5,000 chicken die in poultry farm
Barwala (Panchkula), April 28 Receiving information regarding the deaths of chicken in Himani Poultry Farm, the authorities of the district administration, including the Deputy Commissioner and Director of Animal Husbandry, visited the spot. According to sources, chicken had been dying for the past two days. The matter came to light after the residents noticed foul smell being emitted from the poultry farm. They informed the Subdivisional Magistrate, Panchkula. The news spread like wild fire and the district administration virtually camped in the village. A team of veterinary doctors conducted post-mortem examinations and sent blood samples of live and dead birds to Jalandhar to detect if the chickens died because of "bird flu" or any other disease. H.C. Disodia, Financial Commissioner, Animal Husbandry, Haryana, claimed that the birds died due to starvation and negligence of the farm owner. He made it clear that no signs of contagious disease were found during post-mortem of some birds. K.S. Dangi, Director of Animal Husbandry Department, said poultry farm owner Rajiv Thappar had not fed the birds for the past couple of days. Moreover, the chicken were also not provided water. A sharp rise in the mercury had proved a fuel to the fire, he added. Mr Dangi claimed that the farm housed over 25,000 birds, including 5000 growing stock of 10-15-week-old. Over 17,000 birds in the farm were healthy. "Had it been a case of any contagious disease like bird flu, the entire livestock would have finished till date", claimed Dangi. He claimed that Thappar had not buried and dead chickens thus violating the norms. Legal action would be taken against him, he added. The district administration has also decided to check all 120 poultry farms in the district for which six teams of doctors were constituted. The checking drive would be launched from Saturday onwards.

Poultry trade recovering from bird flu
Chandigarh, April 28 Owing to a gap between the demand and the supply, the rate of dressed broiler is expected to go up to Rs 125 a kg, said Mr Rajinder Mittal, general secretary of the North India Poultry Farmers Association. A number of small poultry farmers had closed down their business in the aftermath of the bird flu scare, he added. At the Peshwari Super Market, Sector 19, dressed broiler was selling for Rs 75 a kg. A few weeks ago it was being sold for Rs 50 a kg, said the shopkeeper. The price of mutton has increased from Rs 130 a kg to Rs 175 a kg. At the Shimla Broiler shop, Sector 21 meat market, broiler was selling for Rs 75 a kg while mutton price was Rs 130 a kg. Mr Vijay, president of the Sector 21 Meat Market Association, said the rates were expected to increase in the coming days. Meanwhile, Mr Rajinder Mittal said undressed broiler was being sold between Rs 35 a kg and Rs 40 a kg. During the bird flue scare undressed broiler was selling between Rs 8 a kg and Rs 10 a kg. “The reason for an increase in price”, says Mr Mittal is due to culling of young birds following bird flu scare.

Water issue: walkout at MC meeting
Chandigarh, April 28 After failing to get a satisfactory reply from the Mayor on the time frame in which the issue would be resolved, the Opposition staged a walkout. The Opposition said the Congress had failed to fulfill its promise of giving 24-hour water supply. The issue of water overshadowed the 10 agenda items that were placed before the House. Soon after the meeting started, the issue of getting additional water from Kajauli was raised by Mr Subash Chawla. He said despite the corporation incurring huge expenditure on laying of pipes, water had not reached Chandigarh. The former Mayor wanted to know the time in which the issue would be settled
Mr Chawla said if the issue was not settled, it could become a political issue during the next assembly elections in Punjab. Ms Kamla Sharma of the BJP said it was a serious issue. Mr Jatinder Bhatia, another councillor, said water pressure to the houses of the Punjab Government should be lowered. The Mayor, Mr Surinder Singh, said he would meet the Punjab Chief Minister for finding an amicable solution to the problem. The Mayor said the MP was busy in the marriage of his son. The Opposition councillor expressed concern over the delay on the part of the Administration and the MP of not taking up the issue with Punjab. The issue of MC not being able to get matching grant during the year 2005-2006 was also raised by Mr Chawla. The Mayor said he would take up the issue with the Administration. Other issues approved during the meeting were the disposal of slaughter house waste as per the Biomedical Waste Management and Handling Rules, 1998, imposition of paid parking in the transport area, review of the reserve price for the auction of hotel site in Sector 35 etc.

No protests against demolitions for
Zirakpur, April 28 In fact, with the alleged encroachers also chipping in for the removal of the encroachments along with the government machinery, the work on the ambitious project is being speeded up. With the cutting of thousands of trees also going on simultaneously, the traffic bottlenecks along the highway would be a thing of the past when the four-laning is completed in over two years' time. Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, the SDO of the Central Works Division, Mr Arshdeep Singh, informed that the department had sent out a clear message to the shopkeepers that structures on the government land would have to demolished.
Recently, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has slapped demolition notices on 148 shopkeepers on both sides of road in Zirakpur. Till recently, the felling of trees and the demolition of the shops posed two major challenges before the authorities concerned for the four-laning
project. The demolition of shops was supposed to kick up a storm with the shopkeepers, including the influential property
consultants, opposing them. However, as the demolition is proving to be a smooth affair, the project seems to be on track. The completion of the
project, which entails the building of over 2 km flyover at Zirakpur, three major bridges, besides the service roads, will remove major traffic bottlenecks on the
highway. With thousands of vehicles passing through the road everyday, accidents are a routine affair, making this a "killer
stretch". In fact, a major portion of Zirakpur township would get under the flyover as it would stretch from near the Silver City Extension to near Mayur Hotel on the Chandigarh side. The four-laning of the road will also reduce the travelling time between Chandigarh and Ambala. While currently close to one hour is spent for travelling between the two cities, the four-laning would reduce the time up to 30 minutes, much to the relief of the harassed commuters. Currently, in the wake of the encroachments on both sides of the road on Zirakpur, traffic jams are an everyday
affair. The flyover at Zirakpur, the sources said, would take care of traffic jams. It may be recalled that the four-laning project had been hanging fire for at least for a decade now inconveniencing commuters. It was during the previous NDA regime that the project was approved under the National Highways Development Project (NHDP). The then Minister for Surface Transport and National Highways, Maj-Gen BC Khanduri (Retd), had performed the "bhoomi poojan" of the project over two years back.

Jasbir’s kin allege murder
Chandigarh, April 28 The post-mortem was conducted today at the Sector 16 General Hospital. When asked about the post-mortem report, the SHO of the Sector 34 Police Station, Mr Ram Gopal, said, “A board of doctors carried out the post-mortem today. They did not give definite opinion at this stage and recommended a viscera examination to ascertain the exact cause of death. However, the board reported that no external injury was found”. A team of experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory was also called to the hospital to examine the body. Sources said that the police was verifying the mobile phone call details of the deceased and it was found out that he had talked over his phone on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, confusion prevailed among the relatives of the deceased as the investigating officer did not allow them to see the body. The relatives alleged that they were shown some other body which was decomposed and beyond recognition. Mr Teja Singh, confused father of the deceased, said he could not recognise the body. It was his son Sarabjit Singh and Mr Shyam Lal, Jasbir’s friend, who had confirmed the deceased’s identity. Shyam Lal said it was 100 per cent Jasbir’s body as he recognised it from a scare on the deceased’s arm. Describing the body he alleged it was a “murder” as the eyes protruded from the skull and the tongue was also sticking out indicating that the deceased had been “strangulated”. The head of they victim had badly swelled, he alleged. The relatives also rued the insensitive attitude of the Chandigarh Police. Mr Shyam Lal and Mr Malkiat Singh, an uncle of the deceased, were seen requesting the police to allow them to see the body to clear their doubts, but, Sub-Inspector Shamsher Singh remained adamant and kept on saying that they would show the body after post-mortem. It was only after numerous persuasions that he allowed them to see the body. Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Mr Sarabjit Singh said Jasbir had met them on Tuesday and after that they had no information about him. Mr Chander Parkash, an acquaintance and an employee of HMT, said Jasbir Singh was an expert mechanic and there was a very thin possibility of his being got electrocuted while working.

Kaavya’s act — “morally reprehensible, unpardonable”
Until a few days ago, she was being hailed as the darling of the literary world, the perfect expressionist who has brain enough to impress a fastidious publishing industry in the US. But before the glory of “How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life” could become permanent, cracks surfaced and the façade of falsehood came crashing down. The splinters fell in the face of publishers — Little, Brown and Company — who might well be thanking their stars that the news prevented the second in the two-book deal from getting started. The graduate for her part must be learning to handle plagiarism — something she might well have tried to hit the ground running much before she otherwise could have. Or so feel some writers, though the majority doesn’t want to give her any benefit of doubt. They would rather she atoned for her act which “could not be possible except with intention”. Harvard Crimson has showed how at one point Kaavya’s book contains a 14 word passage that appears verbatim in McCafferty’s book “Sloppy Firsts”. At others, her literary expression managed to get so close to McCafferty’s that there seemed no difference between the two. This happened on eight occasions — a frequency high enough to challenge Kaavya’s worth as a writer in the first place. Humra Qureishi, Delhi-based author and columnist, agrees, “This streak is abnormal, and this act unpardonable. A writer stands out for his/her individual thought processes. It is his perception and expression to situations that set him apart from the rest. Otherwise the world is the same. Kaavya’s act, if proved, will create a divide between her and her readers. The episode is upsetting indeed.” But author Anees Jung does not read malice into the graduate’s act. Surprised at first, she says she does not know how Kaavya took passages from another writer’s work. “It is wrong to take anything from anybody, but perhaps because she is so young and so full of admiration for the person she has read that she took passages without thinking about the consequences. I don’t think this is plagiarism. We need to study the definition of plagiarism before commenting on the issue.” The definition too is clear: “Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty, specifically the unacknowledged use of another person’s idea (s), information, language or writing. It is a serious academic offence. Seen against this backdrop, charges against Kaavya become graver as her book contains several passages that are identically phrased as those in McCafferty’s 2001 novel reflecting on a similar adolescent theme. No wonder Kaavya’s literary career is being held as “over”. “It better be”, asserts eminent Urdu litterateur Dr K.L. Zakir who has witnessed the damage that plagiarism has done to Urdu poetry. “There have been people who have lifted the verses of legends like Ghalib, added a few lines and attributed the creation to themselves. It is sinful to do so, unless of course the writer borrows a phrase for reference in his own work. In such a case, credit must be given,” he says. Several other writers think alike, though some like Dr Naresh have a stronger opinion. An author of 62 Hindi books, Dr Naresh blames the malady on ineffective laws. “The law should have strong punitive measures against such acts of omission. Stealing a writer’s line of thought is like stealing someone’s child. It should be discouraged at all costs because it also leads to pseudo writing, which is even worse.” Whatever the outcome of the Vishwanathan episode, it has again brought the focus back to an issue no writer worth his salt would ever want to be associated with.

Decks cleared for NCC complex in Chandigarh
Chandigarh, April 27 According to sources, the foundation laying ceremony of the
new complex, to come up in Sector 49, is tentatively scheduled for July
15. The complex will house all establishments of the Chandigarh NCC
Group, including office accommodation for units, residential quarters,
officers’ mess and training area. At present, the Chandigarh NCC
Group is functioning from the hostel premises of the Chandigarh College
of Engineering and Technology (CCET) in Sector 26. The Group comprises
four units, one each of the army, air and naval wings and a girls’
battalion, with a total strength of about 4,000 cadets from 26 schools
and colleges. It is the oldest organisation in Chandigarh, with its
history going back to 1917. The NCC group had been under pressure from
the CCET authorities to vacate the hostel, which had been allotted to
the group years ago. In 2003, the UT Home Secretary intimated the NCC
authorities to vacate the premises, but since there was no suitable
accommodation available, extension was granted. In the meantime, the
decision to allot land for an NCC complex kept lingering. NCC was
initially offered 4.5 acres of land in Sector 49-C, but it was later
reduced to 2.6 acres following realignment of a major road passing
through the area. The allotment of land for the complex comes in the
wake of a policy decision made at a high level meeting at South Block,
New Delhi in 2003. it was then resolved that all states create cohesive
NCC complexes capable of housing an entire group and its units,
including training infrastructure. NCC is funded jointly by the
central and state governments. It is the responsibility of the state
government to provide accommodation of NCC units within their respective
states.

What do you have to say about the education system in India? The best part of the Indian education system is its diversity. The country has world-class educational institutes. And most important aspect is that parents as well as children recognise the importance of education and as such work very hard. Any negative aspect noticed in the system? I have heard that there is a tendency of classes being teacher-focussed rather than being student-focussed. Under the modern education system, more focus should be laid on students. What differences do you see in students from Indian schools and those in the UK? Students in India are more committed to education and are aware that it is going to play an important part in their lives in the future. In the UK, students are more complacent about their future. The discipline in Indian classrooms is outstanding and students have respect for their elders, but it is not so in the UK. Kulwinder Sangha

MCC moots separate processing plant for meat garbage
Chandigarh, April 28 The MC proposes to set up a bio-gas plant of three-ton capacity based on slaughter house and vegetable waste. The plant will generate about 6-7 cylinders of bio-gas (19 kg each or 18-20 KW electricity which can be used for operation of slaughter house). The MC was moved to take up the option because the MoU, signed with the M/s Jai Prakash Associates, clearly stated that “no slaughter house waste will be supplied to the company along with the solid wastes”. The corporation estimated the rough cost of the project at about Rs 40 lakh. Once the matter was cleared by the General House of the corporation, the MC would be soon floating the tenders seeking ‘expression of interest’. It was pointed out that as per the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules; disposal of slaughter house waste, along with the solid waste, was not permissible. Once the processing unit was commissioned, the MC would find it difficult to dispose the waste. The corporation has one modernised slaughter house in the Industrial Area. Approximately 1000 kg of waste, along with 100 kg waste of meat, is generated in the city, daily. Presently, the slaughter house waste is being dumped in the Dadu Majra Dumping Ground which was against the waste disposal rules. The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee advised the MC to submit an action plan for disposal of meat waste. The MC contacted the PGI, General Hospital, Sector 16 and GMCH, Sector 32. All three institutions expressed their inability to handle the meat waste, sources said. Dr G.C.Bansal, Medical Officer Health, met the MOH, Pune, where small bio-gas plants have been set-up and are functioning satisfactorily. Another similar plant of 20 tonnes capacity has been set-up by the Municipal Corporation, Vijayawada, which also gave a satisfactory report regarding functioning of the plant. The main proposals of the slaughter house disposal plant include: capacity to treat three tonne combined waste of slaughter house and vegetable market yard; an area of 400 square metres; 3500-4500 litres of water daily; and no foul odour from the plant. The company will also be responsible for operation and maintenance of the plant, sources added.

100 acres needed to relocate dairies
Chandigarh, April 28 About 100 acres of land was required to relocate these milch cattle, said sources in the Administration. The office of the Land Acquisition Collector and Rural Development has been asked by the Administration to check out the availability of land. Though other modalities like terms and conditions for rehabilitating the dairies was yet to be worked out. It could be on the pattern of the milk colony set up by the Administration on the outskirts of Maloya village. In Attawa, Burail, Badheri and Buterla villages, around 2,000 cattle heads have been already shifted to Maloya village milk colony. The owners of milch cattle have been given plots measuring 10 marla and 1 kanal on rent by the Chandigarh Administration. Sources said since the Administration was toying with the idea of setting up model villages, these illegal dairies were an eyesore and a stumbling block in the upgrading of basic amenities. “Once these dairies move out, we can plan villages as envisaged by the subgroup of the Administrator’s Advisory Council,” said a senior official. The subgroup constituted for the development of UT villages has recommended remodelling of the hub of the villages and to do away with the unhygienic conditions and haphazard growth. Sources said the relocation could be at more than one place seeing the requirement of the land. The villages where the maximum numbers of milch cattle were being reared were Hallo Majra, Dhanas and Sarangpur. Mr Subash Chawla, a former Mayor, while referring to the moving out of dairies from the four MC villages, said after initial reluctance, the cattle owners were a happy lot as the rate of property had gone up.
