INLD performance
unsatisfactory, says Ganeshi Lal Chandigarh, November 11 Talking to newsmen Prof Ganeshi Lal, said while the state unit would accept the decision taken by the high command, the sentiments of the state unit would not be ignored while taking a decision about the BJP’s ties with the INLD during the next assembly elections. Though the Haryana BJP was not happy with the performance of the Chautala Government, it would continue to support it from outside just as the INLD was supporting the Vajpayee Government at the Centre. The BJP leader said while supporting the Chautala Government, his party did not fail in its duty to raise public interest issues at appropriate platforms. It was the BJP which raised the demand for a crop insurance scheme. Again the BJP opposed the implementation of VAT, the premature release of convicts and the imprisonment of farmers agitating for their rights. Several senior BJP leaders had to suffer lathi blows while opposing the demolition of houses. He demanded that those whose houses had been demolished should be provided alternative sites. Welcoming the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s decision to hand over the investigations into the murder of Mr Ram Chander
Chhaterpati, a Sirsa-based journalist, to the CBI, Prof Ganeshi Lal said the premier investigating agency should also be asked to investigate the murder of a Kaithal-based journalist, Mr Parma Nand Goel, whose family had levelled serious allegations after the incident. Prof Ganeshi Lal, who was the Prohibition Minister in the Bansi Lal Government, said he had not received any notice from the Verma Commission of Inquiry set up to go into the prohibition policy imposed by the HVP-BJP Government and under what circumstances it was lifted. |

Haryana plans centralised seniority for NGOs Panchkula, November 11 Official sources inform that the proposal for a centralised seniority was being worked out and would be sent to the state government for approval. Under this scheme, all NGO’s (constables, janta
havaldars, head constables, Assistant Sub-Inspectors, Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors) in the state will be brought at a common platform before being considered for promotion, as and when there is a vacancy at the next promotion post. It may be noted that as of now the promotion for all NGOs is being done at the district level. As and when certain posts in a police district fall vacant, the staff is promoted according to a time bound scale. This has led to a lot of heart burning among the NGOs, as staff in some districts having more vacancies get promoted fast , while the promotion of an NGO of the same seniority, but posted in a different district, is delayed in case there is no vacancy . Till last year, the promotion of all constabulary in the state was based solely on the vacancies available in the next promotion post. It was last year that the Haryana Government started a time-bound promotion policy by introducing a 16-year cooling period for the promotion of police constables as extra head constables
(EHCs) or janta havaldar. Last month, the state government also introduced this time bound promotion policy for the head constables to ASI (after 30 years of service) and for ASI to Sub Inspector (after 35 years of service). It was thus that 1100 constables have recently promoted as
EHCs, and 879 head constables were promoted as ASIs. Meanwhile, the state police has also got the clearance for conducting B-1 (merit-cum-seniority examination) for its constabulary. About 2000 police personnel in various ranks of the constabulary had appeared in this merit exam in 2001, but some police personnel had approached the High Court, demanding restraint on the state police for conducting this exam and implementing the result. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had ordered last year that the state police could declare the result of the examination conducted, but could not implement the results. With the restraint on merit-cum-seniority exams, the police investigating work in most districts was being affected for shortage of investigating officers (head constables are also allowed to work as investigating officers in cases pertaining to local and special crimes). However, it has now been clarified that promotion procedure where merit is allowed (as in the B-1 examination) has not been stayed. |

Tributes
paid to Capt Kaushal Panchkula, November 11 The 27- year- old officer from 12 Rashtriya Rifles had attained martyrdom on November 11,1996, while fighting Afghan militants in the Gandoh area of Doda district in Jammu and Kashmir. The Government of India honoured him posthumously with Sena Medal in recognition of this supreme sacrifice. Rohit had an intense desire to serve his motherland and left a course in Engineering to join the army, says his father, Mr S.S. Kaushal. After Rohit was commissioned on June 9, 1990, he opted for the infantry as he felt he could serve the motherland better here. Captain Rohit was to get married on November 27, 1995 and was expected to proceed on leave from November 15. But fate had other plans in store for him. On the fateful night of November 10 and 11, he raided the hideouts of Afghan militants along with his contingent. During the encounter he laid down his life fighting courageously . In order to commemorate his martyrdom, his parents have constituted the Shaheed Capt Rohit Charitable Trust which extends financial assistance to poor and deserving students by way of stipends and scholarships. A memorial has also been raised in his memory at Jalauli village, which has now been handed over to the district administration. |
