IT survey at police
officer’s resort Chandigarh, September
30 A few days back, the
department had conducted an extensive survey at Sohi Resorts, owned by
the family of a known Congress leader from the area. Sources in the
department said apprehending evasion of income tax, officers of the
department from the Patiala range were today busy in conducting the
survey at the resort in Zirakpur. The survey could be extended to
other marriage palaces and resorts in the area, said a senior officer
in the department. The sources said the investment made in raising
the structure, collections from marriage functions and the related
activity of catering and tent houses had come under the scrutiny by IT
sleuths. The account books and financial records of the marriage
resort had been taken in possession by the assessing officers. Till
the filing of this report, the survey was in progress and nothing
conclusive had been yielded. A few days ago, a lavish marriage party
of an NRI had taken place at the resort. |

Panchayat land to house cattle owners Chandigarh, September 30 The money will be given from the funds of the market committee as the Administration aims to settle all 6,000 milch cattle on these lands. At present, a scrutiny is on to physically verify the claims of 400 applicants who had sought land for cattle rearing. The applicant will have to have a minimum of five milch cattle. The minimum land on offer is 150 square yards. The maximum land on offer is 350 square yards. The rent is Rs 2 per square yard. The Deputy Commissioner, Mr Arun Kumar, said the first allocation would be made within two months in villages of Maloya and Khuda
Lahora. Collectively these two villages have about 45 acres of land which had been identified for the allotment to cattle
rearers. Another 15 acres of Panchayat land had been identified in villages of Mauli
Jagran, Khuda Ali Sher and Kaimbwalla. The issue of resettlement of cattle had come up as the Administration had rejected a resolution of the municipal corporation seeking to stop the impounding of cattle in five villages falling under the area of the municipal council. The municipal council had passed a resolution on April 29 this year seeking that a drive to impound cattle should be stopped and sought that people carrying out dairy farming should be allotted lands elsewhere. The council had sought time for six months. The Administration rejected the demand of the council to allot lands for dairy farming or to stop the challaning drive. The Administration had then said that the position was clear that there should be no cattle in the municipal limits. Now the resettlement is being carried out in villages which are outside the municipal limits. The Periphery Control Act provided for cattle rearing activity, thus the scheme had been floated. |

Rural areas to get urban facilities Chandigarh, September 30 Justice Verma while reviewing the progress of various projects at a meeting with senior officers said in any case urban population of Chandigarh was hardly paying any taxes but major budgetary component was spent an upgrading and maintaining the infrastructure in urban areas. He said the focus of the Administration must shift to rural areas to reverse the trend of migration. Civic amenities and infrastructure in rural areas had to be brought on par a with urban areas so that urban population was lured to settle in the rural areas. He said rural people provided so many services to the urban population and they deserved to be taken care of. The Administrator asked the Deputy Commissioner to conduct extensive survey of all villages to understand the macro as well as micro requirements of every village. After the survey, three to four villages would be selected in the first phase, which could be included for the upgradation of infrastructure in successive years plan. He said infrastructure of all villages should be upgraded within three years in a phased manner. Emphasising the need for decentralisation and giving more powers to the Panchayats and rural elected bodies, Justice Verma said time had come to empower the Panchayats, especially in the areas of sanitations, local governance so that they could become responsible as well as accountable for the maintenance of their villages. Justice Verma asked the Adviser to identify the rural school, which could be upgraded, and efficient and dedicated teachers should be posted in such schools. He said that rural schools showing good result must be rewarded and recognised. Justice Verma observed that sports activities were neglected in rural schools and a campaign should be launched to hunt sports talents, especially for traditional games from the rural schools. The Deputy Commissioner, Mr Arun Kumar gave a presentation to the Administrator regarding progress in various projects in model village, Kaimbwala. He said that work on storm water drainage system in Kaimbwala had already started. The tenders for strengthening the roads, village lanes, ‘phirni’ of the village and upgradation of other infrastructure were being finalised. Link road to Saketri was being completed on a war footing, which will enable villagers of Kaimbwala to go for shopping in Saketri as well as in Manimajra. A sum of Rs 50.00 lakh had been earmarked for this financial year for various works in village Kaimbwala. Land has been acquired for the expansion of existing school and construction of sports stadium in the village. |
