Elections to Tika Ram Education Society challenged Sonepat, October 21 According to information, one Mahender Singh of village Mandora had filed an appeal in a local court questioning the authority of the returning officer to issue the notice for the election. He has submitted that according to the constitution of the society, only the administrator is the competent authority to issue notice one month before the election. It has also been pointed out in the appeal that the authorities have not published the revised electoral roll for the election. It has also been mentioned in the appeal that though hundreds of the life members of the society have expired, their names have not been removed from the electoral roll. Further, the names of 120 persons who became members of the society in 1995 have not been included in the voter list despite directions of the court. Meanwhile, it has been pointed out that the names of number of people had appeared twice or even thrice in the old electoral list. These discrepancies had not been removed. It may be recalled that the society has been managed by the administrator-Additional Deputy Commissioner of Sonepat-during the last five years. According to election schedule announced, the polling will take place on November 2. The SDM, Sonepat, has been appointed the returning officer. The Tika Ram Education Society is one of the most prestigious Jat-dominated society, that runs five educational institutions in the town. |

Four to get the stick for illegally showing ‘abadi’ land Noida, October 21 The District Magistrate, Mr M L Venketeshwar Lu, has recommended a strong action to the administration against four administration officials. The District Magistrate said he had sent his proposal for the acquisition of land in connection with the Taj Expressway to the State Revenue Council under Clause 4 on 21 June. A proposal for acquiring 25 bigha land as per Khasra No I and II had also been incorporated in the proposal, the DM said. The then Sadar Tehsildar Chander Babu had misled the district administration and the government by stating that the above-referred land was abadi land, hence it could not be acquired for the project. The government had then ordered the district administration for conducting an inquiry into the matter. The probe was conducted by administrative officer, Noida authority, Vishal Srivastava, the then Dy Collector Rajeev Gupta and Tehsildar Shailander Singh. However, these three officials had also towed the line of the Tehsildar Chander Babu and misguided the authorities, Mr Venketeshwar Lu said. The land in question was left out of the ambit of acquisition by the authorities. But when the news of the land, as not of abadi land, was published by the press, the government asked Addl DM, Dr Shiv Prasad and Dy DM Sadar, Yogender Yadav to conduct a fresh probe which concluded that the said Khasra number did not have any abadi land. Earlier officers had thus misled the government with their biased recommendation that the land in question was abadi. All the four officials, Vishal Srivastava, Rajiv Gupta, Chander Babu Gupta and Shailender Singh involved in this probe were, therefore, found guilty of having
willfully misled the government. A letter has thus been sent to the administration recommending strong action against all those found guilty, the DM said.

GLITZ & GLAMOUR
After a rainy spell that seemed never ending, the city is ready to bid adieu to the summer sun as well. And since changing season also means a change in the wardrobe, the city’s show windows have already begun airing the woollies and what have you for the winter months ahead. Weekender’s Autumn Winter 2003 collection has three new categories, the Essentials, the Blues and the Hardwear. Blues is about denim wear with co-ordinated shirts and tops. The range offers trousers in retro styling using experimental washes, stylised trousers in cross hatch denim, bootcuts and laser prints. In the ‘Hardwear’ category for women, there are tops with raw edge finish, hand embroidered and leather tie-ups, suede capris, wraparounds and embroidered skirts. The ‘Essentials’ have sweaters in acrowool, lambwool and silver knits. Jackets in polyster fleece, nylon taffeta and moleskin are included. ‘Globus’ claims its offerings for the cold season is “hot” and inspired by the 50s! There is a mishmash of “tough romantic look influenced by noble opulence and radical street style”. Plus, “a hint of European Dandy sets in,” say the women’s wear brand. To make it simpler, it is “kitsch all the way” with “dishevelled look”. The palette is “a riot of campus inspired highlights to tandoori rich tones, with shadowy silver and burnished gold that sets the mood to perfection.” Not to offend the 80s, the ‘Globus’ range has, “draped jerseys, extravagantly falling from a halter neckline or prettily tied shoulder details, sleeves mostly slashed open and caught at the wrist.” Going back for inspiration is fashionable enough. Spykar too has gone back to the “glamorous 70s of studio ’54 look”. On offer are “overall and asymmetric prints and embroideries, pigment sprays, bold and psycho-graphic prints and appliqué work.” The range is significant with a multitude of contrasts in fabrics, patterns and prints. Several techniques and materials have been blended together to give richness and individuality to the fabric. Mystical line

The line is a collection of 17 limited edition designs in diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other precious stones, set in white and yellow gold. Inspired by the Sufi tradition, the collection, claim the makers is “unique and mystical”. Wondering why the 11 men were chosen to do the honours? Bhaskar Bhat, MD Titan Industries offers: “Our objective of launching the Zoya was to present an inimitable collection that apart from making a style statement, would be cherished not only by women, but also earn the appreciation of men”. Therefore, “this is why we wished Tanishq Zoya to be unveiled by men who share the same intrinsic values we associate with the collection”. What is more, part of the proceeds from the sale of the collection will be given to charities supported by “these men”.
