Ensure safety of witnesses, IGP tells SHOs
Jhajjar, May 21 The district police chiefs have been directed to appoint any gazetted officer of their area concerned as nodal officer to ensure safety and security of witnesses, especially during deposition process. Alok Mittal, IGP of the Rohtak Range covering Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonepat and Panipat districts, said the directives had been issued in view of some recent incidents wherein key witnesses were murdered by their rival groups when they were going to court for giving their deposition statements. “The SHOs of those police stations will now be responsible for dereliction in duty if any incident of assault on witnesses takes place under their jurisdiction. They have also been directed to carry out a regular review regarding security arrangements of witnesses of those criminal cases which are the outcome of personal enmity or gang wars,” said Mittal. The police has also decided to make sufficient numbers of security personnel available for those witnesses who receive threat of dire consequences from their opposite group to depose before the courts, said the IGP. He said the SHOs had also been directed to keep a close tab on the activities of those accused of heinous crimes who were out from prison either on bail or parole. Mittal said the DSPs had also been asked to hold special meetings with SHOs concerned at regular intervals to evaluate security and safety of witnesses of their area concerned. Notably, a sharp rise in the incidents of lethal attack on witnesses has been reported in the state during the past some time. In a recent incident occurred in Panipat on April 27, Kuldeep Singh, a key witness in a murder case and a former sarpanch of Nara village, and his security
guard, Ram Niwas, were gunned down by some persons near Guru Gobind Singh Public School on the outskirts of Nara village when they were going to depose in a murder case. Just hours after the above incident, Sardara Singh of Bhadar village in the Matlauda segment of Panipat, who owned a property business on the Assandh Road, was found dead on the Jatal Road. Sardara Singh was also to appear in a local court two days later in a property dispute case. Two days after these incidents, a woman witness identified as Manjeet from Dupedi village was shot at and injured at Assandh in Karnal when she was returning after appearing as a witness in a land dispute case. Earlier, four witnesses, including the son of a former sarpanch, were gunned down by their rival group at Dulhera village in Jhajjar when they were coming back to Bahadurgarh from Jhajjar in a car after deposing before a court in
connection with a criminal case.

Haryanavis prone to contracting heart diseases, says expert
Fatehabad, May 21 Dr Gurcharan Singh Kalra, Director, Cardiology, in Fortis, Mohali, said Punjabis ate heavily while they had a sedentary life style. Dr Kalra, who was here today to examine patients in a Cardiac Diseases Camp organised by Punjabi Sabha Hospital today, said eating more and working less coupled with genetic reasons make Punjabis susceptible to cardiac diseases. He said in Haryana, too, the lifestyle and eating habits of people were much like Punjab with the added problem that people smoke a lot in this state. He said he had observed during his practice that even women smoke a lot in Haryana. Further, the prevalence of diabetes is more common in Haryana, Punjab and other parts of the northern belt, aggravating the situation
more. “Over 45 per cent of diabetic patients have been found to be suffering from heart diseases, too,” said Dr Kalra. Describing cardiac diseases as the commonest cause of deaths in India, particularly in the northern region, the noted cardiologist said the prevalence of heart diseases cuts across societal and economic status barriers in the region due to genetic reasons. He said it was important to keep high blood pressure under check, keep the body weight within normal limits and control cholesterol levels at a younger age. Dr Kalra said too much of milk was not good for the health; one teaspoonful of desi ghee per day was fine while vegetables and fruits were the best food.

Sirsa tops in wheat procurement
Sirsa, May 21 Sirsa, which had topped in Haryana last year also, has already broken its own record of procuring 10.47 lakh MT wheat last year. The arrivals were 7.54 lakh MT in 2010, 9.64 lakh MT in 2009 and 7.89 lakh MT in 2008 in Sirsa. An official spokesperson said Karnal with procurement of 8.92 lakh MT ranks second while Fatehabad with the arrival of 7.92 lakh MT of wheat was ranked at number three in Haryana. Among the districts at the bottom of the table were Narnaul 27190 MT, Panchkula 31710 MT and Rewari 58800 MT of wheat. In Sirsa, wheat was sown on 2.90 lakh hectares of land again the highest in Haryana. Favourable weather conditions helped increase the yield and the authorities here expect that the arrivals may cross 11 lakh MT by the end of the procurement season. Sources said the actual production must be around 16 lakh MT as farmers hold back the wheat for their own need with them while bringing their crop to the grain markets.

CPI for subsidised foodgrains to common man
Sirsa, May 21 Addressing mediapersons after inaugurating a convention of party workers from Sirsa, Hisar, Bhiwani and Fatehabad here today, Amarjit Kaur, national secretary of the CPI, alleged that on the one hand several lakh metric tonnes of wheat was rotting in government storehouses, on the other hand the poor were starving for want of food. She alleged that neither the Congress nor the BJP had any concern for the common people as both these parties worked for corporate houses. She alleged that due to the policies favouring private companies adopted by the UPA government at the Centre and the Congress government in Haryana, youth from poor families were not able to pursue higher studies as paying fee was out of their reach. Even if they managed to get education, there was an acute crisis of jobs for them, she alleged. She said the CPI would cooperate with other parties for providing people an alternative where both the Congress and the BJP were kept away from power. Dariyao Singh Kashyap, state secretary of the CPI, said the party was organising zonal conventions to strengthen party units at the district level.
