Youth run over by train
New Delhi, March 5 The incident occurred around 7.40 am, when Amarjeet slipped and fell onto the tracks while trying to grab the handle of the door of the train. At the crowded platform nobody had noticed that Amarjeet had fallen onto the tracks. After the train had left the platform, people saw him lying on the tracks. He was bleeding profusely, while he was being taken to a nearby hospital. Doctors at the hospital declared him dead upon his arrival. Amarjeet was residing in Geeta Colony, Delhi. There have been similar incidents of people being killed at the railway tracks when there are overcrowded platforms. In other cases people are run over by trains when they fall onto the tracks while trying to board a moving train. The police said that the security was beefed up to handle the crowd. But, there was a sudden and enormous rush of passengers during festivals which made the task of controlling crowd difficult for security agency.

SAD (Badal) submits memo against attack in gurdwara
New Delhi, March 5 Sikhs from all parts of Delhi gathered at the SAD Badal office in Gurdwara Rakab Ganj this morning to take out a procession to the residence of union home minister P Chidambaram. The procession started about 12.30 pm, but was stopped by the police at Pandit Pant Marg and the protestors demonstrated there for about half an hour. Later, a delegation of the party led by Delhi unit chief of the SAD (Badal) Manjit Singh (GK) submitted a memorandum to the home minister. Chidambaram met the delegation personally and assured them of taking up the issue, Manjit said. The memorandum said general secretary of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) Harvinder Singh Sarna and his followers with the support of the police attacked an unarmed sangat with bricks, glass, stones and swords and the police used tear gas shells inside the Gurdwara sahib. It was a pre-planned conspiracy of the Sarna brothers who knew that the Sikh Sangat would never tolerate the renaming of the hospital as "Guru Harkishan BLK." The memorandum further said, "The hospital building was constructed by Baba Harban Singh ji Kar Sewa Wale with the support of Sikh Sangat, but Sarna brothers wrongfully handed over the control initially to the Manipal group and thereafter to the B L Kapoor Hospital on a lease of 30 years and Harvinder Singh Sarna went there with their associates to hand over the possession to the leasee." However, DSGMC president Paramjeet Singh Sarna said general secretary of the gurdwara committee had nothing to do with the brick and bottle pelting. He had gone to the gurdwara for a religious ritual and had to go to the hospital later.

MCD, Abbi said that the private company, Siemens, adjudged Delhi as the first city in India and the second in Asia in managing the solid waste management in studying of 25 cities of Asia. The MCD caters to more than 94 per cent area of Delhi and more than 97 per cent population of the
city. Abbi said that the MCD is adopting the latest technique in solid waste management to improve the sanitation of the city. "The introduction of mechanical sweepers, jetting machines for cleaning of public toilet complexes and auto-tipper for removing solid waste from narrow lanes, lead to massive improvement in the sanitation of the city," she said. |
