Spurious mineral water floods Faridabad Faridabad, April 21 According to information, several youths and children are involved in the racket. They collect the empty water bottles from the kabaris or from garbage dumps, clean them with detergent and supply to the persons who refill the bottles with simple tap water and supply to vendors after putting an adhesive tape around the cap of the bottle. Such refilled bottles are sold at railway stations and bus stands to the passengers. In a recent incident, a resident of Sector 16 here who happened to travel by a train to Sonepat purchased a bottle of `mineral’ water from the old Faridabad Railway Station. When he opened the bottle, he found the taste of water just similar to the water he had taken from the public tap at the platform. According to the railway police sources, a large number of children aged between 8 and 15 years had been involved in bottling ordinary tap water in empty mineral water bottles and later selling it to passengers of the trains which halt at the station. The refilled water bottles are kept in buckets having ice-cubes. It is also learnt that such bottles are sold at prices ranging from Rs 7 to Rs 12, depending upon the time and bargaining by the customer. According to an official, action could be taken against the persons selling spurious water by the health department which had, however, `failed’ to test the purity of water sold through sealed bottles so far. How could a policeman or official stop one from getting water from a public tap in an empty bottle, when it was not known whether it was for personal consumption or resale? he asked. These refilled bottles were sealed secretly and a proper campaign was required to catch the real culprits, he added. The demand for mineral water in Faridabad has been ever increasing as the normal tap water supplied in the town is `heavy’ and contain ‘salts’ exceeding the acceptable limit. Thus the
supply of mineral water has been a roaring business here. A large number of households depend on such water regularly. |

Nostalgic Sheila Dikshit walks down New Delhi, April 21 While the defeat of the SAD (Badal) at the hands of the Congress in Punjab might have confused the Union minister, for Ms Dikshit, it was an encounter with her nostalgic past. As far as “Punjabiyat” was concerned, Ms Dikshit said that she had “80 per cent of it in her blood”. “I was born in Punjab and had my initial schooling there. And yes, I owe my success as the Chief Minister to Delhi’s large Punjabi population,” she said. Despite her marriage into a political family in Uttar Pradesh, she never lost touch with the “Punjabi” culture as a large number of migrants, who had settled down in Delhi after Partition, always acted as a link for Ms Dikshit to remind her of her roots. The two leaders were attending a function organised by the International Council of Punjabis (ICP). Several Punjabi organisations at the function pledged a total on-the-spot aid of Rs 15 lakh for the riot-affected people of Gujarat. The former Prime Minister, Mr I. K. Gujral, presented the ICP-instituted Jathedar Santokh Singh Awards to renowned cardiologist Naresh Trehan, internationally acclaimed Singh Bandhu duo of classical music and novelist Bhajan Singh. Cricketer Harbhajan, who was also chosen for the award, could not collect it as he is in West Indies now. The ICP would honour him at a later date, Mr Manjit Singh, the head of the ICP and a member of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), said. |

Crime-Busters New Delhi, April 21 It was January 1986 when some unidentified persons had looted Rs 3.25 lakh from the Vaish Cooperative Bank on the main Vikas Marg after stabbing the guard and threatening the cashier in broad daylight. The guard was not seriously injured, but the brazen robbery in the heart of the congested commercial area of East Delhi had caused panic among the traders and businessmen. The news of robbery was particularly galling to the young constable as the incident had occurred in his beat area. Joshi was furious. He had worked hard during the first month by building a rapport with the residents of the stretch of Vikas Marg and come to know most of the shopkeepers, traders and vendors thronging the busy road. Without waiting for the formal instructions, the constable, who had wanted to be a policeman since his childhood, went to work, contacted his sources and informants. Five hours of strenuous work paid off. One of the informants indicated that this could be the handiwork of one Bharat Bhushan alias Chotu who used to run a small shop near the bank. Another contact also tipped off on the residential address of Chotu. A raid was organised, and lo and behold! The entire looted amount and the knife were recovered from the suspect who had been hiding in the house. Thanks to this beat constable’s dedication, the sensational robbery case was solved in fewer than 24 hours, much to the relief of the senior police officers of the area. Chotu confessed that he used to watch the movement of the cash to and from the bank and waited for an opportunity to strike. He had apparently planned the robbery along with his brother, Prabhat Bhushan, several months in advance. The strapping, strongly built beat constable is also credited with single-handedly nabbing some of the dreaded criminals of the area like Dhyan Singh alias Dhyanu, Devendra Singh alias Balli and Mahinder Gujjar. It is no surprise that all the Investigating Officers (IOs) of the district want him in their raiding parties and often rely on him for picking up crucial information from the street. Happily married, with two daughters, Rajendra Prasad is a God-fearing man. And perhaps this is the reason that he prefers to do the right thing whatever the consequences. “I want to be a friend of the law-abiding citizens and a terror for the law-breakers,” the beat constable told the ‘NCR Tribune’. |

Agencies refuse to buy ‘small’ wheat, farmers blame government Rohtak, April 21 Thanks to the hard stance of the agencies, farmers are forced to wait for several days in scorching heat at different grain markets to sell the stocks. A visit to the various grain markets in the district revealed that huge piles of wheat were lying on the road, while aggrieved farmers were seen waiting for the procurement of their wheat. A large number of farmers alleged that the government officials were reluctant to procure their wheat on flimsy grounds, such as the small size of the grains and excessive barley in the crop. The agitated farmers alleged that it was the inadequate supply of irrigation water that had resulted in the smaller size of the grains. As such, they pleaded that they should not be made to pay for the ‘incompetence’ of the government. Leaders from different political parties who visited the grain markets charged the government with harassing the farmers. After visiting the grain market at Sanghi village today, Mr Krishan Murti Hooda, a former minister, said a large number of farmers expressed their anguish about the “dual standards” adopted by the government. He claimed that farmers of Sanghi, Khidwali, Katwara, Ghuskani, jindran etc had registered several complaints against the officials of the procurement agencies. The farmers had also alleged that the authorities were not providing sufficient sacks for the storage of their wheat. He appealed to the Chief Minister to make a surprise visit to these grain markets to understand the sufferings of the farmers. Prof Virender Singh, president, District Congress Committee (rural), alleged that the government had intentionally set high standards for the procurement that could not be fulfilled by the majority of farmers in the region. |

Compensation for gutted crop demanded
Sonepat, April 21 Talking to the ‘NCR Tribune’ here today, he said that the farmers of at least 15 villages in the district had suffered huge losses by the growing incidence of fire, caused by sparks from electricity transformers and transmission lines passing through the fields. He blamed the authorities of the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitrtan Nigam (who had failed to remove the transmission lines and replace the old wires. Referring to the wheat procurement, Mr Sangwan alleged that the farmers were not given the minimum support price (MSP) by the officials of the procurement agencies, when they brought their produce to the mandis.

MOVING FINGER My reference to the relationship between elders and their grandchildren in one of the earlier columns has evoked an interesting response from a friend in that age group. He says that it is difficult to keep communication even with grandchildren, the ones who have reached high school or college stage. This is particularly so in a place like Delhi which has all kinds of distractions and temptations for the young people. This friend has an idea about the education environment in some of the other cities like Chandigarh, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai and even Mumbai and says that it is so different in Delhi. The National Capital, he says, has some of the finest educational institutions as is indicated by various surveys. Still, the environment for serious study is not the same as in the other cities mentioned above. It is a pity that the young boys and girls do not take full advantage of the facilities here but spend their time in other pursuits which are not so conducive for studies. This, naturally, creates a kind of a wedge between parents and children, more so in case of grandchildren. The greater communication mentioned by me in the earlier column might be all right in the case of nursery students but not in the case of senior students in schools and colleges. The seniors do aim high but without working hard for those heights. They think that they are wise enough and do not consider it necessary to heed the advice of elders. There would be late nights for them without a thought for the grandparents who keep awake — especially if it is in the case of a granddaughter but generally in the case of both grandsons and granddaughters — till midnight waiting for them and awake even after they come because the time for them to get sleep is upset. It literally means sleepless nights. . Then, there is the fear of drugs and a different kind of parties and interaction which the grandparents are not used to. The young people’s lure for money is understandable in the place where some of the neo-rich parents permit extravagant habits of their wards and set the trend for others. These other students either pester their parents for that kind of money or take to dubious ways for acquiring it to keep pace with others. They also get ideas like going abroad for studies without caring if their parents can afford it or not. This lure for studies abroad has been given a boost by many foreign universities and institutes carrying on campaigns for enrolling Indian students. This attitude becomes a real problem when the job market is tight and it is a question of continuing studies for the sake of studies only. It may come as a shock for most readers to know — at least it was a shock for me — that there are senior students in some of the high-profile schools who get hundreds of rupees, even a thousand rupees per day as pocket money. At least one teacher wanted to confirm the spendthrift habits of a student and subsequent inquiries showed that he had Rs 10,000 in his locker. . One can often find groups of students in school uniforms at some of the expensive restaurants and fast food joints. There are many more things which could be said in the context of the young persons in Delhi but column space is always limited and those things are kept back to be conveyed later. One thing, however, is sure. The environment results in arguments between parents and grandparents and the generation gap among them increases while the young persons are amused as to why they should be fighting over them. Time for discourse The newspapers and TV channels have been busy with Gujarat. The people in the National Capital have been feeling the heat, at least the heat of exchange of comments on the situation. It is the time when most people are on one side or the other. There seems to be a direct confrontation between those who stand for Hindutva and those against it. There is already a polarisation on — should one say on communal — rigid lines. . Religion is being brought in the debate without many people realising the meaning for real religion. There are not enough people to counsel sane and cool discussion on the subject. The exception is a two-man army of Swami Agnivesh and Rev Valson Thampu who have joined hands in the past for many social-spiritual campaigns. This time, they have decided to create awareness among the people on the role of true religion in uniting the people rather than dividing them on communal lines. They are trying in all earnest to mobilise religious leaders in their effort and are hopeful that they will find some to join them in the campaign to cool tempers in this regard. They want to keep it out of politics, a purely religious programme. They believe that there have been occasions in the past when spiritual leaders of different faiths have got together on one platform for the good of the people. Today, such an occasion has arisen in the country and that they should respond to the call of the mankind. They hope to reach all types of audience with their message. They want to have young people as the target audience in particular. Already, they are in tough with some prominent public schools in Delhi in this regard. In fact, principals of some of these schools had met recently and decided to create awareness among their students about the need for communal harmony. They prepared a programme of lectures by Swami Agnivesh and Rev Valson Thumpu who had volunteered for this task. So far, they have been to three schools to interact with students and hope to visit more in this connection. It is surely a good initiative and more schools, even colleges, can seek the help from such lecturers to interact with their students.
For the disabled In Noida, there is an office which has been monitoring work in the field of the disabled. This office, shifted from near Rouse Avenue in New Delhi, is that of Chief Commissioner for Disabled Persons. It surely is more prominent and visible in Noida than at its old location where it was almost lost in the large building which served as a medical facility. To make it more visible — and transparent, a term which is very popular these days — it has been decided to publish a quarterly newsletter to inform the interested people about what is going on in the world of the disabled. . By the time, this column is read, the first issue of the newsletter would have been ready. An eight-page newsletter, it is aimed at creating awareness about various activities in the country which would interest the disabled as well as those official and non-government organisations working in this field. It is planned to include success stories as well as achievements of the disabled, the efforts to rehabilitate them and the problems facing them in different parts of the country. Apparently, the idea is to involve more persons and organisations in the work.
Bon appetite! Not many people of the present generation would be familiar with the word, Dhingri. It is a mushroom type stuff which was very popular in old days and was often part of the food in an average household in Punjab. Now, it is a delicacy which is seen among the fare at weddings and other important occasions. It tastes almost like a non-vegetarian dish and has a peculiar taste. It is rich in minerals and has very low calories, something which would appeal to the present generation. The idea in writing about it is that some experts feel that it can be grown in a big way in parts of Haryana which fall in the National Capital Region. Mushroom is already being grown in this area successfully. It does not need sunlight to grow, calls for relative humidity which can be provided artificially as in the case of mushroom. There are easy sources of spawn or seed. It can be marketed in Delhi itself where the major hotels, restaurants and eateries would want it in good quantities. In case of it being in surplus, it can be exported to countries in the Middle East and the South East Asia. It can be dried easily for this purpose. Incidentally, it is good for the diabetics and heart patients.
Fire Services Week Gurgaon, like the rest of Haryana, was observing the Fire Services Week last week. It is nice of the Fire Services of Haryana Urban Development Authority to make their presence felt on such occasions. It is natural that they remind the people about the precautions they should take to prevent fires or to control them. Handbills with these points were distributed in the town and nearby settlements. What struck me important in the handbill was an advice that those putting up pandals should not locate the kitchen near the pandal and that electric wiring should not be loose or bared in the pandals. I have been to several such pandals put up on the occasion of a wedding or a social function and find the instruction flouted invariably. That it has not resulted in many cases of fire is God’s kindness. I do not know if there is a mechanism to keep track of these pandals — Gurgaon seems to be popular for weddings, religious discourses and a variety of social functions because of the wide open spaces here — and how effective this mechanism is. . One wishes the authorities to be more vigilant in this regard and also with regard to the mandatory anti-fire measures required to be taken by large buildings of which many are coming up in the area. As many of the new buildings, both residential and commercial, are multi-storey structures, it may be in order for the Fire Service to be better equipped to tackle cases of fire in high-rise buildings.

THE ACHIEVERS Sandeep Salariya had an ear for music ever since he was a kid. By the time he reached adolescence, he took a fancy to drums. He would keenly observe orchestra on television and his seniors at St. Xavier’s school, play the drums. A regular, close watch made him imbibe set beat patterns he had otherwise no knowledge of. By the time he reached Xth standard, his fancy had transformed into a passion. Now, a young Sandeep Salariya knew he wanted to practise and play drums only but he was not able to afford it. Moreover, he was not sure either whether his passion would last. Hence, he decided to invent his own set of drums – out of waste material at home. To begin with, he looked for items that could create similar sounds that of drums. He tried on sofa sets, layers of bricks, boxes made out of card- boards but nothing would suffice. This time he took a big plastic bucket, filled some clothes in it and hit it softly.. It emitted the required resonance. A happy Salariya kept it aside for a ‘side bass’. Now he went for a plastic stool, spread a cloth on it and beat it with a stick—it gave forth the similar ‘snair’ sound. An encouraged Sandeep collected two plastic boxes from his kitchen that produced ‘tongs’ echo. Now he needed ‘high hat’ for his near completion drum set. He took several hangers, tied them to avoid unnecessary shrilling. To make a ‘foot paddle’, he twisted all rods and collected broken bangles, bracelets, and anklets, tied them on different hangers for ‘symbol’ sounds and supported them with ‘mops’ made out of bricks. He beat them with a rod and lo! He was very close to the expensive drum set that he had in his school and saw on the TV. His joy knew no bounds. His two years of toil had borne the desired results. His own homemade band was ready. Now, Sandeep plays to explore new possibilities in drum music. “I never liked hard metal sounds that are more noise than music. Hence, I am exploring the possibility of creating light sounds out of it that are ear-friendly and could be enumerated in soft music,” says the Best Student Award winner of his school. Sandeep is not only a music lover but also a web wizard, sportsperson, painter, writer, debater and an accomplished violinist. The Gold Medallist and captain of basket ball team at school, Sandeep also won accolade as ‘Master of Ceremony’ for anchoring the Christmas Celebration Programme before the President, Mr R K Narayan, the First Lady, the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, the Home Minister, Mr L K Advani, other distinguished members of Parliament and several ambassadors at Rashtrapati Bhawan last year. Sandeep has also won countless prizes in elocution, quiz, group discussion and international letter writing competitions. He has also been a prefect of his school in 1996-97. He likes Jim Carey and Zeta Jones and also goes gaga over Indian classical music, Hari Prasad Chaurasia, the flute maestro and Shuba Mudgal. This young boy who has just taken XII standard exams from St. Xavier’s School, Delhi, has plans to go for creative advertising in future and put his musical talent to best use through this field. |

Racket in CNG certification busted New Delhi, April 21 The EOW of the Delhi Police claimed that Green Fuel Engineering Company issued fake certificates that showed that the vehicle had installed the requisite CNG kit after charging Rs 5,000. Interestingly, the company has been authorised to install CNG kits in the vehicles of the Capital. The suspected officials were identified as Rahul Goyal, Rajender Pal Singh and Venkat Rao. They were arrested after a raid on the company’s office in Safdarjung Enclave by sleuths of the EOW. They allegedly conspired in order to make money by unfair means, the police said. When the EOW received secret information that Green Fuel Engineering Company was issuing false certificates about the installation of CNG kits in vehicles after charging Rs 5,000, they sent a decoy customer to its office. Predictably, the decoy was issued the false certificate after paying the cash. A raid was conducted in the office and many computer floppies were seized which detailed the ongoing racket, the police said. Employee killed:
Pirated CDs seized:
During the raids, CDs, videos and In-Lay cards were seized and an employee, Shiv Raj Singh, working with the unit, was arrested.
