Rohtak: Independent candidates, most of whom are Congress loyalists, won a majority of seats in the first-ever municipal corporation elections.

Karnal: Independents won 14 of the 20 municipal corporation seats. The

Results a pleasant surprise for Cong
BJP, INLD, HJC left bruised Yoginder Gupta/TNS
Chandigarh, June 4 Out of the 144 seats in seven Municipal Corporations for which polling was held, the BJP could win only 25 while the INLD had to remain contented with just 16. The rest 103 winners are Independents, a majority of whom are Congressmen. The results would compel the Opposition parties in the state to rethink their strategy for the forthcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. The results have also put a question mark on the efficacy of the BJP-HJC alliance. The BJP failed to open its account in Hisar, which is the stronghold of the HJC. The HJC could not win a seat in the corporations where the BJP was supposed to be in a position of strength. It shows workers of the two parties have not accepted each other as alliance partners. The INLD was confident of putting up an impressive show in the civic poll for two reasons — one, several rural areas, considered to be the constituency of the INLD, are now a part of municipal corporations, and two, the INLD had launched a vigorous agitation against the Hooda government following the conviction of Om Prakash Chautala and other INLD leaders in the JBT teachers’ scam. It must have come as a big disappointment to the INLD that it failed to open its account in Ambala. The poor performance of the BJP in urban areas will adversely affect its capacity to bargain with the HJC at the time of the Assembly elections. It would also weaken the position of the Haryana BJP leadership on the issue of an alliance with the INLD. It would come under increasing pressure from that section of the central leadership, which wants to go with the INLD in the Lok Sabha elections.

HUDA fails to obtain environment clearance for its projects: RTI
activist
Gurgaon, June 4 The authority clearly stated that it was mandatory to get prior clearance under Section 8 of its 2006 notification. The lapse makes thousands of sectors, buildings commercial projects of HUDA across the state defaulter. “The millennium city faces the threat of growing dry in next four years. Green cover is lost here and experts are warning of disastrous effects, but the government is sleeping. We go out of the way to publicise inauguration of new projects but don’t even care for getting basic environment clearance," said
Sharma. DPS Nangal, Chief Administrator, HUDA, said, “I am not well and in a hospital. I can’t talk right now.”
TC Gupta, Principal Secretary, Town and Country Planning, said HUDA had taken the clearance from the Centre and not from the state. “First of all, HUDA doesn’t build buildings. So, in majority of the cases, no clearance is required. Secondly, the projects near the state border with the national capital have to get their clearances from the Centre and we have done so wherever required. I can myself remember getting the clearance for the Bandhwari treatment plant and Ghata highway. We have also written to the Centre to allow us to get clearances from the state authority as it is easy,” said Gupta. His claims, however, fail to find support. HUDA does not figure anywhere in the enlisted Haryana projects which have got clearance till date from the Ministry of
Environment. Gurgaon is one of those districts of the state which face environmental threat owing to rampant urbanisation and
colonisation. Environmentalists across the state have been demanding action against colonisers for violating environment norms, but the fact is that HUDA itself is a defaulter in fulfilling
the norms. |
