L-G tom-toms Delhi Govt’s achievements New Delhi, March 17 This is one of the policies finding a mention in Lieutenant-Governor Vijai Kapoor’s address to the Delhi Legislative Assembly. The Budget session began today. The NCT of Delhi goes to polls later this year. The Lieutenant-Governor spelt out the achievements of the Government of NCT of Delhi. He also dwelt on the new thrust areas of the government but left the details for the Finance Minister to spell out in his Budget speech. The unbundling of the Delhi Vidyut Board into six companies, the management of three of which had been handed over to the private players, and the inauguration of the Metro figured prominently in his speech. During the last one year, he said, the government had taken steps to augment power and water supply, transport and construction of roads. Looking ahead, he said the government would accord priority to the setting up of a Senior Citizens Council and housing for the working and lower middle class besides improving the delivery of public service. The government, he said, in its fifth year would strive to consolidate the achievements and reaffirm its resolve to provide good governance through careful planning and implementation of programmes by tightening delivery of public service. The government said all three units of the Pragati Power Project had been commissioned. Arrangements had been tied up with Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal to augment power supply. The water treatment capacity of the Delhi Jal Board had been augmented from 580 million gallons per day to 650 million gallons per day. The DDA had been requested to provide 2,700 acres more to accommodate the remaining industries. Also, mobile magistrates could be deployed to penalise people for littering. Extensive monitoring of the removal of garbage, rubble and stray animals by local bodies had brought about a substantial improvement in general cleanliness in many parts of the city but, he said, deficiencies still remained and these would be addressed by stationing mobile magistrates to penalise people for littering. The BJP, meanwhile, dubbed the contents of the Lieutenant-Governor’s address as distorted and a misrepresentation of facts. |

FALLOUT Faridabad, March 17 The recent skirmish between the BJP leaders and the local authorities has further soured the relations. Of course, some BJP leaders, such as the MLA from Metwa Maharajpur Assembly constituency, Mr Krishan Pal
Gurjar, are known critics of the Chautala government. But even Mr Gurjar had no inkling of the battering that the party’s image had taken till he visited the housing board colony of Sector-29 on March 15. The reality sank in only when angry residents protested against his visit and some even stoned his vehicle. The BJP leaders from the district have decided not to celebrate Holi this year in protest against the incident on March 15; the party has appealed to the people not to celebrate Holi and protest against the demolition drive. But while, on one hand, the BJP leaders are anxious to corner the Chautala government, the leadership has been unable to take action against one of its MLAs who is reported to be quite close to the chief minister. Moreover, despite the flip-flop, a senior party leader from Haryana confessed, the BJP will continue its support to the INLD government. Sonepat: Mr Kishan Singh
Sangwan, MP and vice-president of the Haryana BJP, today condemned the ‘brutal’ lathi charge on MPs and legislators of the party by the police at Faridabad and demanded immediate sacking of the police officials responsible for the same. Talking to mediapersons here, he described the incident as unfortunate and alleged that the police officials had acted on the specific instructions of the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala. The Chief Minister was hostile towards the BJP leaders who had been openly opposing his style of functioning, his anti-people and anti-farmer policies in the state.

WAYLAID Ghaziabad, March 17 Mr Tripathi, former president of the Intellectual Cell of the Congress Party and an associate of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, told the police that the criminals were young and one of them was wearing a mask. At about 11.20 pm, three persons in a Maruti Zen intercepted his car in an isolated stretch near Sector 9 in Vasundhara. Two of them stepped out of the Zen and overpowered the driver and pulled Mr Tripathi out of the car. Mr Tripathi fell on the roadside and fractured his right arm. The criminals then drove away with the car and the driver. Mr Tripathi immediately informed the police who flashed a message on the wireless, but the criminals had got away. The Indirapuram police have registered a case under Sections 392 and 342 of the IPC. Dr Dharam Vir, the Circle Officer, said that the car was being driven by one Amit, the son of a former Bihar MLA and a friend of Mr Tripathi. The criminals had reportedly fled towards Hapur. They paid the highway toll at the at Dasna post. After crossing Hapur, they diverted the car towards Meerut. At Tejgarhi, they stopped the car at a petrol station. While refuelling, Amit slipped out of the car and contacted the police post at Ghaziabad.
Woman poisons daughter, herself Rewari: A woman, Vinod Kumari, administered poison to her 10-year-old daughter Jyoti and consumed it herself in Hasanpur Mohalla of Bawal town, 14 km from here, on Saturday. Both of them died subsequently. Her son Deepak, who was taken by a relative to Delhi a while before the tragedy, escaped death. It is stated that strained relations between Vinod Kumari and her husband Om Prakash, who is an employee of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bawal, led her to take the extreme step. Om Prakash was away on duty when the incident happened. When he returned home for lunch, he found both his wife and daughter lying unconscious.

OFFENSIVE New Delhi, March 17 “It is unfortunate that some persons in Amritsar and Gurdaspur have converted themselves to Christianity. It is a matter of great concern for us and urgent steps should be taken to stop such incidents,” the DSGMC president, Mr Paramjit Singh Sarna, said here today. “These deplorable incidents clearly indicate how the SGPC has been functioning in Punjab,” Mr Sarna said, adding “the DSGMC has decided to render every help to all Sikh organisations to check such incidents in the future.” The strong reaction from the Tohra loyalist comes within days of Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) president and former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal meeting former SGPC chief Gurcharan Singh Tohra. The meeting of two Akali leaders, twice in the past fortnight, had given rise to hopes of Akali unity in the near future. Apart from making critical remarks about the functioning of the SGPC, Mr Sarna also highlighted the efforts being made by the DSGMC in propagating Sikhism and instilling a sense of pride amongst the youth. In this direction, he said, the DSGMC had formed a screening committee for the forthcoming All India Sikh Sammelan in the Capital. The sammelan would discuss the issues facing the community and increasing alienation of youth from Sikhism. The sammelan, which would be attended by members of the intelligentsia, social workers and opinion makers cutting across party lines, would suggest measures to encourage the members of the community to follow the basic tenets of Sikhism. The screening committee members include Manjit Singh Calcutta, Jaswant Singh Mann, Prof Harmohinder Singh, Dr Jaspal Singh, Dr Jaswant Singh
Neki, Birinder Singh and Makhan Singh. The committee would hold its first meeting March 25, a release said. |

Hooda asks BJP to withdraw support to Chautala govt Rohtak, March 17 He suggested that the BJP should withdraw its support to the ruling Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) in protest against this ‘tyrannical’ act of the government. He said the situation of the BJP had become embarrassing among the masses due to its silence on various issues of public concern. In a statement here today, Mr Hooda alleged the BJP was equally responsible for the decline in different spheres as it never raised its voice against the faulty and autocratic policies adopted by the government. He said the state government had been continuing its atrocities on the people for the last three years but the BJP never opposed any act of the government which, he said, had exposed its incapacity. Speaking sarcastically, he said the BJP leaders realised the malevolence of the government only when they themselves became a target of the atrocities of the Chief Minister. He alleged that the BJP had been loosing its grip among the masses by standing beside the ruling INLD in its every act of oppression and suppression. |

Delhi traffic policemen to check ‘unholy’ high jinks New Delhi, March 17 To prevent the revellers from causing disturbance and indulging in eve-teasing and to ensure an incident-free festival, the traffic police have made elaborate arrangements. Drunken driving and triple riding on two-wheelers is strictly forbidden. DCP (Traffic) Satish Golchha told mediapersons that past experiences had shown that during the festival, people tend to drive their vehicles recklessly. He said the police would check those driving under the influence of liquor, violating speed limits and causing danger to the life of people. To ensure a peaceful Holi, the traffic police would be deployed in full strength on the festival day, he said, adding that there would be special checking at vulnerable locations against dangerous driving, over-speeding, drunken driving, triple riding and driving without a helmet. Mr Golcha added that any violation of traffic regulation would be met with suitable and heavy punitive fines. He sought the cooperation of the people and said that no one should be compelled to play Holi against his or her wishes. According to Mr Golcha, widespread ingestion of ‘bhang’ and alcohol encourages eve-teasing, violence, wanton disregard of traffic rules, hooliganism and clashes and the occasion is used by some groups to settle old scores. The DCP said all groups moving around in vehicles should ensure and arrange for a ‘’designated driver’, at least one person who has not drunk ‘bhang’ or alcohol so that he or she is always available to drive in a sober manner. The Delhi Traffic Police have also set up a traffic helpline – 23378888 or 100 — for any police help regarding road accidents and breach of peace. |

Delhiites
treated to a spectacular early New Delhi, March 17 The open-air concert, held amid the Nehru Park greens, had nature and music lovers enjoying the sound of music. The concert titled, ‘Aman ki Holi’, began with the Raag Bhairav followed by Tarana, Raag Lalit and finally, excerpts from the epic Ramcharitramanas. The concert was part of the NDMC’s campaign to promote art and culture to perpetuate the traditions of the city. The campaign, titled the ‘Morning Raga’ series, had showcased similar concerts in the past with stalwarts like Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Pandit Jasraj and Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia performing before a mesmerised audience. Though the programme had been sadly discontinued, the NDMC is hoping to restart it on a regular basis. The Council has been constantly entreated to restart the programme, with the objective of upgrading urban life, which is increasingly being drawn away from the cultural ethos the country is so proud of. It was also seen as a move to bridge the gap that has crept between art and culture and the masses at large and at the same time, provide some moments of
tranquillity in the otherwise stressful and strenuous life in the national Capital. The NDMC is looking at corporate sponsorships to give the programme a new lease of life. Meanwhile, in Sarojini Nagar’s DG Park, Ram Kailash Yadav and his troupe presented Birha, the folk music of Uttar Pradesh. Present on the occasion was MLA and vice-chairperson of NDMC, Mr Ram Bhaj.

Demand
to reassess drought relief Gurgaon, March 17 According to the BJP Member of Parliament from Mahendergarh, Ms Sudha Yadav, the issue was raised in the Lok Sabha and she urged the Centre to reassess the losses to the farmers due to the natural calamity. Moreover, due to inadequate rainfall, most of the farmers could not sow the seeds. The Centre had worked out a package for compensation to the farmers affected by the drought. The assessment to compensate the affected farmers of Haryana was on the basis of damage to the standing crops. However, Ms Yadav said that the farmers who could not sow the seeds on account of the draught also suffered adversely. According to her, she also took up the issue of the introduction of services of DMU trains on the Rewari-Gurgaon-Delhi route. She further said that she had taken up with the Centre the issue of the setting up a Sainik School in Rewari-the epicentre of the Ahirwal belt in Haryana. A large number of recruits to the armed forces are from the Ahirwal belt. She alleged that the state government had given a proposal to the Centre to set up two Sainik schools in the state-one each in Rewari and Jhajjar districts. However, as only one school could be set up in Haryana, the state government is “rooting” for Jhajjar, she
added. |

Dharna
against gang rape of Dalit woman Rohtak, March 17 The dharna was jointly organised by the district units of CPI (M), Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), Khet Majdoor Union and Janwadi Mahila Samiti. It evoked positive response from other organisations including Dalit Chetna Manch, Dalit Adhikar Manch, Dalit Chetna Majdoor Manch and several distinguished citizens. The speakers while addressing the dharna narrated the incidents of social oppression being faced by the women in general and Dalit women in particular. The Kharkara incident was described as the most shameful for society in which the victim was taken away through the streets of the village at gun-point and gang raped. CPI (M) state secretary Inderjit Singh questioned as why the police took no action against the criminals who had earlier made an attempt to sexually attack the same woman despite a complaint having been registered by her husband to the police. Ms Jagmati Sangwan of Janwadi Mahila Samiti criticised the incident and urged the women to come forward against such incidents. Capt Shamsher Singh Malik, president, Haryana unit of LJP, appealed to all the organisations to forge a unity and fight against the ‘collapse’ of law and order situation in the region. Later, a memorandum seeking immediate arrest of the culprits and adequate security to the members of the victim’s family, was submitted to the City Magistrate to be forwarded it to the Governor. |

FACE TO FACE As a student of economics in St Stephens, it might not have crossed his mind that one day he will be occupying the most important chair in the hierarchy of Delhi University, he was enrolled in. For Deepak Nayar, his modest hostel room may have housed his dreams of making it big in his chosen field, but perhaps never foretold that destiny would bring him back to his alma mater, only this time as the man on the top. In his room, which bears a testimony to the time gone by, Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Deepak Nayar is looking at the future of the university that paved way for his grand entry into the academic corridors. Mr Nayar has dreams that span across into the unfathomable. He claims that he is continuously striving to see the dreams turn to reality and wants the institution better known as Delhi University to be nothing short of the best. An economist, Mr Nayar taught at University of Oxford, University of Sussex, Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata, and Jawaharlal Nehru University. Having held the post of President of the Indian Economic Association, Mr Nayar has served as a member of many commissions, committees and boards, both here and abroad. Acknowledging his contribution to the field of economics, the United Nations and other international organisations have invited him as an expert and he has also been a visiting professor at the University of Paris, Sorbonne. Author of books like ‘India’s Exports and Export Policies’, ‘Economic Relations between Socialist Countries and the Third World’, Mr Nayar talks to the NCR Tribune about his dreams and concerns for the university. Being a premier educational institution, Delhi University is not just expansive in geographic terms, but also houses a colossal number of students from across the country. What were the concerns when you took over as Vice-Chancellor? When I was appointed as Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University in May 2000, I was touched by the warmth that was extended to me not just by the University, but also by the media and the society at large. It was touching and gratifying to know that I was chosen for a responsible post and showered with love. It is not an easy job. The university, being a miniature republic of India, is difficult to govern and the expectations are awesome. But, my sole objective has been the pursuit of academic excellence. The university is a premier education body. In fact, while the others have been gradually declining, Delhi University continues to remain on top and do well. My concerns were to concentrate on development and also on evolving what we already have. The curriculum needed to be restructured. There is a need to upgrade the existing academic standards and we have been able to make conscious efforts in the direction. Fair appointments have been made as far as hiring more academic staff goes across departments. As far as our dreams are concerned, we are halfway there. Can you elaborate when you say that we are halfway there? Delhi University should have the best, whether it is Romilla Thapar or Amartya Sen. If we manage 300-400 good appointments, we have secured the future of the university for the next 25 years. It is essential that we give the students the best that we have. Existing courses are therefore being restructured. I have appointed committees to work out the details of how we can include new topics, do away with the obsolete. At present, changes are made just once in five years. What we have also done is that we have identified three experts from outside the university to give their opinion on the new courses and the changes in the syllabi. These opinions will be evaluated and kept in mind during the time of making the changes. Do you agree that revamping and restructuring the courses is long overdue and that the university needs to introduce more vocational courses? The BA pass course has not been changed since 1950, from the time it was introduced. The course, which was based on role models that existed 50 years ago, needs amends. We are talking to principals, teachers as to how to restructure the syllabi for BA Pass, B Com Pass and Honours courses. Well, as far as introducing of new courses concerned, I do not quite agree. The university is a place for attaining liberal education. The university is not simply a place to impart education, but teach you how to become good citizens and it is a place that harnesses the love of learning. There are professional courses and vocational courses. The university is a place for higher education where you can learn subjects like History and Philosophy. Tell us more about the developments in the university. We are not just developing new things, but also preserving what we have. The university has been places of historical importance, we are trying to preserve them and we have raised money to carry out all these activities from outside sources. The government, for instance, has given us grants for restoration of places, like the Gwyer Hall, IP College and the other old buildings like the VC’s office itself. In the last two years, we have built 400 hostel rooms, out of which three fourths have been for girls. Our plans include refurbishing the Arts faculty, which is spilling over, we have already begun work on the plazas for students, an academic complex is underway and then there is a student’s centre, complete with facilities for recreation and entertainment. We want to make the university people friendly. When I joined in the VC’s office did not even have a computer. This is unacceptable. We have mobilised five crores from the IT ministry for connecting the university through optic fiber lines. With just one click, various departments of the university can now connect with each other. Considering the anxiety that has enveloped the teachers’ fraternity after the gruesome murder of Dr M. N. Singh, is there any proposal to beef up security during exams. Are there any changes or additions in the offing vis-à-vis examinations and invigilation rules? Roosevelt said there is nothing to fear, but fear. The incident was sad, but we are not the police. We will have security but we will not bow to unruly elements. If we have more security we will be giving into these lawless forces. The exams will be held as per schedule. The issue of raising the fees has for long been a contentious one. Has the university taken any decision regarding the hike in fees? We do need to restructure the fees. For the last so many years, students have been paying Rs 20 as tuition fees. Students don’t mind paying Rs 10 as parking fees per day or paying Rs 30 for a cup of coffee, but when it comes to paying more fees, they are alarmed. We need the society to engage more with the university. Everybody who can must do their bit for the university. It is everybody’s university.
