Police identifies 65 crime-prone villages in Rohtak Range
Jhajjar, July 2 For the purpose, the police has identified as many as 65 crime-prone villages in four districts of Rohtak, Sonepat, Panipat and Jhajjar under the Rohtak Police Range after carrying out a brief research on the crime history of these villages. The police will keep a tab on the activities of those villagers who indulged in crime in the past. It would also rope in members of village panchayats and social activists to help in resolving personal enmities, poll rivalries and property disputes in an amicable manner, said Alok Mittal, IGP of the Rohtak Police Range. “The motive behind categorising the villages is to pay special attention to these villages whose residents are constantly involved in various criminal activities,” said the IGP. He said these criminal activities are directly associated with personal enmity over some petty issues, poll rivalry or property disputes. These disputes have now taken the shape of gang wars in several villages claiming lives of youths, he added. “Out of the 65 identified villages, 22 villages are from Panipat district, 18 from Jhajjar district, 14 from Rohtak district and 11 from Sonepat district. Special strategies will be embarked upon to curb criminal activities and to restore brotherhood and social harmony in these districts,” said Mittal. A communiqué in this regard has been recently shot off to police chiefs of the four districts from the IGP office to prepare a detailed report about cases of personal enmity, poll rivalry and property dispute of the villages, besides names of all those villagers who have indulged in criminal activities. “The police chiefs have been directed to collect information about all pending cases of the villages concerned and those villagers who are out of jail either on bail or parole and have firearms and other weapons,” said Mittal, adding that the police chiefs had been asked to send information to his office within a month. Details about number of victims of personal enmity, poll rivalry and property dispute during the past decade in each village have also been sought from the police chiefs, said the IGP.

Uncovered manholes in Sirsa irk residents
Sirsa, July 2 Uncovered manholes, including the one near the main market, in Ellenabad town have become a matter of concern for the residents. “We have been calling on toll free number issued by the authorities for the past two days, but to no avail,” said local residents. They alleged that a number of sewer manholes are still uncovered in the town. After the death of four-year-old Maahi in Gurgaon by falling in a borewell, Deputy Commissioner J Ganesan had released a toll free number 1800-180-5678 and assured that complaints for uncovered manholes and unsealed borewells registered on this number would be attended immediately. Superintending Engineer Angad Bishnoi said the department has covered as many as 22 manholes in Sirsa town in the past two days. Ganesan, meanwhile, has exercised powers under Section 144 of the CrPC directing all sarpanches to get the open borewells filled or covered in their respective villages.

Abandoned borewells in Ratia pose threat to life
Fatehabad, July 2 It is one of many abandoned borewells lying unattended in the Ratia area much to the detriment of public safety. SDM Harish Bhatia said it is an old well and the authorities would take step to prevent any accident due to this. “The authorities had dug over 400 borewells in the area in the past. Many of these are lying uncovered now risking the lives of small children,” alleged a farmer at Ratia. Abandoned wells without any boundary walls could be seen at several places. Deputy Commissioner ML Kaushik recently headed a meeting of officials from Agriculture Department, Command Area Development Authority, Panchayati Raj department, municipal committee and other departments concerned and issued instructions for taking safety measures. “Fill old and abandoned wells wherever they are in the district or construct 3 to 4 feet high boundary wall around them,” Kaushik told the officials. He told the officials to keep a watch on the people digging borewells without prior permission and take suitable action against them. He also told the officials to register all persons involved in the work of digging tube wells.

Rs 13 cr sanctioned for flood-control measures
Karnal, July 2 The department would construct 40 studs and revetment walls along the banks of the Yamuna to check soil erosion and prevent the river from changing its course and inundate huge tracts of cultivated lands and wash away houses and sheds during the monsoons every year. Monsoons and miseries are synonymous for the people in these areas who haplessly see their villages ravaged by flash floods year after year and the initiative taken by the government this year has kindled hopes that the fury of floods would be mitigated to some extent this year. The department would spend Rs 7 crore on the construction and repair of studs and Rs 6 crore on strengthening and reinforcing check dams. Last year, the discharge of water crossed 7-lakh cusecs mark, which was much above the danger mark. Karnal Deputy Commissioner Renu S Phulia, SP Shashank Shekhar and Irrigation Department officers inspected the flood-prone villages along the Yamuna. The Deputy Commissioner directed the superintending engineer (SE) to speed up the works and ensure that all works be completed by June 30, but the SE said the works were in progress, but they might take about 15 days to complete them. Due to the ban on mining, stones for erecting revetment walls and construction of studs are being transported from the Panipat Thermal Power Plant, which was causing delay and adding to transportation cost. The Deputy Commissioner visited the flood-prone Nabi Pur village where stone pitching was being done along 1.5-km length and 14 studs are being constructed and three others repaired at a cost of Rs 2.80 crore. She also inspected the works at Kamalpur, Ghanaura and Kalsora villages where 18 new studs would be constructed and 2,700 metre area would be covered.

Rare ear surgery performed
Gurgaon, July 2 A team of doctors comprising Dr Shomeshwar Singh, ENT and cochlear implant surgeon, and Dr Gunjan Sachdeva, ENT consultant, conducted the surgery here recently. Bilateral microtia is a medical condition in which the child is born with underdeveloped bilateral outer and middle ears. It is a rare disorder which hits approximately one in 20,000 births. In this condition, in spite of a normal inner ear cochlea, the patient is unable to hear. “In BAHA surgery, the system is surgically implanted and it allows sound waves to be conducted through the bone rather than via middle ear - a process known as direct bone conduction,” the doctors said. They said it was also beneficial for the people with chronic ear infections, congenital external auditory canal atresia and single-sided deafness who cannot benefit from conventional hearing aids. Dr Shomeshwar Singh said BAHA surgery was used to rehabilitate people with conductive and mixed loss hearing impairment. “It is a boon in the case of rare medical conditions like bilateral microtia which is a birth defect,” he added.

KU B.Tech students get 100% placements
Kurukshetra, July 2 Stating this here recently, IMCMT director Prof Rajbir Singh said the course seemed to have become the cynosure of students seeking admission at the graduate-level technical courses. All 28 students in the final year of the course had either been absorbed by the industrial houses or shortlisted for future placement. Out of 28 students in the final batch, 18 students had already been selected by different houses of the packaging industry with a pay package ranging from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh per annum. As many as three out of the 18 students namely Bhanu, Vishal Sharma and Mandhir had been offered a package of Rs 2.5 lakh per annum, while others had been placed at Rs 2 lakh per annum. Besides, four students had been shortlisted by different companies for employment. It is a matter of gratification that six students of the course had been selected for M.Tech programme in different universities, he added. Prof Singh had claimed that this institute was the first in the country to start B.Tech course with this nomenclature. He said packaging was the second largest industry in the world after automobile industry. He said the placement of the students of this course had shown that they were a much sought-after personnel, while there was worldwide slack down in employment for even highly trained postgraduate technical degree holders. The course, therefore, holds great promos for the graduate-level technical degree holders, he added. Another striking feature of the training programme in the institute was that about 100 students from different courses run by the institute had been selected for practical summer training during this academic session, he said. Prof Singh said 51 students were getting training in print media houses, including top most newspapers of the country at present. Besides, 34 students had been attached with electronic media houses, while nine students were getting training in public relations with the Department of Information, Public Relations and Cultural Affairs, Haryana.

Slow work on flyovers draws residents’ ire
Karnal, July 2 Inspite of repeated directions issued by the district administration to the construction company, under-paths beneath the flyovers (under construction) have not been opened.

Sirsa scribe turns Bollywood producer
Sirsa, July 2 Vinod, who started his journalistic career from Sirsa in early 90s as a stringer for vernacular dailies, started his own evening daily “Samarghosh” from the town in 1996. Vinod worked as additional media adviser to the then Haryana Chief Minister, Om Parkash Chautala, from 2001 to 2003 and then launched a news channel Total TV in 2004. After severing his association with the news channel last year, Vinod launched his production house Vin Mehta Films Private Limited, whose first movie “Second Marriage Dot Com” will be launched on August 10. Directed by Gaurav Panjwani, the film has Mohit Chauhan, Vishal Nayak, Sayani Gupta, Charu Rohtagi, Manjeet Toger and Nikita More in its cast. “Akshay, a young IT professional from Delhi, the only child of widower Suneel Narang, embarks on a journey to get his father married to finally put an end to his prolonged loneliness. Coincidentally in Jaipur, a vibrant young girl Poonam is on the same hunt to find a partner for her mother, Shoma; whom she has seen as a divorcee since childhood. They get in touch with each other through a matrimonial website named “second marriage.com” and after initial denial of the idea by their parents they finally sail through and get them married,” Mehta said about the storyline of his film. But this undefined marriage takes some sharp turns and twists when brother and sister get attracted romantically to each other and this family discovers the dark shades of complex relationships… Though India is considered a progressive nation, the mindset of people has not changed. Nowadays, in our society where live-in relationships are increasing, the thought of second marriage with grown up-children is not accepted. Loneliness grips an individual in the journey of life where there is a desire to be with a partner. The conservative set-up and communication gap does not allow a parent and child to openly discuss relationship issues. The movie highlights the issue of second marriage with young children, the loneliness, emptiness in the lives and aftereffects of a complex relationship. It is time when children or the GenX are understanding the emotional needs of their single parent and come forward to address the sensitive issue, Mehta adds.
