Notice to Rathore on CBI plea AMBALA, Nov 18 —The Special Magistrate for CBI cases in Haryana, Mr A.K. Tyagi, today issued a notice to the Director-General of the state police, Mr S. P. S. Rathore, for November 27 on an application moved by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for condoning the delay in filing a criminal case against him(Mr Rathore) in what has come to be known as the Ruchika molestation case. The CBI had yesterday filed a charge-sheet under Section 354(outraging the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code against Mr Rathore in the court of Mr Tyagi. The bureau was directed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court to investigate the molestation charges against Mr Rathore. The high court was moved by Mrs Madhu Anand Prakash, mother of Ms Reemu, a friend of Ms Ruchika, who was allegedly molested by Mr Rathore, who was an Inspector-General of Police and the president of the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association, in 1990. Ms Reemu had accompanied the 14-year-old Ruchika to the office of Mr Rathore on the day the alleged incident took place. Both Ms Reemu and Ms Ruchika were tennis players. Mrs Prakash had also alleged that Ms Ruchika allegedly committed suicide in 1993 because she and her family were continuously harassed by Mr Rathore. While she was expelled from her school allegedly at the behest of Mr Rathore and her brother was allegedly implicated in false cases. Since the offences under Section 354, IPC, carry a maximum punishment of imprisonment extending up to two years, the limitation for filing such cases are two years. The CBI had to move the application for condoning the delay because the case has been filed after over 10 years of the day of the alleged incident. Its counsel, Mr Daljit Singh Chawla, pressed the application mainly on the ground that the agency had filed the charge-sheet within one year of registering the FIR. The CBI application cited a number of judgements of the superior courts in support of its plea. The application also said the investigations into the molestation charges against Mr Rathore were delayed by the Haryana Government. Mr Tyagi issued notice to Mr Rathore for November 27 so that he or his counsel could argue, if they want, on the CBI application. While issuing notice Mr Tyagi clarified that the notice was not being issued under Section 204 of the Criminal Procedure Code, meaning thereby that he was not taking any cognisance of the charge-sheet as yet. He said the cognisance of the charge-sheet, if need be, would also be taken on November 27. It may be recalled that the Shiv Sena chief, Mr Bal Thackeray, was discharged by a Mumbai court in a criminal case on the ground that the case had become time-barred by the law of limitation. |

Pay power bill to
get job, licence HISAR, Nov 18 — The Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, has said that anybody applying for a government job, driving licence, transfer or admission to an educational institution will be required to produce a no-dues certificate from power utilities. He was addressing mediapersons after inaugurating Vidyut Sadan, the new building housing the office of the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), at Vidyut Nagar, here, today. He said a notification in this regard would be issued within a day or so. This would ensure that the consumers pay their pending power bills. Mr Chautala said if the people wanted to avail themselves of facilities, they would have to pay their power bills regularly. The Chief Minister hoped that this would help recover the arrears of power bills running into crores. He said that state government agencies would continue to purchase paddy crops till the end of this month. The government would encourage the use of the drip irrigation system, dairy development programme and floriculture in the state. A delegation of agricultural experts headed by the Agriculture Minister had been sent to Israel to study these aspects. Denying the charges of Opposition leaders that many industries had shifted out of the state, Mr Chautala claimed 16 big industrial units had been set up in the state in past one year. Earlier, addressing nigam employees, he said the stability of any government in Haryana depended on the power situation in the state. The people of Haryana had voted against Mr Bhajan Lal and Mr Bansi Lal only because of power problems. Therefore, he said, his government was concentrating on the power sector. The Chief Minister said no person could steal power without the connivance of the nigam employees. He appealed to the employees to help check power theft. UNI adds: The DHBVNL envisages a plan of Rs 350 crore to strengthen the power transmission, distribution system and metering system in its area of the eight districts of Faridabad, Gurgaon, Rewari, Mahendragarh, Bhiwani, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa. The nigam will also construct a number of sub-stations from 66 kv to 220 kv level in the area, said Mr Chautala. He said that there was no shortage of power in the state but it is the power distribution constraints due to which power cuts were being experienced. The present government was supplying 576 lakh units of power daily compared to 400 lakh to 450 lakh units daily during the corresponding period of the previous government. Three schemes were being proposed for funding by the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) under the Accelerated Power Development Programme (APDP) of the union government under which complete power distribution system in Faridabad, Gurgaon and Hisar would be renovated. He said 25 per cent of the expenditure on these schemes would be as grant from the Central Government. The DHBVN had a plan to replace all old and burnt meters with electronic meters of high accuracy at a cost of Rs 100 crore by the end of 2001. This would help reduce complaints of consumers and checking the menace of power theft. The Finance Minister, Mr Sampat Singh, said that the government was determined to supply sufficient power to the agriculture sector even by purchasing from neighbouring states at higher rates. |

2 Haryana employees arrested Chandigarh, Nov 18 — The Haryana Government last night initiated action under the Essential Services Maintenance Act
(ESMA) against the 13 suspended employees following which two employees were arrested. Plainclothesmen swooped down on the houses of Mr Ramgopal Nagpal and Mr Prem Chand Chillar early in the morning and whisked them away. They were moved from place to place and finally kept at the Sector 5 police station at Panchkula. The two were booked under IPC 107 and 151 as well as under ESMA. At first they were asked to submit Rs 1.75 lakh as bail amount, but subsequently the two were released after paying a fine of Rs 5000 each. Raids were also conducted at the residences Mr Desh Raj Lamba, president of the Haryana General and Backward Classes Employees Welfare Organisation, Mr Sube Singh Yadav, secretary of the organisation. The two leaders were not arrested as they had gone into hiding. Meanwhile, a press note issued here today by the Haryana State Directorate Employees Association said that a meeting under the presidentship of Mr Pratap Singh Sangwan was held today at the place where Mr Prithwi Singh Loyal was observing an indefinite hunger strike. The meeting condemned the arrest of employees and said that such actions would not affect the solidarity of the employees. According to the press note, the meeting also ridiculed government atempt to create differences between employees belonging to general category and backward classes. It was decided in the meeting that the next course of action would be announced tomorrow. It may be recalled that 13 government employees including Desh Raj Lamba, Sube Singh Yadav, Pratap Singh Sangwan and Prithwi Singh Loyal, were put under suspension yesterday for resuming the pen-down strike from Thursday which crippled the functioning of various government departments and directorates at Chandigarh and Panchkula. While Sangwan went underground the police apparently did not pick up Prithwi Singh Loyal to avoid any clash with the employees. Meanwhile, sources here said that a petition challenging the Haryana Government’s interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement in the Ajit Singh Janjua case could not be filed in the high court today due to some deficiencies in the petition. Sources said the petitioner would comply with the objections on Monday and file the petition which would come up for hearing on Tuesday. |

Highway blues-V GT Road: It is short and crisp — often in two words and almost never more than four short sentences. It is truck literature. How else can one describe the subtle messages that the truckers get painted on their vehicles ? The saying comprises couplets penned by anonymous poets who masquerade as drivers, songs of Hindi films, old sayings and so on. The drivers pick up the ones which suit them the best. Thus Kewal Singh, a driver from Kangra district, has got “Kaho na pyar hai” painted on his truck. Even the horn of his vehicle croons the tune of the sizzling number from the Hrithik Roshan blockbuster. The youthful driver, yet to marry, said, though he did not like the film much, he was struck by the romantic appeal of the song. “Buri nazar wale, tera muh kala” (one who casts an evil glance at my truck will have his face blackened) has found itself painted on the back of innumerable trucks. “It is basically asking the fellow drivers not to be jealous if a truck is good looking and doing good business”, said Satwinder Singh Kuka, a driver from Gurdaspur. Satwinder is a frail little fellow about aged 40. Years of addiction to opium has given him sunken cheeks and a cynical outlook. He had “phir milenge” (see you) written on his truck. The message is not meant for passing damsels en route. It is actually a dig at the other truckers left behind by Satwinder on the highway. Then there are the staid ones which sound like sermons. Rest assured that these are forced on the drivers by government officials. “Use dipper at night”, which is very staid and severely devoid of any aesthetic beauty, is one such. The District Transport Officer (DTO) at Ropar is reportedly showing a rare zeal in his attempt to transform the drivers. He is making the drivers paint “papa na piyo sharab, kharid do mujhe ek kitab” (papa do not drink, buy me a book instead) on their trucks. Left on their own, the drivers would rather spread patriotic messages. Nirdosh Tyagi, a driver hailing from Panipat, had “kheton pe kisan, seema par jawan” (farmers on the field, soldiers on the frontier) painted on his truck. Tyagi was of the view that farmers and soldiers were doing the two most important jobs in the country. “Jai jawan, jai kisan”, the Lal Bahadur Shastri vintage, is also a hot favourite with truckers. The pop loving drivers are getting “I love my India”, the popular Indi-pop number, painted on their trucks. Or, they would even paint messages to promote the government’s version of progress. Pawan Kumar, from Jawala in HP, for instance, had “we 2, our 2”, an English version of the family planning slogan of hum do, humara do, written on his truck. “Abaadi is the root of India’s problems”, Kumar said. An huge amount of “truck literature” depicts intimate conversations between the driver and his truck. “Tera mera saath” (our companionship), “Tere udike” (waiting for you) and a number of other pieces fall under this category. The flip side is found in “chale to yarada, khadi to sardarda” (so long as the truck is running it is a darling, if it breaks down it is the owner’s headache). The best pieces of truck literature are the ones which are the saddest. A driver is always on the road and how is young bride is trying cope up with his absence has found its way on the back of a truck — “nadi kinare maina baithi, dana khaye chhalli da, too to ranja ban gaya driver, dil na laga akeli da” ( the birds sit at the river bank pecking at maize, my beloved you have become a driver and I miss you so much). Surinder Singh from Amritsar, the driver, is 28 and badly misses his wife as much she misses him too. A truck driver in this part of the country gets little money as salary ( the prevalent rate is Rs 1500 a month) and even if he manages to make some extra money, which sometimes becomes a compulsion, he can hardly live a decent life. Here is a poignant one which appears in some trucks, “sikhli puttar drivery, mare tere karam, roti mile kadi kadi, sona agle janam” (I have learnt driving, what a cursed luck, a square meal sometimes but sleep only in the next birth). These sentiments sum up the life of a truck driver. (Concluded) |

Computer training for govt employees NARNAUL, Nov 18 — Mahendragarh became the first district in Haryana to initiate a training programme to make all its government employees computer literate. Mr Bahadur Singh, Minister for Education, Haryana, formally launched the “computer literacy and awareness programme” (CLAP) prepared under the guidance of information technology literacy plan of the IT Policy, 2000, here today. Mr Bahadur Singh released a blueprint for the training plan of the Mahendragarh District IT Task Force on a CD-ROM called CLAP Version 1.0. Mr V. Raja Sekhar, Deputy Commissioner, Mahendragarh, made a detailed multimedia presentation on the methodology and concepts that would go into the training of government employees in the CLAP Version 1.0 module. Addressing the employees of this district, the minister stressed the need for a computer literacy and awareness programme to train government employees. He said the government would implement the IT literacy plan for its employees to achieve 100 per cent IT literacy by 2002. He said the state would establish a backbone network called “Haryana statewide area network” for voice, data and video transmission and dissemination. The network would be utilised for inter-department connectivity, multi-user and multi-service facilities, video conferencing, file transfer facility, e-mail, on-line application processing, query and response, he said. |

CPM opposes govt nod to samitis ROHTAK, Nov 18 — The CPM has strongly objected to the approval given by the Haryana Government for constituting village development samities, and has asked the government to specify the reasons that prompted it to take the decision having long-term implications. Describing the decision as controversial, the state CPM secretary, Mr Inderjit Singh, said the official claim of decentralisation of power could hardly convince anyone, especially because of the manner the proposal had been rushed through. The CPM has justified the reservations expressed by various quarters over the issue. The CPM pointed out that the existing panchayats were elected by the gram sabhas and questioned the wisdom of electing more persons or nominating them. The CPM believed that the existing elected bodies were found to be bypassed by the proposed dispensation. Mr Inderjit Singh said the present government, too, had no agenda towards decentralisation of power like the previous regimes. It had, instead, brought strange proposals for creating development samities. “In the background, the people are bound to infer that the ruling INLD is motivated by party interests rather than genuine concern for the success of the Panchayati Raj system”, he added. |

Govt to take up HC case with Centre ROHTAK, Nov 18 — Mr Ajay Singh Chautala, MP and President, youth wing of the Indian National Lok Dal today said the bar association of the state had been asked to pass resolutions in connection with their demand for setting up a separate high court for the state. He said all the resolutions would be sent to the Union Government to pressurise it to accept the long-pending demand. The youth leader was speaking at a press conference after addressing a public meeting at Dobh village, 8 km from here, today. Earlier, he inaugurated two classrooms constructed at a cost of Rs 2.14 lakh in a primary school for girls in the village. He charged the previous government of misleading the masses by announcing that the state was facing a financial crunch. He alleged that no development work was carried out by the previous government on this pretext. In response to the demands put forward by Mr Jagjit Singh Suhag, vice-president, state INLD youth wing, Mr Chautala announced that adequate water for drinking and irrigation purposes would be made available by constructing a minor and a waterworks in the village. A metalled road connecting Dobh with Sunarian Kalan village and a home for the elderly would also be constructed, besides brick-lining the village streets, he said. |

SP: police to be made
people-friendly AMBALA, Nov 18 — The new Superintendent of Police, Ambala, Mr K. K. Mishra, yesterday said that he would be laying stress on improving the image of the police by making it people-friendly. Talking to newspersons at the first joint press conference addressed by the SP and the DC, he said that they would launch a dost police abhiyan which will go a long way in improving the image of the force. “We are going to lay stress on public-police cooperation. It has been noticed that the common man is apprehensive of going to a police station but all that is soon going to change for the better," he assured. He said that he is “determined to improve the stereotypical image of the police force and make it people-friendly”. “I have made it clear that nobody is going to be called for questioning to the police station after 6 p.m. The questioning of women and children will take place at their residence,” he said. “I have directed that from 9 a.m. to 1.30 p.m., the Station House Officers will sit in their office and listen to the grievances of the people.” he said. Her said arrangements would also be made at the police station for people to sit. The new SP said that 11-member advisory committees would be formed for each police station, comprising people from different walks of life. "The advisory committees will hold monthly meetings which will be presided over by the DSP in charge of the the particular police station," he said. Regarding traffic, Mr Mishra assured that there would be no misbehaviour by policemen. “Right now, there are 45 policemen and 20 home guards who are on traffic duty. More policemen on traffic duty are needed so we are identifying areas from where policemen can be spared for traffic duty,” he said. Deputy Commissioner D. D. Gautam said that he had laid stress on improving the civic condition in the area. Lubricant
booth for ex-servicemen AMBALA, Nov 18 — The first rural lubricant/spare booth for an ex-serviceman was inaugurated by the president of the Kharga Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA), Mrs Geeta Vij, here yesterday.

Transport
companies refuse to move out PANIPAT, Nov 18 — The owners of transport companies
operating in Panipat appear to be more powerful than the district
administration as well as the Haryana Government as even after more
than 15 years of the formation of Transport Nagar, the transporters
have not shifted there and the administration seems helpless in the
matter. Transport Nagar was established 15 years ago with the efforts of the administration and it was decided that all the transporters with their offices and trucks would move there from the city. But not only did the old transporters not move out, but many new transport companies also opened their offices in the city. This resulted in congestion and traffic jams. Veterinary Hospital road, Gita Mandir road and Swastika road have been encroached upon by these transporters, hampering the smooth flow of traffic. The same is the case of the service lanes on the national highway. Even though some traffic personnel tried to take action against defaulters who park trucks in service lanes for loading and unloading, the owners of these transport companies allegedly handed over duplicate registration certificate or other papers and are reported to have declared in the open market that within an hour, the traffic personnel would surrender their papers. Moreover, it is also alleged by these transporters that they pay “suvidha shulk”, so how can they take punitive action. |

855 proclaimed offenders held ROHTAK, Nov 18 — Nearly 855 proclaimed offenders have been arrested and action initiated against at least 7,000 persons involved in disputes over land and money during the past four months in Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonepat, Panipat and Karnal districts. The IGP, Rohtak range, Mr Resham Singh, told this correspondent after taking over the charge that he had ordered districts police chiefs to launch special campaign against proclaimed offenders and bail-jumpers. Preventive action was taken against those involved in various disputes. Although there was a marginal increase in the incidents of dowry deaths — 29 this year as against 28 last year — and attempt to murder, the incidents of kidnapping had declined sharply from 46 in 1999 to 29 this year. Mr Resham Singh said beat system had been introduced in almost every police station to control the activities of anti-social elements during night. This had resulted in a decline in theft and burglary cases, he claimed. The IGP said a campaign had also been launched against smugglers, boot leggers, drug peddlers and gamblers. As a result, the police had arrested 1,099 persons under the Excise Act in the past four months and seized 39 stills, besides 14,165 kg of lahan. The police had registered 104 cases under the Narcotics Act and had seized 14 kg of opium, 12 kg of charas and 1,209 kg of poppy husk, besides about 1 kg of smack, he said. In all, 117 cases had been registered under the Arms Act. Stolen property worth Rs 2.64 crore had been recovered during the past four months. The recovery ratio was more than 70 per cent of stolen property, he claimed. |
