Salaries take the lion’s share of PU budget Chandigarh, March 21 The budget comes up for discussion in the Senate meeting on March 25. The estimated budget for 2001-2002 is of Rs 7728.02 lakh. It also features additional demands worth Rs 152.86 lakh, sources said here today. Prominent reasons for budget enhancement on salaries include increased salary bills due to pay revision, annual increments and increase in number of retirees besides others. The increased budget also includes additional demands from various departments. It also proposes Rs 10 crore for the Voluntary Retirement Scheme. Government has also been repeatedly asking the varsity to generate its own resources which is a significant development especially during times of cash crunch. Despite a Panjab and UT Administration guarantee of 60: 40 funding of the finances, it has been no easy job of PU to manage grants. Sources said the university had marked Rs 382.15 lakh in the name of additional grants, but the government opposition to the move led to nearly 60 per cent cut in the total. The revised budget estimate for 2000-2001 is 6987.54 lakh. The actual income of the university has been more by Rs 5 crore than what was estimated. It gathered Rs 2345 lakh against the planned Rs 1828 lakh. Main contributors for the university budget include entrance examination for the B.Ed course, it increase in the fee structure, registration and re-evaluation fee and increase in fee from the contestants in the graduate constituency of the university Senate, besides others. The university budget also shows its move the contributing back to the expenditure done out of the fund bag higher education on infrastructural development earlier, only the interest generated on the amount in this fund was supposed to be spend. The budget shows that Rs 824 lakh were deducted from the income of 1998-1999 for paying back to the Higher Education Fund. But no contribution was paid back to the fund. The main reason ascribed is that the fund release from both the funding agencies was less than requirement. The budget this year figures Rs 914 lakh to be deducted as contributions from the income and Rs 1152 lakh for the forthcoming session. |

Discussion on new courses Chandigarh, March 21 The council is also likely to discuss the syllabus for the course in Defence Studies. The timing of the meeting in Marchm, which is well before the forthcoming academic session, is a commendable effort in the wake of the existing situation when the meetings usually staggered to middle of the year. One interesting item is a proposal of reintroduction of a postgraduate degree course in defence and strategic studies from the forthcoming session and the second year in the subsequent session. The course existed till 1998 when the university decided to discontinue the course amidst protests from various quarters. One question was that the course existed at the graduation level and its removal from the postgraduate level was not befitting. Out of 21 items listed for the meeting, one pertains to introduction of courses in Bachelor in Library and Information Science and MA (Sociology) in the Correspondence Department from the forthcoming session. New courses on the list of discussions at the meeting include MSc (Statistics) in Mathematics Department, BSc (Bio Technology) and BSc (Computer Science). Also on the agenda is a letter of the ADPI (Punjab) dated August 30, 2000, asking PU for introduction of NCC as an additional or an optional subject. The university also proposes to introduce Bachelor of Computer Applications (honours) and Master in Information Science from the forthcoming session. A graduate seeking admission in MA (Psychology) should have opted for the subject at the graduation level. Earlier, students of philosophy who were also eligible would no longer qualify for admission. One item refers to a proposal by Principal Tarsem Bahia that Punjabi be made compulsory at the graduate level in arts and first years of BCom, BCA and BBA. For admission in the BEd courses, a candidate needs to have secured at least 50 per cent at the graduation level. A postgraduate needed only 45 per cent but the candidate should have opted for at least two teaching subjects of the school while appearing at the graduation level. |

Admn nets over Rs 59 cr
from liquor vend auction Chandigarh, March 21 Chart indicating the rise in revenue through auction of liquor
vends 2001-2002 59.22 2000-2001 58.68 1999-2000 54.34 1998-99 51.24 1997-98 54.58 1996-97 44.99 1996-95 37.07 1995-94 35.16 1993-94 30.22 Note: in 1997-98, prohibition was in force in Haryana This marginal hike is being seen as a ‘‘good job’’ among excise officials as the auctions in Punjab and Haryana have fetched amounts less than the bids offered last year. In neighbouring Panchkula and SAS Nagar, the auctions are yet to be held, besides Rajpura and parts of Ropar. The entire trade is affected as rates in contiguous areas should be more or less the same to prevent smuggling of liquor. Just like last year, the vends were auctioned in five groups carved out of geographical location of the vends. In two groups, the auction went below last year’s bid but the revenue was made up with the other three groups bringing about a hike over last year. One of the groups which were auctioned at lesser rates than last year were the group of vends in Sectors 22, 35,20,34 and 21. This year, the bid was Rs 5.21 crore, down from Rs 5.39 crore last year. The other group to suffer loss was of the group of vends in Sectors 32, 46, 31, 47, Kajheri, Badheri and Palsora. The group was auctioned at Rs 8.25 crore, as against Rs 8.76 crore last year. The successful bidders deposited 5 per cent of the bid money as security amount at the fall of the hammer. Another 5 per cent will be deposited before March 31. Another 2.5 per cent of the bid money will be deposited till April 7. The rest of the money is recovered over the entire financial year as vend owners keep on making sales and depositing the money. The auction was conducted by Mr Prithi Chand, SDM Central cum Collector Excise, at the Tagore Theatre. The bidding process was completed in about 90 minutes. The observer from the Chandigarh Administration was Mr K.A.P. Sinha, Joint Secretary Finance.
Woman steps in! A woman bidding for control of liquor trade! An odd and an amazing sight, yet true. A local resident, Ms Mohinder Kaur, created history in liquor trade in this region as she and her company stepped into a typically male bastion by successfully bidding to control a portion of the Rs 100-crore liquor trade in the city. Her company will be controlling one group comprising about a dozen liquor vends in the union territory. Ms Mohinder Kaur was actually forced to enter the field as her husband, Taranjit Singh, a liquor trader, died last year. Surprised excise officials confirmed that never before had a company headed by a woman bid in liquor auctions. |

House tax assessment survey soon Panchkula, March 21 Sources said the tax would vary between Rs 2,000 and Rs 9,000, depending on the size of the plot and value of the property. For a 25-year-old 10-marla house with constructed area of 1125 sq ft, Rs 794.53 will have to be paid. Formula for calculation of house tax Total value of property = (total constructed areax300)(100-age of property) + (size of plotxcollector rate) (TVA) 100 Special concession of 50 per cent on TVA = (TVA) x (50/100) Depreciation cost=TVA1 x (5/100) Maintenance cost=DCx (10/100) Annual value after the concessions= DC - MC House Tax= AVCx (10/100) The Administrator, HUDA, also holding additional charge of Administrator, Municipal Council, said the employees of the computer agency entrusted with the task of getting information would go from door to door, handing over assessment forms to the residents. “We have specified the formula for determining the cost of property which the residents can themselves verify, thereby ensuring transparency in the process. Following this assessment, the owner will be notified the tax to be levied on his property,” he added. After this, the residents will be given a month’s time to file objections, if any, and a hearing will be held, and once the proceedings are completed, the authorities will begin issuing notices for house tax by July. According to details provided by the office, the tax will be evaluated on the cost of construction added to the cost of the land. A valuation fee of Rs 300 per sq ft has been evaluated for buildings with concrete ceilings and Rs 150 per sq ft for those with wooden ceilings. For residential area, a special concession of 50 per cent will be given on this amount, which will not be in case of commercial property. Out of this, the depreciation and maintenance cost will be deducted. The council will levy a tax of 10 per cent on this amount. The notification for house tax exempts mosques, temples, churches, dharamshalas, gurdwaras, charitable hospitals and dispensaries, orphanages, alm houses, drinking water fountains, municipal buildings and land, Muslim graveyards, Hindu cremation grounds, Christian cemeteries, imambaras, government nazul lands under the management of the committee and government agricultural lands which are cultivated and assessed to land revenue. While all newly constructed buildings for a period of three years will be calculated from the date of completion, those residential buildings and land where annual value does not exceed Rs 1200 will be exempted. Besides, all buildings and lands owned by religious, educational or charitable institutions, duly registered, non-transferable and providing services without any charge to the community, as also residential buildings and land owned by widows and 100 per cent handicapped persons, provided they have no house elsewhere in the state, will be exempted if the annual value does not exceed Rs 2400. The notification also exempts all buildings and land owned by ex-servicemen or families of the deceased soldiers and ex-servicemen with no house elsewhere in the state and residing in it themselves. The formation of the council had stirred a hornet’s nest, with residents opposing the move tooth and nail for fear of imposition of taxes. Also, the arbitrary approach in evaluation of cost of property was a cause of concern. However, to the relief of residents, the process of calculation has been specified in the forms, enabling the residents to calculate taxes on their own.

BOTTOMLINE Chandigarh, March 21 This year the Akademi has given away awards in three categories — film, song and classical dance. While Raj Babbar was awarded for giving much-needed lift to Punjabi cinema, Gurdas Mann was honoured for his sensible strategy of blending the rich Punjabi folk music with the contemporary tunes. Ms Koser was honoured for her contribution to the classical dance in Punjab. The awards, given away by the Punjab Chief Minister, constituted a citation, a shawl and some cash, along with the pencil sketch of the respective winners prepared by Rahi Mahinder Singh. The occasion was well begun and well concluded, excepting those bits of apprehension which the gathering had to bear on account of the late arrival of Mr Raj Babbar. He was delayed due to murder of a close friend at Agra last night. The actor still managed to reach Chandigarh. |

Craze for petrol stations, gas agencies
declines Chandigarh, March 21 Growing competition, diminishing returns and the impending decontrol of the petroleum sector appear to have combined to curb to a large extent the mad rush for such licences in the region. Prospective owners who were willing to spend lakhs of rupees to acquire licences are no longer as enthusiastic, according to well-informed sources in the public sector oil companies. Petrol stations, gas agencies and kerosene outlets have always been looked upon as sure money spinners. They require modest funds, limited management skills and are viewed as a safe investment with assured returns. Little wonder, there has always been a great demand from all and sundry for them. It is not uncommon to come across instances where considerations other than merit are alleged to have weighed with the powers that be while making the allotments. A few years ago, two former Union Ministers, Capt Satish Sharma and Mr Buta Singh, were hauled up by courts for the injudicious allotment of petrol stations, etc. In a bid to regulate their allotment and bring about transparency in the procedure, the Government of India constituted oil selection boards for different states which invite applications, conduct interviews and make the allotments.The boards are headed by retired judges of the high courts of various states. There are at present 53 oil selection boards in the country. Punjab has two while Haryana has three. They advertise in newspapers from time to time to invite applications and conduct interviews for making allotments in accordance with a plan drawn up by the public sector oil companies. On an average, 15 licences are given in a month. According to informed sources in the oil selection boards, there has been a definite fall in the number of applicants for petrol stations, gas agencies and kerosene outlets. The decline has been up to 40 per cent in the case of gas agencies and between 30 and 40 per cent in the case of petrol stations. There are only a few takers for kerosene outlets. A government move to open gas agencies in village clusters has not succeeded because they are not considered viable. Despite an elaborate system put in place by the government for the allotment of petrol stations, gas agencies and kerosene outlets through the oil selection boards, loopholes remain. Every time an oil selection board invites applications for the allotment of a petrol station, a gas agency or a kerosene outlet, its officials are swamped with calls from MLAs, MPs, Ministers, Chief Ministers and even Central Ministers, “recommending” the case of one prospective allottee or the other. Little wonder, most of the allotments are later challenged in courts and become the subject matter of prolonged litigation. |

Moderate showers in city Chandigarh, March 21 The rain is being caused by western disturbances over Jammu and Kashmir coupled with upper cyclonic movement over Haryana. Reports have come in from Himachal Pradesh indicating widespread rain, Mr S.C.Bhan, Director of the local met office, said tonight. Rain has also lashed plains in Punjab and Haryana. Light showers in the city and its peripheral areas provided relief from a prolonged dry spell. Throughout the day sky was cloudy as the maximum day time temperature was recorded at 28°C, 1° below the normal average for this time of the year. The rain was recorded at 3 mm. |
Admn refers to records for assessing loss Chandigarh, March 21 While the colony dwellers and their leaders maintained that the number of jhuggis gutted was more than 250, a quick survey conducted by the Estate Office staff revealed that only 80 to 90 jhuggis were gutted that night. The police and fire staff had earlier undertaken an exercise to ascertain the loss incurred but had to give it up since the dwellers were telling exaggerated numbers to claim more compensation. Even as 3 to 4 persons were sharing a
jhuggi, they were claiming that each of them had a separate jhuggi. The Chief Fire Officer, Mr
G.S. Bajwa, said further investigations had revealed that the fire was possibly caused by a burning mashaal when it fell on one of the
jhuggis. The dwellers were dancing with burning mashaals as part of some celebrations. The fire was caused by a spark and the hutments being made of inflammable material, the fire spread in no time. The loss was calculated to be to the tune of Rs 3 lakh as each jhuggi dweller on an average had belongings worth Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500. The Station Fire Officer, Mr
S.K. Gosain, had been asked to verify the alleged complaint of misbehaviour by the employee on duty at the Industrial area fire station with the colony dwellers. Action would be taken on the basis of the report submitted by him. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, district : 4, Chandigarh, criticised the UT Administration as well as the Municipal Corporation for their indifferent attitude towards the jhuggi dwellers of Industrial Area-Phase-I. In a joint statement, Mr Shashi Shanker
Tiwari, district president of BJYM, Mr Harishanker Mishra, president, labour colony cell, BJP, and Mr Rajan Srivastava , mandal secretary of mandal 15, said officials of the Administration and MC were giving false assurances. They demanded that every jhuggi dweller should be given Rs 50,000 as compensation. They further alleged that the fire station, situated hardly 50m away, failed to save a single
jhuggi. They later met the Deputy Commissioner, who assured them that the Administration would make arrangements of milk and bread for children but nothing had been done so far. The MC had also not taken any steps to level the surface. Officials maintained that wood and dry rations were being provided to them for their meals. The UT Red Cross had also given them clothes and other daily-need items. |

Speed thrills many, kills
19 Chandigarh, March 21 In spite of an active traffic police and the “overdrive” launched by them to preach road safety to the denizens of the city, it has reportedly served little purpose. The deaths of the two 16-year-old Class IX students in Sector 38 yesterday, is another example where rash and negligent driving proved fatal. Though the police claims that the number of fatal as well as non-fatal accidents and the people killed on the roads this year is less than the number of people killed during the same time last year, the number of such deaths still remain high. The figures available from the Chandigarh Police show that as many as 19 persons have been killed on the city’s roads till date this year. In fact this month alone, as many as four persons were killed, including the two boys, Rahil and Charandeep. As many as 15 persons were killed in 14 fatal accidents that took place in the various parts of the city during the first two months of this year. Other than this, around 64 non-fatal accidents took place this year and around 90 persons have been injured. As compared to this, in 2000 120 persons were killed and 453 injured. Till this date, nearly 80 persons were killed in 16 fatal accidents last year. Ninety persons were also injured in more than 60 non-fatal accidents. It may be noted that the traffic in the city has been increasing at a massive rate. Around 5.5 lakh vehicles that have been registered locally ply on the roads in addition to around 1 lakh other vehicles that ply on the roads entered from the neighbouring satellite townships of Mohali and Panchkula as well as the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana. The police claims that the congestion on roads is also largely responsible for the accidents. The police has also identified various points where most accidents occur like the TPT Light Point, Railway Light Point, Sukhna Choe Bridge, near Hallo Majra, near Cricket Stadium, Mauli Jagran brick-kiln, Piccadily Chowk, Shahpur Chowk and the Sector 17-18 Light Point. The SP, Traffic and Security, Mr Balbir Singh, when contacted, said the police had been making efforts on its part to create road awareness. |

Dy Mayor meets
Jacob Chandigarh, March 21 They pointed out in the memorandum that EWS category houses in Bapu Dham and tenement houses in Ram Darbar Phase II and Sectors 29, 30, 34, 37 and 38 were allotted on hire purchase basis to allottees on easy instalment and sought that even those whose allotments were not on hire-purchase basis be allowed to pay in instalments and the registry of all those who have deposited all their instalments be done. The said colonies, it may be recalled, were settled by the administration under the rehabilitation scheme. They also demanded that further land evaluation must be done in Bapu Dham Colony Phase I, II and III, Dhanas colony, Karsan colony and other colonies . The plots should also be made available under hire purchase scheme and owners be given ownership rights. Besides this, the facility of getting house registries on power of attorney basis should be extended to colonies also.They also sought more funds for the development of colonies, to improve the condition of roads, arrangements of water, electricity, sanitation and sewerage in these areas. Mr Kala has further demanded that notices issued by MC under Section 415 of the Act be retrieved because the construction of these houses undertaken 35-40 years back were not objected to by the erstwhile panchayats and Notified Area
Commitee. |

Two MC officials to relinquish charge Chandigarh, March 21 According to information available, the Chief Engineer, MC, Mr Puranjit Singh, will be officiating as the Chief Engineer, UT, following the retirement of the incumbent, Mr RK Jain, on March 31 and is likely to succeed him after the Departmental Promotion Committee meeting in April.

He is due for promotion as Chief Engineer in Punjab following the DPC meeting. Sources reveal that SE (Construction Circle), Mr VK Bhardwaj, is likely to succeed Mr Puranjit Singh. Mr Swaran Singh Kamal, Executive Engineer, Public Health-2, is likely to be appointed in place of Mr Manmohanjit Singh. |

Front constituents fail to
work out joint strategy Chandigarh, March 21 With the elections to the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh(MCC) slated to be held later this year, the local constituents of the front — the Communist Party of India, Marxist (CPM), the Communist Party of India(CPI), the Janata Dal(S) and the Samajwadi Party(SP) — have till now failed to get their act together. In fact the parties reportedly have failed to work out a joint strategy to expose the “failure” of BJP-SAD alliance in the MCC during the last four years and that of the Congress during this year. These constituents at the best play a marginal role in the local politics and do not have any elected councillor in the civic body. Besides this, they have even failed to put up a united agitation against the BJP-led government in the wake of the government’s alleged dubious role in the defence deal as exposed by tehelka.com recently. The CPI, the CPM and the JD(S) held a rally here on March 20 to “expose the misdeeds of the culprits caught red-handed by the website”. The SP woke up from its slumber rather late and organised a rally in Sector 20 yesterday to demand the resignation of the Atal Behari Vajpayee government for its role in the defence deal. Acting smartly, the party organised the agitation coinciding with the visit of cinestar Raj Babbar, who is also in charge of the party affairs for Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. Mr Babbar is here in connection with the award-giving ceremony by the Punjab Sangeet Natak Akademy. It may be recalled that the People’s Front was formed under the leadership of the veteran CPM leader, Mr Jyoti Basu on March 15. Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav, SP chief, was named the convener of the front. Sources said the front, a resurrection of the erstwhile United Front, was likely to have limited success, if the past record of its constituents was any indication. |

Action against NDA Govt
sought Chandigarh, March 21 a statement issued by the RRD chief, Col Harsharan Singh (retd), decried the incompetence of the Central Government to detect security lapses not only in the case of Kargil intrusion but also in the the current case of corruption in the Ministry of Defence and the PMO. He said the RRD did not want a change in the government as it would lead to horse-trading.
Meanwhile, members of the Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Janata Dal , led by their local leaders held a protest rally at the Tribune Chowk here yesterday. A number of members of these parties gathered near the Central Poultry farm in Industrial Area in the evening and marched to the Tribune Chowk. The leaders demanded that the NDA Government should quit honorably for its failure to prosecute the corrupt politicians, who were found guilty following the exposure of corruption in the government. They added that the shameful drama on TV exposed by tehelka.com website, had bared the ugly face of leaders of the BJP-led NDA, and had also shaken the confidence of the people. The rally was addressed by the secretary of CPI, Mr Devi Dayal Sharma, Mr Inderjit Singh Grewal of CPI(M), the general secretary of Janata Dal (Secular), Mr Rajendra Mohan Kashyap. The industrial workers of various unions affiliated to CITU took out a rally here yesterday to protest against the anti-people policies of the Central Government. The rally started from Sector 1 here and ended at the office of the Labour Inspector, Parwanoo. The workers raised slogans against the Central and State Governments. While addressing the rally, Om Dutt, the district president of CITU, Sloan, said rampant corruption in Central Government had endangered the security of the nation. |
