Admn to restart prepaid booths
Dehradun, September 9 The traffic police and the regional transport office (RTO) are in talks with the Vikram/auto unions in this regard. “We are on the verge of finalising the revised charges and in three or four days the prepaid booths are expected to be functional,” Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Ajay Joshi told The Tribune. The SP said the prepaid booths were earlier started here two or three years ago but in the absence of any system of revising prices the facility was done away with after some time. The police said starting from the ISBT, more prepaid booths would be set up at railway station and other places. The booths will be operated by the Dehradun traffic police along with the owners of Vikrams and autorickshaws while the RTO will have the responsibility of fixing the prices. The state being a tourism hub draws a large number of domestic and overseas tourists who often hire Vikrams and autorickshaws from the ISBT and railway station. Joshi said the move would help in a big way to curb the complaints of fleecing by the owners of Vikrams and autorickshaws.

Himalaya Day
Dehradun, September 9 Senior Congress leader Suryakant Dhasmana said instead of declaring Uttarakhand a herbal sate, power state, etc, the government should try to address the problems of the people. He said the Congress President, Yashpal Arya, had promised the social activists that their suggestions would be incorporated in the party’s manifesto. The social activists have been raising the demand for a separate Himalayan policy for the entire region, and to this effect a meeting was held early this year in which members from Himachal Pradesh, Jammu Kashmir, Assam and other north-eastern states participated to draft a common policy for the Himalayan region. The members also released the draft of the people’s policy for the Himalayan region along with Uttarakhand Janmat. The Uttarakhand Janmat or people’s declaration calls upon political parties to take into consideration the views of the people while taking decisions on resources. The Uttarakhand Janmat calls for drafting a state-specific Panchayat Raj Act, Women’s Policy and proper utilisation of funds allocated to the MLAs. Earlier, the members took out a procession from Gandhi Park to Hindi Bhawan in support of their demands. The organisations that participated in the rally under the banner of the Himalayan Unity for Movement included the Himalayan Environment Studies and Conservation Organization (HESCO), Mahila Samakhya, Himalayan Environment Studies Organisation, Aagaz Federation, Sanchar, Self-Help India and other organisations. Meanwhile, the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, today celebrated Himalaya Day. At a function held at the Institute, Officiating FRI Director VRR Singh spoke on the importance of conservation of the Himalayas. He said the day was important to sensitise society towards the key role of the Himalyas in the environment conservation. Chief Conservator of Forests Rakesh Shah (Wildlife) spoke on the rich biodiversity of the Himalayas. Scientist Subash Nautiyal emphasised the natural resources in the Himalayas. Dr Luxmi Rawat also spoke.
