PU to give concessions to students Chandigarh, September 21 The university finally plans to give financial assistance to 5 per cent students in the newly started University Institute of Engineering and Technology from the current academic session onwards. The proposal has once again featured on the agenda of the Senate following its deference last time as the university needed a legal advice on the aspect of offering free seats. Now, the university will offer free seats “ in each course to meritorious and economically weaker sections of the society”. Prof K.N. Pathak, Vice-Chancellor, said a communication in this regard had already been forwarded to the institute and the concessions would be given to the deserving students from the current academic session onwards. The university would refund the money of the students already enrolled if they apply and qualify for the concession now. The condition laid by the university states that the interested students must have passed the qualifying examination in first division (60 per cent) and should belong to economically weaker section of the society. The annual income of the candidate’s family should not exceed more than Rs 1 lakh. Those holding yellow cards The university says there will be no brother-sister concession or any other concession in the self-financing courses. The brother-sister concession will also not extend to the NRI category seats. The Senate will also deliberate on a letter of the Central Government about extending concessions to Kashmiri displaced persons. The same concession was issued last year and the university proposes to extend it this year as well. However, negligent number of Kashmiri displaced students have taken admission in majority of the courses of the university. These students will be given 5 per cent weightage provided the candidate fulfils minimum qualifications. There is also a proposal of 5 per cent increase in the intake that will amount to additional seats but not exceeding three in number. The university proposes to increase one seat in the professional courses for them including: B Ed, M Ed, LLB, LLM, B.Lib, M Lib, B Pharma, M Pharma, Master of Mass Communication, MCA, MBA, M Tech, ME and BE. The university was also considering a programme of the All India Technical Education for promotion of postgraduate education and research in engineering and technology. The scholarship amount here is planned to be increased from Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,000 per month. The contingency grant for GATE qualified student will be increased from Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000. For doctoral programmes, the scholarship will be raised from Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000 besides increase for bachelors and masters courses. The national fellowship amount for doctoral research will be Rs 12,000 per month and contingency grant will be Rs 25,000. |

Hans Raj Hans given armed security Chandigarh, September 21 This was disclosed here today by the pop singer during an emotional interaction with TNS and later with mediapersons. The Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, has also got in touch with him and assured him of full protection in his dispute with the owners of the Super Cassette Industries, the makers of T-series audio and video albums, provided the pop singer is not wrong on his facts. An FIR had already been registered at Jalandhar against the owners of the Super Cassette Industries for alleged cheating and infringement of Copyrights Act etc. Hans’ interaction with media was held at Chandigarh Press Club and was attended among others by a large number of Punjabi singers in a show of solidarity with him. Normally, smiling and relaxed, Hans Raj Hans was visibly tense today. At one stage, he choked while describing the situation he was facing and had to be given a glass of water to regain composure. He also made it known that he was off singing for the time being. “How can you expect me to sing in these circumstances?” he asked. The alleged death threats have come in the wake of pop singer’s dispute with the Super Cassette Industries over the cutting of new music and video albums. Hans Raj Hans says that he has made recording of new albums conditional: unless his album on the poems of Shiv Kumar Batalvi, recorded almost two years ago, was released by the company he would not sing any new songs. The company, he alleged, was dillydallying on this issue because it felt that the Shiv’s album was not a worthwhile commercial proposition. It was, therefore, more keen on recording other commercial pop songs. As a matter of fact, he complained, the company had tricked him into singing certain songs and released the album entitled “Hai Soniya”, without his consent and knowledge. Hans said he had been under tremendous pressure from his friends and admirers ever since he cut the video album featuring the number “Agg Turi Jandi aye...” showing semi-nude girls gyrating to pulsating music. Although the album had been a runaway hit, it had drawn widespread criticism from his fans because it clashed with his carefully cultivated image of a serious singer of
sufinana kalam and a votary of good clean music. He had, therefore, decided that he would sing only good, clean songs. It was in pursuit of that desire that he recorded the poems of Shiv Kumar Batalvi. It was, therefore, sad the company had failed to release it even two years after recording it. Hans said: “Lyrics should be acceptable to the civilised society and private albums should not mix melody with voyeurism to make cheap gains. Even though I am professional singer, yet I have tried arduously that my songs should leave people laughing, make them happy or sad so that the whole family can enjoy them”. He said: “I am aware that in the They don’t even show any concern for society and social welfare. Therefore, some cassette companies are ready to malign the purity of music just to increase the sales figures”. “I have taken a firm stand against the vulgarisation of music. I myself am part of the music industry. I cannot claim that I am above all the vices but everybody knows that I try my utmost not compromise on the purity and quality of the music. My controversy with the current owner of T-Series is a proof of the fact that my struggle is only to preserve the melody and chastity of the music”, he added. He also denied that he had breached his contract with T-Series and challenged the company to prove it, failing which it should apologise to him and release the cassette of Shiv’s songs. “I have no other controversy or altercation with the T-series”, he declared. |

Kajheri
resident booked for raping girl for 2 years Chandigarh, September 21 The plight of the girl came to light when she escaped from the custody of the suspect, Ram Brij, a shopkeeper, and reported the matter to the police through a human rights organisation. According to information available, the girl, a resident of Geeta Colony in Delhi, was a relative of the accused. On June 15, 2000, Ram Brij approached the girl and requested her to accompany him to Chandigarh where his ailing wife was admitted to a hospital.

There the accused along with his accomplice, Nageshwar Dubey, repeatedly raped her. Then she was taken to a house in Kajehri village, where the man pretended
Every day the girl was threatened with the nude pictures in possession of the man. Later she gave birth to a baby boy. Efforts were also made to sell the girl to someone in Delhi.

READER'S WRITE THE lack of
community feeling, sense of belonging, coupled with stress of living in the most expensive city is taking its toll of Chandigarh’s residents. The pursuit of material success and comforts at any cost, wrong eating habits,
sedentary lifestyle, spending hours before television or computer, and lack of physical activity is responsible for obesity in the majority of the people. Obesity is no joke and sign of ‘prosperity’ as is often claimed by Punjabis but in reality it is a self-inflicted disease which makes you look older, inefficient and leads to several health hazards. From fat to fit is, no doubt, a long journey but if a person can discipline himself or herself, he or she would be able to shed kilos and become fit, with little persistence, will power and changed lifestyle. Those who have failed in their earlier attempts of fighting the battle of the bulge should give it another try and I can assure you that they will succeed. Four months back, I was also fat. On May 3, 2002, I was 93 kilos, ashamed, and disgusted with the way the mirror reflected the protruding middle-age spread which could have deceived any gynaecologist mistaking it to be healthy pregnancy. Fifteen kilos lighter on September 3, 2002, without spending a pie on any of the much-advertised and marketed slimming packages and diet, I am on my way from being fat to fit. All this happened, thanks to the Fragrance Garden in Sector 36 which is an oasis in the jungle of concrete structures and stressful living conditions in Chandigarh. The beautifully laid garden, fragrant with blooming flowers and vibrant with enthusiastic walkers and joggers, can help any one lose weight by spending an hour using the most unused mode of transport — legs. For me, a visit to the garden in the morning and evening has become a pilgrimage because after losing weight, the very meaning and quality of my life has changed. This can happen to you also. Happy jogging! HARINDER MOHAN SINGH,
Chandigarh Amend Rent Act This has reference to the report on the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Punjab Rent Act 1949 (The Tribune, May 25). The Delhi High Court has struck down the provisions of 4,6,9 of the Rent Act in a historic ruling. Similar provisions of the EPU Rent Act, 1949, are also likely to be struck down by the court. Consequent to the Chandigarh Administration’s decision hiking the rentals, there is resentment among the employees. The lower courts are full of litigation between owners and tenants for non-payment of rent for years and vacation of the premises. Some people believe in words rather than written documents regarding the rent which is increased from time to time. While there were no written agreements between the landlords and tenants earlier, in some cases, typed or handwritten rent notes on plain paper were given by the tenants. There are cases where tenants paid rent in the courts many a time and the judges take no notice of repeated lapses. They invariably favour the tenants as the law is defective and corruption is mounting. The owners are made to suffer under trying conditions. Since Partition, major changes have taken place, but the 1949 Act is still operating. It is time the Punjab and Haryana High Court was amended as per the directions of the Supreme Court. Lt-Col P.S. SARANG (retd),
Chandigarh Professional tax Professional tax being imposed by the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh will have to be opposed tooth and nail. We pay taxes in every sphere of our life. Even a tiny match box sells at a price inclusive of excise tax. Imposition of professional tax will evoke protests by the overburdened people. The authorities seem to have no limit from squeezing the pockets of the law-abiding citizens. Big houses can afford to pay taxes but small houses can’t. The powers that be in the Municipal Corporation should think twice before taxing people. ANOOP SHARMA,
Chandigarh Unsafe road The roads at SAS Nagar are not safe for vehicles, particularly during nights. Cows are mostly seen in the middle of the road at night. You can never drive comfortably on the main road of Phases 1 and 6 near the traffic barrier. Often accidents occur due to these animals. It is the duty of the authorities concerned to make every road safe and accident-free. But the roads of SAS Nagar demonstrate the carelessness of the authorities. The main road starting from the Mohali Barrier, Phase-I leading to the Government Hospital, Phase 6, has become accident-prone. Stray animals like cows and dogs from nearby villages come on the road and create havoc for vehicles, particularly for the two-wheelers. During night, due to poor visibility, black cows, dogs etc. cannot be seen and thus become the main reason for the accidents. Waste material, garbage attract these animals. Residents should try to keep the vast area neat and clean without depending on the authorities. I also request the authorities to make the life of every citizen safe from accidents so that a person leaving his house for shopping may be expected to return without hurting himself. BHUPINDER
SINGH HAPPY, SAS Nagar |
NCRB points out flaw in registration certificates Chandigarh, September 21 The procedural flaw came to light when the Chandigarh Police during the course of verifying the record of second hand vehicles, bearing registration number of Chandigarh, noticed that the registration certificate did not bear the complete engine and chassis number. Sources in the police said the error was pointed out by the vehicle coordination system of the National Crime Research Bureau (NCRB), set up recently at the police headquarters. The NCRB’s facility contains national data about the stolen vehicles and is helpful for the buyers of second hand vehicles to get the records of the respective vehicles checked up by the police. A certificate of ‘ the vehicle not involved in any crime’ was issued by the police. However, when the applicants approached the police with the registration card of the respective vehicle, the computerised system failed to tally the information with its data. Reason, the engine and chassis number on the registration certificate were incomplete— it did not contain the complete series inscribed on a vehicle. Finding no way out, the applicants are being asked to trace the engine and chassis number on a paper and attach it along with their applications. Feeling harassed, an applicant said it was the duty of the registration authority to remove the flaw. Each time vehicle was sold and again
resold, a traced copy of the engine and chassis number had to be submitted to the police. An official said the Chandigarh Administration had been requested to remove the flaw and it would not involve any extra expenditure. The flaw could lead to stolen second hand vehicles landing in the hands of unsuspecting buyers as the police verification system did not except the incomplete data. The official said after Delhi, the Chandigarh had become an important market for the sale of second-hand stolen vehicles. In Chandigarh alone, record of the NCRB reveals theft of at least 5000 vehicles. |

Slums may turn HUDA’s dream sour Panchkula, September 21 HUDA proposes to develop approximately eight acres of the land in Sector 17 here as a medical complex. It also plans to develop at least 20 clinics and 21 nursing home on this undulated piece of land. The medical complex here is proposed to be developed on the pattern of Medicity in Gurgaon. A sum of Rs 89 lakh has been sanctioned for carrying out development works on this land by the end of this year by making roads, pavements and parking complex. The sites will be up for auction by June 2003. The proposal for setting up a medical complex was chalked out years ago on this land in Sector 17, when HUDA had banned all commercial and professional activity (including nursing homes, hospitals and clinics) to function from residential areas. At that time, there was a lot of demand for setting up a medical complex. However, with HUDA finally giving a nod to these clinics and nursing homes in residential areas, the project was stalled. The authorities have now chosen a site adjacent to Rajiv and Indira colonies two of the biggest labourers’ habitation in the region. However, with authorities still not contemplating either demolition of these colonies or their resettlement elsewhere, the medical complex seems to be a distant dream. Officials maintain that the development on several acres of the prime land here has been put on hold due to these colonies. Not only is HUDA losing revenue to be earned through auction of encroached land under jhuggis, but the areas surrounding these slum/ labour colonies fails to attract those buying property here. A perfect example in this regard is the fall in prices of commercial and residential property in Sector 17 and in Industrial Area, Phase-1, because of its proximity to Rajiv Colony. A total of 56 acres of land here (and partly in Chandigarh) is under these slums and more than 10,000 jhuggis with about 50,000 residents live here. Since the land chosen for the medical complex is farther away from commercial complex of Sector 17 and nearer to the labour colonies, doubts are being raised over the viability of the project. Also, though HUDA had earlier tried to auction/allot this land to nursing homes/hospitals/clinics a number of times, before 1988 , but without much success. It is also being contemplated whether a huge sum of money should be spent on carrying out development works on this land. |

Drive
against adulteration to be intensified Chandigarh, September 21 The drive, the officials assert, has been going on a continuous basis for a long time with positive results, but now the officials have decided to “get down to business even more seriously”. “Besides other things, we have always been focussing our attention on checking food adulteration in an attempt to ensure that the residents remain healthy,” the officials claim. “Now, with the existing infrastructure, we have decided to step up our efforts”. The focus of the renewed drive, the officials assert, would be to apprehend shopkeepers who are selling misbranded articles or were indulging in adulteration of spices and other food products, the officers reveal. “From our own experience and after conducting a thorough survey of the markets all over the city, we can say for sure that a large number of products are being sold in the shops without specifying the ingredients,” an official asserts. “We were even able to lay our hands on certain products which contained non-vegetarian ingredients without even mentioning the same on the container”. This, he claims, amounted to the commission of an offence and action was being taken against the offenders. As far as the adulteration of spices and other food stuff is concerned, the officials add that in a large number of cases they found that colour was being mixed with the masalas being sold loose to the unsuspecting residents. “A substantial number of samples of spices taken by us and sent for analysis to check whether they were adulterated, were found to be impure,” the officer confirms. “In majority of cases, we have already initiated proceedings against the adulterators”. Giving details of the intensified drive, the officer adds: “This time we plan to lay extra emphasis on shops in and around the slums and colonies spread all over the city”. He adds, “We are not trying to say that shopkeepers in slums sell adulterated stuff, but to be on safer side we will be carrying out checks. Our staff will not only be acting on the basis of specific complaints received by our department, but we will also be collecting samples on our own from shops we suspect to be selling adulterated stuff. After gathering the samples by following the due procedure of law, we will send them for analysis. If found to be adulterated, we will be taking action against them as prescribed under the relevant laws”. |

Lake Club Director told to procure oars Chandigarh, September 21 The aid might prove a big help for the rowers who are scheduled to participate in the Junior National Rowing Championship to be held at Pune and also for other tournaments. Colonel Berry said the purchase of the oars would be made by the UT Sports Department and its procurement would be done from Pune. Colonel Berry later told this reporter that keeping in mind the tragic death of Ravi Ankit, few days back, number of security steps would be taken to check the occurrence of such mishaps in future. He said yesterday they had taken the decision to have registration of only those rowers who were well versed in swimming. The registration 106 trainees in rowing, canoeing and kayaking was temporarily cancelled. He said swimming tests for 50 trainees were conducted today in which each swimmer was required to remain under water without moving arms and legs for at least five minutes. By another decision, the rowers would now have to wear orange coloured outfit so that they could be identified from a distance. Moreover, the trainees would not be allowed to practice alone and a companion would have to accompany each trainee. If the event was of such nature then another team of rowers would follow the trainee at a distance. Colonel Berry said though rules were being followed earlier, but with these amendments lapses would be minimised. He said they had met with officials of the Chandigarh Rowing Association led by its president Mr T.C. Gupta today. It was decided to hold Chandigarh State Junior Rowing Championship tomorrow at 3.30 p.m., which will also form the basis for selection of the UT team for the National Rowing Championship. |

Peepal
tree a threat to three flats Chandigarh, September 21 The occupants are scared while the maintenance staff is not acting on their
complaints. Surprisingly, the roots of the tree are not visible. On careful examination, however, one can see that the walls of the houses have developed cracks. The tree has been around for a few years. In the past few months, the roots of the tree have been spreading at a rapid pace. In one of the houses, an occupant had put up a wooden beam under the concrete beam to prevent it from collapsing. ‘‘We are afraid that the structure will collapse in heavy rain,’’ said a resident. Already, bricks on the walls on the outside have started peeling off. |

Auto spare dealers get raw deal Chandigarh, September 21 When the auto mechanics were to be shifted and the new market in Sector 48 was coming up, several auto parts dealers were invited to make applications. Acting on advertisements issued in various newspapers the shopkeepers applied for the same. A scrutiny was carried out by the Administration but several of them were declared ineligible on one ground or the other. One of the prime reason was the fact that several of them were running their trade from self-owned or rented out-showrooms, which were categorised under the general trade category on shops. Since carrying out auto spare parts trade was permitted under the general category, the names of several shopkeepers were deleted from the list of allottees. The reason given for rejection was that the shop was being run from a showroom meant for general trade. When the applicants were not allowed in the draw of lots, a list was displayed outside the Estate Office of ineligible applicants. This clearly stated the reason. Everything was fine, the shopkeepers carried on with their trade even as their competitors did roaring business in other newly developed auto markets. The Administration, vide a notification, has changed the category of trade and under the new laws, an auto spare parts shop falls in special category and
none can run a shop which is under the general trade category. After the new laws came into force, the Sector 21 market shopkeepers have petitioned the Finance Secretary. Since then it has been an anxious wait as notices of misuse of building are inevitable. They are now demanding that the allotment of shops be made to them. |
