CM, INLD join issue on SYL canal
Chandigarh, May 14 “The people were deprived of water only because of the INLD and its then leadership opposed the Rajiv-Longowal Accord. The SYL canal would have been completed by now had it not been for the INLD. We stand committed to the SYL,” he said. Hooda said the state Assembly elections would be held on time and there was no proposal whatsoever to prepone it. He said the Congress was fully poised and in a strong position for the Assembly elections slated to be held in October. Undoubtedly, it would emerge victorious in the Assembly elections, he said. Answering a question regarding his views on the results of the exit poll with regard to Haryana, Hooda said each agency that had conducted the exit poll had different predictions. Asked about Rajya Sabha member Birender Singh’s demand for 30 tickets for his supporters in the ensuing Vidhan Sabha elections, Hooda said the party’s central election committee would only decide about the tickets and none of them were the deciding authorities. Responding to Haryana Minister Gopal Kanda’s allegations of phone-tapping by the government, Hooda said he was amazed that it took the former minister nearly nine years to realise it.

Abhay wants special Assembly session
Chandigarh, May 14 "Our party's stand is very clear, we want our share of the SYL water," Abhay, who was flanked by state unit chief Ashok Arora, said. Abhay Chautala alleged that the state government did not get the development plan of Gurgaon approved from the National Capital Region (NCR) Planning Board and had benefited several builders just by issuing letters of intent (LOIs). To this, Hooda said development plans did not need any approval from the NCR Planning Board. Chautala evaded a direct reply to a query about support to the NDA at the Centre, saying that they were opposed to the Congress.

2 FIRs in secret by Hisar IGP's staff in 10
days
Sirsa, May 14 The special staff registered an FIR at the Ding police station in Sirsa yesterday. They did not reveal contents of the FIR and sent a copy to the local court under sealed cover. This was the second case in a week of the special staff lodging an FIR without disclosing contents to the district police. Police sources said there was a provision to keep FIR contents secret. Earlier, an FIR was registered at the Sirsa Sadar police station around 10 days back. The sources revealed that the first FIR was registered against Dalbir Singh, sub-inspector with the police station. The sources said he reportedly arrested the namesake of an accused with the intention of doing a favour to the accused in a case of molestation in Jhorarnali village of Sirsa last year. Raj Kumar, who was reportedly wrongly implicated, had approached the IGP with his complaint. The sources said the second case was of rape, but it was not known whether a police official was booked. Sirsa SSP Saurabh Singh said he had no idea of the contents of the FIR. IGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor could not be contacted for comment. |

Submit reply by tomorrow or face action: Education Dept
Bijendra Ahlawat Tribune News Service
Faridabad, May 14 As the representatives of the Abhibhawak Ekta Manch, spearheading agitation in this connection, met the SDM here on Tuesday, the department issued formal notices to the schools, asking them to reply by Friday, so that an action plan could be formulated to rein in the institutions alleging violation of the norms and directions of the department in this regard, revealed the sources. It is also claimed that the office of the Divisional Commissioner has also directed the officials to issue a notice to the private schools that have failed to submit the required information to the department under the provisions of Form Six. “While fresh notices have been issued to several schools affiliated to the CBSE and Haryana Education Board, a detailed report will be submitted to the office of the Divisional Commissioner next week if the schools fail to provide the relevant details,” claimed an official. It is, however, added that the department had served notices earlier also, but less than 10 per cent of the total schools submitted the details in the district. The Abhibhawak Ekta Manch, which has threatened to file a PIL in the high court, has alleged that a majority of the private schools in the district had been hiking fee and other charges at their own will and the practice had been going on for the past several years. Kailash Sharma, general secretary of the manch, said while memorandum had been given to the authorities in the past years, majority of the schools allotted land at cheap rates by the government and failed to abide by the rules governing such allocation. He said they tend to hike the fee or other charges without taking the parents or the authorities into confidence. The information sought under Form Six from the schools in the notice includes fee structure this year vis-a-vis last year, hike in other charges during the past couple years and whether or not a permission was sought from the authorities. The government is authorised to resume the plot or land of the school if it was found violating the rules, it is claimed.

Hooda govt ignored north Haryana: Venod Sharma
Kurukshetra, May 14 Sharma said “Everything went as a well-planned strategy. Senior leaders talk about development of north Haryana but do nothing. The government was not serious about the development of this region. It has not given any big project, except the Kalpana Chawla Medical College in Karnal, over the nine years.” He targeted senior Congress leaders and said “Ambala had bagged industrial model township (IMT) but former Union Minister Kumari Selja, Birender Singh and Phool Chand Mullana had played a big role in the cancelation of the project. More than two lakh unemployed youth were affected due to the cancelation of IMT.” He questioned the intention of the Hooda government behind selecting candidates for government service on the basis of interviews. Sharma said “It is time to abolish
the interview system in selection for government jobs. It has been observed that non-deserving candidates got selected while the deserving ones remained unemployed.” Venod also criticised the Congress leaders for not taking action against Haryana Sports and Youth Minister Sukhbir Kataria. “There are about 53 FIRs against Sukhbir Kataria but the Congress leadership has not taken any action against him. Sukhbir should have resigned from his post,” he added. Addressing his supporters, Venod said “The opponent is very powerful, it would not be easy but we have to fight and I am confident that we will make it.” About forming a new political party, Venod said he would decide on it after consultation with members of his core committee. The former minister directed his supporters to start a membership drive and prepare a list of at least 101 people from every Vidhan Sabha constituency for central committee and a list of minimum 11 people for booth-level committees. |

Samples of damaged road pass test
Rewari, May 14 The contractor, Dharampal, is re-carpeting the road following orders of the district authorities. However, the probe into the matter is yet to be completed. SK Chauhan, Executive Officer (EO) of the RMC, told The Tribune that all samples collected from the road in Jeewali Bazar had passed the laboratory test, which confirmed that standard material was used in constructing the road. He said the contractor had merely supplied the construction material while the road was built by engineering branch of the RMC. A departmental inquiry was being carried out by the Rewari Deputy Commission (DC) in this regard, Chauhan added. Meanwhile, taking a serious note of the news published in these columns with headlines “Despite minister’s order, contractor not booked” three days ago, Power Minister
Capt Ajay Yadav has sought a reply from the Deputy Commissioner over the issue. “After going through the news story, I asked the DC to submit a reply about the official action taken against the contractor who is facing the allegations of using sub-standard
construction material,” Yadav told The Tribune over phone. |

Exit poll results unnerve Rohtak Cong MLAs
Jhajjar, May 14 Some legislators who are facing criticism for not toiling whole-heartedly in the LS poll are well aware that the poor performance of the party candidate in their Assembly segments may adversely affect their chances of retaining the party ticket in the coming Assembly elections. The Rohtak LS constituency comprises nine Assembly segments- Rohtak, Kalanaur, Garhi Sampla-Kiloi and Meham (all in Rohtak), Jhajjar, Badli, Bahadurgarh and Beri (all in Jhajjar), Kosli (Rewari)-- all represented by Congress legislators. Since the Rohtak seat was being considered as the safest one in the state but the exit poll results are not as favourable as the Congress was expecting before the poll. Acute resentment among people against the Congress MLAs representing Rohtak, Meham, Kalanaur, Bahadurgrh, Badli, Beri and Kosli assembly segments may hamper the poll prospects of Deepender Hooda who had romped home victorious with a record margin of 4,45,618 votes in the last LS poll. “When questions are being raised over the performance of the party candidate in the Rohtak Assembly segment, considered to be the bastion of the Hooda family, how you can expect better from other segments,” said a prominent Congress leader in Jhajjar. Sensing the mood of people against the MLAs, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had roped in his wife, Asha Hooda, in Rohtak and family members in other Assembly segments to seek votes for Deepender Hooda in name of development. Whether they have succeeded in their mission would be known only on May 16. |

Nod to lumpsum composition scheme for realty developers
Chandigarh, May 14 The developers opting for this lumpsum scheme would be required to pay the lumpsum tax at the rate of 1 per cent on the total value of consideration received by treating them as non-VAT dealers. They will not be eligible to claim any input tax credit nor entitled to claim any refund or issue any tax invoice. Under the Value Added Tax Act, 2003, the developers engaged in construction of buildings and flats and sale thereof are liable to pay tax as work contractors. However, they were finding it difficult to calculate the correct tax liability and charge VAT from the buyers. There were request from the developers to float a lumpsum scheme in Haryana for this purpose. Further, Haryana Value Added Tax Rules, 2003, contain an optional lumpsum composition scheme providing a tax rate of 4 per cent for work contractors. This 4 per cent rate scheme was introduced when the lower tax rate was 4per cent under the Act. Now when the lower tax rate stands revised to 5 per cent from February 2, 2010, the present tax rate of 4 per cent for work contractors has been revised to 5 per cent. The payment of tax by work contractors has to be made on a monthly basis instead of quarterly. The period of 90 days given to a contractor to opt out from the lumpsum scheme has also been revised to 15 days. Similarly, the rate of tax prescribed for deduction at source in the case of payment to be made to a work contractor by a contractee has been revised to 5 per cent to bring parity with the tax rate. The Haryana Value Added Tax Rules, 2003, have been amended accordingly. |

Bigwigs enthuse Cong workers
Chandigarh, May 14 At the first review meeting after the April 10 LS elections, senior leaders, including in charge of Haryana affairs Shakeel Ahmed, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Haryana Pradesh Congress
Committee (HPCC) chief Ashok Tanwar exhorted the party cadre to gear up for the Assembly poll. Advocating a carrot-and-stick policy, Tanwar indicated that the leaders who had worked wholeheartedly for the party in the Lok Sabha elections would be ‘rewarded’ while those had sabotaged the party candidates’ chances would be ‘punished’ in the organisational revamp scheduled after the declaration of results on May 16. He urged dissident party leaders to air their grievances at party forums instead of public platforms. Several official party candidates had alleged that certain senior party leaders worked against them during the LS elections. The HPCC president had sought reports from the district and block presidents though any action was yet to be initiated against them for ‘anti-party’ activities. Terming the exit polls as ‘sponsored’, Shakeel Ahmed called upon the party cadre to put their heart and soul into the preparations for the State Assembly elections. Claiming allround development in the state, Hooda offered to hold joint meetings at the district level along with Tanwar and other senior leaders of the party in the run-up to the elections. Though Congress Working Committee member Birender Singh, considered to be Hooda’s bete noire in the Congress, was guarded in his criticism of the party high command, Kumari Selja, a Rajya Sabha member and vocal critic of Hooda, was conspicuous by her absence.

Rohtak, May 14
Family members of Rampal of Sirsal village of Kaithal district who went missing on May 12 blocked the road today for half-an-hour near the Mini- secretariat to protest the inefficiency of the police. They also raised slogan against the police.
The protesters lifted the blockade after they were assured that they would be allowed to meet SP Abhishek Garg to discuss the
matter.
Four labourers were killed and one was injured seriously when a water tank collapsed in Sector 90 near Kankrola village in Manesar last night. They had come to bathe and wash clothes.
More than 500 labourers had been staying in 'jhuggis' at the construction site of Simplex infrastructure India Limited. The company had provided a 10-foot-high tank with a capacity of around 30,000 litres.
