Young couple found dead
Fatehabad, June 24 The bodies of a boy and a girl, in their twenties, were found hanging from the ceiling of a room and it appears that the bodies had been hanging there for quite some time. The police said prima facie the case appeared to be one of suicide, though it did not rule out other possibilities. The bodies have been decomposed beyond recognition and the faces have turned black. The house, according to police sources, belonged to an advocate, who had shifted to some other state long back. Situated on the Ratia road in the town, the house had been lying deserted since then and the matter came to light when some people living in the vicinity complained that stench was emanating from the house for the past some days. Earlier they thought that some animal might have died in the dilapidated house, but were shocked to see the appalling scene when they went in to find out the truth. They found a boy and a girl hanging from a hook attached to the ceiling of the room. Both legs of the girl are badly mutilated and appeared to have been eaten by stray dogs. The police has sent the bodies to the general hospital after a team visited the site to collect evidence. “We will keep the bodies in the hospital for 72 hours for their identification and in case we fail to get any clue, we will dispose these of after postmortem,” said SP Jagwant Singh Lamba. He said circumstantial evidence available in the room pointed towards the possibility of suicide, as a number of bricks had been found stacked on a bed lying exactly under the hook from where the couple was found hanging. However, the exact cause of death, he said, would be known only after the postmortem.

Death due to Tubectomy
Sirsa, June 24 Rani (27) underwent a tubectomy operation at civil hospital here on June 14. Chaman Lal, brother of the victim, said she was discharged from the hospital immediately after the surgery, but complained of pain in abdomen the same evening. Her condition worsened on June 16, when she was again taken to the hospital, he added. “However, the doctors did not provide any medical aid and told us to rush her to the PGIMS, Rohtak,” Chiman Lal alleged. The victim died in the PGIMS, Rohtak, on June 18. Roshan Suchan, kin of the victim, alleged that the victim lost her life due to the negligent attitude of the operating surgeon as well as other health officials. He also stated that the patient was not provided any post-operative care. Dr Manish Singla, who operated the victim, has denied that there was any negligence on his part or on the part of any health official. “Tubectomy is a very minor surgery and requires no hospitalisation post operation. However, we always advise the patients to come for checkup in case they face any post-operative complications. The victim, as per kin’s statement, felt pain in the abdomen the same evening, but she was brought to the hospital two days later when her condition had deteriorated,” Singla said. He maintained that the victim had developed pancreatitis, an infection of the pancreas, by the time she was brought back to the hospital. Singla said as the deceased’s condition was not manageable at the local hospital, her kin were advised to shift her to the PGIMS without losing any time. Meanwhile, The DC said further action in the matter would be taken after he received a report from the Civil Surgeon. |

Power nigam gears up for paddy season
Sirsa, June 24 Sudhir Rajpal, DHBVN managing director, said the substations at Madhosinghana, Kharia, Sirsa and Badagudha would be augmented with in next two weeks by setting up additional transformers. He said the capacity of the substations at Panihari, Rori, Kalanwali, Rania, Kuttabarh and Bansudhar has already been hiked. The MD said DHBVN planned to construct 14 new 33-KV substations in the district to meet the increasing load and demand. Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPN) is also constructing five substations, including a 400-KV substation at Nuhianwali, a 220-KV substation at Chormar and three 132-KV substations at Khairkan, Dhudhianwali and Kurangawali. DHBVN and HVPN had a comprehensive plan of over Rs 300 crore to strengthen power transmission and distribution system in the district, Rajpal said. In addition, the Nigam has segregated agriculture and domestic load on rural feeders to give qualitative power supply to tubewells and three-phase supply to rural domestic consumers. Another big project to strengthen the system is high voltage distribution system - a power distribution system of international standard. The work has already been completed in about 250 villages of the district. Rajpal asked the officials to accelerate the work of release connections to below poverty line (BPL) families under the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana. Under the scheme, the Government of India has sanctioned projects worth Rs 12.34 crore on which the work has already been started. Under this plan, DHBVN will give free connections to 22,118 BPL families of the district. About 14,600 connections have already been released, Rajpal added. |

Farmers block highway over power shortage
Ambala, June 24 “Thousands of hectares of land in our district have dried up due to the drastic fall of power supply in the district. Power-run tube wells can lift only a little water,” said Darshan Singh, a resident of Naraingarh. “We fear huge losses in the current season, as we cannot afford to irrigate lands with diesel-run shallow pumps. Despite the government’s earlier declarations that farmers will get electricity for minimum eight hours, we get power for just three to four hours daily,” they alleged. |

Step to Check Corruption
Gurgaon, June 24 A decision to this effect was taken by the Haryana Financial Commissioner-cum-Principal Secretary (Revenue), Naresh Gulati, during a meeting held here yesterday. The meeting was attended by Gurgaon Divisional Commissioner TK Sharma and DCs of all districts under Gurgaon division, Gurgaon DC Rajender Kataria, Faridabad DC Parveen Kumar, Nuh (Mewat) DC CR Rana, Rewari DC A. Shreeniwas, Palwal DC Amit Aggarwal and Mahendergarh DC Vikas Gupta. Gulati directed the officials concerned to get the decision of opening more counters in tehsil offices implemented immediately at least in Gurgaon and Faridabad districts. He asserted that the registered deed had to be delivered to the purchaser on the same day after affixing seal and signatures of the sub-registrar. For facilitating the people, more than one counter should be opened in tehsil offices, where a totally dedicated sub-registrar for registering the sale deeds should be deputed. “The services of naib tehsildars (NT) posted as NT (Li-Mi), NT surplus and NT accounts can be utilised in addition to the regular naib tehsildars for discharging the job of sub-registrar,” he said, adding that these sub-registrars would sit at their counters simultaneously and separate days or weeks would not be fixed for them. The meeting observed that the amount paid under the table for getting the sale-deed registered was bringing a bad name to the government, as the general impression was that the share reaches to the top level. “This step would also give some relief to the tehsildars, who are already overburdened in the revenue cases and working as duty magistrates,” the meeting noted. |

Power staff stir from June 29
Rohtak, June 24 The JAC will stage ‘dharnas’ and demonstrations at all circles, divisional and chief engineer offices of the department. Stating this here yesterday, a spokesperson for the JAC said the state government was acting arbitrarily in the matter of privatising the power distribution work in the state and despite an assurance given to the union by the Power Minister of the state a few months ago, the authorities had been busy with carrying out the implementation of the privatisation by appointing a private concern as consultant and nodal officer at two cities for making the move a reality. Stating that while the government and its ministers talked of holding a debate and taking all parties concerned into confidence before such a move, he said the government on the other hand had been going on its own and without caring for the interests of the staff and the department.
