Felling of trees near Tara Devi temple Pratibha Chauhan Tribune News Service
Shimla, November 21 The case has been registered under the Land Preservation Act. The National Green Tribunal has also issued a notice to the state government on the illegal felling of trees and asked the owner to be present on the next date of hearing on January 8. Vinod Sharma, DFO (Shimla), was today transferred and posted as DFO (Shimla Urban) which covers the Municipal Corporation area. The government has posted Raman Sharma as DFO, Shimla. The Revenue and Forest Departments are likely to undertake joint inspection of the land in the next two days. Senior forest officials visited the spot to ascertain if trees had been felled only on private land or also from the adjoining forest land. Officials admitted that the trees had been cut in a planned manner with the help of power chain saws within two days. Another interesting fact that has come to light is that the Revenue Department has reportedly undertaken demarcation of that land, measuring about 38 bighas, on which the trees were illegally cut on November 12, after the trees had been felled. The department staff, who did the demarcation, said they were under the impression that such large-scale felling was done with the permission of the forest authorities. The Forest Department got to know about the felling on November 14. What NGT says
The National Green Tribunal (NGT)issued a notice to the state government over felling of trees near the Tara Devi temple, taking cognizance of the news report published in The Tribune that 200 trees had been illegally cut near the temple. After perusing the news item, the NGT, headed by Justice Swatantar Kumar, directed the state to file its reply within four weeks and listed the matter for further hearing on January 8. It further directed the state to serve notices on all private owners of the land and directed them to be present before the tribunal on the next date. . |

Ply CNG buses on Manali-Rohtang route: NGT
Shimla, November 21 The NGT further cautioned the authorities that this condition should be enforced without default now as there had been consistent non- compliance and no effective steps taken by the state in this regard. This order was passed by a Tribunal, headed by Justice Swatantar Kumar, after perusing the report filed by the penal constituted by it. The NGT expressed its displeasure over the working of the state authority and observed that “we are pained to notice that the report submitted by the penal does not speak well of the functioning of the state government with regard to the direction of the tribunal, but even highlighted the aspects where the actions have not even been commenced much less to say that they ought to have been concluded in eight months now.” It further observed that “the principal causes of pollution are carbon emission resulting from motor vehicles, indirect effect of crop burning and municipal waste being thrown anywhere and in any place of the eco-sensitive area. Increase in tourism is also contributing to pollution. We must also notice that the destruction of forests in the past is one of the main causes resulting in the present scenario.” The NGT directed the state government that immediately a proper room on the left side of the road leading from Manali to the Rohtang Pass would be provided where technicians would be posted who were capable and could check vehicular pollution as well as the certificates of the vehicles as any vehicle over 10 years old would not be permitted to ply on the said road. This space should be provided within two weeks. It further said “the eco-friendly market at Marhi will be built by the state even out of the existing market within one month. This work will be supervised by the Deputy Commissioner of the area. However, we make it clear that the Marhi market will not be demolished as there is stated to be an order of interim protection granted to them by the Supreme Court of India. While complying with the order of the Supreme Court, steps for making the market environment-friendly would be taken. This work should be super-vised by the Deputy Commissioner of the area directly under the supervision of the Secretary concerned and the Chief Secretary as the case may be.” It further directed the Secretary (Home), Secretary (Environment), Secretary (Tourism) and Deputy Commissioner, Kullu, to ensure that single-lane traffic was maintained for horses and due process was provided for instant removal of horse dung and its disposal. It further made it clear that horse dung would not be accumulated or thrown in any part of the eco-sensitive area of the Rohtang Pass. It should be transported to Manali or any other place where there was a proper dumping site and by composting the same could be converted into manure which could be used for commercial and agricultural purposes. It further directed the state that all encroachments from Vashisht en-route to Gulaba would be removed immediately by the government. It further directed it to submit a composite report to the Tribunal in the next hearing regarding registration and maintenance of the snow scooters and revenue from them. Green Tribunal directions

LIC staff take out candlelight march
Tribune Reporters
Mandi, November 21 Roop Lal Bhardwaj, secretary of the association, said there was no need to increase the foreign investment in the insurance sector as the money collected by the public insurance companies was used in various development and welfare schemes. “The private insurance companies bring in a little money in the name of He said in 2013-14, the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) earned a profit of Rs 90,124 crore, whereas 23 private companies earned Rs 29,517 crore profit. Protest in Kangra
Kangra: The Class III and IV employees of the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India gathered outside the LIC office and raised slogans against the NDA government for its proposed move to table the Insurance Amendment Bill 2008 during the coming Lok Saba session. The employees said the move would invite 49 per cent FDI investment in insurance sector. Preetam Chand, branch secretary, said: “When UPA-II government tried to bring this Bill in the Parliament, BJP opposed the move and succeeded in stalling it. Now, the NDA government headed by Narendra Modi was thrusting the same Bill on the people of the country, which points towards the double standards of the BJP.” He said it was proposed to increase FDI investment in the insurance sector from 26 to 49 per cent, which he described was unfortunate and unethical. He said the government contributed Rs 500 crore for LIC in 1956, but the LIC paid Rs 12,608 crore back to the Centre. He said LIC contributed Rs 10,69,769 crore for the infrastructural development and Rs 18,02,466 crore for different five-year plans, but even then the government wanted FDI investment in insurance. Members of CITU and Students’ Federation of India also joined protesters during the candlelight protest. |

Call to regularise services of Home Guard jawans
Una, November 21 In a press note here, Mukesh said though Home Guard jawans performed important duties like maintaining law and order, election security, firefighting and disaster management operations, they had been denied many service benefits being given to other uniformed forces. He said Home Guard jawans were also performing traffic and security duties during fairs and festivals and safeguarding treasuries round the clock. Mukesh said while the Home Guards’ organisation was constituted during the 1962 Indo-China war, the Central Reserve Police Force and the Border Security Force were set up later. Employees of the organisation got a daily remuneration of Rs 260 on duty days, which are not fixed. He said the daily allowance of their counterparts in Punjab was Rs 400 to Rs 500, depending on the rank. Mukesh said most of the jawans from Himachal, who performed election duties in Karnataka about 18 months ago, had not been paid allowance for that period. He said the government should disband the organisation if it was unable to provide adequate remuneration and facilities to the workforce.

7 houses gutted in Shimla village
Shimla, November 21 The fire rendered over 70 persons homeless in cold conditions prevailing in the valley across the Chanshal Pass. According to villagers, seven houses at Dhara village under Jaakh gram panchayat were destroyed and two cows charred to death in the incident. There was no loss of human life, said officials. Villagers controlled the fire after fighting the flames for five hours as there was no firefighting equipment available as the village is located about 8 km on foot from the sub-divisional headquarters of Dodra Kuar. “We need winter clothes and shelter as houses have been reduced to ashes,” said panchayat pradhan Kavi Ram, whose house was also reduced to ashes in the fire. The loss of property ran into several crores and they had taken temporary shelter in adjoining houses, he added. Though the police had yet to ascertain the cause of the fire, villagers cited a short-circuit as the reason for the fire incident. Deputy Commissioner, Shimla, Dinesh Malhotra said a team of officials had been deputed on the spot. An immediate relief of Rs 10,000 and blankets had been distributed to each victim, he said.

ESIC changes norms to curb bogus medical claims
Solan, November 21 In case the amount exceeded the limit its case would be referred to the director general who would place such a case in the standing committee for approval. Earlier, no such limit was prescribed for a beneficiary and this measure appeared to have stemmed from bogus reimbursement claims coming to the notice of the ESIC, a source in the corporation said. In case of super-specialty treatment an employee would have to complete at least three months of regular service comprising 39 days of regular service though earlier no such norm existed and a patient could avail this treatment right from Day one. Sources said this norm had been specially introduced to check bogus billing of lakhs of rupees where people got themselves registered with the ESIC merely to avail super-specialty treatment and this was causing financial loss to the corporation. The norms for eligibility of spouse and children of registered employees has also been introduced and they would be eligible to avail SST from the ESIC only if an employee had completed six months of service with minimum 78 days of service. The new norms which have become applicable have also changed the eligibility criteria where a patient would be able to avail the ESIC facility from the date of his registration with the corporation, while earlier his registration with the industrial unit was considered as the criteria. Since a large number of employees are not registered with the ESIC by their employer, they will be bereft of this facility as the managements have a tendency of hiring a large chunk of employees through contractors as causal workers from time to time who are neither registered with the Labour Department nor with the ESIC. As many as 2,07,100 beneficiaries were registered with the ESIC in the state till 2012-2013 which comprised employees of various industrial units, educational institutions and other private establishments. An employer is supposed to contribute 1.75 per cent of an employee’s salary with the ESIC and this fund is used to meet his medical exigencies. What the new rules say

Nabard to help farmers in Una
Una, November 21 Nabard deputy general manager and in charge of Una district, Dr Vivek Pathania, said: “Farmers from Bangana block, cultivating vegetables and flowers in polyhouses have been identified for the programme. Nabard has decided to directly support them without intermediary organisations such as government departments and non-government organisations.” Pathania said deliberations with polyhouse cultivators revealed three major problems such as lack of marketing facilities, absence of a comprehensive package of practices for cultivation and no facilities for the repair of damaged polyhouses. He said Nabard would provide direct financial and technical support to the group. Floriculturist Jagdish Ram of Malangar village, who owns two polyhouses, said the company that installed the polyhouses never turned up to repair damaged structures and there was no government mechanism to intermediate. Consequently, he said farmers were forced to face financial losses. Jagdish Ram, who used to cultivate gerbera and carnation flowers, said state’s floriculturists were facing a glut satiation from the past three years and even the transportation cost to Delhi and Chandigarh could not be met from the sales proceeds. Pathania said market linkage was a big concern and the bank had entered into deliberations with food industries such as Cremica. He said the bank had begun its support to a woman self-help group of Bhanjal village. He said the bank arranged for a packing unit for the group, which sold its packaged produce at the Sombhadra Mahotsav held in Una from November 9 to 11.

Water channel reduced to garbage dump
Palampur, November 21 In the absence of garbage disposal facility for people residing on its banks, between Bundla and Bhawarna, they have been dumping waste in the kuhl. Besides, residents have also thrown sewerage into the kuhl. Till recently, its water was used for drinking but now it is highly polluted and contaminated and is not fit for even washing clothes and feeding animals. The situation is worse between Aima and Maranada towns, where people have been openly using this water source as a ‘dustbin’. In many villages between Aima and Bhawarna, people have encroached upon the kuhl, its adjoining land and cemented structures, reducing its diameters to half and resulting in frequent blockades, causing inconvenience to farmers whose lands adjoining the kuhl have turned slushy. Many houses in its vicinity have also become unsafe. Inquiries made by The Tribune revealed that tonnes of garbage, including polythene, animal carcasses, empty gunny bags and other waste material, were being thrown into the kuhl daily as there is no check on such activities. A junior engineer of the Irrigation and Public Health (IPH) Department said a dozen labourers had been deployed between Palampur and Bhawarna to flush out the garbage from the kuhl. In the absence of any law and failure on the part of higher authorities to initiate action against defaulters, the water channel had become a garbage dump, he added. The IPH Department, which looks after the maintenance of the Kirpal Chand Kuhl, has failed to initiate corrective measures till date and check the large-scale encroachments. The department has failed to serve a notice to the defaulters. Various environmentalist groups of the region have expressed concern over the failure of the department in maintaining the kuhl and allowing dumping of garbage in it. A senior engineer of the IPH, Palampur, said the department was well conversant with the problem and efforts were being made to stop the dumping of waste material into the irrigation channel.
