With a cook for sentry, jail inmates escape at will Sonepat, August 10 Three decades ago, the Old DC Courts were converted into the Bal Sudhar Grah with the aim of lodging undertrials and convicts below the age of 16 years. This complex had a capacity to house 50 inmates and was placed under the control of the Social Welfare Department. Like other jails in the state, the Bostel jail is also getting overcrowded. On an average, 125 to 175 inmates are lodged here. There has hardly been any extension of the jail premises. Moreover, it still has the original staff — one superintendent, three wardens, one assistant and a cook. As against this, the number of inmates has increased by almost three times. According to the staff, even the assistant and the cook are put on security duty. Significantly, a number of inmates have crossed 16 years of age. According to rules, they must be shifted to the district jails. However, in the records, they are shown as under 16, so that the courts take a lenient view during conviction and they can escape the rigorous life of the district jails, it is learnt. It may be recalled that on August 24, 2002, a group of jail inmates attacked the cook and the guard, injuring them seriously, and five of them escaped. Two of them were nabbed within 48 hours but the other three are still untraceable. Similarly, five inmates escaped on the night of July 20, 2000; one inmate escaped on July 28, 2000, when he was being taken to the court for a hearing in the case against him; and about a dozen inmates escaped on April 17, 1999, after beating up the security guard. Also, six inmates found their way out by deceiving the duty staff on December 11, 1998; one inmate escaped on August 18, 1998, after throwing chilly powder in the eyes of the warden; and two inmates escaped on June 3, 1998, while being taken to the court; and one managed to escape after bluffing the staff on duty. Despite more than a dozen such incidents, the authorities have failed to beef up the security arrangements in the jail. Justice S. S. Nijjar of the Punjab and Haryana High Court had also pointed out some lapses during his visit here two months back, but no effort has been made to remove the lacunae. According to information, most of the inmates are either charged with or convicted of involvement in heinous crimes like murder, dacoity, loot, attempt to murder and rape. More than 50 per cent of the inmates are being tried in different courts in the state. |

One look at your nails and he can tell your New Delhi, August 10 He is not a qualified doctor, not a registered medical practitioner either but has spent years reading about Vedic treatment of diseases. He is using this knowledge to help the people. His fame in diagnosing ailments accurately has travelled far and wide. People throng his house at all hours hoping to get some relief. Others make a beeline to his furniture shop on Panchkuian Road. Seeing the rush, he has now set aside Tuesdays and Saturdays to tend to these needy patients. He charges nothing for his service. In some cases, he even provides money and medicine to the patient. Last year, he started a charitable society, Nar Sewa Narayan Sewa (Serving humanity is serving God). Under the aegis of this society, he holds free check-up camps in different parts of the city from time to time. How it all began? “About five year back, a regular customer of mine came to my outlet from Rohtak to purchase some latest furniture. After several regular visits, we became very friendly. In the course of talk, I revealed that he was suffering from liver cancer. He was astonished by my correct diagnosis,” Sunil Kumar Garg says. “I made that prediction after seeing his teeth and nails. It was my first experiment after a comprehensive study of Upanishads, Vedas and many ancient books on the subject of medicine. I also studied Naturopathy at different levels. In our ancient books of medicine, it is mentioned that diagnosis of ailments can be done even through seeing the forehead.” Married with four children, Mr Garg is toying with the idea of starting a charitable dispensary in his area to help the people. Those who have been diagnosed by him look up to him with awe. In some cases, he had diagnosed diseases, which even the regular doctors were unable to do. His clients believe that he is possessed with divine powers. A God-fearing man, Mr Garg himself believes that the Lord has chosen him to take on charity rather than business. His family has often accused him of ignoring his own business while devoting time to charity. A Vedic scholar as he is, he laughs it away. |

HealthyU! Ghaziabad, August 10 Earlier, a similar condition prevailed in Dundakhere slum clusters. However, the administration has not responded to the situation. Due to knee-deep water in the area, people find it difficult to move out of their houses. Sewerage water has mixed with rainwater in the low-lying areas, which have become a breeding ground for diseases. Already conjunctivitis is doing the rounds in district, In a special camp organised by the Health Department in Kela Bhatta, more than 50 per cent of the 113 patients were found to be suffering from conjunctivitis. Another 22 patients were suffering from malaria-like fever, 14 from loose motion and nine from skin problems. Similarly in Arthala, 54 of the 106 patients at the camp had eye flu, 15 had loose motion and vomiting, 26 had fever and 11 had cough. It has been observed that a majority of eye flu patients do not go to ophthalmologists, but use all sorts of eye drops on the advise of the local chemists. Eye specialists say that using eye drops without the advice of bona fide ophthalmologists can be dangerous as it can lead to eye ailments like cataract. Those suffering from conjunctivitis are advised to maintain cleanliness and keep indoors as exposure to the sun and sultry weather can make it worse and spread it to others. The patient should wash his hands with soap and wash his eyes with clean water a number of times. Medicines should only be used on the advice of an eye specialist, advise the doctors. Though eye flu has affected people in all colonies of the city, the health department has not so far issued any guidelines or instructions on the subject. |

Can Beijing Olympics put the biz back in Faridabad? Faridabad, August 10 Stating this, the general secretary of the
FSIA, Mr Rajiv Chawla, said here today that the association has launched an awareness campaign to involve small entrepreneurs in this exercise in a big way. The FSIA held its executive committee meeting last evening to discuss the matter in detail. According to Mr Chawla, Beijing Olympics is still five years away, but for certain sections of the Indian industry, it is the showtime already. From steel to metals, from software to construction, Indian firms are bracing up for the promised ‘gold rush’, he said. At stake are contracts worth billions of dollars as China goes on construction overdrive to be ready for the “grand show” in 2008. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is planning to host a convention in China in October, where the agenda is to help strike a chord between the Indian industrialists and their Chinese counterparts. The CII is setting up an office in Beijing, as the total exports from India to China have gone up by 104 per cent to $ 1.68 billion between January and May this year as compared to the same period last year. Experts believe that the four main thrust areas are environment (parks, landscaping etc), transportation, construction (sports and related facilities) and software. Here, Indian companies could cash in on their inherent low-cost advantage and technical expertise. To help the industries in India avail of these opportunities, the CII, Mr Chawla said, is organising a ‘Made In India’ show from October 16 to October 19 at Beijing. Mr Piyush Bahl, Senior Director and head of CII’s East Asia representative office, also took part in the FSIA’s meeting here yesterday. According to Mr Bahl, the Indian firms should not be afraid of Chinese products thronging the market but strive to meet the challenge through excellence in production and bringing down the manufacturing cost. The participants at the meeting were asked to upgrade themselves and exploit every opportunity to showcase their products in the national and international market. |

Disappointed…No pin-up girls in DUSU poll this time New Delhi, August 10 “Our campaign this year is going to be issue-based. We will refrain from making it a carnival,” said the spokesperson for the NSUI, Kuntal Krishna. Unlike last year, when the election became a virtual ‘‘beauty pageant,’’ the party this year promises to pay more attention to the candidates’ “academic achievements and work record”. “The candidate for the president’s post will have to be acceptable, academically bright, with absolutely no criminal record and should have done a fair amount of party work,” asserts Krishna. The opposition ABVP, too, is “still working on the manifesto and the candidates”. Party spokesperson, Jatin Mohanty, said: “We will choose a candidate with matching credentials. We will also harp on our achievements to win votes.” Deepti Rawat, the outgoing general secretary of the DUSU, adds, “We had promised a safe campus and we have been able to deliver that. There are so many promises that we have kept and our good work will not go unnoticed.” Ask them what are the chances of having women slugging it out for the top post, there is a diplomatic retort: “We are not averse to backing a woman for the president’s post, but if we get a man who is more promising then the choice will be obvious,” said Krishna. |

Banner of revolt against MC chief Sonepat, August 10 A councillor, Jagdish Khatri, alleged that the government guidelines and directions were not being followed by the Chairman in conducting the council’s affairs. He alleged that the Chairman was required to hold the council meeting on the last Friday of every month; but no meeting had been convened in the last four months. This was despite submitting a written request to convene the monthly meeting. The Chairman chose not to respond, he said. He also alleged large-scale irregularities and bungling in the recruitment of safai karamcharis and the purchase of diesel and electricity equipment. Though complaints in this regard had already been lodged with the department authorities at Chandigarh, no action had been taken so far, he added. It was also alleged in the meeting that the Chairman was neglecting the development works in the areas of those councillors who were criticising his style of functioning. Mr Khatri said that all councillors assembled at the meeting were with the government and they would urge the Chief Minister to take action in this regard, according to a press note. |

Irked by power cuts, villagers resort to gherao Sonepat, August 10 According to a report, the irate residents reached the powerhouse and raised anti government and anti-UHBVN slogans before resorting to a gherao. A junior engineer made a series of attempts to pacify the irate mob but failed. Thereupon, the Executive Engineer and the SDO were summoned. They assured the angry residents that steps would be taken to ensure regular power supply to their villages and no power cut would be enforced at night. Thereupon, the residents returned to their villages. According to another report, traffic was held up for about three hours on the Gohana-Panipat National Highway 71-A near Chidana village, about 50 km from here, yesterday for a similar reason. The situation turned violent when the police beat up a boy. The angry residents started pelting stones on the police but no one was hurt. Residents of Shamri and Dhurana villages also joined the protest and held up traffic. A large number of vehicles, including trucks, cars and buses, were lined up on both sides of the road. This led to inconvenience to the travelling public. Residents from Nahra, Nahri, Majra and Chhetehra villages are also unhappy due to the erratic power supply since the past few months. On receipt of information, the SDM, Mr Suraj Bhan Jangra, along with the tehsildar as well as officials of the UHBVN arrived on the spot. The SDM assured the angry residents that their villages would get regular power supply from the Mundlana feeder but they refused to disperse. Thereupon, the SDM offered an apology before the irate mob, comprising mainly women, for the alleged beating up of a boy by the police. The residents then lifted the blockade and dispersed peacefully. |

NGOs vent ire against water ‘commodification’ New Delhi, August 10 The Sonia
Vihar Water Treatment Plant is touted to be the second largest water
treatment plant in the country. A pet project of the Government of the
NCT of Delhi, the plant is expected to become operational by the
year-end. Environmentalist Vandana Shiva on Saturday told
mediapersons they were protesting against the conversion of the
“common heritage into a corporate commodity” by diverting 635
million litres per day (MLD) of the Ganga waters to the NCT of Delhi.
Right from the catchment area of the “ecological and spiritual
lifeline of India” down to Varanasi, people along the banks of the
Ganga were already being adversely affected due to the Suez-Degrement
water treatment plant in Sonia Vihar, NCT of Delhi, she said. Apart
from her NGO Navdanya, which is coordinating the campaign, the “Jal
Swaraj Abhiyan” is backed by Magsaysay awardee Sundarlal
Bahuguna’s Ganga Bachao Abhiyan, the Rashtriya Jal Biradiri of
Rajendra Singh, Tehri Visthapit Mahila Morcha of those displaced by
the Tehri dam, Dehat Morcha of western Uttar Pradesh farmers, Bharat
Jagriti Nyas of Hardwar and farmers all the way from
Varanasi. Besides, resident welfare associations of the NCT of Delhi
have also joined the campaign, saying that the city was capable of
meeting its water needs without the Tehri Dam height being
raised. Work on India’s second largest water treatment plant was
started on June 21 last year and expected to be commissioned by the
year-end. The MNC joint venture, Suez-Degrement, is said to be the
biggest water giant in the world. It is currently laying a 3.2 metre
diameter pipeline to divert the water from Muradnagar in Ghaziabad
district to Sonia Vihar. Ms Shiva said the treatment plant should be
used for recycling the Yamuna waters. Instead, the “colonial
corporatisation” was affecting the livelihood of millions along the
river. She added that with the privatisation, Suez would hike water
tariffs in the NCT of Delhi tenfold and “hijack the public
investment in dams and canals to justify full cost recovery of the Rs
200 crore invested by Suez-Degrement.” However, this sum was
nothing compared to the “estimated Rs two lakh crore” which would
be spent on the Tehri Dam along with the cost on agriculture in terms
of droughts, crop failure and the like. Elaborating on the damage to
the river, she said that despite a bumper monsoon this year the level
of the Ganga at Varanasi had come down drastically. |

SPECIAL FOCUS ON SONEPAT Sonepat, August 10 According to a report, officials of the Chief Minister’s flying squad accompanied by the police conducted surprise raids here and at Ganaur and Kharkhauda towns yesterday. They checked the records of certain flour mills about whom complaints had been received regarding the sale of wheat flour on the black market. The officials of the CM’s flying squad are also reported to have informed the Deputy Commissioner, Mr Balwan Singh, about the public complaints received by the state government in this regard. The DC, in turn, directed the officials of the Food and Supplies Department to accompany them for conducting surprise raids. The action of the state government has created panic among the owners of fair price shops and unscrupulous officials of the Food and Supplies Department. Meanwhile, the officials of the Food and Supplies Department have taken a series of steps to streamline the public distribution system (PDS) in the district. Mr Balwan Singh told mediapersons here today that the officials of the department had checked 62 ration shops and detected irregularities in 49 shops. The department, he said, also issued show-cause notices, asking them to explain why their licences should not be cancelled. He disclosed the department had suspended the supply of 11 shops and cancelled the licences of four other shops on charge of serious irregularities. Similarly, security deposits totalling Rs 7,750 were also confiscated on a similar charge. According to the DC, the officials of the department also checked five brick kilns and 13 petrol pumps during the last month. He warned that stern action would be taken against the owners of the fair price shops if they indulged in malpractices and irregularities in the distribution of rationed commodities. The memorandum alleged that the offices of the District Food and Supplies Controller and AFSOs had become dens of corruption. Certain inspectors had occupied lucrative posts which had virtually become non-transferable. These inspectors, it is alleged, had developed links with some politicians and they did not bother about public complaints. They had been minting money from the depot holders at the time of releasing the rationed commodities for distribution among the ration card holders. |

He demanded that the party should convene a national convention to find the ways and means to defend the right of working people in the country.
