Eve-teasing makes girls stop going to school
Rewari, January 3 Besides the school authorities too apparently took the continued large-scale "absenteeism" of the girl students from the school, lightly. However when this serious matter somehow caught the attention of the district administration, SDM GL Yadav, DSP Krishan Lal, District Development and Panchayat Officer Narender Sarwan, District Education Officer Virender Singh Yadav and other senior officials held parleys with the aggrieved girls, their guardians and village elders at Sooma village, 20 km from Rewari, on December 28. But when their prolonged persuasive efforts failed to bring the guardians to round , who also gave a bit of their mind to the officials, SSP Bharti Arora reached the venue and immediately took command of the boiling situation. She held a closed door meeting with some of the aggrieved girls following which the situation took a turn for the better. Simultaneously when the district police chief firmly assured that while the girl students would be provided full-fledged security, the puckish youths too would immediately be dealt with sternly, the guardians readily expressed their willingness to send their daughters to the school. Thus at the behest of the SSP, the Jatusana police apprehended five miscreants, Pramod, Deepak, Parvinder, Azad and Amit, all residents of Lala village after simultaneous registration of a case of obscenity and criminal intimidation against them. In this way, the girl students again started going to school from December 29.

Rewari, January 3 As regards the Chief Minister’s rally at Bawal, Rao Inderjit Singh, who had been at loggerheads with the Chief Minister for a long time, said at a press conference here that the rally’s purposefulness would be justified only if the Chief Minister announced acceptance of the major demands of the people of the Bawal region. He explained that he had already sent a communication to the Chief Minister regarding these cardinal requirements which included recommencement of a Research Centre at the HAU’s Regional Research Station (RRS) at Bawal, restoration of the discontinued Agriculture College at the RRS, upgradation of the Bawal Tehsil into a Sub Division and establishment of an ITI
and a Polytechnic College at Bawal, which was now an industrial hub of the district. Besides he also wanted the CM to announce the upgradation of the Community Health Centre of Bawal into a 100-bedded hospital as it was a dire necessity for the residents. Simultaneously replying to a journalist’s query, Rao said that while acquisition of farmers’ land should forthwith be stayed throughout Haryana and if it was imperative, the state government should acquire it from farmers only in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Union Government’s new policy of acquisition of land.

Change in mindset underscored
Hisar, January 2 This is precisely what came out of a "Mahila Suraksha Samkalp Divas" organised by the Hisar police here today. The programme was organised in view of the present social scenario where people are simmering after Delhi gang rape and demanding concrete steps to end sexual violence against women. Hisar Division Commissioner Neelam Pradeep Kasni, Hisar IG Arshinder Singh Chawla, DC Amit Agarwal and B Satheesh Balan,SP, were among those who addressed the function. "Both men and women are equal creations of nature. But gender discrimination in society had made women vulnerable," said Kasni . Urging people to provide good education to their daughters for their empowerment, she said undereducated women were more
prone to ill-designs of perpetrators of crimes against women. Chawla said society had both good and bad people and it was the duty of saner people to try and change the mindset of those who possessed an evil mindset. DC Amit Agarwal said while the authorities and the police would do its best to ensure safety of women, it was time for all to introspect and work for some changes at the social level so that women could feel secure in society. B Satheesh Balan, SP, said various surveys had proved that a shift in the mindset of society and improving social milieu was more important for curbing crimes against women than anything else.

New year celebrations in Gurgaon lose their spark
Gurgaon, January 3 The much talked about Honey Singh show, whose couple tickets were worth Rs 15,000, was cancelled at the last minute reportedly following the angst over his song lyrics which had been dubbed as profane and misogynistic by an online petition. Even at other venues including the pubs, discos and lounges the usual crowd and enthusiasm was missing with women apparently having chosen to stay back. Even several RWA’s and clubs boycotted and cancelled celebrations. Meanwhile Gurgaon police's months of planning and elaborate action plan finally paid off as city managed to have a virtually trouble-free new year’s eve celebrations this year. With 4,000 policemen out on roads and MG road going vehicle free the police managed to avoid the much speculated chaos and ruckus as both boys and girls chose safety over the wild celebrations. “I had pledged that we shall ensure that there is no encore of 2012 celebrations and we manged to achieve it.

He said that his Aam Aadmi Party's first target is to contest assembly elections in Delhi and for this the entire focus of the party is to constitute polling booth level committees in the national capital. He said after contesting the assembly election in Delhi, the AAP will win all future elections.

Arvind Kejriwal's son, Pulkit Kejriwal, a VI standard student of Delhi Public School in Noida, also accompanied his father in the marriage. "Papa often said that we should do something that our parents are known by our names. But this can not be true in my case. Because, by launching a drive against corruption, my Papa has become so popular that I shall always be known by his name," said Pulkit, who is known as Arvind Kejriwal (Junior) among his teachers and fellow students. "Whenever, out teachers talk about the victory of honesty over corruption and mention the name of my Papa and his campaign during our morning assembly, all eyes, whether my juniors of senior Bhayas and Didis turn towards me, which makes me feel proud for my father," said Kejriwal Junior. He said the biggest quality of his father was that he never lost patience, whatever the circumstances. He also said though his father's campaign against corruption has resulted in his late return to home almost daily, his mother Sunita, elder sister Harshita and he had become accustomed to it. "Sometimes, we are not able to meet our Papa in the night, but get up soon after hearing his voice in the morning," Pulkit added. On his life's aim, Pulkit said he was a cricket fan and wanted to become a cricketer. "But helping Papa in his endeavours to make India free from corruption will also always be prime aim of his life," he added.

Kanda's face blackened on posters in Sirsa
Sirsa/Fatehabad, January 3 The anger being witnessed among people in general and young women in particular is unprecedented and had forced politicians and those in the administration to succumb under people’s anger and remove posters carrying pictures of former minister Gopal Kanda, an accused in the Geetika Sharma suicide case. The authorities in Fatehabad, Ratia and Sirsa had to order removal of former minister Gopal Kanda’s hoardings sensing people’s reaction. Supporters of Gopal Kanda, presently in jail in connection with his former staffer Geetika Sharma’s suicide, had installed his hoardings at Sirsa, Fatehabad and other neighbouring towns wishing him a happy birthday that fell on December 29 and also wishing New Year greetings to people from his side. However, angry people already simmering with anger against the Delhi gang rape turned their ire on Kanda's posters, tearing and torching some of them in Fatehabad. In Sirsa, residents blackened Kanda’s face on some posters. The residents also exhibited their resentment with the authorities on this issues forcing them to remove Kanda’s hoardings at some places. Angry residents have also come out with strong reactions on the Delhi gang-rape issue and suggested stern punishment for the perpetrators. “Ever since the commission of the crime, everybody talks about tougher punishment for the criminals. Majority of people have suggested death penalty while some suggested chemical or surgical castration as punishment to the gang rape accused. However, both the punishments suggested above may not prove a deterrent as human memory is very short. People will forget once the culprits are hanged”, said Advocate Chhabil Dass Arora from Sirsa. “It would, therefore, be imperative to find out an alternative to death penalty for rarest of the rare cases of rape. The doers of such heinous crimes must suffer much more than their victims have suffered. The befitting punishment in such cases would be to put the accused in a zoo with an impressive label reminding the public forever of their criminal deeds. They should be made to live like discarded animals and be fed in that fashion till their death. They acted like beasts and should be made to live like beasts for their remaining lives”, added Arora, seeking an amendment in the IPC in this regard. Gita Rathee, an Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department of Chaudhary Devi Lal University, said surgical castration was the most fitting punishment to the perpetrators of the heinous crime of rape. “Capital punishment will not serve the purpose, as it would give them an easy death. Let them lead a life with a feeling that they will never be able to commit such heinous crime to women for the rest of their lives”, said Rathee. Dr Ved Beniwal, patron of the state chapter of the Indian Medical Association, however, did not favour castration as a punishment for the rapist. Dr Beniwal said surgical castration resulted in some hormonal ahd behavoural changes, which could lead to the person indulging in the worst kind of brutality towards people, particularly towards women.

"Keep your wounds green India, keep your wounds green," said Ruby Singh in her post on Facebook. Like Facebook, another social site Twitter is also flooded with messages on the victim's death. Film star Abhishek Bachchan tweeted, "This is not the country I grew up as a child, this is not the country I want my daughter to know while she grows up." "Wonder how many lives will be lost before we as a society fix ourselves? And before our States take corrective measures?" tweeted actor Gul Panag. Lyricist Javed Akhtar said its not only the government and the police who are responsible for the death, but each one of us was answerable.
