INSO changes presidential candidate
The Delhi University administration has put student organisations in a state of crisis. After the final scrutiny of the nomination papers the DUSU election was conducted yesterday, almost all organisations have reshuffled their candidates. Indian National Students Organisation (INSO) has today decided to field Mohammad Ali Akhtar as their presidential candidate for the upcoming DUSU elections. ABVP fields new candidates
There is much heat on DU campus, as the countdown for the DUSU elections begin. Pushed into a corner on the Lyngdoh Committee report, the ABVP fielded a fresh set of candidates today, as three of their nominations got cancelled, after the scrutiny results were announced yesterday. The ABVP announced the names of its candidates contesting the DUSU polls in a press conference held in the Capital today. Abhishek Tandon, Suman Lata, Renu and Manvinder Singh will contest the students' union elections for the post of president, vice-president, secretary and joint secretary respectively. Rajiv Ranjan from the ABVP informed, "We announced our fresh candidates today however, the protest still continues. Today, we protested at the arts faculty and, tomorrow there will be more protest on the campus. We have fielded fresh candidates to honour the court's decision. However, we believe that the administration's stand is unfair, as also the rejection of our earlier candidates." Ranjan added that there was a possibility of the ABVP to go on a relay hunger strike, but a decision in that regard had not been taken yet. The situation at the university remained chaotic, with other parties hunting for new candidates to replace the rejected ones, as well as continuing with the campaigning. |

Bidhuri meets Maken; discusses sealing, demolition
New Delhi, August 30 Bidhuri informed Maken that large scale sealing of establishments was taking place in villages and rural parts of the Capital in addition to the new directive for sealing commercial establishments in the 1500-odd unauthorized colonies. The NCP leader said this was not justified and sealing and demolitions should be stopped without any further delay. He said it was unfortunate MCD squads were targeting activities running in villages for decades. He said in case of rural Delhi and villages, under the law there is no requirement for any sanctioned plan to construct buildings or run an activity. He said in order to protect the people of villages, it was important that the United Progressive Alliance Government should put a one-year moratorium on sealing and demolitions. In the meantime a proper policy be formulated to allow them to carry out such activities in a respectable manner. He said the people of villages earned their livelihood by running business establishments as their land had been acquired for development of the Capital. They had no other source of income and to displace them and render them without any source of livelihood would result in a law and order situation in the Capital. On the issue of unauthorized colonies, Bidhuri informed Maken that in view of the recent Supreme Court order to seal all commercial activity within three weeks time in unauthorized colonies, it was important some solution was found to prevent displacement of lakhs of people. He said the government should also include the unauthorized colonies in the proposed legislation so that the moratorium was put on the sealing and demolitions in such colonies which were still to get basic civic amenities. He urged Maken to take immediate steps to introduce this legislation in Parliament.

Cop rapes girl
Gurgaon, August 30 The victim told 'The Tribune' that she wanted the policeman to get the maximum punishment for spoiling her life. She said that the accused Pawan, who is a head constable, first raped her on August 11, after telling her that she had to visit the police post for immediate investigation and, then, on August 13, when he entered her house in Sukhrali, part II. On August 11 the victim had lost her handset and had gone to the police post in the evening to lodge a complaint. It was there that she met Pawan. A couple of policemen visited to investigate the place, where she had lost her cell phone. After the investigation, Pawan visited her house around 11 pm and asked her to accompany him to the police post for further investigation in the case. But, instead of taking her to the police post, he took her to a bushy area. The girl, who had shifted to Gurgaon from Kalkaji nearly two months ago, said that on suspecting the wrong intentions of the constable she started screaming, but he gagged her mouth with a handkerchief. Next morning, she went to the police station to lodge a complaint, but Pawan threatened of framing certain false charges against her, if she brought the incident to light. She got afraid and returned. But, on August 13 he again came to her place and raped her, the victim lamented. She stated that there was no woman constable at the police post on August 11, when she reached there to lodge the complaint. Despite the Haryana police chief, R S Dalal's assurance that police stations in Gurgaon would get women police constables to make them women-friendly, there was no arrangement for the deployment of women constables. DCP (west) Maharaj Singh disclosed that the accused constable had been suspended. "We have initiated action against the head constable. There will be a departmental inquiry and criminal proceedings will be initiated against him. If our man is at fault severe action will be taken against him," he said. |
