Inspector, SI suspended for gambler nexus Ghaziabad, December 5 Mr Arun Kumar, Deputy Inspector-General of police, Meerut Range, has ordered the suspension. He has also ordered the removal of Indirapuram police station incharge P K Singh. The kingpin of the gang of stock speculators was sent to jail, though he obtained the bail later. The DIG has asked the SP (Traffic) Ghaziabad, Mr Krishen, to conduct a departmental inquiry into the matter. The DIG said that the gamblers were paying Rs 60,000 to Modinagar police every month for the illegal activity. They were also paying a specific monthly amount to the Govindpuri police post incharge. The official has been placed under suspension on the basis of specific information obtained by the DIG in this connection. Mr Arun Kumar said that the special raiding team sent by him had not come across any proof that Indirapuram police were also involved in receiving illegal gratification from the stock speculators. It was shameful, he said, that the stock gamblers and speculators were indulging in all this under the nose of the police in Ghaziabad. Mr P K Singh has not been suspended as Indirapuram police’s relation with stock speculators could not be proved. He has just been removed from Indirapuram since he could not control the speculative gambling. On receipt of the information about the speculative gambling in area under Modinagar and Ghaziabad police stations, DIG Arun Kumar had ordered raids in Bramhapuri police area. Four accused were arrested in this raid. The police sniffed out the gambling dons of Modinagar and Indirapuram police station areas. Raids were subsequently conducted in Dramhapuri police station area, Mohalla Harsukhpuri under Govindpuri police post of Modinagar and in Vaishali Colony under Indirapuram police station area of Ghaziabad. |

Haryana co
in the dock for damaging telecom cables Rohtak, December 5 Haryana Cybernet was engaged by Reliance for laying the cables between Bahadurgarh and Rohtak. While laying the cables, Haryana Cybernet allegedly damaged the underground cables of the Telecom Department near Ashoka Cinema Chowk. The General Manager, BSNL, Rohtak Telecom District, Mr Suresh Bhargava, today told Presspersons that he was planning to file a civil suit against Haryana Cybernet to recover the damages. Mr Bhargava said that he plans to provide over 25,000 new telephone connections by increasing the capacity of the exchanges. He plans to make phones available on demand in all major towns covered by the Rohtak telecom district. He said that the aim was to bring the entire telecom district network under optical fibre cable in the current financial year, so that there is 100 per cent media connectivity. Fifteen new exchanges, including 13 in the rural areas, are proposed to be opened in the current financial year. All these exchanges will be on optical fibre cable. Mr Bhargava disclosed that two new exchanges would be opened in Rohtak City; these exchanges would be in Model Town and Shivaji Colony. He said that five main C-DOT exchanges, each of 2000-line capacity, were being installed at Sampla, Kalanaur, Bawani-Khera, Tosham and Loharu. A main exchange of 6000 lines was proposed at Sector 2 and 3 in Rohtak City, and this will replace the existing one operational at Ambedkar chowk. Since April, the capacity of 31 exchanges in rural areas and three exchanges in urban areas has been augmented by 7246 lines, taking the total capacity to 1,28,828 lines. The district has also provided 13186 net telephone connections, thereby taking the total working connections to 1,05,075. The Intelligent Network (IN) services have been extended to subscribers of all exchanges in Rohtak, Bhiwani, Jhajjar, Bahadurgarh, Charkhi Dadri and Meham. Mr Bhargava said that the new edition of English Telephone directory was under print and would be made available to subscribers in January next. |

Corporate
honchos take time off to discuss cricket New Delhi, December 5 Far from the madding crowd in Mohali, where the English and Indian cricket teams are slugging it out, the glittering Taj Palace hotel in the Capital was host to the India Economic Summit of the World economic forum. Obviously bored of the economic jargon, a top industrialist, after exiting from one such brainstorming session, announced what sounded to the uninitiated like a brilliant piece of corporate strategy: “It’s time for some cricket now”. Acting, as if on cue, the organisers had already installed television sets, just in case somebody wanted to catch the latest on the match. The industrialist’s call was well heeded: In what can be dubbed a herd instinct of the primeval kind, corporate bigwigs, attired in their snazziest of suits, made the beeline for the TV sets. Then followed a brainstorming session devoted entirely to the nitty-gritty of the cricket match, but steeped in business argot. “We should notch up at least 500 runs, so that we have enough runs in the kitty and then go for the kill over the next two days”, said one banker smacking his lips, as if deep in thought over a financial killing in the securities market. Soon, other corporate delegates converged at the site, putting the attendance in the VIP enclosure at the Mohali stadium to shame, dropping nuggets of wisdom that would make the cricket experts on DD: Wisden panel blush. “I think we are scoring a bit too slowly. More aggression is required as you never know when the downslide (read recession) might start”, said another industry captain emerging out of a discussion. There were, however, different opinions on the nature of the Mohali wicket. While some thought it might turn (not round the corner) from the second day, others thought it was placid wicket with batsmen-friendly characteristics. Others preferred to delve deeper into the finer nuances of cricketing tactics. “The Mohali wicket is the greenest in the country. I wonder why Zaheer Khan, the fastest bowler available, was not picked up. Consistency of policy is the need of the hour and we should invest more in scouting talent (a la human resource management). A piecemeal approach would not do and results should be expected only after a few years”, said one of the delegates. But why was India performing so poorly abroad, somebody asked. “ Oh, its not a level-playing field,” pat came the reply. Alas! The same old story of an un-competitive Indian industry, which is getting flabbier by the day owing to molly-coddling by the government. For the cricket team, though, the issues are different. Moreover, the game is settled in the ground, not in the boardroom or the marketplace. |

Youth denied drink, attack hotel owner Ghaziabad, December 5 The provocation for the attack was reportedly the refusal of the restaurant management to oblige the youth who wanted glasses to consume liquor in the premises. The local youths have been named in the FIR while the police have registered a case against eight persons. At about 10.30 pm, four youth walked into the restaurant and asked the owner, Sajjan Kumar, for glasses. When Mr Kumar refused to give glasses, contending that drinking was not allowed in the premises, an argument ensued between the visitors and the staff. The youths left the place, only to return soon, armed with swords. The intruders straightway attacked Kumar. When a customer, Jagdish, came to his help, he was also attacked and seriously injured on the head, arm and back. When Sajjan’s son, Chhotu, intervened, he, too, was attacked and seriously injured. All the injured were rushed to district hospital. Sajjan Kumar (60) is reported to be serious. None of the accused has been arrested so far. S.O. Incharge, Vijay Nagar police station, A P Bhardwaj, however, said that Sajjan Kumar and his son Sanjay were not attacked with swords, but with lathis and spades and this was just a minor scuffle. |

Rs 4 crore pending in power bills Faridabad, December 5 Although the department had announced waiver of surcharge on such bills, the move has not yielded the desired results. Under the surcharge waiver scheme, the consumers had been asked to deposit the original amount, but less than 500 consumer came forward to avail the benefit. About 4000 consumers of the sub division are in the defaulter list. It is reported that only those persons came forward to clear their pending bills who wanted to obtain a `no dues’ certificate from the power department. The State Government has made it compulsory for consumers to obtain a `no dues’ certificate from the electricity board for the purpose of getting land or property registered and even when applying for a loan. The state government has gone into an overdrive to arrest the heavy defaults on payment of power bills. |

CM announces
five new welfare schemes New Delhi, December 5 Releasing the Bhagidari “citizen – government partnership” documentation at the India Habitat Centre, Ms Dikshit said, “Reforms in hospital management and appointment of visitors’ committees for government schools would constitute the five-point programme that also includes anti-littering and anti-plastic bag campaign; water conservation and water harvesting; and a special scheme for the welfare of senior citizens.” To make the Bhagidari movement more interactive and productive, the government had also drafted three financial schemes for Bhagidars: rainwater harvesting, printing of newsletters, and environment related activities. Also on the anvil, she said, was a special health care scheme for women. The scheme would not only provide for health education but also render necessary counselling, health check-ups, diagnostic facilities, referral services, follow-up treatment and availability of medicines in the 500 dispensaries and 130 hospitals of the Government of NCT of Delhi. A Gender Resources Centre was also planned in the nine districts and starting of a Women Co-operative Bank for making loan facility available at low interest rates. Such infrastructure facilities focussing on women, she added, would help promote self-help groups and micro enterprise. The Chief Minister said that the Bhagidari movement had reached a level of success and now resident welfare associations should act as a peoples’ pressure group in various departments. “You should also actively participate in all actions of government that directly or indirectly affect you,” she told the gathering. “You are the eyes and ears of the government. I request you all to give feedback of various schemes of the government in your areas as to how they are being implemented,” she added. Appealing the resident welfare associations to act as a watch group for instilling a sense of belonging in the peoples’ representatives and officers, Ms Dikshit said that since they were a cohesive group of 500 associations they should have informal consultations amongst themselves to formulate a common action plan such that the Bhagidari movement could be carried forward “away from the hands of the government and into the Bhagidars hands.” On the occasion, the Chief Minister also released the Bhagidari working Report of phase I, which is to be circulated to all the resident welfare associations as well as government departments besides Union Government. And she also released the inaugural issue of the Bhagidari Masik Patrika, a monthly newsletter dedicated to Bhagidari. |

DSGMC flays Cong double-speak New Delhi, December 5 The party had voiced for the deletion of the objectionable portions in Delhi Assembly and in the Parliament has joined hands with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to retain religiously insulting contents in textbooks, he told newspersons here on Wednesday. Mr Hit said, “ It’s utterly absurd that on the one hand the Congress government in Delhi has adopted a resolution against Prof. Satish Chandra’s Medieval India, but on the other it is lending support to Left parties that want to retain religiously insulting contents in the Class XI textbook.” Threatening to launch an agitation in case no action was taken against the author soon, the DSGMC president demanded an immediate removal of the entire chapter on the Sikhs in the controversial textbook. The history book has been criticised by a section of the community as it contains denigrating remarks about the Sikh Gurus. The author has denied the allegation. The CBSE has directed the school not to teach the objectionable portions and asked the schools not to ask questions from those sections. The new NCERT textbooks being written by authors, whose names have not been disclosed, would not contain anything, which would hurt the sentiments of any religious community, the government had stated. |

Pedestrians just
walk over subways in the Capital New Delhi, December 5 An old saying holds true: “As a rule, a man is a fool. When it’s hot, he wants it cold, when it’s cold, he wants it hot, always wanting what is not.” Take the case of subways in Delhi. Most of them remain isolated throughout the day. At almost every major crossing in the Capital there are subways, yet you would find people jumping railings on the roads and running to reach the other end. “It is so irritating,” said Ravi Chhabra, a businessman, who drives through the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) crossing every day to reach his office in Connaught Place. “There is a subway at the AIIMS crossing. These people (pedestrians) just won’t use it. In fact, even after the subway was constructed a couple of years ago, they still broke a hole in the railing on the divider to get through it. They just don’t want to climb up and down the subway. We all have a habit of doing things the easy way and in the process make life tough for others. And then if there is an accident, only the person sitting in a car is blamed,” an agitated Mr Chhabra reacted. Probably the only subways that are used are the ones in the Connaught Place circle, where crossing the road is virtually impossible because of the flow of traffic. Even then, there are people who try their best not to go through with that little extra work to walk through the subway. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Commissioner, S.P. Aggarwal told the NCR Tribune: “We Indians have a habit of cribbing for things that are not there. But we will never use what is there because people just cannot be bothered about the law. We get a thrill in doing things differently.” Mr Aggarwal said the citizens always have enough excuses to blame the city government and authorities for all sorts of problems like traffic, encroachments and what not, but the “fact of the matter is that they are not really bothered about any problems, they just want excuses to shift the blame.” Mr Aggarwal said the MCD went “on a spree” to build subways so that crossing roads would become easier for the pedestrians as well as helping the flow of traffic, but just a look at the subways revealed the “lack of education” in the country. “The subway would be just 10 yards away from him (pedestrian) but he will still try to dodge vehicles on the road to touch the other end. Will he use the subway? No, he won’t,” Mr Aggarwal said. “We are making a lot more subways, just in the hope that people will realise their use.” The MCD Commissioner’s statement proved so true when, Prakash, who had brought his brother to the AIIMS hospital for a check-up, stood on the main road trying to dodge the city buses to cross the road, with the subway right behind him. “I don’t have that much time to go down and come up. What is the problem if I cross the road like everybody else does it?” he replied. Gomti, another pedestrian at the crossing said she never went through the subways because they were extremely dirty and dark, which made them dangerous as well. “It is scary. There are no lights down there. It stinks and what if someone robs me, or kills me. I can’t even scream out to help because it is so isolated.” The only reason the city subways are dirty and dark, an MCD official said, was because they were not being used. “All the lights in the AIIMS, INA and many other subways have been stolen. Obviously, what else do you expect? The thieves know that no one comes inside the subways. And the reason they are dirty because there is no motivation for the karamcharis to clean them. When they know no one would enter inside, why would they clean it?” Apart from the “disgusting sight” of pedestrians running haywire on the city roads with subways at the stretch of their hand, there is another problem that has risen, this one inside the subways. In the hope of doing good business, after looking at subways in Connaught Place, shopkeepers opened their shops inside many other subways in Delhi only to fall flat on their faces. Sanjay Gupta, a shop owner inside the AIIMS subway said he had made the biggest mistake of his life to expect good business from there. “I regret opening my shop here. When I was allotted a shop under this subway, I was very happy because I had seen so many people using the subway in the Connaught Place and had great hope of making good money. However, no one comes here,” he cried. Moreover, because of the isolation many subways in the city have become a hub of anti-social elements like drug peddlers and illegal alcohol sellers. Most of them have made the subways their home and use them for sleeping and “all sorts of illegal activities.” An Assistant Commissioner of Police, also gave the same reason that “when places remain isolated, they naturally become a place for illegal activities for goons.” The official said though the police are doing their bit to regularly patrol the subways, the people must use them for crossing roads. “The minute people realise this and start going through subways, all illegal activities will automatically stop,” the official said |

Sitting ducks
for nimble fingers Sonepat, December 5 In fact, the police accord top priority to this crime. Most of the crimes committed were either pickpocketing or luggage-lifting besides chain-snatching and these crimes bothered the police a lot. The criminals take advantage of crowds thronging the railway station and the bus stand in the last-minute rush to board or get down from trains and buses. They wait and strike when the passenger is already tense with the process of embarking upon or ending his journey. They decamp with precious luggage and pickpockets in the melee. By the time, the passenger comes to know he has been looted, it is too late. Many professional luggage-lifters board the train or the bus from a station or stop earlier and get down with other passengers at the Sonepat railway station or the bus stand. They jostle about and exploit the confusion. Surely, many passengers must have undergone such a nightmare. Another common crime committed at the railway station or the bus stand is chain-snatching. The miscreants wait till the train or a bus picks up speed and chugs out of the railway station or the bus stand. The snatchers pounce and snatch necklaces and ear-rings from women sitting next to the window. Sometimes, serious injuries are also caused in the process. Though the police have taken certain measures to curb the menace but the activities of these anti-social elements remain unchecked. Fights amongst the passengers are the main cause of the nuisance. The arguments sometimes lead to serious fights and even attempt to murder. Fight normally breaks out for seats and the police have to intervene to prevent them from graduating into serious crime. Vagabonds and beggars are routinely picked up by the police. The boundaries of the railway station are breached with impunity and the railway authorities have not taken adequate steps to check this. The vagabonds stray into the railway stations for shelter and the police regularly round them up and send them to lock-up. Jail sentences are also passed, but it does not deter the vagabonds. |
