HSSIEC list of discord Chandigarh, July 4 The HSSIEC has prepared a list of 45 members designated as officers to whom retrenchment compensation of 15 days’ salary for each completed year of service will not be paid. In lieu of that they are being given three months’ salary as compensation. As a result of this policy, adopted as per the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the non-officer employees of the HSSIEC are getting more money as compensation than the officers. The final list of officers who were to be given three months’ salary as compensation was allegedly not in keeping with the guidelines drawn up by the HSSIEC for this purpose. It was decided on March 5 that “the employees who are working as officers in supervisory capacity as on date at the head office and field offices at the time of retrenchment” would be given three months’ salary as compensation instead of 15 days’ salary for each year of service. On the same day a list of 45 names was drawn up which included the names of Mr V. K. Gupta, Mr P. K. Jain and Mr Balkar Singh under the category of “Branch Manager”. While Mr V. K. Gupta and Mr P. K. Jain were “Branch Managers” at Yamunanagar and Sonepat, respectively, Balkar Singh was in charge, sales tax branch, Karnal. However, in the final list prepared subsequently, their names were dropped and the names of Mr Rajesh Malhotra, Mr Jai Pal Bhoria and Mr V. Gupta, all of whom were posted at the head office, were included. The name of Mr H. P. Singh, Assistant Engineer, who was not in the initial list, was included in the final list. Mr H. P. Singh said though he was designated as an Assistant Engineer, his pay scale and other emoluments were those of a foreman. Mr H. P. Singh alleged his name was included in the list arbitrarily. Mr S.P. Jain, MD of the HSSIEC, however, said the changes in the list were carried out after taking legal opinion. Mr V. K. Gupta and Mr P. K. Jain, whose names were dropped, enabling them to get a better compensation package, were assistants who were officiating as branch managers and therefore their names had been withdrawn from the final list. Similarly, Balkar Singh, who was looking after the sales tax branch at Karnal, was an accountant due to which his name was taken out from the final list, Mr Jain said. The MD claimed there was nothing unusual in the H. P. Singh Case as being an Assistant Engineer he was working as an officer in supervisory capacity even though his pay scale could be that of a foreman. “When the corporation was functioning, everyone wanted to be promoted as an officer, now they want the reverse for a better compensation package,” Mr Jain said. |

‘Infighting threat to secular fabric’ Yamunanagar, July 4 Appreciating the role of organisations like the Rotary Club in social service and in helping the poor and the downtrodden, he said that respect for civilisation and culture was missing in our country because of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy. As the system had failed to respond to the challenges confronting the nation, each one was passing the buck and blaming one another. The Tribune Editor said that the time had come for everyone to work together and tackle the main problems facing the country. He said that Indians had tremendous potential. When they went abroad, they proved to be successful there. Why then do they fail in India, he asked. He said the future of Indian democracy would depend on well informed citizens for which the media would have to play a positive role. In this context, he said the progressive growth in the media was very encouraging. He admitted that though getting information from the establishment was difficult, the media would have to provide the same to the public. Mr Hari Jaisingh appealed to the Rotarians that as free citizens of this country it is our responsibility to work together for the progress of our nation. The need of the hour was to work with sincerity and honesty. He also stressed the need for clean journalism — electronic or the print media. To a question, he made it clear that neither India nor Pakistan could afford war as it was dangerous for both countries. Simultaneously, India should try to strengthen its security apparatus. He called for economic cooperation between both countries. Every Pakistani and Indian wanted prosperity through education and employment which was not possible if the two countries went to war. Dialogue at an appropriate level between both countries should continue because there was no other way out, he said. To a question on the choice of Prof A.P.J. Abdul Kalam as the next President, Mr Hari Jaisingh said that it was a good choice as he was the most eligible candidate for the post. As regards corruption in high places, he said that we had to create an atmosphere free from corruption so that there were adequate employment avenues for people for the betterment of society. Referring to the Gujarat episode, he said that it was a classic example of the failure of our system with absolutely no governance. He stated that the situation could have been handled in an effective manner. He said that newspapers and journalists should always be objective as their main aim was to serve the people. In this context, he said that the credibility of The Tribune among the literate masses was very high. “We are the custodian of the people and we should think positive and act positive in the interest of the people”, The Tribune Editor said. He later installed Mr Ravinder Aggarwal as a next president of the club for 2002-2003, Mr Aggarwal announced that the club would organise tree plantation, free eye camp and a dental care checkup camp in the current year. Dr Vimal Miglani, the incoming secretary, said that 10 houses would be provided free of cost by the club to the needy. Mr Himanshu
Bajaj, immediate past president, announced that the club received 20 awards from the District Governor last year. Mr Kapil Gupta, the outgoing secretary, read out last year’s report. He said that the club got the highest membership growth award in the district. Mr Raman
Saluja, past president, introduced the guest. Mrs Anita Saluja, Chairman, Inner Wheel Club, appreciated the role of Rotarians in social service.Mr Subhash
Garg, immediate past district governor, said that Rotarians should help the needy. Mr Ashwani Nanda, past president, in his speech, described Mr Hari Jaisingh as an institution. Mr Kamal Gupta, incoming president, proposed a vote of thanks. Mr Hari Jaisingh handed over a life-saving machine (nebulizer) to an asthma patient, Ramesh Kumar. Mr O.P. Arora, Additional General Manager, The Tribune and Mr Mahender Gupta, Assistant Governor of the district, were also present on the occasion. |
