Two labourers killed after wall caves in
Chandigarh, May 12 The site was of an upcoming commercial complex, ‘Acropolis’(plot number 68), a venture of Mirage Infra Limited, owned by Vijay Singla, kin of Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Member of Parliament from Chandigarh Pawan Kumar Bansal. The incident took place around noon at the plot near the CTU workshop. The construction of the complex was being done by Shiv Gahlot and Sons. At least 200 migrant labourers hailing from Bihar and Jharkhand were working at the site when the incident took place. Around eight labourers were constructing a wall in the 40-foot-deep pit when the wall collapsed. As the wall started to crumble, six labourers had a narrow escape while the remaining two workers were trapped in the debris. A team of the police as well as fire tenders of the fire brigade reached the spot and initiated rescue operations, which lasted for an hour. Both labourers were rushed to the Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, where they were declared brought dead. They were identified as 17-year-old Sanjay and 19-year-old Arun, who were cousins hailing from Bihar. The police said a case of causing death due to negligence under Section 304-A of the IPC was registered against Shiv, contractor of
the construction company. Enraged after the death of the two workers, a mob of angry labourers ransacked the office of the construction company at the site. The police had to be pressed into service to control the mob. An amount of Rs 5 lakh was reportedly missing from the office after the labourers left, but the police could not confirm it.

A ‘dead body’ that never was
Chandigarh, May 12 “The police came calling at my house at 1.30 am and began looking for a ‘dead body’. Over a dozen policemen cordoned off my Sector-43 residence, turned things upside down and loaded me and my family with all sorts of questions, only to return empty handed. The cops came to investigate a call at the PCR, informing them that a ‘murder’ had taken place at the house,” said the advocate. While the caller played a prank, the police had, till now, made no attempt to identify the hoax caller, who caused plenty of harassment to a family for no fault of theirs. The SHO of the Sector-36 police station, inspector Sukhbir Rana, said someone called up the PCR that a murder had taken place at house number 1127 in Sector 43 and the body was lying inside the house. “I fully cooperated with the police and they began searching my house. They left in an hour after recording the statements of my family. They searched my tenant’s accommodation on the first floor, too. However, the police made no effort to identify the caller because of whom my family as well as the police were harassed,” said Puri. “We are unable to identify the caller. He called up the PCR, saying a murder had been committed at a house. We could not have taken any chances,” said Rana.

Blockade over police inaction
Mohali, May 12 The villagers lamented that the police had failed to arrest Goldy, the suspect behind the incident. Police reinforcements had to be rushed to control
the situation and lift the blockade. The blockade was lifted after ASI Paramjit Singh of the Sohana police station, investigating the case, was suspended and the investigation transferred to the Phase-8 police station. A few days ago, the girl, Sukhwinder, was admitted to the PGI with 50 per cent burn injuries, following which an attempt-to-murder case was registered against Goldy, who had allegedly demanded Rs 5,000 from her. She was later discharged from the PGI. Her condition suddenly deteriorated today and she died. Subsequently, the attempt-to-murder case was converted into a murder case. The police were conducting raids to arrest the suspect.

City lad 70th in civil services exam
Chandigarh, May 12 Despite having completed 16 months of training in the IRS, Harjinder had continued preparations for the UPSC exam and finally entered the top 100 in his last attempt. “Although I had joined the IRS, I felt that I was
contributing indirectly to the country. Making it to the IAS meant expanding the horizon of serving the country and making a direct contribution in the administrative sphere,” he said. It was a pleasant surprise for Harjinder, who was expecting the results to be declared on May 10. “I got my present just a day late,” he added. “In fact, I thought that since city aspirants had been scoring great in the past few years, my rank would be much lower. This is why I did not give any interview or talk to mediapersons much on yesterday,” he said. An alumnus of Manav Mangal School, Sector 21, Harjinder’s result came as a surprise to his parents. “My mother, Gurdev Kaur, could not believe that I had managed a decent rank since she thought that I could make more effort in the written exam. My father, Chaman Lal, was relaxed and told me that I could make it to the top,” he said. “The examination pattern was certainly different from past year. This is the reason several aspirants were apprehensive. A lot of situational questions were asked this time, which tested one’s decision-making power. For those who had been preparing diligently, there was a drastic change in the exam pattern this time,” he added.

North-South divide puts UT babus on backfoot
Food for thought for UT
babus
Chandigarh, May 12 The self-congratulatory mode of senior officers during an interaction with the Adviser to UT Administrator, KK Sharma, at the UT Guest House was disrupted when it was pointed out that Phase III sectors (Sector 48 onwards) virtually did not have any government schools, dispensaries and bus queue shelters and had erratic power and water supplies and potholed roads. Sharma,
who joined here only about three weeks back, apparently did not have backrground of the ‘stepmotherly’ treatment meted out to southern sectors. UT Home Secretary Ram Niwas and Finance Secretary VK Singh did some damage control for the UT administration. Conceding that southern sectors had been neglected over the years, Ram Niwas claimed that efforts were being made to develop these sectors at a par with northern sectors. With that end in view, major gardens, including the Valley of Animals, the Garden of Palms and the Japanese Garden, besides the
Beant Singh Memorial, were being developed on a war footing, he added. VK Singh stated that several new development projects, such as a state-of-the-art trauma centre, a 300-bed hospital, besides schools, dispensaries and bus queue shelters, were in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Sharma’s booklet ‘Chandigarh- making strides during 2010-11’ by the Department of Public Relations, largely focused on the administration’s achievements, including heritage preservation, sprucing up of the Sukhna Lake and upgrade of health and education sectors in the
northern parts.

UT Adviser bats for development projects
Highlights
Chandigarh, May 12 “We will take up the matter with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) soon to accelerate the development works in the city,” he added. Batting for Metro project, the Adviser said the administration was also looking at the feasibility of having dedicated bus lanes on some routes in the city to decongest the traffic and was planning to take help from Punjab Engineering College and IIT, Delhi. Sharma stressed that integrated planning was a must in Chandigarh’s peripheral areas. “It’s important that the administrations of Chandigarh and its satellite towns work together so that problems like congestion on roads can be solved,” he said. Answering a question on the notices issued by the UT Administration to the violators, who constructed houses outside “lal dora” in the village, Sharma said the master plan for the city, which was being finalised would take care of the notices issued. Home Secretary Ram Niwas said action against officials in the booth scam would be taken after a legal opinion from the UT. Top brass of the city were present during the meeting, including Home Secretary Ram Niwas, Finance Secretary VK Singh, Deputy Commissioner Brijendra Singh, Inspector General of Police PK Srivastava and Chandigarh SSP Naunihal Singh. When asked about mushrooming of illegal paying guest accommodations (PGs) in the city, especially in the southern sectors, the Deputy Commissioner admitted that virtually negligible PGs have got themselves registered. “We are trying to work out a policy. Some issues have come up regarding PGs and we will soon take action,” the DC said. Meanwhile, Suvidha, a handbook of procedures pertaining to the construction and usage of buildings in Chandigarh, compiled by Seema Handa, law officer, “Chandigarh-making rapid strides during 2010-11” was released by the Adviser.

Metro DPR chugs off
Chandigarh, May 12 Sarvjit Singh, chief administrator, GAMADA, deliberated upon finalising the route and terminal stations for both the corridors to be completed in the first phase. While the north-south corridor will run from a site close to the Capitol Complex near secretariat to Punjab and Haryana High Court, Rock Garden, UT Secretariat, Sector 9, Sector 17, Sector 22, Sector 35 and ISBT-43 to Aerocity in Mohali. The east-west corridor will start from Sector 21, Panchkula, and lead to Railway Station, Chandigarh, Sector 17 Plaza, PGI and Sarangpur and end at Mullanpur. The construction of depots for both these routes requires 25 acres. Meanwhile, Haryana has communicated that it had the required land to be given to the Metro project at Sector 21 in Panchkula, whereas Punjab is also offering two sites for depots of both the routes one at Mullanpur and the other one at Aerocity. Now, detailed alignment has to be decided especially for the further expansion plan of the Chandigarh railway station in consultation with officers of Ambala Division. According to a press note, nodal officers have to finalise the locations of proposed stations in their territory. Roughly the elevated portion will have stations at every one km and in the underground portion it will be at an average distance of 1.2 km. VK Singh said administration wanted the Metro project to be a reality soon. Sarvjit stressed upon the need to extend the east-west route up to Zirakpur from Sector 21, Panchkula. DMRC and RITES officials were of the view that this would require more deliberation and examination. These alignments and station plan would have to be approved by respective governments. The DMRC promised that the DPR, along with the proposed financial model, will be submitted within six months.

Internet fraudsters target SBI online users
Chandigarh, May 12 One may have heard of the “advance fee frauds” where gullible people are lured to pay hefty sums of money in the hope of bigger gains but the fraudsters - said to be Nigerians - are now circulating mails, apparently among SBI account holders, asking them to “verify” their internet banking login details in order to “activate” their “restricted accounts”. An SBI customer, Bipasha, who has her account in the bank’s Sector 17 branch, received an email ostensibly informing her that her account had been “restricted” due to “nonactivity”. The mail, generated from onlinesbialert@sbi.com, said: “Your account has been placed on restricted status. Restricted accounts continue to receive payments, but they are limited in their ability to send or withdraw funds. To lift this restriction, you need to confirm your identity. All restricted accounts have their billing information unconfirmed. To initiate the confirmation process click here”. The moment one clicks on the link, a page that is identical to the SBI Online login page, with even a virtual keypad (an added security feature on most bank websites), opens and ask the unsuspecting customer to fill in the details - username name, login password and transaction password. These three details are sufficient to conduct online transactions from the account. Though it is still not certain whether this email has been circulated en mass or specifically among SBI account holders, the fact that an existing customer has received such a mail raises suspicions about the possibility of data theft by those having access to the bank’s backend process. In the backdrop of the ATM withdrawal frauds that hit SBI recently, the threat of data theft gets all the more worrisome, said a backend operations official on condition of anonymity. However, Anil Agarwal, chief manager of internet banking, SBI, said the bank’s customers need not worry as such phishing (a way of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication) are quite common in the banking sector. However, he warned all customers not to not to give their profile name and password to any website. "The SBI website never asks for any password or personal details from their customers," he said. Assuring “tight security systems” are in place, Agarwal said: “If anyone has fallen prey to these scams and given away their password they should immediately contact their bank branch or send an email to cminb.lhocha@sbi.co.in”.

Now, residents can access MC agenda online
Chandigarh, May 12 It has also been decided that all the members of the finance and contract committee (F&CC) will also get the agenda of the meeting on their official emails from this month. Officials in the corporation said to check the response of the agenda on email, the department has started a pilot project of sending it to the members of F&CC on councillor’s email. The department has not started the project of sending agenda to the councillors on email, as it’s a lengthy document, which can’t be downloaded in one go. In fact majority of the councillors are not Internet-friendly, so they would not be able to access the agenda online. MC joint commissioner Kamlesh initially rather than emailing the agenda to all the 35 councillors it will be placed on the official website. In March, councillors had pointed out at the House meeting that since authorities had issued laptop to all the councillors so the agendas should be sent on their emails, which will save paper used for printing the agenda. But some councillors objected that as they were not Internet savvy, it would be difficult for them to access the agenda. However, MC Mayor Ravinder Pal Singh directed the officials that as a pilot project they should send agenda on email as well as a printed copy to the councillors for a few months. Presently, the corporation is putting the minutes of the House meeting and F&CC agendas on official website.

New booking system of LPG cylinders
Mohali, May 12 The three Indian Oil LPG distributors in Mohali were asked to stop booking gas cylinders at their level and were directed to tell customers that the gas could now be booked only through IVRS. Sources said the new system would be formally inaugurated next week, most probably by the Governor of Punjab. Trial run of the system is being carried out at present in Chandigarh and Mohali. It is learnt that in compliance with the orders received from the higher authorities, the Indian Oil LPG distributors were not booking any gas at their own level here. The bookings were stopped around midday on May 10. The distributors have told customers that Indane gas cylinders could now be booked anytime by calling up 9781324365. This sudden change over the past two days left some customers in a fit of rage when the distributors refused to book their gas when they went to their office in this regard. It became difficult for the staff of the distributors to convince customers in connection with the new system leading to even heated exchanges between them. Residents earlier booked gas by either going to the office of the distributor or by ringing up at his office. Sources said that persons who did not have any phone or were too old were finding it very difficult to book their gas. Such persons used to go to the office of the distributor to get the booking done. Moreover, only three bookings could be done from one phone after which the IVRS system rejected the request. Chetan Patwari, Deputy Manager, LPG sales, said whenever a new system was introduced people faced some problems. “They will get used to the change in about two months time,” he added. He said the new system was introduced for the benefit of consumers. “They could now book their gas anytime 24 hours a day throughout the year. Earlier, they had to book it through phone or by going to the distributor personally,” he said. The phone line of the distributor remained busy most of time as a result of which consumers had to try again and again. Booking could not be done on Sundays or on other holidays as offices of distributors remained closed. He further said that the consumer would now get an SMS that his gas had been booked and later another message that his cylinder had been delivered. This would help in checking diversion of gas cylinders as complaints in this regard were received earlier. Only three requests in connection with booking of gas could be entertained from one telephone to check black marketing.

Mohali City Bus Service Proposed fare Up to 5 km: Rs 10 5 km to 10 km: Rs 15 Above 10 km: Rs 20
Mohali, May 12 Expecting coverage of 6,000 km per month, a sub-committee of experts working on the viability of the buses operation has proposed introduction of 30 low-floor AC buses. The viability report has been prepared after studying the fare structure, operational areas and nature of service being provided by the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU). Officials feel that the satellite towns are emerging urban settlements where the flow of traffic towards Mohali and Chandigarh was the maximum. Since the state transport undertakings of Punjab and the CTU did not run any dedicated public transport system between these townships and Chandigarh, the proposed City Bus Service would be an instant success. The project to start the bus service is already running behind schedule by two months. Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal is keen on starting the bus service. The Punjab Transport Corporation (PRTC) is also keen on tying up with the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) under a unique Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) model to run the AC bus service. PRTC managing director Manvesh Singh Sidhu and GMADA chief administrator Saravjit Singh have been holding discussions on the issue. The sub-committee has worked out the total operational cost at Rs 58.20 per km. Under the SPV model, it had been proposed to run low-floor buses for local routes between Mohali and Chandigarh, semi-low-floor buses on routes between peripheral townships and Mohali and mini-buses to run on shorter routes and congested roads within Mohali. The mini-buses would also run on routes between different sectors and important destinations such as the Mohali bus stand, Mohali district administrative complex and the Sector 43 inter-state bus terminus in Chandigarh. The buses will run from the East to the West edge of the horizontally planned town. Under the model of revenue, the PRTC has projected revenue earnings from monthly passes, from advertisement rights on buses and fixed charges from GMADA for operating, maintaining and the upkeep of buses.

They added that in a wake of the student council election in the next four to five months, some stern action was required on individuals, who were not working according to the party guidelines.

IRS trainees crack civil services exam
Chandigarh, May 12 Amit scored an all-India rank 269 last year, while Menaka grabbed rank 335 and both decided to join the IRS, which was being offered to them as per their ranks. “I did not want to limit myself to one discipline or only to revenue or tax department. Getting in the IAS means one gets more opportunity to serve through various departments. This was my fifth attempt and I am glad I could make to the top few,” said Menaka, who is currently doing her PhD on civil society and development. She had done her masters in public management and MPhil (law and governance). Amit, who hails from Sonepat, chose public administration and geography, as his subjects for the Civil Services main exam and managed rank 11 in his third attempt. “I have been receiving calls from home since the declaration of the result. By August end, we are likely to report for our training.” Yet another trainee at the IT department, Devi Reddy Swapna, got rank 133 this year. She had also chosen to enter the IRS last year and continued to attempt for the exam after
that. — TNS
