BPCL oil depot for Chandigarh soon Chandigarh, June 21 General Jacob stressed upon the minister that after the enhancement of sales tax by all the states, consequent on rationalisation of sales tax, the city residents due to lack of petroleum depot in Chandigarh had suffered the most. They were paying Rs 1.66 paisa per litre more for petrol compared to rate of petrol in Panchkula and 55 paise per litre more as compared to price of petrol in SAS Nagar. General Jacob said Chandigarh had to bear this CST incidence, as there was no petroleum depot within the city limits where stocks could be brought on stock transfer basis by the oil companies and sold. Impressing upon the need for early commissioning of the sale depot and starting the work on another oil depot of Indian Oil Corporation Limited, he said there was need for expeditious action on this ground. Mr Ram Naik reacted favourably to the demand and promised to take favourable action in a week or two. The Union Petroleum Secretary and Additional Secretary, Petroleum, and representatives of the BPCL and IOC were also present at the meeting. |

Keen contest in the
offing Chandigarh, June 21 Today, Mr Jagdish Arora filed his nomination for post in the office of the Chairman, Mr Joginder Singh Sawhney, in Sector 22 here. The candidature of Mr Arora was formally decided at a meeting of the group last night. The other candidate, Mr Charanjiv Singh, will file his nomination papers tomorrow — the last date for filing the papers. In fact Mr Arora, who lost to Mr Inder LaL Batra in the elections held in August 1999, took the lead in announcing his manifesto. The election was necessitated on account of the death of Mr Batra on March 23. A tough contest is in the offing this time with both group claiming majority support. In his manifesto, Mr Arora promised that if elected president, he would ensure that a special task force would be formed to check the unauthorised sales carried out in bhavans, hotels and other institutions , which were causing huge loss to local traders and the Chandigarh Administration. The administration would be persuaded to simplify the procedures for the assessment of pending case of sales tax without any harassment to the traders. Similarly, the CBM will ensure that no trader is uprooted and minimal financial burden is
imposed on them by the administration while amending the building bylaws. Efforts will be made to press for a balanced Rent Act and any clause to get the premises vacated will be strongly resisted. The manifesto said the administration would be requested to give representation to the traders in various committees. Apart from that various committees of the CBM would be formed with independent charge and office-bearer status for the effective functioning of the mandal. “A Beopar Sammelan will be organised once during the term where all traders of the city will be invited. They will be apprised of the aims and achievements of the CBM. An open discussion will be organised to know their problems and adopt remedial measures.” Another important issue listed in the manifesto pertains to the strengthening of the CBM by enrolling new members from unrepresented markets. And with a view to reinforce the financial position of the CBM an annual souvenir will be published and funds generated will be utilised for the construction of the bhavan of the mandal. A mini-directory of the members, a half-yearly bulletin of the CBM and regular general body and executive meetings of the CBM are the other prominent features of the manifesto. Similarly, national days such as August 15 and January 26 will be celebrated by the mandal, besides doing social work. The other group, which is holding a meeting late tonight to finalise its strategy for the election, will come with its manifesto in a couple of days, sources said. It may be mentioned here that the election to CBM chief’s post had become inevitable following the death of Inder Lal Batra on March 23.Since the CBM constitution nowhere mentioned what arrangement should be made after the death of the president, the current executive had virtually become defunct. The president nominates the executive after his election. Though a non-political body, the political importance of the CBM cannot be denied particularly in the context of the ensuing elections to the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh (MCC). And with the Chandigarh Administration going in for major building bylaws amendments, the role of the CBM assumes more importance in the changed scenario. The CBM is the largest representative body of the city traders and approximately 132 members are eligible to vote for the post of the CBM president. |

PGI officials mum on CBI raid Chandigarh, June 21 In fact, when contacted the PGI Medical Superintendent, Dr A.K. Gupta, went to the extent of saying that the checks were conducted without his knowledge and the CBI had not even sought his permission. “I was busy with the interviews of ward attendants,” he said. The Cath Lab comes under the supervision of the Head of Cardiology Department who is accountable to the PGI Director,” he added. A team of the CBI had conducted surprise checks following preliminary inquiry case against a senior heart surgeon. Sources add that more than 100 unaccounted stents, used for opening the arteries of the heart , besides other items were recovered from the lab yesterday. The total worth of these items is said to be more than Rs 1 crore. The PGI Director, Prof S.K. Sharma, could not be contacted as he was away to Delhi to attend meetings with the Medical Council of India and the Union Health Ministry. In his absence, acting Director and head of the Histopathology Department, Prof A.K. Banerjee, also refused to comment on the issue. “I have no information or background on these surprise checks. The Director will be back tomorrow and will give his version on the incident,” Prof Banarjee said. It is learnt that the CBI team had contacted the Deputy Director, Administration, Ms Meeta Lochan, who is also the Chief Vigilance Officer of the institute, and had requisitioned help of two PGI officials for conducting the raid. With the assistance of two officials including the PGI Vigilance Officer, stock was checked and unaccounted for consumables seized and sealed. Meanwhile, the Head of the Cardiology Department, Dr Anil Grover, also could not be contacted as he was on his annual vacation. And his second in command and in charge, cath lab, Dr A.K. Bali, is not in India. When contacted, Dr Puneet Verma, holding charge of Cardiology Department, said that he was merely looking after the patient care and the clinical aspects of the department and was in no position to comment on the surprise checks. “I was in the OPD when the checks were initiated,” he added. Refusing to comment any further on the subject Dr Verma said, following information given to him by the technical team of the Cath Laboratory, he had talked to the DDA who asked him to cooperate with the investigating team. Meanwhile, work in the PGI Cath Laboratory today continued as normal and a few diagnostic including two angiography procedures were also carried out.

‘India’s Most Wanted’ helps nab
fraud Chandigarh, June 21 Twentyeight-year-old Rajeev Aggarwal was wanted by the Crime Branch of the Delhi police for fraudulently withdrawing and decamping with Rs 33 lakh from the bank account of
J.B. Exports Ltd, where he worked as an accountant. He had remained untraceable for the past two-and-a-half years despite a series of big advertisements in leading national dailies. Immediately after the telecast of the episode featuring Rajeev Aggarwal on June 17, the Mumbai police received a tip-off from a student who said she knew where to find this man who was five-and-a-half feet tall, had a longish face, a wheatish complexion and a medium build. It turned out that this absconding youth was comfortably working in a Mumbai firm for a long time. Inspector Anil Naik of the Mumbai police immediately put the target on watch and contracted Manoj
Raghuvanshi, the producer of the TV serial. Unwilling to trouble a possibly innocent person, Mr Naik wanted full details of the man and his case. He received the wanted man’s picture on e-mail from the IMW office in Delhi and also from the Crime Branch, Delhi police. To be doubly sure, Mr Naik also collected a video tape of the episode from Nitin
Bhardwaj, the programme’s executive producer, in Mumbai. Finally, the Mumbai police crime branch identified and formally arrested Rajeev yesterday and asked the Delhi police to proceed to Mumbai to take him on remand. |

39 colonies suffer insanitation Panchkula, June 21 Inadequate streetlighting, irregular cleaning of roads and mushrooming of ‘jhuggis’ have made life difficult for those who live in the 39 colonies of the complex. The roads need urgent repair work, while the absence of road berms and footpaths irk pedestrians. “Inadequate streetlighting has become a serious problem in view of growing insecurity and insufficient police patrolling. We have hardly ever seen a policeman in our locality that has only one police post,” says Mr Deepak Rai Walia, a resident of Kuteer Co-operative Society. Another resident of one of these societies, Ms Neena Malik, says, “After shifting to this place from Chandigarh, I have found the sanitary conditions to be worse here. There are hardly any garbage bins in any housing society here and I have not seen any garbage-collection truck in the area so far.” Polythene bags containing garbage continue to grow and stray animals contribute to the growing mess in the societies that are a stone’s throw from the Mata Mansa Devi shrine. Stench of rotting garbage is all over the place, while stray animals litter these the garbage everywhere. The roads here are rarely cleaned. Stagnant water in pits that have been dug along the railway line to check encroachments has become a health hazard. These have become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and damaged some water-supply pipelines. The spread of congress grass in open spaces and a growing slum are evidences of the indifferent attitudes of the authorities concerned. “Though individual complaints to officials provide temporary relief, residents are trying to organise themselves to find a permanent solution to the problem,” says Mr A.K. Bhalla, who has approached the Haryana Urban Development Authority several times in this regard. |

MURDER MILES Chandigarh This crossing is the scene of at least three or four minor accidents every day, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. This is the time when hundreds of workers employed in the factories in the Industrial Area also rush to their places of work (9.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m.) or return to their homes (5.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m.) Police records show that so far this year four major accidents have taken place at this point and three persons have been seriously injured in these accidents. All these accidents involved heavy vehicles like trucks or buses and light vehicles such as scooters, rickshaws and cycles. In a recent collision between a cycle rickshaw and a tractor-trailer, the rickshaw driver was seriously injured. The rickshaw got overturned after being hit by the tractor. Uncontrolled speed is, most of the times, responsible for the accidents. In this case, the tractor was being driven at high speed. This junction marks the end of Chandigarh and the beginning of the highway and most of the drivers tend to press on their accelerators. Also, with Madhya Marg closed to heavy vehicles for the better part of the day, the flow of heavy vehicles here has increased and so has the number of accidents. The Tribune Chowk has earned the distinction of being the most accident-prone area in the southern part of the city. Lopsided deployment of the traffic police in the southern sectors encourages the drivers to ignore the traffic rules. This disregard for the rules makes the traffic chaotic even when it is not heavy. Disorderly driving often leads to accidents. The newly constructed slip road connecting Dakshin Marg with Purv Marg at this chowk is often closed for one reason or the other, by placing drums on the road. The absence of reflectors on these drums makes them invisible at night and a number of accidents have taken place on this account. A police vehicle is permanently stationed here but the policemen come into action only to deal with an eventuality and do not seem interested in taking preventive measures to avoid accidents. |

Road to Sectors 31,
47 to be doubled Chandigarh June 21 A demand in this regard was made by the Punjab Government at the recent coordination meeting. The UT authorities had told their Punjab counterparts that the matter was being taken up with the Union Ministry of Surface Transport
(MoST) and Rs 4 crore was being sought. This had been agreed upon by the ministry. Once this road is ready it will allow people coming from Ambala side to turn left and reach Sector 66 to join the road which goes up to
Kharar. Thus, avoiding the city traffic within Chandigarh and also in SAS
Nagar. Truckers may also be asked to use the same road, sources say. The link from Tribune chowk to Sector 66 becomes all the more important as the existing road from Sector 66 up to Kharar is also being widened to carry more traffic. At the moment the stretch from Tribune chowk to the junction of Sectors 31 and 47 is
two-laned with traffic moving on either side. In Sector 47-B no road link exists. To create this will require a major landfill before a road is constructed or construction of a bridge. Besides, the road adjoining Sector 48 b and c will requires widening. |

SSP’s appeal to
public Kharar, June 21 Mr Bhuller was addressing a sangat darshan programme in the nearby town of Kurali here this afternoon. He appealed to the public to speak truth and inform about any anti-social element and said that their information and names would be kept secret and immediate action would be taken in this regard. Talking about cases of various drug abuses among youth, he said the police alone could not raid chemist shops without the Drug Controller. He said this issue was raised at the meeting with the Chief Minister, and said that the latter has agreed to give powers to SMOs and gazetted officers of the police to raid and check any chemist’s shop. He hoped that such a notification would be issued soon. He asked people not to allow their minor children to drive any vehicle, which they were not authorised to drive. He asked them to teach their children to respect the law of the land. He said in many cases, complaints of dowry were being misused. He appealed to the masses to lodge “factual complaint” to the police. He advised them to give information about their tenants and servants to the police. Mr Ujjagar Singh Badali, Mr Dhani Ram, Mr Ram Raj Singh and Mr Rupinder Singh, DSP, Kharar, were also present on the occasion. |

Mayor cancels
Sec 7 market visit Chandigarh, June 21 Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Mr Goyal said the programme had been suspended as the House of the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh(MCC) functioned today and there was hardly a need for such a programme now. He also alleged that the BJP had opposed the programme, which was one of reason for the cancellation of the programme. However, he said he would continue to visit the different parts of the city to redress the grievances of the people. Meanwhile, the CVM chief, Mr Harmohan Dhawan, claimed that the business in the House was transacted today as the manch had launched an agitation to remind the councillors of their
responsibilities towards the citizens. The manch had “gheraoed” the councillors and organised the “chetavani scooter rally” to ensure the working of the MCC. He congratulated the residents without whose support the Mayor would not have cancelled programme aimed at “befooling” the people. |

FENG SHUI
TIPS In this piece, I am going to describe the design of the Bank of China which has a controversial architectural form. The bank has its building in Hong Kong and is an outstanding example of Feng Shui. Its building is a skyscraper whose upper parts are triangular. The design creates sharp and bold edges. When the edifice was completed, the general idea and opinion in Hong Kong was that it was a disastrous piece of architecture that bode ill for the future of the bank. On the contrary, the design is most ingenuous. Viewed in relation to the surrounding buildings, the Bank of China building rises like a fire in a forest. Most of the nearby buildings are tall and rectangular while its triangular shape distinguishes it. In short, thanks to Feng Shui, the bank is destined to be a leader in investment banking and rise to great heights of power. The bank was given wings by the buildings surrounding it. The principles of the bank building can be applied to any other professional building. The most important thing to keep in mind is which element rules the business or the business house in which one is employed.
