Cong leader booked for assaulting Dy CMO
Rewari, June 26 A case under Sections 353, 332 and 186 of the IPC has been registered against the district Congress chief on the basis of a written complaint lodged by the doctor. Copies of the complaint have been sent by the complainant to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister, Haryana, the Director-General of Health Services, Haryana, and the Chairman of the Minorities Commission. He was allegedly manhandled by the district Congress chief in the office of the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) in the presence of Dr Rohtash Yadav, Deputy Director, Health Services, and Dr S.C. Mittal, the CMO of Narnaul. In the absence of the CMO, Dr Gurdeep Singh and Dr Yadav, who was accompanied by the Congress leader, exchanged hot words after Dr Gurdeep Singh reportedly refused to oblige Dr Yadav, who wanted to go through office records pertaining to a specific case. While this was going on, Dr Mittal entered his office and Mr Rao Ram Singh, who apparently lost his cool, allegedly roughed up Dr Gurdeep Singh. Following a rapprochement bid by senior officials of the district later in the evening, Mr Rao Ram Singh tendered a written apology, that pacified Dr Gurdeep Singh. The doctor lodged a written complaint on June 23, following which the Narnaul police registered a case. Dr Neel Kanth Sharma, Director-General of Health Services, took a serious note of the matter. As a result, Dr Yadav was divested of his powers as nodal officer for Narnaul and Rewari districts, which were given to Dr A.S. Sodhi. Dr Sharma also sought a detailed report in this regard from Dr Mittal. |

Uncertainty mars opening of overbridge
Kurukshetra, June 26 Enquiries revealed that the ROB project was completed a month back but it is yet to be opened for the public. The work on the project was started by the Chautala government in 2003. The bridge was constructed on the built operate and transfer (BOT) agreement by Zoom Developers Private Limited, a Mumbai-based construction company. Zoom Developers constructed the main part of the bridge, having length of approximately 1 km, but the railways undertook the part of construction of 70 m crossing above the rail tracks. Highly placed sources informed TNS that Member of Parliament from Kurukshetra Naveen Jindal was against the provision of toll tax. He had reportedly written to the state government to pay the cost of construction i.e Rs 13.86 crore to the company instead of allowing it to collect toll tax. The PWD had written to the Chief Minister Office (CMO) two weeks ago to take a decision on the issue but they have yet to receive a reply. Giving details of the agreement, a top official said it was decided that the private company would charge toll from the users for seven years, 11 months and 27 days. Rates were also fixed at Rs 10 for cars, Rs 20 for light commercial vehicles, Rs 30 for heavy vehicles. No toll will be charged from two wheelers but three wheelers will be charged. |
