Probe launched into land transfer by media centre
Gurgaon, August 18 The department has launched on inquiry into the complaint which was forwarded to it by the CBI. The complaint to the CBI was made by a Delhi-based voluntary organisation, Rashtriya Mukti Morcha. The president of the morcha, Mr Ravinder Kumar, confirmed the development. The Senior Town and Country Planning Officer, Gurgaon circle, Mr B.N. Sharma, said he had been asked by his department to submit a report. The CBI had forwarded the complaint to the Director, Town and Country Planning, Haryana, Mr S.S. Dhillon, Mr Dhillon, said he could not immediately recall the case. Mr Mahavir Singh, general secretary of the NMCHBC, however, denied any irregularities. Although the Senior Town Planner said notice had been served on Mr Mahavir Singh to visit his office on September 5, he denied of having received any such communication from the department. The complaint is that the NMC was floated as a charitable society under the Societies Registration Act,1860. It purchased about 21 acres in Gurgaon. Later, the NMCHBC was constituted and registered under the Cooperative Societies Act, 1984 (statute of Haryana). The NMC sold and transferred about 16 acres while retaining the remaining institutional land. While the NMC was a charitable society, the NMCHBC is a cooperative society. The then Vice-President of the country, Mr R. Venkataraman, had laid the foundation stone of this institution-cum-residential complex. As per the complaint, nearly two years ago, the NMC transferred the remaining about four acres of the institutional land for a sum of Rs 16 lakh as against the prevailing market price of about Rs 15 crore. As soon as the cooperative society got possession, it carved out 10 houses. |

Solid waste management plant soon
Ambala, August 18 The solid waste management plant project has been hanging fire for quite sometime due to the non-availability of suitable land. Now, land has finally been earmarked at Dabkour village on the Ambala-Naraingarh road. Ambala Cantonment MLA Devender Bansal said the solid waste management plant would go a long way towards improving the hygiene condition in Ambala. “Garbage will be properly cleared and there will not be garbage dumps,” he said. Mr Bansal said the plant was likely to become operational within a year. “The plant will convert the garbage into methane gas. As garbage is going to be utilised, the problem of unhygienic conditions will be removed,” he said. A Municipal Council, Ambala Sadar, official said the setting up of the plant had been delayed as they had not been able to strike a deal for the land. “We had earlier looked at land in Mohri and Naneola. But, our efforts had come to a nought. Later, land was identified at Ismailpur but there too, the land owner hiked the price,” he said. He said now about 20 acres had been earmarked in Dabkaur. He said the land is suitably located and was well-connected. He said the final details were being worked out and once the deal was finalised, the work on setting up the plant would begin.

Protest by gram panchayat
Sonepat, August 18 According to a report, they submitted a memorandum to the SP in this connection and clarified that at least 25 families of the Muslim community had been residing peacefully and without fear in the village since the Partition of the country. The memorandum blamed Mr Munshidin for making an attempt to disturb the peace in the village on casteism. Mr Munshidin is involved in a case with Fariq and he approached the panchayat for solving the case through negotiations. The panchayat also succeeded in solving the case through a compromise. Thereafter Mr Munshidin asked the panchayat to give Rs 10,000 to him for the fee of lawyer. Mr Dharampal and Mr Om Parkash gave Rs 5,000 each to him through the panchayat. When they approached Mr Munshidin to return the money on due date, he refused to give the money to them. Then the sarpanch lodged a complaint with the Mohana police in this connection. The police called him to the police station but he declined and reached the office of the SP and misled him by presenting false and misleading facts. He approached the offices of newspapers and narrated the same story to the mediapersons. Referring to the rape of a daughter of Mr Munshidin, the memorandum stated that all the four accused involved in the case had already convicted and sentenced to 10-year rigorous imprisonment each by the court. The memorandum demanded stern action against Mr Munshidin who was trying to disturb the atmosphere of peace and brotherhood in the village. |

panchayat and decided to keep watch on incidents of illegal mining in the Yamuna riverbed and on forestland. Yesterday, a delegation of the villagers had met the Additional Deputy Commissioner and informed him that they would not tolerate any illegal mining, said sources. |
