City sizzles at 43° Celsius
Back in 2003, it was on this day that the city had recorded the same temperature. Met officials say there will be no relief from the scorching heat in the coming days. Director of the metrological department Surinder Pal Singh said: “The weather will continue to remain hot and heat wave conditions are likely to prevail for the next few days. This may be accompanied by dust storm.”
Warning signs
Heat-related trouble ranges from irritating problems such as prickly heat to heat exhaustion and deadly heatstroke. It can be hard to tell where heat exhaustion ends and heat stroke begins. Both can be mistaken for summer flu.

Harmohan Dhawan injured during protest
Chandigarh, May 20 The BJP activists were protesting against the CBI DIG Mahesh Aggarwal for allegedly leaking the information of the raid on former union minister Pawan Kumar Bansal’s nephew Vijay Singla residence in Sector 28. The BJP activists led by Dhawan gathered near the CBI office and started raising slogans against the CBI demanding Aggarwal’s resignation and an independent inquiry against him. The situation worsened when the police used water cannons to disperse the protesters when they were trying to cross the barricades. Dhawan, who was standing alongside the road, lost balance due to water pressure and fell. Seeing Dhawan in trouble, his supporters rushed towards him and took him to Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16. He was discharged after treatment. DSP Vijay Kumar said the cannons were used to disperse the crowd. The road from the Sector 29/30 light point to Sector 30/20 light point was also closed to traffic for about an hour due to the protest. However, other senior BJP leaders, including Satya Pal Jain, Sanjay Tandon and BJP councillors, did not take part in the protest.

CAT dismisses CBI inspector’s allegation
Asks him to raise the point in trial court, reserves order challenging his transfer Rajinder Nagarkoti Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, May 20 The tribunal today asked the petitioner’s counsel to raise these points before the trail court, where the case (Railway bribery case) was pending, and not before the bench. Meanwhile, the Chandigarh bench of CAT, which only entertains service matters, today reserved its order on the petition filed by CBI inspector Balbir Singh challenging his transfer orders from Chandigarh to Delhi. In his affidavit submitted to the tribunal, Balbir Singh alleged that DIG Mahesh Aggarwal was responsible for leaking the information of the CBI raid at Vijay Singla’s residence on May 3. During the hearing today, inspector Balbir Singh was also present in the courtroom. The CBI counsel informed the bench that the Delhi CBI, in its release issued to the media, had already clarified that the CBI had not ordered any internal inquiry against any of its officer/official in connection with alleged prior leak of information pertaining to searches conducted in Chandigarh in the railway bribery case. The petitioner’s counsel also submitted before the court that DIG Mahesh Aggarwal had ordered his transfer because he did not bowed to his pressure tactics. Denying the allegations, CBI counsel told the court that the transfer orders were issued because a complaint was received by the CBI from its official that inspector Balraj Singh was interfering in the high-profile murder case of Haryana, in which politicians were also involved. CBI counsel told the court that in the patwari graft case, Balraj was not the verifying officer, trap-laying officer or the investigating officer, so there was no way Balraj was pressured by DIG Mahesh Aggarwal. Finally, the Chandigarh bench of CAT reserved its order on transfer.

UT notifies Education Tribunal
Chandigarh, May 20 This move, sources said, will provide a big relief to hundreds of staff members of the private unaided and aided schools, colleges and universities in the UT, who can now seek the redressal for their service-related disputes from the tribunal. In a recent survey conducted by the UT Education Department, it was found that as many as 80 service-related disputes between the staff and management of private schools were pending in various courts for the past five years. With the Tribunal in place now, these cases can be transferred to it in addition to filing of new cases to be heard on the fast-track basis, which is not possible in other Courts. To begin with, the Tribunal will work under the Additional District and Sessions Judge, Chandigarh, as notified by the UT today. Once the permanent Tribunal comes into force, for which the official process has already begun, all the powers will be shifted to the presiding officer, who will be not be of a lesser rank than a retired judge. In the letter issued today, the Administration clarified that the additional judge is authorised to hear appeals arising out of the disputes between the management and staff of the recognized private schools (aided and unaided), colleges and private universities in UT for the intermediate period till the specialised Tribunal is constituted on the permanent basis. Officials said this move, though an ad-hoc arrangement, has paved the way for the commencement of Chandigarh Education Tribunal, which was pending for the past 11 years. It was in the Supreme Court’s judgement, dated December 20, 2002, in TMA Pai Foundation and others versus State of Karnataka, that states and UTs were directed to set up appropriate education tribunals for the redressal of grievances of employees of aided and unaided educational institutes. While Punjab constituted its Tribunal in 2009, the issue was still pending in the UT. It was after the Punjab and Haryana High Court intervened in the matter recently and ordered the Chandigarh Administration to expedite the constitution of the tribunal that the notification was issued. Officials said that the appointment of additional session judge has been done in compliance with the judgement of the Supreme Court in 2002, which stated that till the Tribunal is set up on a permanent basis, the right of filing appeal would lie before the district and sessions judge or additional district sessions judge, as notified by the appropriate government. “Since the constitution of the permanent Tribunal required a lot of time, a formal request was sent to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, in March this year, to recommend the name of a judicial officer of the rank of Additional District and Sessions Judge posted in Chandigarh, to preside over the education tribunal till the time the permanent tribunal was set up,” said a senior official. “Acting on our request, the High Court duly approved the appointment earlier this month, following which it has been notified by the Administration today,” he said. A copy of the notification has been sent to the local court, Union Ministry of Human Resource Development and UT’s controller, printing and stationary department to get it published in the extraordinary Gazette of Chandigarh Administration.

Edu Dept to amend neighbourhood policy under RTE Act
Chandigarh, May 20 In its judgement delivered last month, the Court directed Chandigarh and the states of Punjab and Haryana to come up with a clear definition of ‘neighbourhood’ under the Act. It also ruled that admission should first be offered to eligible students belonging to the economically weaker section (EWS) and disadvantaged group residing within a distance of 1 km from the specific school. In case vacancies remained unfilled, students residing within 3 kms would be considered for admission. If still there are vacancies, students residing within 6 kms of the school would be admitted, the Court ruled. A senior official of the department said the UT had been following the Central Government’s policy under which preference was given to students residing within a distance of 1 km from a school, and if the seats remained unfilled those residing within 3 kms were admitted. There was no advisory to go beyond this limit, he said. “In wake of the recent Court directive, a discussion was held to revise the neighbourhood policy accordingly. The file has already been sent to the senior officials. After their approval, the notification will be issued for the same,” said an official The neighbourhood policy has been creating confusion during the admission to government and private schools. Not only private schools, government schools in the city too refused to entertain students living beyond a distance of 1 km from the school. The EWS students too, encountered problems due to a lack of clarity on the policy. A parent belonging to the EWS, Rakesh Kumar of Ram Darbar, said a private school refused to admit his son under the EWS quota as they did not reside within 1 km from the school.
