Cadre row reaches Centre
Chandigarh, March 23 Though the issue has been brought to the notice of the Haryana Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the matter is now being pursued at the level of the Chief Secretary as the model code of conduct is in force. Sources said the Haryana officials had taken a serious note of actions by the UT-cadre officers, who were harming the interests of Haryana. The matter is expected to be taken up more vigorously with the Centre after the elections in Chandigarh and Haryana come to an end on April 10. In a recent letter written by the UT Home Secretary to the Haryana Chief Secretary, the UT Administrator and the UT Adviser have been blamed for sidelining the Haryana-cadre officers. The withdrawal of key departments from Haryana officials and these being given to junior level UT-cadre officials has led to heartburn among the Haryana-cadre officers. It was learnt not only the Haryana-cadre IAS officers, but also the Haryana-cadre HCS officers, who are on deputation in Chandigarh, were unhappy with the past developments. A number of senior bureaucrats, who have had stints in Chandigarh, had been consulted about their experiences before taking up the matter with the MHA. The sources said after clipping the portfolios of the Home Secretary, there was a reported move to clip the portfolios of another Haryana-cadre officer. The UT-cadre officers in the Chandigarh Administration have gone a step ahead in accommodating UT-cadre officer Tanvi Garg, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC). “While taking away the charge of Additional District Magistrate and SDM (Central) from her in view of the model code of conduct, the top brass made sure the key departments remained with her,” said a senior official. The post of the ADC, previously held by a Punjab-cadre PCS or a Haryana-cadre HCS officer, has been given to UT-cadre officers.
Union Territory cadre to have more say in Chandigarh Police
It is learnt the UT's top brass was contemplating posting Parvinder Singh, a 2011-batch IPS officer who recently joined the Chandigarh Police as ASP, as SP (City). This could curtail the powers of the SSP, who is on deputation from Punjab. The UT Home Secretary has already raised the issue of brining a DSP from Delhi instead of Haryana.

Kala rejoins BJP, gives party the edge
Chandigarh, March 23 Kala had quit the BJP in 2011 after the party denied him ticket for the Municipal Corporation elections. Kala successfully contested the elections as an independent from ward no. 25. Known to be a close associate of Dhawan, Kala is a popular face among villagers and colony residents. His support is certainly going to give the BJP an edge over other parties. Dhawan, while addressing the gathering, stated that it was a historic day for the BJP as mistakes made by the party a few years ago had been corrected today. Dhawan, who contested the 2009 Lok Sabha poll on the BSP ticket, stated that in the elections, the Congress managed to get 37% votes from colonies while he polled 34% and the BJP 20% votes. Now, the BJP would get more than 54% votes from the colonies. Chandigarh BJP president Sanjay Tandon said while Kirron Kher would represent the city in the Lok Sabha after winning the Chandigarh seat, the BJP leaders would look after her work in Chandigarh. Several local leaders and residents of Mani Majra and the nearby areas were present. Around a week ago, the Congress held a meeting at Mani Majra during which former Mayor Surinder Singh rejoined the party. Surinder Singh had left the party a few years ago
Kirron not an outsider, says Dhawan
Slamming the Congress for calling Kirron Kher an outsider, Harmohan Dhawan said Pawan Kumar Bansal didn’t have a daughter. So he couldn’t understand a girl have to leave her house after getting married and go to her in-laws’ home. “I know Kirron. She used to stay in Sector 8 close to my in-laws’ house. She is the city’s daughter,” Dhawan said.
Kirron for single-window redress system
Kirron Kher, while addressing the crowd, stated that she was a daughter of Chandigarh and couldn’t see her city getting ruined, which had been happening for the past 15 years. She said if she won the elections, then a single-window redress system would be set up to solve the residents’ problems.

Chandigarh votes 2014 Tribune News Service

Diwakar Sahoonja, chief patron of the CBM, said traders and their families account for around 2 lakh votes in the city. “This time, we would vote in the favour of only that candidate who will provide us a proper road map for resolving our issues,” he added.

Young voters to favour leaders having vision for development
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, March 23 Chandigarh Tribune spoke to young voters at GGDSD College, Sector 32. Gursewak Singh, a student at the college, said, “We need a local leader who grew up in the city and knows its pulse and voters’ requirements. We don’t want parachute candidates who make big promises and vanish from the scene post elections.” Meanwhile, female young voters voiced their concern for security of women in the city. Suchita Tiwari, a student, said, “The first and foremost thing that young female voters expect from the candidates is an assurance for their safety and security in the city. After sunset, it is almost impossible for girls to travel alone in the city. We need administrator leaders, who are ready to execute their plans rather than keeping them on papers.” Another student Maleeka Bhasin said, “The youths today want that the candidates should also go through an eligibility test where their ability and skills are evaluated. Like every other profession, politics should also have some screening test.” Tamana Sharma, a college student, said, “We want young leaders who understand our problems and have a vision to solve them. Politicians think about voters only when elections are approaching. We don’t want any false assurances or promises.” Geetanjali Dwivedi said, “Leaders should rise above petty politics and woo voters with promises of restoring their faith into the system and eradicating corruption. Youngsters are not interested in hearing the rhetoric blame game speeches delivered by politicians. They want to know the vision and plans of the candidates.” Amolak Singh Grewal said, “The youths are looking for leaders who can assure them a bright future. They want to work towards improving the Indian economy and see it on a development path. But for this, they need opportunities. Indian politics badly needs new faces that can bring transparency and fairness in the system.”

Political parties taking voters for granted: Former Justice
Chandigarh, March 23 Justice Rajinder Sachar (retd) said: “The political parties are taking the voters for granted by fielding celebrities in the elections. They are making a mockery of the whole system.” On the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) contesting the Lok Sabha elections, he said: “The party does not have any agenda or objective. It has not made its stand clear on the policies of education, nationalism and taxation. Its only pitch is anti-corruption.” The party members also used the seminar podium to raise their pitch against the introduction of the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). They said FDI would finish the small scale industry in the country.

HIV-TB co-morbidity major health concern by 2020: Kalam
Chandigarh, March 23 Former President, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam pointed out, during his recent visit to a city hospital that HIV-TB co-morbidity will emerge as one of the greatest health concerns in country by 2020 if treatment dropout rates are not controlled. The co-infection not only increases mortality rate but also poses risk of multi-drug resistance (MDR), according to experts. Patients suffering from HIV/AIDS are highly susceptible to acquire TB as the T-cells, which fight TB, are destroyed by HIV increasing the risk of TB, said state TB officer Dr Anil Garg. The lifespan of a patient having HIV-TB co-infection can come down to merely 10 per cent. Early diagnosis of the co-infection is crucial, experts said. “We had been monitoring the incidence more effectively since April 2010 by sending all our TB patients to ART centres for HIV test,” added Dr Garg. According to official figures, about 3,000 new TB patients are notified every year in the city. Of these about 2,000 are residents of Chandigarh and remaining constituting the migrant population. Non-compliance (dropping treatment) is a leading cause for the consistency in incidence of TB and HIV-TB co-morbidity and also for MDR, experts said. MDR-TB makes a patient resistant to INH and Rifampicin - the two most powerful first line anti-TB drugs. This increases the challenge of treating patients with special drugs, which not only cost above Rs 1 lakh per patient but are also toxic in nature, leading to side effects.

Mining contractors’ goons charge ‘gunda
tax’
Mohali (Dera Bassi), March 23 Sources said around 10 persons laid a naka on a road in Mubarakpur village at around 8 am. They stopped trucks and vehicles carrying boulders and asked the drivers to pay the illegal tax. “The police were also informed but no action has been taken yet,” alleged Dinesh Chadha, a Ropar-based advocate, and RTI activists. The activists have been holding protests against the illegal activity for past several months. “Drivers, who were stopped by these persons, claimed that they came in a Bolero and an Innova car at Mubarakpur village. As soon as the drivers informed me about the incident, I called up the area’s Superintendent of Police Anil Sharma and apprised him of the situation,” said Chadha. Inspector Atul Soni, station house officer of Dera Bassi Police Station, said the police did not find any person at the spot. “Nobody has approached us so far. We have not received any written complaint from anybody in this regard,” said Soni. Soni, however, admitted that similar incident had occurred at Handesra village a few days ago. According to Jaswinder Singh, a driver, persons at the naka were demanding the illegal tax in the name of royalty. “We told them that we have all the required documents but they kept on demanding the tax, for which they were not even ready to give a receipt,” said Jaswinder Singh. Singh then sought help from advocate Dinesh Chadha. Harsimran Singh aka Vicky, an owner of one of the vehicles that was stopped by the persons, alleged that the musclemen also manhandled his driver Amrik Singh when he (Amrik) asked them to reveal their identity. “They were threatening to take the drivers to local police station if they did not give the money,” alleged Vicky. Chadha alleged mining contractors, through their musclemen, force drivers of the trucks that ferry construction material to pay Rs 5 per sq feet as ‘gunda tax’. “As the illegal activity is being patronised by some influential political leaders, the police and the authorities concerned do not initiate any action against it,” alleged
Chadha.
