Parties, unions take up cudgels for Sonepat DC Sonepat, September 24 In separate statements issued to the press here, they said that such threats would prove harmful if no action was taken against such elements. The DC, they claimed, has initiated action to take possession of 98 acres of valuable land from the leaseholders after the vacation of the stay order by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case. They also stated that the DC has done commendable work by giving the city a face-lift during his tenure, though he had faced stiff opposition from some quarters. The work includes the widening of various crossings, namely Subhash Chowk, Bus Stand, Mamoon Bhanja Chowk, near Hindu College railway crossing and the Shani Mandir. The DC, they said, has set up a park near Shani Mandir and improved other parks in different areas of the city. These representatives also disclosed that the DC had taken numerous measures to repair and widen the main roads and installed the statues of freedom fighters and religious leaders at various crossings in the city. The residents of the city would never forget these development works completed by the DC during his tenure. Meawhile, the Rai Vikas Manch president, Mr Dharamvir Chotiwala, has sent a letter to the Union Home Minister, Mr L K Advani, demanding adequate measures for the safety of the Deputy Commissioner. In a signed press statement, he condemned the threats to the DC’s life and warned that such elements would not be allowed to take the law into their hands and they would be taken to task by the members of the Manch. He called upon people to come forward and support the DC who is working for the beautification of the city and the rural areas of the district. |

With Maya away, securitymen play truant Ghaziabad, September 24 This despite the fact that the UP Chief Minister, Ms Mayawati, had recently voiced fears of threats to her life at a Press conference. She had named an MLA from the Apna Dal Party and a notorious criminal in this context. She even pleaded with the Centre to look into the matter. Subsequently, the security at her Delhi residence on Humayun Road was strengthened by the UP police who deployed some 29 Ghaziabad policemen headed by a DSP at her residence to ensure her safety. Teams of cops from Ghaziabad and Noida are deployed on 12-hour duty each at the Chief Minister’s Delhi residence. But when the Additional DG, UP police, visited the Chief Minister’s residence, he was shocked to find that 22 of the 29 security personnel posted there were absent from duty. An Inspector and two SIs of Ghaziabad police intelligence wing and 15 SIs were among those who played truant. The absentees included some commandos and two traffic police SIs. Some constables also played hooky. The Additional DG became quite worried. Some of those who made absented themselves were lucky as their names had not been entered in the attendance register. So their French leave went unnoticed. The Chief Minister’s security, which is a shared responsibility of the Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar cops, seems to be nobody's business. The only saving grace was that the Chief Minister was away in connection with elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Some of the police officials found missing reportedly had an alibi, “What can we do at the CM’s residence when she is away to J and K. In any case, we would have just sat there, wasting time.” The Additional DG has, however, ordered a departmental action against the missing police personnel. Of 29, only 7 policemen were found present at the Chief Minister’s residence. |

300 vehicles ‘arranged’ for INLD rally Faridabad, September 24 The authorities deny the charge that vehicle owners had been asked to surrender their vehicle for the rally.

It is reported that about 130 Tata Sumo vehicles have also been arranged for the purpose. The authorities have promised to get the vehicles fuelled, said a relative of a person here whose bus has been deputed for the ‘rally duty’. The INLD leaders and activists have claimed that a large number of party supporters would reach Jind tomorrow. The Congress and other opposition leaders have charged the state government with misusing its authority and the official machinery to ensure a big crowd. |

Sarna seeks facilities for
Pak-bound pilgrims New Delhi, September 24 He appealed to the Union Government to speak to the Pakistan authorities before Gurpurab to make special arrangement for trains for the pilgrims who intend to visit Nankana Sahib and other gurdwaras on the occasion of Gurpurab. The trains should start from Attari border. Besides, Wagha border should be opened to the pilgrims who want to go by road. While addressing newsmen, Mr Sarna said that in the US and European countries, people have started looking askance at the Sikhs after terrorist attacks at the World Trade Towers even though they had nothing to do with such barbaric acts. To improve the community image in European countries, the Union government should consider employing Sikh ambassadors in these countries who can help undo the damage to the image of the community. He also demanded that Punjabi be declared second language in the National Capital territory of Delhi as majority of Delhiites speak and understand it. A Bill passed by the Delhi Assembly in this regard is being kept in abeyance with the Central government. The DSGMC president claimed that there was no proper arrangement for parking near Gurdwara Bangla Sahib resulting in traffic chaos as devotees are forced to park their vehicles on the road. He demanded that the vacant land in front of the historical gurdwara should be given to either the management committee so that parking lot can be constructed at the site or the authorities themselves should construct the facility. However, the NDMC had issued notice over the construction at the site by the earlier gurdwara committee as there was no prior permission from the authorities concerned. The notice pointed out that unauthorised construction was liable to be sealed under Section 250 of the NDMC Act 1994. The earlier committee had initiated the construction of a parking lot which was subsequently abandoned.
Sikh leaders move NCM on hair-cutting Upset with the incident involving a Sikh boy whose hair was allegedly cut by miscreants, senior Sikh leaders today moved the National Commission for Minorities (NCM), seeking action in the matter. The teenager’s hair was allegedly cut during a scuffle in the toilet of a public school in Delhi by the miscreants wanting to settle scores with him. According to reports, 15-year-old Jaideep Singh was attacked in the school washroom on the premises of Modern School, Barakhamba Road, where he used to go for tennis practice. On Friday, Jaideep was accosted by five teenagers who cut his hair to avenge a fight during a pop show held on the school premises two months ago. Senior Sikh leaders have now filed a complaint with the NCM over the vexed issue. They have also written to the Lieutenant-Governor and the Delhi Government, demanding that the guilty be brought to book. |

Bridge to ease railway choke point Faridabad, September 24 It is reported that the proposal has been mooted to check the traffic congestion and the railway accidents at the crossing. It is learnt that thousands of residents use this crossing every day and a large number of accidents take place every year at the spot due to negligence. The project to construct the bridge is likely to start by the end of this year. The proposal for constructing a 2.5-km-long flyover at Badarpur border, to facilitate smooth travel for highway users, is in its final stage. According to the district authorities, the flyover would start from a spot near Badarpur village and will touch the ground near Sector-37 here. While it will be one of the longest flyovers, its construction would result in a saving of about 20 to 30 minutes in peak hours. Besides, it would reduce the number of accidents and the traffic congestion in a 3-km stretch. The flyover would be constructed under the supervision of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which has already announced its plans to provide a smooth artery from the Delhi border to Hodal town in the district. The authority has already built some new bus stops along the Mathura Road (NH-2) and plans to beautify and decongest the highway. The NHAI officials have asked the local authorities to remove encroachments on both sides of the main roads and clear the service lane to ensure that three-wheeler autorickshaws do not ply on the highway. However, it seems that the plan may get delayed as the work of clearing encroachments and repair of the service lane is yet to start. |

Villagers lynch another criminal Noida, September 24 The incident occurred around 3.30 am today in Smauddinpur village. Four persons forced their way into Shiv Lal's ‘chaupal’ where he, his wife Suresh and son Bhagat Singh were sleeping. The criminals were equipped with iron rods and revolvers.

On finding themselves surrounded and outnumbered, the criminals started firing at the villagers. However, the villagers overpowered one of them while his companions fled under the cover of darkness. The villagers beat the captured criminal with lathis by the villagers. He died soon after. The Dadri Kotwali police, who were informed, came and took the body of the unidentified criminal into their possession and sent it for autopsy. This is the second incident of its type in three days.

WB scheme to check diseases among milch animals Sonepat, September 24 The state government has already received the first installment of this amount from the World
Bank. This was stated by Mr Mohammad Ilyas, Minister for State for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development, at a function here on Monday. He disclosed that the state government had taken a series of measures to check the spread of diseases among milch animals, in a bid to boost milk production in the state. He also said that the state government would also provide financial assistance to the owners of milch animals so that they could initiate steps to check the spread of diseases among their livestock. The minister further said that the state government had set up an Animal Development Board during 2001 and an insurance scheme to cover the milch animals was also formulated. The scheme, he said, envisaged 50 per cent payment of insurance installments by the Animal Development Board and the remaining 50 per cent amount by the owners of milch animals. The scheme has come as a great relief to farmers who had to bear heavy financial losses in the past. According to the minister, the state government had drawn up a scheme for crossbreeding of milch animals like the world-famous Murrah buffaloes, to boost milk production. Under this scheme, the owners of such buffaloes would be given cash prizes at the rate of Rs 1,000 for the production of 12 kg milk, Rs 3,000 for 16 kg milk and Rs 6,000 for 20 kg of milk or more. The minister disclosed that the state government had decided to provide financial assistance of Rs 51,000 to the registered `Gaushalas’ in the state. He, however, denied that the state government had a scheme for providing financial assistance for the setting up bio-gas plants and fertiliser machineries in the state. Earlier, the minister witnessed the sports meet at Asadpur-Nandnaur village, about 15 km from the district headquarters here. |

DDA demolition in Panchsheel Enclave raises eyebrows New Delhi, September 24 Not only has the market been disfigured but many shop owners have suffered for no reason, it is learnt. The DDA started the demolition without informing or serving any prior notice to the shop owners. The unexpected demolition was a shock for visitors as well. There was a lot of confusion as to platforms in front of which all shops had been illegal or authorised. Mr Ravi Kalra, a regular visitor to the market, said, “It’s all because of personal grudges of the shop owners. I am a regular visitor and know almost all the people here. Since 1975, they have been here and this unexpected demolition is a setback for many of The unauthorised constructions on the side lane, including the ‘chabutras’ of four restaurants, were brought down. The four shops — 8, 12, 18 and 22 — were originally allotted to their owners for running restaurants. The owner of shop No. 18, Mr S. S. Singh, feels betrayed. He said, , “First of all, I have a stay order against the demolition in this place. I showed it to the DDA officials but they did not pay any heed. This place is allotted in the name of my wife, Reshma, in 1976 under the SC/ST category. The ‘chabutra’ is part of my shop. We have been running this place for the last 26 years under the name ‘Food Plaza’. We also have a valid licence from the MCD for running the restaurant.” “We asked the DDA to provide us with the copy of the layout plan, which will have proved that the ‘chabutra’ is part of the restaurant. But the layout plan was not shown despite submitting Rs 75 for the same. And, all of a sudden, our restaurant was demolished,” Mr S. S. Singh said. The shops allotted for restaurants was a small area of about 100 sq ft. “This is why the DDA made specific provisions for 1 ft high chabutras from the ground level adjoining the rear door of the restaurant to provide sitting arrangements for customers. The owner of shop No 20, Mr Gurwinder Singh, started harassing us as he wanted to build an opening towards our chabutra. We have not encroached any place; the DDA is not doing anything to non-original occupants who have constructed basements and put up hoarding illegally, as we cannot grease their palms. It’s sheer injustice,” Mr S. S. Singh alleged. The DDA also agrees that the platform has not been constructed illegally by the shop owners but insists that it was an encroachment. The place was allotted for sweet shops. The owners of both No.18 and No. 20 should sit and solve their dispute instead of troubling others. The DDA has also demolished some of the unauthorised constructions. Occupants of these areas did not say anything because they know that they have done something wrong. We managed to save only a few items like water coolers but the most of them had been lost.” |

PHDCCI resents move to defer sale of oil cos Gurgaon, September 24 Mr P. K. Jain, the vice-president of the PHDCCI and founder president of the Gurgaon Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), said that after a promising start to the disinvestment programme early this year, the recent decision of the Cabinet Committee on Disinvestment (CCD) to defer the privatisation had come as a major setback. “What is surprising is that in this case, there was no fear of the companies emerging as private monopolies as these companies operate in the oil refining and oil marketing sectors, which have a number of private sector competitors,” said Mr Jain. He added that the immediate fallout of the decision had been a setback to the investor’s confidence. The result was a sharp drop in stock prices of PSUs and a steep fall in market capitalisation. The PDHCCI vice-president said that the move had sent adverse signals regarding the government’s commitment to effect the second generation reforms, which could set the pace for reviving industrial growth in the country. The biggest casualty was the failure to realise that liberalisation, deregulation and privatisation had to move in tandem to achieve the high growth rates envisaged in the Tenth Plan, he said. He further said the opportunity cost of a delay in effecting the privatisation programme was immense as this might lead to the PSU stocks losing their sheen. Indeed, the stalling of the disinvestment process might result in the government receiving lower valuations at the time of eventual privatisation, he said. What was urgently required was to revive and hasten the disinvestment process as a mean to rekindle the sagging investor confidence. The government had to develop the political will to realise the target laid down for disinvestment in the Budget, he said. He further said that the switch on and switch off policy practised by the government should be discarded as this would create uncertainty and dampen investment prospects, both domestic and abroad. He suggested that the government should get out of business in order to pave the way for commercial decision-making and revitalise industrial growth. The PHDCCI has recommended that the disinvestment of oil companies should be achieved through the strategic sales route to ensure that the value of assets appreciates over the years. This should be followed up by the equity sales to the portfolio investors as this method would ensure higher valuations due to the sharp rise in stock price that follows privatisation. |

‘Chautala not following Devi Lal’s policies’ New Delhi, September 24 Mr Mor said that Devi Lal’s son, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, who is the Chief Minister of Haryana, was following and implementing the policies of former Chief Minister Bhajan Lal, instead of the policies of his father. Mr Mor said that when the struggle for reservation in jobs for Jats in Rajasthan was going on, the Haryana Chief Minister publicly announced that the moment Rajasthan announced job reservation for Jats, he would also implement a quota in Haryana the next day. Unfortunately, the said announcement had not been implemented till today, he said. However, Devi Lal had set up the Justice Gurnam Singh Commission. On the commission’s recommendation, reservation quota for Jats in Haryana was announced in 1990 by then Chief Minister Master Hukam Singh. In 1991, then Chief Minister Bhajan Lal got the job quota for Jats cancelled by another commission, called the Verma Commission. |
