State plans huge investment in power sector
Sirsa, August 22 Under this plan, 174 new substations of different levels will be constructed and the capacity of the existing 98 substations will be augmented. The plan will be completed in three years in a phased manner so that the annual increase in load could be met. For connectivity of the new substations to the feeding sources, transmission lines of a length of 3,232 km will also be erected. Capt Ajay Singh Yadav, State Power Minister, stated this while addressing public meetings after inaugurating 132 kV substations each at Khairkan, Kurangawali and Dudhianwali villages. The minister also laid the foundation stone of 33 kV substations at Shergarh and Mallekan villages.

The first such substation has been commissioned at Kirodi village in Hisar to evacuate power generated at Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Station, Khedar. Another substation of 400 kV has been set up at Daultabad to evacuate power generated at Indra Gandhi Thermal Power Plant, Jharli. Three more 400 kV substations are being constructed at Nuhianwali in Sirsa, Dhanauda in Mahendragarh and Navada in Faridabad.

Power workers threaten to gherao Assembly
Jind, August 22 The union has threatened to resort to agitation if the government fails to extend the employment of the staff facing retrenchment at this stage. It has warned to lay a siege to the state Assembly during the coming monsoon session. A spokesperson for the AHPWU said here recently that the policy of the government to outsource the employment and hire workers on a contractual basis had come to a stage where it had started showing its negative fallout as around 3,000 employees could face the axe. Charging the government with putting at stake the employment of a large number of employees, he said the denial of extension of their services now was a proof of the motives of the authorities. These employees had completed their contractual employment on August 2 and had been awaiting further extension, but it is learnt that the authorities had been preparing to hire new staff with fresh advertisement, claimed the union leader. He said if the authorities went ahead with the policy, it would render a large number of employees jobless each year. He said while the union affiliated to the Sarva Karamcharis Sangh, Haryana, had already staged protests at the district headquarters and submitted a memorandum to the Power Minister and other officials, the sangh and the union would be forced to step up the stir in the near future and the announcement of laying a siege to the state Assembly was a part of this move. Asking the government not only to regularise the services of these employees immediately and unconditionally, but the union has also demanded the recovery of the benefits, including the PF and the ESI contribution, allegedly gobbled up by the contractual agencies through which they were given employment in 2008.

Family celebrates birth of girl child
Sirsa, August 22 The “Kuan Pujan” ceremony organised recently by a Jat rural family at Khyowali village in Sirsa to celebrate the birth of a girl child was an example of such hope for a positive change. Mamta Godara (28), wife of Kamalvir, gave birth to their second daughter a few days ago and the family organised the function to celebrate the birth of the new arrival in their home. The family has named the little one as Palak. The couple has another daughter Dimple (5). “I consider girls as equal to boys and my wife has gone for tubectomy surgery after our second daughter,” said Kamalvir. Mamta added that she never longed for a male child and through her efforts, she wanted to give a message to the society that girls are no less than boys. She said people should shun sex determination of unborn children and stop killing the female foetus. “Kuan Pujan” is performed in the Jat heartland of Haryana conventionally at the birth of a son. Tradition has it that praying to the well, the only source of water in olden times and the lifeline of the village, will not only bring good luck for the newborn son, but will also earn the blessings of the God in the process ensuring that the next birth in the family too is a son.

Health Dept to seek local volunteers
Gurgaon, August 22 He was addressing a meeting of senior administrative and health officials of Gurgaon, Mewat, Faridabad and Palwal districts here recently. Sharma has directed the officials concerned of the Health Department to rope in the private hospitals, paramedical institutes, residents’ welfare associations, the Indian Medical Association, NGOs and other social and voluntary organisations to ensure the success of the Pulse Polio campaign. The commissioner reviewed the action plan prepared for the next round of the Pulse Polio drive scheduled to begin on August 28. “All of these four districts are in the high-risk zone due to high density of migrant labourers,” Sharma pointed out and added that the authorities needed to be more vigilant so that not even a single child was left out of the Pulse Polio drive. He directed the officials to identify the pockets and clusters of labourers which are usually neglected. He also asked them to deploy more mobile teams. Managing director of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) Rakesh Gupta asserted that the civil surgeons should take the lead in organising the Pulse Polio rounds and ensure that polio drops are administered to all children up to 5 years of age. He asked the civil surgeons to convene a review meeting of supervisors on a daily basis during the rounds so that the discrepancies noticed on that particular day can be removed the next day. Gupta asked the programme officers of the Integrated Child Development Scheme to instruct the aanganwari workers to prove their commitment to the campaign. He asked the civil surgeons to install audio-visual publicity equipment during the campaign, especially at the bus stands, railway stations and traffic light to spread awareness about the campaign. At the meeting, it was also demanded that the date of administering polio drops in Gurgaon, Faridabad and other nearby areas in the NCR should be the same as Delhi to avoid any confusion. Gupta assured the participants that he would take up the issue with the
Centre.

NGO opens orphanage at Fatehabad
Fatehabad, August 22 Their father, Puran Chand, was a farmer and he lost his life to a freak accident four years ago. Dharam Pal remembers that his father climbed on a “sangree” tree and broke his backbone in an accidental fall from the tree. Puran was bedridden for a few months and later died in want of proper medical care. A year later, their mother too died due to an ailment. Since then Dharam Pal and Sonu had been living
with their grandparents in the village. However, their uncle, who had to pay for their upkeep, was not willing to keep them and their aunt used to beat them for trivial reasons. Thanks to a home for orphaned children started here by an NGO, Utthan Sewa Samiti, the two brothers have now found a dignified abode for them. Chief Parliamentary Secretary Prahlad Singh Gillankhera inaugurated the orphanage here recently. Along with Dharam Pal and Sonu, several other orphaned children of the area have also found a home for them.

Symposium on Indian economy held
Yamunanagar, August 22 MM Goel, Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Kurukshetra University, said, “Let Europe - the storehouse of global black money - reveal the amount and owners of Indian black money. Let the Centre agree with Europe to keep the revealed money as interest-free loan for 3 years for their economic bailout, instead of getting loan through the International Monetary Fund.” He said: “For inclusive growth in society, we need commitment of politicians to serve the nation”. Good governance should be ensured in tune with changing business environment, but with “Trusteeship” of Mahatma Gandhi and “Creative Capitalism” of Bill Gates, he added. Goel said the government should adopt land acquisition policy based on the public-private partnership model with auction of land to the units coming forward for the Special Economic Zones. It would directly benefit the owners on one hand and the government on the other with suitable fee structure for auction and development charges for providing infrastructure. Des Raj Goel, president of the governing body of Maharaja Agrasen Institutions, offered four-fold formula of self-determination, vision, discipline and honesty to fight all social evils. PK Bajpai, principal of Maharaja Agrasen College, Jagadhri, ascertained that Gandhian trusteeship and constructive programmes together offered a solution to the current economic problems of the world.

Price Rise
Hisar, August 22 Addressing a rally at the Old Government College grounds, he said the prices had gone up whenever either of the two parties was in power. These parties when in power colluded with business houses to raise prices artificially. He said the country had not faced any natural calamities like floods or drought, which could have created food shortages. This clearly indicated that business houses and the government had joined hands to loot people of this country, he added. The BSP leader said there had been a record increase in prices during the past seven years. The UPA government had not shown any inkling to check price rise, which itself was evidence of its collusion with business houses. He said the poor were becoming poorer and the rich were getting richer through such tactics. It was time for people to break this nexus so that the poor in the country could at least eat two square meals a day. Claiming that he had not come to Hisar in view of the impending Lok Sabha bypoll, Raja Ram said his party’s rally was to create awareness among people of the state against rising prices, corruption and social injustice. He said people should see the real face of the Congress and the BJP and vow to never bring any of these to power in any state or the Centre. He said the BSP had finished both these parties in UP.

Cases of forgery, cheating against former sarpanch
Rewari, August 22 The Kosli police has registered a case of cheating, forgery, criminal breach of trust and criminal conspiracy against Gajraj Singh, a former sarpanch of Jhal village, and Omkar Singh, a BPL card holder of the same village. The case has been registered on the directive of the court of SDJM PK Lal, who has issued it on a petition filed by Shiv Kumar, a resident of the same village. Alleging misappropriation of panchayat funds, the petitioner contended that Omkar, in connivance with Gajraj Singh, the then sarpanch of Jhal village, dishonestly obtained Rs 1,200 twice - first in the name of Omkar Singh, son of Nathu Ram, and secondly as Dhala, son of Nathu Ram - from the panchayat fund in 2008 by way of financial grant available to BPL families for the construction of latrines in their houses, whereas, Gajraj Singh fraudulently submitted a list of 23 beneficiaries to the government when their actual number stood at 22. Observing the petitioner’s allegations as true prima facie, the court issued the above directive to the police. Similarly in a second such case, the Kosli police, on the directive of the SDJM’s court, has booked Gajraj Singh as well as a villager Vijay Singh, a beneficiary of old-age pension, for cheating, forgery, criminal breach of trust, association with vicious persons and criminal conspiracy. The petitioner, Rohtash, alleged that Vijay, in connivance with Gajraj, fraudulently got old-age pension sanctioned for himself in 2010, when he was actually much below the age of 60 years, while Gajraj deliberately overlooked his actual date of birth - April 1, 1953 - as shown in the school records. Noting the allegations as flawless, the court directed the police to register the case against the duo. A police official said the matter was now under investigation.

Three murders rock Rewari
Rewari, August 22 A young trader Bharat Bhushan (22) was thrashed, tied and hanged to a ceiling fan till death in his room at Bawal late on Friday night by members of a family of the Gujjar community. An altercation over a trivial issue had led to this gruesome murder. The Bawal police registered a case of murder and criminal trespass against Golu Gujjar, Ajit Singh Gujjar, his two sons - Sushil and Lala- and three others. The trader’s murder has caused a wave of indignation among the trading community of Bawal.

Satbir, who was a taxi driver, had been missing since August 16. A senior police official said the killers had thrown the body into the well apparently to destroy evidence of the crime. Besides, the recovery of the body of an unidentified youth from a bushy area near Majra village on Saturday has virtually put the Khol police of the district on tenterhooks. A senior police official said the youth was shot dead by the assailants, who then dumped the body at the above spot.

Over 1,500 apply for power connections in Kaithal
Kaithal, August 22 A spokesperson for the Nigam said here recently that these villages had 3,800 houses with over 1,387 domestic connections. Out of these, 727 consumers were not paying their bills regularly. A number of residents were drawing electricity through ‘kundi’ connections or other unfair means. He said the Nigam removed the bare conductor and made arrangements for power supply through Rs 2-crore PVC to the regular bill payers. It helped in minimising the pilferage of power and reduction in aggregated technical and commercial losses of these villages. The Nigam persuaded the residents to have separate connections and pay their bills timely. He further stated that the Nigam had approved the construction of a 33-kV sub-station at Kailram. Over 11 overloaded feeders had been identified for bifurcation to supply electricity with better voltage. The proposal to augment the capacity of 33-kV sub-station in Balu was also being considered. The spokesperson added that the Nigam had also commissioned a 220-kV substation at Batta village.
