Crime in city: Mid-year review As many as 902 cases were registered by the police till the end of June, as compared to 1,369 in the corresponding period last year. The figure for murders in the district till June is almost half that of the corresponding period last year, and there is a decline in the number of kidnapping, cheating, rape and theft cases. Figures available for the number of burglaries and snatching, too, have shown a decline. While all four cases of murder in the period have been solved, the police has failed to bust any gang involved in burglaries or snatching incidents. This has only added to the growing feeling of insecurity. During the past one week, at least two cases of group clashes have been reported, where a few men attacked their victims with swords in densely populated areas. Three brothers were attacked with swords by a group of 20 men in Sector 9 on July 22, and a youth was again attacked by a group of four in Sector 9 on July 24. In both cases, the police has failed to make any arrests so far. The first half of the year saw an increase in the number of deaths in accidents. As many as 17 deaths have been reported on the stretch between Ramgarh and Pinjore, on National Highway 73 and National Highway 22, and more than 60 persons have been injured. The total number of deaths in road accidents in the district till June is 41, as compared to 34 in the same period last year. Elsewhere in the district, the near non-adherence to traffic rules and regulations is another matter in the police has been found lacking this year. Frequent change in the top brass of the police this year has only added to the problem. As many as two Superintendents of Police have already been changed, and the third one has recently joined. With each officer having a different style of policing, the rank and file of the already over-stretched police force has felt at a loss for direction in their functioning. The Superintendent of Police, Ms Mamta Singh, says that they have re-introduced the electronic beat patrol system in the township under proper supervision. The system was introduced in April 2002. The technology-based patrolling system for the cops was discontinued by the
previous Superintendent of Police. |

UT refuses to cut PEC seats Chandigarh, July 30 A senior officer told The Tribune that the counselling at the college would be held for the number of seats existing at present. Citing a previous case of admissions made in excess in the electronics and electrical streams, the council in a faxed message sent to the Principal of the college had said that 40 seats were to be reduced for three years, beginning this year. This meant that five seats in eight different streams would have to be cut for three consecutive years. The Regional Officer of the council, Mr Luxminarayan, could not be contacted despite efforts. According to sources in the college, the fax message had said that the number of computers were less as per the council’s norms. The infrastructure in the Electronics Department was also not as required and the college did not have a full-time Principal. A team from the council had recently visited the college to inspect the infrastructure. The PEC Principal, Dr Baljeet Kapoor, said a fax message addressed to the Home Secretary had been received. But he refused to divulge the details of the council’s decision. He directed this correspondent to the Home Secretary and the Director, Technical Education. Officials in the administration said they had not received any order from the AICTE. The AICTE decision has come in the wake of 120 students of the Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology being admitted to PEC. Faculty members of the PEC questioned the wisdom of the AICTE in reducing five seats in each stream for three years. The council could not reduce seats in other streams while the excess admissions were in electronics and electrical

Survey of flats with illegal floor ordered Chandigarh, July 30 Sources within the CHB said a fresh survey had been ordered to identify the major violators. The field staff has been told to file a report within the next three or four weeks. Following this, the CHB will issue notices to the residents asking them to demolish the floors constructed illegally. The survey has come about following a report in Chandigarh Tribune last week highlighting how hundreds of residents had illegally built another floor, officials admitted. Since these floors have been built over the year, the CHB will be following a procedure to remove these structures. The issue was discussed among senior officers of the Chandigarh Administration also. It was opined that the committee set up by the Administration to suggest regularisation of “need-based changes” made by residents would also not allow the construction of an additional floor, that, too, on a common area owned by the CHB. Thus there was no need to wait for the verdict of the committee on the issue. Within the CHB, an old survey, which says about 150 people had added a floor illegally to their flats, was found to be outdated. The new survey has been ordered and notices will be issued before any demolitions are carried out. Illegal flats have been built by city residents on open terraces of the existing block of flats in the southern sectors. People who have built these illegal flats are collecting rent and in some cases have accommodated their growing families on what is actually CHB space. The open terraces where these flats have come up comprise the rooftops where overhead water tanks are placed. An investigation by Chandigarh Tribune revealed that hundreds of MIG flats in Sectors 45-A, 47-C and D and also in Sectors 44-A and D, Sectors 40 and 46 have floors built illegally. These flats have two-bedroom accommodation with
illegal water tanks, power connections and sewerage connections. The original block of flats built by the CHB has a ground floor plus two storeys. Now another one has been added. The builders in most cases are the owners of the original top-floor flat.

Punjab, Haryana escape cut in water share Chandigarh, July 30 A crucial meeting of officials of these states convened by the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) for today, to re-fix the quota of water as per its availability, has been postponed to August 10. This means the states will continue to get water as per the quota fixed in June. The quota of water is fixed as per its availability in the rivers — Ravi, Beas and Satluj. It was expected that the share of each state would have been slashed at today’s meeting keeping in mind the dry conditions and the failure of the monsoons. Already the release of water from the reservoirs into the canals is less than the previous years. The share of water and power of the states is fixed on the basis of three parameters that change according to the inflow of water in the reservoirs. The three parameters are fixed as dry, dependable and mean. The last being the best followed by dependable and dry conditions. At this time of the year the release of water from the Bhakra dam is normally between 28,000 and 30,000 cusecs. Plus this is augmented by rain in the plains. Today the release was just 19,000 cusecs and there is no rain thus it meant a double blow for the farmers. From the Pong reservoir on the Beas river the release should normally be between 8,000 cusecs and 10,000 cusecs. Today it was 5,500 cusecs. At today’s meeting this release would have been reduced further keeping in mind the short term and long term requirements of the states. Officially the BBMB which manages the reservoirs feeding the irrigation canal system in these states, has conveyed to the states that this is “a dry year” . This means the worst scenario in dam management. Since the dams of the BBMB came up, such a situation has never arisen “ it is unprecedented” said the sources. The Chairman of the BBMB, Mr Rakesh Nath, explained: “We had put up the facts before the states and presented each scenario. The technical committee comprising representatives from the states decides on water share and the BBMB only follows their instructions.” When asked specifically, if the idea to re-schedule the meeting and hold it two weeks later was aimed at saving the crops and giving more water to farmers, Mr Nath admitted “ well , saving the crops is our first target”. Now the situation will be reviewed on August 10. The level of water in the Bhakra was today at 1536 elevation feet. This was 90 ft less than the level last year. In Pong the situation had improved due to rain in Himachal Pradesh in the past one week. The level today was 1300 elevation feet . It was 1316 elevation feet last year. The brim of the Bhakra and Pong is at 1680 and 1390 elevation feet, respectively. |

Kohli’s confession ‘valid’ in UK Mohali, July 30 Citing from Sections 76, 78 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, (PACE), 1984, of the UK, Mr Gupta pointed out that Kohli's confession could be examined in the UK courts as regards its ‘‘reliability’’ but is not otherwise inadmissible as evidence. Mr Gupta, however, added that Kohli's confession was particularly reliable since it is fully corroborated by the forensic, scientific and other evidence collected by the UK police against Kohli. ‘‘As a matter of fact, confessions in a police station based upon tape recorded interviews have a high probative value in British courts. And here we have a video recorded confession,’’ he said. Giving details of the procedure of extradition, Mr Gupta said that since not many extraditions had taken place from India, there were very few real precedents to follow. The borrower country has to first send a written requisition to the Government of India for the ‘surrender of the fugitive criminal’. In this case, the British Government will have to send the requisition to the Indian Government for Maninder Pal Singh's custody either directly or through the British High Commission. This the borrower nation has to do within 60 days of the provisional arrest of the fugitive criminal. In this case, the requisition papers have not been received till date, and if the papers are not received within 60 days of July 15 when he was arrested by the Kalimpong police, then Kohli is a free man. Once these papers are received the provisional arrest continues and the Central Government then notifies a magistrate to inquire into the allegations of the borrower country. While the Extradition Act, 1962, does not use the term, ‘‘extradition court’’, under the law it is a single magistrate inquiry. Before assigning the inquiry to a magistrate the Central Government would be expected to consult the High Court concerned since the magistrate is a judicial officer subordinate to the High Court. It is interesting to note that in the case of the Extradition Act, an executive order takes primacy over a judicial order. Even in a case where the magistrate had found that the borrower country's claim on the fugitive are justified, the government has the last word on the matter. ‘‘Since extradition is attribute of sovereignty the Indian government has an absolute and unfettered discretion to refuse extradition, even though the magistrate finds a prima facie case for extradition,’’pointed out Mr Gupta. When contacted about Kohli's confession, Mr Sumedh Singh Saini, IG, said:‘‘We examined Kohli on the circumstances under which he absconded. Whatever he stated, we have noted down. Further, his detailed examination has been done in the case against him in Mohali. What any accused says in police custody is inadmissible as evidence in Indian courts. We are aware of this basic provision of law. Kohli's statement is an aid to further investigations.’’ |

Police
questions Kohli’s brother Mohali, July 30 Sources added that while the police had gathered substantial evidence against Ishtpreet regarding his direct involvement in harbouring Kohli, Amritpal’s role in the case seemed minimal. Ishtpreet, who was working as a constable in the Punjab Police headquarters in Chandigarh was placed under suspension following his arrest on July 27. Amritpal Singh was an employee of the Rajpura Municipal Corporation. Sources added that the police had constituted three separate teams to look into the various aspects of the FIR lodged against Kohli at Mohali. While the team of SSP Patiala A.S. Rai and SP (D) Patiala Mr Pritpal Singh Virk were looking for the fake passport that Kohli had allegedly procured from Mohali, the SP Mohali, Mr Rakesh Agarwal is examining Kohli in reference to the places where he stayed and the persons he was associated with during his 16-month run. |

Mayor’s “discretionary quota” in eye of storm Chandigarh, July 30 Eight councillors, led by Mr PC Sanghi, have demanded that the matter should be discussed again at a meeting of the civic body on August 3 as the minutes of the previous meeting were not recorded properly. If the item is included in the agenda of the forthcoming meeting, the housing project will hit a roadblock hampering the resource-generation efforts of the civic body. At the meeting of the House on July 27, a lot of din was raised on the confirmation of the minutes of this particular decision. Ultimately is was decided to see the video of that meeting in which the agenda was passed on July 28. However, the film was viewed seen prompting eight councillors to initiate a fresh move. With a view to generating revenue, the fund-starved MCC, at one of its meetings recently, had okayed a decision to auction 5.3 acres to a private coloniser in pockets 2 and 3 in Mani Majra for the construction of the multi-storeyed flats. While the coloniser was obliged to reserve 20 per cent of the total flats for the economically weaker sections, 30 per cent of the flats were to be reserved for the middle income group(MIG). and to protect the interests of the oustees, 10 per cent of the total flats were to be reserved for them. However, it is the quota of the Mayor, which has kicked up a row with the councillors contending that the minutes of the meeting were not recorded properly. At the meeting, it was reportedly decided that “10 per cent of the total dwelling units in the said pockets shall be allotted to the sub-allottees as per the recommendations of the Mayor.” It is not for the first time that Mayor’s discretion has been opposed. During the meeting, Mr Gian Chand Gupta, BJP councillor, had opposed the decision. However, the Congress majority in the House ensured the approval of the proposal.way of excess clause and the cost of installment. Apart from Rs 9,387 already paid to the complainant, the firm was order to Rs 28,833 to the hotel. |

Unruly scenes mark Hans show Panchkula, July 30 Hundreds of people from the township and neighbouring Chandigarh and Mohali converged at the venue in Sector 5 to catch the Punjabi pop stars in action. The stars had the crowds swaying to their Punjabi beats and the police had a tough time controlling the crowds. The four-hour show was telecast live on Alpha TV Punjabi. A 20-feet high dome was erected at the Sector 5 grounds for the show and computer-aided sound-and-light effects added to the eclectic performances by the pop stars. Though Hans Raj Hans made a late entry on the stage, his performance made by for his late entry and left the crowds asking for more. He recreated the rustic Punjabi magic on stage with the dancers dressed in traditional attire, as he enthraled the crowds with “Chal
Jindua” and “Nachan to pehlan hoka deyange”. The other performers included Nachhatar Gill who rendered “Ni kudiye lagdi nyari
ni” and “Saadi Gal”, Satwinder Bugga, sang his famous number “Yaar na
vichde”, and Sarabjit Mangat charmed everyone with his “Boliyan” and “Jhanak
jhanak.” The police had made elaborate security arrangements and other than the VIP enclosure, the police had to make mild use of force to control the frenzied fans. Most officials of the district administration and MC president, Seema Chaudhary were also
present. |
Ailing and broke, he needs help Chandigarh, July 30 “It was more than an year-and-a-half ago that the problem surfaced. For over a year, doctors at my home town treated me, but when their treatment failed, they advised me to go to the PGI,” says Vinod. Having exhausted his savings on treatment, Vinod still needs Rs 50,000 for treatment and Rs 900 for the monthly medication. “I worked as a labourer earlier, but that is over now. My elder brothers sold the house at my village, but that money is exhausted too,” adds Vinod. His wife Santosh and his four children have accompanied Vinod during his stay in the city. Now the shade of the tree is their home and the free meals given by good Samaritans at the hospital takes care of the family’s needs. Even as PGI officials say free shelter is provided to poor patients, the family seems oblivious of it. “Initially we stayed at the PGI
sarai, but after two weeks, we could not afford the monthly rent of around Rs 1,500. The shelter at the gurdwara too was not available as only the patient was allowed for such a long stay and not the children and other family members,” says Santosh, sitting beside her husband. Doctors at Department of Orthopaedics at the new
OPD, where Vinod is getting treatment, have recommended his case for free medicines. Santosh claims that they never got the medicines as the medicines were out of stock. Those willing to donate money can send it in favour of Director, PGI or contact the public relations office at 2747585-6003. |

Panchkula, July 30
Among the major breakthroughs for the police were the arrest of the suspects in the daylight robbery at Manoj Nangia’s house about four months ago and the recent arrest of an eight-member gang involved in three murders.
