600 households without water for 4 days
Kharar, April 24 The area residents have been battling with the problem of water scarcity for the past five months. The colony gets water supply from two overhead water tanks.

Area residents said while many households had not been getting adequate supply of water for the past four months, the situation had become worse since past four days when the lone working tubewell’s pipes started leaking. Municipal council officials said the sewerage board has installed a new tubewell at the extension number 1 area and it would soon be made functional.

Golf club poll witnesses low turnout
Chandigarh, April 24 The fate of the presidential candidates, Raja Malvinder Singh and Lt-Col JS Panag, and the executive have been sealed in ballot boxes which will be opened for counting at 9 tomorrow morning. Compared to last year, the turnout this year was 150 voters less. The outgoing president, BS Gill, was a happy man as the elections were held in a calm and a peaceful atmosphere. Malvinder Singh and Colonel Panag agreed on this score. Malvinder Singh said: “It was a cool and healthy competition. The atmosphere was never vitiated by either side. I am happy and confident of making it.” Colonel Panag said: “Everyone was very cooperative. No complaints.” But he felt that the turnout of defence personnel was comparatively less. But he hastened to add that "even if 200 defence votes had been cast, the fight was going to be tough. At the AGM held earlier, which was attended by a mere 150 members of the 1,800 total strength, the 2010-11 budget was presented by the outgoing team. On the five-year roll-over plan to improve the fairways and give a facelift to the course, president BS Gill said he gave a synopsis of the plan which would be taken up at the next AGM to be held in May. This roll-on plan had been supported by Jeev Milkha Singh, who had appealed to all members before the last elections to back the five-year facelift plan. David Hemstock and Nic Davies, the golf course designers from the UK, were engaged in a six-month trial run to suggest course improvement matters in January 2010. The managing committee seem to be hesitant in placing the plan before the AGM because of the big cost involved. The cost could run into more than Rs 1 crore per annum if the full roll-on plan in implemented.
