GENERIC DRUG
ROW Sonepat, June 8 Talking to the NCR Tribune today, the co-chairman of the association, Mr Ramesh Khurana, said: “First, we will try to resolve the issue at our meeting with the Drug Controller on June 9. If no amicable solution is found, all 7,000 chemists of the state will close their shops and take to the road in protest against the dictatorial attitude of the authorities.” He alleged that some of the officers had been categorising those medicines that were being manufactured in the state and recognised by the Drug Controller as sub-standard, though these had already been cleared in the sample testing. “It appears that some senior officers are in league with the multinational companies and want to destroy the small scale medicine industry in the state,” he added. The chemists and the state Health Department have been at loggerheads over the fluctuating prices and the standard of medicines being sold in the market. In a letter issued by the Drug Controller, it is pointed out that some of the retail chemists and druggists have allegedly been charging higher rates than the prescribed prices on the medicine packs. Keeping this in mind, the controller has also sought information whether the medicines being supplied by the companies were included in the Price Control Order of 1995 or not. At a meeting in Panipat last Sunday, the Commissioner and Secretary, Mr Raj Kumar, told the chemists that generic medicines were being sold at exorbitant prices to the patients and made it clear to them that such practices would not be tolerated. It is pointed out that medicines sold under brand names and of generic nature are being consumed on a large scale. After the implementation of value added tax (VAT), the prices of branded medicines have reportedly increased considerably. However, the generic medicines are sold on the basis of the formulation and are generally cheaper than the branded medicines. Moreover, the manufacturing units of generic medicines print exorbitant prices, 10 to 20 times higher than the actual cost of production, on the packets and the same is charged from the patients, it is alleged. |

Panipat textile industry cries for amenities, govt looks the other way Panipat, June 8 The recent dose of Central excise duty, poor infrastructure facilities, lop-sided government policies, continuous recession and spiralling crime graph are a few things the industry could do without. The recent spurt in daylight crimes in the area is giving the jitters to the industrial community. And despite the heavy taxes being coughed up by the industry, basic amenities continue to elude it. “The exporters prefer to meet their foreign clients at Delhi hotels as they may lose business if the visitors see Panipat’s unsanitary conditions and bad roads,” rued a top exporter. Referring to the lopsided policies of the government, he said that the developmental charge on the land purchased by industrialists outside the specified area was exorbitant, placing impediments in the expansion of the industry. Notwithstanding the claims to the contrary, the power scenario continues to be dismal. It is said that if you want to set up a unit here, first install a generator set as you never know when the power department leaves you “powerless”. The problem is more acute in the areas fed by the rural feeders. A visit to the Old Industrial Area, the Industrial Area in Sectors 25 and 29, Sanoli Road and Gohana Road can be nightmarish. In several areas, there are no roads worth the name. In the Old Industrial Area, the entrepreneurs constructed a road on their own at a cost of over Rs 2 lakh about a year back. The problems are compounded during the monsoon in the absence of an effective drainage. This, apart from the unsanitary conditions, earns a bad name for the town, which has created a niche for itself in the international market for high-quality textile products. The bureaucracy fails to see reason, says Mr Yash Pal Malik, president of the Panipat Dyers Association. The association is locked in a tug-of-war with the administration over the shifting of over 500 dyeing units to Sector 29 Industrial Area. Considering that the association was ready to install effluent treatment plants and have separate sewer lines for the polluted water, why was the administration adamant on shifting the units, he asked. The handloom capital seems to have escaped the attention of the Central government, rue entrepreneurs. They have mooted a central agency for the development of the city under the NCR plan as they have lost hope in the district administration and the municipal council. |

KNOW-HOW WOES New Delhi, June 8 However, before taking a decision, the government would wait for the arrival of these boxes, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said, when she was asked about the statement by Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad that the Government of NCT of Delhi should reduce sales tax if it did not want the consumers to be burdened. Mrs Dikshit asserted that she was not opposed to modernisation and introduction of latest technology but suspected a “conspiracy” behind the move. “Technology should not be thrust on people. People should not be forced to adopt latest technology,” she said and questioned the July 14 deadline given by the Union Government to introduce the CAS in metropolises. Mrs Dikshit termed the move as “harsh” and advocated its review, as the step had “created apprehensions that consumers’ interests have not been protected”. “Unfortunately, in the name of widening subscribers’ choice, a new financial burden has been put on the hapless subscriber,” she said, adding: “An additional investment along with increase in the cost of pay channels is a harsh measure for an average viewer in this city”. The Union Government has already reduced customs duty on the set-top boxes by around 45 per cent to bring down the prices of the gadgets, which are expected to be in the range of Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000. The Chief Minister had written to Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad last month urging the Union Government to review the decision to enforce CAS. |

TOOTHLESS
BODY? New Delhi, June 8 It is pointed out that the President of DSGMC, Mr Paramjit Singh Sarna, had promised to usher in academic reforms in the committee-run institutions by setting up an autonomous Education Council. However, according to the opposition, the council has failed to perform. In a letter to Mr Sarna, senior DSGMC opposition leader Manjit Singh regretted that the Education Council exercised, “no influence” over the chairpersons of the committee-controlled schools and colleges. “This toothless and non academic Education Council needs a complete overhaul”, he said, adding that several academicians had pointed to him that the standard of the Sikh institutions was now worse than before. Mr. Manjit Singh added: “Corruption is also on the rise and virtually there is no check on the menace.” It was pointed out that in his manifesto Mr Sarna had vowed to weed out corruption in the DSGMC, promising to create an anti-corruption watchdog called the Sikh Judicial Commission. The decision, however, could not be implemented when a former judge, who was tipped to head the proposed anti-corruption watchdog, shot down the draft of the body, saying it violated provisions of the Delhi Gurdwara Act Mr. Manjit Singh pointed out: “We offer all assistance we can give in bringing about academic reforms and checking corruption in the DSGMC”. |

An astroturf in the Capital’s backyard Rohtak, June 8 Prof. Singh said that the Chautala regime was making commendable efforts to popularise sports at all levels. Faridabad has already emerged as a big centre of sports and its sports complex is equipped with all facilities. Gurgaon and Panchkula will soon be on the sporting map, too, with top class stadia, capable of hosting international events. Later, in an informal chat with the NCR Tribune, the minister conceded that a lot of work is yet to be done on the sporting front, especially in the direction of developing adequate infrastructure. A major achievement of the INLD Government in sports has been the revival of traditional games which were ignored earlier. Then, even the state championships were not conducted on time, lamented the minister. However, he claimed, that all tournaments in the state were now being conducted on time. Discussing the financial aspect associated with sports, Prof. Sampat Singh said that they had been pressing private industries in the state to come forward with sponsorships in a big way. He cited the example of China, which has emerged as a big power in the world of sports after getting financial backing from the private sector. Mr. Singh disclosed that he had personally asked the chairman of a nationalised bank to come forward and contribute to the cause of sports in Haryana; he had also taken up the matter with some big industrial houses in the state. Further, the government had taken the initiative to get some games adopted by certain government departments and corporations in the state. |
Official apathy, people’s indifference turning Sonepat into a civic hell-hole Sonepat, June 8 Along with the ongoing water and electricity crisis, the people have been left alone to cope with diseases spreading due to the unhygienic conditions prevailing in different parts of the city. The conditions have always been bad in the walled city. People do not remember the last time when the roads and lanes of the inner city were repaired. The fact is that the safai workers of the Municipal Council are hardly ever seen. The formation of an elected body of councillors in the Municipal Council had generated hope that things might take a turn for the better. But sadly, most of the councillors have been busy with petty politics. Most of the sewerage pipelines have stayed choked for years in this city. The drains are left uncleaned for months and piles of garbage are left on the roads, covering the manholes in the process. The streets at most places have remained water logged in the absence of proper drainage facilities. Those living in the slums are the worst affected. Heaps of garbage, roads full of potholes and the absence of drainage facilities have resulted in the outbreak of malaria and other water-borne diseases. Traffic rules and regulations have been regularly ignored. In the absence of road dividers, some of the main roads have turned out to be “free for all”. Buses, three-wheelers, tempos, rehris and rickshaws can be seen plying on these roads. Encroachments on government and municipal land and unauthorised constructions with the help of unscrupulous elements in the administration have become the order of the day. Another menace is the stray cattle and pigs roaming around in every parts of the city, including in the mini-secretariat and tehsil building. The condition of the roads have been “overlooked” by the PWD (B and R), the Municipal Council, the market committee and the HUDA. And when the roads are repaired, the quality is so poor that it lasts for only a few months at the most. Moreover, the roads are frequently damaged due to the poor planning. Frequent digging of roads for laying of underground cables by different departments also damages the roads. Sonepat has a population of over 1.50 lakh but has only 12 to 13 tubewells for supplying drinking water, which cover only 50 per cent of the population. Streetlights on most of the roads are missing. Stagnant water and slush, which has piled in the vegetable market, has become a big health hazard serving as the nurseries for the mosquitos. The areas earmarked for the development of parks have gradually become dumping grounds for the garbage due to the absence of maintenance. The rapid increase in the number of dairies and transport companies in congested localities has added to the problem. The growth of unauthorised colonies on the periphery of the city is seriously affecting the development of the city. There are about 100 such unauthorised colonies within the civic limits, which are fast growing into slums. |

‘Developed
nations are biggest environment polluters’ Noida, June 8 Environment, Dr Narayan said, was a big issue worldwide. He said the developed nations are the “biggest culprits” so far as pollution and degradation of the environment are concerned. While developed nations like US, UK, Russia, Germany etc are themselves the main culprits, they keep pressurising developing nations to change their policies. Mount Everest has become polluted because of the waste that has accumulated there over the years. Oil tankers of developed nations has on numerous occasions resulted in large-scale destruction of sea life. It is the duty of every Indian to safeguard and protect the environment and forest cover, rivers, lakes, ponds, wildlife, species and to maintain the environmental balance, he said. All rivers, springs and lakes have been polluted by man himself, so that people have been compelled to use mineral water, Dr Narayan said. Rivers like Ganga and Yamuna have been converted into drains where fish can’t survive due to excess of toxic waste that flows into them. |
