Mayor’s election: BJP to field candidate Chandigarh, July 24 A decision to this effect was taken at the BJP councillors’ stormy meeting held today at Mr
O.P. Goel’s residence under the chairmanship of the BJP leader of the House, Mr Des Raj Tandon. The meeting was attended by all 13 BJP councillors, besides the party president, Mr Dharam Pal Gupta. Before the meeting, it was being speculated that the BJP would seek fresh election following the dissolution of the House, but contrary to this, a majority of the party councillors were against the dissolution. However, a few were of the view that the fresh election was the best solution. According to reliable sources, heated arguments marked the start of the meeting. The councillors belonging to the Jain group came down heavily on the party president, Mr Gupta, and the leader of the House, Mr Tandon, for allegedly giving statements in the media and talking about policy decisions without taking all party councillors into confidence. They pointed out that before discussing the possibilities of the House dissolution and fresh election with the Commisioner, the party leaders ought to have discussed the same at the party level. Infact, statement pertaining to the BJP thinking in terms of supporting the acting Congress Mayor, Mr Gurcharan Dass Kala, also did not behove these leaders. Mr Tandon, said the party would contest in the forthcoming Mayoral election. After the Congress misrule of seven months, we now once again got an opportunity to prove to the public in the next four-and-a-half months what we could do for the development of the city. He further said in the forthcoming meeting of the House on July 27, all pending issues would be dispensed with. No new agenda item, except informing the House about the Mayor’s resignation would be added to this. The next meeting would be held only to elect the new Mayor. Mr Tandon said the decision regarding the party candidate would be taken only after the election schedule was notified by the Administration. “The party in charge, Mr
Kohli, had asked us to send a panel of three names, but we are keen to take this decision in the presence of Mr
Kohli. For this, either he will come to the city in the next few days or if need be, we shall go to Delhi,” he added Sources disclosed that though Mr Tandon did bring up the issue of forming a panel of possible names, but the same was opposed by the Jain group councillors, who said they would do so only in the presence of the party in charge for they were doubtful of the same being leaked to the media much before. It was further learnt that Jain group councillors were of the view that those BJP councillors, who had earlier occupied the post of the Mayor, the Senior Deputy Mayor or women and Scheduled Caste candidates, who had occupied the said post during the years reserved for them in this tenure, should not be considered among the probable candidates for the election this time. It was also being considered that the general seat should go to a male councillor for the first year of the next term which had again been reserved for a woman candidate. The panel should include the names of the remaining councillors. Sources also disclosed that to begin with Mr Tandon was trying to elicit the view of every councillor on the possible dissolution and the fresh election, but the same was strongly opposed by the Jain group councillors, who were in favour of the majority decision to fight the election. The Jain group councillors were of the view that why should the BJP, which was the majority party in the House, shy away from the election and seek the dissolution of the House. However, a few councillors suggested that it would be a better proposition to go in for mid-term election in consultation with the Union Home Ministry. At the meeting, which lasted over two hours, the Jain group councillors, who were on the offensive did not leave any opportunity to attack the Gupta group councillors. They even criticised the attitude of the party president on various issues. Even though the party has decided to contest the election, nomination of the candidate is not going to be easy because of the rampant differences between the two groups. The party was united on the issue of opposing the Congress Mayor, Mr Raj Kumar Goyal, but that had ended with his resignation and both groups have once again come face to face with each other Reacting on the issue of the Akalis fielding a candidate for the post of the Mayor, they said they stand no chance with a mere strength of one in the House of 30 councillors. They should be content with the post of the Deputy Mayor, which had been given to them for the past five years. |

Toxic effluents hit soil fertility Rajpura (Patiala), July 24 A number of channels which discharge their toxic effluents into the rivulet makes its water frothy and stinking. Apart from various industrial units in Chandigarh, SAS Nagar and
Banur, some villages also discharge their sewers into the rivulet. Following this, the underground water table along the rivulet has got polluted and other tubewells not getting water from the rivulet in this belt are pumping out sub-soil water. Experts say the toxic contents of the polluted water have reduced the fertility of the soil and the yield of the seasonal crops have observed a drastic decline for the past over 10 years. Irrigation of fields with the water has not only posed a serious threat to human life, but also to animals and vegetation which have been consuming the toxic effluents in one way or another. Residents complain that various water-borne diseases, specially jaundice, are common in this part of the district. Unaware about the toxicity of the water, the farmers even let their cattle graze on the nullah-bed and drink the black-coloured water form there. This has further put the lives of innocent cattle at stake. Veterinary doctors are of the view that consumption of the toxic water and the fodder by milch cattle has reduced their life span. The milk yield has also reduced for the past over 10 years. The farmers of this belt, from Chandigarh to Sarala village near Ghanour in Punjab, have installed over 600 tubewells for irrigation after drawing water from the rivulet. Thick cover of foam is a common sight at the points where the water falls from some height. Sources in the Punjab Drainage Department reveal that the tubewells have been permitted by the authorities and set up under the supervision of the departmental employees. A majority of the
tubewells have been set up for irrigation and the toxic water pumped out often destroys the crops. The area is of farmers growing cash crops, particularly vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage, carrot, turnip, radish and ladyfinger. ‘‘The black-coloured filthy water of the rivulet is suitable for these vegetables. The plants bear more fruit in short time. The size of the fruit is also large,” claims Mr Piyare Lal, a resident of Dhakansu village. Mr Ram
Chand, a resident of Jansua village, complains that the rivulet carrying polluted water has become a health hazard for villages located along its banks. |

3 hurt as tanker catches fire Chandigarh, July 24 According to sources, the fire broke out at around 11 pm and fire tenders were rushed to the spot as soon as they received intimation about the fire. The onlookers from nearby factories, who had informed the fire authorities, disclosed that the fire had spread out right up to the road berms of the road infront of the factory in no time and the fire tender had to begin by extinguishing the same. The owner of the firm, meanwhile, rushed the victims to the hospital for treatment. The fire fighting operation, which lasted for over one-and-a-half hour was carried out under the supervision of the Station Fire Officer, Mr S.K. Gosain. Four fire tenders, one each from the industrial area I and II, Sectors 17 and 32 were pressed into service from two side openings of the factory since the magnitude of the fire was alarming due to the highly inflammable liquids. The firemen had to break open the locks of the main gate to enter the factory. Mr Gosain disclosed that a major tragedy had been averted since the timely action of the firemen prevented the oil tanker parked inside from bursting. The firemen had a tough time battling out the flames in the drums and eventually used the smothering technique to extinguish the same. Besides using eight cylinders of foam, the supply of oxygen was also cut by putting wet cardboards on these drums. Meanwhile, the onlookers said the fire was possibly caused by electrical short-circuit in the main cable, which subsequently spread to the tanker burning its tyres and later to the drums lying on a corner. The factory premises and the good inside were also partially damaged by the fire and during the fire fighting operations. At least 12 firemen and a team of police personnel swung into action to put off the blaze. |

School board revises fees again SAS Nagar, July 24 The
registration fee for new candidates and continuation fee for the
matric and senior secondary examination, remain unchanged. The
revised examination fee, ranging between 10 per cent and 13 per cent,
will be applicable to those appearing in the examination for the
academic session 2001-2002. The revised fee structure of middle,
matric and senior secondary annual examination is likely to be taken
up in the next meeting of the finance committee of the board. Even
after the revised fee, the board will be able to generate over Rs 3
crore additional revenue. Despite the rollback, the new examination
fee structure is still on the higher side as compared to the education
boards of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and the UT. Fees of different
examinations had been hiked earlier, citing inclusion of two more
subjects in the examination, including an additional subject. The
subject of physical education had been made compulsory for middle and
matric students. Middle class candidates have to appear in eight
subjects, with a total of 800 marks, against 600 marks earlier. In
case of regular and private candidates appearing in the matriculation
examination, the total number of marks will be 850, against 650 total
marks earlier. Last year, the board had substantially increased the
examination fee, ranging between 11 per cent and 150 per cent.
Sources did not rule out the possibility of unaccounted expenditure
forcing board authorities to generate additional revenue. |

Patient wants cath lab functioning restored Chandigarh, July 24 Following the CBI raids
on the cath lab on June 20, its functioning has come to a virtual
standstill. In a letter addressed to the Chief Justice and other
judges, Mr Muni Lal, a senior political leader from Solan in Himachal
Pradesh, has also requested the court to restrain the CBI from
‘interfering’ into the day-to-day functioning of the Cardiology
Department. “This type of interference if not stopped may add to
consistent and compounded misery of the poor patients who carry faith
in the doctors and the institute.” Mr Muni Lal, who is presently
recuperating on the bed No. 3 at the CCU, is not sure if his writ
petition will bear fruit. His letter is, however, a result of an
incident he witnessed in the CCU six days ago, when a woman with twin
pregnancies waited for hours to undergo an emergency interventional
procedure. Next day, Chandigarh Tribune also reported the case.
“It was anguish to see this young woman struggling for live
following blockage of one of her heart valves due to pulmonary oedema
and doctors of the Cardiology Department following “unnecessary
procedures” during these crucial hours to seek a permission,” he
adds. Mr Muni Lal has implored the state legal system to intervene
and direct the Secretary, Union Ministry of Health, the PGI Director
and head of the Cardiology Department to restore normal working in the
PGI’s cath lab. His frequent visits to the PGI have made him well
conversant with doctors and functioning of the Cardiology Department.
In the past six years he has been admitted to this department for over
76 times for blood transfusion therapy to control heart failure as his
bone marrow is not producing blood. And for this, he has undergone 76
blood transfusions and has received as many as 135 units of blood.
Though his words are incoherent but his message is clear. The CBI
made public requests on July 12 that if anybody has any material about
malfunctioning or exploitation by the doctors of the Cardiology and
the Cardio Vascular and Thorasic Department should pass the
information to the CBI office in Chandigarh or New Delhi. On
Wednesday, Mr Muni Lal saw doctors carry long administrative paper
work to seek permission for emergency procedures. Following the raid,
the emergency patients are now given an 18-page document containing
the list of dealers and the material. Sources add the doctors are
playing safe but in emergency case it would not be surprising if these
delays prove to be fatal in some case. Cardiology Department doctors
blame the lack of functioning on their low morale following the press
note by the CBI. “We were made to feel like petty criminals and
allegations were levelled by the CBI that vital disposable items were
found be unaccounted for” say doctors. Sources in the PGI, however,
say at no point of time did the investigating agency ask the
Cardiology Department to stop functioning. “All the CBI has done is
made a list of items. A doctor’s job is to save lives. So what is
stopping them to act in the best interest of patients. Maybe it is
their way of putting a point across,” opine sources. When
contacted, the PGI Cardiology Department Head said, “All we have is
a letter from the PGI Vigilance Department.” The letter says that
the PGI Vigilance Department is not party to the visits of the CBI to
the Cardiology Department. “The CBI press note says that they along
with the PGI Vigilance Department conducted raids and this in itself
is contradictory. And despite our repeated requests to the CBI, we are
yet to receive the copy of the letter signed by the PGI Senior
Vigilance Officer, CBI officials and the then acting head of the
department on the day of raids,” he added. The head of the
department further added that the CBI had issued verbal instructions
to the doctors asking them not to replenish the revolving stock of
disposable items maintained by the department. “Unless a revolving
stock is not replenished, it does not have any meaning. Unfortunately,
those who are actual sufferers are the poor people in which we were
doing ballooning using the same equipment three to four times, as per
international standards and guidelines, to save patients money. All we
are doing is waiting for clear-cut directions from the CBI,” he
added. |
Traffic congestion a problem for authorities Chandigarh, July 24 The two departments have been unable to cope up with the increasing population and, thus, the ever-increasing number of vehicles on the city roads. This has resulted in lack of infrastructure, poor administration of traffic rules and their enforcement. Traffic jams, considered a remote possibility about five years ago, are now a common occurrence at a number of junctions in the city. The problem areas are Housing Board Light Point, Railway light point, Transport Light Point, Press Chowk, Sector 17- 18 light point, Aroma Light point, Cricket Stadium chowk, Sector 22-35 chowk etc. Inspite of the fact that the UT Inspector General of Police has requested the administration to install traffic lights at a few of the rotaries on a priority basis, the proposal is still biting the dust. Sources in the administration inform that the proposal is waiting approval by the Chief Architect after a study was conducted on the Sector 22- 35 roundabout. “Also, the possibility of increasing the size of this roundabout is under consideration,” informed a senior official. Police officials, meanwhile, insist that the long-term solution to avoid accidents because of heavy traffic on all eight roads to Mohali will be to turn all these roads into one-ways four roads leading to and the remaining four leading from Mohali. It is learnt that around six lakh vehicles are registered in the city with the State Transport Authority. Sources maintain that on an average around 2000 vehicles are registered each month. As many as 50,000 to 55, 000 vehicles from the satellite townships of Panchkula and Mohali, and the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana, also ply on the city roads each day. The traffic police has a meagre strength of about 160 to manage the show. A majority of these personnel ,too, are deployed for VIP route alerts, as munshis and readers in the offices. Senior officials in the traffic police say that as a result they were forced to deploy traffic staff only at important intersections, while most of the other crossings were left unattended. The figures available from the traffic police puts the number of traffic lights in the city to 24, but the run-down condition of these lights in most parts of the city, especially the area falling south of Madhya Marg, also adds to the problem.  |

PANCHKULA DIARY Panchkula Huge craters in roads which have
hardly seen any repair work since these were built, are the first to
greet the visitor. The rains have worsened the situation with water
collecting in the low-lying area and the drainage choked. Stagnant
water adds to the insanitation. The Haryana Urban Development
Authority, which is responsible for the upkeep of this business
sector, recently started clearing the road berms which have been
invaded by wild foliage in a big way. In the absence of street
lighting, the entire Industrial Area is engulfed in darkness once the
sun goes down. Barring the odd light on the premises of industrial
units, the streetlights are hardly functional. Another glaring
problem the Industrial Area faces is that of electricity supply. While
low voltage makes it difficult to run the machines, frequent power
cuts cause the businesses to suffer. The owners of industrial units
claim that the damage is considerable and the officials concerned do
not pay heed to this problem. The President of the Beopar Mandal, Mr
Kuldeep Chitkara, said: “We have met the officials concerned a
number of times but the meetings have not borne any fruit. We continue
to be troubled with the same problems and it does not seem to bother
the officials. We are disappointed because of their
inaction.” While their list of woes is endless, the industrialists
feel that inadequate infrastructure is a cause of industry losing
interest in Panchkula. |

FAUJI BEAT Chandigarh The tradition of military music is as old as the martial traditions of India. From the days of yore to the present-day digitalised battlefield, military music has formed an important aspect of regimental life. No military ceremony is complete without the rousing, soul stirring notes belted out by pipers and drummers in their distinct, colourful attire. The basic objective of military music is to promote orderly marching, inspire troops and keep up the spirits besides minimising fatigue and boredom. The tunes are known to have an effect on morale and even a single instrument playing a lively tune can enthuse battle weary men. In the early days, bands actually used to go into battle, “with colours flying, trumpets blowing and drums beating”. This, of course, is no longer the norm, though bands may be taken to forward zones to play for troops as a source of entertainment or morale boosting. In India, the essence of martial music has been described in great detail in the sanskrit work, Natyashastra. Historical records show that medieval rulers used to ask court poets to compose patriotic verses, and musical support was provided by percussion as well as wind instruments. Dhols, tabors, nagaras, shehnai, conch shells and trumpets were some of the instruments then used. Most ancient Indian martial tunes were based on folk music. Traditional Indian martial music had a firm hold in India till the emergence of the East India Company. Other foreign invaders, including the Mughals, Arabs, French, Dutch and the Portuguese brought with them their own martial music cultures. After independence, the dependence on western instruments and dress continued. While a number of western tunes are still being played, a large number of Indian tunes, based on Indian folk music and ragas, have also been composed. Recently, the Army has started integrating Indian classical instruments such as the sitar, santoor, tabla, israj, pakhawaj, dholak and the flute, with traditional western instruments. These, however, do not form part of a marching band. Every regiment has its own band with its own distinct uniform and all military musicians are regular members of their units. They are trained soldiers and when not playing, they perform normal regimental duties and chores. Special courses are run by the Military Music Wing of the Education Corps Training College at Pachmarhi for military musicians. These range from 12 weeks to 144 weeks. The establishment has been affiliated with the Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahabad. Military bands are of several types — brass bands, having only brass instruments; pipe and drums, having a mixture of drums and bagpipes; and the military band, having brass as well as woodwind instruments. All bands are headed by a conductor, referred to in military parlance as a bandmajor. Military bands are in attendance during official functions, ceremonial parades, parties as well as funerals. While brass instruments are impeccably polished, the drums bear regimental insignia as well as scrolls depicting battle honours. During funerals, the instruments are sheathed in black. Another category of musicians in the military are the buglers. Though they do not form part of military bands, they play a prominent role in day-to-day regimental activities by sounding a variety of “calls” — Reveille, Rouse, First Post, Last Post, First Call, Orderly, Parade Call, Retreat, etc. |

Dharamraja’s idol bites
the dust Chandigarh, July 24 The structure had reportedly been built in the memory of former Mayor Raj Kumar Goyal’s parents. The idol of Dharamraja also lies in the vicinity in disgrace. The collapsed pillar bears mention of Mr Goyal’s parents. Pandit Udoo Krishan said, “Actually this structure collapsed following heavy rains and minor tremors in the region about a week back.” He further informed that the structure had been constructed by the Sanatan Dharam Parishad, Panchkula Kendriya, with the help of donation offered by Mr Goyal, who was not the Mayor then. Pandit Yadvendra Acharya said, “Had anybody been standing in the proximity of that area, he would surely have died or at least sustained serious injuries.” He wondered as to how the foundation of the entrance structure could be so weak. The foundation of the pillar was just about a feet into the ground and it was supposed to support two pillars bearing a statue and two slabs bearing another statue. Mr Goyal, when contacted, expressed ignorance about the collapse of the structure. Surprised by the information, he said, “My only role was that of donation. I gave the parishad Rs 5,000 for the construction. Later I was informed that Rs 11,000 had been spent in all. I am yet to pay the left amount. I am sure it is the contractor’s fault.” The family, incharge of the maintenance of the area, said the structure would be put up again and labour to clear the area of the malba would be deputed by tomorrow. Informed Om Giri, the caretaker of the place, “I was collecting ashes when it was raining heavily. Suddenly I heard a big thud. I turned only to see the structure going down.” |

FENG SHUI TIPS Mirrors are useful Feng Shui tools.
In homes they do not only look beautiful; they also enhance the beauty
of the place where they are hung. Every home has mirrors but when
placed correctly they can bring the luck to the household. Mirrors
with wooden frames are better than those with metal frames. They can
be used to “extend” the missing corners of the home. They are used
to activate the Chi flow in dark and small rooms. One can camouflage
sharp angles caused by columns with mirrors. They are excellent for
reflecting good luck symbols and beautiful scenes of water. Mirrors
do not harm if placed in toilets. Be careful when placing them in any
other part of your house. Mirrors should not be placed in bedrooms
because the Chi thus created is too powerful to be easy for the
resting persons. When placed in bedrooms, they are certain to create
negative Chi.
