Mixed response to bandh
New Delhi, September 20 Thousands of activists of the BJP and other parties were seen asking people to down the shutters of their establishments, but it seemed that office-goers, factory owners, shopkeepers were not convinced by their arguments. The bandh call was given to pressurise the government into withdrawing its decision on the FDI, hiked prices of diesel and LPG. Different parties which were supporting the bandh held protest at different parts of the city. The BJP protested in the main markets of Vikas Marg, Chandni Chowk, Khari Baowli, Karol Bagh, Sadar Bazar, Connaught Place, Lajpat Nagar, INA market, South Extension, Britania Chowk, Nehru Place, etc. while the Left parties had their protest near Akshardham Temple and the Samajwadi Party concentrated in the trans-Yamuna area and other parts of the Capital where people of Uttar Pradesh are in majority. No effect of bandh was seen on transportation in the Capital as autos and buses operated in a normal way. Though auto drivers at railway stations staged a protest and refused to ply. Buses of the state-run Delhi Transport Corporation were on roads in large numbers. Secretary of the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, a BJP-supported auto union, Rajinder Soni said, "We have already said that auto drivers will operate their vehicles for emergency services. Some protests were noticed at railway stations, ISBTs, airport but overall autos and taxis operated during the bandh." General secretary of the Delhi Tipahiyya Chalak Union Rippan Tuli said that auto services were not affected during the bandh. Full strength of attendance was reported in government offices. People reached their offices on time. Management of the private schools had announced yesterday for closing their institutes due to fear of traffic jam and violence, but the government schools functioned in a normal way. The BJP supporters blocked vehicular movement on Vikas Marg and at some other places for a few minutes. There was tight security arrangement on roads and markets so that no untoward incident could take place. Protesters were asked by the police to leave at least a lane for traffic movement. The BJP workers burnt effigies of the Prime Minister and Delhi Chief Minister at 100 different places in the Capital. Delhi unit chief of the BJP Vijender Gupta, along with a large number of workers, marched towards the Prime Minister's house but all the marchers were detained. Later, they were released.

As soon as Manoj opened the door, Vijay fired indiscriminately with his revolver. Manoj took five shots in the stomach while three bullets hit Prakshi. Prakshi died on the spot while Manoj succumbed to his injuries on the way to hospital," said the police official. "After Vijay's sister died under mysterious circumstances, Manoj remarried.

ABVP, NSUI to share DUSU
joint secy post
New Delhi, September 20 It has been decided that Basoya will hold the post of the joint secretary from September 20 to March 5, 2013, while Choudhary will take over from March 6 to August 15. A notification from the university said that the draw was held under the formula of half of the period to be shared by the two victorious candidates. Both candidates had secured 13,164 votes in the election, the results for which were announced on September 15. The ABVP, which lost all the three main posts on the students' panel to the NSUI, had accused the election office of fraud and abuse following the announcement of results. Many ABVP activists, including Basoya, were injured during the police crackdown. ABVP state secretary Rohit Chahal today said that Basoya couldn't attend the draw today since he was on bed rest. "He was hospitalised due to injuries in the ribs and a shoulder. He had written to the chief election officer about his condition but they went ahead with the draw without any of his representative present there. We were under the impression that the draw will decide one winner but they gave half the period to Raveena Choudhary after the draw threw up Vishu's name,"
he said. |
