Disputes over common land on the rise
Fatehgarh Sahib, July 13 With realty boom, land-related disputes have also shot up in the district since the past few years. “Everyday we receive two to five complaints related to dispute over common land in
various villages,” said police officials. The land, without proper demarcation, has become the bone of contention among people as more than one person claims to be the owner of land in the vicinity of the villages. Officials said most of the plots in controversy were those that were situated on roadside. Also, those plots, whose possession was with one person but documents with the other, constituted a large number of complaints. Most of these lands are government or public properties. "People are coming with their complaints in connection with village lands. This property is either in the possession of one party or the other without proper documents. Now, with the increase in property prices, even a small piece of land is worth lakhs of rupees and nobody wants to leave even a yard," said a senior police official. In a recent complaint lodged with the SSP, Jaswant Kaur, a resident of Ratan Palo village in Fatehgarh Sahib, accused three men of her village of trying to encroach upon a piece of common land, which was in her possession for the past many years. Villagers are using common land or roadside places to dump cow dung or other waste material of households or farms. "The land is in my possession and now a section of influential people are trying to encroach upon it due to
rise in property prices", said Jaswant Kaur. According to police officials, Nabipur village is one of the most notorious villages of district where common or
government land is being encroached upon by people for various purposes. "People take a piece of land for dumping cow dung and when someone else starts dumping the same near their occupied place, a dispute arises between the two parties,"
said Fatehgarh Sahib SSP Kaustubh Sharma. Admitting the problem of a large number of complaints in this connection, he said the police was take preventive action in such complaints. "Though we write to departments concerned regarding the problem but a concrete solution needs to be crafted out to prevent such lacunae," he said. |

PSEB helpless as some plants shut
Patiala, July 13 Unit No. 6 of Singrouli Power Plant (500MW) of NTPC has been non-functional since June 23. Its revival date was earlier given as July 8 but has now been revised to July 18. Unit No. 3 of the same plant having a capacity of 200 MW has been down due to the boiler tube leakage since July 11 and has been revived today. Another unit 7 of Singrouli Plant of 500MW tripped today due to boiler tube leakage and may be revived tomorrow. The PSEB is losing 120 MW(28 lakh units) per day from these units. Unit No. 2 of Rihand (500MW) is out of generation due to boiler tube leakage since July 11 and is expected to be revived today. The PSEB is losing 50 MW (12LUs) per day, informed the sources. The BBMB is releasing 3,500 cusecs of water from Pong Dam and only one machine of 60MW is operational, resultantly MHP is generating only 16 lakh units per day against 48 lakh units per day last year. According to an official of the PSEB, Naptha Jhakhri Plant (1500MW) remained close from 6 am to 6 pm today for flushing out the silt. This plant has also become functional. Tanakpur Hydel Project of NHPC and Narora Atomic Power Plant of NPCIL have been shut due to technical faults causing shortage of 7.25lakh units per day to the PSEB. Sources revealed that Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu were facing acute power shortage due to weak monsoon and non-generation from windmills. These states have thus backed out of the earlier commitment of supplying power to Punjab from July 15 onwards, they added. Due to overall power shortage, the frequency of the national grid has gone down, therefore the PSEB is unable to overdraw from national grid as per requirement. Ratra said there had been an abrupt rise in the demand of power. The PSEB had been forced to impose daily six hours’ power cuts. Ratra also said that PSEB officials were on their toes to rectify the faults in the system wherever they occurred. He appealed to consumers to bear with the PSEB in such situations. However, he said PSEB officials would make all efforts to keep the system free of faults and consumers would not face power outages except for scheduled power cuts.

Jeev finishes ninth in Scottish Open
Chandigarh, July 13 Jeev could have done much better had he not conceded back to back bogeys on the 12th and 13th holes after playing a one under par 35 on the front nine. In fact, after the third round Jeev was happily placed at tied third. Jeev showed his class returning three under par 68 cards on the first and second day. He recovered on the third day to play a two under par 69 to be tied third. On the final day, much was expected from the Chandigarh golf icon. He remained in the reckoning playing a one under par front nine on the final day. But two bogeys on the back nine saw him slip to tied ninth slot. But Jeev is certainly keeping his position in the order of merit. At the moment he is placed second on the Asian tour and 10th on the European Tour. Two other Indians on the Scottish Open failed to make the cut after the second round. They were S.S.P. Chowrasia (72-70) and Shiv Kapur (71-72). James Kingston of South Africa clinched the title after firng a three under par 68 for a four-day aggregate of 13 under par 271. |
