The police control room received a call at 11.30 pm when a passerby noticed the body. A voter card, Rs 30 and other documents were recovered from his pocket. The police said initially, it appeared to be a case of robbery, but they are investigating other angles. The police have rounded up some drug addicts residing in Ramdarbar and Hallo Majra in the case. The police said on inspecting the spot it was found that Sanjay was headed towards his home in Zirakpur and there were polythene bags and bundle of disposal glasses on his cycle.

Victim Ravi was a resident of Sector 49 and had been missing from his house since June 24. A missing report was also lodged in this regard. The police said it appeared that Ravi was murdered somewhere else and his body was dumped in the forest area near Dhanas. The deceased is survived by his parents and three siblings.

Sub-category in MBBS reserved seats kicks up row
Chandigarh, June 26 It remains to be seen if the move by Director-Principal, GMCH-32 Dr Atul Sachdev and UT Health Secretary Anil Kumar will stand the legal scrutiny. Neither the UT Administrator nor his adviser KK Sharma had approved of the move, nor any directions were issued by the Central Government (concerned Ministry) for reserving the seats.
The move
The Adviser to UT Administrator KK Sharma was not aware. “I am not aware of any such development but if the number of seats do not exceed the 15 per cent limit for the reservation of SC candidates, I think there should not be a problem.” The GMCH Director Dr Atul Sachdev said they had to follow orders from the higher authorities. UT Health Secretary Anil Kumar said: “The seats have not been increased beyond the permissible reservation of 15 per cent. There were representations. Also, as per 2011 census, the population of SCs in Chandigarh has increased and actual reservation right turns out to be 19 per cent. And of course, correction will be made only after the prospectus is issued to the public.”
Experts speak
Dr PL Garg, former Registrar, Baba Farid University, Faridkot. “As per the Unnikrishnan judgement, delivered in 1993 by the five Judges Bench of the Supreme Court under the CJ, NRI seats were introduced for the first time and there was no concept of reservation there. All seats remaining vacant were to fall back to the management quota. In Punjab, vacant NRI seats go to the general category.”
Going beyond the prospectus

Youth’s body taken out of Tikkar Taal
Morni (Panchkula), June 26 Panic spread amongst residents of Davra village when some children noticed the body floating in water and informed their family members at about 7.30am. After receiving the information, Kishori Lal, a village resident, rushed to the spot. After seeing the body floating in the water, he informed Paramjit Singh Mand, in charge, police post, Morni, and subsequently a police party reached the site, the eyewitnesses said. Mand said that information was also passed to the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Jagtar Singh, and the Station House Officer, Chandimandir. The police with the help of local residents fished out the body and after conducting a search found that the deceased was carrying an identify card, (Metro a wholesale store), a receipt of an insurance company and cash. A mobile phone set was also found in his pocket. Eyewitnesses said that the police had also found an empty bottle of country-made liquor adjacent to the site from where the body was spotted. The DSP said that from the I-Card, the deceased was identified as Kuldeep Kumar, a resident of Bapu Dham Colony in Chandigarh. “We subsequently informed the Chandigarh Police following which a team of the UT police led by Mulakh Singh along with Krishan Lal, Prem Singh and Sunny, uncles and a brother of the deceased, reached the spot and indentified him,” the DSP said. The UT police personnel said that Kuldeep had been missing since June 22 and his Activa scooter was found abandoned on the Panchkula-Morni road on June 24. The body was sent to General Hospital, Sector 6, Panchkula, for autopsy. The DSP said in the initial stage, it seemed to be a case of suicide, but the exact cause of the death could be ascertained only after the reports of autopsy was out.

Was Moga encounter in haste or had hidden motive?
Chandigarh, June 26 Two policemen, including Sub Inspector Rajdeep Singh and a head constable Surinder Singh of the UT police Crime Branch were left injured and two residents of Moga –Sukhdev and gunman, Inderjeet — killed in the encounter yesterday which witnessed heavy exchange of fire between the police and the accused. Two other accused also received bullet injuries in the encounter. Interestingly, the two persons who have been killed by the crime branch sleuths following the encounter include Sukhdev Singh and his gunman Inderjeet Singh Gora, whose names find no mention in the police FIR registered at the Sector 17 police station on June 23. It was this FIR which was the basis of the operation and the crime branch sleuths had gone to arrest the accused in this case. A Sector 22-based youth staying as a paying guest, Harpinmder Singh, had lodged the FIR against Gurcharan Singh, Sukhpal Singh and Shinder Singh for assaulting and robbing him and also making his video. The three had allegedly assaulted and robbed him at the behest of an NRI who gave the orders for attacking Harpinder while sitting in the US as he wanted to avenge a two–year old assault. Questions have also been raised if there are any connections between the crime branch sleuths and the persons, who have been killed while their names were not in the FIR. Inspector Ranjodh Singh, in charge, crime branch, who was heading the team is a close relative of Akali leader Gursewak SIngh Gholia. Sources said the complainant Harpinder Singh who lodged the FIR is also close to them. A former IPS officer Pheru Rai is also their relative. Some theories doing the rounds are that Sukhdev who was killed in the encounter and the two injured Gurcharan and Sukhpal were not on good terms with certain Akali leaders in the area and this factor could have provoked the encounter. Inspector Ranjodh Singh admitted that he is related to Akali leader Gholia and Pheru Rai is his uncle, but denied that complainant Harpinder was in any way related to him. The entire police team which was a part of the encounter was in civvies and in a private car and the team of the Sector 17 police station, which was in uniform was nowhere around when the encounter took place and had gone ahead. This is against the police protocol because during such an operation, the team which advances towards the accused is supposed to be in civvies and the team, which intercepts is ought to be in the police uniform. However, this was not the case yesterday.
Questions to be answered

Two meets, Rs 4 lakh spent, outcome nil
Chandigarh, June 26 In these two House meetings, around Rs 4 lakh were spent on catering, electricity and two-day salary of MC officials who attended the meetings. More importantly, issues such as compensation and a job to the kin of a fireman who died in a fire incident in Sector 17 on June 8 and sterlisation of stray dogs were not passed by the MC House. Meanwhile, a day after the meeting, which was chaired by Senior Deputy Mayor Hira Negi of BJP after ‘hi-jacking’ the Mayor’s chair, Mayor Harphool Kalyan started the House proceedings today. As soon as the meeting began, the leader of opposition, Arun Sood of BJP, wanted the Mayor to clarify the status of yesterday’s meeting. BJP-SAD councillors along with some nominated councillors claimed that yesterday’s meeting was legal and hence, the agenda items passed in it should not be discussed again. However, the Mayor and Congress councillors maintained that yesterday’s meeting was illegal and all the items should be discussed in today’s meeting. The deadlock continued for around two and a half hours. Even a suggestion for forming a committee of councillors and officials was also mooted but nobody was ready to budge. Ultimately, Mayor Harphool Kalyan adjourned the House meeting. ‘Credit’ war between parties Both Congress and BJP-SAD councillors sought to take the ‘credit’ for passing agenda items related to development of the city. While BJP-SAD alliance wanted to continue with the meeting only if the Mayor approved the items passed in his absence by its councillors yesterday, the Congress councillors were not ready for it and instead wanted to pass the agenda today so that they can take ‘credit’ for development works.
Rift between nominated councillors surfaces During Thursday’s meeting, nominated councillor Dr Amrit Tewari, who had attended the meeting a day before as well, suggested that views of every councillor should be sought to finalise the status of that meeting. While Tewari was giving her suggestion, another nominated councillor Babu Lal, who was sitting behind her, gestured to the Mayor and some Congress councillors not to accept her suggestion. Finally, the Mayor turned down the idea.
Cong councillors’ protest prompts MC action A day after Congress councillors Satish Kainth and Darshan Garg bolted from outside the office of MC Chief Engineer for not carrying out developmental works in their respective wards, the MC officials swung into action on Thursday. They installed a public toilet block in Sanjay Colony, Industrial Area, Phase I, started recarperting of road in Palsora village and began tender process for installation of streetlights in the Industrial Area, Phase I.
Status of two meetings Mayor Harphool Kalyan said the meeting held a day before was illegal and the one held on Thursday is legal. As no item on the agenda has been passed yet, the agenda would now come up for discussion in the next meeting.
Half of the MC House time snacked away In the MC House meeting on Thursday, which went for around two hours and 30 minutes, councillors spent about 70 minutes enjoying tea and snacks. Rather than discussing issues, they were busy munching items purchased from public money.

Shortage of liquor, beer continues to plague the city
Chandigarh, June 26 Leaving the Bacchus lovers high and dry, the UT Excise Department has failed to “rein in” beer and liquor manufacturers, who were allegedly resorting to pressure tactics on the issue of fixing the ex-distillery price (EDP) of different brands. Despite being approved by the Excise Department, even premium beer brands such as Miller, Foster and Budweiser were not available at most of the liquor shops in the city. As a result, not only the prices of beer and liquor have shot up, city residents are being forced to visit vends in the neighbouring Mohali and Panchkula to fetch their preferred brands. Liquor contractors admit that due to shortage of stocks, they have no option but to increase the prices to anything from Rs 90 to Rs 110 a bottle. The popular brand of Kingfisher Strong has not been approved by the department so far. Sources in the liquor business point out that the liquor and beer manufacturers, whose brands have been approved, were giving limited supply to the city due to the issue of EDP. The supplies are being diverted to Punjab. Enquiries revealed that so far, different brands of the United Distillery such as Antiquity Blue, Royal Challenge, Mc Dowell No.1, Green Label and DSP Black, Bagpiper and Mc Dowell have not yet been approved by the department. On the other hand, the liquor contractors are blaming the UT Excise and Taxation Department for failing to “rein in” the liquor and beer manufacturers to bring down the EDP of different brands. Satpal, a veteran in the trade, said the department should not charge the licence fee for the period when the permits have not been issued. Assistant Excise and Taxation Commissioner RC Bhalla said efforts were being made to restore the supply. Country liquor cheaper Contrary to the IMFL and beer, whose prices have increased due to shortage, the prices of country liquor have been slashed by up to 60 per cent due to competition between the stakeholders, especially at vends in Hallomajra. Row over EDP For the last seven years, the UT Excise Department “systematically” allowed the liquor manufacturers to annually increase the ex-distillery price (EDP) of different brands of liquor by over 45 per cent. This resulted in the prices rising systematically over the years. All this while, the same brands of liquor were being sold at comparatively lesser rate in neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana. But now, the UT is insisting that the EDP of brands to be sold in the UT should be on a par with that of Punjab.

Dhawan man accuses Tandon of sidelining him
Chandigarh, June 26 While talking to Chandigarh Tribune, the councillor said as he was from Dhawan’s camp, Tandon was sidelining him in the BJP. Recently, Tandon had opened a food and supply camp office in his ward in Mani Majra but did not inform him about it, Kala claimed. “As he joined the BJP because of Dhawan, Tandon was not giving him any importance in the party,” Kala alleged. When contacted, BJP city unit president Sanjay Tandon said the function in Mani Majra was not organised by him. Local residents had organised the function and he was not aware of whom all they had invited, he claimed, adding that he had hardly spent 10-15 minutes at the function. There was no question of sidelining anybody in BJP, Tandon said. The city BJP unit chief further said if Kala had stated such a thing, then it was not good for the party. It may be mentioned that the Chandigarh BJP unit is divided into three camps led by Tandon, Dhawan and former MP Satya Pal Jain. It was only because of differences between these three leaders that the party’s central leadership gave the Lok Sabha ticket for Chandigarh seat to Kirron Kher. Kher defeated Congress candidate Pawan Kumar Bansal with a record margin of around 70,000 votes.

Elderly made aware of tobacco’s ill-effects
Chandigarh, June 26 Soon, her own belief in tobacco turned a stress buster for her. Now, she is unable to quit it despite all her individual efforts. By the time she realised the ill-effects, it was too late. Now, she fears that her children might copy her. “I cannot do anything about it. The more I resist, the more urge I feel.

Traders meet pollution control panel vice-chief
Chandigarh, June 26 CBM president Charanjiv Singh submitted a memorandum highlighting the difficulties faced by traders while dealing with the Pollution Control Department. The delegation said while dealing with small shops, the authorities should understand that shops were not at par with industrial units and were usually run by individuals with limited resources. The 19-page application form designed for big industrial houses was a nightmare for a small shop owner. Besides, each application was required to be approved by four or five officers, which was a long process, Charanjiv said. The members suggested that there should be a one-page simple form and the single-window system should be implemented at the Paryawaran Bhawan, Sector 19, for fast clearance of applications.
