SPECIAL STORY Chandigarh, June 29 Sources said after getting the water samples tested by the Public Analyst, the government authorities shot off a letter to the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh, asking it to take immediate measures to check presence of this heavy metal in water. The Public Analyst, Haryana, found that water had high doses of nickel. The MC got the water samples tested at Idma Laboratories Limited, where the results were found to be more alarming than suspected. When contacted, officials at the Idma Laboratory refused to divulge any information or to comment over the issue. The MC is now trying to hush up the whole matter as it does not want to spend huge money on setting up of a treatment plant which can remove nickel content from water, alleged sources. The status of ground water in Chandigarh must be studied and evaluated because it is being suspected to have become contaminated due to indiscriminate dumping of hazardous waste, they add. It is also suspected that sources of the water supply in this area is the tubewells around the city. The superintending engineer, MC (Public Health), says,. “Chandigarh is supplied with canal water and cannot have a high content of nickel. The Public Analyst, Haryana, has made a mistake. We have got the water samples tested from our own laboratory and this confirms it ,” he adds. Experts, however, say the dumping of hazardous waste in an unscientific manner in and around Chandigarh may have led to seeping of nickel content in the ground water. Hazardous waste is a main source of pollutants in the water. A few months back, Chandigarh Tribune had carried a story on how in the absence of a proper hazardous landfill site, city residents could face a serious threat to their health and untold damage to the surrounding environment as huge amounts of highly hazardous waste generated by small and medium industries in Chandigarh is being dumped indiscriminately in open areas in the city The Chandigarh Pollution Control Board Member Secretary, said there was absolutely no chance of presence of nickel in the drinking water. “Chandigarh gets in supply from the Satluj and some natural nutrients called micronutrients may be present, but these are essential part of the potable water. In Chandigarh, even the ground water does not have any chances presence of nickel,” he asserted. |

85 Inspectors promoted ITOs Chandigarh, June 29 The promotions come in the backdrop of the Income Tax (IT) Department cutting down on its clerical and grade-IV staff and increasing the strength at the higher levels to meet the emerging demands of revenue generation and prevention of tax evasion. Vacancies resulting by the increase in the authorised strength at higher levels would be offset by promotions from lower ranks. While 8,000 posts of lower division clerk, data entry operator and other allied jobs have been abolished, the net reduction of its staff would be about 2,500 or 4.75 per cent of the existing staff strength. Sources at the IT Department say that promotions of Deputy Commissioners as Joint Commissioners have also been cleared by the Delhi-based Central Board of Direct Taxes, but the list of promotees and their subsequent transfers is yet to be received here. Further, about 70-80 ITOs from this region are expected to be elevated to the rank of Assistant/Deputy Commissioner. Following the overhaul of the department’s personnel structure, the revised authorised strength of officials to be posted in this region at various levels has been received here. While the post of Administrative Officer has been newly introduced, with 45 officials to be posted in this rank, the strength of all non-clerical and non-ministerial posts have been increased. The sources reveal that the north-western region will have 72 officers at the level of Additional Commissioners and 135 officers at the level of Deputy/Assistant Commissioners. The strength of ITOs has been raised to 313, while the strength of inspectors and office superintendents has been revised to 645 and 135, respectively. With the commissioning of massive information technology project and computerisation, the department visualises to spruce up its functioning and be more assessee-friendly. The job of calculating tax and refunds, if any, would now be done by computers, with certain parameters being fed into the system. While the department expects to be inter-connected with all regional setups and higher establishments through a wide area network (WAN) within two years, the assessees
would be able to file their returns via e-mail in another three years or so. With the interlinking of IT establishments via the WAN, local authorities would be able to keep track of the assessees’ transactions in other parts of the country, thereby enabling them to keep tabs on sources of income and consequent tax, which earlier went undetected. Meanwhile, there has been a record annual increase of Rs 113 crore in the collection of income tax by the Chandigarh circle, the Punjab Governor, Lieut-Gen J.F.R. Jacob (retd), was informed by the Chief Commissioner, Income Tax, Mr J.S. Ahluwalia. The collection rose from Rs 245 crore to Rs 358 crore. The Governor had been invited to the locally based income tax offices to have a look at the newly introduced computerised record-keeping process. He was also given a presentation on the changes and overhaul process in the department. General Jacob was informed that it was mandatory for the department to keep records of returns filed during the past 10 year. The earlier manual record-keeping process was time-consuming, besides occupying a lot of storage space. Computer-based records have now been segregated according to the ward, range and year of filing of returns. The exact location and details of a specific return can be accessed by a click of the computer mouse. The job of computerisation of the records was accomplished in 45 days. The Chief Commissioner said the Chandigarh region was having about 1.70 crore assessees out of which about half were from the salaried class. Since salaried employees constituted about 50 per cent of the tax base in this circle, the department’s efforts have been focused on providing prompt and conducive service to the salaried class. The Governor also visited the Revenue Building in Sector 17, which houses the headquarters of the Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, and interacted with senior departmental functionaries. |

Subscribers
fume as ‘cable war’ hots up Chandigarh, June 29 According to sources, the accidental cutting of the underground cables laid by BSNL by certain private telecom operators is cited to be the main reason for the telephones going dead. And the absence of any coordination among the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh (MCC), the agency which gives permission for digging to lay cables to the private operators, BSNL and private operators, has only added to the woes of the telephone
subscribers. The Tribune has been flooded with written complaints by the BSNL authorities regarding the snapping of telecom links to several areas,
allegedly due to digging by private telecom operators. BSNL sources revealed that with MCC and the private telecom operators not sticking to the “code of conduct” of informing in advance about their digging schedules, BSNL had to bear the brunt. If the department was intimated in advance, the damage to the underground network could be minimised as after damage it took days together to repair the fault. Telecom links in the area near Ghazal restaurant Sector 17 had been lying disrupted about 15 days now where over 50 telephone connection were out of order. Similarly, an underground cable of 800 pairs size feeding Sector 35 had been damaged by careless digging by a private firm while laying cables opposite AIR building in Sector 34. Not only that, over 400 phones in the Punjab and Civil Secretariat area had been lying out of order on account of careless digging. Similarly, over 100 telephones of Attawa and Sector 42 having been laying dead as underground cables were cut while a road was being widened in the areas. The sources added the problem would continue to persist as there was no coordination among different agencies. The problem would worsen in the days to come as the monsoon had already set in. The dug-up areas will become virtually death-traps as it would be difficult to fill them in the rainy season. It may be mentioned that it was not for the first time that such disruptions had occurred. Last year, 40,000 connections of Panchkula were disrupted when Himachal Futuristic
Communications Limited (HFCL) had cut underground cables of BSNL. BSNL had then even registered an FIR against the company. |

Strike by Archaeology Dept staff Panchkula, June 29 They said that the fight for recovery of all their “treasures” would continue even if the department chose to take action against them. They alleged that Mr Malik was only complying with the rules laid down for the employees by not letting the Governor, Punjab, Lt Gen JRF Jacob, inspect the store at the site of the Bheema Devi temple in Pinjore. Meanwhile, the suspended Deputy Director, Mr Malik, said that he received intimation from the Director of the Chandigarh museum of the Governor’s visit while there was no information from the side of the state government. He said that he showed the Governor around the place after which he demanded to inspect the stores. “According to rules, I am not supposed to show the store to anybody without permission. I was only doing my duty and have been ‘rewarded’ for that,” he rued. |

The existing arrangement of the department providing electronic meters on demand and charging the monthly rental would, however, continue. |

Burail —
Corbusier’s nightmare Chandigarh, June 29 In many places the street and road surfaces have almost vanished for want of carpeting. The road is also marked by cracks and depressions, that make a ride on this road bumpy and risky. Even after a short spell of rain, the pothole turn into cesspools. Unhygienic conditions prevail all around and can lead to diseases like jaundice, diarrhoea, cholera and other water-borne diseases. To add to the problems cattle and pigs can be seen roaming all over the place, leading to accidents. The residents also have to suffer acute shortage of water, power cuts, poor sanitation and drainage system. Burail was among 22 villages which were the part of Union Territory. But in July 1997 Burail alongwith three other villages was included in the area of Municipal Corporation and presently it is in Ward Number 10 of the Municipal Corporation. When this correspondent contacted villagers a number of them said they had written a number of complaint letters to the Municipal Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner and the UT Advisor to improve the condition of the village but the officials had failed to take note of their problems. Finally, the villagers had approached the Governor of Punjab and requested him to visit the village last week. Ms Manjit Kaur Sandhu, president of the Young Democratic Federation of India, said “after the inclusion of the village in Municipal Corporation in 1997 not even a single penny has been spent on the development of the village by the MC and the Administration”. Ms Prem Lata, a teacher, complained that the absence of a circular road near government primary school and Shiv mandir was a big problem and heaps of garbage near the school were very unhygienic and dangerous for small children. She added that there was no road in the village and during the rainy season the kuccha passage used by more than half of the villagers took shape of a canal of garbage and dirt. Ran Nath, another villager, complained that there was no entry point to approach the road to the village. The villagers were facing great difficulty while entering the village. It is just impossible to enter the village in a car or scooter. Mohan Singh complained that the villagers were facing discomfort on account of irregular water supply, low water pressure and polluted water. When this correspondent contacted the Mayor, Mr Raj Kumar Goyal, confirmed the said problems in the area since he had visited the village recently with other senior corporation officials. He said he had already directed the officials concerned to look into the problems. He
assured that the corporation would solve the problem within a month. |

Roundabout
or death-trap? Chandigarh, June 29 The roundabout of Sectors 37, 38, 41 and 40 is quite unsafe and becomes a virtual death-trap due to poor riding surface dotted with potholes and depressions, the residents disclose. According to Mr Sudesh Kumar, “The ride is very bumpy and risky. If one ventures to go from Sector 14 towards Sector 40 and 39 on a two-wheeler or three-wheeler, one cannot escape the experience of getting 30 to 35 jolts.” Another resident points out that a 5 feet 3 inch wide pit near the round about has resulted in various accidents, particularly at night, when the drivers fail to notice due to non-functional streetlights. A former executive engineer, Mr J. Tiwari, discloses that the problems is aggravated during the monsoons, when rain water accumulates in the pit and the surrounding potholes and those driving on it often fall prey to it. Since the road is badly broken from many places, many cases of people sustaining head injuries after falling from a two-wheeler near this roundabout have been reported. Prof R.P. Chaudhry, a senior lecturer at DAV College, Chandigarh, who travels from Sector 39 to Sector 10 daily, also highlights the problems experienced by them in going across this crossing smoothly. Many a time, people just escape skidding. The residents of the area, who are rather sore with the MC about its proper upkeep and maintenance, point out that heavy volume of traffic to SAS Nagar and Kharar moves through this roundabout. A resident discloses that since no separate space has been provided for the local buses to stop, there is lot of congestion when a CTU bus stops at this roundabout and often results in serious accidents. A few others point out the threat that is posed by the vehicles of the VVIPs residing in Sector 39 as they move at high speed along this uneven surface. The danger is more at night when people of the nearby areas come for a stroll here after their meals and the rush often leads to accidents. The residents have demanded that the civic body should take immediate steps to remettle the entire roundabout with latest techniques. While the residents blame the MC for their apathy, a senior official says the work has been held up due to constraint of funds. He has assured that the repair of the said crossing will be undertaken shortly to avoid any mishap. |

Pitiable
condition of roads SAS Nagar, June 29 Entrepreneurs running small-scale electronic units in the area have been running from pillar to post to get repaired a section of the road in front of their units, especially from plot No 645 to 655. The newly constructed road was damaged due to plying of trucks, carrying earth for the ongoing work on the Chandigarh — Ludhiana rail link to nearby Kambala village. The problem aggravated after recent rain, resulting in road blockage “To make the road usable, earth was dumped on the road by the contractor carrying out the work on the railway line. This further damaged the road”, said Mr
R.S. Virk, Managing Director of a unit manufacturing electronic weighing machines. Other entrepreneurs manufacturing electronic gadgets are equally concerned as they have to park their vehicles away from their units.
Inquires reveal that a water supply line along the road was damaged due to the plying of trucks. After repairing the water supply line, the civic body did not fill up the trenches. Mr Virk said his unit, exporting electronic weighing machines, was expecting his foreign collaborators. “What impression will they get after they see the condition of roads,” he asked. The affected entrepreneurs have represented to the Punjab State Electronic Corporation and president of the civic body. Even the Municipal Engineer of the civic body visited the site but the problems persist. The entrepreneurs now plan to apprise the Punjab Governor of the problem. |

Plan to beautify roadsides Chandigarh, June 29 According to a press note, the species like
maulsari, millettia and beringtonia will be given beautiful shape by lighting. These plants have beautiful foliage and good capacity to absorb the pollutants, including dust. Mr Ishwar Singh said the burning of leaves and other waste material would be discouraged in future as it not only caused air pollution but also damaged trees and affected their growth. The kiosks and advertisement boards would be removed from the trunks. Individuals and commercial organisations, displaying such boards on the plants would be dealt with sternly. While giving information regarding forestry, he advocated that all government, non-governmental organisations and citizens should take the necessary steps to maintain and protect the plantations by preparing a proper maintenance and watering schedule. In Chandigarh certain trees are either dead or eaten up by the termites and were in the process of dying. Some “imli” trees along the Sukhna Lake have died and dried up, giving an ugly look to the area. These will be removed to create a second crop of good-looking trees, he added. |

OUT IF
you have an exotic taste or if you want to be posh, then Imperial Resorts is the place for you to visit. This new hospitality venture has come up on the Chandigarh-Zirakpur highway, next to the Nevedac Prosthetic Centre. Based on the farmhouse concept of Delhi, the outfit promises a resort, a banquet hall and a multi-cuisine restaurant. It is a stylish place for parties, conferences and shooting of movies. Opening on July 2, the restaurant gives one an opportunity to savour some delightful dishes of Thai, Chinese, Continental and, of course, Indian cuisine amid three lush green acres of landscape and waterfalls. I revelled in the rich gastronomical delights there at the inaugural bash held on its spacious lawns on June 23. You should dine in the gazebo made of exquisitely fabricated wooden branches and enclosed in a waterfall. For lunch, maybe the air-conditioned environs of the restaurant, done up in wrought iron and colourful leather furniture and giving a view of the cool greenery, could be preferred. As for the food, you have a vast array of items to choose from. And to help you decipher the international menu are English-speaking waiters and the captain. Over a bowl of yummy Tom Yum soup, Varinder Chauhan, and B. S.
Shashi, chefs, explain that Thai cooking basically comprises three curries — red, green and yellow — cooked in special spices and sauces. And these are teamed with either chicken, lamb or fish or an assortment of vegetables like Chinese broccoli, beans, bamboo shoots, beans, baby corn etc. These make good eating with rice. Mr J.J. Singh, Director of the resort, says that since the appeal of Thai food is the use of spices, herbs and seasonings, the sauces used in preparing this food are imported from Thailand to give it the right flavour. The Imperial special is chicken in white sauce with almond and cashew curry. Chicken sataye, chicken honey and chicken or veg chilli basil or Thai fish cake (fried minced spicy fish served with siracha sauce) are the snacks that you can pick from. Among the Chinese delicacies are the ever popular talomein, minchow and hot ‘n sour soups, noodles, rice spring rolls, Manchurian, chilli panir, cheese balls etc. Tortillas with salsa sauce, stuffed mushrooms with sour cream, chicken stake with saffron rice and panir shashlik are some of the Continental delicacies that tingle your palette.
