Getting refund from HUDA a Herculean task
Chandigarh, October 4 Many of the unsuccessful applicants are now doing rounds of the office to get their money back. While most people do get their money, it is not without a harrowing experience. Balbir Kaur (name changed) from Jalandhar has visited the HUDA headquarters at Panchkula four times on different days, each time to be told that some more formalities are required to be completed before she can get the refund of her unsuccessful application. Applicants are loosing huge interest on the money they had deposited with HUDA. Even if an applicant takes his file by hand to each official, it is impossible to complete the task in a single day. The nightmare starts at the reception counter itself where refund seekers are told that the money has already been sent by a cheque at their address, and they should wait for a few weeks. Those who come back after 2-3 weeks are sent to the dealing clerk. After verifying records, the clerk asks the refund seekers to get a specimen form photocopied. This form is then filled and the applicants are again asked to get photocopy of the completed refund form. The accompanying noting is then signed by the superintendent, who marks it to the accounts officer. The accounts officer marks it to the section officer, who marks it to the cashier. The cashier again marks it to the accounts officer, who then marks it to the registry clerk to give the document a number. Once through this drill, the applicants are asked to take the documents to a concerned bank, mostly Punjab National Bank in Sector 17, Chandigarh, or sometimes Axis Bank in Panchkula to get a stop payment certificate. The banks deal with the public till 4 pm while HUDA has its public dealing time from 3 to 5 pm which means that the unsuccessful applicant has to get all formalities done between 3 and 4 pm, which entails visit to several floors in the HUDA office and also the bank, several kilometres away. Once the stop payment certificate is procured, the applicants are again required to go to the accounts officer, who asks the cashier for writing a cheque. It is rare that the cheque is issued the same day. Many of the officials, who are required to put their signatures on the refund application, are invariably untraceable. HUDA officials say there are only a handful of applicants who have not received their refunds. Most of the refunds were dispatched in August and only those people whose cheques got misplaced come here to get duplicate cheques issued. However, the applicants complain that the refunds were sent through some unknown courier agency and not through registered mail for the reasons best known to HUDA, resulting in a loss of hundreds of
cheques.

Self-financing schemes
Hisar, October 4 In a latest incidence, students of a local DAV college alleged that the college authorities had admitted them after collecting capitation fee worth Rs 10 lakh for which they were not issued any receipts. They said the college had admitted them even though their merit standing was lower than those refused admission. The authorities had to admit that the amount was collected but maintained that parents of the students had made these donations voluntarily. Meanwhile, the students have approached the Kurukshetra University authorities for a thorough probe. Inquiries reveal that most of the students admitted over and above the sanctioned strength of a course are girls who are allowed to attend classes but finally appear in the university examination as private candidates. In case of boys, the colleges enroll them with the distance education directorate of the university concerned where they appear as candidates of correspondence courses. The colleges are recruiting guest faculty for these courses arbitrarily and no heed is paid to the UGC guidelines and government directions. Managements have been appointing teachers under these schemes who do not even fulfill the academic requirements prescribed by the UGC. Most of the teachers have not cleared NET and their academic record is not "consistently good" which means they do not have 55 per cent marks as desired. The guest faculty is also being exploited. Many institutions are reported to be paying lower salaries than specified by the UGC and the state government. Besides, commissioner, higher education, has found that salaries of teaching and non-teaching staff of self-financing courses are being paid from amalgamated fund or other funds not originating from the self-financing scheme. It has now issued a warning to the colleges to follow Punjab Financial Rules while utilising the funds generated by The commissioner has directed that prior permission of his office must be obtained in case a college needs to utilise other funds for this scheme. The directive said the college must fully justify the request for utilising the fund and any deviation from this direction would be dealt with sternly. Taking a serious view of the office-bearers of managing bodies appointing their kith and kin as guest faculty ignoring the rules, the commissioner has directed that minimum qualifications and other norms prescribed by the UGC, state government, AICTE and the NCTE must be adhered to. The same has been said of non-teaching staff appointed under self-financing schemes.

Rising traffic takes its toll on NH-1
Karnal, October 4 Karnal city is growing at a rapid pace. No wonder it is witnessing ever increasing number of vehicles on the roads, especially on the NH-1. Overspeeding, jumping red lights, parking at prohibited areas and driving under the influence of liquor are some of the offences being committed by motorists with ever increasing traffic on this highway. Though the highway comes under the jurisdiction of the district police from where it passes, its upkeep is taken care of by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Surprisingly, the police personnel assigned with managing the traffic on the highway are helpless when it comes to challaning the offenders for breaking traffic rules. "We are not authorised to challan vehicles on the highway as it is under the purview of the NHAI," said inspector Rajinder Singh on duty at Devi Lal chowk. When The Tribune team visited the spot no traffic light was functioning, though there was a traffic policeman directing the traffic. But at night, when the personnel are needed the most they are conspicuous by their absence. The roadways buses usually stop at no-parking zones to pick up passengers, in the process blocking the road and causing traffic jams. Vehicles on this road travel at breakneck speeds and people who live in nearby areas have a harrowing time crossing the road in the absence of traffic lights. Only Jewel's Chowk has functioning traffic lights. A.S. Chawla, Karnal SP, says the police keeps a check mainly on drunken driving and overspeeding on the NH-1 and challans are issued in these cases. In all other cases, the police tries to educate the violators. On the issue of buses making unauthorised stops, he says, "We have instructed the drivers to stop at bus stops. But sometimes the passengers want to get down where transport is available and the driver obliges. If things get out of hand then I will take action and write to the general manager, Haryana Roadways."

Wanted! Haryanavi grooms
Jind, October 4 Blondes from Russia and its neighbouring countries have now turned to this part of the country to find a groom. In fact, some of the prospective brides have already landed here and have been on a hunt to find suitable husbands in states like Haryana. Faced with declining population and shortage of marriageable men, many foreign women who are interested in Indian culture and lifestyle have turned to this country in search of eligible youths. Anna Pethakov is one of such girls. Hailing from Siberia, the coldest and largest province of Russia, she has been here for almost a year, looking for an ideal husband. Anna (27), who came here with her elder brother, says she is looking for a husband who hails either from Haryana or Punjab. She and her brother Vitali have already travelled several districts of the state, including Ambala, Kurukshetra, Jind, Karnal, Gurgaon and Faridabad, besides a couple of districts of Punjab. She also attended the "Gita Jayanti Samaroh" at Kurukshetra recently and talked to some of the participants. In conversation with Dev Raj, a social activist, Anna and her brother sought their help in this hunt. Vitali says his family is highly impressed with the Indian culture and felt that Anna would have a happy married life after marrying an Indian, especially from this region. He says this influence has mainly come
from an Indian teacher, Sant Thakur Singh, who used to teach in that part of Russia a few years back. According to Anna, she had heard about a large number of case histories about Indian husbands, who had been married to a foreigner and were mainly responsible for making marriage a success, which was hardly expected from men from western countries. Vitali says he had come to India thrice earlier and his love for this land increased with every visit. He says he intends to settle in India after retirement and would like to work for peace and religious pursuits. Giving full credit to the Indian teacher, who spent several years in Russia, Anna says looking beyond Siberia or Russia was impossible without any such interaction. She says more and more Russian girls are now showing interest in marrying Indian boys. Social activist Dev Raj says such propositions can be mutually beneficial to the individuals as well as the countries involved in cross-cultural bonding. It would address the demographic concerns of both India and Russia, the natural allies for long. The population in Russia is shrinking at a rate of one million in every three years and fewer women, if they find men to marry, are giving birth. In India, the sex ratio is skewed despite huge population, driving men in states like Haryana to hunt for brides from far off places. Given the rising trend and the visit of more and more youths from here and from Russia and its neighboring states, including those for studies, may open new vistas for establishing new parameters of friendship and cooperation through such ties in near future, claims Devraj, adding that there are many cases where Haryanvi boys have married Russian or European girls in the past.

‘Real freedom is yet to come’
Jind, October 4 Bijender Singh (98) of Kharkara village of Safidon subdivision of the district is one of them. He has not only witnessed the torture and oppression of the foreign rule but also spent several valuable years of his life in jail along with his younger brother for revolting against the British rule. The freedom fighter says he and his brother Fauja Singh used to distribute a newspaper named as “Lal Jhanda” to create awareness and seek public support for the freedom movement It was being published by some revolutionaries and contained incidents and reports of various developments regarding the freedom struggle and acts of oppression against the locals. Bijender and his brother were assigned the job of pasting the newspaper on the streets of Lahore, but on July 16, 1942, they were sentenced to jail after being caught red-handed while pasting newspapers. Claiming that his younger brother was more active, he says they were hundreds of other prisoners who were made to suffer the brutalities and harassment in the hands of the police. He says during a protest in jail against police excesses Fauja got nine fractures in his hand in the resulting police action. He had to live with his broken left hand till his death, as the jail authorities did not provide any medical treatment to the injured prisoners, he adds. He, however, says the injuries and humiliation suffered by the people at that time were perhaps less than what is taking place after the Independence. He says his heart still aggrieves at the state of affairs today, as there are still many problems that are lying unaddressed, including the lack of proper education, unemployment, corruption and poverty. Bijender says real freedom would mean that every person gets educated and economically independent with corruption-free rule at all levels. Though the district administration has honoured this freedom fighter on various occasions, the family of Bijender feels that the role of several freedom fighters needs to be highlighted even more. A radio documentary tittled “Lal Akhbar” made on the life of Fauja and Bijender has been selected for nomination for national award by the union information and broadcasting ministry recently.

Inside Babudom
Chandigarh, October 4 The reshuffle of this dimension was not undertaken even when the present government was sworn in for various reasons. The primary reason was the imposition of the moral code of conduct. Immediately after the new government took over, the elections to the urban civic bodies and panchayats were announced. The field officers could not be transferred at that time. Later, two byelections were held due the death of two ministers in an air crash, besides one byelection held to enable Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda to become a member of the Assembly. He was an MP when he became the Chief Minister. This was followed by another byelection to the Rohtak Lok Sabha seat that was vacated by Hooda after becoming an MLA. In the meanwhile, the officers, who were holding key posts in the field, managed to find political godfathers and retained plum posts at different stations. This also created an embarrassing situation for the government, which was accused of having retained the “loyalists of the Chautala government” on the key posts. One of the main features of the recent reshuffle is that unlike the past all key posts in the field have been filled. Now, if mid-term Lok Sabha election takes place, the government would not be found lacking in administrative preparedness. Another feature is that the government seems to have gone by seniority-cum-merit of officers while allotting posts. The interference of political godfathers does not seem to have played any role in selecting officers for key posts. The thrust of the government in selecting the officers has been efficiency and integrity of the officers. Special care is taken to post such officers in Gurgaon and Faridabad, which are considered to be “show case” cities of the state. Right from the deputy commissioners to SDMs, all enjoy very good reputation, both integrity wise as well as for their ability to deal with the public in a humanitarian manner.

Govt to open 80 schools for child labourers
Panipat, October 4 The schools will be operational within a fortnight. Additional deputy commissioner Dr Amit Aggarwal said about 7,000 identified child labourers were expected to benefit from this novel project under the National Child Labour Project. Initially, there would be 80 schools with about 50 students in each class. Once the project takes off successfully, the administration hopes the approval for more schools. With the onset of rapid industrialisation, parents are more keen to get their children work with them and the officials, too, admit it as a tough task to convince the parents to send their wards to schools. Last year, the central government had asked the local administration to assess the magnitude of the problem and also to suggest remedies to rehabilitate the unprivileged ones. According to Dr Aggarwal, the administration had hired an NGO to conduct a field survey of various industries and other units to identify the child labourers. Slaughterhouses, dyeing units, carpet weaving units, automobile workshops etc fall under the hazardous industry category. He said children between the age group of 9 and 14 years would be admitted to these informal schools. These students would get the informal education up to primary level in three years. After completing the academic session, the authorities are also contemplating to offer certain job-oriented training courses. Under the project, there is also a provision to take an appropriate action against accused employer. There is a provision of imposing fine on the accused and rehabilitate the deprived child but so far no such action had been initiated, said the sources. Solely funded by the Ministry of Labour, these schools will be run by an NGO under the vigil of the National Child Labour Society headed by the deputy commissioner.

Aged & lonely need more support
Jind, October 4 A home for the aged is still to be developed in this town, which has been lacking proper pace of development since it came into being. A total of 71,551 persons aged 60 years and above in the district are drawing old-age pension from the state government. The number is exclusive of retired government employees and ex-servicemen, which is claimed to be a remarkable figure in comparison to the total population of about 11 lakh. Recently, a senior citizens’ forum was launched here with the support of the district administration. “Though various officials, including the district police chief, civil surgeon, district food and supply controller and the district public relations officer, have been made honorary members of the forum, it indicates the need of more attention of the system towards the elderly,” claims Rattan Singh, a retired defence personnel settled here. He says while majority of the retired persons or old people live with their kin, but the moving out of younger generation to the bigger cities for jobs has made many such persons live a lonely life. There is now a greater need of a well-developed system to provide support to such people, he adds. Retired principal Dr Zile Singh says in the first meeting of the forum old persons expressed their difficulties regarding paying various kinds of bills, mainly water, power and telephone. Though officials assured of a solution, there is hardly any progress in this regard. It is claimed that this is not possible till the state government comes out with a clear policy on the matter.

Adding value to rural development plans
Karnal, October 4 Responsibility of the HIRD has further been added in the wake of the 73rd constitutional amendment, which stresses on the objective of empowerment of Panchayati Raj institutes for self-governance of village communities and for the administration and operationalisation of various central and state government programmes and schemes for rural development. The main objective of the HIRD is to render services to promote rural development programmes to enhance the status and quality of life of the rural people. According to Prof Kaushal, a faculty member, HIRD, planning for rural areas has now been decentralised. He says, “Earlier, the planning was done by the state government and then it percolated down to the village level. But now the planning will be done at gram sabha and gram panchayat level.” “The HIRD is playing a major role in this process,” he adds. Research done by the institute on the livelihood profiles, living standards and lifestyle in rural Haryana shows that overall shelter status is satisfactory, but Scheduled Castes and non-farming households do need help and support to improve their shelter status. Piped water supply is available to only 34 per cent of the households while 44.5 per cent depend on hand pumps. Out of the 1,027 persons surveyed, 662 are in the potential work force (15-60 age group). Of them, only 401 (60.6 per cent) are employed. Thus, for every three persons having employment, there are two who are without work. Intoxicants take away a large chunk of total consumption expenditure and in case of Scheduled Castes and non-farmers it is 10 per cent. Expenditure on health care and education is rather meagre, being 6 per cent and 8 per cent, respectively. Thus, positive human development indicators like education and healthcare have relatively low priority whereas negative and non-positive indicators like intoxicants and spending on social ceremonies have a relatively high priority in the sample households’ consumption baskets. Around one-fourth of the sample households (200) are below the poverty line with a maximum annual income of Rs 25,000 for five members. While no one dies of starvation in rural Haryana, the income levels and consumption patterns do reveal a poverty status for at least one-third of the rural households, especially among the non-farmers, Scheduled Castes and women households. This calls for appropriate policy measures for substantive strengthening and reorientation of the schemes and programmes for poverty alleviation, employment generation, social sector development, human development and quality of life
upgradation.

Staff shortage puts roadways off track
Sonepat, October 4 There are 207 buses in the depot, including the fleet at Gohana sub-depot, and most of the buses are in plying condition. But 18 to 20 buses are reportedly not being sent on routes due to the shortage of staff, admits depot general manager Kuldeep Singh Ahlawat. He says at present, 294 drivers and 282 conductors are on the rolls of the depot against the sanctioned strength of 314 drivers and 310 conductors. Similarly, there is an acute shortage of supervisory staff, including ticket checking inspectors, as their working strength has come down to 25 from nearly 75 five years back. Ahlawat says steps have been taken to enroll new staff. “After completing the processing of forms of the applicants, details have been sent to the principal secretary and transport commissioner, who would constitute depot-level selection committees to complete the selection process.” According to rules, the drivers and conductors are entitled to five days’ leave in a month that can be increased in case of emergency. A number of employees are habitual absentees that add to the problems of the authorities. Drivers and conductors, on their part, say they get exhausted due to extra duties and take leave for the want of rest. Most of them complain that they are not able to give enough time to their families. “Many times we have to miss marriage functions of even our close relatives,” they rue. Another problem being faced by them is the nuisance of passengers habitual of travelling without ticket. “In the absence of checking staff, such persons do not even hesitate to threaten us of dire consequences”, they say. There are also reports of the staff misbehaving with the passengers, but the authorities hesitate to take disciplinary actions against the erring staff, again due to the shortage of staff. The staff shortage has another implication as the authorities are reportedly avoiding sparing the staff for yearly refresher course.

Bhindawas gears up to welcome migratory birds
Jhajjar, October 4 Realising the potential of the sanctuary, the administration is developing it as a tourist destination. The wetland of the sanctuary is being cleared of the heavily grown hyacinth. Besides, the administration has recently launched a website www.bhindawas.org which contains information about the location, species found in the sanctuary, accommodation facilities and other relevant information. The sanctuary, 17 km from Jhajjar, is spread over 1,017 acres. Wildlife department officials say the sanctuary plays host to about 15,000 to 20,000 feathered guests from overseas during winter. The birds start arriving here by mid-October and stay till February end. However, water hyacinth is a constant problem as it has taken its roots here in 1995 when the floodwaters entered the area. The department has tried to remove it, but without success. Wildlife inspector Attar Singh, who is in charge of the sanctuary, says the work to remove the wild grass is in full swing and would be completed before the arrival of birds. The hyacinth is being removed manually by labourers as there is no other effective mode to stop its germination, he informs. The wild growth has also spoiled the scenic beauty of the area, besides choking its waters resulting in space congestion for birds, adds the inspector. Earlier, a large number of migratory birds used to turn away to other destinations as the shortage of water surface due to hyacinth left them jostling for space. These birds had also found shelter ground in the fields in the adjoining locations near Dighal and Beri villages where rainwater got accumulated. The officials say about 50 species of birds arrive here in winter season. These include cormorant, pintail, egret shelduck, bar-headed goose, comb duck, white-throated kingfisher, green bee-eater, black drongo, pied cuckoo, common hawk cuckoo etc. The administration stated that the government rest house at Bhindawas had been spruced up for the tourists.

Fatehabad students have limited options
Fatehabad, October 4 Even at the senior secondary level, people have a very limited choice for the education of their children because there is no established school in the town. Neither there is any Kendriya Vidyalaya in the district. While there are only two colleges, which impart education up to graduation level with no provision for postgraduate classes. Local M.M. College, which is one of the oldest colleges of the state, lacks facilities for science students. The college management has been trying to get permission for science and postgraduate classes, but they are yet to get government approval. Though the state has witnessed a spurt in opening of new engineering colleges, Fatehabad still is without an engineering college. Setting up of a college of education and a polytechnic by the management of Manohar Memorial College last year is the only solace for the residents of this town. The district also lags behind in the matter of coaching facilities. What to talk of coaching facilities for civil services, the district does not have centres for the preparations of pre-medical and pre-engineering tests. Residents have to face a lot of hardships when their children pass class X and aspire for competing in these examinations. The problem is more acute for the parents of girl students, who do not wish to send their daughters to far-flung areas. Ramita Batra and her husband Rajiv Batra had to make Hisar their temporary abode when their daughter Sahiba passed out her matriculation examination and started preparing for the pre-engineering test three years back. Sahiba is now pursuing B.Tech course from a reputed university and her parents are back to Fatehabad. K.C. Mehta, a senior advocate, says it’s like a nightmare even thinking of sending his daughter Deepshikha alone to a new place. He says Deepshikha is a brilliant student and wants to take non-medical after her matriculation. But he knows that he will not be able to provide her proper coaching at Fatehabad and how he will actually manage at that time he has not decided yet. Some others like advocate C.L. Narang have sent their wards to Chandigarh for coaching while others have been getting coaching in Delhi or Bathinda. But all cannot afford the luxury of sending their wards to far off places or setting up their temporary homes away from homes. Those with limited means have to suffer from the lack of facilities and several times brilliant students have to sit back and settle for a course not of their choice. The residents demand that the government must do something in this direction as in the changing global scenario their wards should not be deprived of their due. They feel the private players in the field of education should not only concentrate on metro and big cities, but also think of small towns like
Fatehabad.

Traffic chaos in Panipat
Panipat, October 4 The route walks along the western canal and crosses through Siwah village before touching the NH-1. On the northern side, the same stretch goes from Assandh naka till IOCL refinery in the district. Sources said owing to the paucity of funds, the road link of about 1 km near Siwah village was not taken up for months. Similarly, the stretch near refinery was also not started due to certain administrative reasons, officials claimed. Taking a strong exception over the delay in the completion of the project, deputy commissioner Mahender Kumar had held a meeting with engineers of the NHAI and the PWD yesterday and directed them to take prompt action. He directed the PWD officials to work out on the expenditure of the road near Siwah and get sanctioned at the earliest in the public interest. The sources said the DC had also ensured for the early release of Rs 4 crore from the IOCL refinery as per the provision. In these columns, The Tribune had highlighted the plight of the NH users who cross through the township. Due to the ongoing construction work of the elevated highway project, frequent traffic jams are a regular feature. Panipat is the most congested stretch on the NH-1 and is unable to cope with heavy vehicular traffic. Though the elevated highway is expected to reduce the traffic burden to a large extent but there is no alternate route.

Jats, too, on the Gujjar path
Kaithal, October 4 The tone of Jat leaders, who assembled here recently under the banner of the All India Jat Maha Sabha, was aggressive and they served an ultimatum to the government to accept their demand or be ready to face their agitation. The state government should grant reservation to Jats as their economic condition is not good, said Yudhvir Singh, national general secretary of the sabha. The Jat leaders declared that the assembly non-political and was organised to discuss social problems faced by the community. However, some speakers despite warnings by the stage secretary reportedly made scathing attack on some Congress leaders. Fateh Singh Fatwa, BKU leader, was one such leader. Yudhvir Singh said now most of the states except Panjab and Haryana had granted reservation to Jats and it is high time that the Haryana government should also consider their demand without any delay. He said as most of the members of this community had been carrying on the agriculture activity, which had now become a losing proposition due to high cost of inputs. The diminishing land holdings had aggravated the problem. In such a situation, job reservation had become a necessity for them. He warned if the government failed to meet their demand Jats would be forced to launch an agitation. Dharam Pal Chhot, newly elected president of the Haryana Jat Mahasabha, said the Justice Gurnam Singh Commission and the Verma Commission had long back recommended reservation for Jats in government jobs. He regretted that even after decades of the recommendations these had not been implemented. The speakers expressed concern over the misuse of the SC and ST Act. They said on a number of occasions baseless charges of atrocities on the members of the SC/ST community by upper castes had been levelled. This had resulted into social tensions,
they added. The speakers also raised the issue of dowry deaths and atrocities on women. The Jat mahasabha also condemned female foeticide and called for taking strict steps to check this social evil. Others present on the occasion included Pawan Jeet Banwala, president, All India Adarsh Jat Mahasabha, Nathu Ram, vice-president, Dharampal Chhot, secretary, Jat Mahasabha, Surinder Kaur and Kusum
Choudhry.

Haryanavis just can’t stop smoking
Panipat, October 4 Even several government officials are accused of flouting the rules by smoking openly at their respective offices. The Anti-Smoking Act, passed by Parliament in 2003, forbids smoking at public places and any person caught breaking the law can be fined Rs 100 to 200. But the district authorities here seem to be least bothered to determine if the rules are being adhered to strictly at least by their own officials. In fact the ban here is ignored on the ground that the smoking is a part of Haryanvi culture, said a district functionary. A visit by this correspondent to various places, including the judicial complex that houses the offices of ADC, SDM and the district courts, reveals that smokers enjoy their time openly without any objection from any official. In fact, cigarette and bidis are openly sold at the complex shops rented out by various government departments. Similarly, both employees and visitors at HUDA office, civil hospital, MC office, bus stand and other public places can be seen flouting the rules. “When the district officials do not object to the sale of cigarettes and bidis on the premises then who would discourage smoking at the public places,’’ said Manjit Singh Sodhi, a senior citizen, outside the SDM office.
