Rickety poles put people’s lives to risk
Jind, May 24 “Dozens of transformers and electric poles are either damaged or have outlived their life. They are the cause of disruption of power supply and pose a risk to the lives of people residing in the vicinity,” claims Raj Kumar Goel, a local resident. Pointing out the case of a UHBVN pole located near Saini Dharamshala at Rohtak Road, here, he said the pole was severely damaged and could collapse anytime due to the weight of the transformers put on it. Ved Prakash, another resident of the locality, claimed that several complaints had been lodged with the department about the risk posed by it, but officials had been overlooking the matter. “Several transformers in the city have been positioned very low or on the ground in densely populated areas, posing a threat to human life. The authorities have failed to relocate or reposition these in safer spots,” said Ram Kumar Saini of the locality. The areas where the power supply infrastructure is poor and a cause of danger include Rani Talab, Main Rohtak-Safidon Road, Jat Dharamshala, Patiala Chowk and Jayanti Devi Mandir. “The poles and transformers here are in a poor condition and need to be replaced,” claims Dilbagh Singh, a trader at Palika Bazaar here. Hundreds of transformers in rural parts are also overloaded and stationed dangerously close to the ground and should be relocated and updated, claim sources in the department. It is learnt that around Rs 200 crore has either been spent or earmarked for the improvement of the power infrastructure in the district. However, the Superintendent Engineer, O.K.Sharma, when contacted, claimed that he had no information about the state of affairs or the condition of transformers and electric poles in the district.

Bishnoi flays Congress govt
Jhajjar, May 24 Addressing a joint workers’ meeting of the HJC and the BJP, he said the Congress government had been unsuccessful in rising up to public expectation. It neither succeeded in providing basic amenities like power and potable water in the villages nor made any serious efforts to develop the backward areas of the state, he added. “All the tall claims made by the Congress during election time have proved hollow as the government is not paying any heed to public grievances. Haryana’s Cabinet of Ministers has been fulfilling their vested interest instead of embarking upon development and public welfare policies,” said Bishnoi, adding that the people of the state were now fed up with the Congress government and were searching for an opportunity to get rid of it. Charging the Congress government with committing scam in the name of land acquisition for development, the HJC supreme alleged that Hooda had hatched a conspiracy to snatch the valuable and fertile agriculture land of poor farmers at below market rate by playing the role of a ‘property dealer’ during the past seven years. He announced that the HJC would impose a ban on the acquisition of fertile agricultural land if the alliance government came to power in the next Assembly polls. Lambasting the Congress government for a sharp rise in the crime graph in the state, Bishnoi said not a single day passed when a heinous criminal act did not take place in the state. Krishan Pal Singh Gujjar, state president of the BJP, claimed that the BJP-HJC alliance would form the government in the state in the next Assembly election. Pandit Raj Singh, Ravi Bhan Rathi, Sachin Balmiki, Satish Gupta, Jai Bhagwan Ahlawat, Ravi Dutt Kaushik were among those who expressed their views on the occasion.

Hospital ventilator in disuse
Ambala, May 24 The ventilator has been kept abandoned in a doctor’s room which remains locked at night. The accessories of the ventilator, like masks and connectivity plugs, are still packed in a box. According to sources, a particular component called ‘extensor’ of the ventilator had become defective which has been sent for repair. The ventilator should be put up in the Emergency ward of the trauma centre for easy access to trauma and cardio patients. Interestingly, none of the doctors is trained for its operation. The manufacturing company of the ventilator arranges for the training but nothing was done in this regard. No intensive care unit (ICU) has been created in the trauma centre where sensitive medical machines like ventilator can be operationalised. A small operation theatre is available in the hospital where trauma patients are treated. The OT is open to all exposing serious patients to infection. When contacted, civil surgeon Satish Aggarwal said that Principal Medical Officer (PMO) of the hospital could brief about it. PMO Pankaj Garg said that the operation of ventilator was a costly affair and the hospital had demanded special budget for it. It would be operationalised as soon as the budget is sanctioned, he added.

Sirsa, May 24 Dr HK Sharma, registrar of MM University, Mullana, who inaugurated the conference, said that man’s desire for ultimate joy and comforts had driven him to play with the nature and pollute it unabashedly. He said the problem was much bigger than what it appears to us.

Outlining the importance of the conference, Dr Gurcharan Dass, principal of the host college, said environment pollution had been affecting people’s health making it imperative for the academics to find means to improve conditions.

STET-qualified candidates question relaxation to guest teachers
Chandigarh, May 24 “The school refused to give me long leave and even warned me against participating in the agitation. I put in my papers and came to this place where other STET-qualified candidates are on an indefinite fast because I felt this was a bigger cause,” he said. Questioning the rationale of providing a three-year window to guest teachers for clearing the STET, Satpal Singh rues, “If I can do it in one go and the guest teachers can’t even after teaching the subject in government schools for years, do they deserve relaxation? Why is the government inclined to carry on with them especially when some of them are either unwilling to appear for the test or have not cleared it, is an issue.” At the protest venue outside the Shiksha Sadan in Sector 2, Panchkula, STET-passed candidates from all over the state give company to those on an indefinite fast. Sitting on the road berm under the shade of a tree with bedsheets tied together to shield them from the summer sun, they seem to be virtually on their own. One of those on an indefinite fast against this relaxation is the president of the women’s wing of the sangh, Archana Suhasini. “We are poor candidates who can’t even afford a tent. At night, we untie these very bedsheets to cover ourselves. Its the fifth day of our indefinite fast and the first team of doctors only came on Saturday. All that worries the government is the interest of the guest teachers some of who do not even have degrees for subjects they are teaching,” she alleges. Some candidates have shaved off their heads, even performed a yajna for good sense to prevail in the government, cleaned windscreens of vehicles and even swept the Shiksha Sadan compound to lodge their protest. Sirsa’s Nanak Chand who has cleared the test nine times in different categories, chips in, “We called for an ambulance after two of the members got very unwell. A tehsildar came to urge us to end
our protest, saying our demand will be put before the government but we want action now.” The protesting teachers said there were as many as 70,000 candidates who had been issued 1.20 lakh certificates (candidates have appeared in different categories and different subjects) for passing the STET and all the government could do was to
worry about 15,000 guest teachers. They stated that the Haryana Education Minister, Geeta Bhukkal, called them up on Saturday and appealed to them to end the fast. “We can’t run our house on her appeal or ignore the disadvantage being thrust upon us. The government must withdraw this clause,” Sweety, a candidate from Ambala said. Meanwhile, Bhukkal said she had tried to convince the candidates to end the fast. “Their health did not seem good and the government has already decided in their favour by doing away with contract employment. I told them to focus on the posts being advertised and explained that this three-year window is only a one-time relaxation to the guest teachers. If they still stick to their demand, I don’t know what we can do,” she said.

Hooda Jr raps Jhajjar officers over power, water crises
Jhajjar, May 24 Deepender was addressing a meeting of district administration officers at the Deputy Commissioner’s camp office here recently to contemplate on various issues pertaining to providing basic facilities especially to villages. The MP also warned the officers that stern action would be taken at the government level against those found guilty of committing dereliction of duty while disposing of public grievances. He himself would monitor the development works being carried out in the district, added the MP. Deepender Hooda had to adopt strict attitude towards the officers following his recent visit to Laadpur, Sondhi and Machhrauli villages where he had to face an embarrassing situation when people started seeking a reply from him regarding acute power and water crises prevailing in the villages for the past couple of months. The villagers reportedly told the MP that they were tired after making several rounds of government offices for getting the problems of electricity and water resolved but no officer was ready to pay heed. The irate villagers even raised a question mark over the functioning of district authorities in terms of redressing public grievances. The angry villagers were pacified following an assurance given by Deepender Hooda that the power and water crises would be sorted out soon. The MP also directed the officers concerned to go to the public and redress their grievances on priority.
