6 Chief Parliamentary Secretaries inducted
Shimla, May 13 He was followed by Rakesh Kalia, three-time legislator who had been elected twice from Chintpurni in Una district. He had shifted to Gagret after delimitation as Chintpurni was reserved for a Scheduled Caste legislator. Nand Lal, two-time legislator from Rampur Bushahr in Shimla district, which is Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh's hometown, was sworn in as well. Rohit Thakur, former Chief Minister Thakur Ram Lal's grandson, who had been elected from Jubbal-Kotkhai for the second time, was also sworn in. Sohan Lal, two-time legislator from Sundernagar in Mandi district, and Inder Dutt Lakhanpal, first-timer from Badsar in Hamirpur district, were the other two legislators to be sworn in. With this the number of Chief Parliamentary Secretaries increased to nine. The first expansion was carried out last month when Mandi legislator Anil Sharma was inducted as Cabinet Minister. There are 11 ministers including the Chief Minister and one ministerial berth is vacant. Virbhadra Singh was keen to induct Banjar legislator Karan Singh. Karan Singh's name had been approved in principle, but the high command had not given its nod to his inclusion. Virbhadra Singh said the lone vacancy would be filled at the appropriate time. The Chief Minister administered the oath during a ceremony at the secretariat today. Ministers Vidya Stokes, Sujan Singh Pathania, Thakur Singh Bharmouri, Mukesh Agnihotri, Sudhir Sharma and Parkash Chaudhary, Cooperative Bank Chairman Harsh Mahajan, state Congress president Sukhvinder Singh and senior officers were present. The Chief Parliamentary Secretaries were assigned departments and attached to ministers concerned. Jagjivan Pal was attached to the Irrigation and Public Health Minister, Rakesh Kalia to the Chief Minister for ayurveda, Nand Lal to the Health and Family Welfare Minister, Rohit Thakur to the Power Minister and Sohan Lal and Inder Dutt Lakhanpal to the Rural Development Minister. |

HP to allow FDI in housing
Shimla, May 13 The Urban Development Department and the Town and Country Planning Department have started the exercise of identifying areas for the townships proposed to be set up in Shimla, Solan, Hamirpur, Una and Mandi districts. The main objective is to reduce congestion in existing towns and check haphazard construction in the periphery. "Instead of allowing apartments to come up without basic amenities, the government wants planned townships which will have facilities for education, health and employment along with other necessities," says Urban Development Minister Sudhir Sharma. The Himachal Pradesh Housing and Urban Development Authority (HIMUDA) will be a facilitator and will not have any active role in the projects. Promoters will have to develop water sources and will not be allowed to tap existing sources. This condition had been imposed keeping in view the shortage of water in the state. He says the townships cannot be set up in the public sector as it requires huge investment and the government does not funds for the purpose. The previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regime had invited applications for plots and flats through HIMUDA under a demand survey but no serious effort had been made to develop the townships. There were over 72,000 applicants and they had started withdrawing Rs 5,000 submitted with each application. The BJP regime had not directed HIMUDA not to return the amount. The Congress government wants to being in FDI in housing and retail. The BJP is opposed to FDI. The Food and Civil Supplies Minister announced last week that the government would invite big players like Walmart and Metro. Home boom in offing

Brahmins against quota based on caste
Bilaspur, May 13 The sabha said the reservation policy should be based on the economic condition of a person and not on caste basis, which was dividing the society and damaging the national integration. The meeting was attended by a large number of leaders at the Ghumarwin Shiva Mandir complex, near here, last evening. Floral tributes were paid to Bhagwan Parshuram while remembering the great warrior saint, who saved humanity from terror and injustice several centuries ago.

Agriculture university holds workshop on
kharif crops
Palampur, May 13 Dr SK Sharma, Vice-Chancellor of the university, inaugurated the workshop and expressed satisfaction that in the last three preceding years, crop production had increased in the state. The Vice-Chancellor said the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) had been requested to sanction a centre at the university to accelerate research work on vegetable crops. As the protected cultivation was gaining ground, there was a need to concentrate research on it, he said. He said DNA fingerprinting work should be initiated on paddy and vegetable hybrid seeds as the state farmers were coming forward to adopt hybrid seeds of these crops from the private sector. Dr JC Rana, director of Agriculture, elaborated about preparations for kharif crops. He said a target of 8.96 lakh tonnes of crop production had been fixed for the kharif season and 30,000 quintal seed had been arranged in addition to other requisite inputs. An area of 2,000 hectares would be brought under organic agriculture and another 1,000 hectare under drip irrigation, he said. Dr SP Sharma, director of research, said the university was evaluating seeds of private companies by DNA fingerprinting so that farmers might not be duped by private companies. He said research work on farm mechanisation, seed production and crop protection had been accelerated. Dr KK Katoch, director, Extension Education, expressed hope that sustainability would enable the state to reach required food crop production targets in future. |

Sirmaur Succession Row
Shimla, May 13 Uday Prakash, the maternal grandson of the Maharaja, who was adopted by Maharani Durga Devi, also urged the intervention of Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on the issue. He had met the Chief Minister here last week to apprise him of the proposed “tilak” and “installation” ceremony of her grandson by Padmini Devi, who is married into the Jaipur royal family. Padmini is the daughter of Nalini Devi, the second wife of the Maharaja. “It was way back in 1948 that the princely state of Sirmaur merged into the dominion of India and has since been part of independent India. Therefore, the act of installing someone is unconstitutional and against the sovereignty of the country and must be stopped at all cost,” wrote Uday in a letter addressed to the Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur. He added that the “tilak and installation” were a misnomer being used on the invites sent out for the function. Even as the two legal heirs of the erstwhile ruler of Sirmaur remain divided over the proposed ceremony, Uday expressed apprehension that some damage or disturbance could be caused to the portion of the palace owned by him. He said a common passage to the two portions of the palace was used. “No doubt she if the daughter of the late Maharaja, but since her marriage into the Jaipur royal family in 1966, her gotra has changed and she can no longer extend invitations on behalf of the family of the erstwhile rulers of Sirmaur,” he said. He also refuted claims by Ajay Bahadur, a member of the family of the erstwhile rulers, that his adoption was not valid. “According to the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, a widow has the right to adopt an issue, who will be deemed to be the adopted son of the family and will have all the rights of a natural born son. This adoption was duly registered vide adoption deed dated February 23, 1965, in the office of the sub-registrar, Lucknow, in book number 4, volume 765, pages 97 to 100 at serial number 63,” he said. Uday said his adoption was affirmed and recognised after the reports from GA Shah, Joint Secretary, Legal Affairs on May 10, 1965, by the Law Ministry. He claimed that it was on this very account that he kept receiving the maintenance given by the Government of India to heirs of the erstwhile rulers. “As for Ajay Bahadur receiving the palanquin at the Renuka fair was in his capacity as an MLA and not as a member of the royal family,” he said. He admitted that the pyre of the Maharaja was lit by the Raj Purohit, but, thereafter, his wife, Maharani Durga Devi, arrived in Nahan and performed all the rituals as per Hindu belief. |

Cheer pheasants to be released into wild soon
Solan, May 13 The Cheer Pheasant Conservation Breeding Project at Chail, which was initiated in 2008 with funds worth Rs 3.24 crore, has successfully bred a stock of 62 pheasants. In the Khariun pheasantry, 30 females and 24 males have been bred, while in the Blossom pheasantry, five females and three males have been bred. The wildlife officials have now decided to release 10 pairs of cheer pheasant in the age group of two to five years. The officials are now finalising its release plan, which will comprise suitable locations where these pheasants will be released. Factors like provision of natural habitat and easy monitoring to assess the success of the breeding programme will be taken into account while finalising locations for their release. AK Gulati, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife)-cum-Chief Wildlife Warden, said a meeting of the wildlife officials would be convened shortly to finalise locations and issue like new and old sites for their release would be finalised after considering various factors and personal monitoring over the released pheasants. Issues like soft release of the bred stock, which included their initial release into bigger protected enclosures, would also be finalised in the meeting which would pave way for their future release, he said. Since one such experiment conducted in Pakistan had failed, the officials wanted to tread carefully and weigh all the aspects before finalising their release into the wild, Dinesh Pal, range forest officer, Chail, said. Earlier, DNA profiling of the bred stock, which was conducted by scientists at the JP University of Information and Technology, Waknaghat, had led to encouraging results, thus leading to the release of the bred pheasants. Conservation breeding, which is undertaken in very large enclosures, provides natural forest condition to pheasants for bringing up the bred chicks. The objective of the conservation breeding is to release and reintroduce the birds back into the wild for building up their natural population in the forest. Cheer pheasant is restricted range species endemic to the Western Himalayan region and it is declared as vulnerable in the Red Data Book of the International Union of Conservation and Nature and Natural Resources, which makes it essential to undertake such breeding projects to enhance their population. |

SFI supports protesting MCM DAV lecturers
Kangra, May 13 Vishal Deep, SFI secretary, Kangra District, and member, state secretariat, in a statement today criticised the DAV management for “ignoring” the interests of lecturers of the college. He said the Kangra unit of the HP Non Government College Lecturers Association had been facing an indifferent attitude of the MCM DAV College administration in resolving the current situation regarding the enhancement of ADA, medical and house rent allowances and other issues. He said other similar situated colleges in the state at Shimla, Sundernagar and Badohli had been enhancing the ADA rates from time to time, but the DAV management was adopting an allegedly callous attitude towards its employees. Vishal Deep demanded that their genuine demands should be accepted by the management. The SFI leader criticised police action on the university campus where even girls were not spared. He described the action as “inhuman” and unfortunate and demanded action against police officers responsible for the
lathicharge. |

Four youths arrested for intimidating murder accused
Solan, May 13 The four youths Bhajan Lal, Karamjeet, Kamaljeet and Gurdial Singh started abusing the 10 accused youths and obstructed their way. They threatened them saying since they had killed their kin they would face the same plight. The situation took a chaotic turn when relatives of the deceased, who were also present nearby, joined the four youths in intimidating them. A crowd gathered and when the situation became unmanageable, policemen on duty called up the police station for additional force to ensure the safety of the 10 accused who were on the verge of being attacked. S Arul Kumar, Superintendent of Police, Baddi, said a case under Sections 341,186, 506 and 34, IPC, had been registered against the four youths for restraining the accused, obstructing the police from performing its duty and intimidation. The police, with the help of local residents, managed to dispel the crowd and transported the accused safely to Solan in the judicial custody. The incident has,
