Admn scraps recruitment of 144 CTU conductors
Chandigarh, August 23 Criminal cases would be initiated against the nine candidates, sources said, adding that the recruitment process was scrapped following a nod from UT Administrator Shivraj Patil. Though there were no interviews for the selection and the UT administration had outsourced the selection process to Panjab University, the selection of an overwhelming number of candidates from Haryana had raised eyebrows. About 30,000 candidates had appeared for the examination, of which 144 were selected. Of these, 139 belonged to Haryana while only two were from Punjab and only one from Chandigarh. It had also been alleged that many candidates who were declared successful and had scored over 90 marks were not even able to properly fill in their forms. Some were unable to write their names, which were later corrected by making handwriting changes in the forms. When the then Director (Transport) TPS Phoolka brought these facts to the notice of the higher authorities, a five-member committee headed by Phoolka was formed to verify antecedents of selected candidates. Acting on a petition alleging large-scale irregularities in the recruitment process for CTU conductors, the Central Administrative Tribunal stayed the final appointment of 144 candidates in May. It had also issued a notice to Ram Niwas following allegations that he had facilitated his favourites and acquaintances to these posts. The petition had been filed by a number of unsuccessful candidates, who alleged gross irregularities. The recruitment had also rocked the Punjab Vidhan Sabha recently, with the SAD-BJP alliance and the Opposition unanimously demanding the scrapping of the recruitment in the backdrop of alleged favouritism by Ram Niwas in favour domicile Haryana candidates.

Sec 144 no damper
Chandigarh, August 23 Although there was heavy security on the lanes leading to the PM’s house, the protesters managed to reach in front of house 727 and raise anti-corruption slogans. Activists of the NGO Aawaaz sat outside the PM’s house and raised slogans against the government. The police turned out to be a mere spectator while they protested for over 45 minutes. There were protests outside Bansal’s house, following which security was beefed up near the house. Members of the India Against Corruption staged a protest there. A few members sat in protest at a park opposite the house. In the evening, IT professionals joined them. Security was also beefed up outside the houses of Kapil Sibal and Ambika Soni to avoid any untoward incident.

‘Outsiders’ nabbed by cops in DAV College
Chandigarh, August 23 The outsiders had managed college identities by showing forged admission slips and also tampered with identity cards of genuine students for making their entry. In two separate incidents, the police nabbed the “visitors” who were engaged in campaigning activity in connection with the forthcoming elections in September. While the “outsiders” were caught and warned to go outside the college in the first case, the Tribune reporter witnessed a police constable holding an outsider by his neck in the second case and dragging him outside the college gate. In a separate incident, around 12:30 pm, yet another outsider was seen shouting, at the top of his voice, that he had sustained an injury in his leg while he was attempting to run away from the police. He was caught, along with another outsider, in front of college administrative block. When contacted, Station House Officer (SHO) of the Sector 3 police station, Poonam Dilawari, said, “When these students were apprehended, they claimed to have come to college with regard to admission of their cousins. We don’t have any complaint against them nor anything indiscriminating to hold
them. Seeing the situation, we were fully geared to handle any untoward situation.” The college went into an immediate correction mode and deployed additional security at the college gate, right after the first incident in the morning. Showcasing the “planned agenda and corresponding plan” outsiders still managed to sneak into the campus. A senior student commented, “The college had a very long period of indefinite leadership when we had two principals. The overall discipline has deteriorated and this has led to a lot of outside interference, which the college needed to guard against.” “Students are fully aware that regular checks are being conducted outside and inside DAV College. Yet they dared to get inside the college with the intention to create mischief. Else why would they be running off when we spot them?” said a policeman on duty outside DAV college. It was only when the police cross-checked the driving licences of a few outsiders and tallied these with the admission slips that their fake identity was established.

Uphill task at Estate Office
Chandigarh, August 23 For the past one month, the lift at the three-storeyed public building is out of order and no official seems to be bothered about the issue. Ironically, the building houses the offices of the UT Deputy Commissioner (DC) Brijendra Singh, Assistant Estate Officer (AEO) Rahul Gupta, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) ML Sharma and Land Acquisition Officer (LAO) Tilak Raj. The colony and rehri cell of the Estate Office and offices of the local tehsildars and Naib-Tehsildars are also
“I have to visit the office twice or thrice in a month for some of my works. Most times, I found the lift to be out of order. The DC of the city sits here. Why doesn’t he (the DC) think of the plight of the people like me?” rued Romila Lal (name changed on request), a physically challenged woman from The offices of the DC and ADC are on the first floor, the AEO and LAO offices are on second and third floors, respectively. In the absence of functional lift, many persons, including senior citizens and patients, who are not advised to use stairs, have no other option but to use staircase. The problem becomes acute for physically challenged persons. Sixty-five-year-old Dilbagh Singh (name changed), who frequently visited the LAO office in connection with compensation of his land, lamented that he had bypass surgery three years ago and had been advised against using stairs by doctor. “The officials, whom I meet, sit on the third floor. One can well imagine my condition when I get no other option but to use the stairs to reach there,” he said. A senior official of the Estate Office commented that the lift had outlived its life. “You can’t infuse life in a dead thing,” quipped the official, adding that the lift was as old as the building. So a new lift was needed here. Poor basic amenities The state of public toilets in the building is pathetic. Dry taps, dirty surroundings and stink are enough to show the sorry state of affairs in the building. “The officers should come out of their air-conditioned rooms and check the state of civic facilities in such an important public office,” said Rakesh Kumar, a local resident and a frequent visitor to the
office.

‘Lover’ held for minor girl’s murder
Kaur was allegedly kidnapped when she was on her way to her residence in Badheri from school on August 9. A missing report was lodged at the Sector 39 police station on this day, which was later converted into a kidnapping case after the girl’s mother complained to the police against Parminder. The UT police arrested the kidnapper Parminder on August 11 and he was remanded to police custody. During interrogation, the accused disclosed that he had pushed the girl into Ropar canal on the night of August 10. The UT police swung into action and began a search for the girl to verify the claims of the kidnapper. Meanwhile, the girl’s body had already been recovered from a canal near Tohana in district Fatehabad of Haryana on

The police said investigations into the case revealed that the girl went with the boy, Parminder, on August 9 and refused to return home. He also dropped her once near her home, but she took a bus and again went to his residence and forced him to marry her.

Admn seeks MHA clarification
Chandigarh, August 23 There is speculation in administrative circles that officers of the rank of Principal Secretary, equivalent to the rank of Joint Secretary in the Government of India, cannot be appointed new Home Secretary. “Since the union territory is directly governed by the MHA, the UT administration has found it prudent to seek a clarification before recommending any name as new Home Secretary to avoid legal complications at a later stage,” sources asserted. Sources said two of the officers in the panel, RR Jowel and PK Das, from the 1986 batch of the IAS, were promoted to the rank of Principal Secretary-cum-Financial Commissioner immediately after the Haryana government sent the panel to the UT administration in the last week of June this year. The third contender for the crucial post was Anil Kumar, a 1988-batch IAS officer. Meanwhile, the clarification from the MHA, which would take some time to come, would further delay the appointment of the new incumbent. It was unlikely that the new appointee would be able to join by September 24, when current incumbent Ram Niwas, an IAS officer of the 1985 batch, would go back to his parent state of Haryana. The delay was blamed on the cumbersome process involved in the selection of IAS deputationists from Punjab and Haryana. After being recommended by the UT administration, the file of the new officer goes to the MHA, which forwards it to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).The final nod for the selection of the new officers comes from the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). Given its small size and insignificant political importance, appointments for Chandigarh are obviously not the top priority for the ACC, which clears senior postings for the entire country. In 2008, Centre took about seven months to appoint a Home Secretary, severly affecting even routine administrative work, as additional charge was held by the Finance Secretary. Besides being the chief administrator, Capitol Project, and chairman of various boards and corporations, the Home Secretary is also the secretary of important departments.

Want NOC? Give building details
Chandigarh, August 23 As per the fresh format, the owner of the building will have to give a detailed report about height, floor area ratio, number of floors, parking space, type of occupancy and surrounding property. He will also have to give a specific report about the kind of fire safety measures installed on each floor and whether fire-fighting vehicles can move smoothly around the building.

High drama at District Administrative Complex
Mohali, August 23 Alleging that the local administration was hand-in-glove with the ruling group to register voters in bulk without their physical presence, the independent candidates, Hardeep Singh, Amrik Singh and Harvinder Kaur Langh along with a large number of supporters laid a siege to the office of the election tehsildar at the DAC. The candidates raised slogans against the state government. Mohali deputy commissioner Varun Roozam said though the complaint was being verified, no such forms have been accepted in the office. Incidentally, District Revenue Officer (DRO) Sanjeev Sharma was today handed over the duty of registering the voters. Independent candidate Hardeep Singh alleged that the voters were being registered at the behest of SAD leader NK Sharma. He said he had taken up the issue with the Election Commission and would take the issue to its logical conclusion. Refuting the charges, Sharma said seeing his defeat, Hardeep was creating unnecessary controversy. “ Let the official probe bring out the truth”, he said. Another candidate Harvinder Kaur Langh alleged that when they went to get their voters registered, they were told to bring the voters.

Despite drowning incidents, P’kula MC lacks professional diver
Panchkula, August 23 Instead, it is still depending on the Haryana Police Academy in Madhuban, located 140 km away from here, the Army or central police organisations such as the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP). In this process, precious time is wasted, which is crucial. Many a time, the personnel have failed to rescue lives and have succeeded only in fishing out bodies. For the past many years, the fire brigade wing of the Panchkula MC has been functioning without any professional diver to assist in saving lives in such situations. Though many employees of the fire department know swimming but they are not professional enough to save someone from drowning in water bodies in the district. When contacted Panchkula Municipal Corporation executive officer KK Jain said that they had decided to send the proposal to the state government for the inclusion of professional diver. Replying on the question that whether the proposal was forwarded or not, he added that after checking the records he would be in a better position to answer thequestion. Past incidents June 18, 2011: 23-year-old youth of Panchkula died due to drowning in Tikkar Tal. July 31, 2010: 15-year-old boy drowned in a ditch filled with rainwater at Mansa Devi Complex. May 15, 2010: 30-year-old man drowned in a well in Nada village. March 2, 2010: 22-year-old youth drowned in a water body in Morni. August 13, 2008: Two Panchkula residents drowned in the Kaushlya river in Pinjore. July 5, 2008: Five-year-old girl drowned near Abhaypur village. July 3, 2008: Five-year-old boy drowned in a ditch in Sector 31 near Nada village. June 30, 2008: 15-year-old boy drowned in unearthen Kaushlya Dam in Pinjore.

Finally, civic body moves court against 14 dairy owners
Panchkula, August 23 Panchkula MC executive officer KK Jain said that today they had filed application in the court of subdivisional magistrate (SDM) to take action against these dairy owners. These people are running their dairies in Industrial area Phase II, Mansa Devi complex, Nada Sahib, Azad Colony and Budanpur, he added. The MC had issued many notices to these dairy owners but nobody submitted their reply therefore the MC decided to move court. The MC has submitted videos and photographs as part of evidences against these people, he added. The notices that were earlier sent to these dairy owners read, “It has come to our notice that you leave your cattle in the open which has resulted in many accidents. We are informing you through this notice that you may not leave your cattle in the open. If you do it in the future then your cattle will be caught and action will be taken against you as per rules.” It is worth mentioning here that the Haryana government had sanctioned 12-acre land in Pinjore in 2009 for a cattle-shed so that the stray cattle menace of Panchkula, Pinjore and Kalka could be eradicated. The state government had also sanctioned Rs 1.75 crore to the Panchkula MC. Since then the project has been delayed indefinitely. In the stray cattle menace case, the Panchkula court had also issued notice to the district administration and Panchkula MC. A Panchkula-based couple had filed a PIL in which directions were sought to take necessary steps to effectively deal with stray cattle menace.

Poll
time
Chandigarh, August 23
A large number of college students and student leaders were seen flaunting colourful stickers on their clothes bearing the name of the student organisations they are supporting. Others were seen moving in groups around frequented parts of the college such as canteen, canvassing for votes for their respective student parties. In addition to clothes, the students had even taken to innovative measures such as sticking gluing stickers to books to canvass for their candidates. At DAV College, members of both Student Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU) and Panjab University Student Union (PUSU) were locked in discussions to work out an election strategy. However, there were no signs of sloganeering. “Although we have not begun raising slogans, most student groups have already begun canvassing. The momentum has picked up because we have heard from university leaders that election dates will be announced shortly,” said a final-year student of DAV College who, when asked, identified himself as Mann. Students who feverishly campaigned in both DAV College and SGGS College were oblivious to the presence of policemen deployed around the two colleges as a security measure. DAV College, in particular, has been a witness to incidents of student violence both on and around the campus.
At SGGS College in Sector 26, members of the 11-year-old student organisation, College Students’ Union (CSU), which primarily consists SGGS hostel students, were seen preparing a poll agenda. Students were seen distributing party stickers. “We have told our party supporters clearly not to deface the college property. Stickers are being used to catch the attention of new students. But not a single sticker has been pasted on any of the walls. Barely a few days are left for the election to take place; so it is peak campaign time,” said Ravinder Sandhu, presidential candidate of College Students’ Union (CSU). YAI announces candidate The relatively lesser-known Youth Association of India (YAI) announced its presidential candidate and organised a car rally today. It was most visible through its posters across various colleges in the city.

PU reminds DC to declare poll date
Chandigarh, August 23 Repeating September 2, 8 and 9 as the most feasible options, the university has urged the DC to decide on the date soon for PU has to start its poll preparations. “We wrote to them around 20 days ago but are still to get any reply, so we have sent them a reminder. A minimum of one week is supposed to be given to PU students for campaigning and getting date well in time will not only help us but even the students,” said Dean Student Welfare AS Ahluwalia. “Not just the letter but we have made repeated calls also to the DC office reminding them about the issue and its urgency, however, unfortunately majority of times we have not been able to get through as the DC office staff claims he is busy at a meeting. We do understand their workload but it’s also an important issue,” said a PU official. The university has “requested” the DC to stick to the precedent and arrange election on a Friday i.e September 2 or September 9. “Friday suits us, as it’s succeeded by two holidays, which comes handy for things to settle after the poll. The date will be given by the administration taking into account various factors, including availability of the police. If they have any problems with these two dates then we are ready to go with September 8 but need to be informed in time,” added Ahluwalia. Brijendra Singh not only failed to answer the repeated calls made to him but also refused to meet and give a comment even after a wait of over two hours. Police stops car rally l Members of the Youth Association of India (YAI), a student organisation functioning at DAV College, Sector 10, who were a part of a car rally taken today, were stopped midway by the police for checking. Party president Narinder was taken to the Sector 3 police station for verification only to be later let off in the evening. Police officials said these students had no permission to take out the car rally.

Unlimited talk time sought, no. not known
Chandigarh, August 23 Questions are being raised on why he should be allowed the “privilege” when a majority of the faculty and even Senators did not have his number. “He does not give his number to anyone, except, three-four in his close coterie. The VC’s mobile number is probably the most well-guarded secret of Panjab University,” said a senior university official, requesting anonymity. A senior Senate member said, “Surprisingly, while the VC has always evaded sharing his number on the pretext of not having any mobile, his ‘special officer’ has in the Syndicate agenda given a proposal of allowing the ‘worthy’ Vice-Chancellor use mobile phone irrespective of any limit. The proposal has quoted the recommendation of a special committee in 2007, which allowed unlimited bill for the VC saying, “He has to be in constant touch with Punjab, state governments’ officials, Senators and Syndicate members and other officials of the university and is also bound to travel abroad for official purposes and to be in touch with the university authorities”. “Before passing this proposal, we in Syndicate will definitely question how many Senators and faculty members had his number. The only access that we have to the VC is his official and residence landline number and when he is out of station the only way we can talk to him is through two or three officials. Why should the university pay bills of the phone, which is not accessible to those connected by the university?” said a Syndicate member. Prior to this, former Vice-Chancellor MM Puri had hit news in 1999 when he was accused of to have misappropriated funds to the tune of Rs 2.91 lakh on account of ISD calls made by him on official phones installed at his residence. The VC was, however, given a clear chit in 2005.

Reevaluation to fizz out from PU exam system
Chandigarh, August 23 Going by the agenda of the forthcoming Syndicate if it gets thumbs up, the reevaluation will soon fizz out from the university examination system and departments will conduct their own exams as per the recommendations of the recently formed committee, which also allows students to view their answersheets and makes department’s board of control as the supreme body over evaluation disputes rather than the PU examination branch. “The internal examination system should be introduced in Panjab University where all departments except evening studies and USOL will be responsible for setting datesheets, question papers and even evaluating their respective students. The department’s board of control or advisory committee will now be the board of moderators who will be the supreme authority over evaluation disputes between students and teachers and no referral appeal will be allowed. A student will have full access to his/her answersheet and the evaluator will be required to give due justification of marks awarded. This will do away with the re-evaluation system in PU. The chairpersons who have reservations may contact the Vice-Chancellor,” read the recommendations. These recommendations, however, have failed to thrill both student representatives and department chairpersons. “If this is allowed then in many departments syllabus will not be completed, as paper setting now rests with the teacher concerned,” said a chairperson. “We are happy that students will be allowed to see answersheets but evaluations disputes should be settled by an independent body like the examination branch rather than the department’s board of control. How can they ensure justice if it’s the teacher who teaches us will check our papers and even our evaluation related objections would be dealt by a body with the department representatives?” said Gurvinderwir Singh Aulukh, Panjab University Student Council president 2010-11. Recommendations l Internal examination system to be introduced in Panjab University except department of evening studies and USOL. l If any chairperson has any reservation about it, he/she may contact VC. l Departments will be responsible for making own datesheets, setting question papers, evaluations, etc. l Board of control/advisory committee will now be board of moderators. l Students will be allowed to see answersheets. l Board whose decision will be final will deal with any evaluation dispute between students and teachers and no referral appeal would be allowed. Objections l Internal examination system will prove detrimental to courses with subjective approach. l Practices of doing limited syllabus may bloom to get better results. l With everything coming under department’s control, impartiality may suffer in some hands.
