BJP blasts Centre for
poor security scenario
Chamba, June 3 Expressing deep concern over the prevailing state of affairs in the country under the UPA government, the former minister and senior BJP leader, Mr Mohan Lal, said it was very shameful for us that in India, even the Hindu organisations like the RSS were not safe. He held the Centre accountable for the alleged conspiracy of blowing up the RSS headquarters. Mr Mohan Lal charged the UPA government with corruption and castigated it for its failure to curb corruption. He alleged that the corruption was a slur on the ruling government. “The country is suffering of misrule under the weak UPA government at the Centre,” Mr Mohan Lal said.

No ticket checking by flying squad
Solan, June 3 The incident pertains to a Delhi-bound bus HP-07-5137 which was stopped by a four-member flying squad team near Barog around 7 pm yesterday. A passenger Aditya Sharma, who was travelling from Shimla, revealed that it was surprising that instead of entering the bus to check the tickets the entire team preferred to complete the paper work by mere jotting details of ticket numbers from the conductor. Interestingly, an HRTC official who was also travelling by the same bus did not bother to question the flying squad as to why they had not checked the tickets though he descended down to greet his fellow colleagues. The squad members after completing the requisite paper work let the bus go and waited for other bus on the National Highway-22. The conductor, when quizzed by the commuters, said that since his working was well known to the team they thought it apt to skip it. The HRTC MD Mr Shrikant Baldi, when contacted, expressed surprise and said that he would inquire into the matter. With losses surmounting in the HRTC, the flying squads have been instituted to check conductors making money on the sly. Such incidents have not only shown the corporation in poor light but have reflected poorly on the honesty of its staff.

Poor construction of road flayed
Bilaspur, June 3 Addressing mediapersons here today, Mr Subhash Sharma alleged that all norms regarding road construction had been violated and spot PWD officers did not bother to ensure quality work despite repeated requests from public representatives. Now this road construction work has actually become wastage of public funds. He also pointed towards faulty construction of road-side drains of this road. Now all rain water is either collected on the road or it fills entire drainage system spreading pollution and encouraging growth files and mosquitoes making life difficult in the villages of surrounding areas.
