Pollution control board chief in trouble again
Chandigarh, December 4 First, he has been involved in a running feud with minister of state for environment Kiran Choudhry, who is highly critical of his functioning. Now, his appointment has come under the scanner of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The relations between Choudhry and Chahal had once reached a stage at which they were not even on talking terms. Chahal did not attend several meetings called by the minister to review the functioning of the board. The issue went to Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who asked chief secretary Dharam Vir to act as a peacemaker between the two. It was perhaps due to the efforts of the chief secretary that Chahal started attending meetings convened by Choudhry. But he continued to be the target of tongue lashing from the minister. After the proceedings of one such meeting held on November 22 was published in a newspaper, three days later Hooda himself took over the environment portfolio, perhaps in a bid to end the impasse between Choudhry and Chahal. However, the decision was reversed within hours. After the environment portfolio was restored to Choudhry, a senior bureaucrat remarked that it would be in his own interests if Chahal packed his bags on his own. Earlier, on November 17, the high court took exception to the "lackadaisical" attitude of the state government in not notifying the appointment of Chahal and other members of the board for more than one year. Advocate-general Hawa Singh Hooda admitted the mistake on the part of the state government and promised to notify their appointment soon. The required notification was issued four days later. Besides Chahal as the chairman, eight private citizens were nominated as members of the board. Those who have been nominated members of the board are Suresh Gupta, Mange Ram Dahiya and Sant Lal Madan (all from Rohtak), Narender Singh (Jind), Harish Sasan (Ambala city), Jitender Bhardwaj (Gurgaon), and Basant Virmani and Raghubir Singh Tewatia (both from Faridabad). Seven official members were also nominated. Now, the court has issued notice to the government, among others, on a writ petition challenging the appointment of Chahal. The petitioner is an employee of the board. The petition says Chahal is not qualified to be the chairman of the pollution control board. Pertinently, Choudhry had also written to the Chief Minister some time ago that Chahal did not possess qualifications necessary for being the chairman of the board.

High mishap rate exposes poor traffic control
Yamunanagar, December 4 Kavita was crushed to death by an overloaded tractor-trailer near the old Hamida road. On same day, another man was crushed to death by a truck while he was coming from Jagadari. The district has been witnessing heavy flow of loaded trucks and tractor-trailer due to industries in the twin towns of Yamunanagar and Jagadari. However, in the absence proper implementation of traffic rules and laxity on the part of the authorities, there is a significant rise in the number of deaths due to road accidents. No strong measure has been taken so far to streamline the traffic. The district is a hub of educational institutions. Hence there is a need to make students aware of traffic rules, as wearing helmets for safety is still an alien concept here. In the absence of any check, many areas inside the city and on highways have become danger zones. The roads where traffic police and special checks are needed include Jagadari Kamani chowk, Piara chowk, Vishvakarma chowk, Railway road, Fountain chowk, and Model Town. Strict vigilance is also required on the Yamunanagar-Shahranpur road, Yamunanagar-Kurukshetra, national highway no. 73. Meanwhile, after Kavita’s death residents had held a protest and blocked traffic here following which SDM H.C Jain had called a meeting of transport officials and heads of educational institutions to spread the awareness among the schoolchildren. He had also directed the transport authorities to check the overloading of vehicles. However, no concrete step has been taken. It is high time that the administration work towards controlling the flow of heavy traffic in the city.

Bishnoi keeps options open for future alliances
Hisar, December 4 During the run up to the rally, Bishnoi had been stating that he would announce the names of all HJC nominees at the rally itself. However, he announced only one name, Chander
Bhatia, a former BJP legislator for the Faridabad Lok Sabha seat. Bishnoi had already made the name of the party’s nominee for the Gurgaon seat, Rao Narbir Singh, public several months ago. Failure to announce the names of the remaining candidates, including his own candidature, clearly indicates that Bishnoi wants to delay the list till the last moment for two reasons. Firstly, the delay would allow him to keep his options open for a last minute poll alliance. Secondly, the announcement of names at this stage would have led to a rift in the party, as there are several hopefuls for every seat. Those ignored would certainly leave the party. It is clear that Bishnoi has been revealing his cards like a seasoned politician. The two names he has announced so far have helped him project himself as a well-wisher of non-jats in the state. While Rao Narbir Singh is Ahir, Chander Bhatia is a Punjabi. These nominations would also help him personally, if he decided to contest the newly created Bhiwani- Mahendragarh Lok Sabha constituency. Earlier, he has represented the Bhiwani constituency, which did not include Mahendragarh. The nomination of an Ahir from Gurgaon would help him garner Ahir votes, as this community dominates Mahendragarh. If he decides to shift to Hisar, which is likely to happen, the nomination of an Ahir from Gurgaon would give him the choice of selecting a nominee for the Bhiwani- Mahendragarh constituency from amongst Brahmins, Rajputs or the Backward Classes. Many political observers say the alliance with the BSP would no longer be possible, as both the parties had announced their candidates for the Gurgaon seat. However, a majority was of the view that in case there is an alliance between the two parties, candidates could be withdrawn or changed as necessary. Mere announcement of the candidates in advance is no indication that there would be no alliance. Even otherwise, it would have been foolhardy to expect Bishnoi to reveal the names of candidates at this stage. Every party waits as long as possible for the rivals to reveal their cards. Thus, Bishnoi too would do the same and it would still be months before the names are out.

Terror in Mumbai
Karnal, December 4 This big question is shaking the minds of all-right thinking people as shock and horror over the ghastly act is turning into anger and rage and leaders of all hues are in the dock in the people’s court. Senior citizens here, some of whom had witnessed Partition and also seen society breaking into castes, sub-castes, regions, religions and linguistic groups, are so worked up that they seriously feel that the country needs another uprising against the entire class of politicians. Vasudeva, coordinator of senior citizens council, said it was shameful that while the entire nation plunged into grief and everybody observed it to be the darkest period of Indian democracy, the reaction of political leaders was along the party lines and clearly against the sentiments of the people. Public opinion and the views of dignitaries and observers aired by TV channels clearly indicated that it was total political failure as even in the hour of national crises politicians were not united and concerned more about their own political victory, said another elderly person, Jai Bhargwa. The singular objective of all political parties was to usurp power by hook or by crook and no party was interested in giving the ticket to honest, hard working and competent persons. The ticket was given only to those who could win on the basis of caste, creed, religion, region, muscle power or had unaccounted money to squander among the poor to purchase votes, he added. The senior citizens were anguished that very few politicians and their kin ever fell a victim to insurgency, terrorist attacks, agitations, and operations against anti-national elements and perhaps “death” was the destination and destiny only for the army, the security forces and the police, including the NSG, or the innocent public. What could be more shameful than the bitter truth that when the commando operations were going on and it had already been declared that 150 persons, including two IPS officers and 12 policemen, had died, the Gujarat Chief Minister had the audacity to claim that terrorists did not come through
Porbandar.

Inside Babudom
Chandigarh, December 4 In at least five districts of the state where the superintendents of police (SPs) are senior to the deputy commissioners (DCs), ego clashes are hampering government working between the two top offices, that of the DC and the SP, in the district since the two do not see eye to eye on virtually anything. If the DCs come with an “air of superiority” about their service, the SPs have a “chip on their shoulder” they can’t let go to stand side by side. Only recently, in Yamunanagar, the DC decided to take posting of police officials within the district in his hand and shuffled the DSPs which did not go down well with the SP who saw it as “infringement” on his duties. However, after much fuss, the matter was resolved and the DC finally had his way and his order prevailed. Now, after a change in the headship of the district, where 2003 batch Amit Aggarwal is the DC and 1995 batch Dr C.S. Rao is the SP, an “uneasy calm” prevails and there have not been any “scenes” so to say but the discomfort persists. The situation is no better in Sonepat where DC Ajit B Joshi and SP Navdeep Virk are far from presenting a united front. Though neither admits there is any tension, officials in the district vouch for the “undercurrents” that keep them on the tenterhooks. In Faridabad, too,1998 batch DC Bijender Singh and 1994 batch Shrikant Jadhav are “trying to pull along” by maintaining a “professional dry” relationship and avoiding confrontation wherever
possible. Similarly, in Bhiwani, where 2002 batch Mohd Shayin has recently been posted as DC and 1996-batch officer, Sanjay Kumar is holding the post of SP, there is no evident tussle as of now. Having moved out from Bhiwani, T.L. Satyaprakash has landed in a similar situation with a senior batch SP to “tackle” in Jind. How long peace prevails in these “comparatively calm districts” is anybody’s guess and it seems more indicative of the lull before in storm. A deputy commissioner maintains that the problem lies at the end of IPS officers who cannot accept the IAS officers’ superiority when it comes to working with them. “They don’t realise that at the end of the day, the IAS is a superior service and the batch difference holds no meaning. Also, as per the Punjab Police Rules, the buck stops at the district magistrate’s office even in case of a law and order situation. Then, where is the question of senior and junior,” he asks. The DCs explain that it is entirely their magnanimity that they don’t interfere in postings of police personnel of a certain rank and above within the district although it comes well within their rights. And, most of the DCs pin down this tussle, to an attitude problem the IPS officers suffer from. An IAS sums it up with great clarity to drive home the point of their superiority, “The IPS officers must realise that we are the government and they are only one department. If this can be kept in mind, such issues of non-issues will not arise”.

Post-facelift, Ferozshah Mahal
gets more visitors
Hisar, December 4 The restoration exercise has led to an increase in the number of visitors to the palace. These also include groups of students from local colleges and universities. Assistant conservator B.B. Kaul said his department was concerned over increasing encroachments around important historical sites in the district and despite repeated notices to shopkeepers to remove encroachments, none of them heeded to the pleas. He said his department had sent a list of encroached places to the district administration last year following which some of the encroachments were removed. However, the situation was back to the square one. Kaul said the historic Prithvi Raj Chauhan's fort at Hansi near here had been damaged due to encroachments. Likewise, the Hansi police was requested to ban heavy vehicles from passing under the Badsi Gate structure as such heavy traffic could damage the structure. However, after checking heavy traffic for a few days, there was still no ban on it. The state animal husbandry department had not yet handed over the possession of Pili Kothi here, which had been declared as a historical monument. As a result, the structure continued to suffer damage in the absence of restoration work. The department offices had shifted from there but officials were reluctant to hand over possession.

Job scheme benefits 1700 households
Jhajjar, December 4 As per official record, Bahadurgarh block has stood first followed by Salhavaas block in the matter of providing employment to the poor villagers in the district. The Bahadurgarh block has so far issued 1,382 job cards and generated a maximum employment of over 17,083 man-days. Work of leveling of land has been progressing in Ladayan village of this block for the past over two months and the toiling villagers working with devotion to complete the work. Interestingly, the number of women working here is much higher than men who sought employment under the scheme. Rajesh Kumar, sarpanch of the village, said the work of leveling on eight acres of Panchayat land had effectively been going on in front of the village school with the help of district administration. Apart from Bahadurgarh, the scheme is drawing a good response in other blocks of the districts as well. Employment of 16,263 man-days has been provided in Sahlavaas block where 1,159 job cards have been prepared. Likewise, employment of 14,508 man-days was generated and over 1,046 job cards were issued in Matenhail block, and in Jhajjar block, employment of 2,557 man-days has been generated and 1,456 job cards have issued so far. It may be mentioned here that the NREGS is an ambitious scheme of the central government under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), which provides right to work as a guarantee to villagers. The scheme envisages that the authorities are bound to provide 100 man-days of labour work to villagers who are willing to do so.

Govt campaign to publicise achievements
Fatehabad, December 4 In the month- long campaign that began on December 1, the publicity wing of the information and public relations department has been asked to reach out to each and every village of the state. The publicity wing includes folk media units comprising bhajan parties and drama parties and the recently strengthened cinema units. The government has recently provided cinema units comprising a Swaraj Mazda vehicle fitted with a LCD projector, screen, sound system and other paraphernalia to 11 districts. These are Jhajjar, Sonipat, Yamunanagar, Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Faridabad, Mewat, Rewari, Kaithal, Panipat and Fatehabad. Other districts already have the services of such units. The department has also supplied 15 films each to all the districts to be shown to the villagers. These short films highlight the positive aspects and achievements of the state government. Before launching the special drive, the department convened a meeting of all district information and public relations officers (DIPRO) in Chandigarh on November 7 and November 8 in which the details of the campaign were explained. Officers from the headquarters were also attended the meeting. K.K. Khandelwal, director, information and public relations, Haryana, presided. Sunder Pal, media adviser to the Haryana Chief Minister who was also present gave the guidelines to enrich the content part of the folk media. The emphasis was to make the contents of the presentations by the folk media identifiable with the common people. This was followed by a workshop of the bhajan parties and drama units at Panchkula on November 25. With publicity becoming a major tool for wooing voters and different parties using the print and electronic media for publicising their policies, the Haryana government has chosen to utilise the "sarkari" source of publicity available to it.

Murrah buffaloes face extinction: Experts
Rohtak, December 4 The experts are concerned about the scaling down of the quality of the breed in view of an increase in its population. This had come up for discussion at a recently concluded training camp at the office of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra here. According to Dr Rajinder Singh, professor and senior extension specialist, murrah and other good breeds of milch cattle in the state would face extinction unless steps were taken to improve dairy farming techniques and remove anomalies in trading and marketing of such cattle. He said though the number of such cattle might have gone up extensively over the years due to indiscriminate breeding, the quality had gone down drastically. The expert said due to the lack of knowledge and simple measures, such buffaloes were rendered useless in a short period and thus abandoned. Thousands of heads of cattle were being taken out of the state to other parts of the country each year and many of these were taken to slaughterhouses, he claimed. The extinction of the famous angole breed of Andhra Pradesh, which had been the main source of milk supplies in the entire South India, was blamed on the excessive involvement of traders and middlemen who traded in this breed for heavy commissions. This resulted in less care and finally extinction, said Dr Rajinder Singh. Regarding the murrah breed, he observed that the middlemen here had also been pocketing a profit of about 30 per cent in the sale and purchase and had been chasing this breed leading to causal care and lack of proper upkeep of the cattle. Farmers and participants were also cautioned about the excessive use of “Oxitocin” injection for getting the yield and urged to adopt the natural techniques in the overall interest of this high quality cattle breed. As per a survey, almost 60 and 30 per cent of the buffalo owners in the urban and rural areas, respectively, had been using such injections. Proper management and care could enhance the per hectare population of such cattle to four or five from the present status of just 2.2 cattle per hectare. The experts also asked the people to adopt artificial insemination, balanced feeding, record-keeping and milking techniques to get better results and savings.

Hospital on construction spree without approval
Karnal, December 4 The hospital planned to set up an intensive care unit (ICU) by adding a new floor to a building whose plan had not been sanctioned by the MC. Not only this, the Chief Minister was also kept in dark about the status of the building and he sanctioned Rs 11 lakh for the ICU. A criminal case filed by Jitendra Rana, legal adviser, and the India Rural Development Foundation against the alleged irregularities and illegal construction by the hospital was pending in a local court but it had no sobering effect on the management. A hostel for nurses constructed by the hospital with accommodation for 24 inmates was inaugurated two days ago and strangely, the building plan of this new block has also not
been approved. The building inspector admitted that the plans of the new block were not approved and hastened to say that a notice would be issued to the hospital. The president of municipal council, Balwinder Singh Kalra, expressed his ignorance about the unauthorised constructions going on in the hospital complex and said the matter would be looked into and in case any irregularity was detected, the necessary action would follow. However, the MC authorities were at pains to explain that why any action was not taken when the construction was going on and why the MC did not wake up from the slumber even after a case was filed in the court? It was for the hospital management to apply for the approval of building plans and in case the covered area was more than 1,000 sq yd, these would have to be sent to Chandigarh for approval, said an MC official. There were allegations that the hospital had encroached upon the road and using it as a temporary parking lot causing inconvenience to the people. Rana said he had brought it to the notice of the management that the building was unauthorised but it ignored and went ahead with the inauguration of the hostel building and construction of the ICU block. Interestingly, when the chairman of the trust, Rajiv Gupta, was asked about the unauthorised construction, he made a startling revelation that no building plan had been approved during the past few years by his predecessors.
