2 cops
face inquiry, 1 suspended CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — The Police Department has ordered an inquiry against two inspectors and an ASI has been suspended for their role in allegedly serving sub standard food to police personnel on election duty. The UT IGP, Mr S.K. Singh, ordered the inquiry following a preliminary report into the episode which held that the three had in connivance with a private contractor not only served poor quality food but also served it very late to the personnel. Mr Balbir Singh, SP, Traffic, has been appointed the inquiry officer. The officials named in the report are Inspector Raj Kumar, Quarter Master Daljit Singh, Reserve Inspector and ASI Ram Parkash, canteen in charge. All are posted in the Sector 26 police lines. During the parliamentary election, they had been entrusted with the arrangements to serve food to 3,000 personnel on duty at 640 polling booths — dinner on September 4, besides breakfast and lunch on election day. The home guards and NCC cadets on duty too were to be fed by the police. A sum of Rs 2. 80 lakh, Rs 70 per head, was estimated to be incurred in the exercise. The food was to be prepared in the police lines canteen and dispatched to the polling stations directly or the police stations. A menu in this regard was fixed by senior officers and in view of previous experiences, it was directed that the meal, whether dinner, breakfast or lunch, would reach the person within one hour. In case of any delays, the area SHOs had been asked to make the food available. Police sources said that the three cops reportedly connived with a private contractor, pocketed a part of the sanctioned money by showing enhanced rates of food stuff, prepared the food items without following the menu and gave the standards of preparation a go-by. The time schedule was also not followed, as a result of which the food reached late at almost every place. The quantity too was found to be less a some places. This was resented by the staff on duty who had to put in 30 to 40 hours of duty without getting their food on time. At many places, the cops had to make their own arrangements, which was difficult as they could not abandon their area of duty. Senior officers took
serious view of the lapse and an inquiry was ordered. Cop suspended for carrying drugs CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — A constable of the local police has been suspended, following his arrest by the Haryana police for allegedly carrying eight kilograms of poppy husk and being in possession of his service revolver while not on duty. He is posted at the central police station. The UT IGP, Mr S.K. Singh, suspended constable Paramjeet Singh, following a report in the newspapers regarding his arrest from Panjokhra Sahib in the Ambala district along with two others. His whereabouts were verified prior to this and it was found that he had been missing from duty along with the weapon since October 20. According to local police sources, their Haryana counterparts had specific information that some persons travelling in a car to Ambala were carrying drugs. At a 'naka', the car was signalled to stop and a search of the car revealed the poppy husk in a bag. The car was being driven by Dharam Pal, while his wife Krishna was sitting at the front seat. Police sources said that the IGP had taken a serious note of the matter and strict action would be taken when a report from the Haryana police was received. The constable and his
accomplices have been booked under Section 21 of the NDPS
Act, while further investigations were underway. |
Little
impact of stir on prices CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — Even as the supplies of most of goods in the city and surrounding areas have been close to normal, the fallout of the truckers' strike has been a steep rise in the price of onion due to non-arrival of the vegetable in the market today. There has been little impact on the prices of most vegetables so far as old stocks have yet to be exhausted and the supplies booked on or before October 20, the day truckers decided to go off the road, are pouring in. "The supplies of most of vegetables and fruit have remained almost normal so far, except for onion. There has been no change in prices of most of vegetables since crop was good this year," said Mr Digvijay Kapoor, Secretary of the local Sabji Mandi Arhtiya Association. Inquiries with traders revealed that the effect of strike has started casting its shadow on the arrivals as no truck came to the local market from Delhi today. "The market used to receive about six trucks of vegetables and fruit, but no truck has arrived so far from Delhi so far," they said, adding that the wholesale price of onion has jumped from Rs 300 to Rs 400 per 40 kg on this account. There was however, a slight hike in the retail market as a kg of onion could be had today for Rs 15. "The actual impact of the strike would be felt after two days when the old stocks exhaust," they said. Big traders of onion, who control the onion price from Nasik, it is learnt, have started advising local wholesalers against clearing their stocks till further, "instructions" as they feel that if the strike is prolonged for more than a week, would be a boom for them. "They are expecting to sell onions at double the price — ranging between Rs 500 and Rs 600 per 40 kg, especially as they are visualising a rise in demand during the ongoing festive season," said Mr Harvinder Bajaj, a wholesale trader. Inquiries with the local Market Committee revealed a sharp decline in onion arrivals. If the market received 2,065 onion bags on October 19, the number trickled down to just 491 bags today. Same was the case with peas as from 67 bags (each containing 50 kg) the arrivals dropped to just 5 bags today. Interestingly, the market received more potatoes today as the number of bags jumped from 499 bags (80 kg each) on October 19 to 668 bags today. The prices and arrivals of most vegetables have remained stable as these are transported from nearby villages to the city with the help of rehras and tractor trailers. On the other hand, the market remained flooded with fruit on the second day of the strike, mainly due to the existing stocks, "There is no change in the price of apple as you can get most of its varieties at the lowest prices ranging between Rs 80 and Rs 300 per 17 kg pack," said Mr Kapoor, a wholesaler, adding that one of reasons of low and stable prices was there was no buyer in the market. Meanwhile, during a
round of the city shopping centres and surrounding areas,
it was observed that the consumer had adopted a cautious
approach and was far from expressing a panicky reaction
towards the situation. Mr P.K. Bosh, a consumer at the
Sector 26 market, saw no reason for panic buying as the
phase seemed to be a temporary one, he said. Same was the
scene at a Sector 44 gas agency. There was no queue at
the gas agency, with its officials claiming to have a
normal supply. Similarly, most of electrical gadget
traders in Sector 22 said there was no visible impact of
the strike since they were already 'over-stocked' with
companies having dumped their products to earn maximum
profit during the festive season. |
Supply of
commodities disrupted CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — Even as truckers' strike entered its second day, supply of certain essential commodities was disrupted in the city today. With the city virtually getting no supplies from faraway places, residents started feeling the pinch as the prices of vegetables and fruits went up. The vegetable supply from nearby areas was not affected as farmers brought these on tractor-trailers and animal-driven carts. Traders at the Sector 26 vegetable market said their stocks were sufficient only for a day or two. "With only one truck from Delhi reaching the city today, stocks are fast running out. Prices of most vegetables and fruits registered an increase of 25 to30 per cent," said Mr Om Parkash Chawla. The transport yard, which was usually a hub of activity, wore a deserted look with most of the offices remaining closed and trucks parked at every available space. No bookings were made and a few trucks touched the city. There was normal diesel and petrol supply from bulk depots in Ambala as tankers of oil companies and petrol station owners were not off the road. No panic buying of the petro-products was reported. Traders and industrialists said as the festival season was on, there might be shortage of essential commodities if the strike was prolonged. SAS NAGAR: Although the consumers in the township have yet to feel the pinch because of the normal supply of essential commodities, trucks remained off the road on the second day of the nationwide transporters' strike here on Friday. The worst affected by the strike were the big industrial units here which manufactured consumer durables. Fear of attacks by striking transporters has compelled the industrial houses from sending their goods to destinations in the country, an entrepreneur said. Security arrangements made by the district administration for the smooth transportation of essential commodities notwithstanding, local trucks union has opted not to ply their vehicles. A spokesman of the local LCV Operators Union said they were forced to go on strike after five of their vehicles were seized by agitating transporters at Delhi. The Superintendent of
Police, SAS Nagar, Mr B.S. Randhawa, said instructions
had been received to prevent road blockade by truckers,
and ensure smooth flow of traffic. |
Delimitation
board meeting adjourned SAS NAGAR, Oct 22 — The first meeting of the special board constituted by the Local Government Department to initiate the process of delimitation of wards of the local municipal council was today adjourned till November 5, without taking any decision. The meeting had been postponed earlier by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Mr O.P. Popli, who was Chairman of the Delimitation Board on behalf of the Deputy Commissioner of Ropar. The other members of the board who attended the meeting were the local MLA, Ms Daljeet Kaur, the Executive Officer of the council, Mr Yash Goyal, the President of the council, Mr H.S. Billa, five municipal councillors — Mr Gyan Chand Aggarwal, Ms Indu Sehgal, Mr Phool Raj Singh, Ms Baljit Kaur and Ms Manmohan Kaur, two officials of the Local Government Department and three nominated members. Sources said the meeting was adjourned as the necessary information regarding the old and the new ward-wise population of the council and maps showing the demarcation of the areas included in each ward had not been provided by the Local Government Department. Also, no information regarding change, if any, about reservation of wards for women, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, had been provided to the members. As per a door-to-door survey conducted by the Local Government Department, the total population in the wards of the council had been shown at around 1.60 lakh, whereas the population of the township and other areas falling within the limits of the council was much more, said a municipal councillor. Sources said the
delimitation of wards and subsequent notification
inviting objections before holding the elections, due in
January next year, was likely to be delayed further.

2 plying
autos on fake numbers held CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — The police has arrested a two members of a gang which used to operate autorickshaws on the registration numbers already allotted to others in the city. According to police sources, Inspector Kultar Singh, SHO, Industrial Area, and and SI Dilsher Singh, in charge of the railway station police post, received information that a gang was plying autorickshaws on the registration numbers allotted to vehicles previously owned by them. Acting on the tip-off, they found that three of the six autorickshaws suspected were plying on identical numbers. The members had also got all documents prepared by claiming to the authorities that the previous documents had been lost. Those arrested include Sidh Nath of Bapu Dham colony and Karamjeet, who owns an auto repair workshop in Zirakpur. The vehicles seized carry the the following numbers — CHV 971, CHV 1224 and CHV 239. More arrests are likely. Sources said the modus operandi of the gang was to either steal the autorickshaws or get some condemned ones, refit them and ply them on numbers already existing. In view of the large number of such vehicles in the city, it was easy to escape detection. A case under Sections 420, 473 and 120-B, IPC, has been registered. While more recoveries
are expected, the accused have been granted police
custody till October 27 by a city court. |
Engineering
seats lying vacant CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — Around 1,500 seats are lying vacant in various private polytechnic institutions of Punjab. Another 300 seats are vacant in seven private engineering colleges of the state. This is despite the combined entrance test (CET) for these seats having been conducted already and students also being available. This claim was made by Dr J.S. Dhaliwal, President of the Punjab Unaided Technical Institutions Association, while addressing mediapersons yesterday. Dr Dhaliwal said that the association had met the Minister of Technical Education, Dr Upinderjeet Kaur. This problem had occurred as there had been a delay in admissions. On the other hand, students of the state have been seeking admissions to colleges outside the state. He said the government should streamline the process of admission, once the first phase of counselling sessions after the CET were over. The association said it
took an investment of around Rs 4 crore to set up an
engineering college. If the seats were not filled up then
the colleges would face closure. The association urged
the government to cut down on the delay.

'Popularity is like cricket
manhattans' PANCHKULA, Oct 22 — "On-screen popularity is identical to the manhattans one witnesses in cricket scores. If you are up one moment, you can even touch the rock bottom at the drop of a hat," said Kanwaljeet Singh, reacting to a question on his being one of the most sought-after TV stars. A 'Saharanpuria' at heart, Kanwaljeet proclaims, "I am rootless and yet belong to every corner of the country. Born in Kanpur, I spent most of my youth in Saharanpur and the place holds special significance. Punjab also belongs to me and I belong to Punjab. None of these can be separated from the identity that makes me." Speaking about his career and entry into serials and plays, he remarks, "Everything in my life has happened by accident. I did not have a tailor-made plan to get into serials. It happened by chance and I accepted it gracefully. Just like any other young man, I was keen on landing up with a good job and standing on my own feet. While sending forms to numerous courses, I sent one such form to the Film and Television Institute of Pune and got selected. Thus began my romance with the small screen." Getting a break with the tele-serial 'Chapte-Chapte', the ball got rolling with 'Buniyaad'. After that there was no turning back. "I am working on a number of serials, one of them being 'Bhabhi Maa' and another being 'Abhimaan', where I play a super cop. Another serial which has touched my heart is 'Khushian', which portrays the father-daughter relationship beautifully," he says. About television and movies corrupting the youth, he says, "When a producer, director, lyricist and musician work out a number and three crore people approve of it, dancing to every beat, we cannot hold them responsible for it. If the public feels it is not in good taste, let them reject it outright and we will see no more of these." He admits candidly that he will ultimately go into production or direction. "When an actor has reached the peak in his career and it cannot get better, the inevitable question of 'what next' crops up. The answer lies in widening horizons and venturing into another related field. If I get an opportunity, I will avail myself of it,'' Kanwaljeet says. He ends on a light note,
expressing apprehensions of being the chief guest at a
school function. "I have faced the lights a number
of times but this is a different ball game. If one child
says 'boo' when I go up on stage, I am gone, finished,
over and out," he opines. |
Children
enact 'Jungle Book' CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — A remarkable performance of Rudyard Kipling's 'Jungle Book' marked the evening at St Kabir School here today. Director George Pulinkala and choreographer Kusumit Sana received crowd appreciation for painting lifelike picture of the tale involving more than 250 students. The story is set in the jungle and is about the life of Mowgli, an abandoned child found and raised by Rama, a she-wolf. The wolf pack sees threat for the child from Sher Khan, the tiger king. Bagheera volunteers to ensure entry of the boy into human civilisation. The rest of the story is all about hindrances. The boy is cornered by Kaa, a python, is captured by a pack of monkeys and faces Sher Khan. The jungle has Col Hathi, leader of the elephant pack, who delights with the story of how he got a bravery medal. Babloo, a bear, delights with his pranks. The stage with multi-entry points went well with the high pace of movements. The dresses and sound were impressive. The show also had a choir for script performances. Akshay Ghorpade as Bagheera, Vijay Subramanium as Babloo and Arush Chopra as Sher Khan performed well. Mrinal Aggrawal and Ananya Jetley as narrator and character of Mowgli also did well. The Principal, Mr J.P.
Singh, said the idea behind the project was to give
students an exposure to professional standards. Such
efforts gave students invaluable experience, he added.
The show was put up as part of the silver jubilee
celebrations of the school. |
School
celebrates annual day PANCHKULA, Oct 22 — A musical extravaganza with special sound and light effects was held at the annual day celebrations of Hansraj Public School, Sector 6, here today. It was like a big party on stage, frequently punctuated by a loud applause from the audience. The programme began with a welcome dance as nimble-footed students presented a blend of bharat natyam and kathak. After this, the show gathered momentum as students rolled out one foot-tapping number after another. The dancing gypsies brought alive the carefree lifestyles one associates with them, to the tune of 'Tujhpe kurbaan meri jaan'. Participants exuded confidence and finesse as they weaved magic for their audience who sat glued to their seats through the entire presentation. The next performance, an aesthetic presentation, conveyed the message of the necessity of preservation of forest wealth, propagating the idea that each one must plant a tree to ensure a better environment. Next was a western dance. Girls danced to the beat of 'Happy boys and girls' and doting boys fell in line with steps to match. Radiating notes of happiness, joy and celebration of life, the boys and girls released balloons in the air to conclude their performance. Patriotism and nationalism reigned supreme as 'Mother India' came on stage. The three forces chanted slogans as the words of 'Vande Mataram' resounded on the school premises. 'Paanch Tatva' was a presentation depicting the five elements, water, air, earth, fire and sky, in their different moods. The 24 orphans adopted by the school, inmates of Bal Sadan, gave a heart-rending performance. Dancing to 'Nanhe-munhon ki hai duniya haseen', the children depicted their plight through the song while trying to give words to their dreams. The finale was a riot of colour as participating students arrived on the scene, followed by teachers. It concluded with the arrival of the Principal and the chief guests as 'Vande Mataram' was played in the background and rockets broke up into multi-coloured sparklers in the sky. The history of the school was presented in an innovative manner. While students talked of holidays and their plans, the building in the background lit up and a deep voice began narrating the sequence of events and the schedule followed by the school. Earlier, the chief guest, Mr Vishnu Bhagwan, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister of Haryana, and Kanwaljeet Singh, accompanied by his wife Anuradha, lit the brass lamp. The Principal, Dr Rajni Thareja, read out the annual school report and 250 students were awarded for excellence in academics, sports and co-curricular activities. A few teachers were honoured. The school souvenir was
also released. The show was choreographed by Mr Sonar
Chand from Kulachi Hansraj School, New Delhi.

Career
options for women discussed CHANDIGARH, Oct 22 — Career options for women and options in various professional fields came up for discussion at a seminar on the inaugural day of the three-day Women's Fiesta '99 at Leisure Valley, Sector 10, here today. The festival also features a quiz, workshops and contests concentrating on women-related issues. It is being presented by the Forum for Women's Issues. Ms Vijaya Pushkarna, a correspondent with a newsmagazine, said women had greater career options in the media as compared to earlier decades. Results clearly indicated that aptitude to meet people in the field was central for success in print media. Others who were less interested in interaction had an option on the desk. Ms Ravneet Kaur, Chairperson of the PSBTEIT, talked about career options for women in civil services. She narrated her experiences in the field and scope for working for nearly 'half of society'. Ms Supriya Gurjar, Flt Lt, reflected on her success story which was an achievement in the world of savers of national borders, largely dominated by men. Women had shown their capability and possibility for young girls in all fields in the unforgiving profession, which showed the exit door on one mistake. Dr Neelam Mann Singh, a theatre personality, citing her struggle story, said hard work had paid off. The field, which reflected the glamorous world on the surface, required hard and sincere work. Ms Savita Bhatti dwelt on various aspects of television production where women had opportunities. Various related fields like costume design, production and dance had scope for women. Ms Marga Burhhman concentrated on career opportunities for women in child education and cited her example. Creation and sustainability of Global Kids Clubs was central to her argument. Ms Sonia Dhami, co-ordinator of the event, while talking to The Tribune, said the event was the first in a series of projects that had come up during talks of the core group of about 10 members. A landscaping professional, she said talks by women from different walks of life served as inspiration for others. The fete was inaugurated
by Ms Rama Chhibber. The venue did not attract crowds
during the early hours of the day. It also provided for
workshops on theatre and craft. The seminar will deal
with the role of NGOs in development in various fields
tomorrow.
