helping rape victim Panipat: The detention of three persons, including a human rights activist, allegedly at the instance of the local SDM last night has taken a new turn. A local court today directed the Civil Surgeon to medically examine a woman who had alleged that she was raped by Harish, a resident of Jagjivan Ram Colony. It may be recalled that the rights activist, Dr Narinder Kumar, was picked up from his clinic by the police early yesterday. Dr Kumar had been demanding the accused should be punished. The victim, along with her father, had met the SDM to demand action against the guilty youth on Tuesday. The victim today approached the court of Mr Mahabir Singh, Judicial Magistrate First class, and alleged that repeated pleas to the police and the SDM to get her medically examined had fallen on deaf ears. Instead, the police was pressing her to withdraw the charges against the accused. The father of the victim was also allegedly thrashed by one of the gunmen of the official. Even as Dr Kumar pleaded their case the police swooped down on his clinic and picked him up. The father and the girl were also detained later. Dr Kumar was today remanded in judicial custody while the girl’s father was granted bail. Meanwhile, scores of supporters of Dr Kumar gheraoed the police post last night.

Health
alert New Delhi, October 9 According to the president of the Delhi Medical Association, Dr Anil Bansal, every five to six years an epidemic hits Delhi and this time it could be dengue. He pointed out that the weather, which was neither too hot nor too cold, was ideal for the spread of the disease. The NICD officials blamed the long-drawn monsoon for the increase in the number of dengue cases. The institute has been receiving samples from various government and private hospitals in the Capital. Fresh water, when held for a couple of days, provides a good breeding ground for the Aedes mosquito, which acts as a vector, the Medical Superintendent of Apollo Hospital, Dr Anupam Sibbal, said. The Flavy virus, which was responsible for dengue, could only grow inside the mosquito, he said, adding that once it got into the human body, the body on its own started creating antibodies to fight the virus. The All India Institute of Medical Science had received 26 suspected dengue cases so far out of which eight had been confirmed, the AIIMS spokesperson, Dr Arti Vij, said. Three patients, who were admitted in the institute for treatment, had been discharged, Dr Vij added. Though there was no specific treatment for the disease, doctors should treat the patients according to the symptoms, Dr Bansal said, adding that not all dengue cases were fatal. Only .5 to one per cent of the cases, which went untreated, might end in death, he said. He added that among four types of the disease, type II was most dangerous and could cause hemorrhage, which could result in death due to bleeding from the nose, mouth or rectum. Dr Bansal cautioned people against quacks as they generally prescribed steroids, which, by reducing the immunity of the body, caused more harm than good. The Delhi Health Minister, Dr A. K. Walia, has issued directives to all blood banks and laboratories in all hospitals in Delhi to remain functional round the clock. Directives have also been issued to the hospitals to keep reserve beds for dengue patients. The National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) has also issued technical guidelines to the hospitals under the Delhi Government on disease control. |

Snow Park to provide ‘live’ experience of Antarctica Gurgaon, October 9 The park was launched by a slew of international artists from Europe and Russia performing on the blood curdling ice floor. The performances, packaged under the rubric ‘Magic on Ice,’ were specially compiled and choreographed to bring out the best skating talent. A one-act show took the audience through different sequences of Latin, Russian and Arabian Sabre dance. Rock n’ Roll, the Hussar dance and Indipop were thrown in good measure. The park is a multi-polar facility spread over 60,000 square feet with temperature ranging between 18 to 20 degree Celsius; it plummets to minus five degrees Celsius in the ‘Snow House’. This would be an year-round facility, according to the Managing director of Polo group of companies, Mr Balwant Chawla. The park offers an ice-skating rink of international standards: the rink floor is said to have about 100 tonnes of ice. Also, it would offer a package of ‘Snow n’ Ice’ experience with skiing, sledging, tubing, tobogganing and snow play areas for the entire family. According to the director of the firm, Mr Santok Chawla, an indoor ski slope of 110 meters with real snow and a ski lift to carry the skiers to the top is also being developed. The icing on the cake would include a ‘Snow House,’ where creations in ice and snow, coupled with audio visual and 3D effects, would aim to bring home a near live experience of the Antarctica, with 3-dimensional displays of avalanches, blizzards brought live by real snowfall, ice and snow trimmings. Also being developed is an ice museum, which would be the first of its kind to showcase creations in ice, akin to creations in wax at London-based Madamme Tussad’s Wax Museum.

During the yatra, which started on Dasehra day from Jassor Kheri village in the Bahadurgarh assembly segment of Sonepat parliamentary constituency, the BJP leaders are concentrating in giving detailed accounts of the policies and programmes of the Vajpayee government which are specifically aimed at rural uplift. They are detailing out the financial assistance and development grants being provided by the central government to the state government with the claim that most of the development works and welfare measures have been launched and financed by the central government. It is a part of their effort to make people understand that the role of the central government is more than that of the state government in the development activities, particularly in rural areas. Mr Sangwan, who claimed to have addressed more than 150 Jan Jagran meetings in different villages and towns during these days, does not miss the opportunity to explain that besides more than half a dozen rural development programmes the central government has introduced a number of new schemes, including formation of a new agriculture policy, implementation of kisan credit card yojna and crop insurance scheme, release of financial help to the state governments to make payment of the outstanding arrears of the sugarcane growers in the sugar mills, reduction in interest rates on crop loans etc. He is asking the people to participate in large numbers in the BJP’s maha rally at Panipat on October 14 which will be addressed by Deputy Prime Minister L. K. Advani, BJP president Venkaiah Naidu, Union Agriculture Minister Rajnath Singh and other senior BJP leaders. Mr Sangwan, while talking to NCR Tribune, said most of the people in the village were not aware about the central government sponsored development and welfare schemes and they general gave credit to the state government for such programmes. “We will ensure that it is known to the people and then they will certainly acknowledge it and will respond positively,” he claimed. |

Money, muscle power take centre stage as ministers return home Meerut, October 9 As the newly appointed ministers returned to their constituencies, an unending race to showcase ones money and muscles power took centre stage during the welcome processions. The last two days have been extremely “tough” for the residents of western Uttar Pradesh as there has been a general chaos, and traffic jams in the region has been a common sight. Among the heavyweights included in the ministry from the region are Virendra Singh from Muzaffarnagar, Kiranpal Singh from Bulandshahre and Jadish Singh Rana from Saharanpur. Three Ministers, Prabhudayal, Shahid Manjoor and Hazi Yakoob are from Meerut. Kutubuddin Ansari, Chitranjan Swaroop, Moolchand, Sanjay Garg, Dharampal, Umakiran, Swami
Omvesh, Rajendra Singh Rana, Raj Pal Tyagi are from the adjoining districts. Frenzied supporters of the newly appointed ministers from Meerut have ensured that the city has come to a standstill in the last two days. On October 7, when Hazi Yakoob, Minority and Haj Welfare Minister, was on his way to Meerut from Hapur Railway Station, he was followed by a kilometer-long procession. More than 1,000 heavy vehicles, including tractors, scooters and motorcycles along with more than 300 persons carrying firearms such as guns, revolvers and other country-made firearms followed ‘triumphantly’. The firearms were openly displayed in the presence of senior police officers. As the procession entered the city, the city came to a standstill and roads were jammed for most of the day. A large number of people out on their daily works were trapped amidst the procession. Students and small children, including girls on their way back from schools, were also trapped inside their buses. In effect the traffic in the city became normal only in the evening. On Monday it was the turn of two ministers, Mr Prabhu Dayal and Mr Shahid Manjoor, to return to Meerut. Again thousands of their supporters with hundreds of vehicles and a large number of firearms gathered at the railway station. They fired in the air indiscriminately, creating unnecessary panic in the procession. In the panic, Mr Shahid Manjoor lost his balance and fell down. His clothes were torn in the panic and had to address the media in his torn clothes. Once again the people, particularly children coming from their schools, were trapped in the procession. In effect, while western Uttar Pradesh may have benefited from the recent Cabinet expansion, this honour has turned into a curse for the
common man as an unending race to showcase ones money and muscle power has taken centre stage. |
Power employees sore over contract system Faridabad, October 9 The association of the employees, the All Haryana Power Corporation Workers Union, has not only protested against privatisation but has also alleged that the appointment of contractors was being done on partisan lines, which had led to deterioration of various services. A spokesperson of the association said here today that the contractors of the HVPN had started interfering in the working of the department in a direct and indirect manner. He charged that a contractor, who had been allotted the work of meter reading in Panipat area, had exerted his political influence to transfer staff of the nigam, after complaints were lodged against the contractor for erroneous meter reading. The spokesperson claimed that active members of the association at Tohana had also been transferred as they had been involved in a campaign against corruption and malpractices of certain officials and contractors in the nigam. The chief organiser of the employees’ association, Mr Subhash Lamba, claimed that the policy of awarding contracts to persons close to the ruling party was not only unjustified but detrimental to the interest of the nigam and its overall functioning. He further alleged that the contractors had been exploiting the workers employed by them. The various services, too, had suffered on account of privatisation. The government and the authorities might find it more convenient to award work to contractors but, he said, there was a lack of responsibility and accountability on the part of the latter, leading to inefficiency and corruption. Hundreds of complaints had been received in each circle or division in this connection. At times, the bills were not delivered; occasionally, the bills were delivered late and the consumers had to fork out a surcharge for no fault of theirs. He also alleged that in some cases meter reading had been faulty. Mr Lamba alleged that many members of the union had been transferred under political pressure; often the contractors wanted to teach the staff a lesson. He said a meeting of the executive committee of the union would be held at Sonepat on October 18 and 19. The union and the Sarva Karamchari Sangh, Haryana, would be forced to start an agitation, if the recent transfers of the employees were not cancelled. |

Sonepat Sonepat, October 9 The distance between the judicial courts and the court of the Sub Divisional Magistrate is about a furlong, with the result that lawyers and litigants spend a great deal of their time rushing from one place to another. Moreover, the offices of the Tehsildar and the Treasury officer are situated about 3 km away from the mini-secretariat. In effect, scores of government offices are housed in rented buildings, making the government needlessly pay thousands of rupees as rent every month. Among the offices housed in private buildings include those of the Excise and Taxation Department, the Labour and Employment Department, Education Department, the Confed, the Animal Husbandry Department and the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam. According to some, the operation of these government offices from private residential houses has also aggravated the housing problem in the city. The office of the Superintending Engineer (Operation), UHBVN, is located on the old DC road near Anand Cinema house while the City sub-division and the Model Town sub-division are located in Prem Nagar and the Model Town areas respectively. Similarly, the offices of the Executive Engineer (Operation) and the Executive Engineer (suburban) are located at Fazilpur Village, which is three km away from the city. Hence, the people face considerable difficulties in locating these offices and getting their works done. Moreover, since the shifting of the district Employment Exchange to sector-14, a residential colony of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda), youths coming to register their names face great hardships as it is located about 4 km away from the main city. Often the unemployed people are forced to visit the office on foot, as it is too expensive for them to pay the exorbitant rickshaw charges. The districts unit of the ‘Haryana Non-employed Persons Sangh’ has strongly criticised the decision of the authorities to shift the office to Sector-14. Similarly, industrialists visiting the office of the Executive Engineer, Environment, located in Sector-15, to get their works done face great hardship. They have demanded the immediate shifting of this office within the city. Representatives of various trade unions have resented the shifting of the office of the Deputy Labour Commissioner (DLC) from Sonepat to Panipat and have demanded its relocation to Sonepat as workers and trade union leaders face great difficulties in pursuing their cases relating to labour disputes and other associated matters. They have pointed out that they have to spend a lot of money on conveyance between Sonepat and Panipat and vice versa. Moreover, they have alleged that there is no coordination between the District Labour and Conciliation Officer, Sonepat, and the DLC, resulting in unnecessary delays.
Non-payment of wages Residents of Chatia Aulia village have sent a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner demanding a high-level probe into the complaints about the non-payment of wages to the workers by the sarpanch of Tharu Uldepur village in this district.
