Tremors of Muzaffarnagar being felt in Mussoorie
Mussoorie, September 9 The high alert being sounded in the state of Uttarakhand, the Mussoorie police staged a flag march to instil faith and ensure the control over the situation in case of any eventuality among the tourists and residents of the town here. The flag march was staged from Library Bazaar till Landour Bazaar in the evening. The police station in charge Vipin Chandra Pant, speaking to mediapersons, said that the flag march was being staged in all the police stations in the district on the directions of the SSP, Dehradun, to assure the people that they were safe and secure. However, the town bore a deserted look as tourists from Delhi were unable to reach Mussoorie for holidays due to the violence in the western districts of Uttar Pradesh. Some tourists from Delhi were concerned at the violence and said that they were closely monitoring the situation and waiting for normalcy to return so that they can head for their homes from here. Local historian Jaiprakash Uttarakhandi hailed the decision of the police to stage a flag march in the town but said that the administration should form peace committees to stop any rumours from spreading in the town.

BJP against raising age limit of chairman of tribunal
Dehradun, September 9 ''It is believed that during the recent Cabinet meeting, the decision to raise the age limit of chairman to 67 years and that of vice chairman to 65 years was okayed, which would prove counter-productive for the state,'' said Ravinder Jugran. He said that the Uttarakhand government should had picked up the good practices associated with the Central Public Service Tribunal. ''To avoid burdening the exchequer, it was decided to appoint serving judges of the Supreme Court and High Court instead of retired judges and making extra monetary arrangements for them. However the Uttarakhand government has followed an altogether different path,'' he said. As of now DK Kotiya, former Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, has been appointed chairman of the state tribunal, who was given extension after his retirement. ''While UD Chaube, Vice Chairman of the state tribunal, is also an ex-bureaucrat, the Uttarakhand government's intention to adjust retired bureaucrats has reduced the whole procedure of appointment on higher posts into a farce,'' he said.
