Calves’ tails chopped off: Tantrik on the loose?
B. S. Malik

Sonepat, October 5
The villagers of Mahendipur have been rattled by recent incidents of calves’ tails being chopped off. There have been reportedly 17 such incidents in the past one month; in 15 cases, the calves perished due to excessive bleeding.

The villagers suspect the hand of a tantrik behind these incidents. Despite all precautionary measures, there has been no let-up in these attacks and it is feared that the menace may spread to the adjoining villages.

According to reports, about four weeks back the tails of some calves were found chopped off; due to excessive bleeding all the calves died. These belonged to Dharam Singh, Bheema, Pale Ram, Kanwal Singh, Mange Ram, Rajbir, Tek Ram, Suresh and Zile Singh.

Rattled villagers held a meeting of the panchayat on Thursday. It was unanimously decided in the panchayat that the villagers would punish those behind these incidents by chopping off their heads and hands and socially boycotting their families. A team of 20 village youths was formed for theekri pahra (night patrolling) in the village and the owners of milching buffaloes were asked to remain vigilant. The village Sarpanch, Ms Saroj Devi, informed that the villagers suspected the involvement of a tantrik who had been given shelter by someone in the village.

The villagers are so afraid that they do not allow the calves to go out in the evening and have started locking their houses. The panchayat has also appointed a chowkidar to carry out night patrolling between 9 pm and 5 am in the village.

Despite all such precautions, the tails of two calves were found chopped on Saturday morning. Sundu, son of Bheema, informed the village panchayat that after the cattle ate fodder in the morning he tied them outside the house and went inside for sometime. But when he returned after sometime, he found that the tails of the two calves had been chopped and there was a pool of blood around them.

The villagers feel that someone from the village was definitely involved in the attacks because the latest strike had taken place in the morning. The villagers have now decided to undertake round-the-clock patrolling.

HEALTH WATCH
Dengue death claims refuted
Bijendra Ahlawat
Tribune News Service

Faridabad, October 5
The Faridabad Health Department is adamant that there have been no dengue deaths in the district so far. Even the death of a woman of Dhatir village of Palwal sub-division on October 1, apparently due to dengue, has been contested by the District Medical Health Officer, who has dismissed it as a case of meningitis.

According to information, Mrs Kamlesh, alias Batti Devi (35), a mother of three children and wife of late Satbir Singh of Dhatir village, died in a leading private hospital here on October 1. According to relatives, the patient was suffering from high fever and had been given a blood transfusion. The family sources are adamant that the death was due to dengue. To buttress their claim, the sources pointed out that the hospital has billed the family Rs 56,000, even though Mrs Kamlesh was admitted only for 36 hours.

The Chief Medical Office (CMO), Dr S P S Bhatia, told this correspondent that he had no knowledge of any dengue-related deaths. Claiming that some private nursing homes and hospitals had been dishing out erroneous figures and information about the outbreak of the disease, he said public perception about the disease was such that any death could be misconstrued as dengue.

The CMO, however, admitted that blood samples of at least three patients sent for tests to the NICD laboratory were found to be dengue positive. At the same time, he hastened to add, about 50 per cent of the test reports had been negative.

Trying to put the claims and counterclaims in perspective, the MLA from Palwal, Mr Karan Dalal, said that it was fact that a large number of villagers in Palwal and nearby areas were suffering from fever and other waterborne diseases. He alleged that there were ``no doctors, medicines or treatment facilities in the rural areas and the district authorities were busy organising the Surajkund mela.

Three new jails to ease burden on Tihar
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, October 5
Three new jails are likely to come up soon in the Capital to decongest the high-security Tihar Central Jail which at present accommodates 12,786 undertrials and convicts, over three times its sanctioned capacity.

Two new jails are under construction at Tihar while the third one, at Rohini in West Delhi, is likely to be functional by the end of this year, the District and Sessions Judge, Mr J. P. Singh, said in a report to the Delhi High Court.

Recruitment of staff for Rohini Jail has already begun and the same would be completed by December, he said. These additional three jails would have a total capacity of 1,800 inmates,” Mr Singh said, adding, “This will definitely reduce problems due to overcrowding”.

The report rejected allegations in a PIL by one L. R.Luthra that the inmates were “not being treated as human beings”. However, the District and Sessions Judge, who visited Tihar Jail complex along with the Additional Sessions Judge, Mr P. K. Bhasin, and also obtained comments from other inspecting judges, said the living conditions of the inmates required “improvement”.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice B. C. Patel and Mr Justice A. K. Sikri asked the Union Home Secretary, the Delhi Chief Secretary and the Director-General, Prisons, NCT Government, to give a time-frame for the improvements suggested in the report. The matter has been posted for hearing later this month.

The report also rejected the suggestion that undertrial doctors and other professionals could be allowed to attend clinics and offices along with a jail escort.

THE ACHIEVERS
He chucked his job with an MNC to work for underprivileged
Nalini Ranjan

New Delhi, October 5
For the young MBA from Delhi University, Dinesh Kumar Singh, July 1999 turned out to be an eventful month. Like hundreds of others, he had virtually realised his dream and that of his parents as well. He had graduated with good marks and had also managed to get a lucrative job in a multinational. The future looked bright. But apparently, destiny had other designs for this sensitive youth.

A peon, Ram Prakash, in his office was unable to attend office regularly because of the poor health of his wife. Since there was no one else to look after the ailing woman, the man had no option but to take time off from work. The management, however, was unsympathetic. His services were terminated one fine day.

The young executive was shocked to learn a few days later that the peon, unable to find another job, had committed suicide in desperation. This incident perturbed him. It left an indelible mark on his psyche. It was at that time that he decided to do something for these unfortunate people- people of the lesser God, as he puts it.

A resident of Ganesh Nagar area of East Delhi, Dinesh resigned from his office and started a voluntary social service organisation, Jan Jagran Manch, to help make the underprivileged aware of their rights and guide them in times of distress.

The initial days were hard work. First, a few persons joined the organisation uncertain about what it could do for them. But seeing his sincerity and determination, the others were motivated. Help came from many quarters as volunteers pitched in with financial contributions and even professional advice. The movement spread and within a couple of years the manch now boasts of thousands of members, mostly from the labour class - daily wage earners and rickshaw-pullers.

Through street theatre (nukkad nataks), slide shows and personal counselling, these people are informed of their rights so that they are not exploited by contractors and individuals. The manch also helps the more unfortunate ones with financial assistance when they are unable to find work.

The manch has recently started three temporary schools in various locations of East Delhi for the children of these unfortunate people. Here, everything is absolutely free. Most of the funds come from donations and membership fees.

Dinesh has recently completed his LLB degree from Delhi University and has started giving free legal counselling to the needy under the aegis of his organisation. His organisation has also been instrumental in speeding up the completion of some significant construction works in East Delhi area like the construction of permanent Chatha Ghat with lighting arrangement on the banks of the Yamuna.

With a majority of 40 lakh immigrant labourers from Bihar making East Delhi area their home this organisation is also trying to induct them into its fold and help them find employment and work. His wife, Mrs Shonu Singh, has always stood by him and even assists him in the social work.

Hailing originally from Siwan in Bihar, Dinesh says that he probably inherited his zest for social work from his father, Mr Bhagwan Singh, a popular social worker in his hometown. The peon’s suicide was perhaps an eye-opener and paved the way for his true vocation.

Dulina lynching worse than Best Bakery case: CPM

Rohtak: The Haryana unit of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) will observe October 15 as Social Justice Day as no action had been taken so far against those held responsible for the lynching of five Dalits at Dulina village in Jhajjar district on October 15 last year.

Addressing newspersons here today, Mr Hanan Mollah, MP in charge of party affairs in Haryana and Punjab, described the Dulina incident as more heinous than the Best Bakery case of Gujarat.

Faridabad roads in disrepair
Tribune News Service

Faridabad, October 5
The roads are in a state of disrepair here, so much so that the industrialists of Faridabad described the damaged roads as the number one problem in the district at the time of the inauguration of the ‘Surajkund Trade Fest’ here yesterday evening. The Chief Minister was the chief guest on the occasion.

Speaking on behalf of the industry, leading industrialist K. C. Lakhani said that although we have attained much progress on various fronts, the biggest problem for the entrepreneurs and manufactures even for the general public is the damaged roads. Although the municipal authorities had promised repair, Mr Lakhani demanded more funds and prompt action. The Badarpur border was a ‘bottleneck’ and proving a disadvantage for the overall growth, he added.

He said that the proposal of constructing a four-lane bypass road connecting Ballabgarh with Kalindi Kunj was still to be taken up. In his reply, the Chief Minister said: “Not only the roads would be put in proper shape, but also announced that an action would be taken against the contractors who had been using substandard material in constructions of roads.”

He said the proposal of constructing on elevated flyover at Badarpur border was cleared by the Union Government and would be realised soon.

He said that a similar flyover on the National Highway passing through Panipat had also been okayed by the Centre. The Chief Minister claimed that Haryana was likely to be self-sufficient in power by September or October next year.

He said that efforts were on to develop Surajkund a permanent spot for holding trade fairs.

Indians in great demand in Australia: Educationist
Our Correspondent

Rewari, October 5
Prof. V.D. Randev, a veteran educationist of the town, has said that during his recent tour of Australia, he found that the Indian settlers were leading a prosperous and respectable life there.

He expressed these views here at a press conference which was convened by him today after returning from his 66-day tour of Singapore, Australia and Thailand.

He said it was a matter of pride that most of the Indian settlers, who now numbered two lakh, belonged to the upper and middle strata of the Australian society. On the basis of information culled from various sources, he could say that electricians, accountants and plumbers were in great number there.

He said that he was pleasantly surprised to note that the Christian population of Australia had also been gradually going in for cremation of their dead. As a result, several electric crematoriums had sprung up at various places in Australia which were providing the services to the Hindus as well as the Christians there.

Making a specific mention of certain things which impressed him most in Australia, he started that roads had fixed entry, exit and halting points, the strict adherence to which made the roads almost accident-free.

He lauded the functioning of the courts where the rate of conviction of the accused was quite high.

As regards certain other things which were antagonistic to the Indian ethics, Mr Randev said that it was shocking to find that young students of a university had graphically (by writing on the university board) thanked their vice-chancellor for making the provision of free condom supply.

He said he was also disheartened to note that the divorce rate was increasing among the Australian couples.

In the end, Mr Randev said that he would like to caution the young Indian chaps, who were eagerly aspiring to go to Australia for higher studies, against falling into the trap of private universities and colleges of Australia, which charged exorbitant fees. Many of them didn’t even possess the basic expertise and paraphernalia, the veteran educationist said.

GURGAON
RWA election candidate contests results
Ravi S. Singh
Tribune News Service

Gurgaon, October 5
It was the election for the office-bearers of DLF Qutab Enclave Residents’ Welfare Association, but the stakes for the contestants, especially for the post of president, appeared to be high.

A contestant for the position of president, Mr Sanjay Khosla has lodged a complaint with the Registrar of Firms and Societies, Haryana, and the Block Development Officer, Gurgaon, against the large-scale rigging in the election, held on September 28.

He has urged the Registrar of Firms and Societies, Haryana, for declaring the election results of the president as null and void.

The former president, Mr R.S.Rathee, was declared elected for the second consecutive term mustering 503 out of 845 votes cast.

Mr Khosla, his nearest rival secured 320 votes.

The DlF Qutab Enclave Residents’ Welfare Association claims to be covering all the five phases of DLF City.

In a letter to the Returning Officer for the election, Mr J.S.Dhamija, copies of which have been sent to the Registrar of Firms and Societies, Haryana, and the BDO, Gurgoan, Mr Khosla alleged that about 200-250 votes were cast by way of impersonation in the name and on behalf of the persons who were not even physically present at the time of polling.

Giving details of the contents of the letter, he said that he had pointed out certain names of residents of the DLF City who had been outstations but votes were cast against their names.

He charged that the rigging has been done to benefit the incumbent president.

He said that some of the persons who were candidates were allowed to act as the polling officers as well, including participation in counting ballots.

No verified list of eligible voters was displayed or made available to the candidates. Although during the election process, there were several complaints against the impersonations, they were not attended to. No action was taken then or subsequently by the Returning Officer.

According to him, trends of gross impersonation noticed in the previous elections, have been allowed to recur without check.

However, Mr Dhamija rebutted the allegations of Mr Khosla. Mr Dhamija said that the latter did not raise any objection at the time of polling. He was raising the stink only after losing the election, he added.
