Devotees on way to Chamunda
Haridwar, March 31 Devotees trying to offer obeisance and 'kalash' installation at the revered shrine were forced to cancel their pilgrimage ,as heavy deployment of forest guards, police and officials stopped them from moving ahead. Under the aegis of Mata Chamunda Devi Bachao Samiti, saints and local devotees took out a religious ‘kalash’ procession towards hilly Bilb terrain, where the shrine of Mata Chamunda Devi is situated. But near Bilkeshwar Maha Dev temple they were stopped by police and forest park officers, urging them not to move further, as the area falls in protected Rajaji National Park. Range officer D P Uniyal told devotees that at the said site of the temple, now there is no temple but only a few statues that were established a few years back. Citing strict national park rules, Uniyal urged devotees not to break the law and cooperate with the park authorities. They added that unless they had legal permission from Supreme Court in this regard, they could not be allowed to enter the park to pay obeisance at the shrine place which forest officials termed as an open space. “There were remains of a small temple only which were removed in 1983, when this forest cover came under Rajaji National Park protected periphery,'' said a forest official. Aggrieved devotees reasoned that since the last many years they are being stopped at the very same place by park and police officials. They said at least they must be allowed to visit the shrine during Navratra festive season. Many devotees argued that prior to 2005 they had been going on regular pilgrimage to the said shrine and since the area falls in the ambit of Rajaji National Park, they have been forcefully stopped in the name of national park prohibition laws. Mahant Shyam Giri of Mata Chamunda Devi Samiti said that at least on the occasion of pious Navratri they should be allowed to visit the shrine site. But due to heavy deployment of police force and regular talks by police-park officials, the devotees decided to hold the ritual at the stoppage point itself and distributed ‘prasad’ to the people and police personnel too. Inspector PC Mathpal said that some people were trying to mislead the common devotees about the shrine's existence and mythological connection. Some senior citizens stated that a decade back, statues and idols of deities were present at the said site in Bilb mountain and they used to on regular basis go on pilgrimages and paid obeisance. They also said that robber Sultana Daku, being Mata Chamunda Devi devotee, used to offer obeisance at the said place.

Relief for disaster-hit Parodi village still awaited
Mussoorie, March 31 The villagers from Parodi village who suffered immense loss of property and livestock during the mid-June natural disaster are angry angry at the apathy shown by the district administration which is stilling sitting pretty on the compensation files despite the clear instructions of the government and the former chief minister Vijay
Bhaguna. Around 35 houses along with irrigation fields devastated during the natural disaster of last year had rendered the villagers homeless. The former chief minister during his visit to the Thatyur block, following the disaster had announced to compensate every affected person adequately even if the affected persons were living under one roof. However, the villagers have not received any compensation from the district administration as yet forcing them to live under utter misery. When contacted the senior Congress leader Jot Singh Bisht said that he had met the disaster management secretary in this regard and was informed by him that the compensation amount has been released to the DM Tehri and all affected persons should go to the respective SDMs of their area and receive their compensation amount without any delay. However, when the affected villagers met the SDM Dhanaulti they were informed that the files are lying with the DM,
Tehri, and any compensation amount will be distributed only after his approval. When inquired the district administration officials shifted the onus on SDM
Dhanaulti. The affected villagers agitated at the insensitivity shown by the district administration officials are demanding immediate release of the compensation amount or else

IndiaVotes
2014
Haridwar, March 31 A notice has been served by State Election Commission to Madan Kaushik ,for fuelling hatred and regionalism during an election meeting. Model code of conduct in charge,Haridwar district, Vishnu Singh Dhanik, has appointed investigating officer, election officer, Roorkee, in this regard. Notably, last week during a meeting of close party workers Madan Kaushik had lashed at BJP high command, eventual ticket winner Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and the saint community for creating hurdles in his ''shining political career.'' Kaushik even urged his close party activists to vote for Congress but not for Nishank ,''as it won't be good for their political future.'' Further, Kaushik said that in case Congress gives ticket to any one of Chief Minister Harish Rawat's family member, ''then don't vote for Congress as then another candidate hailing from a hill district will win.'' ''They (hill district based leaders) are coming and getting ticket from plain segments; so it is necessary to defeat them ,be they of any party, as otherwise our future political career will get affected.Voting for Bahujan Samaj Party is better than to have a hill region based leader,''stated Kaushik in the audio tape. Though Kaushik accepted that he had addressed party workers but alleged that a deep political conspiracy has been hatched against him ,saying that many a part of his speech had been dubbed and distorted. ''I have been contesting elections since creation of Uttarakhand, worked as Cabinet minister for five years representing all 13 districts of the state.This is a political conspiracy ,hatched to demean my political stature and career.I will resign from BJP and even legislatorship if during investigation I am found to be a culprit.People close to me know I have been a loyal party worker and also have good rapport with hill-based people,''said Kaushik. Notably,Congress leaders are circulating this tape via whats app,facebook and other media tools to expose the ''real character'' of the BJP leader. City Congress president OP Chauhan said: ''We will raise the divisive tactics of Madan Kaushik,who has been fooling voters for the past 11 years,not focusing on development works but instead fuelling communal tension,hill-plain divide and
Punjabi-Baniya divide politics.'' Condemnation reports of Kaushik diatribe against saint and hill people are pouring in from various segments of society. This may prove costly for Kaushik,who is also state BJP vice president in the coming time,as both at the party fold and public platform his image has suffered a major blow with this episode. Regional outfit Uttarakhand Kranti Dal has demanded an apology from Madan Kaushik,saying that he has not won thrice only on the basis of plain area voters but also of hill
region voters. Aam Aadmi Party district conveyor JP Baduni said that be it Narendra Modi or Madan Kaushik,the saffron party is full of such leaders ,who just bank on hatred and divisive politics.

Govt to seek EC’s nod for allotment of liquor vends
Dehradun, March 31 Although there has been no official communiqué issued by the Election Commission in this regard, the Department of Excise on its own volition has kept its plans to allocate the vends in abeyance. "Chief Secretary Subash Kumar will seek permission from the Election Commission. In case we manage to get the nod, we may even release the order by this evening. But there has been no official word from the Election Commission on the issue" said Vinay Shankar Pandey, Assistant Commissioner, Excise. In anticipation of the allotment of the liquor vends which was to take place in March-end, several applicants had begin approaching the department to get forms. The department has collected Rs 136.64 crore in the form of processing fee. In case the allotment of vends gets postponed to June, the Department of Excise will have to look for ways and means of returning or utilising the processing fee and also temporarily continuing with the running of the vends on a day-to-day basis. "In case we are forced to postpone the allotment of vends, we will grant permission to the vends to run them according to the old liquor policy on a day-to-day basis. However, the revenue for 512 liquor vends will be raised from last year," said Pandey. Meanwhile, the government's new liquor policy for storing foreign liquor has also come under scrutiny after it was rumoured that the government was planning to give the right of setting up two stores of foreign liquor to a private company, divesting the right from the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam and the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam, which were allowed to stock different liquor brands in
their godowns.

Congress govt indulging in corrupt land deals: Ayay Bhatt
Pithoragarh, March 31 “The state government is contemplating to hand over tenders of all shops of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) to a single person by allegedly
taking huge sums of money from him despite the fact that the government had already released
its foreign liquor policy on February 25, which consists of 40 companies who were trading in the Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) trade in the state,'' charged Bhatt while talking to media persons at Almora today. Ajay Bhatt said that besides corrupt practises to get money from one liquor trader by monopolising his business in the state, Congress government is letting out precious land of Terai
to industrialists on old rates which are cheaper to those of present rates of the land in Terai region. “The plot of 214 acres of land which was to be
given to Hero Honda company in the year 2006, of which the deal could not take place due to
some reasons, has been registered in the name of the same company by its changed name last week on the land rates prevailing in the
year 2006. By this process, the state government has made big sums of money,” alleged Bahtt. Bhatt said that his party was
soon going to reveal the ''corrupt practises'' of the Congress government in
public.

Congress leaders want Bahuguna to fight from Pauri
Dehradun, March 31 With the sudden resignation of the Pauri MP, the party faces the difficult task of fielding a suitable candidate from the seat who could take on a leader of Khanduri's stature and Bahuguna seems to fit the bill, said a senior party leader. Former Union minister and two-time Chief Minister Khanduri, who was also Bahuguna's cousin, was considered a formidable opponent and Bahuguna was the lone party leader in the state at present who could give him a tough fight, he said. Another reason why a section of partymen in Uttarakhand wants Bahuguna to contest from Pauri is that his ancestral village Budhani is also located in Pauri district which was the political 'karmabhoomi' (place of his work) of senior party leader and his father Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna. Also, Bahuguna began his political career from Pauri and it was only after tasting defeat there that he chose Tehri as his constituency which he represented twice in the Lok Sabha before becoming the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. Congress sources said Pauri was the main hitch in the party not being able to announce candidates for the five Lok Sabha seats in Uttarakhand.

Two-day conference of Barapatias
Pithoragarh, March
31 Community leaders resolved to get the original inhabitant tribals back into the mainstream. “We are a backward tribe as over 98 per cent of our members are living below poverty line and the educational rate is only 45 per cent among males and 12 per cent among females,” said Rudra Singh
Papara, a leader of the community. Barapatias, living in 12 villages at lower valleys of Munisiyari subdivision, call themselves inhabitants of the region from the Vedic age and say they were the people who made the region worth cultivating. “The Bhotia tribe reached the region from the Tibetan plateau some thousands years ago.

Naga, and Kirat manuscripts besides in the Mahabharat,” said Rudra Singh
Papara. The two days conference was marked by cultural presentations by the women groups of the community in their traditional attire and deliberations by community elders on the progress in future.

Gas agencies raided in Doon
Dehradun, March 31 The team comprising the City Magistrate, the Tehsildar and the Additional District Magistrate (administration) checked the registers maintained by the agency owners. The erring owners were warned to maintain a proper record or else their licence would be revoked. Notably, in the wake of the end of the financial year, there was a steep demand for the refilling of gas cylinders so as to avoid the lapse of the annual quota.

It was also found that those who had booked the cylinders on a later date were issued on a priority basis. Uttarakhand LPG Distributors' Association president Chamal Lal said there was a severe shortage of gas cylinders following the sudden increase in the demand.
