DC claims timely lifting, payment; commission agents disagree
Fatehgarh Sahib, October 30 He said out of Rs 365.67 crore the total amount of the procured paddy, the payment up to October 25 purchase worth Rs 355.32 crore have been made to the farmers. He has directed the managers of the respective procurement agencies to ensure the lifting of procured paddy within 72 hours, so that the farmers may not have to face any problem while bringing paddy to mandis. Meanwhile Rajesh Singla, state press secretary of arhtiya association refuted the claim and said though the procurement of paddy is going on smoothly but the lifting of procured paddy and payment is not as per the claims by the Deputy Commissioner. He said lifting is very slow and it has not yet started properly, resulting in heaps of procured paddy bags in the grain markets causing great inconvenience to the farmers and commission agents in Bassi Pathana grain market. He said similarly the payment of certain agencies is too late and the bills of the commission agent's up to October 20 are yet to be cleared, so the payment of at least nine days is pending. He urged the DC to ensure payments on time and lifting of procured paddy.

Campaign to check illegal plying of vehicles
Ambala, October 30 Sources said a campaign was launched on October 7 by the Haryana Roadways Workers Union against the practice. The Regional Transport Authority has impounded 15 vehicles so far. The union members led by Ambala RTA impounded a bus carrying fake documents. Several maxi cabs were also challaned near the flyover on the GT road, Ambala Cantt. Officials in the roadways department said such vehicles were adding to the pollution level in the city. To aggravate woes, encroachments on main roads hampered the movement of buses. Some private buses plying on the Delhi-Patiala and Delhi-Katra route were seen picking passengers from Ambala Cantt. A senior Haryana Roadways officer said the campaign had helped the department earn an additional revenue of Rs 17.39 lakh in the past nine days. “An increase in the revenue from Rs 19.81 to Rs 27.54 since October 7 on the Delhi-Chandigarh route has been witnessed,” he added. He said he hoped that the traffic police would come out in their support. General manager of the Haryana Roadways, Ambala, said the campaign aimed at providing excellent bus service, minimising vehicular pollution and checking plying of illegal vehicles, he added.
