Interview for principal’s post held on FCI premises, DUTA protests New Delhi, March 14 The interview for the post of Principal of College of Vocational Studies was held in the FCI building in Cannaught Place. The Delhi University teachers, who are against this selection, gathered outside the building in the morning and protested against it. According to DUTA president Aditya Narayan Misra, “The appointment for this post was to be discussed in the Academic Council meeting first. . But Vice Chancellor Deepak Nayyar is appointing the principal without discussing the matter in the AC meeting and taking its permission, which is illegal.” He said that the selection committee was chosen on the basis of a so-called notification, which has not yet been discussed and approved by the Academic Council. He said that DUTA has already sent a white paper to the President of India and the Chief Justice of India, urging them to look into the matter and to initiate an inquiry against the VC. He further alleged that the police manhandled the teachers, including the women teachers who were protesting without any commotion. DUTA also opposed holding of selection committee meeting for the post of Principal outside university premises under heavy police arrangement. Misra further said that there was a nexus between the Union Food Minister Sharad Yadav, the FCI bureaucrats and the VC of the university. “Holding of Selection Committee meeting in the FCI building is in itself a manipulation to select the favourite person as a principal. It is also misuse of government machinery and constitutes violation of code of conduct for elections by Sharad Yadav,” he added. DUTA has also convened an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss the further course of action. Misra said that DUTA has already sought an appointment with President APJ Abdul Kalam to apprise about the functioning of the VC. |

MBBS examinee asked to take maths exam New Delhi, March 14 The police have arrested one Vikrant Raghuvanshi, a resident of Nangloi, who was responsible for conducting the exams in Paharganj area. A PCR call was received by the police at around 12.50 pm that some exam was going on in the Ramjas Senior Secondary School, Paharganj, and as many as 150 persons had gathered for the same. When the police reached the spot, it was found that a west Mumbai-based institute, Education Career Launcher, was conducting the Combined Aptitude Test (CAT) exams. The police said that the problem started when a student appearing for the MBBS test received a mathematics question paper. When the student objected and asked for the biology question paper, the examiner reportedly told the student to take the mathematics test for the MBBS exam. The livid student went out of the examination hall and reported the matter to her parents who then contacted the police. It was subsequently found that the institute had advertised in a leading daily on December 17, 2003, asking applicants to send a draft for Rs 670 for the admission forms. The institute also published the names of 41 examination centres all over the country and of three centres in Delhi, including the Khalsa Senior Secondary School, Dev Nagar, the DAV school and Ramjas Senior Secondary School, Paharganj. The institute also listed the vacancies for MBBS and BDS – 3050 seats; BE and B.Arch – 2000 seats; and MBA and MCA – 900 seats. At the time of submission of the applications, the institute charged Rs 450. |

Cheat infiltrates exam hall as invigilator Ghaziabad, March 14 The duty teacher has “S.K. Mishra, headmaster, Development Area, Rajapur, Ghaziabad,’’ written on it. The letter, purportedly issued by the BEO on March 8, 2004, shows Mishra as headmaster of M.L. Junior High School, Morta. The cheat was trying to establish connections with the headmaster of the school, where his nephew and a few others were to appear for exams. The absconding S.K. Mishra was reportedly teaching in this school. S.K. Mishra is said to have tried to bribe the headmaster, so that his nephew and other students could be provided some “facilities for copying” in the exam hall. But he was shooed off by the headmaster. Next day, he again approached the headmaster with the proposal that he may be shown on duty as an `invigilator’. But he was again shown the door. Finally, S.K. Mishra landed in the school on March 11, armed with a duty letter from the Basic Education Officer and told the headmaster that he should be put on exam duty immediately in the hall as ordered by the basic education officer.
59 cases of copying detected Sonepat: As many as 59 cases of unfair means were

5 lakh fail to make it to Capital’s electoral list New Delhi, March 14 Cumbersome paper work, leading to mistakes in filling of forms by the applicants, is the main reason for keeping this large chunk of potential voters out of the electoral exercise, sources in the Election Commission said. According to the sources, around eight lakh people had applied for inclusion of their names in the voters list and for preparation of electoral I-card. The applications were received in different centres responsible for issuing photo I-cards. The centres were created for the benefit of Delhiites. However, after the scrutiny of these applications, only 3.11 lakh were found valid and added to the figure of 88.48 lakh voters, they said, adding that the rest had been rejected. The Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. Arun Goyal, said that there were several reasons for rejection of the applications and insisted that some of the applicants may not have been genuine voters. “The returning officers have got a detailed verification done on these applications before rejections,” he said. The various reasons behind the rejections included filling of incorrect and incomplete forms, providing wrong information, mismatch of signatures, and the persons not found during physical verification, Mr Goyal said. The electoral body has also rejected contentions of two BJP ministers and Delhi MPs, Jag Mohan and Sahib Singh Verma, about inclusion of bogus voters and double entries in the electoral list. |

1st polio case of this year in Bulandshahr Bulandshahar, March 14 This has put a question mark over the efficacy of the polio campaign. The health authorities are naturally upset over this unsavoury development. It may be added that last year also the majority of polio cases were detected in UP, with Western UP bearing the brunt. Out of 84 polio cases detected in the country in 2003, Uttar Pradesh alone had 72. Likewise, out of 34 cases detected in Meerut, Aligarh and Agra divisions, 7 were confirmed polio cases from Bulandshahar alone. (Incidentally, all these were Muslims). The senior health department officers are losing their sleep over the recent incident of polio.

NCR
SPECIAL New Delhi, March 14 The North-east, North-west and South-west districts are acquiring flab at the rate of 60 per cent per decade. But for some unexplained reason in Central district, where the density of population is 26,261 persons per sq km (in a 25 sq km area), the figures fell by 1.91 per cent or about 500 persons per sq km between 1991 and 2001. North-east, which has an area of 60 sq km, has 29, 395 persons per sq km and has grown at the rate of 62.52 per cent in a decade followed by South-west district with an area of 420 sq km and a density of 4165 persons at 61.20 per cent; North-west has the largest area of 440 sq km (comprising Outer Delhi of yore) and the population has grown at the rate of 60.12 per cent; in South district, which has an area of 250 sq km, the population has grown at the rate of 3021 persons per sq km or 50.27 per cent; West has grown at 47.81 per cent (area 129 sq km); East with an area of 64 sq km has grown at 41.61 per cent. It is only in North district (area 60 sq km) and New Delhi (area 35 sq km) that the growth in population has been comparatively small at 13.30 per cent and 2.47 per cent, respectively. The intention of giving such nauseating statistics is to drive home the fact that people as far away as Kanyakumari and even Bangladesh, not to mention Bihar, UP and Rajasthan, are fleeing villages and heading for the supposed greener commercial pastures of the metropolitan cities and the most attractive of them is the National Capital Territory. Far from being
demagnetised, Delhi is attracting them like flies to a halwai stall. But life in the Capital is no bed of roses as those who set up jhuggis on the Yamuna Pushta will tell you (they are about to be displaced again soon thanks to Mr Jagmohan) and many of them (including women) find that peddling rickshaws is one way of keeping body and soul together, if they have not already found nirwana in drugs as many do in the corridors of Connaught Circus. That most of those who have migrated to Delhi are illiterate is a foregone conclusion because all have headed for the slums; the educated ones have found a niche in Central and New Delhi districts where government offices and housing colonies are concentrated. If the infrastructure in the NCT is not to collapse there is urgent need to make the NCR viable and attractive – a true magnet—along its periphery. |

Dug-up roads take a heavy toll on phone services Faridabad, March 14 Frequent digging up of the lanes and roads has not only disrupted the smooth movement of traffic, but has also left the people high and dry due to the damaged underground phone lines. Faridabad is one of those towns of the region where the privatisation of certain services, including phones has come up quite fast in the past few years. Though the development has been a positive step as it offers the choice of service to the consumers, the past two years have also brought much hardships to the residents on the grounds of digging up of the roads and lanes. Though the companies carrying out such a work claim that they take all the precautions while doing the work, it a fact that the digging work has hit various services like phones, water and sewer lines. In one of the recent such examples, the phone lines of a pocket of Sector-9 here were disrupted for at least two times in 36 hours. The restoration of many lines took more than 24 hours, resulting in a lot of inconvenience. It may be recalled that the area was being dug up for the second time in the past one and a half years for laying the cables of a private telecom company. The work being carried out on the sides of the roads has not only affected the movement of the locals, but has also damaged the greenery around, says Mr S. S. Chaudhary, a resident of Sector- 14 here. He claimed that the greenbelt developed as smooth lawns by many residents has been destroyed due to such work. The residents of a part of Sector-9 were shocked to find that the workers doing the digging work snapped their phone lines. They also damaged the sewerage line and the water supply lines in some of the areas, claimed a resident of this sector. He said the area had been receiving muddy drinking water for the past several days as the supply line could have been damaged in this process. Mr Sanjeev Kumar, a resident of Sector-16-A, said that moving on the roads dug up on the sides was quite risky. One of his friends recently fell in one of the trenches as he could not see it while moving during night.

Sonepat breaks new ground in mushroom Sonepat, March 14 The district has witnessed a six-time increase in the mushroom production and three times in the number of crop trays during the last 12 years. Initially, the mushroom cultivation was brought to the region by a teacher Jagdev Singh of village Bhadana in the mid-eighties. The other farmers gradually started opting for his occupation. According to official reports, its production stood at 300 tonnes with the help of nearly one lakh trays in 1990-91. Taking advantage of its marketing in Delhi and considering it as a gainful employment for the youths, more youths in different villages around Sonepat started taking it as their main occupation of winter. As figured out by the horticulture officer, Dr J P Tomar, the mushroom cultivation got steady increase and its production increased to 430 tonnes in 1993-94, 1150 tonnes in 1997-98, 1371 tonnes in 2000-01, 1650 tonnes in 2001-02 and 1840 tonnes in 2002-03. The number of mushroom trays also increased to three times—from one lakh trays in 1990-91 to more than three lakh trays last year, he said.. The prominent village which has played a key role in promoting mushroom cultivation are Bhadana, Baiiyanpur, Kakroi, Juan, Khanda, Jharonth, Murthal, Akbarpur Barota. The horticulture officer, Dr J P Tomar, claimed that with the inception of new techniques, mushroom cultivation has become possible round the year. Though the horticulture department and the Haryana agro industries corporation claims to provide every assistance to the mushroom growers, but in spite of repeated demand, these agencies have so far failed to provide mushroom processing facilities, alleged the farmers of Bhadana, Kakroi and Baiyanpur villages while talking to the ‘NCR Tribune’. Virender who has been in the occupation for the last five years, said, “We do not get the remunerative prices of our produce during the peak season and we have to sell it in whatever price is offered.” Harkesh of Kakroi demanded that the government should set up a processing unit at the earliest. |
