UT babus can’t straighten out red tape
Chandigarh, November 9 An official said the Vigilance Department is interlinked with the department of Law and Justice and the Police Department. At present, the charges of these departments are divided between the Adviser and the Home Secretary, which is affecting the working of the Vigilance Department. UT Home Secretary Anil Kumar had joined as the Home Secretary in December last year. For the first time in the history of the Chandigarh Administration, the Home Secretary has been divested of seven major departments, including CITCO and Vigilance, making him probably the weakest incumbent of the chair ever since its inception. Earlier, all these departments were with former Home Secretary Ram Niwas. A few months ago, the charge of CITCO was given back to Anil Kumar as Home Secretary, but the Adviser continued to hold the charge of the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO). Many months have passed, but the improvement in the functioning of the Vigilance Department is still not visible. Moreover, despite the fact that UT Adviser KK Sharma is holding the charge of the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO), people still prefer to complaint to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) instead of the UT Vigilance Department. The poor functioning of the Vigilance Department can be gauged from the fact that the teachers’ recruitment scam of 2009, which was earlier with the UT Vigilance Department, was handed over to the Delhi CBI by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This reflects a clear lack of trust and faith in the UT’s Vigilance Department. The case linked with the education department, which was involved in the recruitment scam, and the Home Department, which oversaw the functioning of the police, was at that point of time headed by Haryana-cadre IAS officer Ram Niwas, who was then the UT Home-cum-Education Secretary. Incidentally, both KK Sharma and Ram Niwas are away to Paris on the same course.

The girl, in her statement to the legal aid counsel, in the presence of a policewoman said she was in love with the youth and had eloped with him out of her own wish. She said her parents were against the relationship and had planned to push her into a rivulet. "The couple came to me yesterday. I advised the girl to concentrate on her studies. It is too early to take a decision. Even the boy was trying to make her understand but she does not want to return home out of fear," said advocate Manbir Singh Rathi. He added, "I have informed the authorities at the district child protection home and have sought help from the police." Till yesterday, the girl was staying in Bal Sadan. "On learning about our relationship, my parents planned to kill me. Fearing for my life, I left my home and even asked Manpreet to accompany me. We reached Delhi and then came to Nada Sahib, Panchkula," said the girl in her statement. Like Shruti, the girl also refused to stay with her parents. She wants to stay in a nari niketan or Bal Sadan in Haryana. She said if she would stay in Punjab, her parents would kill her. She added that her parents had got a kidnapping case registered against the youth.

The girl has sought time to give her statement before the Magistrate in a court at Fatehgarh Sahib.

A virtual death trap
Chandigarh, November 9 In Sector 15 and Sector 22 markets, encroachments not only cause inconvenience to visitors but are also a threat to the life and property of the people. The use of LPG cylinders and gas lights by cylinders can trigger a fire. Overhead high-tension wires are another reason for alarm. Municipal Corporation Chief Fire Officer Rajiv Gupta said the department had issued notices to all rehri market owners a week ago, instructing them to implement fire safety norms. He said that special checks would be conducted in all markets in the next few days. He said he would also ask the Enforcement Department to remove encroachments and ensure installation of fire-fighting equipment at the earliest. The enforcement staff has been conducting anti-encroachment drives, but it’s back to square one after dusk. In the rehri markets of Sector 15, 19, 22 and 23, most of the shopkeepers have not only encroached upon the passages of the market by putting their products there but have also made small stores on the roof of their shops. In Sector 15, owners of small eateries are using the roof to store gas cylinders. It’s the same story in Sector 19 and 22.

Plan afoot to end parking woes outside DC’s office
Chandigarh, November 9 Shayin said due to the parking woes, employees working in different offices of the UT find it difficult to park their vehicles. Many end up parking their two wheelers in the corridors of the Town Hall building, housing the DC’s office and the Estate Office and the additional Town Hall building, housing the office of the excise and taxation. It has been proposed that two underground parking lots, one for four wheelers below the office of the SDO (Building) and another for two wheelers will now be used for parking vehicles belonging to the employees of the Chandigarh Administration. At least 200 vehicles could be accommodated in the two parking
lots.
It has been highlighted time and again that haphazard parking was resulting in total chaos in the parking areas outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office and other government offices located in the Town Hall Building and Town Hall Extension. At times, the access to the DC’s office was blocked by haphazard parking of vehicles on both sides of the road. The MC has been asked to carry out repairs so that the two parking lots could be utilised. “The officials in the UT offices would be asked to park their vehicles in the designated space”, said an official at the Estate Office. Employees at the Estate Office said a vacant plot along a corridor, connecting the Town Hall Building and Town Hall Extension building, could also be levelled and used for parking of official vehicles.
The parking woes
Around 1,000 vehicles are parked daily in the paid parking lots in the vicinity of the Estate Office. Due to shortage of space, two to three vehicles are parked in a row by the private contractors. The traffic police has put up a no parking board on the road which has proved to be of no use. The situation is equally bad in the paid parking lot in front of the 30 Bays Building.

Contractors violating guidelines
Chandigarh, November 9 After visiting a number of parking places, it was found that in most of the paid-parking lots, vehicles were parked on the fire zone lanes. Interestingly, the employees of contractors, who were deployed in the parking lots, were clueless that why the yellow strips were painted in the parking lots. When asked, an employee deployed at a Sector 17 parking lot said it was painted in the parking area to accommodate the vehicles in horizontal form. In some parking lots, the employees of contractors were not even able to convince people that they were not supposed to use this area as it was demarcated for fire-fighting vehicles and any hindrance in the passage is prohibited. MC Additional Commissioner Lalit Siwach, however, reiterated instructions would be issued again to the contractors to make sure that no vehicle is allowed to use space having yellow strips in the parking lots. However, a fire official said time and again communication is sent to the parking lot allotment department to issue strict instructions to avoid parking of vehicles on the yellow zone but it has proved futile, as despite checking no action has been taken against the defaulters by the department to date. One of the senior officials revealed that just by making contractors aware about this fire zone would not solve the problem. The need of the hour is to impose heavy fine on the violators. He said the authorities should add the clause of imposing a fine in the terms and conditions for the allotment of paid- parking lot. A senior fire official said this decision was the fallout of horrendous experience of the Fire Department when fire engines had a tough time reaching the spot two years ago during a fire incident in Sector 22 market, which claimed four lives. The officials said they had been making surprise raids on the parking lots and have also warned the defaulter contractors but due to the absence of any clause in the terms and conditions, no action could be taken against them.

Hike in mess charges: Deadlock between university authorities, students continues
Chandigarh, November 9 The students are demanding rollback in hike of Rs 6 in mess charges. The students assembled outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office this morning and raised slogans against the authorities in the presence of the police. Participation of leaders from various student organisations also irked some protesting students who asked the leaders not to politicise the issue. One of the students stated that he was participating in the protest for a cause and demanded that leaders of student organisations should not play politics over the issue. The PU authorities, however, invited a delegation of students for discussion in the afternoon, but it failed to end the deadlock. The PU authorities floated a proposal to open a counter along with the hostel mess where food would be served at Rs 24 per plate, but the students didn’t agree to it. A meeting with mess contractors was also held during which they refused to serve food at any price less then Rs 30. All contractors claimed that if the university wants they are ready to vacate the hostels mess and stop their services.

Issue NOC to TDI Mall: Home Secy
Chandigarh, November 9 The Home Secretary issued the directions on an appeal filed by the management of the mall stating that the fire department had refused to issue the NOC to the mall. In March, a special inspection was conducted by the fire team during which major violations were detected in the building. These included non-availability of a provision for 6m thorough passage around the building to have free access to fire vehicles in case of a fire. Fire vehicles weighing up to 45 tonnes could not gain access to the building due to the non-availability of open space. Referring to the National Building Code of India, the officials stated that it was mandatory to have 6m wide open space at all sides of the building. Recently, the urban planning department of the UT had asked the fire department to issue the NOC on the basis that the building was under the architect frame control of Le Corbusier so it was not mandatory for any old building of the city to have clear passage for the movement of the fire tender around the premises. Keeping this in view, the fire department should issue the NOC to the mall at the earliest. While rejecting the suggestion, the fire department replied that the mall was not covered under the architect frame control of Le Corbusier because it was constructed recently and so it could not avail the relaxation under the architect frame control rule of Le Corbusier.

Dengue cases on the rise
Chandigarh, November 9 Going by the data available with the Chandigarh unit of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, the number of dengue cases reported this time has been the highest in the past five years. Experts said the alarming rise in the number of cases was a clear indication of the poor preparedness of the Chandigarh Administration against the spread of the disease. They said dengue had emerged as a common disease, with cases arising more than once a year now, whereas the situation was more under control few years back.
Dengue cases this year
Symptoms High fever, severe headache, severe pain behind eyes, joint pain, muscle and bone pain, rashes and mild bleeding
“Few years ago, the deadly dengue fever used to be a rare thing in the country. The cases came up once in two or three years. However, the disease has now become as common as malaria even as the risk to life in it is much higher than that in malaria,” says Dr Rajesh Gill, Head, Department of Community Medicine, PGIMER. Few cases of dengue were reported early this year at city hospitals, but the spread of the disease intensified in the post-monsoon season. While there were 73 cases of dengue last year, the number was 221 in 2010. In 2009, a total of 25 residents were affected by dengue against 167 in 2008. The disease claimed six lives across the tricity
this year.

Sugar-free sweets are a hit this season
Chandigarh, November 9 “These days, people are conscious of their health. Not just diabetics but others too are buying sugar-free sweets, says Sharanjit Singh, director of a chain of sweet shops in Chandigarh. He says there are 50-60% less calories in calories in these sweets. “We try to retain the natural sweetness of the raw material in our sweets,” says Neeraj Bajaj, owner of a sweet shop in Sector 17. He said they have sold more sugar-free sweets in retail compared to last year. However, these sweets are 20-25% costlier. “It is predominantly due to more labour charges,” said Neeraj Bajaj The shops also stock sugar-free imported chocolates, sugar-free juices and other eatables. Mohali-based dietician, Dr Sonia Gandhi however is of view that one should not consume too many sugar-free sweets. The sweets have khoya, milk, oil and other variants and these ingredients are high in calories. “We are not really sure how much lower in calories these sugar-free sweets were from normal sweets,” she said. Medical practitioners have also cautioned people against buying sugar-free sweets as they contained sugar-free powder which was not good for health.

Applicants yet to get allotment letters
Stage a dharna outside the office of the Chandigarh Housing Board Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 9 The employees lamented that for the past four years, they had been waiting for a house under the 2008-special housing scheme floated by the Chandigarh Housing Board. A clause in the housing scheme bars the applicants from owning any property in the tricity. Not only the serving employees, a number of retired employees, who have surrendered their official accommodation, are putting up in rented accommodation. "The irony is that one cannot apply for a house anywhere and the CHB's scheme is moving at a snail's pace," said the employees. Each applicant has paid Rs 70,000 as earnest money. Officials in the CHB stated that though the layout plan of the scheme had been approved by the Chief Architect, the possession of the land in Sectors 52, 53 and 56 was yet to be given to the CHB. It is learnt that the CHB is yet to get environmental clearance for the project. The successful applicants are annoyed over the inordinate delay in the issuance of allotment letters. The employees lamented that despite the draw of lots in November, 2010, no allotment letter had been issued and the cost of construction had gone up. Many employees had taken loan to fund the cost of their flats, they added.
