consumer courts Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 26 District forum president PD Goel, and members Rajinder Singh Gill and Madanjit Kaur Sahota, observed that the opposite parties were under legal obligation to provide a hassle-free and comfortable journey to their potential customers; which they had failed while dealing with the situation in the present complaint. The forum also directed the opposite parties to issue a complementary return ticket to the complainant on any domestic flight, besides Rs 10,000 as costs of litigation. The complainant, Lata Sikri, had averred that she had booked an air ticket for Bidar via Hyderabad with Kingfisher Airlines through Airpak Travels, Chandigarh. The flight was scheduled to take off at 9.25 am from Delhi. She said even though the opposite party issued boarding passes to all her male colleagues, she was denied the same. Subsequently, the boarding pass of another airlines, Spice Jet, was issued to her and the flight departed in the late hours at 3.45 pm. She was given in writing that surface transport would be provided by the Hyderabad Airport Authority for Bidar. She contended that the airport authority provided her with a taxi, but the driver lost his way and it took another six hours to reach the destination. She wrote to Kingfisher Airlines, which regretted the inconvenience and offered her a complimentary return ticket on Kingfisher Airlines, which she declined. The counsel for the opposite parties argued that the complainant had already availed of the services against the consideration paid by her to the opposite parties.

Max challans issued to zebra crossing offenders, HC told
Chandigarh, September 26 That’s right! The closed-circuit television cameras installed by the Chandigarh Police have so far this year caught over 30,000 motorists in the act. In fact, data made available to the Punjab and Haryana High Court by the Chandigarh Police this morning indicates that as many as 30,835 challans were issued for not stopping well before the zebra crossing. The police told the court: “During this year, up to August 31, 33,395 challans have been generated through CCTV cameras installed on 19 traffic lights.” The data placed before Justice Rajive Bhalla also indicates almost negligible number of challans issued on the basis of CCTV footage to motorists combining conversing with driving. The police also told the Bench that 1,257 challans were issued for wrong turn and another 384 challans for helmet-less riding. Another 724 motorists were caught jumping the red light. The data was submitted to the High Court during the hearing of the traffic regulation and pollution control case. Driving home the message of road safety, Justice Bhalla has already made it clear that the High Court wants the “third eye” to keep a tab on traffic violations even at night. On the previous date of hearing, Justice Bhalla suggested the Chandigarh administration “may also consider installing cameras with night vision and a flash”. Justice Bhalla also indicated that the court wanted to gauge the efficacy of the CCTV cameras; and also wanted to know if more such cameras would be installed in the city. ‘Smarter CCTV cameras on the way’}The Chandigarh Police proposes to install number-plate reading cameras at various entry and exit points. The police is preparing a blueprint for safe city project, under which it is proposed to cover the entire city with CCTV cameras and latest intelligence software. The CCTV cameras are proposed to be installed at major crossings as well as major markets of the city.— Alok Singh, UT Deputy IGP

Tee off in city, get free ride in Shatabdi
Chandigarh, September 26 The catch: The beneficiaries will have to stay at any of the Chandigarh Industrial and Tourism Development Corporation (CITCO) hotels as a ‘golf tourist’. “The scheme has just been launched and we have already started getting a good response,” said CITCO managing director and UT Tourism Department director DK Tiwari. The step is aimed at promoting “Golf Tourism” in the region, which has top greens, including Chandigarh Golf Club, Chandigarh Golf Range and Panchkula Golf Club. These greens have been associated for the purpose and the administration will pay the green’s fee at these clubs and arrange playing timings for the “special tourists”. Besides, the arrangements to ferry the tourists from the hotel of their choice to the greens and vice-versa will also be made free of cost under the scheme. The targeted clientele includes golfers from foreign countries, particularly from Korea, Japan, and Europe, besides customers from the corporate world from metro cities, said Tiwari, adding that over 40 corporate clients have already availed of the scheme. The department has also appointed an official at New Delhi to liaise with the potential clients under the scheme. “Playing golf in Delhi and other metropolitan cities is quite expensive. By providing the requisite facilities to the golfers, we can attract them here as potential tourists,” said Tiwari. The Central government will also grant financial aid to hold tournaments under the scheme. “The tournament is likely to be organised in December,” said Tiwari.

Players were disheartened as there were many errors. The referee awarded three penalty corners to the home team in the first half.
