‘Cyber’ Delhi moves closer to e-governance New Delhi, March 13 She also inaugurated the Automatic Application Announcement System, which can be accessed via net, telephone and SMS. Akin to the information provided by the Railways and the MTNL, this service will give the status of applications submitted in various government offices. Initially, this system will be implemented in the deputy commissioners’ offices and can be accessed via the Delhi Government portal, by telephone by calling 23392339 or 23392340, where the computer will give the status using interactive Voice Response System, and through cell by sending the 10-digit acknowledgement number to 986823102. The system will send back the status as an SMS. An exhibition of successful e-governance projects was also put up by 23 departments of the government on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Ms Dikshit said that in cyber Delhi there will be not only cyber parks and kiosks, but the citizen will use information technology to his benefit. In the process, the government aims at establishing a transparent, responsive and corruption-free regime. She was happy at the pace of the IT revolution in various government departments in spite of teething problems and expected that the goal of computerisation and e-governance will be achieved by the end of the year. Reiterating the government’s goal through its IT policy enunciated in August 2000, Mrs Dikshit outlined the targets as electronic governance, equality, education, employment, entrepreneurship and economy. She gave a call to work towards bridging the electronic divide and exhorted officers to work for implementing a system, where even the most marginalised sections of society could avail themselves of the benefits of information technology. Stressing the need to computerise all government schools, Ms Dikshit emphasized that projects should aim at benefiting children and women. She suggested that a system of rewarding and acknowledging officers and departments for their efficiency in implementing the IT policy should be evolved. The Chief Minister took the opportunity to inform that the government had been slowly and silently achieving quite a few milestones in the field of IT-driven governance. It was only now after its benefits had actually started showing that they were being spoken of. In this regard, she informed that Delhi started issuing computerised plastic driving licences way back in 1999 much before Mr Bill Clinton was issued such a licence in Hyderabad. Similarly, Delhi’s Sales Tax Department is the first in the country to be fully wired, connecting offices right from the ward to the commissioner level. The MCD was perhaps the first municipal body in the country to implement its website project and the Delhi Government’s Tender Information System is the first and only such web-based system, where tender notice details are uploaded directly by more than 250 tender issuing authorities, she informed. Mr S.Regunathan, Pr Secretary (Information Technology),on his part gave a status/achievement report of the IT Department. Terming the publicity efforts in the past as hesitant, Mr Regunathan said that now he had sufficient reasons to be confident that the city will be e-enabled by the end of 2003. |

FOLLOW-UP Meerut,
March 13 The STF has obtained this lead from two Jaish militants, Ezaz and Mehraz, who were arrested in Muzaffarnagar on Monday. Gazi Baba is suspected to be the mastermind behind the terror attack that the two militants were planning to unleash in the national Capital in tandem Manzur, another militant who was slain in Noida on Wednesday. The STF officials have also learnt that explosives and ammunition intended for the Jaish operation had already been transported to the area. On a tip-off, the STF and the local police had raided a premises in Hapur and in Simbhaoli in Ghaziabad, but drew a blank. Later, the police learnt that the explosives had been shifted. The STF and Muzaffarnagar police sleuths, who are scouring the area for the explosives, have informed SSP Bhajni Ram Mina that more than a dozen Kashmiri students in the area have been taken into custody for interrogation. It is learnt that the local police had been tapping the mobile phones of Ezaz and Mehraz for several days prior to their arrest. The phone transcripts had revealed that Manzur and Gazi Baba were hiding somewhere in western UP. It seems that Manzur was not aware of the arrest of his accomplices in Muzaffarnagar; otherwise, he would not have kept his appointment at Noida bus stand, where he was gunned down by the cops. Suicide bid by cop posted
at embassy New Delhi: A security person of the Special Nagaland Armed Police (SNAP), posted at the Embassy of Turkey, attempted to commit suicide this afternoon by firing from his weapon. The victim, Rosen, who sustained a bullet injury on his chin, was immediately rushed to the surgical ward of Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital where he was operated upon and reported to be in a critical condition. The reason behind his taking this extreme step is yet to be ascertained and statements of his fellow personnel have been recorded by the police. The news created considerable panic among the security personnel in the embassy area. The police said that Rosen was supposed to have joined duty at around 1pm but didn’t turn up. According to the police, Rosen tried to commit suicide around 12.40 pm in the camp behind the main embassy, where he was reportedly staying.

Demolition
drive runs into roadblocks Faridabad, March 13 The authorities may claim success in removing hundreds of encroachments in both urban and rural areas in the past few months but it appears that the drive so far has lacked consistency and follow-up action. Moreover, the charges of discrimination and taking action on selective basis have also put the official claims in the dock. The district administration had announced a few weeks ago that all housing board colonies in the town had large-scale encroachments and the drive would primarily focus on such areas. While several residents demolished the encroachments themselves the pace has not been up to the target. Many encroachments could be still noticed in several colonies. In the market of Sector 7 and 10, which is itself an illegal commercial place, several shopkeepers who had removed the encroachments earlier have now started putting up temporary structures of cloth or sheds on the front and sides. Kiosks and stalls rented out by these shopkeepers could be seen in the area meant for parking. A resident of Sector 10 said if there was no follow-up visit by the authorities the shopkeepers may soon occupy the space vacated by them recently. It is learnt that residents of various sectors who had faced action for illegal occupation of the green belt last year have now started putting up private fences and seem to be thinking of converting the open space into their own little private gardens. Owner of kothis have converted the green belt of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) into private gardens in Sectors 14, 15, and 17, which are posh areas of the town. While some residents have developed gardens others have been running taxi operator service, selling cement and building material or even keeping shops. The HUDA authorities had removed a large number of encroachments related to boundary wall extension and grills erected around the green belt a couple of years ago but many of the encroachments removed at that time have surfaced again. It is alleged that encroachments done by influential persons, including officials and their kin, have not been touched. Encroachments done by a businessman in Sector 16-A have been a raging issue but due to his close connections with the powers that be the officials do not dare to issue a notice even. Observers feel that the drive may go on for a year or two if carried out in an honest and unbiased manner. It is claimed there is hardly any colony or market where encroachments are not the norm. The Sector 15 market, touted as Connaught Place of Faridabad, is also notorious for encroachments. While the verandah and open spaces in front of the shops have been occupied and the customers have a tough time negotiating their way almost all basements constructed here are reported to be illegal as per the HUDA norms. The then Administrator, Mr Vijayendra Kumar, had taken up the matter and even decided to take action but the basements could not be closed. |

Gurgaon
civic body does not care two hoots about citizen’s right to life with dignity Gurgaon, March 13 It remains unconcerned even when the residents’ fundamental right to life with dignity (as provided in Article 21 of the Constitution and reinforced by various judgements of the Supreme Court) gets seriously breached. The residents of Dron Vihar in the Old Gurgaon city have no proper roads in the colony. About half a dozen roads and streets in the colony are dotted with big potholes. At some places, massive digging up was done by the Public Health Department to lay a network of pipes for distributing water to Dron Vihar and the adjoining colonies. What has vexed the residents of Dron Vihar is the ‘lack of accountability’ on the part of departments of the state government, including the Municipal Counci, which falls in the category of “state” as per the
definition provided by Article 12 of the Constitution. The Public Health Department, a few months ago, set up a water storage tank in the park of Dron Vihar for nearby colonies. The department dug up the roads for laying the water distribution network. The president of the Dron Vihar Sudahar Samiti, Mr T.C.Jain, regretted that though the government solved the water tangle, it bequeathed the residents with pot-holed roads. The Public Health Department takes no responsibility for their repair. The Municipal Council, when approached first time in October last year, to repair the damages done by the Public Health Department, gave up on the plea of lack of funds. Mr Jain said that the Dron Vihar Sudhar Samiti took up the matter with the Sanyukt Kalyan Parishad, an apex body of a cluster of Residents Welfare Associations. But the problem persists. Inquiries reveal that when a department does damages like digging up roads for the developmental projects, it seeks permission and recompenses the authorities concerned, in this case the Municipal Council, for restoration and repair works. Hence, there are many who allege that the Council’s plea of lack of funds is dereliction of duty to keep up the living standards of the people. Besides, the residents now pay revised house tax, apart from the existing imposts under several heads. There is another development which is troubling the residents. Each time the Municipal Council repairs the roads, it increases the layer of the structure of the roads. This increases the height. As the houses in Dron Vihar were constructed more than two decades back, in many cases, their plinths have fallen below the height of the roads. Consequently, during the rains, water accumulating at the sides of the roads enters the houses. With no drainage system in the colony, the residents keep their fingers crossed and just dream of leading a life with dignity. |

Regularisation
of colonies should be New Delhi, March 13 “This policy is required to be examined and it has to be left to the wisdom of the Legislature to be decided,” a Bench comprising Chief Justice C. B. Patel and Mr Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed observed while hearing a petition on illegal constructions in the controversial Sainik Farms, where influential people have built palatial houses. The court sought details from the Centre and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) about the exact number of original allottees of land in a society for ex-servicemen in Sainik Farms and the total area of land given to them. The court also directed government counsel Geeta Luthra to submit details of circumstances under which the society for ex-servicemen was formed and the number of houses existing in Sainik Farms at present. The Centre’s counsel was directed to furnish the details about these aspects before March 27 during the hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) alleging that nexus between MCD officials, the police and the builder mafia was responsible for the construction of about 5,000 houses illegally in the locality. The Centre, in an affidavit, while categorising different unauthorised colonies for regularisation, had said Sainik Farms was not being considered for such relief as the houses there were built in violation of “land use plan” on agricultural land and a reserved green belt.
Assurance to BJP team A delegation of the BJP was assured by the Central Government on Wednesday that it plans to regularise unauthorised colonies in Delhi which had come up till March-end last year and amend the Master Plan. Delhi BJP president Madan Lal Khurana said that the Union Urban Development Minister, Ananth Kumar, had told a delegation of Delhi BJP MPs yesterday that commercial and industrial units would be converted from leasehold to free-hold and about four lakh shops of less than 50 metres in residential areas would be regularised as per recommendations of the Malhotra committee. Khurana said that the delegation also demanded a reduction in stamp duty required for registration of property from the current 13 per cent to eight per cent, contending that the prevailing rate was the highest in the country. He said Kumar’s assurances followed meetings he has had
with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Deputy Prime Minister L. K. Advani and BJP national president M. Venkaiah Naidu
last week. |

Woman pleads with PM to save her Noida, March 13 Ms Reeta Tyagi said she is the owner of the land under Khasra No 58 along with Malkhan Singh, who had filed a civil suit against one Meena Devi, resident of Gangawali in Bulandshahr district. She has inherited the right to Malkhan Singh’s property as his inheritor after his death. She is in possession of the said property, she said. The court, in its decision announced on May 15, 2002, had ordered a stay on the disputed property. Ms Reeta Tyagi alleged that two persons along with Dr Sanjeev Garg had met village pradhan Ram Kishan Sharma and discussed the purchase of this disputed land from Ms Meena Devi. They also said that they wanted to start construction on that land with the co-operation of the tehsil staff. They had reportedly written a letter on February 3 this year to the Tehsildar, Dadri, and the SO of Phase-II police station with which a copy of the court order about the status quo has also been attached. In spite of this, Tehsildar Hira Lal and Naib Tehsildar Narinder Pal Sharma had gone with a strong police posse to take possession of the disputed land on February 22, she said. The Revenue Minister’s son had also come along with them in a government car, it is learnt. When the court order was shown to the Tehsildar, he reportedly said that the “court order has no value as the mantriji (minister) is our boss,” Ms Reeta Tyagi said. “Since the mantriji’s own people have purchased this land, nobody on earth can now stop them from taking possession,” the Tehsildar reportedly told her. The party had, however, to beat a retreat as villagers who had collected there opposed their move. But again, they descended on the scene accompanied by 25-30 musclemen apart from a police force. The musclemen allegedly threatened the villagers and made sure that the construction work started. Ms Reeta Tyagi said she had kept the District Magistrate informed about the situation and it was on his intervention that the construction was finally stopped. She said that since the state Revenue Minister himself was involved in the whole episode, she had informed Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, Deputy PM L. K. Advani, BJP president Venkaiah Naidu and state Chief Minister Mayawati through fax. She has also pleaded to the district officials to provide protection to her life and property. Apart from village pradhan Ravi Kishan Sharma, Ram Niwas Tyagi, Brij Mohan Tyagi, Amit Tyagi, Memraj Tyagi and others were also present when she spoke to the media. |

white paper on sacked workers: HPCC Sonepat, March 13 In a signed press statement issued here, he pooh-poohed the claims of the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, that his government has provided jobs to 20,000 youths in the state during the past three years. He described the claims as false and said it had already retrenched thousands of employees from their jobs. He accused Mr Chautala of misleading the people on the issue as it had already removed 25,000 employees from their jobs and at least 30,000 posts had been abolished. He alleged that the government employees were being terrorised and a reign of terror had been let loose on them by giving threats to them on some pretext or the other. Mr Hooda termed the March 2 Vikas Rally as a ‘Vinash Rally’ and alleged that the Chief Minister’s announcement regarding the carrying out of 33,000 development works during his regime was a hoax and Mr Chautala was trying to remain in power by giving false promises. Expressing concern over the inefficient and unsatisfactory working of the Bhagwat Dayal Sharma PGI Medical College, he alleged that there had been an acute shortage of life-saving drugs in it and even the cotton and bandages were not available for the emergency patients. He alleged that the director-cum-principal of the college remain on furlough and he had not inspected the college hospital for months. As a result, poor patients are not being treated properly. If the state government failed to improve its working, the PGI hospital will turn into a death trap. |

Cylinder
blast calls in question admn’s role Noida, March 13 The administrative machinery does not seem to have any control over gas cylinder business being carried on in congested markets and residential areas. A look at similar accidents in the past year proves that the administration never learns from them. As many as 17 persons have lost their lives in about a dozen such accidents in the past. After the recent explosion, people are asking who is ultimately responsible for such accidents? Be it Noida or small towns or villages, such dangerous explosive materials are being sold in every market. Nobody seems to be concerned about it, not to say of stopping it. Thus, those whose job it is to check the sale of such commodities are least bothered about the flagrant violation of the law and rules. In one incident, five persons, including three women, were buried in a cracker factory. In a fire in Sector 44 slum cluster, caused by a cylinder explosion, nine persons lost their lives. Most of the victims of such accidents are labourers and workers. Sectors 8, 9 and 10 are so congested and thickly populated that in the event of such a tragedy, the administration would not know the exact number of casualties. After every such accident, people keep wondering who is responsible for the frequent blasts. After a while, everyone forgets. And the administration knows it well. The March 11 incident will not be the last one either. |

SPECIAL
FOCUS ON ROHTAK Rohtak, March 13 This was revealed by a recent report of a team of scientists of the Department of Animal Nutrition, Chaudhary Charan Singh Agriculture University, Hisar. The team visited Kahanaur village in the district on December 18 and randomly collected samples of blood and hair of Murrah buffaloes suffering from various reproductive problems including repeated breeding, silent heat, etc. Dr Rajender Singh, Senior District Extension Specialist (Animal Sciences) at Krishi Vigyan Kendra here, who had accompanied the team of scientists to Kahanaur village for collecting samples, said these ailments ultimately led to long calving intervals in the animals. He said the team had collected samples of blood and hair from 10 buffaloes which were analysed at the Animal Nutrition Laboratory of CCS
HAU, Hisar and it was found that all the animals had been suffering from acute deficiency of minerals. He said the deficiency of calcium, phosphorus, cobalt, magnesium and zinc was registered in the animals at the rate of 60,50,80,50 and 90 per cent respectively. Commenting on the causes for this deficiency of minerals in the animals, Dr Rajender Singh said the soil used to be rich earlier in these essential nutrients which would transfer from soil to plants (fodder), plants to animals and then from animals to soil through their dung. Dr Singh said this recycling of nutrients had been disturbed now as the farmers had been cultivating two to three crops a year which made the soil deficit of these nutrients. He said the report highlighting the deficiency of these minerals was applicable not only to the animals of the district but also to those in the neighbouring region. He said the problem was severe in Rohtak, Hisar, Bhiwani and Jind districts where a majority of the best breed of buffaloes was suffering from these ailments. Dr Rajender Singh said that he had informed the cattle owners about the causes for ailments affecting the health of animals at Kahnaur village today. He suggested the cattle owners to feed mineral supplements for the recovery of this depletion and asked them to feed the green fodder like berseem, lucerne, cowpea and green leaves of trees, legumes and cereal grain like maize, wheat and byproducts like wheat braw, rice braw, cotton seed and oil cakes etc. He suggested the farmers to feed 50 to 100 grams of mineral mixture daily to dry and lactating buffaloes and 40 to 60 grams to heifers and young buffaloes respectively. He offered the farmers to contact him at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Rohtak for any query regarding their animals. He appealed to the government to take immediate measures to protect the best breed of buffaloes. |

New Delhi, March 13
