Hockey trainees play football! The UT sub-junior girls football meet, which concluded today at Football Stadium, Sector 17, saw eves training in hockey from the Sports Authority of India, Sector 18 sports training centre, taking part in this meet. The sports experts opined that the hockey trainees were part of a special STC scheme and were admitted by the SAI corporate office, Delhi to the centre on the basis of their past achievements in hockey. They were supposed to perform and play at their optimum and were being provided given free lodging, kit, expert training, by SAI coaches. Such a move could jeopardise their career by making them play in official matches other than hockey. In case of any injury during the meet, who would have been held responsible — SAI or Chandigarh Football Association, which hosted the meet ? It may be recalled that on August 29, National Sports Day, few trainees in basketball, athletics, hockey and volleyball of STC-18 had participated in an exhibition match played between the SAI eves and boys from the Chandigarh Football Academy. None of the senior SAI officials or of CFA was available for their comments. |
UT fails to send birth and death
records Chandigarh, September 24 The last time the department had send its annual record was in1995. When contacted the Director, Health Services, Dr Rameshwar Chander, accepted the fact and said that the department had failed to send these records to the Center and said the reason for the lapse was shortage of staff. ‘‘There are only four persons to deal with a large number of births and death cases in the UT, ’’ he said. Sources, however, said otherwise. They said that it was lack of supervision and monitoring which was the core problem for not sending the vital records to the Government of India. It may be mentioned that office of Registrar of Births and Deaths has been in the news for having issued fake certificates and manipulating the office record of many individuals. Cases have come to notice of the UT Health Department when the birth dates of individuals have been changed on the basis of affidavits from the respondents. Meanwhile, the DHS, said that the department was in the process of preparing records and the annual record for 1996 was almost ready to be dispatched to the Union Government. ‘‘Efforts are on to ensure that all other records till date are also prepared and sent as early as possible,’’ he added. SAS Nagar, September 24 Apprehending the trouble ahead, the general house had in its last meeting passed an agenda opposing the posting of Mr Brar in place of Mr Bhagwan Dass Garg, the present EO of the civic body. The councillors alleged that Mr Brar would deteriorate the atmosphere in the municipal council. Getting a whiff of the former Executive Officer reportedly getting orders from the Chief Minister for his transfer back to the local civic body, the members of the ruling group met the Chief Minister but failed to get any encouraging response from him. Sources in the government said the Chief Minister was not willing to help the councillors due to certain political compulsions. Now the councillors were seriously thinking of taking the legal recourse. For the moment, the councillors have got a reprieve as the Local Government Minister is said to have asked the Principal Secretary, Local Government, not to pass any transfer orders without his knowledge. The civic body had already moved a case in the court of the Subdivisional Magistrate under the Punjab Public Premises Act against the former EO for not vacating the official accommodation in the municipal complex here for over five months. The councillors said Mr Brar was not vacating the house as he was planning to come back. The Local Government Department on the recommendation of the local civic body had ordered recovery on account of the house rent from the official. Though the civic body had levied a penalty of Rs 1.44 lakh at a rate of Rs 26,500 per month on Mr Brar for overstaying in the official accommodation, the penalty has been reduced to around Rs 52,000 after waiving off the rent for two months period. The penalty had to be deducted from the salary of the Executive Officer. Citing non-recovery of the penalty, the civic body has urged the Principal Secretary to take disciplinary action against Mr Brar. However, Mr Brar was not available for comments.
