Haryana to have 8 more MCs Chandigarh, September 12 Official sources said here that the decision was first approved by the state Cabinet following which the necessary changes in the Act concerned were carried out in the recently concluded monsoon session of the State Assembly. The Bill has been now sent to the Governor for his formal endorsement following which steps will be initiated for its execution, the sources said. The towns which would be affected by the move were Gurgaon, Rohtak, Hisar, Panipat, Jagadhri, Yamunanagar, Ambala City and Ambala Cantonment. According to a proposal drafted by the Urban Development Department of Haryana, the twin towns of Ambala City and Ambala Cantonment would be clubbed to attain the requirement of having three lakh population in the area covered by the corporation. Similarly, Jagadhri and Yamunanagar would be clubbed. The population living in the municipal areas of Rohtak, Panipat and Hisar was far below the three lakh mark and the state government had decided to expand the municipal area by incorporating urbanised villages in the neighbourhood of these towns so that the cut-off population criterion for having corporations could be met. “A village called Nurwala, near Panipat, has 18,000 voters. Therefore, the total population of this fully urbanised village is at least 60,000. We have decided to bringing such villages within the municipal limits”, stated an official here. |

No Congressman has
joined HVP: HPCC Faridabad, September 12 Reacting to a report published from Kurukshetra about several hundred Congress men joining the HVP, in presence of the HVP General Secretary, Mr Surender Singh, recently, Mr Hooda described the claim as baseless and misleading. Asking the HVP to furnish the names of the Congress workers who joined the HVP, he said the HVP had been making “false claims”. On the contrary, Mr Hooda stated that Mr Shyam Sunder Kapoor, who had contested the 1999 Lok Sabha elections for the Faridabad seat on the HVP ticket, had now joined the Congress along with hundreds of his supporters. He alleged that the claims of the HVP supremo, Mr Bansi Lal, and his son had been part of “publicity stunt”. Mr Hooda claimed that the Congress had been infused with new confidence and it was ready to counter any “anti-people” move of the Chautala government. Alleging that the Chautala government had failed on various fronts, he said the real authority was with the “father-sons” team and no minister or elected MLA of the party had any say in the functioning of the state government. He asked the Chautala government to issue a White Paper on the foreign tours of the Chief Minister and MLAs and explain how these tours had benefited the people of Haryana. He described these tours as wastage of public money. |

Probe sought into Rajdhani mishap Ambala, September 12 The chairman of the council, Dr N.C. Jain, demanded that a retired Judge of the Supreme Court should carry out the inquiry. “The railway authorities are increasing the fare every year, but facilities and safety of passengers are ignored,” a press note claimed. He recalled a train accident near Mori in Ambala Cantt. “At that time, Lal Bahadur Shastri was the Railway Minister and was present at Ambala on the day of the accident. He was scheduled to address a public meeting the same night, Taking moral responsibility for the accident, Shastri resigned from his ministry at the meeting,” he said. “It is worth appreciating that at the end of the meeting, he ordered his staff, including the driver, personal assistant and security personnel to return to Delhi as he was no more a minister after submitting the resignation to the public. It is worth noting that at the end of the meeting, he went to the PWD Rest House in a rickshaw and not in his official car. He has set an example of a high integrity of a person holding such a high post of public
eminance,” he added. Mr Jain observed that the trains were overloaded and facilities were not up to the mark. The trains run late and information is not available about the exact arrival or departure time. “It is demanded that the Railways. and the ministry should look into the complaints of the public on priority basis,” he said. |
