Blow to property owners
The UT Administration has already conveyed to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that it is against converting industrial leasehold plots into freehold. The Union Government, in its letter to the UT Administration, had asked for ways to increase the UT’s revenue. UT officials had submitted a proposal stating that by converting leasehold properties (residential and commercial) into freehold, the Administration could increase its revenue. Sources said at a recent meeting with Patil, UT officials submitted that in 1996, according to the then collector rates, the UT had fixed Rs 1,710 per sq yard as the conversion fee. At the meeting, the officials proposed to increase the conversion fee 10 times and proposed to fix Rs 17,000 per sq yard as the conversion fee for converting residential and commercial leasehold properties into freehold. However, Patil rejected the proposal and maintained that the UT had a right over the leasehold properties, a senior UT official, who was also part of the meeting, said. The Chandigarh Administration has put on hold the transfer of residential property from leasehold to freehold. The orders concern those having residential properties allotted by the UT Estate Office and the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB). In case of commercial properties, the UT Administration had last converted leasehold plots into freehold in 1983. In 2001, the Chandigarh Administration had allowed GPA holders to get residential property transferred in their names by paying a fixed conversion charge and also 12.5 per cent of the present market value as the stamp duty. Since then, no residential leasehold properties were converted into freehold in the city, a senior UT official said. Chandigarh Beopar Mandal president Charanjiv Singh said it was a matter of great concern that the UT Administrator had not taken up any issue of public interest. Important issues were lying pending. 50,000 residential, commercial properties The move will affect the owners of nearly 50,000 leasehold properties, both residential and commercial, including 35,000 Chandigarh Housing Board flats, 2,000 commercial properties, 4,500 residential properties which comes under the Estate Office and CHB flats being constructed in Sector 63.

Schools get creative to attract tiny tots
Offer GPS-enabled air-conditioned buses designed with fairytale characters Hina Rohtaki Tribune News Service
Panchkula/Chandigarh, November 27 To justify their exorbitant admission fee, schools are providing GPS-enabled air-conditioned buses designed with fairytale characters. “You will travel by ‘Mickey Mouse’ this time and ‘Donald Duck’ in the next session if you get admission” is what the staff at some schools are seen telling children during pre-admission interactive sessions. For instance, if a child is travelling by ‘Cinderella’, it will be mentioned on the ID card for identification and security purposes. To ensure safety, the schools are promising to send alerts through the GPS to parents. In the wake of the recent incidents of child abuse, special details about security in buses are being listed. “As all buses are GPS-enabled, we have a parents’ alert solution (PAS) through which a message is sent to the parents. The estimated time of arrival is sent to every parent,” said the Director of The Gurkul, Sector 20, Sanjay Thareja. “Not just this, if the route plan is violated by the driver, a message is received by the control room of the school. Wireless sets have also been arranged,” said Thareja. To attract students, Hallmark Public School, Sector 15, Panchkula, has GPS-enabled buses in the names of airlines. “We are informing parents that we have a nanny in every bus. We make sure that a girl child is not left alone in the bus on the route,” said Jaya Bhardwaj, Principal of Hansraj Public School, Sector 6. Most schools now have women attendants in buses with a strategic route plan to ensure that no girl child is left alone in the bus in the end. HS Mamik, Director of Vivek High School, Sector 38, Chandigarh, said, “Security in school buses is our priority. Parents are provided with the telephone number of women attendants to enquire about their children.” Some schools are offering air-conditioned buses. Principal of Gurukul Global School, Chandigarh, Vandana Tandon said, “Our buses are air-conditioned. We are making these children-friendly and giving these names of fairytale characters.”

SP confirms departmental probe was pending against SHO
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 27 As per the CBI case, it is for closing this departmental inquiry that Deshraj Singh allegedly demanded Rs 1 lakh as bribe from Anokh Singh and was then arrested in October 2012. “There were two departmental inquiries pending against Inspector Anokh Singh and I was the inquiry officer,” said SP Shivcharan during his cross examination before the Special CBI Court here. At the time of the registration of the case, SP Shivcharan had told the CBI that he met Deshraj on the morning of October 18 for recording his statement, he being the inquiry officer and Deshraj was the 10th witness in the departmental inquiry.,” Shivcharan told the court that he was entrusted to conduct the inquiry by then SSP Naunihal Singh and statements of two witnesses were left to be recorded at that time. It was on the evening of October 18, 2012, that the CBI had laid a trap at the Sector 23 residence of SP Deshraj and arrested him while accepting the first installment of Rs 1 lakh bribe from Inspector Anokh Singh. Shivcharan was conducting both the departmental inquiries against Inspector Anokh Singh, SHO of the Sector 26 police station, which were initiated on a report by Deshraj. In the recorded conversation with the CBI, Deshraj is heard telling Anokh that the report by an IPS officer never goes waste and that Shivcharan met him in the morning. The inquiries against Inspector Anokh were initiated for willful disobedience and insubordination as Inspector Anokh had failed to inform SP (city) Deshraj about a theft at an MLA residence on September 28 that year.Two other witnesses Karnil Singh and Ranbir Singh were cross examined today. The mobile phones of the complainant, in which he recorded certain conversations of the accused were sealed and de-sealed in their presence for making the transcripts of the conversations.

Mayoral poll, audit objection over scrapping DAY
market Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 27 The BJP in its pre-House meeting today decided that it would challenge the Mayor’s decision to reject the Deputy Commissioner’s letter wherein the DC had sought views of the entire House on holding Mayoral elections in December or January 1. BJP’s leader of Opposition Arun Sood said the MC House was supreme and the Mayor should bring such letter before the House for discussion. “The Mayor cannot take decision on its own,” said Sood. The BJP-SAD alliance would raise this issue in the House meeting, he said. On the other side, Congress councillors will stand with the Mayor’s decision not to include the DC’s letter as agenda item in the House meeting. Mayor Harphool Kalyan said he would not come under any kind of pressure and would not include the letter as the agenda item. Meanwhile, Congress councillors are ready to take up issue of audit objection of Rs 22 lakh, wherein the Audit Department had held the Congress and nominated councillors responsible for scrapping day market in Mauli Jagran in 2012. The MC had already paid Rs 22 lakh to the contractor, when this project was scrapped, causing loss to the public exchequer. Congress councillor Subhash Chawla said how the Audit Department could hold councillors, who are part of the MC House, responsible for allowing or scrapping any project. He would raise this issue in the tomorrow’s House meeting. Echoing similar view, another Congress councillor Mukesh Bassi said the MC House was supreme democratic set-up in the city. Councillors pass or reject any agenda after considering various factors. Day market agenda was passed with a majority of the votes. Such objection was a direct challenge to the democratic set-up. “Who will discuss agendas in the MC House if the Audit Department will make such objection? When councillors were never given profit share from the agendas wherein the MC gets revenue after the House passes the same, then how can they initiate recovery from them, if the MC incurs any loss after passing or rejecting any agenda,” Bassi questioned. Meanwhile, agendas regarding permission to hold the auction of scrap material of the Public Health Department, including old taps, water meters and other material worth Rs 17 lakh, giving pension to 12 employees from the Market Office, who were transferred to the MC, will also come up for discussion in the MC House meeting tomorrow.

Meet on rheumatoid arthritis begins at PGI
Chandigarh, November 27 According to Dr Aman Sharma, organising secretary of the IRACON 2014, a study done at the PGIMER had shown that there was increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis as compared to age and
sex-matched controls. This was a prospective case control study in which 114 patients
with rheumatoid arthritis and 114 age and sex-matched controls were included. This study suggests that there is an independent risk of heart disease and stroke in Indian patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In the session on rheumatoid arthritis, there were presentations by Prof Peter C Taylor, Norman Collisson Chair of Musculoskeletal Science at the University of Oxford. His specialist clinical interests are in rheumatoid arthritis and early inflammatory arthritis. He was awarded a “Healthcare Champions Prize” in the Houses of Parliament in May 2008. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease. It presents with small and large joint pains along with joint swelling. This is a common type of inflammatory arthritis affecting 1-2 per cent of the adult population. Multiple joints are affected simultaneously. This not only affects the joints but also has
effects on other organs like heart, lungs, etc. Smoking has an important role to play in triggering this disease, said Dr Aman Sharma from the Department of
Internal Medicine, PGIMER, who is the organising secretary of the conference.
