e-governance project of mc: door-to-door survey from october 25
Jalandhar, October 21 While the firm is in the process of getting a satellite imagery of the cityscape from a Hyderabad-based National Remote Agency, its representatives here have started preparing ground for beginning to carry out a door-to-door survey from next week. Over 2 lakh estimated properties falling in the MC limit are likely to be surveyed in a period of five months with as many as 50,000 to be covered in a month’s time. A team of 100 persons and their group leaders will work wardwise to fill up a two-page performa. The performa will carry details regarding the owner, occupant, relation between the owner and occupant (son, relative, tenant, etc), its use, total area, covered area, type of water supply (through submersible, hand pump, etc), details of recently paid house tax, electricity, water supply and sanitation bills. The Graphic Information System is being started to prepare a record of illegal water supply connections and to keep a tab on hundreds of defaulters of house tax and building bylaws. More attributes such as those for birth and death registration and other details are likely to be added at a later stage. Padam Saini, a technical expert with the RMSI, opined, “We have been given a general classification of the areas. We have been provided with a list of some good areas (where the number of defaulters is least) and some bad
ones (where the defaulters are maximum). In the beginning of the pilot exercise, we have decided to take one good and one bad area.” A.S. Dhaliwal, project in charge and SE (O&M), said the project would formally take off only when they get the imagery report around next month. “Till then pilot project, ground details and course of plan are being finalised,” he said. He added that the project would come up at a cost of Rs 80 lakh, with Rs 44 lakh meant for collecting details of each property unit. He said, “Once the database gets ready, the entire system for payment of water supply and sanitation bills, house tax and receiving of birth and death certificates will be reorganised to make it a single window system for the convenience of the residents. All branches concerned of the corporation will be integrated through networking. The entire existing record will be uploaded for the same purpose. The record will be put on the official website so that any one can track the status of his certificate or take printouts of bills.” |

But on the other hand, Punjab BJP President Ashwini Sharma has given clearance to the appointment of Duggal as district BJYM president. Talking to The Tribune today, Sharma said the BJP as the parent organisation of the BJYM has constitutional rights to appoint an activist on a post, if BJYM leadership could not reach unanimity on some issue. Taking serious notice of the press conference organised by some BJP leaders against the appointment of Duggal, Sharma said these BJP leaders had violated the party discipline and disciplinary action would be taken against those who violate discipline by taking the internal matters of the party to the media. |

Surjit Hockey Tournament
Jalandhar, October 21 The initiative was taken by the Surjit Hockey Society, with an aim to rope in the maximum spectators to make the tournament a success. Even huge billboards have been put up across the city to publicise the game. The organising committee has been witnessing this problem for the past many years. Under the free Nano offer, lucky coupons are being distributed among spectators while the draw would be held on October 23, the concluding day of the tournament. The spectators, instead of watching matches, prefer to collect the coupons and leave the stadium. However, the final day of the tournament might turn out to be a saving grace as those who have taken the lucky coupons are expected to turn up to check their prize. Avtar Singh, a resident of Maqsudan, who took a lucky coupon, said he would surely reach the stadium on the final day to check his prize. “The offer is good but there is nothing much to watch in a hockey match. I am more interested in getting the Nano car than the matches,” he said. Organising secretary Iqbal Singh Sandhu said spectators would definitely turn up on the final day. “The Nano car would be presented to the lucky winner who shall be present in the stadium. The tournament committee would wait for the winner for an hour from the time of the announcement of the prize. In case the winner fails to report, the Nano car would be treated as property of the society,” he added. |
