Upadhyaya is state Congress chief
Dehradun, June 12 The Congress high command in Delhi made the announcement late
last evening. Hailing from Tehri Garhwal, Kishore Upadhyaya, a Brahmin, had lost the last assembly elections to Independent candidate Dinesh Dhanai. Since then, he had been looking for a suitable adjustment in the party organisation. InUpadhyaya’s appointment, the party high command seems to have tried to strike a balance as Chief Minister Harish Rawat is a Thakur from Kumaon and thus being a Garhwali Brahmin, Kishore Upadhyaya fits the bill. Fifty-five-year-old Kishore Upadhyaya was AICC member in 1996. He won his first Assembly elections from the Tehri constituency in 2002 and became a minister in the ND
Tiwari-led government. He was re-elected from the Tehri Assembly constituency in 2007. However in last 2012 Assembly elections, he lost from Tehri to Independent candidate Dinesh Dhanai. A vocal Congress leader, Kishore Upadhayaya has been in the forefront in taking up the issues of people of Tehri. He has time and again raised the rehabilitation concern of Tehri Dam oustees. Kishore Upadhyaya is also close to Chief Minister Harish Rawat and his appoitment as the state party president is a shot in the arm for the Harish Rawat camp in the state
Congress. Interestingly, the development is likely to further fuel infighting within state congress. Another Brahmin Congress leader from Tehri region and sitting MLA from Narendranagar, Subodh Uniyal, was also vying for
sthe post. Subodh Uniyal is considered to close confidant of former chief minister Vijay Bahuguna, other camp in the Congress.
PCC hails appointment
Spokesperson for the Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee Dhirendra Pratap has hailed the appointment of former MLA Kishore Upadhyaya as new state Congress president. In a statement here issued on Thursday, Dhirendra Pratap said Upadhyaya’s appointment was an honour for all those who had participated in the statehood movement. He said Kishore Upadhyaya was among the frontline leaders during the Uttarakhand statehood movement. He described the outgoing president, Yashpal Arya, as a gentleman and expressed hope that Upadhyaya would follow in his footsteps and try to take all factions of the party together. |

Cong expects to do well under new president
Haridwar, June 12 As per Haridwar Mahanagar committee president OP Chauhan, Upadhyaya’s appointment has given a new breath of energy to the party state unit, as party had faced 5-0 humiliating defeat in all Lok Sabha seats of the state. “Upadhyaya is a seasoned politician having served in the capacity of AICC nominee in 1996 in Uttar Pradesh, Cabinet Minister for Industrial Development in Narayan Dutt Tiwari-led government, apart from being a two-time Tehri Assembly legislator. He has a good political acumen, knows the local issues very well and will bridge the gap between the party rank and file,” said Chauhan in a press statement
released today. Describing him as a frontline leader during separate Uttarakhand state formation, Chauhan said that Upadhyaya needs to follow the footsteps of the outgoing PCC president Yashpal Arya as he took along all the factions of the Congress and revamped the party unit in his two-time tenure. Chauhan said that now the party needs to focus in the three-tier panchayat elections as well as the three byelections in Someshwar,Dharchula and Someshwar Assembly
segments. Veteran leader and former state women’s commission chairperson Santosh Chauhan said that Kishore Upadhyaya will prove his mettle by making Congress win in all these three Assembly segments. “Upadhyaya’s charisma and down to earth approach will surely work in favour of Congress.Aryaji did a commendable job ,which we expect will continue under the new PCC president. BJP won in the Modi wave but Congress will win panchayat elections in majority of panchayats and all three seats where byelection is scheduled under Harish Rawat-Kishore Upadhyaya duo,” stated Chauhan. |

Dhanaulti-Chamba apple fruit belt faces water crisis
Mussoorie, June 12 The famous tourist destination at Dhanaulti has also been affected, resulting in exodus of tourists. The rising temperature has resulted in drying up of several seasonal water springs, aggravating the problem of drinking
water further. “The villagers around the apple fruit belt have to tread several kilometres on foot to fetch water for their daily needs,” said Ramesh Belwal from
Dhanaulti. The manager of the Drive-In hotel said they were finding it difficult to keep tourists in the hotel due to paucity of water. “We have already shut down several rooms. We are not renting them due to absence of drinking water from the past few days,”
he added. Another resident from Buraskhanda said several farmhouses in the area were getting free flow of water, while they had to struggle for every drop under soaring temperatures. The Jal Santhan officials from Tehri district said they were aware of the problem and were making alternative arrangements to supply drinking water. The apple growers are also a worried lot and have opined that due to the scorching heat and lack of water, the apple crop could be affected adversely this year. |

Gloom, power cut after end of Gairsain session
Gairsain, June 12 Suddenly there was gloom all around. The town that was the focus of the attention for the last three days wore a desolate look and the local people who had been on cloud since then, eager to witness the House proceedings, were left seeking explanations for the callous attitude of
the officials. “A few hours ago, the CM was making announcements after announcements. If this is what is going to happen as soon as he turns his back then the government cannot be trusted,” said Trivender Bisht, a local. In fact throughout the Assembly session the government’s sincerity on the Gairsain issue was repeatedly put to test with the Opposition demanding government come out with a concrete plan but the government maintained a stoic silence. So much so there were even rumours that the Congress MLA Shailender Mohan Singh may table a private members Bill on Gairsain that would strengthen the government’s stance on the capital issue but nothing came of it. Instead the Congress government initiated discussions on strengthening technical education, horticulture and agriculture in the state without the participation of the
Opposition. For that matter, even the announcements made by the chief minister after the session seemed old wine in new bottle, clearly lacking newness and commitment that would could turn around the state’s
horticulture. While there was an effort on the part of the Opposition to question the Rawat government’s intentions on Gairsain, even they seemed to shy away from initiating discussions. This lack of sincerity was also reflected in the manner in which the BJP MLAs opted for private accommodations instead of spending their night at the tented accommodation. Out of the 65-odd tents put up by the government, most remained unoccupied. |

Political activity hots up in Dharchula ahead of bypoll
Pithoragarh, June 12 Rudra Singh Panda, senior BJP leader and member of the state executive of the party, today challenged the Chief Minister to contest from the Dharchula seat where he was facing an imminent defeat because the people had realised their folly of having voted for
Congress candidate Pradeep Tamta in the recently concluded parliamentary elections. “Voters in Dharchula are determined to rectify their mistake by defeating the Congress candidate in the Assembly byelection,” said Panda. The BJP leader said in its traditional bastion Dharchula the Congress befooled the voters by faking achievements. “The voters of Dharchula have now realised that the Congress made fake claims of achievements of the state government, as they have got nothing after the party came to power in the state,” he said. The Congress workers are overenthusiastic over the possibility of the Chief Minister contesting from Dharchula. A senior party leader said the Congress had a strong base in Dharchula which would help the Chief Minister to obtain an easy victory over his rivals
in the byelection. “The state government order to include 143 castes and sub castes of the region in the state list of OBCs, besides taking out 111 villages from the jurisdiction of the Askote Wildlife Sanctuary was enough to ensure the victory of the Congress in the
byelection from the Dhachula seat,” said Manohat Singh Tolia, Congress president of the Munsiyari block. |

Haridwar police to get tough with quarrying mafia
Haridwar, June 12 He directed the officers to deal with illegal quarrying sternly as it had become a big challenge. He said every Station House Officer needs to be vigilant as far as illegal quarrying is concerned. Apart from a separate anti-mining squad being in place, the district police needs to take action against quarrying mafia. Stating that traffic violations would be dealt with seriously, the SSP said intense vehicle checking and helmet checking drives should be undertaken by the police apart from generating awareness about traffic rules. He said help from educational institutions, NGOs and locals needs to be taken to generate traffic awareness. He pointed out that the police need not focus on number of challans itself but also need to make sure suspected persons, anti-social elements, criminals and those in drunken condition driving vehicles are caught. While the Char Dham pilgrimage is on, it has resulted in rise in the number of pilgrims in Haridwar too. This has added to pressure on traffic police personnel. Talking about the tough and long hours of traffic duty, he said last week, lakhs of devotees had participated in the festivities on the occasions of ‘Ganga Dussehra’ and ‘Nirjala Ekadasi’. Despite paucity of personnel and lack of four-lane highway, the traffic police tried its best to smoothen the traffic flow in the city, he said. The SSP warned SHOs and other officers to speedily take note of complaints received at police stations and not deliberately delay action on them. Policemen erring on this count would be dealt with strictly, he said. At the meeting, Superintendent of City Police Dr Surjeet Singh Pawar, SP Rural Ajay Singh, Circle Officer City Chandra Mohan Negi, Circle Officer Sadar Rajesh Bhatt, Roorkee CO Lalit Mohan Upreti, CO Mangalore JV Pandey and SHOs of police stations of the district were present. |
