Patiala, October 26
With the municipal corporation adopting a “casual” approach, makeshift encroachments on roadsides are increasing with every passing day. Shopkeepers in some areas have occupied footpaths and rehriwalas have taken over every nook and cranny of the town.

Though corporation authorities have time and again said they would initiate drive to remove all makeshift encroachments from outside of shops from different city areas, so far nothing concrete had been done.

Even if the tehbazari wing of the corporation removed makeshift encroachments, such encroachments were back the very next day.

Because of the temporary encroachments, the problem of traffic chaos in the town had also worsened.

“Congestion is caused by encroachments on the road by street vendors and shopkeepers. The problem can be sorted out only if the civic body imposes heavy penalty on violators,” said Rajesh Ahuja, a commuter.

A visit to different areas, including markets near Sherawala Gate, Chhoti Baradari, Rajindra Hospital, bus stand, Tripri, Gurbax Colony and Rajpura Colony, revealed that shopkeepers in many markets had extended their shops on to the road, covered footpath meant for pedestrians.

Information gathered by Chandigarh Tribune revealed that shopkeepers in many markets allowed rehriwalas to carry out business in front of their shops after charging them Rs 50 to Rs 100 per day.

“People continue to get caught up in traffic jams in the area at peak hours but the civic body is doing nothing to clear makeshift encroachments outside shops,” rued Jatinder Pannu, a resident of Model Town.

Many other residents said pedestrians and other passersby had to literally squeeze through the haphazard maze of rehris, kiosks and stalls in most markets.

“Though the corporation officials maintain that they are bound to remove encroachments on roads and footpaths in order to ensure smooth flow of traffic, action against violators has been taken on rare occasions. Even if the action is initiated, things are back to square one, as encroachments are back within a day,” said a housewife Shalini Gupta.

Kidnapping
Police accused of inaction
Tribune News Service

Ropar, October 26
The father of a 17-year-old girl, allegedly kidnapped three months ago, has accused the police of showing lackadaisical attitude in recovering his daughter and arresting the prime accused.

Chhote Khan, a resident of the Chhoti Haveli area, alleged that his daughter Nazreen was kidnapped on June 29. “Yunis from our area had kidnapped my daughter,” he alleged.

Acting on the complaint, the police registered a missing person’s report of Nazreen. Chhote Khan then approached the Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) after which the police registered a case of kidnapping.

Five accused in the case, including Yunis’s mother Sabri Begum, maternal uncle Dilawar Khan, cousin Aqeel Ahmed, uncle Deen Mohammad and brother Salim, were arrested in the case. Chhote Khan added that Yunis was married.

Ropar city police station SHO Manvir Singh said around a month ago he got a letter purportedly written by Nazreen that claimed that she had got married. “It was a registered letter and sent from somewhere in Bareily. A police team went to the address mentioned on the letter but failed to trace the girl,” he said.

Manvir added that it was highly improbable for the girl to write the letter as she was illiterate.

Meanwhile, Chhote Khan also claimed that he had received threat calls from Yunis. He alleged that the police was not making “sincere” efforts to trace his daughter.

“Yunis and his family are involved in criminal activity. I am afraid that my daughter had been pushed into flesh trade,” alleged Chhote Khan, father of six children.

SHO Manvir Singh said they were making efforts to arrest the accused and recover the girl.

CAT stay on military probe raises debate
Vijay Mohan
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, October 26
A court of inquiry (COI) has yet to start proceedings even after several months of it was ordered to investigate into the allegations of large-scale irregularities in military farms in Jammu and Kashmir.

One of the civilian employees whose name figures in the matter has obtained a stay from the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) against the COI’s convening order. This has also raised a legal question whether the CAT has the jurisdiction over the orders issued by the armed forces over issues pertaining to the functioning of military personnel and establishments.

Acting upon official reports, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command, had ordered the COI in June, with directions that its findings be submitted by October 30. Irregularities in the supply of fresh milk for troops, fraudulent hiring of civilian vehicles, lapses in procurement of fodder for animals, recruitment of permanent employees in violation of government policies and some controversy pertaining to construction of buildings are the issues to be investigated by the COI.

Besides Army personnel, MFs also employ civilians at various positions. Army sources said they were examining the legal implications of the CAT’s stay order.

Sources said the COI was not ordered specifically against any civilian employee, but to examine the overall functioning of some military farms.

The Chief of Staff of the Nagrota-based 16 Corps had been detailed as the COI presiding officer, with two Brigadiers as its members. Given the scale of procurement and the time frame over which the alleged irregularities were taking place, the financial misappropriation could run into crores of rupees. There are five military farms in J&K. Different irregularities were found at different farms. Sources said a number of witnesses, including some senior officers were moved to J&K to depose before the COI. Since the COI did not assemble for even a single day, it resulted in wasteful expenditure and loss of man-hours.

Another case concerning a Colonel from the military farms had been hanging fire since 2006, sources said. He had been held blameworthy for lack of supervision by a COI that assembled in 2006 and although summary of evidence was ordered about a year ago, the case was yet to be disposed of.

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, October 26
The police booked an Uttar Pradesh resident on the charges of repeatedly raping his 17-year-old distant cousin in Burail here on the pretext of marrying her.

The accused fled when the victim’s parents told him to marry her after learning that she was 8-month-old pregnant.

According to the police, the accused used to live in the vicinity of the victim and developed relationship with her. The victim told the police in her statement that they had an affair since February this year. The accused began making advances to her and forced her to develop physical relations with him, promising that he would marry her. She also told the police that the accused had started threatening her of dire consequences if she informed anyone about their relationship.

The victim’s parents told the police that they noticed the symptoms of pregnancy off late and after much persuasion, she disclosed that she was physically abused. She is a Class 9th student of a government school.

Cops hit dead end over hoax bomb caller
Also fail to unravel mystery surrounding ‘kidnapping’
Ramanjit Singh Sidhu
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, October 26
The Chandigarh police appears to be groping in the dark to establish the identity of the person who had made a bomb hoax call a day prior to AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi’s visit to the city as well as the mysterious incident of a group of “kidnappers” who supposedly abducted a man from Sector 24 on October 12.

Both incidents that occurred on two consecutive days about two weeks ago and kept the police on its toes due to the seriousness of the matter. However, the cops have so far failed to trace the suspects behind the incidents.

On October 13, a few hours before Rahul Gandhi’s arrival at Panjab University the police received a call saying a bomb had been planted outside the PGI’s main gate facing the varsity campus. The cops along with a bomb disposal squad rushed to the scene but after spending hours could not find any suspicious object.

The police’s cyber crime cell traced Amir Khan of Sialva Majri as the owner of the phone (90233-22301), which was used to make the hoax call. He told investigators he had lost his phone a couple of days ago and had reported the matter at the Sector 22 police post. Though the cops had been able to ascertain that the call was made from Sector 38-West, the proceedings failed to go beyond this.

Similarly, a day before the bomb hoax call, Jagdish Chaudary of Dhanas was “kidnapped” by a group of people from Sector 24 on October 12 at around 7:50 am. His wife reported the matter to the police after receiving a ransom call for Rs 9 lakh from the “kidnappers”. The police swung into action and traced the victim’s location near Samrala through his mobile phone, sending a police team there.

However, a few hours after the “kidnapping” Chaudary called his wife informing he had been “released” and was sitting at a ‘dhaba’. The family told the police the “kidnapper” had “freed” Chaudary after taking Rs 500 out of the Rs 4,000 in cash he was carrying, threatening to kidnap other members of his family if they failed to meet their ransom demand.

Though the police had doubted the incidents due to certain mismatches, it has so far failed to unravel the mystery behind the incident. The victim had left the cops in the dark about the description of his alleged kidnappers or their number. He also failed to give any idea about the vehicle in which he had been “kidnapped”.

A police officer said no one had seen the victim being kidnapped and released later in the day. “As the phone calls were made from Chaudary’s mobile phone and he was the only one to provide whatever information he had about the kidnappers, the case has reached a dead end”, he added.

The SHO of the Sector 11 police station said both the cops had reached a dead end in both incidents though investigations were on. He said they were trying their best to trace the missing links to unravel the mystery behind the incidents and would take stern action against whoever is found to be involved in them.
