Drive deferred after two hours; police to educate people first
Dehradun, October 1 “We found during the two-hour drive against the violators that there is still a lack of awareness about the introduction of the new rule and people have complained to us that they were not aware about this compulsory wearing of helmets for pillion riders rule,” SP, Traffic, Pradeep Rai told The Tribune. The traffic police are planning to carry out the awareness campaign for the next three days in the city. Notably, the police carried out a two-hour drive against flouting the new rule in the morning and even issued challans to over 200 riders but in the afternoon, on the directions of senior police officers, Dehradun traffic police stopped issuing challans. A traffic police official told The Tribune: “We got directions from our senior police officials on Wednesday afternoon that first we must educate the people about the new rule and then implement it.” It is to be noted that Dehradun traffic police decided to introduce the rule of compulsory helmet wearing for pillion riders from October 1 after receiving flak from the Nainital High Court on the issue. |

Money laundering case against Balkrishan closed
New Delhi, October 1 The agency had registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Balkrishan in 2012 on charges of alleged laundering of funds on account of travel and investments made abroad using a purportedly forged passport. The ED case was based on an earlier CBI FIR which alleged that Balkrishna had violated rules of the Passport Act and forged his documents. “The ED found that there was no evidence vis-a-vis charges of money laundering against Balkrishan. The agency’s office in Dehradun has filed a closure in the case,” said an official. The agency suspected that Balkrishan, who has been looking after various trusts run by Ramdev for a long time, could have parked the alleged laundered money abroad using the forged passport as claimed by the CBI. Sources said the financial documents and information gathered by the ED in this case do not show any wrongdoing on part of Balkrishan or illegal investments made by him and hence he was given the clean chit. The CBI had registered a case of cheating and criminal conspiracy against Balkrishan on July 23, 2011, for allegedly procuring fake degree and violating Section 12 of the Indian Passport Act by furnishing fake and forged high school and graduation certificates to the passport authorities for obtaining the document. — PTI |

New districts’ creation continues to keep politicians engaged
Dehradun, October 1 In 2011, a few months before the Assembly polls, the then Chief Minister Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank had announced creation of new districts comprising
Kotdwar, Yamunotri, Didihaat and Ranikhet, hoping to secure a few political brownie points. But in May 2012, after the Congress government came to power, the government order was cancelled, and instead, District Reorganisation Commission was set up to examine the financial, administrative and geographical aspects before creating the new districts. But since the creation of the commission, not a single meeting has been held. “The commission was given six months to come up with its suggestions, but two years have passed and nothing has come about,” said former BJP chief BS
Chuphal. Just after winning the 2012 Assembly polls, the Congress government under former Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna cancelled the government order issued by the erstwhile BJP government. Today, if the Chief Minister seems restrained in his response to the demand raised by his
partymen, it is not without reason. “The demands are area-specific and may appear tenuous in the absence of feasibility studies that could look into the economic and other aspects, before the creation of the new districts,” said former bureaucrat Dr RS
Tolia. In 2011, the Congress had created ruckus in the house, demanding creation of new districts of
Pratapnagar, Bhilangna, Ranwai valley and others. Both the parties have their own district-specific demands. Recently, a delegation led by Congress president Kishore Upadhyay reminded the CM that the demand even figures in the manifesto of the Congress. Notwithstanding the political and financial fallout of such a decision, no effort has been made for setting up of norms for reorganisation and creation of new administrative units. |

Bhandari, Sundar Lal Mandarwal and Raj Kumar, Congress media coordinator Surendra Singh Arya and other Congress leaders were part of the delegation. |

Rare snake reported from Terai forest area
Dehradun, October 1 The new extremely rare snake was reported from the Surai range of Terai east forest division of the state. It is the first time that coral red kukri snake has been reported from Uttarakhand with only three other recorded specimens from across the country. Among other three, one is from Assam and other two from Lakhimpur and Katerniaghat areas of Uttar Pradesh. A wildlife survey team of the Uttarakhand Forest Department comprising wildlife biologist Vipul Maurya and herpetologist Jai Pratap Singh came across the snake while collecting baseline data of different wildlife species Terai east forest division of Uttarakhand. Divisonal Forest Officer Terai, east forest division, Dr Parag Madhukar Dhakate, has greeted the wildlife survey team for being instrumental in reporting of this rare new snake species. He said reporting of coral red kukri snake amply reveals the state’s rich faunal biodiversity, particularly in the Terai areas. Kukri snakes are so named due to their curved teeth which resemble a kukri, a long curved knife favoured by the Gurkhas. These snakes are protected under Schedule - 4 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Interestingly, the team also found one more dead coral red kukri snake from the same area, which was found crushed by a speeding vehicle. The dead specimen has been preserved by the department for further studies. |
