DU teachers caned on South campus New Delhi, March 5 The teachers were protesting against the selection committee, which was holding an interview for the post of Principal of College of Vocational Studies in the Arts Faculty. According to the protesting teachers, the principal can be selected only after the matter is taken up in the Academic Council and its approval is secured. The teachers alleged that the matter was not taken up in the AC meeting and the Vice Chancellor of the Delhi University, Prof. Deepak Nayyar, was making an arbitrary selection. According to Mr Ashok Kumar Singh, the DUTA vice president, “This matter was to be taken up in the AC meeting, but it was not done. Without this, the selection can not be done.’’ He claimed that 12 teachers had been injured in the police lathi-charge during the protest. “We 200 teachers were opposing the VC’s act and the police have confined us on the premises,” he added. Dr. Tripta Bai of Hindu College, Dr Veena Agarwal of Khalsa College and Aditya Narayan Misra were among the teachers injured in the lathi-charge. According to the DUTA president, Mr Aditya Narayan Misra, “Some teachers, including me, were injured when the police hit the teachers with bamboo sticks.” He said that the Vice Chancellor had ordered an interview for the post of principal of the aforesaid college without discussing the matter in the Academic Council meeting. The VC had given a false declaration that the matter had been passed in the AC meeting, he claimed. The teachers also alleged that it was the first time the police and RAF had stopped the teachers from entering the Arts Faculty. Mr Misra said that they had also prevented
the selection committee member, Prof. Mithlesh Kaul, and the candidates
who had come for the interview from entering the Arts Faculty.  |

Abducted Delhi builder rescued Noida: A Delhi builder, who had come to the city to buy a plot of land, was abducted by half a dozen criminals. They also took away his Ceilo car. The daylight abduction sent the Noida and Delhi police into a tizzy. However, the police were able to free the builder from his tormentors and also arrested the kidnappers. According to SP City Anant Dev, Zaffar Ali, a resident of K-50, Batala House, Delhi, had wanted to look up a plot near Raipur village on the expressway under Kasna police station area. While the builder was still in the village, about half a dozen criminals descended at the site, hustled Zaffar Ali into his Ceilo car and whisked him to Greater Noida. Alam, a worker on the plot, informed Ali’s family in Delhi. Zaffar’s son Salim informed the Delhi police about the incident, which in turn informed the Noida police about the abduction. Immediately Dy SP Sewa Ram Yadav, along with SO SP Singh, SIs S.K. Dixit and Anurag Gautam, and their team started hunting for the miscreants. By now, the Greater Noida police, who had also joined the hunt, learnt that Zaffar Ali was being held captive in village Rampur under Kasna police station, the SP City said. When the police parties raided the village, the kidnappers tried to flee, but were overpowered and apprehended. The builder was rescued and his car was later recovered from Achher village. The SP City said Zaffar Ali
had constructed a house in Greater Noida for which he had procured
building material from a number of people. It is possible he owed some
money to some people who thought of this modus operandi to recover their
dues from him. OC |

Noida Noida, March 5 In view of a large number of complaints by allottees and the stand taken by the Federation of Noida’s Resident Welfare Associations, Mr Vinod Malhotra, the Chief Executive Officer & Chairman, Noida, has constituted three committees to examine the flats. The experts of Rites have also been included in these committees along with Noida’s own technical personnel, it is learnt. The committee members have fanned out in different sectors to ascertain the views of the residents/allottees. The teams have been constituted as per the needs of each zone. Each team will have two Project Engineers in it. Senior project engineers like AK Goel, Vijay Narayan, PH Siddiqui, SP Sharma, AK Gupta and SK Gupta have been inducted in the three teams. The building material used in sectors 71, 62, 82 has already been examined for technical defects. The shortcomings of the material are also being listed. Suggestions from residents and allottees are being sought. The Chairman of the Joint Action Committee, Mr Munna Kumar Sharma, has meanwhile reiterated that the quality of the flats should be the basis of any price hike. Without such a yardstick, the prices cannot be fixed judiciously. He said there was no doubt that sub-standard building material had been used in the construction of flats, most of which have developed leaks and were prone to dampness. The plaster was peeling off in all the flats while the floorings had not been cast properly. The Noida Authority would have to spend a lot of money to bring these flats to an acceptable level, Mr Sharma said. The roads and parks in the LIG flats in different sectors were also not of uniform size. The prices of the flats, however, have been kept uniform. Mr Sharma said one team, which had visited sector-71 on
Wednesday, was shocked to see the pitiable condition of the flats. The
Joint Action Committee expects the Noida Authority to finally fix the
prices of the flats by taking into account the cost of land, the
construction cost, the interest as well as the quality of construction
of the houses to be allotted. |

A murder a week was Faridabad’s norm in Faridabad, March 5 According to available information, at least nine cases of murder have been registered in the district in the past 63 days. The latest such incident was reported on Wednesday when the police recovered the body of a 35-year-old man from Shiv Durga Vihar of Surajkund locality here. It is stated that the victim, identified as Kishore Kumar, an employee of a company in Delhi and a resident of Shiv Durga Vihar, had left for work on Tuesday morning, but failed to return home in the night. His body was found in an isolated spot later. It is reported that the victim had been hit on the head and was murdered. A case has been registered. As per record, Kishore was the ninth murder victim since January one in the district. Earlier, a person was allegedly murdered by some residents of Ghori village of Palwal sub-division over a land dispute on February 28. The victim was identified as Karambir, who was attacked with a sharp edged weapon by the accused, one Rohtash, of the same village while he was working in a field. A couple of days earlier, a 42-year-old housewife had been stabbed to death by a youth in sector- 3 of Ballabgarh town, when she was alone in the house. No arrest has been reported so far. According to police sources, at least five cases of murders took place in the district in a period of 20 days. The police had recovered body of a young woman from a canal near Chandhut village on February 22. Her relatives alleged that her in-laws might have killed her and thrown the body into the canal. The woman had got married to a resident of Old Faridabad about 11 months ago. Three murder cases had been reported in the district in January this year. Two cases relating to dowry also need to be singled out in this period. The first incident took place at Saran village when the family of a girl, who was due to be married to a resident of Ferojpur village in the district, reported to the police that the groom’s family had declined to solemnize the marriage as they had failed to honour their dowry demand. The complainant then married the girl to another boy, but on the same date. The second such case was reported from Ballabgarh town when the bride’s family declined to marry the girl to a groom who allegedly demanded a certain brand of motorcycle just before the function. The police arrested the groom and the baraat had to return back empty-handed. While robberies and thefts have been taking place at regular intervals, the incidents of vehicle thefts seem to be no big issue for the police department. The police have failed to crack the murder case of a young fashion designer of Sector- 7 here, whose naked body had been found hanging from a tree in a Sector-31 here on December 6 last. Meanwhile, it is claimed that the police nabbe
about 780 criminals during ‘Operation Alert’ that was launched between
January 22 and February 21 this year in the district. The arrested
persons include proclaimed offenders, bail-jumpers, illicit liquor
smugglers and accused involved in various crimes. |

Govt told to order probe into substandard wheat Sonepat, March 5 In a joint press release, they alleged that the wheat released on the fair price shops for free sale was not only sub-standard but for unfit for human consumption. Similarly, the disposal of wheat purchased by the Food and Supplies Department in 2000, and kept for about four years in the open on the premises of the foodgrains market at Gohana town in the district, has become a racket. The release also added that a high-level inquiry into it is likely to expose the misdeeds of the officials of the department. According to the release, the stock had been damaged by the weather vagaries and rains and given foul smell, even it had become unfit for human consumption. It further alleged that the officials of the department had disposed of the stock in a scandalous manner this year, as the release of the wheat at the fair price shops has become a mystery. It further alleged that the officials of the department have
shown the wheat in the record that it had been released to the fair
price shops for distribution among the ration card holders, but in fact
that it had not been released so far and the owners of the fair price
shops had been asked to prepare the registers for the distribution of
the stock and hand over to the department in a bid to cover the lapses
The depot-holders, it is alleged, had prepared these registers and got
signed from the people on them even the stock had not been released or
distributed among the ration card holders. |

BJP demands CM’s resignation
for New Delhi, March 5 In the DMC Act, women, handicapped and
senior citizens were given rebate up to 30 per cent. The corporation,
which works under the remote controlled administration of the Chief
Minister, has restricted this benefit. He has stated the recommendations
of the Municipal Valuation Committee, in respect of the base unit area
value, once passed cannot be alerted under Section 116 (k) of the act.
These have legal sanctity for three years. Hence, the assurance given by
the Chief Minister is based on misinformation and ultra vires of the
provisions of the act. Mr Gupta criticised the statement of the Chief
Minister issued on the implementation of the Unit Area Scheme in
Property Tax Department. The MCD on the basis that the implementation of
the Unit Area System, which was originally approved in principle by the
BJP, has been done in amateurish and hush-hush way killing the very
spirit of making it property tax payer-friendly. He alleged that
properties, which are big source of property tax, presently have been
left without categorisation by the Municipal Valuation Committee and
these will remain outside the scope of the property tax till the new
committee takes necessary action. Hence, the likely deficit will also be
recovered from the poor public who have been dragged under the tax net
under the Unit Area Method policy. |

Bhagvad Gita: The Tao of salvation Noida, March 5 “India is meant to show spiritual leadership to the world,” said Swami Deva Amrita, vice-chairman of ISKCON, addressing devotees in Sector-55, Noida last evening. A graduate of Yale University in America, Swami Deva Amrita joined this mission some 30 years ago. He is a spiritual teacher who initiates devotees to the philosophy of the Bhagvad Gita and his aim is to “promote the timeless spiritual knowledge of India, as enshrined in the Bhagvad Gita all over the world”. How does he do it? “Through temple worships, chanting Hari Kishna Mahavedeva and teaching Bhagvad Gita.” “We have over 100 whole-time missionary (sanayasis) preaching the Bhagvad Gita and there are millions of devotees the world over,” said Swamiji. “We interact at various levels through books, lectures, Internet, congregations in temples, etc. We use the best technology for the best purpose of spreading the philosophy of Lord Krishna,” said Swamiji. Swami Praghosh Das is the chairman while A.C.Bhagwati Vidanta Swami Prabhu was the founder of the institution. Yale University has produced most of the US Presidents, including George Bush, Bill Clinton. Most of the devotees are in India and Russia, though we have our temples and devotees in almost all the countries from the Arctic to Antarctica in Asia, Europe, the US and Latin America, he said. The Mayor of the Moscow has allotted 3 hectare in the heart of the city for building Hare Krishna temple, which is valued at US$12 million. This land has been given to us free in a unique gesture by Russian government, although orthodox Protestant church is very dominating there, Swamiji added. Swamiji said he visits various countries for lectures. He annually visits India to lecture to IIT students in India. Do the people in developed countries of the west care for the message of spiritualism? People want to hear Lord Krishna’s genuine message which is spiritual heritage of India. “You see, once you see Mercedes, you
won’t like to drive Marutis,” Swamiji made his point clear. |

Stamp to honour K L Saigal demanded New Delhi, March 5 The SSS is dedicated to perpetuating the memory of legendary singer-actor, Kundan Lal Saigal. The SSS organised a festival of Kundan Lal Saigal’s films yesterday at Habitat Centre. The festival was inaugurated by Parminder Chopra, son of daughter of K.L. Saigal. There was a rare display of Kundan Lal Saigal’s harmonium and ghazals penned by Saigal in his own handwriting in Urdu. One of his ghazals carries the mark of Amroha Railway Station near Moradabad in UP. It seems that it was penned by him when he was working as a timekeeper in the Indian Railways while posted at Moradabad. Mr Dinesh Sharma who founded the SSS 32 years ago said that Saigal was the first superstar of Indian cinema. The function was followed by the screening of the film ‘Devdas’.
The film is based on Sarat Chander Chattopadhya’s novel Devdas and was
produced in 1935 by B.N. Sircar of New Theatres in Kolkata. Other films
which will be screened during the festival are Dushman on March 9 and
Tansen on March 10 at 7 pm at Habitat Centre. |

The Central Government pensioners have been feeling
disheartened as some of the vital recommendations made by the Fifth
Central Pay Commission have been gathering dust notwithstanding the fact
that in its resolution dated September 30, 1997 issued by the Ministry
of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Department of Pension and
Pensioners Welfare), the work done by the Commission was deeply
appreciated. The Central
Government’s plea that the delay in acceptance of some of the
recommendations is mainly due to consultation with the states sounds
hollow. There is neither a logic nor a valid justification in
withholding the acceptance of the recommendations relating to the
extension of CS (MA) Rules to the Central government pensioners and
restoration of commuted portion of pension after 12 years as against 15
years at present. Under the existing span of 15 years, the rate of
simple interest being charged by the government on repayment of commuted
value is as high as 44 per cent in the present scenario of payment of
all-time lowest rate of interest on pensioners’ savings. The Minister
of Finance and the Minister of Health and Family Welfare have been urged
in our letters to take a realistic view of these issues. It is
noteworthy that no such hue and cry was ever made in the implementation
of the reports of the previous four Central Pay Commissions. It is not
clear as to how the Fifth Central Pay Commission is being alleged to
have upset the financial position of the Centre and the states who have
voluntarily extended the application of the Fifth Central Pay Commission
to their employees/pensioners. The Central Government may perhaps see
the reason, though belatedly, to do justice to its pensioners. S K

Mansarovar Colony thirsts for water Mansarovar Colony,
Rohtak, is located in the vicinity of the city’s main water works.
Notwithstanding this strategic advantage, hundreds of its residents have
been experiencing acute scarcity of drinking water due to the
callousness of the Public Health Department. The area from Mansarovar
Public School to Nand Mandir of this colony is worst hit because of
certain inherent defects in its system of water supply. About 50 years
ago, the residents of the colony were provided with drinking water by
laying about 40-ft-long 3” C.I. pipe. After some years, the pipe was
extended by another 60 ft C.I. pipe and terminated near Mansarovar
Public School. Since the colony was quite developed, there was a demand
for proper provision for drinking water. Those who could afford, got a
water connection from the aforesaid terminus, creating a mess at the
junction and practical problems in maintenance. Besides, most of the
residents had to be content without proper drinking water. They depended
on hand-pumps. It was in 1992, a PVC pipe, measuring about 650 ft, was
laid connecting it with the point at Mansarovar Public School. Though
the pipe was extended from time to time to cover more area, the initial
supply point from the main was not reviewed so as to increase the intake
of the pipes thus extended and the result: virtually no water pressure
and the arrangement proved only a formality. Since then, we have been
going from pillar to post, urging the PHD to provide an appropriate Tee
connection with the nearby capable main to increase the supply of water
in the serving pipe, but in vain. We have also taken up our complaint in
the meetings of District Public Relations and Grievances Committee held
on January 11, 23rd May and 12th June 2000 and were promised a
satisfactory review. However, the pipe has been extended to Jhang
Colony and even the existing furrels have been disconnected from the
main. Only an orthodox Tee-like clamp was provided. This has resulted in
a mess, with almost zero-water pressure in the area beyond Mansarovar
Public School. We have raised this issue to the superintending engineer
as well as the executive engineer’s personal notice, vide our letter No.
RWA/DC/2004 dated 18.1.2004. We have been urging the PHD to ensure
adequate water supply by proper intake arrangements from the capable
main and also to replace the existing unserviceable PVC pipe of about
650 ft by 3” C.I. pipe in the area to avoid frequent repairs,
contamination of water and risk to the buildings in this urban
locality. We hope that the public health department will stop
dilly-dallying tactics and provide enough drinking water to Mansarovar
Colony. H L PAWAN Crimes against women The increase in
burning cases among women and their harassment for bringing less dowry,
compelled the Government of India to amend the laws to empower
women. The Section 498A IPC and other according to the nature of cases
are said to have sufficient powers to overcome crimes against
women. But all these reforms/laws at the hands of the investigating
officers and inspectors of the Women Cells have not strengthened the
hands of women. The police mindset has not changed. The investigating
offices dilute the first information reports and the inspectors at the
women cells bargain with the boys’ family and foist an agreement on the
girl’s family. Where the agreement is not thrust upon, the making of a
weak case in the initial stages, disempower women during the court
proceedings. Therefore women who constitute more than 50 per cent of
India’s population continue to suffer. The need is not only to empower
women but also to create employment opportunities so that the fair sex
may lead an honourable life. Their absolute dependence on men makes
their life miserable. Even when the girls earn a fortune, their
happiness depends on the family set-up they get into after their
marriage. It is pertinent to mention the experience of an eminent
doctor here. The doctor had married off his well-qualified daughter,
having a lucrative position in a leading English daily. When I asked how
his daughter had been, he said that he had gambled and spent almost all
that he had. After a year or so, I again inquired about his daughter’s
well-being. This time he heaved a sigh of relief and said that God be
thanked for the happiness of his daughter. UJJAL PAL SINGH |
