Radhika
stuns Sheethal New Delhi, June 21 Sheethal Goutham, who had won the first three leagues of the circuit in Chandigarh, Muzzaffarnagar and Delhi, however failed to repeat the feat in the Masters final as the unbroken winning streak took a heavy toll on her in the sapping heat and humidity. Though she tried to put up a game fight after losing the first set rather tamely, Tulpule was determined not to let slip the title away from her grasp, and gave all she had to wrest the second set and the title too. Sheethal Goutham, however, had one consolation as she had lifted the doubles title on Thursday, in the company of second-seeded Shruti Dhawan. Radhika Tulpule had displayed tremendous form in their earlier matches, as she had won the first two rounds quite
easily before encountering some problems in the semi-final against Shruti Dhawan, but she eventually emerged tops in three sets. |

Rohtak admn gears up to face floods Rohtak, June 21 Talking informally to ‘NCR Tribune’ here today, Mr Yadav said that because of its topographic location, the district was prone to floods. Rainwater found natural flow into Rohtak district from the adjoining Sonepat and Jind districts. There are several pockets of low-lying areas in the district from which natural flow of rainwater is not possible. The problem is further accentuated by the existence of man-made barriers that obstruct the natural flow of water. Mr Yadav is not new to Rohtak district. He had earlier served the district as Managing Director of the Rohtak Co-operative Sugar Mills, the oldest sugar mill in the co-operative sector in Haryana, from 1991 to 1995. He said that the excessive discharge in Drain No. 8 could cause breach in the drain endangering not only rural areas but also Rohtak town, as had happened during the floods in 1960, 1980 and 1995. He believes that the monsoon rainfall this year would be normal with the result that Drain No. 8, Jassia drain, KCB drain and Meham drain, which had remained dry and ran with lesser discharge in the previous years, may be tested this time. The monsoon, normally hits this area either in the last week of June or in the beginning of July every year. Last year, Rohtak recorded 293 mm rainfall. Mr Yadav said that floods in the district were caused due to a variety of reasons and, as such, different areas were affected due to different reasons and all areas were not necessarily affected simultaneously. However, based on the past experiences, the administration has categorised villages as (a) dangerously exposed (b) badly affected and (c) moderately affected. He said that Flood Control Room would become functional from July 1. Such centres are also being set up at Meham, Sampla, Kalanaur and Lakhanmajra. Elaborate arrangements for distribution of essential commodities like atta, sugar, cooking oil, kerosene, petrol, diesel, tea etc are being made to meet any eventuality. The Health Department officials have been told to be ready to provide reach the services to the affected population, in the event of floods. The Civil Surgeon has been advised to provide relief both as a preventive as well as a curative measure. The DC said that diesel-run generator sets, of 60 cusecs capacity each, had been installed at the vulnerable points for carrying out the de-watering operations from the residential localities as well as fields. From this year onwards, the de-watering operations would not be dependent upon the availability of electricity, which is normally switched off during the rains or floods. |
