Megh Raj, son of Attar Singh, of Rajeeha (Muradabad), had reportedly taken a loan of Rs 25,000 from Kavichand a few days ago. According to information, Megh Raj had come to Kavichand’s house with two others and taken him along with his tractor, on the pretext of preparing the field for sowing. When Kavichhand did not return home till late in the evening, his worried family members had looked for him in the area throughout night. His body was found on the road from Chitora and Balwapur next day. He had been shot dead and later his body was mutilated with harrow. The news spread like a wild fire.

Spurned by lover, woman ends life
Ghaziabad, November 19 She wrote a 16-page-long suicide note, consumed lots of whisky and then ended it all. Sonali, second among three daughters of assistant engineer in Muzzafarnagar from a family of Juddari village in Aligarh, had developed relations with a class-fellow, Sachin Talyan in a Ghaziabad’s institute while doing her MBA course. Sachin is son of a GDA engineer in Nehru Nagar. The two had reportedly kept their relations even after passing out from the institute.

Sonali had checked in a room in Ghaziabad’s Shipra Hotel. She tried frantically to contact Sachin. When he did not show up, she wrote a long note, blaming her death on him. After penning the note, she is reported to have ordered for a bottle of liquor, downed a few pegs and hanged herself with her sari. Next day the hotel management called the police and Sonali’s body was then pulled down. It was hanging from the ceiling fan. However, the police have not stirred into action so far.

Cong to win hands down, claims Ballabhgarh MLA
Faridabad, November 19 He said that the ruling INLD government had failed on several fronts and lost the confidence of the people. Talking to mediapersons here today, Mr Beesla, who had decided to support the Congress, said he had to withdraw the support to the INLD government as his supporters felt that the government had been neglecting the interest of the common man and it failed to implement any major development scheme promised before the elections. He said several works worth crores of rupees had been kept pending for the past many months, mainly due to political considerations. Listing some of the works, he said the ambitious project of Chahinsa distributory, the longest lift irrigation canal system in the district, was still incomplete even after spending more than Rs 6 crore on the project. Claiming that the distributory and the canal had broken before it could start functioning. As a result, the project was gathering dust. It is reported that the government had ordered a vigilance enquiry into the alleged ‘bungling’ and ‘diversion’ of funds, but the accused were still to be identified and punished. He said the proposed Congress rally on November 21 would be a success as the people wanted a change in the state. Welcoming the deferment of the delimitation process, he said the people sitting in power, wanted to harm the political interests of their opponents and claimed that had it been done in this manner, it could have sparked widespread agitation.

Sonia opens Dhaula Kuan flyover
New Delhi, November 19 Efforts should also be made to keep the environment clean, she said. ‘’Some hard decisions have to be taken.’’ Pointing out that education, employment and civic amenities were the basic necessities of life, she said whatever planning was to be done should keep the future generation in mind. She also called for giving an admirable leadership to the youths to show them a proper direction. “We should be a source of inspiration for them,” she said. Ms Gandhi said Delhi was not only a centre of political activity, but also a model of growth and development. ‘’The progress on the development front should continue for Delhi to be an example for other states.’’ Recalling the contribution of Mrs Indira Gandhi towards nation building, she said that the late leader worked for the poor and the downtrodden. ‘’This is what makes a leader great.’’ About the flyover, she said it was perhaps the only focal point through which people from various parts of the country and the world passed, as it linked the Ring Road and the airport. It is the biggest signal-free flyover in the Capital and the only one to get ISO certificate for design and quality of construction.

Endless wait for flyover at Badarpur border
Faridabad, November 19 Nobody know when the work on this ‘ambitious’ project, which is still on papers, will get off. Not even the Chief Minister of Haryana is in a position to tell the exact date of the beginning of the construction of this flyover, a prominent demand of the residents of this and nearby areas for past many years. It takes almost 20 to 30 minutes for a motorist to cross the border from either side at the peak hours on any day. The issue of this flyover came up at the ‘fifth’ phase of the ‘Sarkar Apke Dwar’ programme held for the NIT Assembly segment here yesterday, which was chaired by the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala. Mr Chautala said that his government had taken up some of the projects with the Centre, including the construction of the flyover at Badarpur border, which had been cleared. But he could not tell the exact date when the work on this project will begin and complete. He said his government will try to get the work started before the start of the election process in Haryana. Claiming that Haryana had the share of about 60 per cent in the NCR development projects, he announced that the government would also try to get Faridabad linked with the Metro Rail in the second phase itself, instead of the third phase as had been proposed earlier. While the authorities concerned did not tell how much time these projects will take to complete, the residents have been facing numerous problems on account of not having a smooth passage to the Capital and the traffic and pollution hazards as a result thereof. As thousands of residents move to Delhi and other parts of the NCR daily due to work, they have to brave serious traffic congestion in reaching their destination. Besides, as the National Highway No. 2 passes through the town, a large number of vehicles, including those carrying tourists pass from here leading to severe congestion and pollution. According to a local industrialist, the demand of the flyover and widening of the highway had been taken up several years ago, but he said that it was unfortunate that the authorities had not taken this seriously. He said Faridabad being a major industrial hub and having the largest population in the state, badly required an efficient public transport system based on clean fuel and better roads connecting all the NCR towns. It may be recalled that the city is amongst the top 10 most polluted towns of the country and the pollution control authorities blame the traffic for the problem.

No commercial projects for time being: SC
New Delhi, November 19 A Bench comprising Justice Y. K. Sabharwal, Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice S. H. Kapadia issued an interim direction to this effect after Delhi Government counsel Wasim Ahmed Qadari sought six weeks’ time to submit a reply regarding formulation of the parking policy. Senior advocate, Harish Salve, who has been appointed as amicus curiae in the case, told the Court that the NCT Government had not been able to formulate the policy over the years and was time and again seeking adjournment on one pretext or the other. He said that the Court should grant no permission to the city Government for any commercial activity till it was abled to come out with a proper policy decision. Taking note of his contention, the Bench said, “We direct that till further order the Delhi Government would not clear the commercial projects as the aspect of parking policy would be a relevant consideration for the projects.” In another order relating to the problem of heavy vehicles, specially trucks coming from neighbouring states, the Court accepted the recommendation of the Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA) recommendation not to increase the existing strength of three-wheelers playing on the city roads. The Court noted that the Delhi Government has also accepted EPCA’s recommendation. To facilitate smooth passage of trucks on inter-state routes touching Delhi, where only CNG-operated vehicles were allowed, Solicitor General G. E. Vahanvati told the Court. He said the total cost of the express high way project around the Capital to provide smooth passage to trucks and other heavy vehicles from neighbouring states, was estimated to about Rs 12,000 crore. He said communication has already been sent to the neighbouring states to seek their comments on the issue, which will be discussed at Chief Secretary-level meeting on December 2.
