History repeats itself, Cong gets new rebel
Gurgaon, March 4 At that time, these leaders showed the rebellious streak in a bid to keep the all-powerful and well-connected Bhajan Lal away from Chief Minister’s office. Thanks to his destiny and crucial support provided by leaders like late Om Prakash Jindal and Surender Singh, Hooda succeeded in being installed the Chief Minister. In the beginning, Rao Inderjit, Selja and Birender Singh remained close to Hooda camp. But by and by, political equations changed and Hooda began to drift away from his harsh-weather friends of yesteryears. However, the rift was not out in the open as the leaders maintained a strategic silence for some time. Then, their pent-up feelings began to ooze out and Hooda became the bête noire of his former friends. Senior Congress leader and Union minister Selja has recently alleged discrimination against her constituency Ambala in development. As per the reports, she has also expressed displeasure against the state regime for neglecting her constituency as well as the home district. Another veteran Congressman, sitting Gurgaon MP and former Union Minister Rao Inderjit has gone a step further by forming a public forum “Haryana Insaaf Manch” in protest against the Chief Minister’s alleged regional bias in development and distribution of government jobs. Addressing the gathering at Insaaf rally organised at Pataudi yesterday, Rao and his supporters categorically accused Hooda of giving jobs and developmental projects to his own area and step-motherly treatment with south-Haryana region. Curiously, Rao Inderjit also lambasted another former friend Birender Singh at the Pataudi rally. Birender Singh had recently shared dias with Hooda and both leaders had resolved to sink their differences and work together, at least publicly. Nonetheless, the stance actually adopted by Hooda and Birender - a self-declared CM aspirant - towards each other at the time of elections remains to be seen. By announcing the formation of Haryana Insaaf Manch, Rao Inderjit has become the first one to take a concrete step on the path of rebellion. Team Inderjit will now tour different parts of the state under the aegis of the Haryana Insaaf Manch in a bid to mobilise support for equitable development and employment opportunities. They hope that their public forum would become a rallying point for the Congressmen frustrated at the unjust distribution of jobs and developmental projects by the present state regime. Then, at an opportune time, the rebel leader may upgrade the forum into a political party and jump into the poll fray in election year 2014. In the meanwhile, if the Congress leadership decides to expel Rao Inderjit from the party, it may also work in his favour by getting him people’s sympathy. The other two former friends of the present-day Chief Minister are yet to open their cards.

Rs 20-lakh X-ray machine lies in disuse
Ambala, March 4 A number of cases are referred to the trauma centre from various parts of the district. Most of the trauma patients require X-ray, ultrasound and CT scan. The trauma patients are taken to the main X-ray room of the hospital, located in the old building. During winters it is very difficult to transport seriously injured patient on a trolley to the old building, which is about 1500 yards away from the centre. According to information, the radiology department of the hospital has the posts of five radiographers and one radiologist. The post of radiologist has been lying vacant for the past six years while only one radiographer is available in the hospital. Earlier, the hospital authorities had taken up the matter with the higher authorities but nothing was done. When contacted, PMO of the hospital, Dr Pankaj Garg, said the X-ray machine of the centre could not be used following shortage of radiographers. The facility of CT scan is also not available in the centre. Generally, patients requiring CT scan, are referred to Chandigarh. Poor patients face great difficulty in visiting Chandigarh.

Malik sings Haryanavi 'ragnies' in English with folk tunes
Sonepat, March 4 He has also translated 100 'ragnies' of the renowned folk singer, Pandit Lakhmi Chand, from Haryanavi to English. Before him, retired IAS officer, KC Sharma, translated about 50 'ragnies' way back in 1983, but these could not be sung in English with folk tones and folk instruments. Talking to The Tribune on the sidelines of a “Sonepat Ratan Samman Samaroh” held at Sonepat recently in which Malik also gave a presentation of an English-translated 'ragni' of Pandit Lakhmi Chand, he said, “It is my motive to spread the literature of Pandit Ji in every corner of the world. After translation of these Haryanavi 'ragnies' , these will become an international heritage.” In his opinion, these 'ragnies' could not go beyond the boundary of Haryana due to the barricade of English language.”But now the time has changed and change is the law of nature,” he said and added that a council named as “Pandit Lakhmi Chand Shaikshanik aivm Sahittyik Parishad, Gohana” has been constituted with famous Haryanavi singer Master Satbir as the chief patron. One of the translated 'ragnies' is the famous story of Padmawat when Padmawat was enjoying herself on a swing. “Chaugarde Kai Baag Hara, Ghan Ghor Ghata Saman Ki- Chhori Gavein Geet Sureele Jhool Ghali Kaman Ki” (Green garden along four sides, darkness of Swan - Girls are singing a song sweetly, putting the swing of Kaman). Another piece of translation is of a 'ragni' based on social values and it goes as “Roen Maan Ghate bande Ka, Dukh Chinta Mein Kaya- Unreeti Tein Raj Chala Ja, Jhagde Tein Dhan Maya” (From weeping one loses respect, body weakens from sorrow and tension - from injustice ends rule, dispute makes a person lose his
wealth).
After listening to the poetry of Pandit Lakhmi Chand, the whole world would know the achievement of India in the realm of meditation and philosophy, Malik said, adding that humanity could benefit from such a rich literature.

Cong, INLD in tussle over credit for Sirsa-Fatehabad railway link
Sirsa, March 4 “Sirsa parliamentary constituency has received several new projects in the recent railway budget, the biggest being the Sirsa-Hisar-Agroha- Fatehabad rail link. A Kaushal Vikas Kendra for Sirsa as announced in the budget will provide youngsters an opportunity to develop their skills,” Tanwar said in an interaction with mediapersons at Sirsa. He claimed that he had raised demands of people vigorously with the Union Minister, which led to the announcements. Tanwar’s supporters received him at the Delhi bridge on the outskirts of Sirsa and took him around the town in an open jeep. Sirsa District Congress president Malkiat Singh Khosa, Sirsa Urban president Bhupesh Mehta, Dr Virender Siwach and several others accompanied Ashok Tanwar. In Fatehabad, Chief Parliamentary Secretary Prahlad Singh Gillankhera led the leaders’ felicitation. In a public meeting held at Fatehabad, the speakers said owing to Tanwar’s efforts, a long standing demand of the residents was fulfilled. Meanwhile, the Indian National Lok Dal alleged that the people of Sirsa had got announcements during the past nine years and not a single announcement had been translated into reality. “Tanwar is misleading people by claiming that he has brought Hisar-Agroha-Fatehabad-Sirsa rail link. The rail link was approved by former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav,” said Padam Jain, district president of the INLD. Jain alleged that despite Yadav’s announcement several years ago, Ashok Tanwar had not been able to get the project started.

Women need ‘political empowerment’
Yamunanagar, February 4 Verma said that the women were not just recipients of development but could play an active role in planning and execution of gender- friendly projects. She stressed on using the money optimally for the development and maintenance of the city and also exhorted parents to inculcate high values among children. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Krishna Pandit, former Parliamentary Secretary (health), emphasised on creating an exclusive image of the city, which would reflect its history, philosophy and culture. She also inspired the participants to develop a theme for the city. She said there was a need to plan a gender-friendly city by having network of schools, health centres and super markets and public transport. She lamented that town planning generally became a victim of colonisation by private players and this could be put to an end only if the citizens became more vigilant and responsible. The chairperson of the symposium and director of Utthan Institute of Development and Studies, Dr Anju Bajpai, said an all round development of the city required facilities like libraries, playgrounds, common places for cultural activities and public parks. She said there should be better roads to get rid of congestion. She said though the government had made necessary rules for the maintenance and development of the city, these rules were often being broken with impunity. The women of the city could ensure that these laws were followed and respected, Bajpai said. Principal Dr PK Bajpai encouraged the women to come together on a platform to raise their voice against the problems faced by them. "It is through political empowerment that they can make other learn about their issues and force them to solve their problems," he said. During the programme, women from academics, social work, administration, politics, business and other fields shared their vision of a dream city. Presenting a summary of their views, convener of the symposium and coordinator of women cell of the college, Dr Karuna, said the platform was provided to make women realise that they were important part of society.

Install CCTV cameras, police tells traders Ambala, March 4 Police commissioner Rajbir Deswal during a meeting with the representatives of various market associations and businessmen, suggested that all establishments should get the camera installed. The move came in the wake of a few day-light robberies, in which criminals had snatched lakhs of rupees and managed to flee. Though, the police had been able to crack these case, the Police Commissioner said instead of fighting the crime, the police intended to put in place a mechanism, which could also help them in preventing crime. He said the fear of being caught in the CCTV cameras would definitely prove to be a deterrent for miscreants and help the local traders to carry out their business without the fear for robbery and snatching. Deswal said the police had also taken up the matter with the local banks, petrol pumps, hotels and other important establishments to have CCTV cameras installed. He said the police was would also evolve a new system to make sure that the alarm systems, installed on banks' premises, were checked.
