Palwal SDM may be shifted Chandigarh, November 15 The suspension of Mr Icchopujani was necessitated by a provision in the Service Rules, which makes such action mandatory in the case of a government servant who has spent 48 hours in police custody. However, since Mr Paweria has not been arrested by the CBI, the state government has decided to transfer him from the posts he is holding at present. The government is reportedly considering removing Mr Paweria, who is also doubling up as MD of the sugar mill at Palwal, from both posts and giving him some other work involving less public dealing. “The transfer order was held up because of Divali. Now again the Chief Minister as well as the Chief Secretary and the Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister (PSCM) are away to Delhi to attend various programmes, including the Inter-State Council meeting on Friday. So the order may be issued next week only, official sources said. Incidentally, Mr Devinder Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Karnal, whose house, too, was raided by the CBI on the night of November 2 in connection with the same case, has apparently managed to get temporary reprieve from the government. Mr Devinder Singh reportedly wrote to the Chief Secretary as well as the PSCM explaining his position regarding the allegations against him. The Chief Secretary and the PSCM were reportedly satisfied with his explanation and felt that it would not be appropriate to take any action against the Deputy Commissioner at this juncture. Mr Devinder Singh, after the CBI raid, addressed a press conference to tell the media that he was innocent. This aggressive stance of the former student of IIM, Ahmedabad, too, has reportedly worked in his favour. A report by the CBI , sent to the state government here in connection with the raid on Mr Devinder Singh’s place, has been reportedly found inadequate by the government to form any basis for taking action against the IAS officer. In the report, there was no seizure list relating to the raid on Mr Devinder Singh’s place. It only mentioned that some “incriminating” material and excess bottles of liquor were found in his house, a source said. |

DD
Metro centre starts today Ambala,
November 15 According to information, people residing within a radious of 20 km can now enjoy DD Metro programmes without cable connection. Around Rs 80 lakh has been spent on its installation. Initially, the DD Metro low power transmitter was planned to be set up at Ambala Cantt. Union Information Broadcasting Minister Sushma Swaraj had also laid the foundation stone of the centre on September 3 at Ambala Cantt and had announced that the centre would be completed within two months. One of the senior officers of Doordarshan told Chandigarh Tribune here today that the centre had to be shifted to Ambala City as the Air Force authorities refused to issue an NOC to install the centre as the place where the 30-metre-high tower was to be installed, was in the range of flying zone. He said that it was the most powerful DD Metro Relay Centre in the state. In total 17 relay centres of DD1 and DD2 had been set up in Haryana so far, he added.

Killers of neelgai forced to flee Fatehabad, November 15 According to the villagers, seven persons, including four from Jandli village allegedly killed a neelgai on the Jandli-Naduri border. Mr Subhash Bishnoi, a villager, who had gone to his fields to water the crops, first noticed the poachers who were cutting the body of the animal after killing it. When he resisted, the poachers trained their guns on him. But Mr Bishnoi ran to his village and returned with more villagers to the site with arms and ammunition. Seeing the villagers rushing towards them, the poachers fled, leaving the corpse behind. Before fleeing, they fired on the villagers. The villagers too returned fire. No one was, however, injured in cross-fire. Resentment prevails among the Bishnoi community here over the killing of the neelgai. The police has registered a case. |
