Delhi Govt gets into drought mode New Delhi, July 29 Monday’s Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has decided to dash off a letter to the Government of India protesting against Delhi’s exclusion from the meeting of states affected by drought. The meeting chaired by Union Agriculture Minister Ajit Singh was held last week. Is Delhi then in the grip of a drought ? Nobody is willing to offer any comment just yet. “Drought-like conditions are prevailing in Delhi as well,” is all Ms Dikshit will say for now. Her Cabinet colleague and Revenue Minister Haroon Yusuf has a different take on the situation. “The expected date of onset of monsoon in the Capital was July 19. The quantum of rainfall in Delhi so far is 62.9 mm when the normal rainfall should have been 217.8 mm by now. The deficit of rainfall therefore is a negative 71 per cent,” Yusuf says by way of explaining the incidence of a drought-like situation. The chief minister will acknowledge, reluctantly though, that the Government of NCT of Delhi has been slow in reading the situation. The survey to assess the loss of kharif crop and vegetables due to drought-like situation was ordered as late as last week. She has since directed the Divisional Commissioner and the Development Commissioner to submit the details of loss within two days. The survey is being conducted by the Department of Revenue. The officials engaged in the survey have been told to assess the failure of the crop and to inform the Government as to the extent of damage – the total area as well as the farmers affected and the likely damage that has been caused in the rural area due to drought-like situation. Development and Revenue Minister Haroon Yusuf, in turn, says officials have been told to formulate a contingency plan to cope with the situation. Accordingly, Chief Engineer of the Department of Irrigation and Flood Control has been asked to take up certain measures to ensure availability of irrigation water to the smaller and marginal farmers. The chief engineer has also been asked to work out the feasibility and modalities of installing deep bore tubewells along the Najafgarh drain in west Delhi and shallow-capacity tubewells along the Western Yamuna Canal in North West Delhi for providing additional irrigation water. The minister has also directed the officials concerned to monitor the supply of vegetables and other perishable goods to the Delhi markets. “The government,” he has warned wholesalers, “will not tolerate any attempt on their part to speculate or make efforts to unnecessarily hike the prices of vegetables and other commodities.” |

Delhi BJP pre-empts Cong on drought relief New Delhi, July 29 The BJP leaders urged the Union Agriculture Minister, Mr Ajit Singh, to take “appropriate initiative” in view of the pathetic conditions being faced by farmers in Delhi as the state government had so far shown “laxity” over the issue. The signatories to the letter are the four BJP MPs from the Capital – Mr Madan Lal Khurana, Mr Sahib Singh Verma, Mr Lal Behari Tiwari, Dr Anita Arya and the Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Prof Jagdish Mukhi. The BJP leaders said the Congress-led Delhi Government had so far shown “laxity in carrying out the survey of the drought-hit areas and making arrangements for providing relief and compensation, whereas all other state governments had already carried out surveys and worked out estimations for claiming relief and compensation from the Union Government.” The leaders in the letter urged the Centre to declare 193 villages in the Capital as drought-hit areas and arrange for providing them relief and compensation, stop recovery of interests and loan instalments for one year from these farmers, work out the compensation for loss of crops at the rate of Rs 10,000 per acre and the payment be made accordingly and arrange for free fodder for the animals. As this drought was going to hit the coming rabi crop also because the soil has been fully taken over by white ants, arrangements should, therefore, be made to appoint specialists to carry necessary tests to get the land free from white ants and make it cultivable, arrange for interest-free loans so that the farmers were able to grow rabi crop. As some farmers did not have cultivable land and were dependent on hired land, a survey of such farmers should be carried out separately and appropriate arrangements be made to provide them relief and compensation, the letter said. The BJP leaders said the Delhi Government continued to harp on making the Yamuna pollution-free, even as waste from sewers continued to flow in the river. The leaders suggested that sewers could be diverted for the useful purpose of irrigation and making the Yamuna free from pollution. The farmers, who had applied for tubewell connections, should be given connections on a priority basis, the leaders added. |

Fodder turns noxious for want of rain Ghaziabad, July 29 Drought has affected the cattle very badly. There is a general scarcity of water and fodder for cattle. Fodder was sown in 35,400 hectares of land in Ghaziabad district alone. Fodder crop on 19,000 hectares has become parched. As a consequence of the drought-like conditions green fodder is becoming affected with HCN poison, which is quite common in some of the neighbouring districts too. The district Veterinary Officer, in his report to the District Magistrate has stated that HCN poison seems to have affected the fodder crop. Farmers are being educated on this through the Pashu Mitra Mandali. Cattle breeders have been advised never to feed cattle with chhoti jowar fodder which stands less than three feet in height. The cattle in the district are being given injections according to the roster to safeguard them against diseases. |

GPS gets nod, now PCRs can’t play truant New Delhi, July 29 The ministry has already given its nod to the augmenting of the sniffer dog squad and the Bomb Disposal Squads (BDS) to effectively counter the threat from terrorists. The GPS will be installed at the Delhi Police headquarters very soon, sources said. The Delhi Police have already procured a satellite, which will be the hub of the GPS. With its installation, the Delhi Police will become the first state in the country to have such a system. A special team of technically qualified personnel will look after the GPS, which will be headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police and will be under the administrative control of the Central Police Control Room. The GPS will help locate the PCR vans. A computer will be installed in the GPS centre and in the PCR vans to enable the officers to monitor the movement of the vehicles. There have been persistent reports about misuse of PCR vehicles. |

PUBLIC PLACES Meerut, July 29 Several senior doctors have protested against the incident and gheraoed the Superintendent of the R L Sharma Hospital. According to the reports, a person called Shahid was admitted to the hospital in a serious condition. His intestines were damaged and he was writhing in pain. His attendant took him to the emergency ward, but he was sent to Ward No. 9. Dr Awasthi was on duty in the ward. Seeing the serious condition of the patient, Dr Awasthi referred him to the emergency ward. According to the eyewitness, the emergency incharge, Dr R L Sharma, sent him back to the male surgical ward, saying that his condition was not so serious. Meanwhile, the condition of the patient deteriorated and he died even as he was being given a second bottle of blood. The livid attendant began shouting slogans against the hospital officials and, later, he and his associates also gheraoed the Medical Superintendent of the hospital. Taking a serious note of the incident, the Superintendent immediately called a meeting and asked the doctors in the emergency ward to conduct themselves properly. Several senior doctors agreed with the Superintendent. This infuriated the emergency incharge, Dr Sharma, who got up and started beating up Dr Awasthi of the male surgical ward. Dr Sharma pinned Dr Awasthi down, hit him with his legs and even slapped him. Hearing the commotion, several patients, attendants and staff members came out of their wards. Many of them shouted slogans against the Superintendent. The situation was restored only after an hour. |

SPOTLIGHT Meerut, July 29 In her complaint to the Deputy Director, Education, she alleged that the mayor had locked the school building a month ago. A section of the school building was also razed to convert the premises into a commercial complex. The local police, including the station house incharge of the city Kotwali, did not take cognizance of the complaint given to the SHO Kotwali by the Deputy Director, Education, requesting the police to help evict the encroachers from the school premises. Through the sources in the education department, the ‘NCR Tribune’ came to know that Behlins Sarai Jena Primary School had been functioning in the building for more than 20 years. There are more than hundred girls in the current session. The head teacher of the girls’ school retired on June 30. Assistant teacher Mehrunishan was then made incharge of the school. There are two other teachers in the primary school. In her complaint, dated June 27 to the Kotwali police, the head teacher alleged that some influential people had encroached on the school building and requested the police to remove the encroachment. She also reported the matter to the district education officer, that her school building had been locked by the Mayor Hazi Akhlakh who reportedly got the building transferred in his name. She disclosed that several important documents and valuable articles were also locked in the school room. She alleged the two of its rooms had been demolished by the mayor and the rest of the building was still in his possession. District Education Officer Kunta Devi made a representation to the SHO. DEO then reported the matter to the Basic Shiksha Adhikari on the basis of a report filed by the assistant teacher and stated that the future of more than 100 schoolgirls was at stake. However, despite repeated complaints, no action has been taken. Nobody bothered to take note of the plight of the teachers and the students. The teachers and the students come to school daily but no classes are held. The city mayor is also an honorary president of the Basic Shiksha Parishad. When the ‘NCR Tribune’ tried to photograph the school building, four musclemen objected to
the act. |
Mining mafia does not spare even gail pipeline Ghaziabad, July 29 Earth around a 140-metre-long pipeline had been dug out and removed in an all-night operation between Jawali and Rajpur villages. This has created panic among officials of the Gas Authority of India Ltd. Now, in an emergency operation, the pipeline is being covered with earth and sand. This GAIL pipeline was formally inaugurated by the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, at a huge public function near Loni last year with a lot of publicity. The GAIL steel pipeline is normally placed between 5 ft and 15 ft below the ground level. The illegal earth mining mafia did not spare even this precious national asset and removed the earth from all around the steel pipeline. It could be seen hanging naked and without any earth support or covering at many places. Till a few months ago the situation here was normal and the land was under cultivation but now earth has been dug out to a depth of about 8 ft to 10 ft. The mafia resorted to this illegal operation at night. Had some road accident taken place at the place, it would have caused a major catastrophe. According to the Deputy General Manager (Chemicals), Mr B. Das, of GAIL the company has already paid compensation to farmers for land up to 10 metres on one side and 20 metres on the other side around the LPG pipeline. Earth mining on this land after the compensation has been given is absolutely illegal. GAIL is contemplating taking legal action against the guilty persons involved in this illegal and dangerous activity. The GAIL officials have already sent a report to the central government in this connection, Mr Das has added. Unfortunately, the police are playing a dubious role in this whole episode. They maintain that the earth mining is being done with the administration’s permission. But it is pointed out by insiders that permission has been taken for some other places and the earth is being removed from some other fields. |

New general secretary for HVP in Ahirwal Rewari, July 29 Mr Anil Rao, a postgraduate from Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi, as well as a diploma holder in Marketing and Management, was earlier incharge of party affairs in Ahirwal at a time when the party had not done well in the electoral politics in the region. However, it goes to his credit that he along with other party loyalists made sincere attempts to re-establish the party’s image by bringing new activists into the party fold. Their efforts were further strengthened by the good performance of the party nominee in the by-election in Yamuna Nagar as well as the successful rallies of Mr Bansi Lal at Bawal and Birhor. However, the party activists were encouraged by the huge turnout at the HVP rallies in the Ahirwal region. The party organised massive protest rallies against the “anti-farmer and anti-people” policies of the Chautala government at Narnaul, Rewari and Gurgaon in quick succession in the month of June. These protest rallies were led by the HVP general secretary and former MP, Mr Surender Singh. The recent rally held at Sehlong and attended by Mr Surender Singh was another successful event of the party. Obviously, theses successful events and the growing influence of the party in the region has led to Mr Anil Rao’s elevation to the post of general secretary of the party. Even as it is a matter of pride for the region, it involves great responsibility for Mr Rao. However, only time will tell how effective the leadership of Mr Rao will be in transforming the growing impact of the party into electoral gains for the party in the next Assembly elections. |

law. Meanwhile, Manoj while in judicial remand, told the ‘NCR Tribune’ that his in-laws had ruined his married life. He had been a victim of conspiracy as his wife did not keep cordial relations with her in-laws. |

FACE TO FACE
ESTABLISHED
in 1970, as a non-profit, registered society, the Voluntary Health Association of India
(VHAI) today is a federation of 24 State Voluntary Health Associations, linking over 4000 member institutions across the country. It is one of the largest health and development networks in the world. The organisation advocates
people-centred policies for dynamic health planning and programme management in India. VHAI initiates and supports innovative health and development programmes at the grassroots with the active participation of the people. The beneficiaries of VHAI’s programme include health professionals, researchers, social activists, government functionaries and media personnel. In a tete-a-tete with the NCR Tribune, Mr Alok
Mukhopadhyay, the CEO of the organisation explains the various operational areas of VHAI and how they want to advocate “health for all”. What has been the hallmark of VHAI’s success in addressing all the developmental activities in India? The ability to adopt to the changing developmental needs of the country’s most needy, is the hallmark of any progressive organisation. This ideology has been the driving force behind all VHAI’s activities and has helped it emerge as a leading health and developmental organisation in the country. As a sensitive developmental agency, VHAI considers it as a sacred duty to be with the suffering people, when they need it most. Hence, in the wake of Orissa and Gujarat disasters, VHAI tried to build on people’s strength to turn these disasters into developmental initiatives. Please underline the goals set by VHAI in addressing the various issues of health in India? We want to ensure social justice and equity in the provision and accessibility of health care to every one, with emphasis on the vulnerable sections and the underprivileged of our society. Our organisation believes in promoting and strengthening a medically rational, culturally acceptable and economically sustainable healthcare system in the country. Additionally, we would work towards a development of sustainable and innovative strategies to ensure health and overall community development in remote, vulnerable areas through the Khoj projects. What are these Khoj
projects? VHAI runs a set of 19 comprehensive community health and development programmes called “KHOJ Projects” in some very underdeveloped, difficult and economically devastated areas of the country. By utilising health as an intervention point, these projects have been able to bring about substantive overall community development in the project areas. Some of these projects have been Sambhav in Shivpuri (MP), Organisation for Rural Reconstruction and Integrated Social Service Activities
(ORRISSA) in Orissa, Shanti Sadhana Ashram in Kamrup (Assam), Society to Uplift Rural Economy (SURE) in
Barmer, Rajasthan among others. What are the efforts taken by VHAI to communicate its message to its target audience? Effective communication through print, audiovisuals and folk art has been the backbone of VHAI’s work. Starting from a few publications to becoming one of the largest publisher of resource materials on developmental issues, the success of VHAI’s communications efforts lies on the felt needs of the people. At the same time, we are also focussing on mass media in reaching out to the common publics, the grassroot workers, the policy makers and government officials. We have recently emerged as a filmmaker of national repute on issues of social concern. The 26-episode serial ‘SHEILA’ - story of a woman’s struggle in a male dominated society was telecast on Doordarshan twice. Similarly, ‘ANANT’ a
tele-film on lives of four HIV positive patients was premiered on Star TV. Under the aegis of Films for Change, a joint initiative of VHAI and project SMITA (in fond memories of Smita Patil), Mumbai, a ffeature film, ‘APARAJITA’ - on adolescence and associated issues has also been premiered. It has received rave reviews from the development world. Other similar initiatives include
tele-serials and documentaries on developmental concerns. How is VHAI networked in India? We are currently one of the largest health and development networks in the world. Representation in 24 states in India through State Voluntgary Health Associations
(SVHA’s), partnership with more than 4000 grassroots organisations, a strong health worker movement with more than 1,20,000 health workers and a proactive networking with national and international agencies on advocacy issues have enabled VHAI to explore a plethora of issues on Health and Development in a comprehensive perspective. Some of our international partners being WHO,
UNDP, UNICEF, World Bank, ADB and many international NGOs. |

LJP chief threatens to move court on SYL Panipat, July 29 Addressing party workers after launching the state-wide membership drive, Capt Malik also charged the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, of not pleading the case with the Centre, particularly at a time when the state was facing a draught-like condition. He charged that Mr Chautala did not attend the meeting of the Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan called by the Centre to sort out the issue, which showed that the Haryana Government was not serious in getting its legitimate share of water. Terming the SYL canal as the “lifeline of Haryana”, the LJP chief demanded action as per the law against the Punjab Chief Minister for his deliberate attempts to block the implementation of the Supreme Court directives on the construction of the SYL canal. Coming down heavily on the Chautala government for the retrenchment of over 21,000 employees, he assured the retrenched staff that they would be taken back into service when the Lok Janshakti Party came to power. He also advocated that the right to work should be made a fundamental right. Stressing the need for the setting up a “self-employment commission”, he ridiculed the Haryana Government’s for demanding insufficient compensation when a large part of the state was reeling under draught. Criticising the disinvestment policies of the NDA Government, he charged it of selling prime public properties to the private sector for a song. Answering a question regarding alliance with other parties in the next Haryana Assembly poll, Capt Malik said the party had an open mind about entering into pact with “secular and progressive” parties. The general secretary and state spokesman, Mr Surender Singh Hooda, while claiming that the party was gaining ground in the state, informed that in a span of 3 months, 5,000 active members would be enrolled in the party in each district. Each active member in turn would enroll 25 members each. |
