Protest against IAF put off Zirakpur, November 25
Seven members of the committee — Mr Dharam Singh, Mr Davinder Singh, Mr Sukhdev Singh, Mr Haripal Singh, Mr Gurmeet Singh, Mr Nakshatra Singh and Mr Mohinder Singh — who were on a chain fast, broke it by accepting juice from Ms Sheelam Sohi, a member of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, who was here on the behalf of Ms Preneet Kaur. Earlier, the MP said she had received a representation from the committee on the restrictions imposed by the Department of Local Government of Punjab and the Indian Air Force. She said she would ask the Secretary of the Department of Local Government and the Chief Secretary to hold a meeting with the IAF authorities and members of the committee to find a solution that posed no threat to the national security. “In case the meeting fails to yield a positive result, the issue will be taken up with the Ministry of Defence,” she said. A delegation of the committee members led by Mr Jaspal Singh met Ms Preneet Kaur today and told her how inhabitants of 30 villages had been affected by the restrictions. The MP was in Dera Bassi to distribute grants to government schools under the Sarav Shiksha Abhiyan. Meanwhile, Mr Narinder Sharma, general secretary of the committee, said the agitation would be intensified if their problems were not solved within 15 days. The agitators from the 30 affected villages and various colonies, with members of the Dera Bassi unit of the Human Rights Watch, assembled in front of the office of the Zirakpur Nagar Panchayat and stopped the civic body staff from doing their work. Those who spoke at the gathering included Mr Dalip Singh, a former sarpanch of Lohgarh village; Rana R.S. Virk, a retired DSP; Brig G.S. Brar (retd), Col K.K. Bir Singh (retd); Mr K.K. Verma, president of the Zirakpur BJP unit; Mr Sher Singh, Mr Nitan Sood, Mr Narinder and others who have been affected by the decision. |

Deemed varsity status for PEC on cards Chandigarh, November 25 FACT
FILE The status of a deemed university for Punjab Engineering College is likely to be granted at a meeting of the University Grants Commission (UGC) scheduled for Wednesday. Once the board of the UGC okays it, the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) will issue a formal letter as well as circulate the guidelines laid down by the UGC. Sources in the education sector said the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has declined to grant the status of engineering college to Central Polytechnic. The grounds cited by the inspection committee are that the polytechnic lacks basic infrastructure like exclusive laboratories and space to house more classes
and run additional courses. Two regional committees of the AICTE earlier had inspected the polytechnic. The UT Administration had accordingly told the AICTE that additional construction was on which would create more space. A sanction to upgrade Central Polytechnic in Sector 26 into a full-fledged engineering college was granted by the MHRD subject to approval from the AICTE. The Chandigarh Administration in its appreciation had started that the institute was spread over 34 acres and was set up in 1959 and had all facilities to handle the work of an engineering college. Meanwhile, in the case of PEC, the upgrade means better quality of education. More autonomy will be provided for decision making on academic, financial and planning matters. The move will also make PEC eligible for grants under various UGC schemes and projects that require focus. PEC in its new status will also be eligible for a countrywide World Bank project, which entails improving technical capabilities of various institutions. The upgrade & of PEC will mean that city students who so far enjoy 85 per cent reservation in seats, will now enjoy 50 per cent reservation, which is the minimum prescribed standard. Students and their parents can, however, heave a sigh of relief as there will be no fee hike, as the budgetary allocation will continue from the Central Government on the same level as now for PEC . ‘‘There is no question of a fee hike,’’ said a well-placed source, while allaying fears about autonomy. Besides, all service conditions will remain the same for employees and teachers. PEC will be the second institute in the region to get the status. The other being the Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala. The administration had made out a case that the issue of upgrading PEC to a national
institution level had been lying pending for the past 40 years. In January, 2001 the MHRD had rejected an idea to upgrade PEC into an Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT). |

PU Reader jumps to death Chandigarh, November 25 Nikhil Syal, 55, fell on a vacant plot adjacent to the house (371). His younger son, Rohit, was at home at the time of the incident and it was he who rushed him to the PGI, where doctors declared him dead, at about 11.15 am. There were injury marks on the back of his head, that he had apparently sustained due to the fall. According to Nikhil’s father-in-law, Nikhil’s wife was out of the house to mark papers when it happened and she rushed to the PGI on receiving the news. The reason behind the suicide is not clear, though, in a suicide note that the police found on his body, Nikhil had said that he had “lived enough”. The signed three-line note was addressed to the Station House Officer of the Sector 11 police station. Relatives and friends of Nikhil Syal said he had been rather normal before the incident. He had gone to the gymnasium in the PU for his regular exercise and met his students and friends on the university ground. He also had tea with a sports coach. Puneet, elder son of Nikhil, who works in Mumbai, has been informed and he is expected to reach home tonight. Prof Pushpinder Syal was not available for comments. A post-mortem examination of the body will be performed tomorrow and the body will, then, be handed over to the family for last rites. R.D. Syal, late father of Nikhil, had retired as a Reader in the PU Department of Mathematics. |

Dumping fine to be paid with water bill Chandigarh, November 25 This has come as an agenda item before the November 29 meeting of the corporation. The agenda was placed before the Mayor in the wake of a confusion in the municipal corporation as to how the recovery of the fine will be made despite bylaws permitting slapping of a fine on those who dump debris. An agenda item likely to weaken resistance against rationalising user charges after calculating cost and improving tax collection will also be placed before the House. The Central Government has offered a grant of Rs 1.4 crore to the municipal corporation out of a fund of Rs 500 crore for taking these measures. The fund has also been created for the local bodies to introduce double accounting system to check pilferage of money. The House will discuss "recovery" on former Mayor Gian Chand Gupta for allegedly keeping in abeyance its decision of imposing paid parking, which Mr Gupta rejects saying he had been issued a no objection certificate to clear him of any dues. Mr Gupta has sent a question on why the corporation was not taking any action against parking lot contractors for allegedly violating the terms and conditions of the paid parking. Inquiry report on cholera spread will also be placed before the House. The House will discuss the formation of a Mohalla Sanitation Committee to start a new experiment for the cleanliness of the city. A report on the settlement of the audit objections till March 2001 will also be placed before house. |

Traders start relay fast Chandigarh, November 25 This morning the traders, who now have the support of the local unit of the Congress, started off their relay fast. The first batch included Mr Jagdish Arora, Mr Kamaljit
Singh Panchhi, Mr Radhe Lal and Mr Balwinder Singh. They were joined in by the local MP, Mr Pawan Bansal and the president of the local unit of the Congress, Mr B.B. Bahl. Later in the evening the main shopping area in Sector 17 wore a ‘‘ dark look ’’ as traders switched off all neon signs and show lights displaying the names of their establishments. This fast will continue till the notification is withdrawn. The traders claimed that Mr Bansal had promised support for any kind of demonstration by the traders outside the Parliament. Meanwhile Mr Bansal said that he has asked for a special mention of the rent Act in the Parliament session. Meanwhile, the governing body of Samadhan — a pressure group for social justice — resolved to demand for total repeal of rent Act in Chandigarh to maintain social balance. Protection to the tenants paying less than Rs 1,500 per month was meaningless as they are not the weaker section of society thus the very purpose of protection is defeated. However, if the protection has to be given it should be given to new tenants paying Rs 1,500 or less rent. They, too, should be governed by a fixed statutory increase so that the protection should be for a limited period of time. The members of the governing body of Samadhaan are of the view that the old tenants enjoying protection under the rent Act are rather a privileged class of tenants as by paying a very meagre amount of rent they are able to give a stiff competition to those shopkeepers who are paying the prevailing market rents. As the gap is huge and a recurring expense the process helps in creating wrong conditions in the market. The money is pocketed by individuals without any benefit to the society. Besides incurring heavy losses to the state exchequer by way of income tax, the law as such also amounts to social imbalance and major hindrance to overall development of the country. Samadhaan, feels highly concerned about the misgivings created by a section of commercial tenants and appealed to them to have overall national interest in mind as the step is initiated to give a kick start to the sluggish economy of the country. The step shall surely bring the Indian trade, business and industry out of long drawn recessionary conditions. A fixed statutory increase shall further help in creating harmonious and cordial tenant-landlord relationship thus easing the courts of heavy burden of dispute cases, as the landlords shall feel secure by getting their due in a normal course. |

Landlords form committees Chandigarh, November 25 The association has decided to form such committees in each sector to counter tenant traders’ opposition to the notification. The association’s general secretary, Mr
R.P. Malhotra, today called a meeting of the office-bearers of the newly formed sector-level committees and lashed out at the leadership of the Chandigarh Beopar
Mandal, which is starting a relay hunger strike from tomorrow to demand the withdrawal of the notification. Mr Malhotra sought to assuage feelings of tenants asserting the agitators were creating unfounded apprehensions amongst them. He said the association was keen on watching the interest of safety and security of an owner and an assured return to the investor in the real estate. The office-bearers of the sector-level committees said the Chandigarh Beopar Mandal had divided the city residents between landlords and tenants and were disturbing social cohesion. They asked the mandal whether it had taken its landlord members into confidence before going on strike. |

How one cop will police 550 Panchkula, November 25 All exit points of the district have been sealed and permanent checkpoints have been set up at various places. The floating population is being screened at these points to stop mischievous elements from entering the city. Improvements, are being brought in the electronic-beat-patrolling system. The fact that the township has, a highly porous border goes to the advantage of criminals, who can escape to Chandigarh on one side and Punjab on the other within 10 minutes of committing any crime here. The escape to Uttaranchal (via Kala Amb) or even Himachal Pradesh is an hour’s drive from the township. “Though the strength of the force is too thin in proportion to the increasing population, effective policing has to be done with the available strength,” said the Superintendent of Police, Mr Ranbir Singh Sharma. The police has still managed to bust four flesh-trade rackets, a fake currency racket and gangs of ‘satta’ operators in the past fortnight. The police authorities, in a proposal sent to the Haryana police headquarters, has sought at least 200 policemen to be added to the district force, to meet the growing demands of policing. These personnel will be put on traffic duty and general patrolling. At present, the district police has about 750 personnel and the department, is reportedly, short of about 150 constables from its sanctioned strength. Out of the remaining 600 personnel, only about 450 are available for routine work, if munshis , readers, and office staff are excluded. While about 100 of the 450 policemen available for actual policing are posted at Kalka, Pinjore, Morni, Barwala and Raipur Rani, a meagre squad of 350 is available in the township that has a population of about 1.80 lakh. Chapter II of the Punjab Police Rules applicable to Haryana says that the police-to-population ratio should be 1:450 in towns with population above 30,000. However, the ratio in Panchkula is 1:514, while the ratio for the district is 1:550. The policing here is also being revamped by telling the Station House Officers and heads of police posts to devote at least five hours at police stations each day to redress public grievances. Meanwhile, the police has also sought help from the police modernisation fund to improve its infrastructure. It has sought funds for purchasing a speed gun, breath analyser, overhead projector and a jeep trolley for carrying bodies, besides a colour television and a VCR for training policemen. He has also sought high cross belts, nose mask, hand gloves and night-safety jackets for its traffic wing. |
Panel rejects hike
in sewerage cess Chandigarh, November 25 The committee finally refused hiking the cess in this fiscal year after having linked the hike with grants coming from the Chandigarh Administration on earlier three occasions. It asked officials not to bring the agenda item back to the committee during this fiscal year, sources told Chandigarh Tribune. The STD and PCO operators working from houses being used for residential purposes will now have to pay domestic charges, which are cheaper than commercial rates charged earlier. Discussing as many as 31 agenda items involving an outlay of Rs 2 crore, the committee passed most of the items with the condition that they would be informed as to whether the department had the money for the projects and that the committee would fix priorities of projects in future. Councillors are considering the decision as a major victory for them as the priorities were earlier being fixed by officials. The committee passed a water supply scheme with an outlay of Rs 50 lakh for Mani Majra, Rs 20 lakh for a scheme in the Motor Market of Mani Majra, between Rs 72 and 75 lakh for four tubewells, including those in Hallo Majra, Palsora and Sector 21. A toilet block in Sector 29 D Market and renovation of one in Sector 23 were also cleared. The Chairman of the committee, Mr Kuldeep Singh, succeeded in getting clearance for projects of Pandit Colony, Kuldeep Singh Colony and Nehru Colony. The committee also passed the issue of acquiring a Maruti van for collection of cash while rejecting two Maruti cars and a gypsy for the department. |

UV-ray machines for
octroi posts sought SAS Nagar, November 25 According to the agenda listed by the council, the council is losing a substantial amount of money collected at the octroi posts in the form of fake currency.

Security in banks examined SAS Nagar, November 25 According to Mr Harcharan Singh Bhullar, SP, SAS Nagar, while most of the banks had adequate security arrangements, there were some which had no security arrangements at all. According to the police, a bank was found to be using its security guards for paper work, while in another the bank's security guards did not even know how to handle a rifle. A security guard was standing on duty inside the bank rather than outside, while in some, only a single guard was employed when two are required. The SP has instructed the banks to conduct proper training of the security guards on a regular basis as they have a tendency to get dulled in their alertness while doing the day-to-day security work. The police also instructed the bank officials to keep the rifles of the security guards in working condition.

FAUJI BEAT MORALE of ex-servicemen and their widows also affects the morale of serving soldiers. There is no better example of this than the services being rendered by the Helpline to boost the morale of the retired faujis. You can contact it on telephone numbers 589624 and 867624 round the clock for help in case of any medical emergency, welfare matter, pensionary benefits, etc. After our write up of October 1, on the services rendered by the Helpline, a few more cases have been picked up at random for the information of the ex-servicemen community. A retired Colonel with O-blood group was to undergo a heart surgery at Mukat Hospital in Chandigarh on November 11. Since he was having difficulty in getting the required number of units of blood of this group, he approached the Helpline and the Army arranged blood for him. The CDA (P), Allahabad, had not granted the special family pension to a late Major’s widow after the introduction of the Fifth Pay Commission provisions. When she approached the Helpline in October, it got the pension revised. A Captain on not receiving Rs 50,000 from the Army Officers’ Benevolent Fund on attaining the age of 75, got this amount on November 11. A Subedar Major and Honorary Captain from Sangrur who brought his son for treatment at the Command Hospital did not have the dependent card for his son’s treatment. He was helped to get the treatment done. The widow of a sepoy, who expired at the Command Hospital on November 18 was provided with a funeral van to take the body of her husband to Solan at a concessional rate of Rs 5 per km. Political parties betray
ex-servicemen Political parties have betrayed the ex-servicemen in the past. The Congress to say the least, has been totally cold towards their demands. During Congress rule, the ex-servicemenstaged a dharna at Boat Club in New Delhi, followed by a protest march to then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s residence in May 1984. Then in 1986, they resorted to fastand courted arrest in front of Parliament House. After which, then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi granted them an audience on November 5, 1986, and appointed a “high-level committee” to consider their demands. One of the several recommendations of this committee was the automatic placement of ex-servicemen in civil organisations until the age of 58. But no action was taken on this. On assumption of office as Prime Minister in 1989, Mr V.P. Singh said in his TV address to the nation that his government “stood committed” to the one rank, one pension demand. The then President, Mr R. Venkataraman, had also made a similar commitment in his TV address in December 1989. The Jaffa Committee appointed to look into the matter gave a bureaucratic burial to this demand. Mr George Fernandes said at Anandpur Sahib on April 10, 1999, that one rank, one pension demand had been accepted “in principle and its implementation was a matter of only a few days”. The rest is history.
Delta Force The Delta Force, which was raised to counter insurgency in Doda district of Jammu in 1994, celebrated its ninth raising day recently. The motto of the force is “a bullet for the militant and heart for the innocent”. The responsibility of this force, which is headed by Maj-General Prakash S. Chaudhary, is to combat terrorism in the entire Doda district. This district, comprising rugged mountains and thick forests, spreads over an area of more than 11,600 sq km. Until September 1994, the militants had a firm grip over this district. This force has not only provided security to the people in the district but has also infused confidence among them. Till October last, the Delta Force eliminated 877 hardcore militants and seized 815 lethal weapons apart from a large quantity of ammunition and explosives. The personnel of this force had won 621 awards, including an Ashoka Chakra, three Kirti Chakras and 17 Shaurya Chakras in the past eight years. The Delta Force also help the local population by organising civic action programme under the Operation Sadbhavana.
