Congress strategy to tackle rebels New Delhi, December 5 AICC treasurer Motilal Vora said the prospective candidates from a seat, who would all be present at the respective constituency-wise meetings that the party is organising, would be asked to publicly declare that the candidate cleared by the Congress high command would be acceptable to them. The party is yet to decide on the number of seats it would offer to Left parties in the coming poll. Party leaders fear that the large number of aspirants who are denied the tickets could feel disheartened and not work fully for the official nominee. There could even be rebel candidates. Keen to reduce this problem, party managers have decided to invoke the authority of Congress President Sonia Gandhi to silence any dissidence. Mr Vora said the DCC and PCC offices would complete the work of receiving applications in a day or two after which the shortlisting exercise would begin. Indicating that the party would also work out some formula for shortlisting candidates, Mr Vora said that the preliminary list is expected to be completed by the state election committee by December 15. He said the panel of names cleared by the state election committee would be looked into by a central screening committee. The list would be finally cleared by the central election committee of the Congress. The Antony Committee of the Congress had recommended that names of party candidates should be declared about two months before the poll. Mr Vora said that the screening committee, which would have one more member besides him, would be set up shortly after the approval of the Congress President. He said the Congress President would visit the state in January after the state unit completed its programme of rallies in each of the Assembly constituencies. A meeting of the apex Manmohan Singh Committee has been convened here on December 10 to finalise the party’s election manifesto. The manifesto and a charge sheet against the Badal government would, however, be released close to the elections. Mr Vora is going to Chandigarh tomorrow to preside over a meeting of the heads of party’s frontal organisations in Punjab.

PPCC members get rude shock Patiala, December 5 Pradesh Congress office-bearers all over the state are getting letters from the AICC, asking them to deposit Rs 1 lakh through 10 drafts of Rs 10,000 each. The AICC missive says a decision asking all office-bearers to deposit Rs 1 lakh to the AICC had been taken following the recommendations of a committee headed by former Union Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. The committee had decided to collect money for the party through its office-bearers so that the party could generate its own funds and did not have to rely on contributions from other sources. The AICC has asked all office-bearers to send Rs 1 lakh in total through 10 drafts of Rs ten 10,000 each. The money is supposed to be taken from party supporters. However, according to sources, party office-bearers are not in a mood to oblige the AICC. All are quiet on the issue and following a wait and watch policy. While many office-bearers can afford to wait for some time before they send in their contribution to the AICC, those seeking the party ticket may not be so lucky. Most serious candidates for the party ticket in the state may have to cough up the Rs 1 lakh ‘’contribution’’ if they want to become eligible for the ticket. Sources said there was no way the party candidates could escape from this clause as submission of the contribution was likely to be made compulsory for grant of the party ticket. Congress leaders, who are already annoyed at the increase in the form for applying for the party ticket from Rs 500 for general candidates to Rs 5,000 and from Rs 250 for Scheduled Caste candidates to Rs 2,500, feel the new AICC directive will further tthrow the party into the hands of the moneyed people. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a party leader said while submitting Rs 1 lakh may not be much of a problem for those who had enjoyed the fruits of power during the Beant Singh government, it was not possible for veteran and young party workers to make such a hefty contribution. The leaders said the party had any way earned, a hefty amount by charging Rs 5,000 and Rs 2,500 each for forms for general and reserved seats, respectively. On an average there were five or six candidates for each seat, which meant 500 persons had given Rs 5,000 each to the party. |

For Cong, SAD, it’s ‘money game’ Bhucho Mandi (Bathinda), December 5 He promised that his party, which would emerge as the third alternative in Punjab, would fulfil all genuine demands of the people if voted to power in one go. Instead of wasting crores on wooing voters by distributing grants to youth clubs and other bodies, his party would promote sports and eradicate unemployment. He said the POTO, which the NDA government was trying to impose, would be used against the innocent. He said the use of religion for political ends was a dangerous trend and parties indulging in the same were harming the social fabric of the country. He was not in favour of forming a pressure group of Sikh members of Parliament to oppose the POTO. Mr Ramoowalia pointed out that his party believed in clean politics and would contest the coming Assembly elections on its own strength. |

Ropar, Kanjli wetlands “deserve”global status Chandigarh, December 5 According to Dr Satnam Singh Ladhar, Principal Scientific Officer (Environment), PSCST, the ministry has started the process of designating 20 wetlands as Ramsar sites according to the Indian Government’s commitment at the San Jose conference of Ramsar Convention countries in 1999. Each contracting party shall designate suitable wetlands within its territory in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. India has been a party in the convention since 1982. Dr Ladhar says both wetlands are significant in terms of ecology, botany, zoology, limnology and hydrology. The Ropar wetlands, which were formed with the construction of a barrage over the Sutlej in 1952, are an important habitat for certain threatened species in the Shivalik foothills like the scaly ant-eater and the python. These are also important breeding places for the smooth Indian otter, hog deer, sambhar and pangolin Nearly 35 species of fish have been recorded. These supports a variety of both local and migratory birds like coots, common pochard, red-crested pochard tufted pochard and shovellar. The wetlands, which are spread over 1365 hectares, play a substantial role in charging the aquifers since the arata is sandy which permits water seepage into the ground. These are a source of water for irrigation and industrial as well as domestic uses. These wet lands supports 19 species of trees, 13 species of shrub and grass and nearly 15 species of aquatic plant. The wetlands were declared a nationally designated area in 1990 by the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The Kanjli wetlands, which were formed in 1870 with the construction of a head regulator near Kanjli village on the Kali Bein rivulet in Kapurthala district, are an important ecosystemic entity in the region. Spread over an area of 183 hectares, these have value like the Harike wetlands. Twenty-six hectares of forest created along the Kali Bein provide a suitable habitat for many organisms. Various species of mammals, fish, birds and other vertebrate fauna, micro-fauna and many species of plants are important features of these wetlands. This area was declared “national wetlands” in 1988. Dr Ladhar explains that the Bureau has developed its criteria for the designation of wetlands of international importance. He says both wetlands meet at least one criterion or more. The Ropar wetlands contain representative, rare or unique wetlands types; second, these support plant and/ or animal species at critical stages in their life-cycles, provide refuge during adverse conditions; and, third, regularly support 20,000 or more water birds. Similarly, the Kanjli wetlands contain representative, rare or unique types. However, both wetlands are facing an ecological crisis. Studies undertaken by the Council reveal that the Ropar wetlands are facing a severe problem of siltation from the adjoining nude and soft hills. Outside interference by resident and migratory birds, illegal fishing and poaching may put many species in danger. Besides these, the inflow of chemical effluents and sewage from towns in the upper reaches like Nangal, Anandpur Sahib and Kiratpur Sahib are posing a big ecological threat. Similarly, the Kanjli wetlands are facing the problems of excessive overgrowth of hyacinth, increasing pollution levels, deforestation in catchment areas, excessive grazing and soil erosion etc. It is learnt that the Himachal Government has asked the Bureau to include the Renuka, Chandratal and Pong Dam wetlands in the present Ramsar site. |

Punjab getting warmer: Experts Ludhiana, December 5 The day temperature last month remained at about 1.30 Celsius above normal, according to the Punjab Agriculture University Meteorological Department. It remained 28° Celsius in November whereas it should have been around 26.7° Celsius. And in September and October it was 32.4° Celsius and 32.3° Celsius against the normal 32.4° Celsius and 31.9° respectively. The night temperature in November also remained at about 1.1° Celsius above normal and in October about 2.1° Celsius. A dry spell is prevailing in this region since September when the rain was recorded 8.4 mm in/around the local city. In September it was only 27.8mm whereas according to the PAU Meteorological Department it should have been around 101 mm. However, around Chandigarh rainfall was recorded on October 3, but in that belt too the dry spell prevails. Punjab is becoming a warmer place. Its winter period has started shrinking. This is the perception not only among agriculture experts, but also the general public, especially hosiery industrialists whose entire trade is dependent on wintery conditions. Asked to what extent the agriculture pattern could be affected in this region (Punjab, Haryana, part of Rajasthan) by the apparent changed climatic conditions, Dr Govinder Singh Nanda, Director, Research, PAU, said the university was aware about the changing climatic conditions and had maintained a data of the past 20 years or so in this connection. Dr Nanda said whereas PAU was keeping a watch on the changing climatic conditions, it had adopted a staggered sowing pattern to test the germination and yield of various crops, especially wheat which was a major crop of this region. Giving an instance in this connection, he said the first crop of wheat was sown on October 25 and the second on November 5. However, Dr Nanda said there was no very significant changes in the climate of this region. So, it would not have any drastic afffect on the cropping pattern in this region. The university planned to set up five weather stations in Punjab to improve the monitoring of the climate in this region. These stations were likely to be set up at Gurdaspur, Bathinda,
Bullowal, Ludhiana and Faridkot. Modern equipment would be installed at these stations. |

Sikh clergy to meet tomorrow Amritsar, December 5 However, the ruling Akali Dal, headed by Mr Parkash Singh Badal has reportedly urged the Sikh high priests not to take stringent step against Mr Talwandi who had recently made volte-face on the issue of alleged links of Prof Kirpal Singh Badungar with Baba Bhaniara. Though Mr Talwandi had torn his ballot paper in the general house in protest against the nomination of Prof Badungar, he supported his appointment at the political affairs committee meeting of the party. |
CM must quit for unity: Baba Bedi Rajasansi (Amritsar ), December 5 Before addressing a public rally, here today , Baba Bedi said Mr Badal would have to accept the conditions set by the Panthic Morcha if he was sincere on defeating the Congress which was responsible for Operation Bluestar and the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi and other parts of the country. Levelling serious charges, Baba Bedi alleged that Prof Kirpal Singh Badungar was elected President, SGPC under pressure from the excommunicated Baba Piara Singh Bhaniara. He alleged it was an established fact that Prof Badungar had close links with Baba Bhaniara that was why the outgoing President Mr Jagdev Singh Talwandi had toren his ballot paper at the general house meeting. The Panthic Morcha Convener said only ‘keshadharis ‘ had the right to cast their vote during the elections of the SGPC. Replying a question, Baba Bedi said Mr Badal was responsible for violating the ‘hukamnama’ (edict) issued by Bhai Ranjit Singh, the then Jathedar, Akal Takht on December 31 , 1998 for a temporary truce among the warring Akali factions. Describing Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti as a ‘sarkari jathedar’, Baba Bedi claimed that Bhai Ranjit Singh was the ‘real jathedar’ of Akal Takht . Baba Bedi announced that the Panthic Morcha would field its candidate for all 117 constituencies during the forthcoming assembly elections . The Panthic Morcha he said, condemned the POTO as it was aimed at suppressing the minority communities. |

AIR to broadcast ‘Daire’ against female foeticide Jalandhar, December 5 Mr Kapil was speaking at the staging of a Punjabi musical play, “Daire”, on female foeticide presented by Patiala-based National Theatre Arts Society (NTAS) at the Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar, to mark the birth centenary celebrations of Sobha Singh, a master portraitist. Paying glowing tributes to the memory of the great artist, Mr Kapil said although Sobha Singh was a spiritual artist of divine portrayals, yet he was well known for his love for performing arts and had close contacts with theatre personalities like Norah Richards and Prithviraj Kapoor. Mr Kapil applauded director-couple Pran and Sunita Sabharwal and artistes for their initiative in producing “Daire” in an imaginative, innovative and interesting way to convey the hard message of curbing the crime of female foeticide based on Dr Satish Kumar Verma’s script. He assured the NTAS to broadcast the play from Jalandhar and other stations of AIR. Dr Satya Paul, founder president, Apeejay Education Society (India), New Delhi, in a message read out on the occasion, assured every help for the promotion of theatre and visual arts through all Apeejay schools, colleges and institutions of technical and higher learning, spread all over the country.

Dr Mahajan may be
DRME Amritsar, December 5 In case, Dr Mahajan is promoted as DRME, a race for the principal’s post at the government medical college would begin. Dr Inderjit Singh Shergil and Dr Bhola Singh, both professors of surgery, are the seniormost professors. However, the process for filling the regular posts of Principal might be delayed due to certain inquiries pending against one of the Professors. Mr B.R. Bajaj, Principal Secretary, Medical Education and Research, in his order, stated that the state government had given promotion to Dr Mahajan as Principal since November 30, 1998 which was denied to him earlier. Interestingly, Dr Mahajan has been placed above Dr Sidhu who has now retired which means Dr Sidhu was ‘wrongly’ promoted as Principal by ignoring Dr Mahajan. Meanwhile, the Medical Education and Research Department will hold its departmental promotion committee meeting at Chandigarh on December 14 at which more than 100 posts of Professor, Assistant Professor and medical lecturer will be filled. The posts have been lying vacant for more than two years. Interestingly, during the inspection of a college by the Medical Council of India (MCI), the state government used to “call from another college” so that the college being inspected did not get de-recognised. The PCMS association had taken up the case with the government many times but the vacancies could not be filled. |

Improvement trust head “misusing”
powers Bathinda, December 5 A section of the trustees alleged that the Chairman, Mr Mohan Lal Garg, had been distorting the facts relating to the minutes of the meetings to his convenience. Apart from it, had been allotting the civil works to selected contractors, they said. They alleged that earlier, the works were allotted to contractors at rates 30 to 35 per cent lower than the Central Scheduled Rate (CSR) while now the works were being allotted to contractors at rates only 1 to 2 per cent lower than the CSR. They pointed out that the shopping complex buit at Amrik Singh Road could not be auctioned twice as Mr Garg was trying to favour some of the persons known to him. They added that no approval was taken from the state government for auctioning the land where the “Patwar
Khana” was situated. Apart from it, the 25.21-acre scheme of the Improvement Trust was not amended before starting the construction of a office complex here. Mr Garg when contacted, denied all allegation and said the functioning of the trust was transparent and he had not been misusing his powers. He pointed out that the official complex in the 25. 21-acre scheme was being constructed as per rules and the sanctioning of the scheme relating to the land of “Patwar
Khana” was under process. He said open tenders were being invited for all development works and so far the trust authorities had received no complaint in connection with these. Works were allotted to the lowest bidders only, he added. Mr Garg alleged that three trustees had staged a walkout to serve their own political interests and added that one of these trustee wanted him to enlist his brother as a contractor with the trust for executing development works. He added that the shopping complex on Amrik Singh Road Found few bidders during the auctions held so far and the shops were not fetching adequate prices. This was the main reason that the auction was cancelled twice. |

Amritsar heritage walk
planned Amritsar, December 5 Releasing the printed heritage walk brochure to the press, Dr Sukhdev Singh, state convener INTACH said in terms of time and distance, this route highlights the heritage value of some important public or private buildings, sites and lanes. “The theme of the walk is to give back the city to its own residents and the objective is to promote heritage tourism so that these buildings generate a sense of pride and relevance in their owners. They become rather instruments of promoting economy,” he said. Explaining the concept further he said tourism promotes hotel service and travel industry.

Hard work only way to success: SP
Fatehgarh Sahib In his address on “Morale motivation how to succeed without clout and corruption”, he proved his point by giving various examples from history, religion and personal experiences. He said that it is a wrong perception that only money and political backing are required to become an officer or a prominent personality. He said that Eklavya, a legend from the Mahabharta”, was a jungle dweller. But by dint of hard work and perseverance, he became one of the best archers of his time. Mr Mitter Sen Thapa, a renowned English, Sanskrit and Hindi writer of Nepal, was just a middle pass and he became the best writer of English and wrote many books and won many awards. Similarly, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar was born in a poor family and turned out to be a legal and literary luminary of the country just due to his hard work. Answering queries of students, Mr Kumar cleared their doubts regarding getting jobs. He said that there may be a few cases of malpractices because of the undue interference of politicians, but by and large it is devotion, dedication and determination of the students coupled with patience, persistence and perseverance which put them on the road of success and plum jobs. Mr H.S. Heera, Principal of the college, proposed a vote of thanks. Mr I.P.S. Gill, training and placement officer of the college, said this interaction would help the students boost their morale. |
