Sultanpur bird sanctuary bone dry Sultanpur (Gurgaon), December 2 The sanctuary, spread out on a sprawling 365 acres of land, is touted as one of the country’s best winter havens for migratory birds. Though the number of the winged visitors started dwindling about three years back, owing to paucity of water in the lake, this year things are really at a low ebb. This time, even though December has rolled in, the migratory birds are few and far between. Of course, other reasons like sound and air pollution are also being bandied. And, as reported in the NCR Tribune, the war in Afghanistan has scared the birds, preventing them from taking their traditional route. Yet, one cannot condone the fact that the lake, which is the main source of water in the area, is bone dry, except for some marshy patches. A visit to the lake revealed that it is now swamped with elephantine grass, giving the `Neel Gais’ a free run of the place. In fact, a couple of blue cows were seen lazing in the lake under the sun. The officials of the Haryana Wild Life Department, however, down play the arrival of fewer birds, contending that there was still time for the birds to troop in as winter was not in full swing. However, they did concede that the number of birds has thinned over the years. There was a time when about 90 species of migratory birds could be spotted in the lake. But in the last couple of years only about 40 species have been noticed. Reason: The shortage of water in the lake. The officials point out that earlier the lake and the surrounding villages were a catchment area of the Shabhi river. But the river changed course and it no longer flows in Haryana. Also, the sub-soil water is fast dissipating. The only source of water is the rain water that drains into the Sultanpur basin from the nearby Aravali Hills. But the scanty rainfall in the last three years has proved to be the main scourge. With natural sources drying up, the Haryana Government launched a project costing about Rs 55 lakhs. Under the project, the lake was connected to the nearby Kaliwas water treatment plant of Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA). The plant is fed by canal water. An
official of the Haryana Wild Life Department, on condition of anonymity, alleged that the concerned department was extremely erratic in releasing water to the lake. Inquiries further revealed that the Wild Life Department had also taken on a fish breeding project, but as the lake has dried up, the exercise has come to naught. The Wild Life Department officials claim that the sanctuary continues to be the breeding centre for Indian species like the Painted Storke,
Cormorant, Cattleegrel etc. However, a casual visit by this correspondent in the afternoon showed that, except from some “Bagulas”
(White cranes) in the so-called lake, there was not much to write home about. The officials, however, contend that the birds are there in the morning. The Haryana Government’s tourist complex here appears to be bearing the brunt too. Fewer birds mean less
tourists and visitors. |

Five of family die in blaze New Delhi, December 2 The victims were identified as Ram Kali (85), her daughter in law Rajni (35) and latter’s daughters Deepika (13), Neha (nine) and Mohit (five). The head of the family, Rakesh, was away on business. He is the only member to have survived. The victims apparently died of suffocation as smoke enveloped the entire first floor after the electronic goods, most of them made of plastic, caught fire. The police said that the room on the first floor had no ventilation and the family died in sleep. According to the police, a watchman in the area noticed the blaze while he was taking his rounds. He at once informed the Delhi Fire Service (DFS). Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot, which took about half an hour to control the blaze. The shop door was opened forcibly when there was no response from inside. The bodies were discovered when the fire brigade personnel, with the help of some neighbours, broke open the room door as well. The room was bolted from inside. The fire officials said that some time was lost as the fire tenders faced problems manouvering through the congested, narrow lanes. A case has been registered and efforts were being made to ascertain the cause of the fire. |

Palaces for those wedded to pomp & pelf Sonepat, December 2 Owing to lack of open space in the city, a wedding tent on the road is an impediment for all. Such palaces have solved the problem somewhat. The trend began a decade ago. Now, the number has spiralled. The services provided depend upon the need of the customer and the size of his pocket. The palaces can accommodate guests from 1,000 to 2,000. The entry is bedecked with colourful lights, fresh flowers and other embellishments. In fact, one can have, on order, the setting of a palace with all the frills, befitting a king. Of course, one has to shell out a king’s ransom for such a setting. Weather is no problem as some of the palaces are air-conditioned. Though the owner himself generally runs the palace, in some cases they have been rented out to tent owners and caterers. The owners are either businessmen, agriculturists or politicians. A feast for the eyes apart, the palaces have also become a treat for the gourmet. All kinds of delicacies are on the list. The serving of one or two sweet dishes at a wedding has become a thing of the past. Turbans and dresses for the festive occasions are also available, be they Rajasthani or Punjabi. All at a fancy price! As the job has become specialised, tents, labour and cooks are brought from as far as Delhi sometimes. The use of such palaces is not restricted to just marriages. They are used for conferences and other functions as well. The business is viable so far. Most of the marriages raise many an eyebrow. The nouveaux riches spend a lot and the functions, even the sacred ones, are fast becoming a show biz. The so-called Guest Control Order is, to an extent, a backdoor bid to curb the heady show of power and pelf. The order remains only in the administrative files. For many functions, the print order of invitation cards often soars to 5,000. The authorities note it all but in vain. These functions are celebrated at the houses of powerful businessmen, industrialists and politicians. These big shots giggle and talk loudly, debating the moolah that goes into the show. They just remain conspicuous by their presence in such gettogethers. The marriage pandals alone cost between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh. The parties stretch over three days, reportedly with a different guest list of hundreds to be feted every day. The cost of wining and dining alone is around Rs 1 lakh. Since the powers that be attend the dos, civic officials work for days together in the area to improve the sanitary conditions and install streetlights. |

CM completes 3 yrs in office with Cabinet not in sight New Delhi, December 2 The Sheila loyalists, however, reiterated that the new ministers would be sworn in at the earliest. The Chief Minister met with Congress President Sonia Gandhi. The meeting lasted fewer than 30 minutes. Soon thereafter, All India Congress Committee General Secretary in-charge of Delhi Kamal Nath had a separate meeting with Ms Gandhi. |
Electoral rolls on display at 1,500 centres New Delhi, December 2 The Delhi administration had revised the electoral rolls for whole of the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi in view of the upcoming local body elections. The draft rolls were being made available for inspection of general public between November 24 and December 10, he said. Those eligible voters could enrol for getting the voters’ photo identity card by January 2002, he said. Mr Singh said the voters could verify their names on the draft rolls by either logging on to the websites or ringing the call centre at 391888 which has 10 ‘hunting lines.’ The websites are www.ceodelhi.com and www.ceodelhi.gov.in. The forms can also be downloaded from these websites and submitted at the respective location centres. In case of any discrepancy in the name, one has to fill in Form-6 for the inclusion of name, Form-7 for any objection on inclusion of names and Form-8 for correction of entries in the electoral rolls. Filled-in forms have to be deposited at the designated locations. Each Assembly constituency would have one or two photo identity card centres and the electors would be handed over the cards there itself a couple of days after the photographs are taken. “‘We will give the contract to various private companies so that the work is completed fast,”’ Mr Singh added. Meanwhile, the draft electoral rolls have shown a decline of about eight lakh electors as compared to the figures of January 1 this year. “‘From an electorate of about 88 lakh on January 1, 2001, it has come down to about 80 lakh as per the draft electoral rolls,” Mr Singh said. An exhaustive revision of the electoral rolls was underway in the Capital and the process would be over by January 10 next year keeping in view of the coming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections, due in February, he said.

MOVING FINGER IF
somebody were to design a logo for road users in Delhi, a dented car would be his first choice. Dented cars and harassed drivers are a familiar sight in the National Capital Region. If there is just one dent on your car, you are a newcomer to the place. If it is dotted with two or three, or even more, you are confirmed permanent resident here. If you get worked up over somebody hitting your car from the rear or front, or sides, you have still to get used to the ways of Delhi drivers. It may not always be your fault, or even of other drivers who bump against your car, hits or rubs you on the sides. It may be just that driving here has its own style. The traffic moves in a wayward fashion for a variety of reasons despite the neat white and yellow markings on most roads. There are thousands of traffic cops, other policemen and home guards to take care of the drivers and their victims. But they watch helplessly. Or, if they have a sense of humour, they will give you a smile and wave you on to the next intersection. After all, it is for your convenience and well being that they have painted ‘Relax’ on red traffic lights. Whenever you get a bump or a scratch or a dent from another car, both the drivers stop for a moment and stare at each other, some in anger but most in helplessness, and drive on. Those are the inexperienced lot who pick up a fight and block the rest of the traffic. Nobody cares to go to a workshop unless the damage is too serious. Most of them let the dent remain intact, possibly as a mark of the driver’s skill for escaping serious damage. I had felt upset when my car got its first dent after having moved from Chandigarh, where my car had escaped a dent even after use for years. But my son advised me to take it easy. I valued his advice and forgot all about it. And so has a friend’s relative who had purchased a new, posh car and had come to show it to this friend along with a packet of sweets. The car got its first show to this friend along with a packet of sweets. The car got its first dent on way to a friend’s house. Both had a good laugh and enjoyed the sweets. That is how it should be, remarked my friend like a wise old man. Lion safari at
Bhondsi? It must be a familiar name to the people of Delhi and Gurgaon. It is those 500 plus acres of green land on and along a hillock of the Arrival range. It was developed with a lot of care and effort by whatever authorities or agencies because it happened to be in possession of Mr Chandra Shekhar, a former Prime Minister who may or may not be known as an environmental activist. It is just that he wanted to develop this patch and set up an Ashram here. Many were impressed by the way it came up as a palatial place and served almost as his retreat. Most of it was Panchayat land but some of it belonged to other agencies. The court, following Public Interest Litigation, (PIL) decided some time ago that it should be reverted to the original owners. There is no doubt that Mr Chandra Shekhar had taken pains to get it developed as an oasis in the otherwise bare hills of Aravali. The green patch, just a few miles from Delhi along the Delhi-Alwar Road, is a matter of envy for many living in the region. Now that it has gone out of Mr Shekhar’s possession, the authorities of Haryana have to think of ways to maintain it lest it goes back to its old barren days. Union Minister Maneka Gandhi, a great lover of animals has suggested that it be turned into a rescue home for animals. As many animals are rescued form circus, it may turn into a home for lions, tigers and elephants, not the kind we find in natural habitat. Some people in the Haryana government suggested a lion safari while some others proposed a dear park. A final decision is yet to be taken. Whatever be the decision, it should be a place for spending some time in a relaxed and healthy environment by the residents of Delhi and nearby towns. Haryana is known for its imaginative ideas in the field of tourism and it can maintain the place for such a purpose provided that they do not make it too expensive. Living for others Some years ago when she studied for M.A. (Geography) at the Miranda House and went on to do her M.Phil in population studies at the Jawaharwal Nehru University, she was essentially a Delhi girl. She met G. Natarajan, Nattu to his friends, during her student days and they married. Natarajan, a handsome Tamilian who spent most of his time in the north was with the Punjab and Sind Bank and some other financial institutions by way of vocation. He was a member of the Spastics Society of India. They shifted to Chennai and was one of the founding members of the Spastics Society of India, Chennai. They had a spastic son who grew to be 21 years before his death. Mr Natarajan himself died about two years ago leaving Poonam to run the Spastics Society of India, Chennai which she has done so well. It was reorganised and named Vidya Sagar. Poonam, daughter of a former senior Army officer settled in Delhi, has developed Vidya Sagar into one of the finest institutions for integrated rehabilitation in the country. She remembers here husband and son Ishwar fondly but does not let her loss come in the way of her dedication and her work for the cause, that is, care of the Spastics. For this, she is loved and adored by the people of Chennai and elsewhere. Parents take their wards to her institution from as far as Delhi. Oil therapy Oil therapy, by now, is known to the people of Delhi and nearby states even though its place of origin is thousands of miles away in the deep south. It has proved very effective not only for VIPs–late President V.V. Giri and Dr Shankar Dayal Sharma had benefited from it and so has President K.R. Naryanan—but for many other citizens. It has been a source of satisfaction and pride to the practitioners of the therapy from Kerala. There are some centres in Delhi offering this therapy. The latest to join them is the one at Gurgaon which was inaugurated by Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, himself an admirer of Indian systems of medicine. The Ayurveda Kendra which runs a hospital in Safdarjung Development Area has opened the Gurgaon clinic. Dr Sudha Asokan, director of Ayurveda Kendra, says that they have plans to develop the Gurgaon centre into a full-fledged Ayurveda college some day. This fits into the scheme of things of Chief Minister Chautala who wants to encourage the indigenous systems of medicine. He has naturally promised all help to the project whenever it comes about. With so many multinationals moving into Gurgaon, it may develop into a centre of traditional medicine as a show-piece for the country. Who knows? Monkey menace This college in Faridabad must be really popular to have attracted monkeys, that is, in addition to those thousands of students all these years. They frequent the premises with such interest and punctuality that even students cannot imitate them. They do not confine themselves to the outer walls of the college but like to walk up to classrooms and peep into them through windows and listen to whatever lectures are on. In case a window is open or window-panes are broken which is not very unusual–they do not mind getting into the rooms and hear the teachers from close. The students enjoy scaring them away, under the able guidance of teachers, of course. There is no bar on them visiting in any part of the year but February-March seem to be their favourite months for coming into the college compound. Perhaps it is the period before the examinations and they care for them too. We are deliberately not mentioning the name of the college lest it becomes a place of attraction for other residents of the town. Are we immune to anthrax? Much of the noise about Anthrax is over. It does not make headlines in the newspapers any longer. Yet, to be on the safe side, I made keen inquiries from friends who know more about medical and health related problems than what I know. I was reassured by one of them not to be worried on this score. This is an infection originating from cattle and many people in our country, including those in the National Capital Region, literally share life with the cattle like living in the same space, sharing the same drinking water and so on. This co-existence, I was assured, gives us a sort of immunity against Anthrax. God be thanked for such mercies!

No joy for travellers in Sonepat Sonepat, December 2 Since the establishment of a full-fledged Haryana Roadways depot at the district headquarters here, the number of buses has been increased. Most of the buses, however, are in poor shape and many buses have already become un-roadworthy. However, the people have to depend on the same mode of transport. On account of irregular and erratic bus service, the tempo drivers and the lone private transport company which runs buses between Delhi and Panipat via Sonepat charge exorbitant rate from passengers. The amenities for the travelling public are lacking. Even a small shower of rain means a lot of trouble for the passengers. A canteen and a pan shop besides a bookstall have been opened at the bus stand and leased out to a private contractor. People prefer to purchase items of refreshment from the nearby shops which are on the other side of the road. The hygienic conditions in the canteen in the bus stand are far from satisfactory. The contractors charge exorbitant rates. The prices of aerated water and a cup of tea varies each month thanks to the failure of the authorities concerned to check the profiteering by the private contractors. Barring some new buses which have been allotted recently, the condition of the rest of the fleet is extremely deplorable. The buses are not regularly cleaned. On the contrary, the filth and dirt is allowed to pile up on the seats and the floor of the buses. In gross violation of rules, the drivers and conductors themselves smoke and throw the cigarettes and bidis butt in the buses. The passengers have been extremely critical of the government and wish that more private buses were run on the routes so that they could have pleasant experience of their travel. Officials on the other hand show their helplessness and ironically, blame the passengers for the dirt and filth in the buses, even though, the sweepers employed in the bus stops never clean the buses. Traffic on the Sonepat-Rohtak and Sonnet-Delhi is extremely heavy. In the absence of adequate number of buses, the three-wheelers and other auto-vehicles including maxi jeeps are overloaded much against the sanctioned capacity. Even the trucks and other vehicles take the advantage of the situation and they carry passengers. |

Targeting the young on World AIDS Day New Delhi, December 2 A Public event was also organised at Commercial Complex near Macdonald, Preet Vihar where ‘Caring friend red ribbon badges’ were distributed and a signature campaign ‘I Care’ launched. The ‘I Care’ Signature campaign targets students, businessman, housewives, as well as workers including street vendors, auto and taxi drivers, and rickshaw pullers. Members of these target population are educated about AIDS and its prevention and about safe sex. They were asked to sign in to the campaign with the commitment that “I care about my family, society and myself and will work to make it AIDS free.” Dr Sunil Mittal, a leading psychiatrist and general secretary of the Caring Foundation said that AIDS prevention can only start from self with awareness and restraint. Merely providing information about AIDS cannot be an effective preventive strategy. “It is only programmes like ‘Life Skills Education’ which emphasis attitudinal and behavioural changes in the community that can really combat the AIDS epidemic.” Caring Foundation is also running a project in Delhi Schools, reaching nearly 8000 children, in which life skills education is imparted through special workshops. Of the many areas covered, sexuality, sex, education, relationships and peer inter-action are the ones that are most popular amongst the students. As part of this project, school based peer groups have been formed to inculcate life skills that can help teenagers lead an emotionally healthier and drug free life with fewer sexual and psychological hang ups. The trigger for starting Caring Foundation came from the pathetic plight of a mentally challenged spinster who lost everything when her rich, protective father passed away, leaving her all alone. The property he had left behind was devoured by an avaricious builder who forced her on the street, homeless. Everyone in the locality sympathised with the hapless woman but could do hardly anything to rehabilitate, says Dr Mittal. Caring Foundation is a non-profit, voluntary organisation. The Foundation focuses on mental health, drug abuse prevention, education and community empowerment. The Foundation has a number of innovative programmes for mobilising and empowering the poorest, the lowliest and the lost. |

Regularise flat extensions, residents tell Verma New Delhi, December 2 “The families are growing and there is very little space to live. We have no choice other than to cover our balconies or backyards. It should be regularised because the constructions we have done are not changing the shape of the structure and neither have they in any way encroached on the government land,” said Mr Suresh Thakur, chairman of the Federation of the Residents Welfare Associations of Vasant Kunj. Those residents who met Mr Verma emphasised that the additions and alterations made by them in their Delhi Development Authority (DDA) flats were within the periphery of the four corners of their flats. They told the BJP leader that the regularisation of the extended constructions was the only solution on “human grounds” and that if they were demolished, it would dislocate hundreds of families. “They can charge from us compensation fees and regularise them,” Mr Suresh Thakur said. However, the MP told the residents that it was impossible to take such a decision in a hurry and that it would first need a decision on which construction is admissible or not. “If we regularise one, every other person will demand the same. There would be no law and order then. We promise that we would do our best to sort out whatever we can,” said Mr Verma, who was dressed in his regular dhoti kurta. Along with Mr Verma, Municipal Councillor Vimla Choudhry and several other DDA and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials attended the meeting with the federation. |

State JD(U) to be recast by March 31 Rohtak, December 2 A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the state executive of the party held under the chairmanship of Mr Ved Prakash Vidrohi, president of the unit, here today. Criticising the “faulty” policies of the Chautala government, Mr Vidrohi alleged that farmers in the region were on the verge of a financial collapse due to the anti-farmer policies of the state government. He also said the crime graph in the state, especially in the neighbouring towns of Delhi, had been on a steep rise and the government machinery had miserably failed to maintain law and order. A resolution was passed at the meeting seeking a CBI probe into the murder of Ms Joginder Kaur, a teacher, in Panipat. The meeting also asked the government to check the “rising criminal incidents and atrocities on Dalits”. |

SONEPAT The Central Government is considering a proposal to exclude all political parties and mediapersons from the purview of the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) and the decision to this effect would be announced shortly by it. Stating this, the Union Minister for Mines and the president of the Lok Jan Shakti Party, Mr Ram Vilas Paswan, told mediapersons at Murthal Chowk, about 8 km from here, Saturday evening that the provisions of the POTO would not be misused like those of TADA in the past by the successive governments. Though there was an urgent need to enact stringent laws to curb the activities of the terrorists in the country, the NDA government would not misuse the POTO for taking political revenge, he said. 3 of family killed Three persons of a family were allegedly killed by members of a rival farmer at Anwali village, about 40 km from here, following a scuffle over a land dispute on Saturday. According to a report, the victims have been identified as Mr Lakhan (70) and his sons, Mr Mohinder (40) and Mr Suresh, alias Papoo. While Mr Lakhan and Mr Mohinder died on the spot, Mr Suresh died at the PGI, Rohtak. The incident occurred when Mr Lakhan and Mr Mohinder went to their field to irrigate the land for sowing wheat. One of their neighbours, Balbir, came to the field with his tractor trolley. When Mr Lakhan resisted, he was allegedly attacked with lathis and other weapons by Balbir and his family members. On seeing his father being beaten up, Mohinder rushed to the spot. However, he too was assaulted by the alleged culprits. On hearing about the fight, Mr Suresh rushed to the scene and was allegedly again assaulted by Balbir and others. The police have registered a case under Sections 148, 149, 307 and 302 of the
IPC. |
