction Driftwood artefacts on display at the Indus Ind Bank Art Gallery are that of Col (Retd) Jaspal S. Chandoak and not Jaswant Chandoak as mentioned in yesterday's report. —
