Gurjar ‘responsible’ for Faridabad drive Chandigarh, March 18 In a statement here today, Mr Dharambir Singh, Additional Political Secretary to the Haryana Chief Minister, said Mr Gurjar had put up a question (No. 1368 starred) in the recent Budget session regarding parks and green belts in Sector 28, Faridabad, which were under illegal possession and steps taken so far or proposed to be taken to rectify the situation. In reply to the question, the minister concerned stated on March 11 that there were 63 parks or open spaces in Sector 28 as per the approved layout plan out of which one park and one open space were under encroachment. Notices had been issued to the encroachers and further action was being taken as per the provisions of the HUDA Act, 1977, to remove them. Mr Dharambir Singh claimed that the encroachments from Sector 28 and 29 were removed in view of the request made by Mr Gurjar. Responding to his question the government had assured him that it was taking steps to remove encroachments in Sector 28. “Therefore, Mr Gurjar was responsible for removal of encroachments from the green belt and parks in Sector 28”, the statement said. Mr Dharambir Singh said this was the reason which led people to pelt stones at Mr Gurjar and other BJP functionaries when they reached Sector 28 at Faridabad. “People realised that instead of safeguarding their interests, Mr Gurjar had incited the government to take up such activities which created differences between the allies, the INLD and the BJP”, the statement said, adding that the sole interest of Mr Gurjar was to malign the image of the government. |

Bhajan threatens
‘jail bharo’ stir
Hisar, March 18 Congress leader while talking to newsmen here said: SYL water is our right. We have not to beg for it”. Mr Bhajan Lal criticised the role of the Speaker during the Budget session and called his attitude as “partisan and prejudiced” which was unbecoming of a monitor of a democratic body. Mr Bhajan Lal also assailed the Budget which had no provision of any sop for
farmers, backward classes or Scheduled Castes. Apparently no new tax had been imposed in Budget but later on the people would be burdened with taxes through backdoor. He said the party was ready for elections any moment and claimed that the next government would be that of the Congress.

Trader shot;
money stolen Hisar, March 18 The Traders’ Association held a meeting after the incident and demanded that the killers be arrested soon. The Haryana Beopar Mandal president, Mr Bajrang Dass Garg, said traders would observe a bandh here on March 31 against the deteriorating law-and-order situation. Mr Pawan Kumar, Anjani’s brother, said robbery seemed to be the motive because Anjani had no enemy. No recovery of the bullet from the body during the post-mortem examination has baffled the police. The Superintendent of Police, Mr O.P. Kadyan, said, “in spite of many X-rays and CT scans, the bullet could not be traced in the body”.
