Hospital staff ‘appropriates’ phone meant for visitors Faridabad, April 21 The BSNL sources said the official found a nurse ‘chatting’ continuously for over 20 minutes at a stretch. The officer has ordered the shifting of the phone outside the building, so that it could be used by the attendants and visitors to the hospital. Earlier complaints had been lodged with the BSNL that the public phone had been used by doctors and staff as their ‘official phone’ and any attendant who wanted to use the facility was told that it was the hospital’s phone and only the staff was allowed to use it. There was also a complaint that certain staff used to charge the patients or attendants, who wanted to make a call from there. The civil hospital is the largest hospital of its kind in the district, but facilities for patients and their attendants are only on paper. |

Administration opens 14 wheat purchase centres Panipat, April 21 The DC told the farmers that for the purchase of wheat the administration had opened as many as 14 purchase centres in the district for the benefit of the farmers so that they did not have to go to far off places for selling their produce.

Opposition leader opens MCD can of worms New Delhi, April 21 He said that the Congress party was a failure on ‘all fronts’ and number scandals were unearthed in almost every project undertaken by the party. In the first year, the corporation was headed by the Mayor, Mrs Jaishree Panwar and Leader of the House, Mr Ram Babu Sharma. In the second year, Mr Ashok Kumar Jain has been elected the Mayor. While exposing the scandals, he alleged that no new tender was invited for the mid-day meals during the year. He said apples were purchased from people who had no experience in this field and even his name was not registered with the market committee. He alleged that biscuits were purchased from firms on ‘old rates’ whereas there was considerable decrease in the cost of biscuits owing to the decline in prices of sugar and wheat, as well as reduction of rates of excise. The Social Welfare Department of the Delhi Government opened fresh tenders on March 11 in which the lowest rate of the biscuits quoted was Rs 17.50 per kg, whereas the MCD had purchased biscuits at the rate of Rs 31.75 per kg. Likewise, jerseys were also purchased without inviting any tender during the year. The Opposition members had raised the issue of jersey in the Standing Committee meeting. However, the ruling party did not pay attention to it. Embezzlement of crores of rupees in payment of muster roll employees engaged for desilting of nallahas was also alleged. The Slum Department paid Rs 9,000 to a firm to provide computer training to each of its employee. However, it was alleged that the same firm is providing similar training in the market for Rs 4,000. Besides, five employees of the Slum Department were deputed for MBA course in Nepal whereas the standard of educational institutions in India is far better than that of in Nepal. The Opposition member also called the constitution of the Executive Committee of Hardayal Municipal Public Library by the Mayor as ‘illegal’. They alleged that the secretary of the committee was nominated without an election, who had later allegedly appointed his family members and had also indulged in ‘misappropriation of library funds’. |
