Labourer falls to death in Gurgaon
Gurgaon, March 23 Babul Hasan, a construction labourer, was killed after he fell from an under-construction multi-storey building on the Behrampur road here today. The incident triggered a violent protest by his co-workers who alleged that the building contractor had not provided the requisite safety equipment, which led to the death of their companion. The protesting workers pelted stones at passing vehicles and damaged several of them. They also raised slogans against the contractor. The arrival of a police party at the scene fueled their anger and they torched the Jeep in which the police personnel had arrived. However, the police officials from the Badshahpur police station, who occupied the Jeep, escaped unhurt. Senior police officials and additional forces were rushed to the scene of crime and several protesters were rounded up. A case has been registered in this regard and further investigations were on till the time of filing this report.

BID to measure pollution in Ghaggar
Sirsa, March 23 A joint team of engineers of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the state pollution control boards (SPCBs) of Punjab and Haryana took samples of the Ghaggar water at three places yesterday. The Tribune had recently raised the issue of pollution of the Ghaggar by industrial wastes in Haryana and upstream in Punjab. Dinesh Kumar, Regional Officer of the HSPCB, said: “The pollution levels in all inter-state rivers are monitored by the CPCB and samples are taken by its engineers jointly with the SPCBs concerned at regular intervals. A joint team of engineers of the CPCB, the HSPCB and the Punjab State Pollution Control Board (PSPCB) took samples of Ghaggar water at Chandpura in Fatehabad, where the Ghaggar enters Haryana from neighbouring Punjab. Later, the team took water samples near Khairekan on the Sirsa-Dabwali road and the Ottu weir near Rania in Sirsa. The samples have been sent to the laboratory for testing the pollution level of water. Samples of water taken in Sirsa and upstream at Chandpura in Fatehabad in the past have revealed that the bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD) level in the Ghaggar here is 25 to 30 mg per litre in this part against the maximum permissible limits of 3 mg per litre. Biochemical oxygen demand is a measure of the quantity of oxygen used by microorganisms in the oxidation of organic matter. Oxygen consumed in the decomposition process robs other aquatic organisms of the oxygen they need to live. A low BOD level means little pollution.
