Ashish is chief of DAV PG College Student Council
Dehradun, September 1 Ashish edged past Shyam Singh Chauhan of the National Student Union of India (NSUI) by 1,396 votes. This was the fifth consecutive win for the ABVP. Ashish polled 2,724 votes, while his rival Chauhan could gain 1,328 votes. However, the competition was quite tough this year as compared to the last year. “I am very delighted and will try to fulfill the promises I have made to the students,” Ashish told the mediapersons. The post of secretary also witnessed a stiff competition. Bhagwati Prasad (Aryan) managed to win the election with 2,568 votes, while Devanshu Pratap Singh Bhandari, an independent candidate, could get 1,924 votes. Others victorious candidates are Archana (Joint Secretary), Poonam (Treasurer) and Ayush Semwal (university representative). The results were declared amid tight security. The police had barricaded the area outside the college and the students were allowed to enter the college premises only when the results were being announced. The supporters of the winning parties applied gulal (colour) to one another and raised slogans of their respective parties. The ABVP and the Aryan group first held rallies on the college premises and then headed towards the Survey Chowk. Thumping drums and blowing trumpets, the students moved in procession on the Karapur road. However, the police did not allow them to go beyond the Survey Chowk. The police had made elaborate arrangements to control any untoward incident inside and outside the campus. Special force and police horse riders were deployed in the entire area of Karanpur, EC Road and Survey Chowk.

Celebrating in ‘high spirits’
Dehradun September 1 Claiming them to be victorious in the election prior to the announcement of the poll results, all the participating student organisations were seen arranging the liquor for the evening celebrations. As soon as the poll results were out, the supporters starting drinking on the roads. However, Anshul Chawla, president of DAV PG College, student council, denied, “Our party doesn’t encourage such malpractices within the campus. The victory procession was taken out by the students of the college in very high spirits without consumption of intoxicating stuff.” With results of the college polls declared by evening, the campus came alive with an air of jubilation. Supporters of various parties danced to the tune of dhols and played with colours. The procession passed through Karanpur and returned to the DL Road from Survey Chowk, as they were not allowed to go beyond that limit. The commuters and the shopkeepers at DL Road, DAV Road, Bengali Library Road, Karanpur Road and Survey Chowk faced inconvenience. Even routes were diverted and special police force was deployed to keep a check on any untoward incident.

Doon Hospital
Dehradun, September 1 A woman patient, who had come all the way from Kotdwar for removal of stone in kidney, was sent back though she was experiencing an excruciating pain. District Doon Hospital has a total of four operation tables. Out of these one is exclusively used for undertaking eye surgeries, while the remaining three are put to use for undertaking ENT, orthopaedic and general surgeries. But in the morning, the hospital authorities found themselves in a piquant situation when Dr KK Tamta, senior surgeon, informed the authorities of his inability to carry out the surgery as the system of operation table had developed a snag. “The hydraulic function of the table had developed a snag as a result the table could not be raised. The surgeon was unable to get the complete view of the kidney making it difficult for carrying out operation,” said Dr BC Pathak, Chief Medical Superintendent, Doon Hospital. According to sources, on previous occasions too, this particular operation table’s system had developed a snag and was temporarily repaired. However, this time around, things turned serious when family members of the woman patient began frantically calling up ministers for help so that they could prevail upon the authorities to conduct operation. Now the operation will be held on a later date. Sources claim that a majority of the equipment at the hospital are past their prime and snags like this one keep cropping on and off.

No clue to escaped prisoners
Dehradun, September 1 The police has despatched teams to different places in search of the dreaded criminals who were serving life-term sentences in separate murder cases. “We have sent our teams to different locations to trace the two. However, till now they could not be traced,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Gopal Nath Goswami told The Tribune. However, the police seems to be groping in the dark as the jail authorities have no photographs of the duo with them. The police is said to have made sketches of the fleeing prisoners. After the two fled from the jail, the authorities informed the Dehradun police about the incident after four hours. On this the police had told the senior officers that had they got the information on time they could have nabbed the prisoners before the two had made their way out of Dehradun. Two head wardens were suspended yesterday and an FIR was registered against them. A magisterial probe has been ordered into the matter. The report of the probe was to be submitted today. However, till the filing of the news report the administration had not tabled the report of the probe. Dehradun Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Archana Gaharwar, who is probing the matter, did not respond to the repeated attempts to contact her.

Mayor opens complaint redressal centre
Dehradun, September 1 Addressing the media after the launch, the Mayor said the residents of Dehradun did not know whom they should approach with their grievances and this was the first step towards the solution of their civic problems. “The corporation is providing this facility and hopes that the residents will utilise it,” he said. He said they had launched the online facility in January and had received only 170 complaints. “In seven months, we have received 82 complaints related to sanitation, out of which 74 have been solved. The remaining complaints are in the pipeline, while all the 88 grievances related to streetlights have been solved. With the start of telephone service, the residents will be able to reach us directly,” Chamoli said. Sushil Kumar, Chief Executive Engineer, DMC, said after receiving the phone call, the operator would enter the complaint online and provide him the registration number, which would enable him to know the status of the complaint on their website. “The complaint would be uploaded on the computer and would automatically reach the concerned department,” he stated. Upper Nagar adhikari Neeraj Pandey has been appointed as in charge for the same. Ashok Verma, leader of opposition, DMC, said, “I am happy that the corporation took the initiative and thought of providing free facility to the residents, but the question remains whether they would be able to solve the problems at time or not.”
