Jaypees demand police protection on payment
Reckong Peo, December 4 This project, which is the largest venture in hydel power generation in the country, has been facing wrath of tribal people ever since the Jaypees began construction in December last year. A few local deities have also come out against the project making situation worse for the Jaypees, Mr Arvind Sharda, Superintendent of Police said today the Jaypees have demanded two companies of the police at Karcham and Wangtoo. The administration evaluated expenditure of two companies including the pay and perks of the staff to be deployed and prepared an agreement of terms and conditions of the payment through the Deputy Superintendent of police and the sub-divisional magistrate, here said. The SP added this draft agreement would be forwarded to the authorities concerned of the Jaypees through the district magistrate for signing. Roughly, expenditure of two reserve companies including the pay and perks has been estimated to be at Rs 13 lakh per month, he added. To a question, Sharda said the police in the district was not adequate to face the situation born out of the anguish of tribal people. He said the district administration has also demanded seven companies of the police for law and order. Meanwhile, construction on the mega project remained suspended on the third today as demonstration of tribal people continued both at Karcham and Wangtoo despite inclement weather. Perturbed over the agitation of the tribal people Mr Virbhadra Singh, Chief Minister has asked local MLA Jagat Singh Negi to talk to the agitators and with the local deity of Chagaon village to resolve the issue so that construction could be resumed to avoid cost over-run of the project. |

Employees give memo to pay panel chief
Shimla, December 4 In a memorandum submitted to Mr Justice B.N. Srikrishna, Chairman of the commission, it has pointed out that differences in the salaries of officers and employees have increased due to the fact that the fifth commission allowed 100 per cent neutralisation of inflation in the shape of dearness allowance. It has also drawn the attention of the commission towards the manner in which vacant posts were abolished. The system of ACR should be replaced with performance appraisal for which targets should be fixed on annual basis. A uniform retirement age of 60 years should be fixed for all categories.

Father loses hope of finding son
Kangra December 4 Rajesh Kumar had been moving from pillar to post in search of his son, who was taken by a swami on August 23, 2000, and had gone missing from his ashram, but all his attempts proved futile. A vernacular paper’s news report, that a boy whose name is Sonu was being brought up by Jamunadas of Sanik Colony, Bareilly, had kindled a hope in him. Rajesh Kumar, carrying the press clipping with him, had gone to Bareilly to identify the child. Even the state government had deputed a team of three CID officers for the identification of the boy.
