Driving under stress may cause accidents, warns expert
Gurgaon, January 14 Under the programme, ace instructors from Maruti driving schools have been visiting different colleges located in Gurgaon to spread awareness on safe-driving practices. The programme has been designed in an interactive mode to ensure the young audience absorbs the safe-driving messages. Some activities undertaken under the programme include nukkad natak (street-plays), random on-the-spot quizzes and other interactive sessions. Mahesh Rajouria, Chief General Manager, Maruti Suzuki, maintains: According to the WHO, road mishaps are the leading killer of youth in India. As many as 30 per cent victims of fatal road accidents in the country are from the age group of 15-24 years. Through this campaign, we are doing our bit to educate youngsters about safe driving practices. Asserting that the company had trained nearly 11 lakh persons in safe driving practices through its 230 driving schools and six Institutes of Driving Training and Research(IDTRs) across the country, the CGM expressed satisfaction over the active participation of a good number of students in the drive. Rajouria explained that the training curriculum focused on behavioural aspect of driving. Most of the vehicle owners and drivers know how to drive the vehicle, but their behvaiour on the road is full of stress, anger and all sorts of negative and disturbing emotions. That where we aim to bring a difference. Our street plays tackle the psychological pressure points and we are confident that the students would benefit from this workshop.

Haryanavi film 'Kunba' on ills of social disorder
Thus when he was the master of all he surveyed, his eldest son, who is a Major in the Army, is abruptly killed in an Army operation against the terrorists while Babu Ji himself suffers an attack of cerebral haemorrhage. This gives a shattering blow to Kunba unity and other values resulting in Babu Ji expulsion from home and his lodgment in an old-age home at the hands of his remaining two sons and their wives who start treading a pathetic course. Thus while Babu Ji languishes in the old-age home, the entire family stands bereft of his elderly patronage. The film is thus a veritable portrayal of the ills of the present-day social order in which elderly people miserably suffer because of the callous indifference of the young generation. The story of the film, whose shooting was carried out in Rewari, Gurgaon, Kurukshetra and Kaithal old-age home, has been scripted by Vijay Bhatotia, a seasoned artist-cum-story writer of the Ahirwal region, who also spiritedly plays the role of Babu Ji in the film. While noted Bollywood stars-Kadar Khan and Mushtaq Khan lend luminosity to the film, Haryanavi cast comprising of
Uttam Kumar, Kavita Joshi, Rekah Chaudhary, Preeti Karde, Jyoti Chaurasia, Virender Kaushik, Shailender Kataria and child artistes Suraj Yadav, Baby Vrinda Gupta and Diya Kataria provide emotion-charged performances in it. Along with a celebrated Bollywood maestro Ravinder Jain, Haryanavi musicians- JP Kaushik and Ashok Verma have scored music for it whereas the songs, composed by lyricists- Satpal Deshwal, Subhash Sharma and Angrez Singh, have been warbled by vocalists- Suresh Wadekar, Mohammad Aziz, Vinod Rathore, Shiv Nigam, Gulab Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Dilraj Kaur and Jaswinder Narula. Directed by Yash Chauhan, the film Kunba has been produced by Jasbir Chaudhary and his co-producer Rao Ajit Singh Khaira.

Minister promises adequate drinking
water supply to Bhiwani
Bhiwani, January 14 "Before I took over the reins of the Public Health Engineering Department in Haryana, sewer system in Bhiwani was in a mess. No government cared to improve the system, which was laid by my father-in-law Chaudhary Bansi Lal during his tenure as the Chief Minister," Kiran Chaudhary said. The minister said she was thankful to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for giving her an opportunity to serve people as the Public Health Engineering Minister, where she could mitigate the problems of people. Bhiwani had witnessed one of the worst floods in 2009 due to choking of sewers, which were considered much less in capacity than the actual requirement of the town. However, after joining Haryana cabinet as a minister, Kiran Chaudhary had started complete revamping of the system making it capable of meeting the requirement of several years ahead. She said she had prepared a plan for sewerage and drinking water systems for Bhiwani that people would not need any augmentation for the next 40 years. The minister listened to the grievances of people on the occasion. VS Dagar, Superintending Engineer of the Public Health Engineering, several municipal councilors and prominent persons of the area were present on this occasion.

Manch flays Vaish Samaj chief's remarks on quota
Kurukshetra, January 14 HSNM general secretary Mohan Lal Dhiman said the caste was unchangeable and it was easier to certify the same by authorities. On the other hand, it was difficult to certify the economic condition of a person as the nation had already faced the situation, in which BPL cards were being grabbed by influential persons while the poor had been ignored," Dhiman said. "The persons, earning crores of rupee, can easily get the lower-income certificates on the basis of false documents. The government provides crores of rupees as grants and land to caste-based schools, dharamshalas and other institutions, which are serving the public at large," Dhiman said. He said the people from lower castes were educationally backward. "Privatisation of education had increased the problem because the rules for reservation are being openly violated. The Article 340 of our Constitution provides reservation only to those who are socially and educationally backward. Even a move to add the word,economic, was rejected by the Parliament in 1955," he added. Ram Rattan Kataria said the HSNM had no objection to provide 10 per cent or more reservation to the poor upper-caste people. HSNM chief patron Ram Sarup Jangra, Arjun Dass Dhiman, senior vice-president Baljit Saini, vice-president Jai Pal Panchal, Hawa Singh Yadav, Ishwar Kamboj were present on the occasion.
