Haryana officials no more ‘yesmen’ now

Tribune News Service

Faridabad, July 3
The officials of the Haryana Government have been given a free hand and they are no longer just ‘yesmen’ since the present government came into power. Bureaucracy is free from any political pressure and is working in a democratic manner now.

This was claimed by the Finance Minister of the State, Mr Birender Singh, while speaking at a function at Sector- 24 here yesterday.

This was his first visit to the district after becoming a cabinet member of the Hooda Government.

In his address after inauguration of the ‘Help Centre’ of the Department of the Central Excise and Customs on the premises of the Faridabad Small Industries Association (FSIA), Mr Singh took a dig at the previous state government. He said the present government had restored the authority of the officials eroded in the past few years.

Claiming that the working in the previous government had become difficult for the bureaucracy, he said the officials had been feeling demoralised earlier.

Asking the officials to be more responsive, Mr Birender Singh said that the Hooda Government had already clarified its approach and policies and it was the duty of the officers to put in their best.

Admitting that Faridabad which had about two lakh industrial workers and employees and a population of about 10 lakh dependent on the industry, he said there was need to improve the overall environment and basic infrastructure.

Stating that while no ‘goonda’ or mafia culture would be allowed to grow, he said the government would see that areas like Faridabad get more financial assistance from various sources, including under the ‘National Urban Renewal Mission’ (NURM), a scheme launched by the Union government under. The state could get an assistance of about Rs 1,029 crore under the scheme.

However, the authorities will have to fulfill certain conditions which include development of basic infrastructure, he said.

Expressing concern over the growth rate in the agriculture sector in the state, he said it had been reduced to poor one per cent.

Earlier, addressing the industrialists at Sector- 24 here, the Finance Minister claimed that there would be no negative effect of the waiving off of the pending power bills of the farmers to the tune of Rs 1600 crore. Haryana’s annual tax collection of Rs 4,600 crore was more than that of its neighboring state of Punjab, he claimed.

New Delhi, July 3
With the arrest of a pimp and three high-profile call girls, including an Uzbek national, the Crime Branch today claimed to have busted a call girl racket in five-star hotels. The sleuths also claimed to have recovered a Toyota Qualis vehicle and four mobile phones from their possession.

The pimp who has been identified as one Rajesh Yadav, used to lure the girls by advertising in leading English national dailies under the garb of massage parlour Marya and Kavyanjali.

Acting on a secret information, the sleuths sent a decoy customer and struck a deal for Rs 20,000 near a popular five-star hotel. After the deal was struck, the sleuths nabbed the three girls along with the pimp.

During interrogation, the Uzbekh national told the sleuths that she has been residing in Delhi on a tourist visa, which expires in December 2005. She also said that about 20-40 per cent of her earnings from the flesh trade would go to the kingpin.

In another case, with the arrest of three call girls and a pimp, the Crime Branch sleuths claimed to have unearthed a prostitution racket being run in a beauty parlour. The sleuths said that the accused identified as one Karim, alias Guddu, used to advertise in popular Hindi newspapers for luring girls.

The sleuths said that the accused earned Rs 75,000 per month from the flesh trade and the girls who were nabbed are in the age group of 19-23.

Tax on bullion may be lowered
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, July 3
With the Delhi Government considering a reduction in the tax rate in view of the lower rates in bullion market in states like Rajasthan and Gujarat where VAT (Value Added Tax) has not been implemented, the tax on bullion in the Capital could come down.

While the sales tax rate in Rajasthan and Gujarat is much lower at .25 per cent, bullion is taxed at one per cent in Delhi.

Delhi Finance Minister A K Walia said that the government has taken up the matter with the chairman of the Empowered Committee on VAT, Ashim Dasgupta, and even discussed the issue with Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram.

“We have conveyed our concerns to the VAT committee chairman and the Finance Minister about bullion trade shifting from the Capital to the non-VAT states,” he said.

Mr Walia said Delhi would take up the issue at the meeting of the Empowered Committee of state finance ministers on VAT, expected to be held in the middle of this month to discuss issues arisen after three months of implementation of the new tax regime in 21 states.

“The committee should check any discrepancies that take place due to the implementation of VAT. We will urge it to take some concrete decision in the matter,” he said.

If a solution is not found at the meeting of the VAT committee, the Delhi Government would be forced to reduce the tax on bullion on its own. Bullion traders complain that since the implementation of VAT, the Capital has lost 70-80 per cent of the trade in gold and silver to other states.

New Delhi, July 3
Thousands of residents of the walled city today took advantage of the weather as well as the new stretch of Metro to descend on the India Gate lawns. The entire area from the Metro station to the India Gate lawns had an air of carnival as families walked down the short distance to enjoy themselves.

Many residents of the area claimed that it was a dual enjoyment for them. First the ride in the Metro and then a picnic at the sprawling lawns glistening green under the monsoon rains.

Clad in their Sunday best, men, women and children said that it had become so easy to come to India Gate now. Just pay Rs 7 and get into the Metro at Chawri Bazar. Within minutes you are there. “No more pushing your way into the crowded DTC buses or paying through your nose to the autorickshaw wallahs,” gushed a resident of the walled city.

The stretch from Kashmere Gate to Central Secretariat was inaugurated yesterday. Since then, it has having a record run of passengers. Metro officials said that today being Sunday, the novelty of the experience had contributed to crowds. Things were likely to stabilise during the week.

Credible accreditation system ‘must’ for making India healthcare destination
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, July 3
If India is to improve its healthcare delivery mechanism and become a preferred healthcare destination, as proclaimed in the National Health Policy, a major prerequisite is the setting up of internationally acceptable and highly credible accreditation system. This was the central theme during the proceedings of the “National Convention for Achieving Excellence in Healthcare in India” held today at Delhi’s Indian Habitat Centre.

Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, inaugurated the one-day convention.

Organized by the Indian Confederation for Healthcare Accreditation, the convention was supported by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and World Health Organization. “Various studies and reports have, in the past, emphasized the necessity of such a system. Even healthcare insurance cannot gain momentum without accreditation. The creation of standardized benchmarks addresses a long-felt need in the Indian healthcare industry, which currently has widely varying standards,” said Dr Akhil Sangal, CEO of the Indian Confederation for Healthcare Accreditation.

Primarily, accreditation is the process of evaluating and recognizing excellence of healthcare delivery for hospitals, integrated service delivery networks and other such systems as well as professional activities. It is a voluntary process of development and education through consultation, participation, ‘professionalisation’ and independent peer review. Unlike certification, accreditation stresses on continuously improving by continually updating, improving and constantly benchmarking with the passable and attainable.

While on the one hand, India’s healthcare professionals and facilities are comparable to those available in the west, on the other, it lacks credibility, which can be built only through accreditation. Once that is in place, India will surely become a favored medical destination among foreigners and NRIs, feel experts.

The convention aimed to create a mechanism to develop a continuously improving, self-regulating, patient-centered healthcare delivery system, in line with worldwide accreditation practices in various national systems of major countries.

“The Indian healthcare industry has reached a stage where such a system of accreditation is vital. The creation of benchmarks through peer-review by professionals is far more credible than externally imposed standards. A credible and transparent accreditation process is of assistance to all stakeholders, including providers, receivers and users, payers and funding agencies, and educators and regulators,” Dr Sangal said.

According to Dr Rajan Madhok, Medical Director, South Manchester Primary Care Trust & Withington Community Hospital, Manchester, the UK, “Ensuring good quality health care is not an option, it is an absolute must. India needs a comprehensive system for achieving excellence in health care. Different countries are at different stages in their quest.”

Cineplexes sound the death-knell for old cinema halls
Tribune News Service

Faridabad, July 3
With the opening of multiplexes having the state-of-the-art cinema halls, the cinegoers in the city have a dual choice. Anyone who wishes to enjoy a movie in a hall has now to choose between a swanky, ultramodern cineplex and the dingy old cinema halls.

Faridabad, the biggest urban centre in the state may be behind its neighboring city of Gurgaon in the upcoming mall culture, but the public here have changed their habits due to the launch of modern cineplexes, said Sharad, a resident of Sector-9 here.

He added though the tickets of these cineplexes have been a bit high for a middle class family, the complexes provide a pleasant option to those who hate going to the old halls.

He said now he and his family have been regular to the cineplexes, where cinema watching has been a completely different experience.

It may be recalled that two multiplexes or malls have already been functioning here with about five cineplexes, having the capacity of about 200 each. At least eight other multiplexes are under construction and each would be having around three cineplexes.

According to Saurabh Duggal, a resident of Sector– 16 A here, opening of new multiplexes with ultramodern cineplex is a welcome development as the residents would have a choice. Moreover, it signalled an end to the era of traditional halls, where the customer had no facility worth its name.

He claimed that people from respected families have stopped going to these halls as the hall owners have failed to change and provide facilities despite the threat posed by the ‘mall culture’.

Families, especially girls feel safe in the cineplexes, besides they are air-conditioned, a big difference between the old and new halls, he said.

However, social activist and Municipal Corporator, Mr Hawa Singh Rathi believes that the wave of multiplex and cineplexes has sounded the death-knell for the old cinema halls.

Successor passed order on land, says suspended SDM
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, July 3
An SDM, who was suspended for allegedly giving permission to level a plot of forest land in South Delhi worth crores for commercial use, has claimed that the order was passed only after he quit the post. Bajrang Lal, former SDM of Hauz Khas, had allegedly given the order to level the land at Ladho Sarai. However, an inquiry by the Special Task Force of Delhi Police said that while the owners were “levelling these pieces of land on the pretext of growing crops, the intention seems to be that they are developing this piece of land for some commercial purposes in the future.”

After the order, the plot which had been covered with trees and rocks was cleared, and Lal suspended subsequently. However, he has claimed that he had been transferred to the Employment Directorate as Employment Officer on July 27, 2004, a few days before the controversial order was passed.

“It was my successor who gave permission to the owners of the land Amir Chand Singhla and Manoj Kataria to level the land. The permission was given on August 6, 2004, and three months’ time was given to carry out the work,” Lal, a DANICS official said.

Member of Parliament and senior advocate R K Anand has also approached Delhi Lt-Governor B L Joshi in this regard and requested that the suspension order of Lal be revoked.

Slum children steal the show

Tribune News Service

New Delhi, July 3
It was indeed a new dawn for the slum children as well as the people of East Delhi last week when five-year-olds from the Okhla slum colony presented a dance choreography, “Ek Nai Subah” under the auspices of the Sahitya Kala Parishad.

What added to the charm of the evening was that the show was being held at the recently inaugurated Poorva Sanskrit Kendra, a cultural centre constructed by the Delhi Government for the benefit of the residents of sprawling East Delhi as part of its Greeshmkaleen Bal Mahotsav.

The performance, which enthralled the audience, was the result of month-long efforts during the summer workshop at the Creativity School for Slum Children at the Okhla slums. Over 450 slum children, between the ages of four and 17, were taught, painting, dancing, vocal and instrumental music, sculpture, arts and crafts during the workshop.

The unique experimental workshop was conducted at the initiative of Acharaya Ranjeet, the creative director of the school who has been actively involved in persuading artists, maestros and other involved in creative fields to lobby for introducing creativity as a subject in the mainstream education system.

Incidentally, the school is preparing a model which would be presented before the government subsequently. Acharaya Ranjeet firmly believes that adoption of such a model would help “making education child interest driven at the very primary level”. It would also help in making education a more meaningful and enjoyable activity.

That the workshop was a success could be gauged from the enthusiasm and expertise of the performers, many of whom had perhaps seen the stage for the very first time in their lives. So impressed was Ms Mohini Mathur, an eminent theatre personality of the Capital, who was specially invited to grace the occasion that she commented, “You don’t have to evaluate these children on technical points for the dancing. I am personally most impressed by the confidence that these five-year-olds have displayed in their first stage expedition.”

Creativity School for Slum Children functions out of an MCD Slum Department allotted Basti Vikas Kendra at Indira Vihar Kalyan Camp in Okhla which has a population of more than 50,000 mostly consisting of migrant labourers.

Talent hunt show

The city last week also witnessed the grand finale of a talent hunt show jointly organised by Sur Aradhana, a local social cultural organisation and Sanoni, an insurance company of the Capital. Some of the well-known names in the film entertainment industry like Bali Brahm Bhatt, Punjabi pop singer, Ashok Masti, dancer Deepa Chari and singers Poonam Talwar and Neha were among the judges for the two categories of competition—singing and dancing.

What was interesting was the fact that the talent hunt was open to all and there was no entry fee. A fun evening which had Mr Ram Das Apte and Rani Sahiba Pratibha Singh as special guests. Sanjeev Gar, the CEO of Sanoni later assured all help to the winners to make it big in the entertainment field.

Adventures of Don Quixote

The exhibition is on till July 6 and it narrates through the most memorable milestones of the duo from the famous book about them.

Pankaj Mohan’s oeuvre on show

From July 2 to 12, Drishti here is showcasing the paintings of artist Pankaj Mohan Aggarwal. Aggarwal’ paintings reflect his vision which he claims he encounters when he is in deep meditation. The visions, which have both form and colour, are then translated onto canvas.

Abstracts of Madhuri P Badhuri
