PU STUDENT COUNCIL VOTE TODAY
Chandigarh, September 23 While activists of students’ bodies identified a Sumo carrying weapons, the alleged connivance of the police in allowing the culprits involved in the smuggling in of weapons and “kidnapping” of hostelers came under fire. To protest against this, the activists of the SOPU-NSUI-HSA-USSA-HPSA alliance blocked traffic on the Sectors 14-15 road for which they were cane-charged by the police. The president of the Students’ Organisation Of Panjab University (SOPU), Ranjit Singh Raju, was picked up for rioting and let off after another protest was staged at the Vice-Chancellor’s office on the campus by his supporters. The day ended with the police making a DDR entry against PUSU president as demanded by SOPU. It also saw the coming together of two rival parties, SOPU and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), on the issue. Trouble started from Hostel No. 7 on the campus when residents complained to activists of SOPU and those of ABVP that some of their friends, hostelers of the first year of Chemical Engineer, had gone “missing”. While some claimed that activists of Panjab University Students’ Union (PUSU) had lured them in the name of showing a matinee show, others alleged they had been kidnapped by PUSU supporters. Dalvir Singh Goldy, a hosteler, said that the “missing” students were not responding to repeated mobile calls and that their identity cards had been taken away from them to ensure they could not cast their vote in tomorrow’s election. As soon as this news was flashed to the president of SOPU, Ranjit Singh Raju, he reached the spot and began making queries about the “whereabouts of the missing hostellers” and checking cars parked outside the hostel. “A Sumo was stationed outside the hostel. Our activists approached the driver and asked him to open the backdoor. Inside, we found stickers of PUSU and a bag full of swords and baseball bats. Since the police had arrived by then, we handed over the driver and two other outsiders to them. While they took the car into their custody and
arrested the driver, the boys were let off by the police,” Raju claimed. Irked by this behaviour of the police, the students, primarily activists of SOPU, marched to Gate No. 2, towards Sector 15, and blocked traffic to lodge their protest. They held up traffic for nearly half an hour during which the gates of the university were closed and a large number of police personnel were called in. Shortly afterwards, the presidential candidate of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Gurparvez Singh Sandhu, also arrived on the scene, accompanied by a handful supporters. Together, SOPU and its alliance partners along with activists of the ABVP raised slogans against the police. They alleged that the Sumo had been hired by the PUSU presidential candidate, Rajwinder Singh Lucky, to rig tomorrow’s voting for the council seats. They claimed that while the driver had admitted to the same, he had also disclosed that this was his fifth round to the campus for ferrying students. On the other hand, Lucky said this was only an attempt of frustrated elements and candidates to malign him. Finally, DSP, Mr SC Sagar, reached the spot and listened to the grouse of the students against the police. He explained to them that the driver had been arrested and the Sumo in question, impounded. Meanwhile, Sandhu and his supporters made their exit. While Mr Sagar attempted to reason with the students, they were unwilling to clear the road till a police case was registered against Lucky and the Sumo and driver produced before them. Agitated with this “unreasonable” demand of the students, Mr Sagar ordered his men to get the road cleared. Almost immediately, the police personnel, armed with batons, swung into action and dispersed the students, hitting whoever they could lay their hands on. While most students slipped, SOPU president, Raju, was caught by the police after he tripped while trying to run away. He was immediately whisked away along with SOPU general secretary, Vikas Rathee, to the Sector 11 police station. With this, while the police managed to resume the flow of traffic on the road dividing Sectors 14 and 15, the activists shifted their protest to the Vice-Chancellor’s office. Even more angry, they demanded release of SOPU president and demanded an inquiry into the lapse on the part of the police, enabling the culprits to escape. They also sought registration of a case against PUSU president, Lucky, claiming the Sumo impounded by them belonged to Lucky’s brother-in-law. The Dean University Instruction, Prof S.K. Sharma, spoke to the students and assured them that their grievances against the police would be addressed. He called in the Dean Student Welfare, Prof Nirmal Singh, and in the presence of the police, it was decided that Raju would be released. A DDR was also registered against Lucky at the Sector 11 police station after which SOPU and its allies and the ABVP called off the protest. However, the mystery of the “missing” boys continues. Raju claimed that the mobiles of these students were still switched off and the arrested driver had no clue about their whereabouts since he was new in the city. The police rounded up Naresh Kumar, resident of Balachaur, driver of TATA Sumo jeep (PB-12-F-2412) under Sections 107 and 151 of the CrPC for a breach of the peace in Sector11, police station. Two swords and two sticks were also recovered from his jeep. The police also confirmed that the warden of Hostel No. 7 has given them in writing that the hostelers had gone to their homes and were not missing as being alleged by SOPU and the ABVP. |

NSUI-ISU tent burnt, buntings pulled
down
Chandigarh, September 23 The partially burnt tent was noticed this morning, when the supporters reached the college to chalk out their programme of door-to-door campaign. “It appeared that someone had played mischief with an intention to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in the college”, said Sandeep, presidential candidate of the NSUI-ISU alliance. The attempt to burn the tent was suspected to be made when nobody was present in the college in the wee hours. The college authorities feel that a burning cigarette butt thrown near the tent could have caused the fire. However, the students say when they left the college premises last evening, the tent was intact. Sandeep said he would depute his supporters to ensure that no mischief was played before the election. The principal, Prof Balwinder Singh, said regular raids were being conducted in the college to prevent entry of any unwanted guests. The policemen present at the college gate were, however, not questioning outsiders to verify their identity. A number of outsiders were found moving around in support of their friends. In wake of the yesterday’s assault on Harpreet Singh, a SOPU candidate from GGDSD College, Sector 32, various student bodies apprehend that election related violence could erupt tomorrow as a number of outsiders from Haryana and Punjab are camping in the city to support their friends. At GGDSD College, questioning of the students was done for over an hour but later on the outsiders mingled with college students. Meanwhile, various student bodies today intensified their door-to-door campaign. After covering different sectors in the city, the student leaders campaigned in Kharar, Kurali, Panchkula, Mohali and Mani Majra. In violation of the election code, buntings and posters were displayed at public places in different colleges. |

Open house at PU
Chandigarh, September 23 In an event that saw a lot of colour, waving of flags and propping up of banners, the debate boiled down to pulling the other one down rather than putting forth the organisation’s programme for the year. The candidate of the Students’ Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU), Ranjit Singh Raju, spoke first. Seeking one chance from the students to prove his commitment to their concerns, he said the other parties had failed to deliver after being elected to the council though they had made tall promises at the time of election. “Security for girls on the campus is our priority. During the last session, I have taken up issues pertaining to the engineering departments, the hostels, sports. You name it and we will produce evidence. This election, my work should be my reward. Our alliance partners are the five pillars of democracy and they will give us strength. We have united the entire region under one head,” he claimed. An injured Gurparvez Singh Sandhu of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) claimed that SOPU and PUSU had a track record of indulging in violence. Refuting claims that the attack on him was stage-managed, he said,”It is my open challenge to all candidates to break a bottle on their head and I will withdraw from the contest,” he said. Referring to the SOPU alliance as “khichdi”, he announced, “This time, they recognised us as a force. I have paid a price for my popularity with my blood. They attacked me to prevent me from filing my nomination papers. Their purpose lies defeated. We will make the university a violence-free zone. Besides, I have been there for the students whenever they need me.” Panjab University Students’ Union candidate Rajwinder Singh Lucky, spoke last. He asked the other parties where they were all through the year. “They surface a month before elections and vanish a month later. Our agenda is the students’ agenda. We have stood for students’ causes since 1977 and continue to do so. Showing strength by hiring students won’t pay. They will need identity cards to cast a vote. They can read the writing on the wall and are frustrated because our list of achievements is endless,” he said. One spokesperson and one girl from each of the three parties was given an opportunity to speak. Later, one question each was asked from the candidates by the audience. Before they could answer, most of the students had left. Earlier, the three students’ organisations came to the area earmarked for the open house in a colourful procession. Activists of each party had stickers pasted all over their clothes. While activists of PUSU lifted Lucky on their shoulders till he reached the stage, Raju came supporting a green turban and Sandhu was brought in a jeep to the venue. A lot of poetry loaded with Punjabi accent, the Haryanavi Hindi provided light moments during the debate.

SAD leader Kang declared PO
Mohali, September 23 While disposing of an application filed by the accused for dropping of proclamation proceedings under Section 82 of the CrPC initiated against Kang, his wife and father, the Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Mr Ranjan Khullar, had passed two separate orders to this effect. The copies of the orders were sent to Roopnagar Senior Superintendent of Police to register the names of the accused in the register of proclaimed offenders. “The conditions of Section 82, CrPC, have been fulfilled as per the report of the police and the court had published written proclamation. Even after 30 days have elapsed, the accused have not yet appeared,” observed Mr Khullar in his order. The court orders stated that in the interest of justice, the case was today called several times since the morning, but the accused had not appeared. Therefore, they were ordered to be declared proclaimed offenders. Seeking dropping of proclamation proceedings against the accused while attributing the proceedings against them to political vendetta as Kang was a close aide of former Punjab Chief Minister and SAD President Parkash Singh Badal and his Rajya Sabha MP-son, Sukhbir Badal, the defence counsel Anil Kaushik, in separate applications moved last month, had submitted that Kang had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking entrustment of investigations in the case to CBI or any other independent investigating agency of any state other than Punjab. Opposing the applications while arguing that the accused were evading arrest even after the repeated issuance of non-bailable warrants of arrest and proclamation against them, the police, however, averred that their arrests had not been stayed by any high court or the Supreme Court. The police last month, presented challan against 17 persons in a Kharar court in connection with the case. Kang, his wife, father, SAD state vice-president Rajbir Singh Padiala, his brother Tejbir Singh, both residents of Padiala village near Kharar, former Kharar Market Committee chairman Naagar Singh of Dharak village near Kharar, Amarjeet Singh of Padiala village, Sajjan Singh alias Bawa of Chhota Samana in Morinda, Tevinder Singh of Kurali, Jugraj Singh alias Raju of Mankheri village in Morinda, Harjit Singh alias Jeet of Khanpur village in Kharar, Harsimran Singh alias Binny of Kharar, Kulbir Singh of Jhampur village in Kharar, Gurjit Singh, Ravinder Singh, both of Amritsar, Sewa Singh of Sill village in Kharar and Satinder Singh Gill of Sector 69, Mohali, were among the 17 persons, against whom the challan had been presented. The remaining 14 challaned persons, except the Kangs, have already been arrested and have been in judicial custody.

Wedding season brings great rush at beauty parlours
Chandigarh, September 23 “We have been booked till the end of January next year”, says Ms Harveen Kathuria who manages a beauty parlour in Chandigarh’s new upmarket address along Madhya Marg in Sector 8. “The bookings began in August, tapered off towards the middle of September and will pickup again from the middle of October after navratras, shradh and the festivals of Dasehra and Divali. They are expected to continue till January next year”. “We have received bookings not only from the nearby towns of Ambala, Yamunanagar and Patiala but also from Shimla and Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Hisar and Pathankot”, says Ms Babita Soni who heads wellknown beauty clinic in the city. “Some of the girls who belong to other cities but are getting married in Chandigarh have arranged to come down to Chandigarh early in the morning of their wedding day to be ready for the big event in the evening”. “Everyone appears to have become fully aware of the need to look their best, and more importantly they do not mind spending a tidy some for this purpose”, points out Ms Ritu Colentine, who set up a beauty parlour in Chandigarh last year and has opened a branch in Panchkula this year. She is now planning to set up a third one at Mohali later this year or early next year. Not only the bridal make-up packages but also pre-bridal make-up packages have caught on in a big way. “The pre-bridal make up package starts up to two months before the wedding. These include overall weight reduction, spot reduction and figure correction, toning up massages, head to toe beauty treatment, including manicure, pedicure and full body massage, besides beauty counselling, says Ms Neelu Grewal, who runs one of the oldest beauty clinics in the city. At some of the beauty parlours, these packages cost between Rs 5000 and Rs 15, 000. One parlour is offering a gold facial package. A gold facial costs Rs 2000 per session. The whole package costs upwards of Rs 50, 000! Incidentally, almost every bride wants to try a gold facial at least once. “The days of the loud makeup are gone”, says Ms Anju Khanna, a beautician of repute. “The trend now is have a natural or copper look with matt finish. The attitude of the parents have also undergone a change. They do not interfere much in the matters of make-up.Even the would-be mothers-in-law have begun to take extra interest to ensure that their brides look the best. “And over the years, mehndi has been replaced by tatoos, veni and gajaras have given way to temporary colours, sparkles, beads and sequins, the traditional wedding-eve “batana” has been replaced by body paint...” One beauty parlour in Panchkula has launched the concept of trial make-up which has become a big hit with the young. Says Ms Rangoli Sodhi, a wellknown beauty therapist: “We put make up on half of the face of the would-be bride to give her a clear idea as to how she will look with or without makeup. These days, young girls are very aggressive and very insistent on the way they want to look. The trial makeup gives them to a chance to finetune their choice”.

Free parking in Sec 34 draws flak
Chandigarh, September 23 The policemen on duty are giving away the tokens meant for the cars to two-wheeler drivers and vice versa. The visitors complain that they are given wrong tokens at the entry points and when they go out from the other point, the policemen demand the token assigned for that particular vehicle. The visitors complain that in the absence of any proper system they face this problem every day. They further said that the organisers were not coming up with any practical solution to this problem. The policemen are on duty till around 10:30 pm. The visitors, who go out late in the night from the market complex, find nobody on duty to collect the tokens. The market complex has restaurants, discotheques and pool parlours which are open late in the night, besides two hospitals, several call centres and medical transcription centres which operate 24 hours. The regular visitors to the institutions do not get any tokens when they come late in the night but when they go out in the morning, the policemen, who come to the duty at around 6:30 am, demand tokens from them. Sanjiv, a resident of Sector 24, who works with a medical transcription company, said during his evening shifts he gets a token but when he goes late in the night after the job, he finds no body to collect the token. During night shifts there was nobody to give the token and he uses the tokens gathered with him earlier and gives the same to the cops in the morning. The SHO of Sector 34 said they have deployed 36 policemen on this job who work in two shifts at six entry points. It is a free service and the lack of manpower was the main reason for this problem. He said he has asked the regular visitors to deposit their tokens with their respective offices from where the police would collect them.
