It’s victory of INLD policies: Chautala Yamunanagar, March 8 On the first day of his tour today, the Chief Minister covered 19 villages and a few wards of the town. Mr Chautala claimed that the INLD was a grassroots-level party and that was why the people of this constituency had reposed their faith in it by electing Dr M.C. Gambhir in spite of the malarious propaganda of the Congress, the BJP and the HVP. He said it was alleged that he INLD was party of ruralites but this victory had proved it wrong. He congratulated the people for peaceful and smooth election. He assured the people that no discrimination would be meted out to anyone on the basis of his having voted for a particular candidate during the recently concluded byelection. He said his government would do its best to complete the development works. Expressing his thanks to the people for having elected him as their representative, Dr M.C. Gambhir promised that he would leave no stone unturned to accelerate the pace of development. Mr Balwant Singh MLA and the District INLD unit President, Mr Banta Ram, Chairman, Haryana, Sugarfed, Mr Akram Khan, Chairman, Dairy Development, Mr Rajesh Sharma, former minister, Mr Amilal, Chairman, zila parishad, Mrs Sangeeta Aggarwal and Mr Ashok Sharma chairpersons of the Yamunanagar and Jagadhri municipalities, respectively, and Mr Raj Kumar Saini, general secretary, INLD, Haryana, were also present. |

Civil Hospital survives on one ambulance Ambala, March 8 This hospital ambulance is maintained by the Red Cross Society, which due to its financial constraint, has engaged a drive. The driver is supposed to remain available 24 hours in the hospital but it is not practically possible for single person. The patients referred to the PGI have to rush to Chandigarh immediately. They can not afford to wait for the availability of the driver of the hospital ambulance. They have to depend on the private ambulances owned by the nursing homes even though some of them charge more than the usual rates. The Deputy Commissioner had provided a new ambulance to this hospital at a function at Ambala Cantonment on February 22 which was jointly financed by Saint John Ambulance, Rotary Club and Red Cross Society. Even after a fortnight the ambulance has not reached to the hospital. Strangely the authorities of Ambala Health Department do not know the whereabouts of the ambulance. Besides a large number of
sub-centres three Community Health Centres and around half a dozen Primary Health
Centres have been working in the district. A large number of rural patients approach these
centres even in the case of serious accidents. These health centres do not have the services of specialist doctors so they refer the serious patients to the Civil Hospital. None of these
centres have any ambulance to shift the serious patients to the Civil Hospital or the PGI. At times serious patients die only because they cannot be shifted to the Civil Hospital in time. The Ambala Health Department has around one dozen working vehicles in their possession but all of them are not being utilise due to shortage of drivers. Around half-a-dozen vacancies of driver have been existing in the hospital for the past several years. Some of the vehicles have turned into scrap, as they are not regularly used. |

People urged to check pollution Hisar, March 8 Addressing the gathering, he called upon people to help board officials in reducing pollution in the state. He said though governments of all countries had taken many steps to check this problem but in India there was a lack of awareness among people. It was unfortunate that increasing pollution in the country posed a threat to the health of next generation. He said though the rapid industrial growth had helped the country in raising the living standard of people but at the same time it also posed a serious threat to the health of people in the shape of pollution. He said people and social organisations should come forward to check the pollution. Political parties and other organisation could play an important role in this regard. The youth wing of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) had also launched a special campaign against increasing pollution at many places in Haryana, he added. Mr H.S. Bains, Chairman, Haryana State Pollution Control Board, Mr D.S. Dhensi, Additional Secretary to the Chief Minister, Mr Subhash Goyal, Local Bodies Minister, Mr Puran Singh Dabra and Mr Ram Bhagat Sharma, legislators, were also present on this occasion. |
