DC annuls MC resolution on buildings Gurgaon, July 10 The tough posture of the incumbent Deputy Commissioner, who took charge recently, reportedly has the tacit approval of higher echelons in the government. The public have welcomed the move of the administration in annulling the resolution of the municipality at large. The development has gone a long way in impressing all and sundry that the decision taken by various agencies and the important functionaries of the government with regard to land-related issues, especially in Gurgaon, are sometimes coloured and, as events at hand suggest, should be taken with a pinch of salt. The president of the local municipal council, Mr Braham Prakash, confirmed that Mr Rastogi had annulled the resolution recommending regularisation of 89 buildings. According to well-placed sources, the former Deputy Commissioner had issued a generic order for regularisation of 89 buildings in total disregard to the findings and recommendations of a committee of the state Urban Development Department, specifically constituted to investigate the case. These buildings were constructed between 1996 and 1999 when the Bansi Lal-headed government was at the helm of affairs in the state. Following complaints, after the Chautala-led INLD government took charge, the DIG, CID, of the state investigated the matter and found gross violations of the Municipal Act and the municipal bylaws. Thereafter, the matter was discussed at a meeting of the Haryana Cabinet, which was presided over by Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala. The matter was cleared for formal departmental investigation. As a follow-up action to the deliberation in the Cabinet, the Urban Development Department formed a three-man committee headed by its Additional Director, Mr M.L. Kaushik. The committee reported that the 89 buildings were in gross violation of various laws. Of them, 10 were identified to be such which could not be regularised even after charging penalties. The reason for this was that they were constructed in blatant violation of the law. The committee strictly recommended their demolition. The committee also recommended that responsibility of the officers in the municipality who had worked in collusion with the violators of law in allowing such structures to come up must be fixed. The Urban Development Department from the state headquarters sent the case along with the findings and recommendations of its committee to the local Deputy Commissioner, Mr Apoorva Kumar Singh, in
September, 2001. |

Sarna sure of heading DSGMC New Delhi, July 10 “The electorate have voted in favour of SAD Delhi under my leadership and their trust cannot be betrayed. I have the requisite number of members to support my claim for the post,” Mr Sarna told the NCR Tribune. Asked about the open opposition to his candidature by Bhai Ranjit Singh, the SAD Delhi president said, “He is like my elder brother. I do not want to react to his comments.” Mr Sarna was sure that the former SGPC chief, Mr Gurcharan Singh Tohra, would find a way-out to resolve the differences. The SAD Delhi chief, however, expressed confidence that there would not be any change in the leadership as the party’s members to the committee have elected him as their leader to head the next DSGMC. On the question whether any member inclined towards Bhai Ranjit Singh would be given important post like general secretary in the DSGMC as a compromise formula, Mr Sarna said, “Nothing has been discussed on these lines so far.” He said the election for co-opted members would indicate the “hold I have amongst the party members.” Eight persons have filed their nominations with the Directorate of Gurdwara Election to be co-opted as members of the DSGMC. While SAD (Badal) has indicated that its official candidate is Mr Manmohan Singh Sachdeva, the SAD Delhi has given its backing to Mr Surjit Singh and Mr Harmohinder Singh. Others in the fray were Mr Balwinder Singh Talwandi, Mr Jaswinder Singh Jolly, Mr Manjit Singh Govindpuri, Mr Harinderpal Singh, and Mr S S Bajwa. The Director, Mr Manpreet Singh, said that the papers of the candidates would be scrutinized on July 11 and the last date for withdrawal is July 13. The election for co-opted member would take place on July 17, if necessary.

Train hijacked at Dhanora Ghaziabad, July 10 They also thrashed the train guard and the staff at the station. The Railway Protection Force, Gajaraula, have registered an FIR against the errant passengers and arrested eight of them for having assaulted the government staff on duty, stopping the train and taking it back illegally, which was tantamount to hijacking it. At least 35 Haryana youths had boarded the train from Dehra Dun and were returning after taking a holy dip in the Ganga. At Chandpur station, one of their companions fell down from the train. The youths pulled the chain. As soon as it reached Mandi Dhanora station they went on the rampage, attacking the railway staff and breaking railway property. They asked the station master that the train should return to the place where their companion had fallen. The station master and the assistant station master expressed their inability to do so. Outraged on hearing this, they beat up the two, then got into the chamber of the guard and forced the train to be taken back to Chandpur. The station master informed the Control Room in Moradabad. A large police force accompanied by the SSP reached Chandpur where the separated passenger was united with his companions. At Gajaraula station, the police and the RPF were waiting for the train. Eight youths were taken into custody. They include Kapil, Sunil Kumar, Gaurav, Sunny Kumar, Sunil Singh, Rajpat, Manish Verma and
Vinod Kanna. A report has been filed at the RPF post at Gajaraula. The wayward action of the youths delayed the train by over three hours. Other passengers in the train felt insecure in view of the unruly behaviour of the youths. The arrested passengers were presented before a magistrate in Ghaziabad. |

Kirtan Committee member shot New Delhi, July 10 The police believe it could be a case of old enmity. Singh came to the dhaba for having food when the three assailants entered the dhaba and ordered ‘burfi’ for Rs 10. There was a power cut during this time. Using the darkness to their advantage, the assailants shot at Singh twice. As Nirvesh came to his rescue, they shot at him also. Both of them died immediately. There was considerable panic in the area after the gunshots had been fired and the residents came out of their houses only to realise that the accused fled the area soon after committing the crime. The dhaba owner Raju went hiding behind the counter to save his life. Singh, an active member in the Keertan committee has spent some time in the United States and returned to India only recently. The police said that they were in touch with the family members and friends of the deceased and had laid a trap to nab the accused soon.
Preliminary enquiries have revealed that the victim used to normally visit the dhaba in the evenings along with some other friends. The police said that cases of murder had been registered against the suspects and their descriptions flashed to all the police stations. They were described as young and ordinarily dressed. |

Criminals
put in quarantine Meerut, July 10 A notorious UP (western) gangster Ravinder Bhura, involved in fracas three times, has already been shifted to the Fatehgarh Central Jail. After a high-level meeting of district officials chaired by the
Commissioner, Meerut Zone, Mr N.S. Ravi, which was attended by the jail authorities also, and ex officio D.I.G. of the Jail District Magistrate, Mr P V Jagmohan, the authorities decided to take steps to prevent such incidents in the future. Mr Ravi told the mediapersons that a mobile phone jamming devise would soon be installed on the jail premises to check communication between the inmates and their accomplices. The jail superintendent also named 10 persons in the FIR for causing unrest and committing riots on July 3. The FIR included the name of Ravindra Bhura and one Promod Bhadara. A proposal for making high security barracks for notorious gangsters had been sanctioned by the authorities. Mr Ravi sent this proposal for the approval of high authorities in Lucknow. The District police officials were also worried about the possible gang war between the Ravindra Bhura and Pramod Bhadara groups in the whole western UP region. The Senior Superintendent of the Police Meerut, Mr Mukul Goel, said that he was looking into the Dhiraj Gupta murder case in the same context. There were reports that some jail guards had been involved in various irregularities in the jail administration. The anomalies occur while supplying certain articles to the inmates which include vegetables, food and mobile phones. Jail Superintendent Kedarnath said that he had asked the jail guards to follow the jail norms strictly and wear the name broach as some guards did not wear them so that they could not be named in case of a complaint. |

32 students hurt in roof collapse Jhajjar, July 10 The school, situated on the Jhajjar- Badli road, had 37 girl students on its rolls. Four of the girls were absent today and the name of one girl had been deleted. When the roof of the building, constructed by the village panchayat nearly 18 years ago, caved in there were 32 girls in all in the classroom. Besides them, the school Headmaster, Mr Balbir Singh, and another teacher, Mr Om Parkash, who were present in the room, also sustained injuries. As soon as the news spread that girls had been buried under the roof of the school, the villagers rushed to the scene of the mishap to begin rescue and relief operations. The Deputy Commissioner, Mr Mohinder Lal, and the SSP, Mr Mohd Akil, reached the spot after they learnt about the mishap. The DRO, the DPEO and the DEO also rushed to the school on hearing the news. The injured girls and both the teachers were admitted to the Civil Hospital at Jhajjar, where 10 girls were discharged after being administered first-aid. Of the rest 22 girls, two seriously injured, Sangita and Pooja, have been admitted to the PGIMS here. Both the injured teachers have also been admitted to the PGIMS. The Deputy Commissioner, Jhajjar, has announced an ex gratia of Rs 500 to each injured girl from the Red Cross Society funds. He has also ordered that medical expenses of the girls will be borne by the administration. The Sarpanch of the village, Mr Roshan Lal, said that the building of the school was in good condition. He expressed surprise over the sudden collapse of the roof. There were no dangerous cracks in the building, he said. |
Govt-L-G spat “There have been a number of occasions when my government felt that the Lt-Governor had withheld his assent on crucial decisions,” Ms Dikshit told reporters here today. While asserting that her government was not for a confrontation with the Lt-Governor, the Chief Minister said it was her government that was accountable to the people. “There have been some grey areas with regard to the constitutional authority of the Lt-Governor, but I also don’t visualise a situation where the Chief Minister’s authority gets eroded or the decisions of the Cabinet whittled down by one who is not directly accountable to the people.” Ms Dikshit said her government had taken a decision to pay a compensation amount totalling Rs 23 lakh to those security personnel killed in the December 13 terrorist attack on Parliament. “The file was sent to the Lt-Governor’s office months ago but the assent came only recently. Similarly, the government sent a note to the Lt-Governor, seeking his approval for a hike in transport fare. In this case too, the sanction was inordinately delayed.” With regard to the privatisation of the Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB), Ms Dikshit said the city government had kept Mr Kapoor “fully informed of all stages of the deal”. “Yet, he accused us of keeping him in the dark about it. Throughout, he was aware that the SBI Caps was involved in it. Even Union Power Minister Suresh Prabhu was aware of all the details. This situation is quite perplexing to me,” she said. Giving yet another instance, the Chief Minister said her government had proposed to augment the strength of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) to three members because of the enormous amount of work, “which needs a lot of patience”. This time too, the proposal was opposed by the Lt-Governor, she said. “Nothing has been done which is not in our power. Because of conventions and express provisions in the Constitution, we have been referring the government’s decisions to the L-G’s office. But it becomes a problem if the Lt-Governor withholds his assent to crucial decisions for reasons unknown to us,” she said. In this connection, Ms Dikshit also referred to Mr Kapoor’s order to the Chief Secretary and police authorities to register a case against a party MLA who was indicted by the Lok Ayukta for indulging in power theft and tax avoidance. “The said MLA was never given a chance to clarify his position. You read the FIR against the MLA. It makes a strange reading,” she held. Former Principal Secretary (Finance) Ramesh Chandra, who demitted his office recently, had circulated a three-page letter to the Chief Secretary, Principal Secretaries and Delhi ministers, accusing Mr Kapoor of transgressing his constitutional authority. “The Lt-Governor must not assume for himself a greater role than the one assigned by the Constitution,” the letter had said.

Residents
praying for monsoon Faridabad, July 10 While expectations hold on and predictions of a good rainfall still persist, the present situation has put the Water and Power Departments under severe pressure. Residents in urban areas have been feeling the pinch of power cuts for the past two and a half months. The scorching heat and humid conditions have affected daily life adversely. Although sale of invertors and air-conditioners has gone up in the past couple of months, power cuts and tripping have left people helpless. The power authorities also admit that pressure on them had increased, as rainfall had not arrived in time. They say that if the monsoon had a spell or two, the demand of power could have decreased by almost 30 to 40 per cent. A senior official of the department said while they had to ensure proper supply to urban areas, the demand for more power by the agriculture sector could not be overlooked. It is learnt that a good share of power supply was being diverted to agriculture as paddy sowing had started in various parts of the state. Gopal Singh, a farmer of Fazzerpur village in the district, said farmers who had sown crops like jowar and bajra had been worried due to the non-arrival of rainfall. He claimed that crops in hundreds of hectares were on the verge of drying up or suffering irreparable damage. Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Sector 16 here, said the humidity and heat were unbearable. He said his family had come from a short visit to Mussoorie in June-end to beat the heat and had expected that the temperature would come down by the time they returned. However the situation had remained the same, he said. Incidents of schoolchildren getting affected by heat and humidity have also been reported. Recently, a six-year-old student fell unconscious in his school as he could not bear the heat. Tripping at odd hours has also become common. Power cuts were being frequently imposed in the night since the past two weeks, said a resident of Sector 14 here. |

Left parties appeal to Presidential voters Rohtak, July 10 According to both the Left parties, the forthcoming Presidential election is taking place at an extraordinary juncture when different political parties are ruling in various states and the Centre, thus making it necessary for the President’s intervention on many occasions. The Left parties alleged that the basic tenets of the Constitution had been under attack at the hands of the communal forces led by the BJP and the Sangh Parivar for the past few years. The plurality, secularism, democracy and centre-state relations, as reflected in the Constitution, would have to be defended by the President who is considered as the custodian of the Constitution. Issuing an appeal to the MLAs and MPs to vote and support Mrs Lakshmi Sahgal, the Left parties pointed out that the dubious agenda of the BJP behind Mr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam’s candidature was no more under doubt. But unfortunately, the constituents of the NDA and the largest Opposition party, the Congress, had fallen prey to the machinations of the BJP for cheap popularity, instead of adopting a politically matured stand at this critical occasion. They reminded the electoral college from Haryana that the real intentions of the BJP behind Mr Abdul Kalam’s candidature was to avoid a debate over those disastrous policies due to which the BJP and its allies had to face humiliating defeats in almost all elections in the recent years. |

HYSS to hold protest rally Narnaul, July 10 In an interview with ‘NCR Tribune’, Mr Yadav said here today that whenever farmers raised their voices to press for equitable distribution of water to south Haryana, the past governments and the present one had tried to suppress them by way of lathi charge or police firing. He said the movement would continue till the region got adequate supply of canal water. It is pertinent to mention that peasants have now started shifting to Rajasthan where water is available. Mr Yadav lashed out at the police and district administration over the lathi charge and registration of false cases against the activists of the
HYSS. He said: These days, Narnaul and its surrounding areas, especially Ateli Mandi, were
Lamenting over the damage of three of his vehicles by the police, he said: “What was the fault of the vehicles and the peasants? We were peacefully marching towards the Deputy Commissioner’s office to hand over our charter of demands of supply of adequate water and power, due share in the appointment of unemployed youth of south Haryana in MNCs etc. Nobody obstructed any vehicle at Mahabir Chowk. When shoes and chappals can be thrown in the Vidhan Sabha sessions, why can’t we peacefully demonstrate and hand over the charter of our demands to the district administration?” Mr Naresh Yadav said the movement for obtaining water had been initiated since July 7 from Mahendragarh parliamentary area. The activists were making door-to-door visits to mobilise the farmers to come forward to strive hard for water. The movement was not political in any way, but a fight for the survival of the people of south Haryana, he said. |

BSNL takes Internet subscribers for a ride Ghaziabad, July 10 Though Crompton-Greaves Ltd., had installed servers to provide connections to two lakh people, it had eventually come down to one-and-a-half lakh connections. Strangely, the company had instructed its officials to stop providing Internet connections. With these developments, the Ghaziabad subscribers have felt cheated. At such a time when Internet connections are being provided even in the remote rural areas, the residents of Ghaziabad were being deprived of Internet connections for more than a year now despite being close to the national Capital. This is shocking, said a computer professional. It’s been more than a year now and the residents are still waiting for their Internet connections, he said. The Chief General Manager of BSNL, Dehradun, said that subscribers will have to wait for another two months to get their Internet connections since they have stopped giving fresh connections. Sixteen divisions have been affected by the ongoing upgradation of the server installed in Delhi. According to sources, as soon as the server is upgraded to three lakh connections, 20,000 new Internet connections would be available in western Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal. BSNL sources said that the low capacity server installed at its Delhi office had failed to bear the load of the new connections. The server installed by Crompton-Greaves had developed some problems which could not be rectified and therefore the BSNL officials at Delhi had asked their officials in Ghaziabad and other places to stop providing new connections. “This is the first time that BSNL has bought the server from Crompton-Greaves and there might have been some flaw in the deal”, an official said. The BSNL officials had reportedly contacted the suppliers several times but the problem continues to persist. It is learnt that officials at Delhi had asked its staff at Ghaziabad to stop providing Internet connections to Ghaziabad subscribers. |

Pact falls through, RWAs plan own cable network Faridabad, July 10 A spokesman of the district administration, in a press release issued here last evening, stated that the agreement reached recently had got cancelled, following the opposite stances taken by the operators and the RWAs over the issue of identifying the categories and deciding who would be eligible for the rates of Rs 100 and 200 per connection per month. The operators claimed in a meeting held on Tuesday that it was their right to decide which consumer would come under a certain category. It may be recalled that as per the agreement reached on July 4, residents of urban sectors
(kothis) will have to pay Rs 200 while people living in colonies and slums Rs 100 per month as connection charges. The RWA federation has opposed the claim of the cable operators in this regard and stated that if it was done, they would not accept it. The meeting ended without any consensus, resulting in the cancellation of earlier agreement. While the cable operators said that the local administration or any organisation had no right to decide or fix the connection rates and that they themselves would decide about the rates and categories, the RWA federation stated that it would not pay more than Rs 150 per connection now and if any connection was disconnected, it would lodge an FIR with the police against the operator concerned. A spokesman of the RWAs stated that it was considering to set up a cooperative society to run a parallel cable network, if the operators do not agree to their demand. The local administration has also warned the cable operators of legal action if found to be violating the rules and regulations of the Cable TV Network Act. On the other hand, due to the `confusion’ prevailing, the consumers have been charged at the rate of Rs 200 per connection in various sectors for the month of July. |
