INLD not to issue whip FATEHABAD, Feb 25 — The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) will not issue a whip to its MPs on voting in the Lok Sabha on the Bill for the ratification of President's rule in Bihar. Talking to mediapersons here today, the INLD chief, Mr Om Parkash Chautala, said the party MPs had been authorised to take their own decision in this regard. Mr Chautala said his party was not opposed to the use of Article 356 of the Constitution in principle. But he added that his party was against the misuse of the provision. The INLD leader said he strongly believed that the Centre had imposed President's rule in Bhiar out of political illwill rather than out of administrative necessity. He said had the government made clear its intentions, it would have taken the action first in Haryana, where according to Mr Chautala, 8756 cases of murder had been reported in the last one year against 400 cases in Bihar in the corresponding period. Mr Chautala was highly critical of the Union Home Minister, Mr Lal Krishan Advani, and said Mr Advani's desire to become the Prime Minister would end in the fall of the BJP-led government. Equating Mr Advani with the former Congress President, Mr Sita Ram Kesri, Mr Chautala said as Mr Kesri's eagerness to become the Prime Minister had led to the fall of the United Front government, the Union Home Minister's endeavours would hasten the fall of the BJP led government. Mr Chautala said his party would organise a rally at the Ramlila Grounds in Delhi on March 6. The former Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Devi Lal, would preside over it, while former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda would be the main speaker. The party would convey the resentment of the common man against the recent hikes in the prices of urea and PDS. Earlier, addressing workers at the local Ram Seva Samiti, Mr Chautala explained the reasons for the withdrawal of the party's support to the government. Tribune News Service adds from Hisar: The INLD president, Mr Om Parkash Chautala, on Thursday ridiculed the claim of the Congress that it was going to stage a comeback and said "they are befooling people about the outcome of assembly results in three states of Delhi, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh". Speaking at a workers' meeting here, he said it was not a vote for the Congress. Since people were fed up with the sharp price rise and they were "not satisfied" with the performance of the BJP-led coalition government at the Centre, they voted against the BJP. He also disputed the claim of the Congress that its February 13 rally was bigger than that of Mr Devi Lal in 1987 at the same venue. He accused the Congress of ignoring the interests of the poor and farmers and said "for the past 50 years the Congress had exploited the poor, the Dalits and the farmers'. He criticised the party for not raising the issue of, recent price rise at its Jind rally. Mr Chautala exhorted the
party workers to mobilise support and "beware of the
false propaganda of the Congress". He said they
should ensure that the March 6 rally of the INLD was a
big success. |
Banking services affected SONEPAT, Feb 25 — Bank services all over the district were paralysed today as the employees went on a two-day strike in support of their demands. The striking employees assembled in front of their banks and held demonstrations. They also shouted slogans against the government. However, the customers were critical of the decision of the bank employees to resort to the strike frequently and the failure of the government to resolve the dispute and avert the strike. The Customers Association is contemplating to move the court on this issue as frequent strikes by the bank employees had not only hit the country's economy but caused inconvenience to the customers. ROHTAK: Banking services in the district were totally paralysed as employees of various banks, including officers, went on a two-day strike today. The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) had called upon the bank unions to strike work to demand revision in pay-grades. The agitating employees held a massive demonstration in front of the local branch of State Bank of India and later took out a protest march raising slogans against the IBA, the Union Finance Minister and the Centre. Mr M.L. Arora, spokesman of the UFBU, told reporters that because of the adamant attitude adopted by the IBA and Union Finance Minister, the negotiations on revision of pay grades had failed. BHIWANI: Bank employees and officers remained on strike here today and gathered in front of the State Bank of India branch. A dharna was also staged. The leaders describe the new economic policies as anti-people. Considering the bank strike genuine, CITU leaders, UTUC (LS) and the Sarv Karamchari Sangh assured bank employees of their full cooperation. JIND: Employees of the local branches of nationalised banks today observed a strike to press for the acceptance of their demands. The striking bank employees held a demonstration and raised slogans. Mr Ajay Singla, Vice-President, State Bank of Patiala Employees Union, Haryana, said bank employees would start an indefinite strike from March 17 if their demands were not accepted. SIRSA: The strike by bank employees here hampered bank work. The employees took out a rally through the main bazars before assembling in front of Canara Bank. The central government was criticised for their rigid attitude towards their demands. They warned that if 7th
Bilateral Agreement was not implemented, then they would
be compelled to go on indefinite strike. |
Community forest project launched CHANDIGARH, Feb 25 — The Haryana Forest department has launched a community forest project worth Rs 126 crore from November last with the assistance of the European Union in the state for a period of nine years. Mr Jagdish Yadav, Minister of State for Forests, said in the first phase 27,380 hectares of land of 300 villages would be brought under afforestation. Seven divisions had been made under this project for the successful implementation of afforestation. The villages have already been identified in Ambala, Yamunanagar, Hisar, Bhiwani and Rewari division of the department to ensure greater participation of the farmers in this project over panchayats and private land. The division headquarters at Bhiwani would serve the purpose of monitoring and evaluation while the Hisar division would work for publicity and extension needs of the project, he added. Only those villages had been identified which have more than 50 acres of panchayats land available for afforestation. The income from the trees would be spent on the development of such villages in which sapling were being planted. Beside this, the farmers would get free fodder and grass. The minister said that the European Union would provide 78 per cent grant of the total cost while the rest of the money would be borne by the state government. Major categories of afforestation included village wood-lots, sand dune fixation and farm forestry utilisation poplar. Mr Yadav said the department would plant two crore more saplings of various varieties under the project to increase people's participation in the afforestation programme. He claimed that the government had launched a number of schemes for creating awareness among the people regarding afforestation and increasing the area under forest in the state. He added that fruit plants were provided to Scheduled Castes families free of cost. These schemes would also
help create income-generating activities for the rural
masses, he averred. |
‘24-hour
power supply’
by June-end CHANDIGARH, Feb 25 — The Haryana Minister of State for Agriculture, Mrs Krishna Gahlawat, said no previous governments could do as many development works in the Rohat constituency as by this government in the past 32 months. She said work on all the projects had already been taken up which were announced during the Chief Minister's visit to Kharkhoda on October 3, 1998. She claimed that 95 per cent grant to Kharkhoda college had been sanctioned besides construction of a new bus stand at Kharkhoda, bypass work of Kharkhoda, approval for a 10-bed hospital in the memory of Paramvir Award winner Col Hoshiar Singh at his native village Sisana. The work on these projects was being taken up on a war footing. She said she herself inspected the construction site of new bus stand in Kharkhoda along with administrative officers and other local prominent persons and found the site suitable in all respects. Mrs Gahlawat said round-the-clock power supply would be available to the people of Haryana by June 30. A sum of Rs 50 crore would be spent in improving the power supply system in Sonepat district. Several new sub-stations would be set up in some villages of the district which included 132 kv new sub-station at Harsana Kala, Kundli and Murthal and a 32 kv sub-station at Budana and Akbarpur Barota. In addition to these, a 220 kv capacity sub-station would be set up in Sonepat city. These new sub-stations would cost nearly Rs 27.16 crore. The minister said that
power sub-station situated at Gohana, Kundli, Kharkhoda,
Bega and Kalana would be augmented. New power lines would
be laid at a cost of Rs 8 crore from the Panipat thermal
power plant to Sonepat to ensure better power supply. A
transformer each at Kharkhoda and Pharmana would be
installed in near future. Besides these the capacity of
the existing 4 MVA transformers would be increased to 6.3
MVA, she added. |
A pond full of woes AMBALA, Feb 25 — The cantonment Municipal Council authorities have done a volte face over the issue of building plans on a piece of land known as Ram Nagar ki Diggi The piece of land is situated amid the Muslim colony on the Ram Bagh road, Housing Board Colony and Ram Nagar Colony. The "diggi" (water pond), was acquired and filled up with earth recently by a coloniser. When the officials of the Municipal Council, Ambala Sadar, came to know about it, they put up two notice boards on the site, warning the general public that the piece of land in question fell under the Urban Area Act, 1975, and it was illegal to raise any construction or sell, develop plots out of the land, or advertise it under the Town and Country Planning Act. The violators were threatened with arrest and demolition of the structures. However, it is alleged that the coloniser managed to fill up the pond with earth and carved out several plots and sold away most of those. The coloniser submitted an application with the Municipal Council seeking sanction of the housing development scheme. The municipal engineer of the council fixed February 23 for a meeting of the works and building sub-committee for considering the application. The scheme was on the agenda of the meeting held on Tuesday along with the comments of the engineer. Mr Piara Lal Bhardwaj (BJP) and Mr Mehar Singh (HVP) in their protest letters to the district officials pointed out yesterday that the piece of land in question was meant only for a brick kiln and it was highly unsafe to construct houses on it. They feared that any building constructed on it could collapse later. The municipal councillors have also pointed out that the case fell under the Haryana Urban Development Act, 1975, and the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Area Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963. Surprisingly, the council officials had told the police and the District Town Planner to initiate legal action against the coloniser, but in a volte face, the building plans were put on the agenda of the works committee meeting. The municipal councillors want to know reasons behind the change in the stand. One of the notice boards put up by the civic body on the site is missing. Mr Bhardwaj has sent copies of his complaint in this regard to the Director, Local Bodies, Haryana and Director, Country and Town Planning, Haryana, for necessary action. He alleged that some members of the building and works sub-committee were interested in seeing the building plans through. Mrs Kusum Lata Jain, a BJP
councillor, who participated in the meeting of the
committee on Tuesday alleged that though she had opposed
the move to sanction the building plans of the piece of
land in question, yet her comments were ignored by the
officials. She said even the suitability report of the
engineer was missing. In her observations to the
Director, Local Bodies, she has opposed any construction
on the land. |
Fisheries
a boon for jobless GURGAON: The Home Minister, Mr LK Advani, recently laid the foundation stone of an apparel international mart (AIM) in Sector 44 here. The first of its kind in India, the AIM will provide a permanent, international-level exhibition space for garment exporters from across the country. The mart will be spread over a sprawling five acres, housing centrally air-conditioned permanent showrooms with state-of-the-art architecture, exhibition complex and facilities. The AIM will also host events like the India International Garment Fair which is being organised by the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) at Pragati Maidan in Delhi biannually. Once complete, the AIM will be home to the corporate offices of the AEPC, AIM and the Apparel Training and Design Centre (ATDC), making the mart the centre for promotion of garment exports from India. International buyers will be provided with transportation facilities from the airport to the AIM and back, giving them an opportunity to browse through the organised exhibition area of the mart. **** The Management Development Institute (MDI) here will be launching a fellow programme in management this year. Established in 1973 for training practising managers, the MDI has since grown manifold as an integrated business school. It is one of the pioneers of executive education in India and conducts around 150 programmes with about 3,600 practising managers passing through its portals every year. Designed to be multi-disciplinary in its approach, the MDI fellowship will be offered to candidates from any discipline, with a minimum qualification of a masters in any basic discipline or a bachelors in engineering. The candidates are expected to have a consistently high scholastic achievement record though the minimum requirement is 55 per cent marks in the final examination. The MDI recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Baan Institute, Hyderabad, for collaborating in research and education for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and management. The company is a leading provider of enterprise-wide and inter-enterprise software solutions worldwide. **** Fishery, which has been adopted in a big way in the backward Mewat area of the district, is proving to be a boon both for unemployed youth in the villages as well as the village panchayats. While the jobless youth are getting an opportunity for livelihood, the village panchayats are raking in substantial revenue from the auctioning of village ponds. Earlier the panchayats used the ponds for fishery largely for their own consumption, getting a nominal income. Now they have started getting a good return out of the ponds by auctioning them for fish farming to unemployed youth on a lease ranging from five to 10 years. This has also helped in utilising the land that was becoming a wasteland due the marsh collecting therein. The problem of the marsh was especially being faced in the area along the Gurgaon Canal, where the rising level of the groundwater was converting this agricultural land into a marshy region. The government started offering loans through various banks to dig up the ponds for fishery purpose. Forty two hectares of such marshy land has already been converted into fishery ponds. The Fish Farming Development Agency, Gurgaon, is providing a grant of Rs 4,000 per hectare for developing a fish pond and an amount of Rs. 20,000 per hectare for improving the existing ponds. An additional amount of Rs.8,000 per hectare is provided as a grant for the purchase of fish-feed. According to Deputy Commissioner Krishan Kumar, various village Panchayats have earned a total income of Rs 61.15 lakh this year in the Mewat area. The panchayats of various villages, which were not able to generate funds even to maintain the drains and streets, are now busy in brick lining the kutcha roads and taking up other development projects with this income. Malab village leading the other villages in the development projects the Malab panchayat has already earned Rs. 681 lakh from the fisheries while Indana, Hudoli, Gulalta, Uleta, Dehana, Kirawla, Alawapur, Baissi and Bhaidan panchayats have earned an income ranging from Rs.150 lakh to Rs.375 lakh. A total of 51,000 persons are receiving a pension of Rs.63 lakh per month as Old Age, Disabled and Widow Pension before the 7th of every month. Deputy Commissioner Krishan Kumar claimed that the pension was delivered at the doorstep of the beneficiary on 7th of every month. A total pension of Rs.46.3 lakh is distributed among 46976 old persons, Rs. 15.33 lakh among 15,760 widows, Rs. 2.19 lakh among 2196 handicapped every month. After the indroduction of
the scheme, an amount of Rs.5.23 crore has been
distributed among old persons while an amount of Rs. 1.66
crore has been distributed among the widows and an amount
of Rs.23 lakh among the disable. Besides this, under the
social welfare scheme, the Department of social welfare
is providing a student scholarship of Rs.100 to Rs. 250 a
month to as many as 177 handicapped students. The
government is also providing a grant of Rs.25,000 to such
handicapped students if they decide to start their own
business after completing their studies. |
