Industrial Model Township
Ambala, October 6 According to sources, the government has to acquire around 2,000 acres for the project. A few months ago, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had announced to setup IMT at Ambala City. MLA Venod Sharma was of the view that the project would boost industrial growth in the region and would further generate job opportunities. A few years ago SEZ was also proposed for Ambala, but later it was deferred due to certain reasons. Recently hundreds of farmers of Panjokhra and adjoining villages gathered at Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib and decided to oppose the project. The farmers threaten a stir if the government didn’t reconsider its decision. The Sanghrash Samiti formed by the farmers has decided to contact other farmers’ unions of the state to make it a stale-level agitation. The land being acquired for the project falls under Ambala Cantonment constituency. BJP MLA Anil Vij, Ambala Cantonment, has offered support to the farmers. The INLD leaders have also supported the move. Several industrialist of twin city are supporting the IMT, but most village residents are of the view that farmers should not be thrown out of their parental land. Following the agitating mood among village residents, revenue department has not started the acquisition process so far. Recently the Prime Minister had directed the state government not to acquire the cultivated land. The farmers are hopeful that the state government would reconsider their project.

Consumer Courts
Chandigarh, October 6 The company has also been asked to pay the litigation cost of Rs 2,500. The complainant, Bharat Rai Verma, a resident of Sector 19, Panchkula, stated that he had been using Idea postpaid connection since August 12, 2008. In July, 2009, the complainant sent his first request for DND but he kept receiving unsolicited calls. Whenever he used to send a message for activation, he would receive a service reply that his DND service had already been activated. The complainant tried to resolve the matter with the company between November, 2009, and January, 2010, but to no avail. In its reply, the telecom company said the complainant had complained of unsolicited calls on July 8, 2009 whereupon he was advised to get himself registered for “do not disturb” service. The company further admitted that it had received request from the complainant for activation of the DND facility and the same was subsequently forwarded on the website of the Telephone Regulatory Authority of India and the DND facility was activated on his mobile connection. Pronouncing the orders, the forum held: “The opposite party had been unable to provide the DND services to the complainant despite all required actions and requests due to which the complainant was forced to keep his phone switched off for a long time. In our view, the complainant by way of documentary evidence has sufficiently proved deficiency in service and unfair trade practice on the part of the respondents causing him mental and physical harassment, including monetary loss, and for this act the respondents are liable to compensate the complainant.”

Travel agent held for molesting employee
Chandigarh, October 6 The police received information around midnight from a Delhi resident, identifying himself as Mohit and brother of the victim, that his sister could be raped in a hotel in Sector 17 as she had sent an SMS to him informing that her employer was making advances on her. Police station-17 SHO Jaswinder Singh said he sent an officer from the Neelam police post to the hotel and went to the scene himself as well. On reaching the hotel around 12.45 am, they found the victim emerging out of the hotel. She initially refused to talk to the police about the incident. However, on being questioned by the police, the girl alleged that her employer Malkiat Singh Sandhu had molested her in the hotel room and threatened her with dire consequences if she reported the matter to anyone. The police then detained the 33-year-old accused and took the victim to the police post for inquiry. The victim said she hailed from Indira Vihar in New Delhi and had been working with Sandhu, who is the managing director of Matrix Visa Consultant Private Limited, Amritsar, for the past three months. She had been living in Amritsar alone for over a year. But she refused to provide details about her parents and declined to give any contact number of her parents. She kept insisting that the police talked to Mohit. While she initially claimed Mohit to be her brother, she later started referring to him as her cousin. On the other hand, Sandhu claimed that she had introduced Mohit to him as her husband. The police said they told Mohit to come to Chandigarh to take custody of his sister, but he refused and instead told the police to send her alone to Delhi. The police told him that they would send the victim with a police escort to Delhi and hand her over to her family. Narrating the sequence of events, the victim said she had come to the city with Sandhu, who wanted to set up a branch of his visa consultancy services here. They were looking for some place to establish their office in the city and had hired two rooms in a hotel. They had a lunch together. In the evening, Sandhu came to her room for dinner and began making advances. Sensing trouble, she told the accused that she wanted to go to the washroom. From the washroom, she sent an SMS to Mohit seeking his help. Mohit further informed the police. However, when the police told her to show the SMS she had sent to Mohit, she claimed she had deleted it. A police officer said the accused was arrested in the case and was produced before a local court, which reminded him in judicial custody. The victim refused to get herself medically examined and the police would get details of her and Mohit’s mobile phones to corroborate the sequence of events with the statement recorded by them in the case.
