Fragrant love blooms
again Chandigarh, March 24 All these days Soleha and her chums had reluctantly turned away from the garden, in disappointment. Had started visiting Sukhana Lake. The crowd was better there. At least the burly sons of the soil were not bathing in the open. Solena had even managed to pick up a few trophies of love. But it was out of the way. Otherwise also, for three years now — ever since they had taken their plus two examinations — Soleha’s gang had been visiting the garden. Had triumphantly enjoyed the feeling of “being loved” as appreciating eyes had followed them to every nook and corner along the blooming beds of red and gold. They had watched with satisfaction the electrifying effect created on the stubble-faced guys every time their fair artistic fingers had smoothened the fluorescent peddle pushers. “Their sighs of appreciation had drowned the whisper of the cool morning breeze blowing soft across the trees,” says Sector 15 resident Zubeida. “All those hi’s and wow’s were encouraging. Good for the ego.” That was all before the garden was seized by the naive farmers. The result of the invasion soon became apparent. The Don Juans and Cassanovas disappeared, along with the jogging Cleopatras. “Hungry eyes of the cops posted for protection, along with the questioning stares of farmers, dazzled by on-the-ground fashion shows, did scare away the youngsters,” asserts retired sales manager with a pharmaceutical firm Nand Kishore. Along with them, Mark Tullys of Chandigarh also vanished from under the rejuvenating shade of dense green trees. The screaming and shouting had made it impossible for them to discuss the Tehelka episode and other political developments. Today, the absence of barricades on the road separating the Rose Garden from the Sector 17 was an indication to the crowd that normalcy had returned. In groups, they came. To savour delicacies after spreading white sheets on the grass in the afternoon, away from the testimony of “stygian nights”. This was not all. As Solena utters, “Fragrant love once again bloomed in the Rose Garden after being nipped in the bud by the farmers”. |

Liquor contractor booked SAS Nagar, March 24 The officials of the special team said the liquor was being sold in Jammu and Kashmir and other neighbouring states by the henchmen of the contractor. Though police officials rule out chances of the liquor being spurious, samples of the seized brands have been sent for testing to Patiala as the chances of adulteration were not denied by the officials. Giving details of the seizure the Senior Superintendent of Police, Mr G.P.S. Bhullar, said the Station House Officer (SHO), Mr Sukhwinder Singh, and the Excise Inspector, Mr Hardev Singh, seized a truck ( PB-12 8955) which was coming from the Manauli village side. A case under the Excise Act and Sections 420 and 34 of the IPC has been registered against the suspects. The seized liquor was worth around Rs 6 lakh. Sarwan Kumar and Ashok Kumar alias Baba, occupants of the truck, revealed that the contractor was moving ahead and was instructing them on a mobile phone. The liquor was being brought from a godown. More information about the modus operandi of the smugglers was expected, said a police official. They said that few months back also, the local police has booked the same liquor contractor in a case of smuggling of 400 cartons of liquor. Investigations by the police revealed that two similar cases of smuggling of liquor in Lakhanpur police station of Jammu and Kashmir had been registered against the contractor last year. He had then escaped In connection with the cases, a team of the Jammu and Kashmir police today reached the town to arrest him. |

Challans presented against
eight Chandigarh, March 24 According to the police sources, the embezzelments were committed between the years 1993 and 1995. The police sources said Rajbir Singh, sales officer, used to sell lottery tickets to the seven agents on the cash credit and forged records to embezzle the amount in connivance of the seven accused. The police sources claim that an embezzelment to the tune of Rs 2,25,70,032 has been committed by the eight persons. The case was registered against them on the complaint of Mr Kishore Lal, Superintendent in the office of the Director Haryana State Lotteries, Sector 17, on October 7, 1996. The case was being investigated by the Special Crime Cell of the local police and later investigations were done by Mr B. B. Bector, Deputy Superintendent of Police.

BOTTOMLINE Chandigarh, March 24 The Government College for Girls, Sector 42, has an STD booth on its premises. After 5 pm, when the hostel gates are closed and no resident is allowed to go out, the booth owner shifts the telephone line to the hostel which is available till 9 pm. The residents are allowed to receive calls but they have to pay Rs 5 for each call received. “We have to send for the girl. It is a fee for that.” says an STD booth employee. But there is a public announcement system in the hostel. All that needed is to call out to the resident on the P.A. system. “It was my birthday the other day and I had to spend more than Rs 100 to receive the calls. Why can’t we have a telephone in the hostel?” she asks. The situation is worse in the Sector 11, Government College for Girls. The hostel gates are locked at 5.30pm. There is STD facility in the college but no one is allowed to call after the gates are closed. “This creates a situation where there is no incoming or outgoing communication in GCG-11 after 5.30pm,” complains a resident. The warden has an intercom link with the Principal who is contacted in case of an emergency. “Why can’t we also have an STD manned by women in the hostel complex after 6 pm? At least we can then call our parents,” asks another resident. The situation is slightly better in some other colleges. Khalsa College for Girls, Sector 26, has a telephone in the hostel which the residents can use. This hostel which also accommodates girls of SGGS college also has the STD facility which can be used as long as the hostel gates remain open. MCM DAV College hostel has the STD facility which operates from 7am to 9pm. It is manned by women. Although no one can receive calls, in an emergency, the warden receives messages for the residents and passes these to the girls concerned. All the three wardens have access to telephones. Similarly, at Government Home Science College, Sector 10, the residents are allowed to stay out till 5 pm after which they can go up to the gate where an STD booth remains open till 9.30 pm. There is no telephone in the hostel for the students, but the two wardens have a telephone link with the Principal. “Every hostel should have a telephone which the students can use. If we can pay the STD man Rs 5 for receiving a call, we are also ready to pay the college Rs 2 for making a call.” says a resident of GCG-42. “The boys have no problem, they can go out and make calls at any time of the day and night. We are being penalised because we are girls. In fact, we should have better facilities because we get locked in the hostel after 6 pm. And we are also not allowed to use mobile phones.” says a resident of GCG-11. Most of the Principals maintain that STD and telephone facilities are not provided beyond certain hours for security reasons and to avoid a nuisance. Yet after 10 pm, the world outside closes on these residents and in an emergency they depend on how soon the warden is able to get across to the Principal. |

FILM
REVIEW VERTICAL LIMIT (Kiran, Piccadily — Hindi dubbing) is not just a breathtaking journey laced with constant dangers of mountaineering but is a visual glory of the world of snow mountains, which give a perfect setting to an adventure story of scaling the K2 mountain in the Himalayas. When a team of K2 climbers led by a ruthlessly determined young woman (Robin Tunney) sets out to reach the K2 top in inhuman weather conditions, a series of escapades of near-death of the lead stars and death of the fellow mountaineers keep one at the end of the seats. The leader Robin Tunney’s brother Chris O’Donnel follows the team when adverse weather conditions result in disruption of regular communication between the trekkers and the base camp. Special effects and a picture of invincible human strength in adverse condition promises to live up well with expectation of all and thrill-lovers in particular. Great care has been taken to show virgin lands of snow which render authenticity to action. At 28, 250 ft, K2 is the world’s second tallest mountain. No more than 100 climbers have managed to scale the peak and many have died on its steep slopes. In most of the scenes New Zealand’s Mountain Cook is a stand-in for K2. To get some original footage, Roger Vernon and three other photographers travelled to the base camp in Pakistan. They set on a 14-day trek to get a “never before captured film footage” of the area. The original team getting trapped under snow, a rescue team landing on a cliff amidst rough weather and hurricanes are only a few among the most thrilling scenes. Martin Campbell has directed Vertical Limit. The story written by Robert King and Terry Hayes has been produced by Marcia Nasatir, Lloyd Phillips, Martin Campbell and Robert King. The lead cast includes Scott Glen, Bill Paxton, Izabella Scorupco and Chris O’ Donnell. VERTICAL LIMIT is not merely a human drama, but a collection of rare scenes of life at dreamt heights. CHHUPPA RUSTAM: (Jagat): A rather long delay in release has curbed the initial crowd interest quite naturally in a typical Bollywood thriller. The Sanjay Kapoor-Manisha Koirala starrer is a story of trying times. Anand Bakshi lyrics have been set to tune by Anand-Milind. A rather average show, the film also stars Dalip Tahil, Tinu Anand, Raj Babbar and Laxmikant Berde. The Seven Arts film is directed by Aziz Sajaaval. |
HUDA allottees seek
clarification Panchkula, March 24 “Our plot, SCF 141 in Sector 17, was resumed by HUDA after the Chief Administrator turned down our appeal for delay in making payment. We don’t know who did it and with what motive. We are no longer owners of the plot and have nothing to do with the receipt found in the files,” Mr Jawahar Bhatia, a relation of the allottee, said. In an application to the Administrator, HUDA, the allottees have sought a clarification on the proceedings to be initiated against them and presented proof of resumption of the said plot. It said that the plot was taken in resale in 1988 but resumption proceedings were initiated against them and they received a resumption notice from the Estate Office, HUDA, on August 10, 1992. “Before the notice, we had already spoken to the Estate Officer who had assured us to suspend proceedings if we deposited a part of the total amount which we did on August 9,” Mr Bhatia said. When the case came up for hearing during appeals with the Administrator, HUDA, it was rejected and a subsequent appeal was filed before the Chief Administrator. In 1996, this, too, was rejected and the plot stood resumed. “The receipt carries the date of July 1992, when actually proceedings for resumption were initiated only in August. Also, we were busy with the appeals and there was no question of depositing Rs 5.95 lakh. There has to be some conspiracy in the matter from within HUDA,” the allottees alleged. They informed that since their appeal had been turned down, they did not feel the need of informing HUDA of change in residence. Not finding them at the address declared in their records, HUDA assumed the party had absconded. Meanwhile, the Administrator, HUDA, Mr Shrikant Walgad, has called the allottees on March 26 to hear their side of the story. |

Commission agents fleece farmers IT is ironic that the commission agents, who form an important link between the farmers and the buyers of their produce are the ones causing hardships to the farmers and giving them nightmares. Caught in the vicious debt trap several helpless farmers have committed suicides. The agrarian economy of Punjab ensures that maximum number of farmers dependent on commission agents this way revealed when this reporter talked to a number of farmers protesting here at Matka Chowk. “The government has no scheme to help us tide over difficult times or to get funds for children’s marriage, education and other household problems. Thus, we have no alternative but to take loans from agents and because of these we end up selling our crops according to the rate decided by them” said the president of the Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta), Mr Rachpal Singh. Gurdev Singh Dardi, state executive committee member of the Punjab Kisan Sabha, said, “No proper financial aid scheme was there for the farmers, if adequate steps were not taken soon then many more farmers may commit suicide”. “We are totally dependent on the commission agents and government should take note of our problems.” Mr Kulwinder Singh Barich, resident of Nawanshahr and a member of the Kirti Kisan Union, complained that nexus between the government agency and commission agents led to the exploitation of farmers. The agencies were not buying the crops as per the rate fixed by the government and the farmers were helpless and had no other option than to sell their produce to the agents. Mr Harmesh Singh, from Hoshiarpur, member of the state committee of the Kirti Kisan Union, said, “Inspector of the agencies always claim some fault in the crop, and many times refuse to buy it. Although after the invention of the commission agents the agency always agrees to buy the crops but at a much lower rate”. Sukhdev Singh, from Amritsar, member of the Punjab Kisan Sabha, said many times government agency never turned down and we have to sell wheat and paddy to the private agencies at a much lower price. The government must do some planning to save the future of the farmers as we have to face this problem every year. Punjab Kisan Sabha, general secretary, Mr Lakhbir Harman, said “the condition of the farmers is same as in the pre- independence era, rather it has become worse. The cost of production has increased manifold, however, there is no proper channel for the farmers to get the right price of their hardwork. It is very difficult for us to survive on farming.” “Only after three or four years do we get our payments. There is no proper system to sell sugarcane. Maximum number of sugarmills are on the verge of closure. We have no choice other than taking loan from the private agencies or from the commission agents”, added Kartar Singh, an activist of the Kirti Kisan Union.

‘MSP hike, a cruel joke’ Chandigarh, March 24 In a written statement, Mr Cheema said in spite of all efforts, diversification had not took place and the farmers had to depend largely on wheat and rice rotation. Hence, the increase of Rs 30 from Rs 580 to Rs 610 per quintal was a face-saver rather than a help to the
farmers. |

Is City Beautiful really ‘beautiful’? Chandigarh, March 24 Mr M. Ramshekhar, Deputy Commissioner, raised this question pointing to eyesores which were regularly growing on the face of the planned city. He was addressing a workshop on ‘Problems of migrant labour’ at the ICSSR Complex of Panjab University here yesterday. The plans for home and sanitation for the poorest amongst the poor have gone haywire due to encroachment in the city. He said a large number of workers who worked in adjoining towns like Panchkula, SAS Nagar or even Baddi travelled back ‘home’ in the city each evening. They were hopeful of getting a permanent settlement here. Mr Ramshekhar also referred to residents of these areas as a big vote bank during elections. This definitely affected the political-will for a strict action. He also dwelt on a big problem where the people who were allotted the residence sold off their home within months. There were jhuggi mafias who took care of the issue of occupying more space for selling. The DC showed photographs of parts of the city full of filth. Dr Gopal Iyer, convener of the workshop, while agreeing to the problem of the city said studies revealed disturbing features of the migrant settlement in the city. Prof Veer Singh, chairing the afternoon session, said there was the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, asking for Rs 500 as minimum wages. The Indian Constitution does not find reference to the migrant labour wages. Earlier during the day, the police and the legal angles to the issue were discussed. Among others who spoke on the occasion were Mr S.V. Singh, ADGP (Crime), who spoke on “Migrant labour and crime”, Dr K.P. Singh, an IPS officer, who spoke on “Migrant labour and crime in Haryana”, and Dr Bharat Bhushan Parsoon, Member Secretary of the State Legal Services Authority, Chandigarh. |

Road cleaning machine
displayed Chandigarh, March 24 The machine, manufactured by a Samrala-based company, is claimed to be capable of cleaning a 2.5-km stretch of road in an hour. It sucks in almost everything from glass pieces, nails and even small stones. The cleanliness of the city, particularly the main roads, is likely to improve once the machine is bought by the Health wing of the MC. The machine will be used to clean the major roads as it is not easy to manoeuvre, besides sprucing up the footpaths and parking areas even at night. Besides picking up the filth, big brushes will spill water and wash the roads. |

Resignation of
PM sought Chandigarh, March 24 Addressing a press conference here, the CTCC president, Mr BB Bahl, also demanded the registration of FIRs and criminal cases against those named in the expose. The expose has lowered the image of the country in the international community. Demanding the prosecution of the former Defence Minister, Mr George Fernandes, for violating the oath of secrecy, Mr Bahl informed that the Congress would start protest on the issue from tomorrow by organising the corner meetings. A massive protest rally would be organised in Sector 17 where national-level leaders of the party would participate. Answering a question whether the Congress, whose leaders had allegedly been involved in the shady defence deals in the past, had any locus standi to demand the resignation of the Central Government, Mr Bahl quipped that nothing had come out of the investigations into the Bofors scam even after several years. |

Tiffin trend catching
up WHAT does a person miss when he is staying at a home away from home? Of course, mom’s food! Home tiffin caterers in the city are trying their best to fill the void in the life of such people. With their better services, home caterers have customers like professionals, students and even families. Students and other professional people who are staying in the city alone depend for meals in the various city rehri markets and other such places. There are some ‘singles’ who cook food themselves. But a majority of them belongs to the former
catogery. And the ‘home alone’ do not mind if someone promises them ghar ka khana at compatible prices. Sensing this, some of the city residents started supplying packed tiffins right up to the doorsteps of the individuals. Risham Pal Singh, proprietor of a Sector 18-based caterer who claims to be the first caterer in city, revealed: ‘‘Some 11 years ago my mother hit upon an idea that supplying food to home-alones’ could be a potential business’’. According to him, they started approaching various potential customers and today ‘‘the customers are coming to us.’’ Unlike the market food, which is generally oily and spicy, the food provided by these caterers tastes better. The caterers are providing meals to individuals with their own taste. If a customer wants only boiled food, the caterer gives him only boiled food, and on the other hand if he demands spicy food, the customer will not get a chance to complain. Door-to-door catering has also become a good source of income for many housewives in the city. A Sector 22 based housewife said, ‘‘I am supplying packed food to about 25 students’’. Interestingly, even families are ordering their regular meals from the caterers. Ms Vichatar Veena Vats, a bank employee, orders meal from a caterer for the entire family. Ms Vats said, ‘‘My son is mentally and physically handicapped and I am a working lady and I have no other option but to order food from outside’’. A Sector 15-based caterer said that most of the customers are students. He claims, ‘‘I provide good food at very compatible prices’’. The only problem with these tiffins are that the food gets cold while its way to the customers’ doorsteps. Ashish
Shanghi, an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, said, ‘‘The food generally gets cold but I have a gas stove and I warm it up’’. But he say that the food is generally
good. Mr Charan Das Chadh (90), who retired as a assistant secretary, prefers the home delivery for himself and his wife. These home caterers are indirectly providing a sort of safety also. The loners do not need to keep a servant to cook. Interestingly, people subscribe to a home caterer after being recommended by acquaintances. But recently the caterers have started advertising in local newspapers and through handbills. |

READERS
WRITE The increasing incidence of crime and the inaction of the police has brought into focus the need for a review of the security system in city. The police maintains that the uncontrolled inflow of migrants has contributed to the rising crime graph. But it will be wrong to deny that the police has not been able to keep a strict watch on illegal activities in the labour colonies. A local court was approached in 1999 for a complete ban on the entry of migrants in the city and their removal from public places but the Chandigarh Police did not support the cause for reasons best known to it. Still the police should cooperate in checking the inflow of migrants in the city. The police should also hold regular meetings with sector welfare societies and encourage them to keep vigil in their areas and bring any untoward incident to the notice of the police. This will also improve the image of the Chandigarh Police in public mind. It will also help the police to understand the problems of different areas. Street play groups can also prove useful in making the housewives and children aware of the security measures needed in their houses, and the modus operandi of the criminals. A newsletter highlighting the good actions of the police ( if any) may be distributed among the residents for building better relations between the police and the public. ARUNJEEV SINGH WALIA Speed breakers Our speed-breakers defeat the very purpose for which these are built because of indifferent maintenance. After a few days, the white paint on them disappears and they pose a danger as the grey of the speed-breaker merges with the grey of the
road. So it is not seen but only felt when the vehicle passes over it. Every now and then, one witnesses accidents, some minor and some serious ones, on this account. If the speed-breaker is made of some fluorescent material or white cement or is painted regularly, the situation can be corrected. In fact the speed-breakers should be done away with as the concept is out- dated and even harmful. Two speed breakers in Panchkula’s Sector 6 have led to many accidents and need immediate attention of the authorities. HARISH KHANNA Consumer’s woes The Government of Punjab has reduced the sales tax on pulses, LPG, kerosene, tractor parts etc. and given full exemption to sweets. Now the common man expects a suitable reduction in the prices of these commodities. It is unlikely that this reduction in the sales tax will be passed on to the end users. The rates of pulses change daily. Hence it is impossible for the common consumer to work out the sales tax component. Even after the notification, there has been no reduction in the prices of sweets and the sweets-sellers continue to charge the old rates. When told about the reduction in ST, they justify their prices on the plea of better quality and the high cost of inputs. However, the prices of the ingredients used in making sweets have come down by 10 to 20 per cent in the past six months. But no such benefit is passed on to the consumer. Every trade has its lobby at the local, regional, state and national level and these lobbies work in unison and all share the cake. Only the consumer’s case remains unheard. The Government should ensure that the benefit is not pocketed by the traders and is passed on to the consumers. A P BHARDWAJ Burning leaves Leaves can easily be turned into one of the best forms of manure. It is a dream manure for anyone with green fingers. It is criminal to waste the fallen leaves by burning them, as is done on our city roads every day. This also becomes a major source of environmental pollution. Besides causing pollution, the leaf-burning exercise also results in damage to metalled roads.Molten tar is deformed at such hot spots, making the road uneven. As it is, it takes ages for good roads to come about. Bonfires of dry leaves and trash are often made under trees. Left untended on the sidewalks, the residue damages the trees and the surrounding vegetation. There is the added risk of these fires spreading and causing damage. There should be clear instructions regarding the disposal of dry leaves and trash, and some official ought to be assigned to ensure that these instructions are strictly followed. VIVEK KHANNA Police image Police officers are generally shown in a poor light in T.V. advertisements. A negative image of the police is also shown in films. As if this was not enough, a T.V. advertisement has shown a woman police officer kissing a criminal. The authorities should take action against such vulgar scenes shown on the T.V. H.
