DMRC also leaves a trail of dead aspirations New Delhi, September 3 Their houses and shops have been razed recently to make way for the Barakhamba Road–Dwarka line. They are not happy with the rehabilitation package either. Their complaint? The plots they have been offered in Bindapur near Dwarka and the financial assistance do not measure up to the promises made by the DMRC chairman, Mr Madan Lal Khurana. The political parties are promising housing for the economically challenged to gain votes for the Assembly elections later this year but none has taken up cudgels on our behalf, said the residents. The Pusa Road residents are not alone. Even the Association of Manufacturers, Tilak Nagar, had distributed pamphlets to highlight the problems of businessmen. The association had contended that Metro means ‘underground rail’ the world over and it should have been constructed underground leaving enough scope for the future planning of Delhi. The Shopkeepers and Residents Welfare Association of Karol Bagh was also up in arms over the ‘eviction’ notices issued by the Land Acquisition Collector. Significantly, only 1.2 km of the 22.8-km-long line is underground. Of the 22 stations in this stretch, only two–at Connaught Place and Barakhamba Road – are underground. Two surveys were carried out. The first survey, carried out by a French firm, was only the project report and had suggested that part of the Barakhamba Road–Dwarka stretch be underground. The second survey conducted by an Indian team suggested that the stretch between Connaught Place and Panchkuian Road be elevated. The second survey was adopted by the DMRC. Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani laid the foundation stone of the Barakhamba Road–Dwarka line of DMRC at Shivaji Enclave in Raja Garden on June 3. Construction work began on July 31. The line, which constitutes the third corridor of the Phase I of DMRC, would be completed by September 2005 at an estimated cost of Rs 3,000 crore. |

When a construction firm erects walls, divides Gurgaon, September 3 The management authorities of Ardee City, which has purchased land around two colonies, Indra Colony 1 and 2, in the village have constructed walls around them, dividing the residents in the process. All entry and exit routes of the colonies have been blocked. The only entry-exit point is a gate set up by the firm. Movement through the gate is controlled by the firm. Consequently, freedom of movement of the residents of the two colonies have been curtailed, affecting their fundamental rights. The Jharsa village panchayat, which is the common elected self-governing body for village Jharsa and Bindapore, had carved out two colonies for the members of the SCs and the Backward Classes in 1984. The two colonies have about 750 plots in all, each of the size holding measuring 100 sq yds. The two colonies were carved out and the plots given under the 20-point programme of the Union government. The two colonies had been approved by the then state government even before the beneficiaries were given possession of the plots in 1984. The Town and Country Planning department of the state had earmarked the sites and prepared a plan to lay sewerage system and other facilities that go along with the approved colonies. Although no sewerage system has been laid to date, the plot holders constructed houses and were living happily till the time the Ardee City management arrived on the scene by purchasing land surrounding the colonies from the farmers. The process of purchasing the land by the construction company started about five years back. Gradually the company erected the boundary walls on virtually four sides of the Indira Colony 2 and the sides of Colony 1. While the Colony no 2 is exclusively inhabited by the members of the SCs, Colony no 1 has a mix of SCs and BCs. More than 300 plots fall in Colony no 2. A visit this morning to the two colonies, divided by a road, revealed that the Ardee City management was getting an inner boundary wall erected on Colony no 2. Although an official of the management of the construction company denied, the residents allege that the firm has encroached upon a number of places while setting up the boundary walls. An elderly resident of Indira Colony no 2,Mr Ved Prakash Balmiki, in the company of several other residents alleged that the construction company has an ulterior motive behind setting up the boundary walls and cutting them off from the outside wall. |

POK
REMARK New Delhi, September 3 The national president of ABVP, Mr Ramesh Pappa, addressing the media persons said that in an interview to a newspaper the NSUI candidate had said that PoK should be left with Pakistan. The ABVP activists, however, could not submit their memorandum to the Congress president as they were stopped by the Delhi Police, which had been called in to maintain peace. The NSUI on its part claims that the statement has “been tampered with” and that the ABVP, which had no election issue so far “is aiming for publicity”. “Our candidate had said that Kashmir is an integral part of the country and that we are not bothered about other’s regions,” said NSUI spokesperson Kuntal Krishna. He went on, “DUSU elections should be based on the issue related to the students. In any case what does the ABVP have to say about the Kargil issue that left so many soldiers dead.” The campaign for the 5th September polls is meanwhile heating up as the rival factions are trying hard to outdo one another. Apart from the two main factions of NSUI and ABVP, the third front represented by the CLJ-SFI combine has also managed to make their presence felt. |

BJP ministers also got plots of land: DPCC
New Delhi, September 3 Springing to the defence of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, DPCC president Prem Singh told media persons that she had come to know of the ‘discrepancies’ and cancelled the land allotted to all the societies. An investigation, he said, was in order so that the truth could come to light. Singh claimed that the BJP ministers had got plots of land allotted to themselves in the name of certain societies or non-government organisations. He said the investigation would vindicate the Congress’ stand on the issue. He also claimed Khurana was made chairman of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to “amass” funds for the BJP’s election campaign. The BJP, he alleged, was collecting money by coercion and the traders and businessmen were particularly ‘victims’. TNS

SQUAD AT IT Sonepat, September 3 According to a report, a dog squad and other forensic and fingerprint officials were summoned, but found no clue about the assailants. When his younger son went to the railway crossing for serving the tea, he did not find his father on duty. Thereupon, he went to the railway station and brought one employee with him. They searched for Partap Singh and found his body inside the duty room. The son immediately informed his parents about the incident. In the meantime, Mr Ram Niwas, another gateman turned up for duty and informed the GRP and other officials of the railways. A long-standing enmity is stated to be the cause of the murder. According to another report, the GRP has found the body of a youth Jai Kunwar of Jatwara Mohalla from the railway track near Shanni Mandir and sent it for a post-mortem. It is stated that he was crossing the track and was hit by a train.

Getting bills for non-existent mobile phones The reports of releasing mobile phone connections on the basis of fake documents of the landline consumers, have spread panic among the subscribers as well as the BSNL authorities in the district. According to information, one Rajesh of west Ramnagar is the subscriber of landline phone No. 2260648 and he has not applied for mobile phone connection on the basis of his landline number. However, he received two mobile phone bills- Rs 2,900 and Rs 2,100 for July and August respectively. After receiving them, he went to the BSNL office and lodged a complaint. During inquiries, it was revealed that one Ram Karan has got the mobile No 94160-13815 released in the name of Rajesh. Realising their own fault in the case, the BSNL authorities disconnected the phone and have reportedly lodged a complaint with the police. Rajesh has also complained to the police. In another case, one Ajit Singh of village Kheri damkan informed that his domestic landline phone no. 260185 is under the Lath village sub-exchange. Though he has never applied for a mobile connection, someone in the name of Ajit, son of Ram Karan, got a mobile phone released and the real Ajit came to know about it when he received a bill of Rs 17,000 from the BSNL authorities. He reported it to the BSNL authorities and it was found that someone had submitted a fake driving licence in the name of Ajit. When it was inquired from the office of the district transport officer, the driving licence No. 024692/s was found in the name of Virender, son of Maha Singh of Bhadana village. When contacted, the general manager of BSNL at Sonepat, Mr Ramesh Chander Hooda said the complaints had already been lodged with the police. |

Plan for state-of-the-art mini secretariat sent to govt Panipat, September 3 In fact, a meeting under the chairmanship of the SDM, Mr W. S. Goyat, was held here today and various issues related to the construction were discussed in detail. Once the proposal was approved by the government, the construction would get under way, sources told the NCR Tribune. The sources said the mini secretariat would be state-of-the-art and would boast of such facilities as a community centre, yoga kendra, service club, shopping centre, mini stadium and fire substation. To be spread over an area of 50 acres, the complex would have modern offices and spacious residences for the officers and staff of the district administration besides a judicial complex. An area of five acres will be earmarked for the general offices. Of this, 10,000 square feet will be covered for the general offices of the secretariat on all five floors. Similarly, the administrative block, which will have offices of the DC, SP, SDM, DRO, tehsildars, the police control room, the District Informatic Centre, Treasury and conference hall, would also be spread over an area of five acres. The ‘Vikas Sadan’, containing offices of the ADC, Zila Parishad, DDPO, Xen (Panchayati Raj), conference and training hall will be spread over two acres. While the judicial complex and residences will cover an area of 11 acres, the Lok Adalat, consumer court and labour court will be built in two acres. The sources said that a total of 618 residences would be constructed in the complex. These include the residences of the DC, the SP and the ADC, which would be constructed in an area of 2,700 square feet each. Besides, 45 single-storey residences of Class I officers will be built in an area of 1,882 square feet each. Apart from this, 70 Class II officers would get double-storey houses covering an area of 1,220 square feet each. As many as 400 residences for Class III and 100 houses for Class IV employees are also planned. It may be recalled that the district had been waiti8ng for the mini secretariat since 1989. A foundation stone of the complex was laid down by the then Chief Minister, Mr Bhajan Lal, but the project had been hanging fire on account of bureaucratic wrangling. |

SPECIAL
FOCUS ON PANIPAT Panipat, September 3 In fact, the show of strength by Mr Shah at the government-run motel Skylark turned out to be a congregation of the motley crowd of the Bhajan Lal faction of the HPCC. Mr Shah, a confidant of the HPCC chief, Mr Bhajan Lal, refuted the allegations that he had labelled the Jats as traitors, who always worked against the interests of the country. He claimed that he had never indulged in caste-based politics and that was the reason that the voters of every community had supported him in successive elections. Prominent among others who attended today’s meeting included the working District Congress president, Mr Mukesh
Tuteja, former MLA, Mr Jai Singh Rathi, HPCC secretary, Mr Varinder Shah and Mr Ram Nath
Kundu. However, leaders owing allegiance to the Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Assembly, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, were absent. It may be recalled that Mr Shah had been at the receiving end of the anger of the Yuva Krantikari Parishad, headed by a lesser-known leader, Mr Bittu Malik. The Parishad, had been agitating against the remarks of the MLA and had taken to the streets and even burnt the effigy of Mr Shah. Mr Malik threatened that the agitation against Mr Shah would continue till he tendered a public apology. The newspaper offices had been inundated with press releases in support and in opposition to Mr Shah. A prominent Punjabi leader, Mr Shah, clearly knows the quantum of damage the agitation of Jats could inflict on him. That is perhaps the reason that within a week or so, he had called two press conferences against what he called a “deep-rooted conspiracy” by the vested interests to malign him. Mercifully, the
Jat-dominated INLD government, which is quick to corner its political adversaries, has not yet opened its front against Mr Shah. That prominent Jat Congress leaders of the Hooda faction are not with Mr Shah only compounds his difficulties. Political observers wonder why Mr Shah was bothering so much on the allegation he never made. The best course for Mr Shah was to ignore the allegations and now Mr Shah seemed to be in a quandary, they added. |

These doors were soaked with the blood of Marathas Panipat, September 3 Of the two doors made, the other was fixed in Gandhi Memorial hall, (formerly Victoria Memorial Hall) in Karnal and subsequently, shifted to the Panipat Museum. According to historical details available, the mango tree was sprinkled by the blood of innumerable Maratha warriors during the Third Battle of Panipat. The unique Victoria Memorial Hall, now known as Gandhi Memorial Hall, was constructed in the early part of the 20th century in Karnal district. The door was handed over to the “Battle of Panipat Memorial Society”, and is now kept in the Panipat Museum. This tree itself is connected with an historical event. During the years 1740 to 1761, Chatrapati Sahu ruled Maharashtra and under the leadership of the third
Peshwa, Balaji Bajee Rao, the Marathas wanted to extend their rule to the whole of India. In 1756 Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded India and plundered the area around
Mathura. In between, the Afghan invaders had developed a powerful centre at Kunjpura (now known as Karnal). But the Marathas under the leadership of Sada Shiv Rav
Sahu, attacked Kunjpura, arrested the Afghan sardars and brought the area under their rule. On the other side, the Afghan invader Ahmad Shah Abdali reached Sonepat and was engaged in a fierce battle with the Marathas. In the battle, the elder son of
Peshwa, Vishwa Rao, was killed, which disheartened the Marathas, leading to their defeat. Almost 70,000 Marathas were killed in the battle on January 14, 1761. It is stated that this mango tree on this battlefield was soaked in the blood of the Marathas. Subsequently, the colour of the mango tree turned black when it dried up and the area came to be known as “Kala
Amb”. Much later, the famous poet of the area, Pandit Shagun Chand
Rais, used the wood of ‘Kala Amb’ to make two doorways. One of the doorways was presented to Queen Victoria on her arrival in India in 1903. The second door was kept in Victoria Memorial Hall, Karnal, now known as Gandhi Memorial Hall. In 2001, this doorway was brought back to Panipat and displayed at the Panipat Museum to perpetuate the memory of the Marathas killed in the “Kala
Amb” area in the Third Battle of Panipat. |

On August 25, a notice was sent by Mr A. C. Jha to owner of the plot (A-18) P. K. Agarwal warning him to rectify the illegal construction. Otherwise, strict action would be taken against him, he has been warned. Action is also being taken against the architect for submitting the wrong report, the authority sources say. Meanwhile, SSP Rajiv Krishen said as the matter concerned the Noida administration, the police could not take any action. If it were a case of plot encroachment, the police would have immediately swung into action. |

Mother Dairy hopes to end crisis in a week New Delhi, September 3 At present, Mother Dairy is supplying over 15 lakh litres of milk per day in the city, which is 1.5 lakh litres short of the normal requirement of 17 lakh litres per day. Mother Dairy hoped to bridge the gap in a week, said an official here today. He said Mother Dairy did not renew its contract with the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) for supply of liquid milk in December as it was getting enough supplies from Rajasthan. Mother Dairy had been taking 80,000 litres of liquid milk per day from Gujarat till December last year and three to four lakh litres per day from Rajasthan from January to March this year, he said. In fact, the contract with the GCMMF was not revived as the dairy was buying enough milk from Rajasthan, which it was told to do in December last year by the then Union Agriculture Minister, Mr Ajit Singh, to help Rajasthan milk producers. However, the supplies from the state decreased sharply by June because of the effect of the last year’s drought, he said. Delhi Development and Civil Supplies Minister Haroon Yusuf had, however, in August said that the dairies in the organised sector had failed to anticipate the demand and consequently did not order greater quantity of fresh milk and skimmed milk powder from Gujarat and other states. He had also said that the milk testing drive launched by the Delhi Government had created some apprehension in the minds of private suppliers and they had diverted their produce to other states. Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) head V. Kurien had also said that Mother Dairy did not order for SMP from Gujarat this year, thereby failing to maintain the additional stocks to meet any rise in demand. |
