HC strictures on pollution control panel New Delhi, April 10 A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice B. C. Patel and Mr Justice B. D. Ahmed took exception to the reports about some polluting factories which were still running in Rajokri even after closure orders were passed years ago and their electricity connection had been cut in South Delhi. The judges asked the DPCC Chairman to see to it that all such industrial units were closed and submit a status report on the issue within 15 days. The court gave the directions disposing of a PIL filed in 1995 by one Krishan Kumar Yadav highlighting violations of the Air and Water (Pollution) Acts. The DPCC / Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had been silent spectators by not taking adequate action against erring units, the court said, directing the DPCC / CPCB as well as Sub Divisional Magistrate, Patiala House, to take immediate steps in the matter and see that such industries did not function and pollute. |

Schools give HUDA rules the go-by Faridabad, April 10 The schools were allotted plots by the authority after they had submitted affidavits that they would abide by certain HUDA rules. The officials have not issued any circular or notice vis-à-vis the rules so far, according to sources. The Faridabad Abhibhavak Ekta Manch, an organisation of the parents here, got a shock when it found that a letter dropped by it in the office of the HUDA over a month back regarding the reminder of the rules, was still to reach the hands of the administrator and the estate officer. The office-bearers of the Manch were surprised that the authorities concerned showed their ‘ignorance’ of the rules and the steps taken to discipline the erring schools. The Manch, in its letter to HUDA, had reminded it of the rules framed by the department for the schools functioning on the plots allotted by it. In this letter, the Manch had sought time for a meeting with the officials to discuss the rules being flouted by the schools. Mr O.P Sharma, president of the Manch claimed here today that none of the schools had supplied details about the policy adopted by them in the matter of admitting or reserving seats for the poor students and the fee structure as per the HUDA rules, to the office here. He alleged that none of the schools had followed the rule of keeping 20 per cent reservation for the poor and the majority of them had gone for a fee hike in an arbitrary manner. He said that the Manch had also received complaints of some of the schools collecting donations from the parents on one pretext or the other and had not been issuing any receipt. According to the Manch, the majority of the about 75 schools located on the HUDA land had completed the admission process but had not invited the officials on the panel to supervise the admission process. He charged that the schools had been fleecing the parents by charging exorbitant fee and other funds at the time of admission. It says the problem perhaps lies in the system as the officials are frequently transferred. It adds that any new incumbent for the post of the
administrator or the estate officer takes some time to go through the rules and this was enough for the schools to violate the rules. |

Mr Verma also attacked the Sheila Dikshit government for what he said were moves to privatise water. “The government’s responsibility is to provide to the people basic amenities such as water, electricity, roads, health services and education but the Dikshit government wants Delhiites to become puppets in the hands of multinational companies by privatising everything”, he added. |

Sonepat goes waterless again Sonepat, April 10 According to a report, the evening supply of water had been stopped in this part of the city for many days by the PHD without any prior information and announcement. This has forced the residents to fetch water from distant places to meet their requirement. During the last week, the PHD restored the water supply for at least three days and the residents were able to get the water for five minutes only on each day in the evening. The residents described it as a joke with them by the officials of the PHD, who never bothered about the public complaints about the inadequate and erratic supply of water with low pressure. The pressure was so low that one could get half a bucket of water or so during the supply of water in half-an-hour or so. The Federation of All Residents Welfare Association, it may be recalled, has already decided to file a public interest litigation (PIL) in the court of law for seeking a compensation of Rs 30 lakh from the PHD for stoppage of water supply in the evening in the Old Section of the city and the association was engaged in procuring the press clippings in this regard so that these could be produced before the court for confirmation of its allegations. Meanwhile, representatives of various political parties social and voluntary organisations and trade unions have expressed their grave concern over the drinking water crisis in the city and blamed the officials of the PHD for the mess. They also urged Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala to take a serious note of the matter and direct the district authorities to take stern action against those officials of the PHD who are found responsible for the man-made water crisis. They also demanded a high-level probe into the public complaints and suspension of the officials to ensure an independent and impartial probe. |

Kisan
resthouse, a white elephant for farmers! Sonepat, April 10 Despite recovering crores of rupees as market fee from the farmers, there is hardly any provision for their sheltering in the resthouse as it is being used for official proposes by the market committee authorities and the visiting farmers during crop seasons are left at the mercy of the commission agents for their night shelter and many times, they did not have any alternative except to sleep in their tractor-trollies or pneumatic carts during nights on mandi premises. It is recalled that in order to provide sheltering facilities to the farmers visiting in the mandi for selling their produce, a Kisan resthouse was constructed nearly 50 years back and it was inaugurated by the then irrigation and power minister of Punjab, Ch Lehri Singh on September 28, 1954. When inquired about such state of affairs, one of the officers of the local market committee explained that before 1970-71, the farmers used to get every facility of the resthouse for themselves and for their animals. But after introduction of the tractors in the agriculture, the farmers prefer to return to their villages and hardly make any demand for shelter. “We are ready to provide every facility if any farmer wants to make night stay here,” he said. However, the farmers have different opinion to express. Rampal of village Jahri and Raj Singh of Mehlana said that they have been coming to the mandi for the last 30 years to sell their produce. “If our produce is purchased same day, we return to our villages. Otherwise, we totally remain at the mercy of the commission agents and most of the time we stay in the nights under open skies in every season,” they remarked and pointed out the market committee was not bothered about the problems of the farmers. Similarly, Sanjay and Ramphal of village Badwasni remarked that the Kisan resthouse was just for the namesake and even if sometimes it is required by the farmers, the market committee officials show them their way. They also blamed that the market committee officials relax whole day in the resthouse and there is no one to object it. The secretary of the committee, Mr Balbir Sharma, reiterated that the committee was fully aware to redress the grievances of the farmers. He explained that on some occasions the resthouse premises are used for holding meetings and other official work. “In fact, due to speedy revolution of machinery in agriculture and vast improvement in transportation system, most of the farmers prefer to return to their villages in the night,” he said and stated that the committee had no problem in arranging shelters for the farmers whenever it was demanded. |

SEARCH WITHIN Graves are never intended to be beautiful. It reminds us of death and it is still the nightmare rooted deeply in all our pains and sorrows. There is in Geneva, a city in Switzerland, a broad and beautiful cemetery which has green, shady trees, colourful flowers with marble crosses and statues. Yes, it has a charm of its own. At the entrance to the cemetery, there is a bunch of statues converging around a tomb. One is of a dead father. Kneeling in prayer before that is another—that of a girl with a deeply sorrowful face. In the middle position is yet another—that of the risen Christ blessing both with wide open arms. Behind it all is a marble plaque declaring, ‘‘I am the resurrection and the life…’’ ‘Crucifixion and resurrection are two themes central to the Christian faith. Christ rose on the third day as prophesied and appeared to many people subsequently proving that it was not a matter of hallucination, projected as truth by his bunch of disciples. I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly,” Today is Easter. On Easter morning, pious Christians greet each other saying, “The Lord is risen!” This is followed by the response; “He is risen indeed!” The resurrection of Jesus from the grave is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. The empty tomb is unique. The teaching of Christiandom is that Christ is alive and He is coming again. Resurrection is proof that death is not the end of the road for man. So, St Paul could exclaim: “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55) The fear of death haunting man from birth is finally conquered at the Cross. The supreme message of the resurrection is a message of the power of God and that is what the early church preached. There is a power in whom man could put his trust which would never allow evil to finally triumph or man finally perish. In the risen Christ, we see the glory of eternity break through — the power of love is as great as the power of spring to banish winter. As we go through the Biblical account we find the disciples, gathering in an upper room and cowering behind bolted and barricaded doors. Fear is on their faces. Their Master is dead and the situation is one of “irretrievable dejection.” A few weeks later the same group of men are out in the streets and aflame with superhuman confidence. They have a message, which they proclaim fearlessly. They are out to conquer the world. The contrast between the two pictures— one of abject despair and the other full of triumph— can only be explained by one event: Christ is risen. The person of Jesus Himself, His sheer vitality had from the beginning impressed the disciples. “In Him was life,” declared John (John 1:4) At his touch the lepers were cleansed, the blind Crucifixion in a man is intended to end the dominion of self and exaltation of the spirit so that the person takes on the nature of Christ, putting to death, his old sinful nature. We forget so easily that in the spiritual life there must be the darkness of the night before there can be the radiance of the dawn. Before the life of resurrection can be known, there must be the death that ends the dominion of self. It is a serious but a blessed decision, this willingness to say, “I will follow Him no matter what the cost. I will take the cross no matter how it comes!” “If living a good moral life would get us to heaven, then Jesus would have never died on the cross for us. But He did die, because there was and is no other way. He had to pay the price for our sin,” argued Thomas A Kempis, a theologian of the thirteenth century. And then there is only one fitting response to God’s love. As a hymn writer puts it: “Love so amazing, love so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.” M P K Kutty |
