Plea to transfer case against Bhajan dismissed
Hisar, July 28 Mr Bhajan Lal is facing charges of attempt to murder, intimidating officials and preventing them from performing their duty during the Fatehabad byelection in May. The government had pleaded that since Mr Bhajan Lal hailed from a nearby (Mandi Adampur) area and was an influential person he could influence the court in Fatehabad. As such the case should be shifted to a court in some other district for an impartial hearing. The Fatehabad court had stayed the arrest of Mr Bhajan Lal till July 29 in connection with an FIR registered against him at the Fatehabad city police station. Consequently, the hearing in the case in the additional district court at Fatehabad will be heard tomorrow. Besides, Mr Bhajan Lal, his personal security guards, NSG commandos, Republican Party of India MLA Karan Singh Dalal (Palwal) too are facing charges of attempt to murder and intimidating government officials. — UNI

Cleanliness
drive issue rocks council meeting Ambala, July 28 The Sub Divisional Magistrate, Mr Narsingh
Dhull, presided over the meeting. This was the first meeting of the House after Mr Suresh Garg took over as the officiating president. A new municipal councillor, Ms Ajay Walia, was administered oath by Mr
Dhull. Ms Walia was declared winner following a court order. Mr Kamal Kishore Jain, a councillor, expressed unhappiness at the failure of the authority to inform suspended president Pandit Shankar Dass about the meeting. He said it was unfortunate that the meeting had to be presided over by the SDM despite there being a democratically elected president. Mr Rajiv Gupta wanted to know the amount of money spent on cleanliness drive. Councillors questioned the use of emergency provision for carrying out the cleanliness drive, which had been done without the permission of the House. “We fail to understand why Section 35 emergency provision had to be used when none of the municipal councillors would have opposed the cleanliness drive,” a councillor said. The leader of the Congress in the council, Mr Hira Lal Yadav, opined that Section 35 was being misused. He said public work had been affected in the past couple of months. “A sum of Rs 3 lakh was to be spent on each ward with the consultation of the councillor concerned but this has not been done,” he added. Ms Neelam Sharma wanted to know the status of the outer colonies. |

Fake ISO certificate! Ambala, July 28 He said he was keen to get ISO certification for his firm as it was the need of the hour. “I approached an Ambala City-based consultant so that I could get the certification. With her help, I fine tuned firm operations to meet the stringent ISO requirements,” he said. “After I was issued the ISO certificate number 2503, I approached the Development Commissioner Small-Scale Industry, New Delhi, so that I could get subsidy. But, my application was turned down,” he added. Thereafter, he forwarded the certificate to the accreditation headquarters in England on June 6. “I was informed by the agency that no such certificate had been issued by it,” he said. He said it was a serious issue. “I have spent nearly Rs 1 lakh for getting my firm an ISO certification. I feel that other firm owners must take note of this development and confirm their certification directly from the issuing authority,” he said. |

Rly users panel meeting held Ambala, July 28 The “generosity” of the pickpocket was highlighted during a Divisional Railway Users Consultative Committee meeting held here today. Divisional Railway Manager
(DRM) Keshav Chandra presided over the meeting. Additional DRM Dayal Dogra and other senior officers were also present. Mr Karam Singh said after his pocket was picked, he tried to get a case registered but to no avail. “Instead, I was told by the person on duty that my important documents would be found. That is exactly what happened when I received the important documents by mail,” he said. Mr Chandra said several steps had been taken to improve the efficiency. “The Chandigarh-Morinda section of the railway line will be completed by March, 2004. The 40 km stretch is being built at a cost of Rs 120 crore,” he said. He said 27 PCOs would be opened. “ATM machines are planned to be set up at Bathinda, Ambala and Shimla. We are also going to start pay toilets at 12 more stations,” he said. Committee member Raj Singh said poor labourers were being harassed by the police. He alleged that labourers were singled out for checking. “I feel that the tickets should also be checked on fast trains like the
Shatabdi,” he said.

Haryana VIPs to travel in Sonata Gold Chandigarh, July 28 The sources said each car would cost Rs 9.25 lakh and carry a warranty of two years. The meeting was chaired by the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala. The choice was between Toyota Corolla and Sonata Gold, but the former failed to get the order as it was unwilling to reduce its price by Rs 40,000 for each car from the market price and had earlier failed to deliver 10 Toyota Qualis as per a government order. Hyundai clinched the deal by offering a discount of Rs 3.5 lakh on the market price. Besides ministers, the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker, the Chief Secretary and the Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister would also travel in the “luxury” car. Earlier, the Chautala government had withdrawn Contessa cars from ministers, who were given Ambassador cars as an economy measure. But Ambassadors were later replaced with Maruti
Balenos.

Tipra residents demand bridge over Sukhna
nadi Kalka, July 28 He said Tipra and its adjoining villages,
Kangoowal, Bitna, Ramser, Bharon-ki-Sair, HMT Colony, Tipra Railway Colony, etc., which have a population of more than 15000, remain cut off from Kalka during rainy season as there was no bridge over the Sukhna
nadi. He said the causeways that were built about four years back had been washed away by heavy current of water. Residents of Tipra and its adjoining areas were dependent on this town for their needs as government offices, banks, post office, railway station, and bus stand etc. are all located at Kalka. “But during rainy season, these areas get cut off from Kalka and it puts the people residing in these villages to a lot of inconvenience,” he said.
