The SDM East would now have his office where the offices of the CTU were located adjacent to the CTU workshop in Industrial Area Phase I. The SDM South would function from the Sports Complex in Sector 42. To take care of visitors in the east division, a separate entry would be created, said the UT Home Secretary, Mr Raminder Singh Gujral, who passed the orders today. The offices would function like any other sub-divisional offices in the states. It had been a long standing demand of city residents that the SDMs sit in their respective areas for easy public access and deal with all schemes of the Administration under various departments. Mr Gujral said the work of licensing and registration of vehicles would be shifted by April 1, next. Till then, the contract with Tata Infotech for issuing smart cards on behalf of the Administration would have to be re-negotiated. The computer links interlinking the three subdivisions would have to be in place. The Deputy Commissioner, Mr M. Ramsekhar had been asked to post new staff from among those 133 employees who had been rendered surplus in the printing and stationery department, the Home Secretary added. Money had been sanctioned to immediately purchase the required furniture. Officials of the Administration were keen on these offices doing well and meeting the aspirations of the residents. This would lessen the load of visitors to the DC office. The police had to bring the accused all the way to Sector 17 in cases where bail had to be granted. Parking was a major hassle here. |

Protest against PUDA
action SAS Nagar, October 31 A complaint was given to the SHO in writing in which they demanded the registration of a case against the PUDA officials concerned. In the complaint they alleged that PUDA officials had not bothered about the High Court stay orders and had demolished houses in the area and also injured some residents of the village. At last six persons including PUDA officials and police personnel, were injured yesterday when residents of Mandanpur village turned violent and started pelting stones at the PUDA anti-encroachment staff. Ms Daljit Kaur, MLA Kharar, who was also present at the police station, criticised yesterday’s PUDA action. She said PUDA officials should have identified the houses which were covered under the stay orders in advance and intimated the residents that the remaining structures would be demolished. Mr Rajinder Singh Sohal, SHO of the Phase I police station, told the people who had gathered there to get a medical examination done of the injured persons. When asked what action would be taken by the police on the complaint given by residents of Madanpur village, he said it would be decided after the medical reports of the injured persons were provided. On the complaint of PUDA authorities a case had been registered yesterday by the police against 20-25 residents of Madanpur village under Section 353, 186, 148 and 149 of the IPC. |

...but the drive goes on SAS Nagar, October 31 The drive, which started around 11.30 a.m., covered the entire Phase IIIA and many parts of Phase IIIB1. The drive was going on even after 5 p.m., with one team covering 10 marla houses and the other eight marla houses. A large number of people were out on the roads watching the bulldozers at work. PUDA officials said that no major violation had been noticed in the area covered today. Most of the people had themselves removed the encroachments. At most places, PUDA had to remove only tow walls. Mr Arvinder Singh Bedi, a resident of Phase IIIB1, said since PUDA had got the encroachments removed, it should now make efforts to keep the area clean. He said in his area 99 per cent of the people had removed the encroachments. Only small bits and parts here and there were left since no clear guidelines were available. The two teams of PUDA carrying out the anti-encroachment drive were Yesterday, the anti-encroachment staff had a tough time as residents of Madanpura clashed with PUDA officials and pelted stones at them. At least six persons, including PUDA officials, police personnel and villagers were injured. Today the anti-encroachment teams started their work from Phase IIIA. Madanpur village was not touched today. It is learnt that the land acquisition collector had to identify the 61 structures in the village which had been granted stay orders. Further action would be taken only after that exercise was completed. |

F&CC’s no to ‘lavish’ function Chandigarh, October 31 The decision of the F&CC also clouded the holding of another function of the Mayor, Ms Harjinder Kaur, to dedicate the Sector-45 community centre with the Committee putting a rider of the three donors — the Councillor, Mr Bachan Singh, former MP, Mr Satyapal Jain, the MP, Mr Pawan Bansal — giving a written consent for the function. The written consent of the three may be doubtful in the wake of Central Government directing that there was no need of spending on functions to dedicate facilities created out of MPs and Councillors fund. The two official functions were to incur an expenditure of Rs 37,000 each, which the BJP Councillor and F&CC member, Ms. Ranjana Shahi, singularly stalled in the meeting saying the “cash-starved Corporation need not be burdened with non-developmental expenditures and it should be spent on development.” She also proposed the condition of three written consents virtually killing the possibility of the Corporation having to spend on these functions. The opposition by a BJP member is being seen as continuing fissures in both the BJP and Akali Dal with there being visible alliances in factions of the BJP and Akalis apart from official understanding. Ms Harjinder Kaur is likely to invite the SAD general secretary and the Union Minister, Mr Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, for the function, party sources said. Mr Dhindsa is also incharge of Chandigarh affairs of the SAD. The effort of a faction of the BJP not to make these official functions will deprive Mr Dhindsa of getting his name inscribed on the foundation stone weakening Ms Harjinder Kaur’s position before him and lessening the possibilities of her faction cornering a big chunk of party tickets in Corporation elections and strengthening her rival and local SAD president, Mr Gurpartap Singh Riar. The consent of the Congress MP, Mr Pawan Bansal, became impossible as the party general secretary, Mr Subhash Chawla, communicated to the Municipal Commissioner, Mr M.P. Singh, that the MP did not favour Corporation expenditure for dedication of such facilities. A delegation of the Congress led by Mr. Chawla also The F&CC, however, cleared Rs 10.25 lakh for computerisation of nine of the 19 cash collection centres. The committee also decided that rates of commercial spaces in sectors should again be given a trial before thinking of slashing them and that rates for such spaces in Mauli Jagran should be reduced. It also allowed refund of Rs 44, 763 to Dhillon Theatre in Mani Majra for surrendering a parking space and rent out 32,000 square feet of land in Mani Majra for six months to Zee telefilms. |

Afforestation efforts yield
results Panchkula, October 31 According to information, a total of 20, 56, 678 saplings have been planted in the district during July and August. This is perhaps for the first time that the departments entrusted with the job of planting saplings have also been asked to keep tabs on their proper growth, which is the reason for the success of this afforestation programme. A visit to forest areas in the Morni-Pinjore Forest Division and the forest area assigned under the Kandi project here showed the saplings of bamboo, teak, amaltas, khair etc planted a few months ago had now turned into plants. In each of the forests — be it in the area under the Kandi project, the reserve or protected forest area — the authorities have marked the rows and the number of sapling in each row. In some places, where a natural water source is available, the saplings are also watered regularly, informed Mr Ved Prakash, Divisional Forest Officer, Morni-Pinjore Forest Division. The plantation was carried under six departmental schemes and four free supply schemes. The Morni-Pinjore Forest Division, the DFO Kandi Project, the Specialist Soil Conservation Engineering, the Social Forestry Project, the Farm Forestry, the Community Forest Project, the Haryana Urban Development Authority and the District Horticulture Officer were involved in the drive under the departmental schemes. As many as 2. 37 lakhs saplings were distributed free of cost by the Morni- Pinjore Forest Division, the Social Forestry Project, the Community Forestry Project and plantation under the Tarun Treveni Scheme (planting of trees on private lands in memory of any occasion). These plantings were done on panchayat lands in over 40 villages (294. 5 hectares area) and on private lands that are non-arable (approximately 400 hectares.) It is worthwhile to mention here that the saplings were raised in 26 nurseries in the district and the type was chosen keeping in view the environmental factors, including soil type in the area. While the plantings under the departmental schemes are mainly forest trees and medicinal plants, those under the free supply schemes were mainly fruit trees. Deputy Commissioner, Ms Jyoti Arora, when contacted, said, “We had divided the entire district in 54 beats and a senior district official was made in charge of a beat comprising four to five villages. This made them accountable for the plantings in their areas and ensured that drive was a success.” |

Six lions undergo vasectomy
operations Chhat Bir, October 31 The operation theatre was set up in a tent right in front of the enclosures of the Lion Safari, the ‘‘royal patients’’ were operated upon by a team of veterinary doctors headed by Prof S.S. Singh, from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The team of veterinary doctors was quick enough today to perform the operations upon six lions within a span of four and a half hours. Tranquilised shots to the lions were given by Mr Ram Dev, a veterinary pharmacist. It may be recalled that the same veterinary pharmacist had given over dose of tranquiliser to a rambling male sambhar on October 11 as a result of which the animal had died on October 14. The mute was tranquilised in violation of the guidelines of the Veterinary Council of India’s Act. The same process of tranquilising the animal, in violation of the guidelines of the Veterinary Council of India’s Act, was repeated here today. The Act states that only a qualified veterinary doctor is entitled to use the tranquilising drug. Mr M.P. Rai, Chief Wildlife Warden, Punjab, said Mr Ram Dev has been working with the zoo for the past over 15 years and was quite skilled to tranquilise animals. Mr Luna said the six lions had regained consciousness when they were released in the enclosures. They were being given antibiotic and antiseptic vaccines. He said the lions would be released in the Lion Safari within a month or as directed by the doctors. After the vasectomy operations of six lions today, the number of sterilised lions in the zoo has increased to nine. The other seven animals which have been kept in houses are yet to be vasectomied. Though the Zoo authorities had launched a vasectomy drive on a large scale yet a lioness delivered a litter of three cubs here this morning. The lioness gave birth to the three cubs just an hour before the six adult lions were to undergo vasectomy. According to veterinary experts the gestation period of a lion is 100 to 120 days. It may be recalled that the Zoo authorities had separated the adult lions from the lionesses in the first week of August and since then the lions have been kept in house. Interestingly, yet the lioness delivered three cubs successfully Zoo Director, R.K. Luna, expressed his ignorance over the arrival of new ‘‘royal inhabitants’’. He, however, said the lioness might had mated before her partner was caged in the house. Meanwhile, the female leopard which had died yesterday, was cremated after conducting post-mortem examination in zoo premises today. Dr V.K. Bhalla, a veterinary doctor in Chhat village conducted the post-mortem examination. |

For this, we have been studying the latest fashion trends in Indian and overseas markets. We visited the top centres of excellence in fashion in India like NIFT and renowned studios in Delhi and Mumbai. We also visited the European markets, especially London and Paris, where we inspected the stores of world class labels like Donna Karan, Gucci, Versace and Armani to study styling in depth. For the last two years, we studied and prepared ourselves for fulfilling the long-standing demands of the fashion conscious people of City Beautiful and around. Today we feel proud in presenting Chandigarh’s only designer label”. “The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are but on how happy others can be because of you”, said Sukarma in a talk with TNS here today. “Therefore, I wish to create designs to make people feel good from inside which will in turn make them look good outside”, she said. Sukarma’s ensembles include Indo-westerns, concept sarees, concept suits and bridal wear, personally handpicked gorgeous hand-woven silks, tussars and brocades .
