As the drive gathers momentum, supportive infrastructure would also be provided for the NMT users, they said, adding that people from all walks of life would be roped in for the environment-friendly initiative. The campaign will kick off on November 10. “Such experiments have shown encouraging results in cities like London, where traffic congestion has been considerably reduced over the last few years. We look forward to replicating the same in Gurgaon and look forward to a positive outcome and feedback,” maintained Bharti Arora. A key objective of the plan is to promote cycling, walking and the use of public transport as envisaged in the National Urban Transport Policy as well as the Integrated Mobility Plan for Gurgaon. Lakshmi Singh, a coordinator of the campaign, said apart from rooting for a clean, healthy and green Gurgaon, the initiative was meant to enable the residents, especially children, “reclaim their streets and connect with their community”. “De-clogging traffic-congested Gurgaon should go a long way in ensuring better lives for the residents as well as the generations to come,” observed Nisha Singh, a local Municipal Councillor. The Heritage School, Embarq India, Pedal Yatris, IamGurgaon, Duplays, NMT activists and other groups and organisations are participating in the drive.

Karnal, October 17 The five-year-eight-month-old child hailing from Kohand village in Karnal who is creating waves on TV shows will soon have his name entered in the Guinness Book of World
Records. Satish Sharma, father of the wonder boy, told The Tribune that there had been a lot of exposure for Kautilya in the past weeks and now they wished him to be at home, concentrate on his studies and rest for a while after which we would start the process of getting his name entered in the Guinness Book of World Records. "The child is always smiling and pleased with the exposure which brought him into the limelight, but we want him to strike a balance between his roots and the exposure given to him by the media and we would take him back to the village to have a fresh feel of the village environment," he added. After cramming the world map, Kautilya is now focusing on Multi-National Companies
(MNCs). The child, who learns while playing, is gifted with an amazing memory and is so inquisitive that he asks a volley of questions even on very small and insignificant things, says his father. Full of energy and always eager to learn,
Kautilya, at a tender age of about six years, is power-centric and asks what the most powerful profession
is. Karnal MP Arvind Sharma, who met the wonder child at his Delhi home, assured the family that he would take up the matter of sponsoring the education of this "little genius" by the state government.

Farmers oppose railway bypass project in Rohtak
Rohtak, October 17 The Union Railway Minister had laid the foundation of the Rohtak railway bypass line on July 28 this year. The bypass line costing Rs 181 crore was to replace the Rohtak-Makrauli section of the Rohtak-Panipat line. " We will not let the state or the Union Government to acquire our land for the project," said Rajpal Singh of Chamarian village. He said while the project was of no use, it would result in depriving the farmers of their fertile land. Expressing similar views, Baljit of Makrouli Kalan village claimed that the authorities had ignored the farmers' concerns. According Parveen of Samar Gopalpur, a majority of the farmers were marginal and owned two to four acres and the acquisition of the land would render them landless without any source of livelihood. Meanwhile, the residents of Samargopalpur, Titoli, Sisroli, Naseerpur and Chamarain Kalan villages have formed a panchayat to continue their stir. However, sources in the district administration claimed that the farmers were trying to put pressure on the administration in the name of protest to get enhanced compensation.

Phule's work 'greater' than French Revolution
Kurukshetra, October 17 The guest of honour at the valedictory session, Dr RB Langyan, former IAS and Director, BR Ambedkar Studies Centre, KU, said Phule was one of the heroes in the Indian history who left permanent imprints on the social and cultural history of India. Prof Shri Krishan, head of the department of history and Registrar, Indira Gandhi University, Rewari, said the revolution initiated by Phule could be called greater than the French Revolution as the French Revolution did not liberate the oppressed and downtrodden. Earlier, inaugurating the seminar, chief guest Prof Nandu Ram, former Director, Dr Ambedkar Chair, Jawahar Lal Nehru University and the national fellow of ICSSR, New Delhi, said, “Mahatma Jyotiba Phule was a social reformer but has been neglected by the historians.” "Phule laid the foundation of social reforms, which was different from other reformist movements and had taken a shape of revolution. The task of bringing the downtrodden to the mainstream, which became a major movement later, was initiated by Phule," added Prof Nandu Ram. The keynote speaker on the inaugural day, Prof DK Verma, head, Department of SC, ST and BC Development, Baba Ambedkar National Institute of Social Sciences, Mhow, Madha Pradesh, said, “People know Phule as a teacher and a great influence on Ambedkar but it would be the most appropriate to study his contributions in light of the Dalit movement."

Another Cong rally in Faridabad on October 27
Faridabad, October 17 While the Dasehra rally was orgainsed by Haryana Labour Minister Shivcharan Sharma in the NIT Assembly constituency, the next one is being organised by Faridabad Congress MLA Anand Kaushik. The quick succession of rallies featuring the Chief Minister has raised the political temperature in Faridabad. Many attribute the rallies to competitive politics among political leaders of the district. The general feeling is that a good number of leaders of the ruling Congress are envious of Shivcharan Sharma, who won as an Independent candidate in the last Assembly election after he was denied the ticket. He defeated Congress' official nominee and stalwart AC Chaudhary. He caused heartburn among a section of Congress leaders on being inducted in Haryana's Council of Ministers even as he was a first-time MLA. Besides the Dasehra rally, Sharma had earlier also organised a successful rally which was addressed by Hooda. The general view is that he has nursed his constituency well and is the biggest crowd-puller in Faridabad. However, Kaushik rebutted reports that his proposed rally was on account of competitive politics. He, nonetheless, asserted that it would be the "biggest" political gathering in Faridabad.
