‘No favour shown’ to DLF
Universal Chandigarh, May 28 Responding to charges levelled by RPI MLA Karan Singh Dalal at a press conference here on Saturday, a spokesperson of the Haryana Town and Country Planning Department claimed that the Cabinet had revised the commercial licensing policy. “The Cabinet which met here on September 29, 2000, had revised the commercial licensing policy by including V-I roads also for commercial licenses along with V-2 and V-3 roads and therefore, no special relaxation was granted to DLF as mischievously alleged by Mr Dalal”, the spokesman said. The statement added that similar commercial establishments were allowed to be constructed by many colonisers and developers prior to 1997 also in the shape of regular commercial component on the national highway with provision of service road (in residential sectors). HUDA had also set up its City Centre (commercial sector) in Sector 29 at Gurgaon on the national highway going to Jaipur which was also a V-I road in the development plan, it said. |

Sirsa, May 28 Stating this here today, the Deputy Commissioner, Mr Ankur Gupta, revealed that the college would be constructed on 20 acres which had been gifted by the village panchayat.

Mr Chautala had then conceded to the demand and assured them to open a polytechnic college in the village if the panchayat provided land for it. Now, the panchayat had passed a resolution to donate 20 acres and to name the institute after former Deputy Prime Minister, late Chaudhary Devi Lal. According to information, the Chief Minister would also hear public grievances of the Assembly constituency at PWD rest house on May 30. Mr Chautala would also preside over a meeting of INLD MLAs and party office-bearers at Welcome Palace on the Barnala road.

chief Sonepat, May 28 Inaugurating a two-day state-level convention of the morcha on the premises of Shri Ram Krishan Sadhna Ashram at Murthal village, 8 km from here, yesterday, he said Mr Chautala should not interfere in the internal working of the BJP. He alleged that for his self-interest, Mr Chautala was bent upon creating instability both in the state and at the Centre. The BJP leader said the uplift of the downtrodden was being given top priority by the NDA government and the strength of ministers belonging to the weaker sections of society had increased in the Union Cabinet. He criticised the BSP and its Chairman, Mr Kanshi Ram, and Samajwadi Party leaders for misleading people belonging to the Scheduled Castes regarding the revision of the Constitution. Nearly 100 delegates from all over the state are taking part in this convention. Most of them raised the Tehelka issue and wanted clarifications on it. |
