Nominations for student body poll filed
Chandigarh, September 21 An injured Gurparvez Singh Sandhu “Shellay”, who had been discharged from the hospital to undergo a CT scan, reached the Law Department to file
his nomination papers as the ABVP presidential candidate. He was accompanied by a large number of supporters. Shellay was helped by one of his friends in filling various columns of the papers since his injured right arm made the writing difficult. While SOPU candidate, Ranjit Singh Raju, filed his papers at the Anthropology Department, Rajwinder Singh Lucky of the Panjab University Students’ Union (PUSU) filed his papers at the Law Department. Later, Lucky addressed a rally at the department. After scrutiny, the lists of all candidates were displayed at the various departments for objections. The final list would be displayed tomorrow at the office of the Dean Students’ Welfare. The displaying of lists was delayed as there was no power supply on the campus. When contacted, the Dean Students’ Welfare,
Dr Nirmal Singh, said the lists were to be displayed at respective departments and not at the DSW office today according to the schedule. “We will only get the final lists of the panels. These will reach us by tomorrow,” he added. The DSW added that he was not in a position to extend the campaigning by a day. “Last year we accepted their demand since students’ bodies had got only a week for campaigning. This year they have already got 10 days for the same,” he stated. Meanwhile, gates of the girls’ hostels were closed as campaigning came to an end. Students’ organisations came in processions to these hostels but were not allowed to enter. They carried out their campaigning from outside the hostels before dispersing. The panels of the three parties are as follows: PUSU: president — Rajwinder Singh Lucky; vice-president — Ankita Thakur, general secretary — Gautam Lal; and joint secretary — Abhishekh Puri. SOPU-HSA-NSUI; president — Ranjeet Singh Raju, vice-president — Kanika Chauhan; general secretary — Vikas Rathee; joint secretary — Gurmukh Singh. ABVP-HSA: president — Gurparvez Singh Sandhu ‘Shellay’; vice-president — Abha Gupta; general secretary — Pervesh Kumar and joint secretary — Vikram.

Students of Theatre Dept to boycott poll
Chandigarh, September 21 Twentythree students of the department unanimously decided to boycott the poll, to make themselves heard. For a department that has churned out big names in acting right from Anupam Kher, Kiron Kher, Mita Vashisth, paucity of funds, lack of staff and infrastructure are now plaguing it, taking a toll on the morale of students. “The university should close our department if it cannot provide us with grants. The students’ council also never puts up our case before the university authorities. We are certainly not here to vote for a council which always turn a deaf ear to our demands. None of the parties have thought it fit to include our demands in their manifesto,” they added. Claiming that the parties were more bothered about targeting vote banks rather than addressing issues. “Just because our number is small, these parties think our votes won’t make a difference. We will make them realise that 23 votes is a lot when the margin between winning and losing is slender,” they added. “Our department is placed second after the National School of Drama. We neither have drinking water and nor a canteen. Our stage is broken and, during summers, with only two pedestal fans, practicing becomes practically impossible. Our grants, too, have been reduced over the years,” the students rued. The open air theatre is dotted with overgrown grass, the bushes need immediate pruning and over-grown grass has taken over the open space. The students also grudge the fact that while the council goes about organising cultural shows and inviting singers, the department’s home productions have no takers. “We also want to stage a play but are told that the council will watch it before it is passed for the final round. They are not well-versed to understand art and artistes. How can they sit on judgement? Resentment has been brewing for the past many months. So, boycotting the elections is the only way to make us heard,” a student from Bihar said. Today, for the first time, one of the organisations’ approached them for support though campaigning has been in full swing for nearly a week. This, too, has added to their frustration. “We don’t come last, however small our number. By boycotting these elections, we will have the last laugh. Next time, these very organisations will make sure that we are not taken for granted and things will begin to look up for us as well,” they claim in unison.

Keen contest on cards for Student Council poll
Chandigarh, September 21 To ensure victory, the student bodies have entered into alliances with student unions of respective colleges. A clear picture of the candidates in the race emerged today, as it was the last day of filing nominations. At the GGDSD College, Sector 32, the presidential candidate of the SOPU-NSUI alleged that supporters of PUSU forcibly prevented him from filing his nomination. At Government College, Sector 11, the contest is between the NSUI, Government College Students Union (GCSU) and PUSU. Anurag Dhillon is the presidential candidate of the GCSU, Sandeep Singh is the candidate of the NSUI and ISU from the college. The ABVP is contesting independently from Government College, Sector 46, and DAV College, Sector 10, with Maink Asija and Gurbeer Brar as the presidential candidates, respectively. In other colleges, the ABVP is lending support to college level unions. At the Guru Gobind Singh College for Men, Sector 26, the fight is between the Khalsa College Student Union and the Chandigarh Students Union. At DAV College, Sector 10, the NSUI has fielded Manmohan Singh Jalta as the presidential candidate, which means the contest is between the NSUI and the ABVP. The panel headed by Prerna of the NSUI is at an advantageous position in the Government College for Girls, Sector 42, as the candidate of PUSU could not file the nomination papers. A large number of PUSU supporters from Panjab University reached the spot in support of the girls but in vain. At Government College, Sector 46, the SOPU-NSUI panel, headed by Amanpreet Chatha, is in straight fight with candidates of PUSU and the ABVP. In some of the colleges, the class representatives have been elected unopposed. Meanwhile, SOPU-NSUI candidate prevented from filing nomination at GGDSD College, Sector 32. Leaders of the NSUI today alleged that when their presidential candidate for the college, Sardeep Singh, along with his friends left the university in his Scorpio vehicle, supporters of PUSU chased him and pelted stones at his vehicle. As a result, he got late in filing his nomination as he had to take a longer route to reach the college. A covering candidate filed nomination papers in place of Sardeep Singh.

Jain’s charges baseless, says YC chief
Chandigarh, September 21 President of the Youth Congress, HS Lucky, said that the charges were baseless and that Mr Jain should have thought twice before levelling baseless allegations. “It seems he cannot see beyond the Congress hand in anything and everything. We condemn his statement and hope he will not indulge in petty politics in future,” he said. Local president of NSUI, Nitin Goyal, also joined issue and said that since the accused had not been identified, Mr Jain should not have named the Congress. “It could well be a case of personal rivalry. We condemn the attack on Shellay and want the police to bring the culprits to book at the earliest,” he said. Owing allegiance to the HSA, Chand Singh Madan, also expressed surprise over the fact that at the peak of campaigning, the ABVP presidential candidate had chosen to leave the campus. “There is something fishy. There is absolutely no justification for Sandhu to be driving around the city with his friend when so much was to be done,” he said. Meanwhile, the ABVP condemned the role of other students’ bodies, who instead of raising their voice against the attack, had chosen to call it a “stage-managed” attack.

Alagh for national water resources plan
Mohali, September 21 This was stated by Prof Y.K. Alagh, founder president of the Institute for Development and Communication (IDC), and former Union Minister for Power and Planning, while delivering a lecture on the next stage of water planning in India. Prof Alagh quoted the report of the National Commission on Integrated Water Resources Development, the Planning Commission studies and UN studies done by Mr Krit Parik and him. He said improved canal delivery system, conjunctive use of water and management of aquifers was known to have succeeded. He argued for a national water resources plan with responsibilities worked out at a level of three to five districts and resources provided to back up public — private initiatives since investment in such projects had a very high rate of return. Prof Alagh said private investment in water by farmers was expanding both in India and China. Legal system, new organisational strategies for farmers, community managed system and collateral financing systems of incentives and dis-incentives needed to be replicated and policy priorities laid down to solve emerging conflicts. He said recognition of water rights of users would mean that while large projects would have a role, the transfer of water across river basin would be more limited than earlier thought. Prof Alagh gave examples from the Meckong River Commission and the Ihesau Pemmeula to show how the water rights of farmers could be balanced by equity for resolving disputes. He suggested that in the long run, regions and countries which worked with first principles of a sensible kind tended to succeed in resolving conflicts to their advantage. He also suggested that water strategies and distribution system that emerged from such principles should be implemented only after compensating affected people by providing resources for water resources and designing adjustment programmes to protect their standard of living. Mr K.R. Lakhanpal, Principal Secretary, Irrigation Department, Punjab, who chaired the session, was of the view that there was need for systemising water resources with active participation
of the people. Prof G.S. Bhalla, former member, Planning Commission, said the state should take the responsibility of providing drinking water to every citizen and initiate policies which could moderate the conflicts interests in favour of the poor. Dr Pramod Kumar, Director, IDC, was of the view that there was a need of balancing historical rights with the equity
principle.

Red Cross employee serves 6 years beyond retirement age
Chandigarh, September 21 The employee, Mr S.K. Nazir, has finally been retired from service after he failed to come out with an evidence to prove his age. The retirement order says if Mr Nazir can prove his age within Government norms of employment, his case will be re-considered. The Deputy Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Red Cross, Mr Arun Kumar, confirmed that an FIR had been registered against Mr Nazir and he had been retired from service. Actually the Administration woke up to the reality of this episode by accident. It all started when the Administration decided to merge St John’s ambulance with the Red Cross. Since salaries for employees to both organisations were given by the Government the idea to merge was better co-ordination. Now Mr Nazir was the sole employee of the St John’s ambulance and had been working for years. The Red Cross officials asked Mr Nazir to hand over the record. The entire process took a while. The Red Cross officials went to take over the record and in the records found a copy of an FIR in which the date of birth of Mr Nazir was mentioned as 1940. Alarmed at this, Red Cross officials asked Mr Nazir come with record of his age as the St John’s Ambulance as he was the sole employee and was responsible for maintaining his records. Mr Nazir did not reply. The Administration decided to retire him from service. Today the Red Cross got an FIR registered against Mr Nazir saying it was his responsibility to maintain the records as he was a one-man organisation before the merger with the Red Cross.

Disease, hard cutting turn trees into dead wood
Panchkula, September 21 Sources in the Horticulture wing inform that over 40 per cent of a total of 600 makhan trees (Sapium Sebiferrum) planted by the Horticulture Department on the dividing road of Sectors 5 and 6, road between Sector 7 and 8, and near Majri chowk, are withered over the past two years. There is stunted growth in most of the surviving trees, and barely a few green trees can be seen on these roads, amidst rows of barren stems sticking out ugly heads. It is learnt that these trees were planted in the township almost 25 years ago. Over the years, most of these trees failed to show healthy growth and many of the surviving trees are infested by termites. Officials in the Horticulture Wing of HUDA say that though makhan trees have relatively short life compared to other trees, the death of such large number of trees was primarily because of hard cutting of the tree tops by Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) authorities. “With the high tension and low tension cables passing over the trees, the UHBVN authorities have been hard cutting the trees, instead of pruning them. The irregular cutting of stems invites borers, which later stunts their growth,” say officials. Officials also reason that this particular variety is deciduous (shed their leaves in winter) and remains dry in winters, so they were thinking of replacing these with some evergreen variety. “Termite attack on these trees is also responsible for their withering away. Though we made efforts to save these trees by spraying insecticides, fungicides and adding manure, but to no avail,” says the Superintending Engineer, Horticulture, Mr Jogi Ram. The Horticulture Wing is now replacing the dead trees with Alstonia scholaris and Pilkhan. “Initially, we had planted Alstonia saplings in between two dead makhan trees. Later, we realised that Pilkhan was a better bet as it was better suited to the environment,” says Mr Jogi Ram. It is learnt that almost 300 saplings of alstonia have already been planted between the dead makhan trees, and Pilkhan saplings are now replacing the remaining withered trees. Other than the makhan trees, the 500- odd Kachnar trees planted by the Horticulture wing in Sector 5 are also being replaced because of their slow growth. Officials say that almost 400 Alstonia saplings have replaced the kachnar saplings planted in this sector a few years ago. Officials also inform that during this year, they had set a target of planting 30,000 saplings in the
township, and over 25,000 saplings of Alstonia, Sterculia Alata, champa, bottle palm, ficus panda and ficus benjamina have already been planted in reserved green belts and the newly constructed golf course in Sector 3.
