Bid to loot
industrialist’s house
Karnal, September 22 The nabbed robbers have been identified as Israr, a permanent resident of Bijnaur, UP, and Hasmat of Darbanga, Bihar. They were presently living in New Delhi. During interrogation, they named the three absconders as Raja, Munna and Nishat, alias Nishar, of Delhi. According to the information, the robbers rang the door bell of the residence of the industrialist, Mr Vijay Gupta, at around 12.30 pm. At that time, he was at his factory in Sector 3, Industrial Area. When his wife, Sunita came to respond the door bell, the robbers told her that they had come from Delhi for painting their house. On suspicion, she asked them to wait outside the house. She came inside and phoned her husband, who along with his cousin, Bijender Gupta, former sarpanch of Baroda village, left for his house. Vijay Gupta said that when they reached home, they saw that the robbers were demanding the keys of an almirah from his wife at pistol point. They at once came out of the house and shouted for help, he added. At this, the robbers fled. While three of them went towards the dividing road between Sectors 6 and 7 in their van, the two others run towards the green belt area. The industrialist said that they kept chasing them. Meanwhile, the police was also informed. Some policemen reached the spot and nabbed the two fleeing robbers from the Rajiv Puram area. |

Train mishap averted
Panipat, September 22 As the two trains remained there on the track for over two hours several trains, including the Chandigarh- New Delhi Shatabdi Express and the Shan-e-Punjab, on the track ran behind the schedule. According to the Railway officials, at 7.30 am the Ekta Express from Bhiwani was stationed at platform number 4 at the local railway station. Minutes later another train was moved on the same track. The driver of the Himalayan Queen noticed the blunder about a few metres away from the station and applied in the emergency brakes and stopped the train just 500 metres away from the stationed train. The New Delhi- Chandigarh enroute Himalayan Queen has a halt at Panipat where coaches of the Ekta Express are attached to it. According to the eyewitnesses, there was an atmosphere of panic on the railway station after the train applied the brakes. Passengers jumped off the trains and ran away. But luckily, say the passengers, nothing adverse happened. Top officials from the Northern Railways New Delhi, rushed to the Panipat station to enquire about the matter. The Deputy General Manager, Northern Railways, Mr V. K. Kaul, reached the station along with a battery of experts. Later talking to The Tribune, Mr Kaul said that the investigations were on to ascertain the reason behind the serious laxity. He informed that platform number 3 was closed for traffic as the team was inspecting the track. However, he declined to comment on the reason behind the laxity. Though he hinted at action against the guilty, he added that it would be done after a through enquiry. He said that efforts would be made to train personnel so that such errors were not repeated. |

Haryana in grip of power crisis
Panchkula, September 22 Sources in Haryana Power Utilities say that a mere 5275 MW of power was available in the Northern Grid today. Haryana was getting only 1124 MW of power from the Northern Grid. In order to ensure that the agricultural consumers in the state got eight hours of power supply for operating tubewells, power restrictions were imposed on the urban and industrial consumers in the state. Officials informed that the power generation at Sanghrauli ( 200 MW), Rihand (500 MW), Unchahar and Bathinda Thermal Plant had been reduced, because of shutting down of some units for maintenance purposes. Other than this, power generation at Nathpa Jakhri in Himachal, too, had been closed down for the past over one week. On the other hand, the demand for power has increased by about 100 lakh units (LUs), during the past two days. Continuous downpour for two days earlier this week had brought down the demand for power to 520 LUs, but with the soaring temperature and high humidity, the power demand has increased again to 700 LUs today. Officials say that power restrictions on the urban, industrial and rural domestic consumers would have to be imposed because of the on going power shortage. |

Petitions seeking
setting aside of tribunal order adjourned Our High Court Correspondent
Chandigarh, September 22 In their petitions, Mr Varinder Bali and other residents of Mohyal Colony, Gurgaon, have questioned the legality of the HUDA action. They have stated that even the tribunal, while disposing of the appeal, had directed that the request of the society for compounding of the violation, if any, could be considered, and hence they were ready to pay the compounding fees. Mr Bali and other petitioners had purchased land in Gurgaon for residential purposes. For this purpose, a housing welfare association was also formed, which had 218 members to start with. In order to get a licence from the appropriate authority, they filed an application, which was rejected on the ground that as per rules, a colony has to reserve land to the extent of 45 per cent of roads and streets, etc. However, since the authority was empowered to waive the condition, a request was made to sanction the colony. The request too did not find favour with the authority. Following an appeal, the Haryana Government, on December 1, 1982, granted the permission to the association subject to certain conditions.
