India rejects Pak denial on incursion
Tata Housing Co says wont go
ahead with project till SC decides
R SEDHURAMAN
LEGAL CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
Tata Housing Development
Company today agreed in the
Supreme Court not to go ahead
with its high-rise buildings proj-
ect near Chandigarhs Sukhna
Lake till further orders as the
SC sought its response within
eight weeks to two petitions
against the proposed construc-
tion of 1,794 residential flats.
A Bench comprising Jus-
tices RM Lodha and Shiva
Kirti Singh also issued notice
to Punjab, Haryana, Chandi-
garh and the Centre asking
them to give their views on the
petitions within eight weeks.
The companys senior coun-
sel Abhishek Singhvi assured
the Bench that his client would
maintain status quo which
the SC recorded in its order.
Justice SS Sodhi (retired)
and 16 others, who had filed
one of the petitions, agreed to
replace their names with Sarin
Memorial Legal Aid Founda-
tion (through Justice Sodhi) as
the petitioner following tech-
nical objections raised by the
company as well as the Bench.
The second petition has been
filed by advocate Alok Jagga,
a resident of Chandigarh who
had approached the Punjab
and Haryana High Court with
a PILon the issue.
The petitioners have chal-
lenged the HCs August 21,
2013 order, giving the green
signal for the Tata project sub-
ject to the company getting all
necessary clearances from the
authorities concerned.
Arguing for the petitioners,
senior counsel PS Patwalia,
Aryaman Sundaram and Ran-
jit Kumar contended that
allowing the project would
destroy Chandigarh and the
fragile ecology of the region,
comprising the Sukhna Lake,
Shivalik Range and Wildlife
Sanctuary.
During the arguments, the
Bench acknowledged that the
matter is extremely signifi-
cant as Chandigarh was one
of the few planned cities in the
country. Rejecting Singhvis
plea for dismissing the peti-
tions, the Bench said these are
matters which should not be
thrown out on technical
grounds. The situation may
become irretrievable if the con-
structions are permitted and
ultimately it is found that they
suffer from some illegalities.
After ascertaining from the
litigants that construction had
not begun yet, the Bench
remarked: Even a brick
should not be laid.
Singhvi said the company
was not in a position to start
work as it was still awaiting
clearances from the Union
Forests and Environment
Ministry and the wildlife
authorities. In fact, the Bench
dictated an order directing the
company to maintain status
quo, but Singhvi got it

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
Determined to dislodge a
band of armed intruders in
J&Ks Keran sector pro-
longed operations against
which entered the 14th day
India on Monday rejected
Pakistans denial issued by
its High Commissioner
Salman Bashir yesterday that
any such intrusion had taken
place from across the border.
New Delhi has made it clear
that its armed forces are deter-
mined to maintain the sanctity
of the Line of Control in the
face of one of the biggest
intrusions in recent years.
Ministry of External Affairs
spokesman Syed Akbaruddin
said New Delhi had repeatedly
emphasised that maintaining
the LoC sanctity was of pri-
mary importance. Our armed
forces are currently undertak-
ing appropriate and necessary
measures...we have full confi-
dence in their abilities to
address challenges posed to
them. We will await the out-
come of their efforts, he said.
New Delhi is upset with
Bashirs statement made in
Hyderabad, describing as
baseless incursions into India
from the Pakistani territory.
New Delhis sharp
response came on a day
when security forces busted a
militant hideout on the out-
skirts of Baramulla district in
J&K and recovered a huge
cache of arms and ammuni-
tion. Also on Monday, Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh
met the Chiefs of the three
Services at his residence and
is believed to have discussed,
among others issues, the
operation to flush out mili-
tants in the Keran sector.
Sources though described the
meeting as a routine.
Asked when the Director
Generals Military
Operations (DGMOs) from
the two sides would meet to
resolve the issue, the MEA
spokesman pointed out that
the two officials usually talk
to each other on the phone
on Tuesdays. The issue of
when they will meet depends
on their talks, he said.
The spokesman referred to
talks between the Prime
Ministers of the countries
recently on the sidelines of
the United Nations General
Assembly over ways to
reduce tension along the LoC.
New Delhi has repeatedly
emphasised that maintaining
the LoC sanctity was of pri-
mary importance. This was
re-emphasised when the two
PMs had met.

SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 7
Nearly 100 militants are
believed to be fighting the
Army in north Kashmirs
Keran sector where they
have made fresh advances
after two weeks of fierce
gunfights. Top sources say
this has added a dangerous
dynamics to the fighting,
which is one of the longest
battle in the region since
the 1999 Kargil war. The
only option now is to use
Air and ground force
together to gain the lost
ground, said a top source.
Earlier it was believed
that there were 30-40 mili-
tants. The sources now
maintain that nearly 100
militants backed by Pak-
istani special forces are
believed to be fighting the
Army inside Indian territo-
ry at multiple points in the
five-km stretch along the
Line of Control in the sec-
tor. Sources said the fierce
gunfight is taking place at
four to five points where
the militants are giving stiff
resistance to the Army.
The gunfight which was
confined between the fence
and the LoC is now taking
place well within our terri-
tory. The way they are
fighting shows that the
supply line of militants is
intact and they are backed
by the Pakistani special
forces, he added.
The sources, however,
said that militants had, in
early September, occupied
the huts in Shalabhato, a
village near the LoC which
was abandoned by the resi-
dents in early 1990s.

Punjab mulls using
panchayat land for
solar energy units
DEVINDER PAL/TNS
CHANDIGARH, OCTOBER 7
The Punjab Government
proposes to amend the Vil-
lage Common Lands (Regu-
lation) Act, 1961, to allow it
the right over panchayat land
(often referred to as sham-
lat land) in the state.
Sources said there was a
proposal to give panchayat
land to private companies
for setting up non-conven-
tional energy (solar) units.
Officials of the Rural Devel-
opment and Panchayats
Department have held meet-
ings with Advocate General
(AG) Ashok Aggarwal on the
issue of bringing amendments
to the Act. The AG has report-
edly asked them to consult the
Legal Remembrancer (LR).
Though the move has the
potential of giving a boost to
the non-conventional energy
efforts of the state government,
it would deprive panchayats of
their main source of income.
Panchayats earn revenue by
giving common land on lease.
Approximately 1.55 lakh acres
of land is owned by panchayats
in the state. It is no secret that
in the past, political leaders and
other influential people have
managed to usurp village com-
mon land for personal gains.
Under the Act, the owner-
ship of village common land
rests with the respective pan-
chayat, which can use it in any
manner it wants. Any indi-
vidual panchayat can also
give its land to the govern-
ment for use by passing a res-
olution to that effect.
Panchayats can give com-
mon land on lease for a max-
imum period of 33 years. The
government cannot interfere
in the use of common land of
any village unless the respec-
tive panchayat has passed a
resolution to that effect.
The panchayat of nearby
Manauli village recently
gave some land on lease
for 33 years, but the Punjab
and Haryana High Court
stayed the lease.
SAD, Congress men
expose each others
murky land deals

CHANDIGARH, OCTOBER 7
Land in Punjab, especially
surrounding Chandigarh, is a
veritable gold mine.
Little wonder that politi-
cians across the political
spectrum and having enough
cash reserves have for
long been involved in realty
business. It now appears that
many of the land deals by
these politicians have not
been above board. From
undervaluation of land to get-
ting it registered as agricul-
tural or barren land, so as to
evade paying higher stamp
duty, these politician real-
tors are seemingly involved
in several murky land deals.
The expos on these land
deals was brought out by
Congress spokesperson Sukh-
pal Singh Khaira.
Though his target in the
expos was the Shiromani
Akali Dal (SAD) treasurer and
chief parliamentary secretary
NK Sharma, Khaira had per-
haps not realised that the
realpolitik would also lead to
many skeletons tumbling out
of the Congress cupboard.
Minutes after Khaira alleged
that Sharma had got 11 acres
registered as agricultural land -
- though around 650 flats had
been constructed on it,

One-man judicial commission begins
probe into Muzaffarnagar riots
SHAHIRA NAIM/TNS
LUCKNOW, OCTOBER 7
The one-man judicial com-
mission under retired Justice
Vishnu Sahai set up by the
Akhilesh Yadav government
to probe the Muzaffarnagar
riots today started its work.
Justice Sahai today first vis-
ited Kawaal and Malikpura vil-
lages where the triple murder
on August 27 instigated a chain
of events which led to around
62 deaths and 50,000 displaced
persons in Muzaffarnagar and
surrounding districts.
He assured the families of
the deceased of justice and
bringing the guilty to book in
an impartial manner.
Justice Sahai has appealed
to citizens to come forward
to share any relevant infor-
mation that they may have at
the commissions camp
office at the Inspection Bun-
galow of Kukda Mandi in
Muzaffarnagar.
He said that the probe would
focus on four points: what
caused the riots, the action
taken by the government offi-
cials at that time, identifica-
tion of those responsible for it
and measures to prevent such
riots in the future.
Meanwhile, the fate of the
two BJP MLAs -- Sangeet
Singh Som and Suresh Rana,
jailed under the NSAfor their
alleged involvement in inciting
the riots will be decided on
September 10 when the Uttar
Pradesh State Advisory Board
takes up the two cases.
Muzaffarnagar district
magistrate Kaushal Raj Shar-
ma and SSP HN Singh will
appear before the board in
Lucknow on September 10
for the hearing.
The two accused Som and
Rana have been brought to
Muzaffarnagar jail on the
CJM courts orders.
Congress counters Naidu,
Jagan on Andhra division
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
The Congress today adopted
a wait-and-watch approach
on the tension building over
the issue of Telangana
appealing to the people of the
state to maintain calm and
rebutting the leaders of TDP
and YSR Congress on the
issue of Andhras division to
form Telangana.
Top party leaders privately
did not rule out the imposi-
tion of Presidents rule in the
state if the law and order sit-
uation went totally out of
hand. There is no situation
for Presidents rule in Andhra
today. But as the situation
emerges we will see, party
spokesperson Bhakta Cha-
ran Das said.
Accusing TDP and YSR
Congress of indulging in
cheap politicking on the
issue, Das said the leaders
of both parties Chan-
drababu Naidu and Jagan
Mohan Reddy had earli-
er supported the demand for
Telangana.
The decision was taken
after widest possible consul-
tations and after taking the
opinion of people of the state
and the country on board.
There should be no politics
now. Why did these people
not revolt when the consulta-
tions were on, asked Das.
He recalled a December
28, 2012 letter which
Naidu wrote to Home Min-
ister Sushilkumar Shinde
where he referred to a party
politburo decision that
read, In deference to the
sentiments of people of the
region, TDP supports the
demand for separate state-
hood for Telangana.
Naidu at that time said,
Telangana is a historic
necessity and the TDP has
done the right thing by sup-
porting it.
The Congress spokesper-
son also quoted Naidu as
having said earlier that the
TDP would do everything
required legally, consti-
tutionally and politically
to create Telangana.
Today they have changed
their stand to suit their
political ends, Das
slammed the TDP chief
who is now fasting against
the same Telangana.
The Congress also called
the bluff of YSR Congress
leader Jaganmohan Reddy
who is on fast unto death
against the division of
Andhra reminding him of
June 25, 2013 when the
YSR Congress, at the
partys second plenary at
Idupulapaya, passed a reso-
lution supporting Telangana.
The Congress also gave a
timeline of consultations on
the issue saying widest pos-
sible dialogue was held.
Govts no to cooling-off period
for babus taking poll plunge
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
A recommendation of the
Election Commission (EC)
for a "cooling-off period" to
bar top bureaucrats from
joining politics or contesting
elections immediately on
exit from service has been
rejected by the government
which feels such a step will
not be in harmony with the
constitutional provisions.
The government's decision
is based on the opinion of
Attorney General Goolam E
Vahanvati and the Ministry
of Law and Justice.
The EC, early last year, had
written to the Department of
Personnel and Training
(DoPT) and Law Ministry
after it got concerned over a
number of "senior civil ser-
vants" jumping into the elec-
toral fray and hence asked
the government to bring in a
"cooling-off period" clause
between leaving the govern-
ment job and joining a polit-
ical party by these officials.
It had then suggested
amendments to service rules
of IAS, IPS and other class
'A' services officials to
enable that protocol.
The AG said "that any such
restriction (against officials
joining politics or contesting
poll) whether by way of serv-
ices rules or by way of an
amendment of the election
laws may not stand the test of
valid classification under
Article 14 of the Constitution
of India". The legislative
department of the ministry
said this "would not be in

MUMBAI, OCTOBER 7
Afzal Usmai, the alleged
member of the Indian
Mujahideen who escaped
from a Mumbai court on
September 20, may have left
the country, say police
authorities.
A massive manhunt
launched by the crime
branch and the anti-terror
squad of the Mumbai police
has not yielded any results
so far. Police sources feel
Usmani may have escaped
to Pakistan via Bangladesh
or Nepal.
He might have cultivated
contacts while in prison and
could have even set up
sleeper cells comprising ex-
convicts, they say. Usmani
had been in jail since 2008.
The escape of six suspect-
ed activists of the banned
Students Islamic Movement
of India from a jail in Mad-
hya Pradesh is also giving
sleepless nights to security
officials. Reports quoting
intelligence agencies say the
six may link up with Usmani
out of country to carry out
terror attacks.
Officials have tightened
security in Mumbai ahead of
the festival season.

Batting for developing Ame-
thi as an agriculture hub,
Congress vice-president and
Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi
today looked forward to
reversing the present situa-
tion where the farmer got
the poorest return after put-
ting in the hardest labor.
While a farmer sells pota-
to between Rs 6 and Rs 10
per kilogram, those who
make potato chips sell it at
Rs 400 per kg. Mangoes
from UP are sold in the US
and Britain but what do our
farmers get? asked Gandhi.
He was speaking at a pub-
lic function after laying the
foundation stone of a mega
food park in the Jagdishpur
area of Amethi today. The
park is being developed by
the Aditya Birla Group.
It is expected to have 50
units and provide direct
employment to around 2,500
people besides giving indirect
opportunities to additional
25,000 people and benefiting
40,000 farmers of the region.
Explaining the rationale
behind setting up the park,
Rahul said whatever was pro-
duced in UPshould largely be
processed in Amethi, which
he saw the potential of being
developed as an agricultural
hub. Farmers will feel they
are getting better compensa-
tion for their hard work,
Gandhi said.
UPis the largest producer
of mentha. Guess what
happens to it. It is exported in
raw form for which the
farmer gets a pittance. It is
processed in foreign coun-
tries and then comes back to
us as finished products and
we pay a hefty amount for
it, Gandhi pointed out.
The situation could be
reversed, he said. Acargo ter-
minal could be set up at the
Fursatganj airstrip in Rae
Bareli from where mangoes
and other processed food
items could be directly sent
abroad fetching maximum
returns to the local farmers.
Citing Bengaluru develop-
ment as a science and R&D
hub, the Amethi MP said the
setting up of the HAL unit
there around 60 years ago
became a triggering factor.
He hoped for the same to
happen with Amethi. A
beginning was made by
Rajivji who had had worked
to provide good roads to the
region, he said. Industrialist
Kumar Mangalam Birla
termed Rahul as the symbol
of expectations of the new
generation and observed that
the Congress vice-president
spoke less about politics and
more about development.
Union Minister of State for
Agriculture and Food Pro-
cessing Charan Das Mahant
was also present.
The Shaktiman Mega Food
Park spread over 72 acres is
estimated to generate rev-
enue of Rs 450 crore, which
will significantly boost local
employment and economy
in the area.
While a
farmer sells
potato
between Rs 6
and Rs 10 per
kilogram, those who
make potato chips sell it
at Rs 400 per kg.
Mangoes from UP are
sold in the US and
Britain but what do our
farmers get?

Investigations have
revealed that the three
heavily armed Pakistani
terrorists, who killed 10
persons in the twin terror
attacks in Samba and
Kathua on September 26,
had plans to hold senior
Army officers of the unit
hostage.
The investigations and
recoveries so far indicate
that the terrorists had plans
to hold hostage any senior
Army officer they could
have laid their hands on,
said a top police source
privy to the investigations.
He said there was ample
proof to suggest that the
trio wanted to engage the
Army over a longer dura-
tion of time.
Besides arms and
ammunition, we have
recovered one metal hand-
cuff, food packets, includ-
ing two tins of multi-vita-
mins having 1.6 kilo calo-
ries each, almonds,
cashews and raisins, from
the site of the encounter
inside the Army camp, he
said. This suggests that
they had plans to hold at
least one senior officer
hostage and then prolong
the encounter for two or
three days, negotiate and at
the same time hog wide
media attention, said
the source.
The source also said by
7.15 am on that fateful day
the terrorists had stormed
the Army camp in Samba,
much before the Hiranagar
police station could gather
its wits and call the police
control room in Kathua.
The police control room
in Kathua was informed
about the incident at 7.15
am, by then the ultras, who
had entered 10 km inside
the jurisdiction of Samba
district, had already
stormed the Army camp,
he said.
Though, they killed Lt
Col Bikramjeet Singh and
three other soldiers inside
the Army camp, they prob-
ably didnt get enough time
to execute their plan, the
source revealed.
He, however, said it was
intriguing that at 5.30 am
the ultras had hijacked an
auto-rickshaw of Roshan Lal
at gun point and travelled 20
km unhindered from Haria
Chak to Hiranagar.
It is quite surprising that
they crossed the Rajbagh
police station, two police
posts, including the one at
Marheen, two police nakas
and several other Army and
police installations before
attacking the Hiranagar
police station on the high-
way, he said.

Even as the government
intends to put the historic
Mughal Road on the tourist
map in a major way, 10 out
of 16 caravan sarais locat-
ed on the road are either
abandoned or in a dilapi-
dated condition.
Other caravan sarais,
which were used as resting
places by travellers during
the Mughal period, have
either turned into schools
or are occupied by securi-
ty forces.
Eight sarais are in a dilap-
idated condition while two
are abandoned, the
Tourism Ministry said
today in a written reply to
a query in the Legislative
Council. While two sarais
are functioning as schools,
two others are occupied by
the Army and another by
police personnel.
A sarai in Rajouri
district has been
occupied by locals, the
government said.
The government also
admitted that these sarais
are being occasionally used
by the Gujjar and Bakerw-
al communities for shelter
and grazing purposes.
Regarding their conserva-
tion, the Tourism Ministry
said: We plan to take care
of these sarais which are of
great heritage value. Once
the Mughal Road is for-
mally opened, we will take
measures to stop illegal
occupation of these struc-
tures. Authorities con-
cerned would be given nec-
essary instructions in this
regard. The Mughal Road
connects Rajouri in Jammu
region to south Kashmir.
While light vehicles are
already plying on it, the
state government is yet to
officially throw it open.
The government is hope-
ful that the link will
boost trade between the
two regions.
The government said the
sarais located in the Pir Pan-
jal area remain inaccessible
due to hostile weather
conditions and lack of prop-
er connectivity.

Noisy scenes were witnessed
in the state Assembly today
as members of the BJP and
National Panthers Party
staged a walkout over a
report on creation of new
administrative units in
Jammu and Kashmir.
When the House began its
business today, the members
of the two parties raised the
issue of creation of new
administrative units in the
state. Unmoved by repeated
warnings by Speaker
Mubarak Gul, the agitating
members walked into the
Well of the House. Unruly
scenes were created by the
members even as other mem-
bers continued to impress
upon the Speaker to contin-
ue the proceedings of the
Question Hour.
The angry legislators later
staged a walkout from the
House, saying the govern-
ment had asked the public to
file objections, without mak-
ing the report public. No
business was done for near-
ly 20 minutes. The House
resumed business only after
the angry legislators staged a
walkout.
Some of the members
alleged that the distribution
of a number of villages had
been done on the basis of
political affiliations, which
was not a judicious arrange-
ment of the creation of the
new units.
The Cabinet Sub-Commit-
tee, headed by Deputy Chief
Minister Tara Chand, had
on July 31 invited objec-
tions in this regard from the
public, to be submitted with-
in 15 days. It was constitut-
ed earlier this year following
a report submitted by the
Ganai Committee on the
creation of new administra-
tive units.

Governor NN Vohra today
underscored the need for mak-
ing operational the inland
water transport system in the
Kashmir valley in a time-
bound manner. The Governor
said the facility would be an
added attraction for tourists,
generate employment avenues
and ease traffic congestion.
Vohra said this after Divi-
sional Commissioner, Kash-
mir, Shailendra Kumar made a
presentation on the develop-
ment of inland water tourism
and historical sites in Kashmir
during a meeting at Raj
Bhawan here.
Last month, a delegation led
by Sheikh Imran had met the
Governor and informed him
about the initiatives taken by
the government in 1996-97 to
develop an inland navigation
system. Thereafter, Raj
Bhawan had asked the Divi-
sional Commissioner to
review all past decisions and
brief the Governor about the
way forward.
After discussions with the
officials at the meeting, the
Governor asked the Division-
al Commissioner to put in
place an inland water trans-
port system at identified sec-
tors of the Jhelum which
could be of interest to tourists.
As such the operational details
should be finalised by the
Tourism Department and
effectively advertised, he said.
The Governor asked the Divi-
sional Commissioner to coor-
dinate between the Lakes and
Waterways Development
Authority, Tourism and Irri-
gation Departments and the
police to finalise an action
plan for the phased develop-
ment of a number of circuits
to be covered by water navi-
gation system.
The Governor observed that
Srinagar city and other areas of
the Valley had a large number
of heritage and historical sites
and if an inland water transport
system became operational, an
attractive element could be
added to the packages to be
offered to the tourists. He
advised the Kashmir Divi-
sional Commissioner to ensure
that whatever was viable
should be done without any
delay to make a definitive
beginning in this direction.
The Governor suggested to
Farooq Ahmad Shah, Deputy
Commissioner, Srinagar, and
Talat Parvez, Director,
Tourism, Kashmir, to take all
required measures to publicise
the motor-boating facility,
which was available on the
Jhelum and also involve the
hotel associations in publicis-
ing the facility.

The Supreme Court today
clarified that it would go
into Jammu and Kashmir
Governments alleged dis-
criminatory policy for
payment of compensation
to security personnel who
became victims of vio-
lence only after disposing
of a public interest litiga-
tion (PIL) on the recent
riots in Kishtwar district.
A Bench comprising
Chief Justice P Sathasivam
and Justice Ranjan Gogoi
made the clarification
while refusing to hear sen-
ior counsel Bhim Singh on
the compensation policy
and posting the PIL for
December 3 for detailed
arguments.
While the pleas relating
to Kishtwar violence were
pending in the Supreme
Court, you cant seek fur-
ther relief on other
aspects such as the com-
pensation policy, the
Bench said.
Right or wrong, the state
government has taken a
Constitutional position to
justify its policy. The
state may have several
other problems, the
Bench remarked.

Two dead rats found
in mid-day meal
SUMEDHA SHARMA
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
GURGAON, OCTOBER 7
Two dead rats were found
in the mid-day meal at a
government school in
Hedli Lal village of Sohna
subdivision.
Schoolteachers said when
they opened the food con-
tainers, they found two
dead rats in them. The food
is supplied by ISCON, a
local firm.
On hearing about the inci-
dent, residents of the vil-
lage thronged the school
fearing well-being of their
children.
The school principal said
the transport vehicle of the
mid-day meal had come
early today and the driver
had left in haste even
before they could check the
containers.
Taking strong note of the
incident, the village pan-
chayat decided to boycott
the meal.
Several times we have
informed officials the Edu-
cation Department to stop
sending food as quality of
the food was not good. Our
children will not eat it till
things take a better turn,
said a panchayat member.
Blaming the school for
callousness, an official of
ISCON, said the food was
fine till it reached the
school and it was only
there that rats fell in it.
We get signature of the
school authorities when
they receive the meal to
confirm its condition and
timely delivery. In this
case, they have signed
expressing satisfaction, so
its their fault. There is no
proper storage or dining
space in the school, said
the official.
HC orders vigilance probe
into illegal mining
SAURABH MALIK
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CHANDIGARH, OCTOBER 7
The Punjab and Haryana
High Court has ordered a
vigilance probe into min-
ing mafia operating in
parts of Haryana.
Issuing the directions, the
Bench of Chief Justice San-
jay Kishan Kaul and Justice
Augustine Georga Masih
made it clear that the matter
was being handed over to
the vigilance, and not the
Central Bureau of Investiga-
tion (CBI) as it was already
over burdened.
Taking into consideration
the nature of the matter and
keeping in mind the burden
already on the CBI, let the
Vigilance branch of the State
of Haryana further investi-
gate into the matter,'' the
Bench asserted.
The directions came on an
appeal filed by transporter
Joginder against the State of
Haryana and other respon-
dents. He was seeking direc-
tions to the respondents to
allow his vehicles, transport-
ing minor minerals from
leased area in Uttar Pradesh,
to enter the state. Directions
were also sought to the
respondents not to cause
hindrance in the transporta-
tion of minor minerals''.
His petition was initially
disposed of by a Single
Judge in April last year after
holding that the respondents
were very well within their
rights to stop the vehicles
carrying minerals or other
consignments in an unautho-
rised manner. Aggrieved by
the order, he moved the High
Court again.
As the matter came up for
hearing, the Division Bench
observed: We may notice that
on May 2, counsel appearing
for the appellant gave no
objection if an FIR was regis-
tered against the appellant as
well as qua the allegations
made by him against mining
mafia, which may be re-inves-
tigated by the CBI.
The court directed that
the FIR be registered and the
allegation and counter-alle-
gation of illegal mining may
be investigated by a Central
agency. Advocate General,
Haryana, states that the mat-
ter has been examined at the
level of Additional Chief
Secretary and thereafter by
the Principal Secretary and
the State is of the opinion
that the state police and
investigation apparatus is
competent to handle the case
but if this court decides to
entrust the investigation of
the case to the CBI, assis-
tance of the state police
would be assured.
The Bench concluded:
Though, we have been
informed that the challan has
been filed in the court, if
some other material is found
the same be placed before the
trial court.''
The case will now come up
on January 16, 2014, for the
Vigilance Department to pro-
duce the result of investigation
and file a compliance and sta-
tus report before the court.

NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
Union Minister and senior
Congress leader Selja is
upset over the deteriorat-
ing political atmosphere in
the state and is of the view
that the level of bitterness
now prevalent in the high-
er echelons was not wit-
nessed in the past.
Aday after being hit on the
left shoulder by a stone while
travelling from Kalka to
Chandigarh on the Kalka-Sai
Nagar Shiridi superfast
express yesterday, the Union
Minister is distressed over the
turn of events, sources close to
the leader told The Tribune.
The incident took place
when she boarded a general
coach after flagging off the
new train and sat next to a
window when all of a sudden
a stone hurtled towards her,
hitting her on the shoulder.
Selja refused to offer any com-
ments on whether the incident
could be a handiwork of a mis-
creant, a pre-meditated attack
or a freak accident.
Prior to the incident, she
was at a meeting organised by
the Pradesh Congress Com-
mittee where, according to
reports, Congress general
secretary Shakeel Ahmed had
asked party members not to
air their grievances in public.
However, some members,
who were not favoured by
those controlling the organi-
zation, were not given an
opportunity to share their
views even in closed-door
meeting, sources said.
On her part, Selja said it
was surprising that state
leaders were talking of ene-
mies when in politics one
only heard of rivals. Atmos-
phere is polluted. State lead-
ers are talking of enemies in
politics. How can you have
enemies? We only heard of
rivals,'' she said.

Taking cognizance of alle-
gations levelled by a
"whisteblower" in a
recruitment rip-off in
Haryana, the Punjab and
Haryana High Court today
issued notice to former
Chief Parliamentary Sec-
retary Ram Kishan Fouji.
Notice has also been issued
to the SPs of Yamunanagar
and Bhiwani.
The notice came after
Anand Kumar of Yamu-
nanagar alleged threat to
his life and liberty from
Fouji. In his petition,
Kumar alleged he was
being pressured to with-
draw the complaint
against Fouji.
Describing himself as
`whistleblower'' , Kumar
claimed since he dared to
unearth the job-for-cash
scam in Haryana, he was
receiving threats from
unknown persons.
Kumar alleged Fouji
had demanded and accept-
ed a bribe of Rs 5 lakh to
offer the job of a JBT
teacher to him. "The peti-
tioner met Fouji who
assured of help subject to
the fact that he should be
given Rs 5 lakh ", the peti-
tion added.
Kumar added he bor-
rowed money from his rel-
atives and family friends to
pay the bribe for the
recruitment, which took
place in 2010. Two years
later, he "out of guilt"
decided to "expose" the
recruitment scam.

Demanding a copy of the
report of the one-man Justice
Iqbal Singh inquiry commis-
sion submitted to the
Haryana Government on the
Rewari violence over land
acquisition in July last year,
the Bhoomi Adhigrahan
Virodh Samiti, Rewari, today
also sought the withdrawal of
criminal cases registered
against villagers.
The samiti made this
demand before a committee
headed by Industries Minis-
ter Randeep Singh Surjewala
to resolve the land acquisi-
tion issues in Rewari.
Sources said the samiti had
also rejected the award for
land acquisition under the
existing provisions, propos-
ing that the award must be
given as per the new Land
acquisition Bill. The
demand for withdrawal of
criminal cases and compen-
sation as per the new legisla-
tion have already been con-
veyed to the government at
todays meetings, a member
of the samiti delegation said.
Sources said the committee
would now ask the Home
Department to provide the
report to the samiti.
The Inquiry Commission
had in its report said that the
protest against land acquisi-
tion proceedings in Rewari
where a farmer-police clash
left many injured was the
handiwork of outsiders with
vested interests.
They had mingled with
farmers and ignited passions,
leading to blocking of the
highway and policemen
being held hostage. Suggest-
ing that the government
should consider dropping the
cases registered against
farmers, the report also rec-
ommended medical compen-
sation to the farmers and
policemen.
The commission had sug-
gested that the Deputy Com-
missioner should be made
overall in charge of the dis-
trict as far as law and order
was concerned. The govern-
ment should go ahead with
its plan for an industrial proj-
ect on the land, it recom-
mended in the report.

Opinion 8
THE TRIBUNE, CHANDIGARH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2013
P
RIME Minister Dr. Manmo-
han Singh met Pakistan Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif a day
after addressing the United
Nations General Assembly in New
York on September 28 and the two
discussed all important issues, includ-
ing Kashmir, sharing of river waters,
Siachen, Sir Creek and Baluchistan.
Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh also had a meeting with US
President Obama.
During his meeting with President
Obama, Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh explained to him how Pak-
istan had become the epicenter of
international terrorism. The recent
attack by Pakistan-trained militants
on a police station and an Army post
in Kathua district of J&K was also
mentioned. President Obama is also
fully aware of the deadly extent of
the activities of jihadi outfits like
Lashkar-e-Taiba in India. USA had
even announced a reward of $10 mil-
lion on the head Hafiz Saeed, the
chief of LeT and its parallel outfit
Jamat-ud-Dawa and had described
him as an international terrorist. In
his address at the UN General
Assembly also the Prime Minister
referred to the terrorist organisations
backed by Al-Qaida from Pakistan.
On his part Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif spoke of issues such as Kash-
mir, the need to ascertain the opinion
of the people of Kashmir in deciding
on its future and status. He also
referred to issues like Siachen and
Baluchistan, where, Pakistan had
alleged that Indian agencies were
instigating a revolt.
During their interaction in New
York, Sharif asserted that there was
no evidence against LeT regarding
its role in the November, 2008 attacks
in Mumbai. He also insisted that
Jamat-ud-Dawa, the parallel organi-
sation founded by Hafiz Saeed was
only interested in extending various
forms of help to the rural people of
Pakistan and was not known to have
indulged in any terrorist activities. It
was obvious that Sharif was only try-
ing to play to the gallery, particular-
ly the militant and religious funda-
mentalists in Pakistan.
The internal situation in Pakistan is
in chaos and the state of affairs is
known to India as well as USA and
other western countries.
An analyst has commented in the
News Week of Pakistan that Karachi,
Peshawar and Quetta are known to be
the bases of terrorist groups and even
Lahore has joined the ranks as a ter-
rorist base. This analyst also pointed
out that the well-known universities in
Pakistan had also become bases of
terrorist elements.
However, Pakistans newly elected
Prime Minister seems to be overlook-
ing the fact that he is, in fact, playing
with fire by trying to downplay the
existence of extremist elements in his
country. The bombing of an ancient
Church in Quetta on September 22, in
which 85 persons were killed and over
100 injured was a gruesome reminder
to the Nawaz Sharif government tha-
treligious fundamentalist elements
like Taliban should not be ignored.
On October 2, 2013 afternoon Lt.
Gen. Gurmeet Singh of Srinagar-
based 15 Corps briefed the media
about the ongoing encounter in the
Keran sector of Kupwara district of
the LoC. The Corps Commander dis-
closed that the encounter was on for
the past 10 days and as many as 35-
40 militants had infiltrated into the
forest of Keran sector of Kupwara
district. In the flushing out operation
carried out by the Army, 15 intruders
had been killed and the operation
continued for apprehending the
remaining militants. Apart from the
fact that it was a brazen attempt on
the part of the Pakistani Army to ini-
tiate the encounter apparently for the
purpose of infiltrating militants into
Kashmir it exposed the charade
which Pakistan Prime Minister tried
to maintain during his meeting with
Dr. Manmohan Singh.
However, the fact that this encounter
has been going on for the past nine
days involving 35-40 militants who
are suspected to be from Pakistan spe-
cial troops exposed the design and
undependability of Pakistan Army.
It also proves once again that Sharif
has not been able to exercise com-
plete control over General Kayani and
ISI so far. It is, therefore, futile to
hope for peace along the LoC and
good conduct on the part of Pakistan
Army and the ISI.
With Sharif sticking to inanities like
his assertion that Pakistan itself was
a victim of terrorism and that it was
not helping any jihadi groups, the
meeting produced no worthwhile
results. In making such assertions,
Sharif was only deluding himself even
more than he tried to explain Pak-
istans position.
When asked by a media person that
since this was his first interaction with
Nawaz Sharif and whether he got the
impression of him being master of his
own destiny or he was being held back
by the ISI and the Pakistan Army,
Manmohan Singh could only reply
that he sincerely hoped that Nawaz
Sharif would succeed in carrying out
his mission. There cant be any further
comment on the possible outcome of
the meeting between the two Prime
Ministers.
At the meeting between Manmohan
Singh and Nawaz Sharif, it was agreed
that the incidents across the LoC
would, henceforth, be taken up by the
DGMOs of both the countries who
would try to resolve these. This seems
to be the only worthwhile outcome of
the meeting of the two prime minis-
ters, though it remains to be seen how
effective his arrangement would be.
Sharif also assured the Indian Prime
Minister that the most favoured nation
protocol would be extended to India
in order to facilitate trade between the
two countries.
As for the crucial question of
progress to bring to justice those
involved in Mumbai attacks in 2008,
Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas
Jilani said a Judicial Commission had
recently visited India, with the autho-
risation to cross-examine and its
report was awaited.
Keeping in view, the state of affairs,
nothing more could have been expect-
ed from the meeting of the two
prime ministers.
On the other hand, the interaction
between Dr. Manmohan Singh and
President Obama was quite produc-
tive. India has been a strategic part-
ner of USA in defence matters. India
has now agreed to participate in joint
exercises with the US fleet in the Asia
Pacific Region.
It is also reported that the purchase
of a nuclear reactor for generating
power from one of the private com-
panies in the US has been agreed
upon, though the details are still
not available.
In the defence sector USAhas hand-
ed over a list of 10 defence technolo-
gies for transfer to India, thereby
bringing it into the small group of
close allies with whom America
shares such sensitive details. This
marks a definite step forward in the
Indo-US defence ties and
strategic partnership.

T
HE Indian Air Force (IAF), which came into being 81 years
ago, has come a long way from the time it was raised by the
British as an auxiliary air force in 1932 with initially just four
Westland Wapiti IIAsingle-engine biplanes. Post-Independence, the
IAF has been among with the worlds busiest: It has participated
in wars with Pakistan, been involved in military engagements over-
seas (Sri Lanka) and in UN peace support operations, continues to
be engaged in air maintenance operations in some of the worlds
most treacherous terrains setting new records as a matter of rou-
tine and exercises with some of the worlds most advanced air
forces, including the US Air Force.
The IAF, which is currently in the midst of unprecedented mod-
ernisation and capability enhancement, has in the last decade-
and-a-half inducted long-range Su 30 MKI multi-role fighters,
flight refuelling aircraft, Airborne Warning and Control Systems
and the US-made C-17 and C-130J Hercules transport aircraft. The
transport aircraft, however, are essentially replacements for the age-
ing Soviet-origin IL 76 and An-32 fleet. But despite these new
inductions and capabilities, the IAF seems to be fighting a losing
battle both quantitative and qualitative when it comes to its
fighter squadrons. Numerically, the IAF is depleted to 33 fighter
squadrons (a 34th squadron is currently under raising) against its
sanctioned strength of 42.
The much delayed indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft
is still some time away from induction, which means the IAF will
need to continue to fly its museum piece MiG 21s that have a dubi-
ous flight safety record. Equally serious is the recent statement of
the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Norman Anil Kumar
Browne, that the IAF has no backup plan in case India does not make
a timely purchase of the shortlisted French-made Rafale medium
multi-role combat aircraft which are meant to replace the ageing
Jaguars and the other MiG series aircraft the MiG 23s, MiG 27s
and MiG 29s. There could then be a rapid decline in the number of
fighter aircraft fleet between 2017-2022, making the IAF worse off
than now. The government, which would be aware of all this, needs
to take timely measures so that the countrys air power capabilities
do not deteriorate further.

One fine day, when the lights went out
U
S Army Delta Force commandos have apprehended a terror-
ist who had a bounty on his head. The ineffectual protest by
the Libyan government notwithstanding, the arrest of Abu
Anas al-Liby, who had a $5 million reward on his head, by the US
special forces hardly caused any ripples. It is another notch in the
aggressive US policy of hunting down terrorists, especially of the
Al-Qaida variety, no matter where they are to be found. Nazih Abdul-
Hamed al-Ruqai, or al-Liby, is said to have been involved in the simul-
taneous bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in
1998. He had a longstanding involvement with Al-Qaida operations
and was seen as a high-value target by the Americans.
The US special forces did not get similar success in a simultaneous
attack in Somalia, where they had to withdraw following stiff resist-
ance from the local Al-Shabab terrorists. They also found that their
target was present where they expected him. The mixed success of
the two operations serves to highlight the triumphs as well as limita-
tions that such options have. On the one hand, the US has shown its
willingness and ability to strike at will against high-value terrorists.
On the other, there is only so much that special operations can achieve.
It has to engage with terrorists through various other means too, even
as it has to tread gingerly into locations where it has no sovereign rights.
The US will have to address the issue of violating international laws
during such raids. It has seen its policy thwarted in Syria, after a strong
Russian intervention. Now the UN is doing the job that it should have
been doing in the first place. Indeed, even as terrorists spread their
tentacles far and wide, international cooperation, not unilateralism,
is the key to defeating them. However, till various nations facing ter-
rorism work together to build a common mechanism to deal with it,
such raids will take place and will be widely welcomed.
US continues its war against Al-Qaida
Internal democracy the only fix

Party discipline
T
HE Congress is trying to put down the smoke rising from many
quarters in its Haryana state unit. In Punjab, one can even see
the ambers. Unable to enforce discipline on rebellious ele-
ments, Congress general secretary Shakeel Ahmed on Sunday said party
leaders should refrain from going to the media with their grievances,
and instead raise them through the party protocol. The problem in the
Haryana Congress is the multiple aspirants for the post of Chief Min-
ister, which they expect will be up for grabs after the Assembly elec-
tions next year. In Punjab, it is the position of state party president, as
not all senior leaders have reconciled to Partap Singh Bajwa.
When does a leader rebel in a party? Obviously, when he feels he
deserves more than he has, and no one is listening to him. Going to
the media is never the first choice. When it comes to eyeing the top
few positions, minor sops dont work, which is why talks often
dont help. A determined aspirant will settle for nothing less than
his pound of flesh. Depending on a leaders vote worth, making noise
in the media works too his choice of a few candidates, a posi-
tion at the Centre, or a few ministerial berths for his people.
Action, as threatened by Ahmed, usually comes only when it is clear
a leader wont come around or if his worth is assessed low.
And how is the worth assessed? Through hearings the high com-
mand holds with state leaders and workers. This is where coteries come
into play, as they can influence who gets a hearing. Many are left with
the feeling they got a raw deal. The only sure method of assessing a
persons worth is through votes internal party democracy. It may
not be a coincidence that the Youth Congress has been quite disci-
plined ever since Rahul Gandhi introduced secret ballot to elect the
leadership. The Congress just as other parties has not had the
courage to go for this advanced experiment with democracy.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an
ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean
doesnt become dirty. Mahatma Gandhi
Letters to the Editor
W
HEN you reside in
one of those presti-
gious gated com-
munities that are oh-so
famous in the real-estate hub
of Gurgaon, facilities like
security, recreational cen-
tres, 24x7 power back-up
and other amenities are
taken for granted.
This mundane evening
around 4pm, there was a
power outage. Over time, it
is so ingrained in us that
subconsciously by the time
one slowly counts to 10, the
back-up generator is usual-
ly on and the lights are back
before you know it. Well,
that day. The generator mal-
functioned as well and the
Facilities Manager
announced with aplomb that
it was a major breakdown. I
stood in my favourite bal-
cony that houses all my
plants and soaked in my sur-
roundings.
Half an hour later, I sud-
denly noticed the building
across showed signs of life.
I always wondered if there
were any inhabitants
dwelling there. Balcony
doors were being opened,
life-forms were actually
leaning against the railings.
I noticed a few old ladies
fanning themselves with
hand-fans. I could see move-
ment at last.
Voila! My neighbour
upstairs was dragging chairs
out into the balcony as well.
A lot of commotion above.
I glanced down and saw my
neighbours out in their gar-
den and we chit-chatted for
a bit, with me leaning over
rather precariously. That
was quite nice as most often
than nought I end up chat-
ting with their Labrador
puppy who is a great fan of
mine. Obviously, I mean
who has time to chat with
dogs. Tsk...Tsk! There were
definitely many more kids
in the park than most usual
evenings. More people
strolling around too. The
zombies had risen. I over-
heard little kids grumbling
and mumbling about the
nuances of a tragic evening
befalling over them.
No TV, no video games, no
computer. By Jove, it was a
disaster. I couldnt help and
snigger at how much
tougher we were as kids.
Power outages were a part of
life. The kerosene
lamps/lanterns, candles and
diyas were all part of our
childhood till we got the
LED lights that were in
vogue. I fondly remember
the holidays I used to spend
with my grandparents on
their farm. Electricity would
be available on alternate
days. One never quite fig-
ured that system out but it
was so thrilling to get ice-
cubes in our phalsa squash
on the light days. But we
lived like that happily, with-
out a care in the world.
Past 6 pm, I could see
myself getting restless too
and started pacing my flat
like a caged tigress. It was
way past my gym time you
see. The machines in the
gym were dead as door nails
but I could cycle, right, so I
did. I could see people get-
ting more and more impa-
tient as it grew dark and
there were no signs of elec-
tricity returning. Back at my
flat, I got a brainwave. This
article was forming in my
mind. So I did what anyone
in such a situation would do,
put pen to paper. This was
not an easy task, I daresay,
in the backdrop of a flicker-
ing candle. Hey presto, here
it is. I did realise something
very important while writing
this piece. I need to start
wearing glasses. Like they
say, votre sant!
Telangana

Pandoras box
T
HIS refers to the editorial
Telangana travails (October
5). Amidst a spate of resigna-
tions, agitations, slugfest and diplo-
macy, it is regretted to find that every
action taken, be it against or in favour
of the creation of Telangana, is marred
by politics. Every political party has
moulded itself to move with an eye on
the vote bank.
If we have true nationalist feelings
in us, we should not be bothered about
the creation of another state. There is
no harm if the states, which are too big
to be effectively governed and man-
aged with regard to various consider-
ations, are partitioned. The new state
remains where it was and continues to
be an inherent part of our country. The
smaller states facilitate effective gov-
ernance and the benefit of various gov-
ernment schemes reaches more and
more people. The sharing of capital
should also not be seen as the root cause
of strained relations. If our leaders
inculcate in them the spirit of being
Indian first, such grudges and discon-
tentment will stop brewing within them
and the masses led by them. In my
opinion, such sharing of capital should
strengthen the bonds and feelings of
brotherhood. It is only the filth of dirty
politics in the minds of our leaders that
vitiates and poisons the minds of mass-
es and breeds in them the separatist
feelings which when grow to larger
proportions become canker.
DR SANJEEVTRIKHA, Fatehabad
Fair price
At present, manufacturers deliberately
leave a big gap between the printed
Maximum Retail Price (MRP) or the
list price and the actual ex-factory price
of commodities mainly to be used as
bribe for purchase officers in govern-
ment and private-sector offices. Most-
ly, the actual ex-factory price is just one
third of the printed price or MRP or the
list price. To stop this practice, the
Union Government should impose
excise duty on the basis of MRP rather
than ex-factory price. Even today, such
a system is prevailing for some select
commodities, which should be compul-
sorily extended for all commodities in
general. These observations are based
on information provided by some man-
ufacturers whose products are mainly
supplied to various Centre and state
government departments.
The government should also make
appropriate changes in the Packaged
Commodities Act to check the menace
of gimmick packaging by manufactur-
ers to cheat consumers. It should be
made compulsory to have all packaged
commodities only in the packs of 1, 2,
5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 gms/mls/kgs/ltrs
only to avoid gimmick packaging by
manufacturers. Goods packed by num-
bers should likewise be only in the packs
of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500,
1,000 and similar multiples of 1,000
abolishing packing by dozens etc. India
should follow South Africa in extending
the RTI Act to the private sector too.
MADHU AGRAWAL, New Delhi
T
HE property tax levied by the
government in Punjab that is
confined to residential units is not
a property tax but a kind of wealth
tax because it is linked to the
collector rate of land fixed for each
area. The collector rate is subject to
revision at any point of time, thus
increasing the burden on
homeowners in future. Even the
income tax laws give exemption to
one dwelling unit/house from wealth
tax. Here the government is
burdening the public with its
oppressive and irrational policies.
We can understand being billed for
electricity, water, etc because we
make use of these utilities. But how
does the government explain and
justify the imposition of property
tax on a non-productive, non-
revenue generating property? The
government is in dire straits and it
is being misled and misguided by its
advisers to garner resources.
Any tax that the government
wishes to impose should be
designed in a manner that the people
are comfortable and willing to pay
for the smooth functioning of the
government machinery. Otherwise,
it reflects the dictatorial and
monopolistic mindset of the
government. The Punjab
government should give a second
thought on this decision and rework
the property tax formula in order to
make it rational.

9 OPED Law THE TRIBUNE, CHANDIGARH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2013
RAVI S. DHAVAN
A
NY un-thought-through
step of creating an
Ordinance without
urgent need is subver-
sive to democracy as
embodied in the Constitution. The
attempt to create a law as an Ordinance
when no foundations worth the name
exist for picking up the wand of emer-
gency, simply to make a judgment of
the Supreme Court vanish, shreds the
philosophy of the Constitution.
The issue is not so much, at present,
whether the Members of Parliament
may have an image or character that is
sans criminality. Should they be there
or not is a matter which Parliament
itself has to discuss. Irrespective of the
reason for the delay in dialogue in
Parliament, it cannot be made an
excuse to pick up the emergency leg-
islative provisions as given in the
Constitution to require the President to
sign an Ordinance.
Long practice, obviously borrowed
from British constitutional provisions,
has brought the idea into the
Constitution of India that the executive
may have powers to enact an emergency
legislation as an Ordinance when the
Houses of legislature are not sitting, and
present it to the President for approval,
which shall continue as an enactment in
all its intent, unless otherwise repealed
or modified by Parliament. If this is not
done within a certain duration, the
Ordinance shall lapse. But the very
premise of utilising this extraordinary
power by the executive is surrounded by
checks and balances, that there must be
conditions of extreme and dire emer-
gency to create an Ordinance, and send
it to the President, in effect, for ratifica-
tion. The content of the power is con-
tained in the Constitution, about this
there is no doubt. The use of it is writ
large with caution. If this power is
utilised lightly, during the off periods
when Parliament may not be in session,
then the world will accuse the executive
of conducting a government by decree.
The unchaste haste in requiring the
President to promulgate an Ordinance
can lead to the conclusion that the exec-
utive may face lack of support, present
and future, of those who ought not to be
members of legislature, who want to
reserve their seats, so to speak, now,
looking toward an approaching election.
In Hindustani, such an effort would be
termed as apne hiton ki vakalat.
Perhaps the confidence to frame an
Ordinance when Parliament is not in
session may be resting on Article 74 of
the Constitution. This Article enjoins
that the Council of Ministers with the
Prime Minister at the head will aid and
advise the President, who will in the
exercise of his functions act in accor-
dance with such advice. Simply put,
those who want the Ordinance to go
through are resting in the confidence
that the President is obliged and bound
by the advice of the Council of
Ministers, but this is not so. This very
Article 74 permits the President to
require the Council to reconsider such
advice, either generally or otherwise.
But then, when the ball is sent back to
the President there is an obligation that
he shall act in accordance with the
advice tendered after such reconsidera-
tion by the Prime Minister and his
Council of Ministers. For an objective,
rational and thinking President, may it
be said that the rigidity, if there be so,
closes the door on the President?
No rubberstamp
The soul of the Constitution has left one
door ajar for the President to look into
what is presented rationally and objec-
tively. The President is not a rubber-
stamp Head of the State, lest anybody
might locate him in the world of lost
riyasats, to call him Nawab-be-
Mulk. After all, it is the President who
has been conferred with the powers or
discretion in matters relating to Bills
that are under consideration of
Parliament to call for joint sitting of
both Houses by his message if
Parliament is sitting, or by public notifi-
cation if Parliament is not sitting. The
intention of the President, read and writ-
ten in the Constitution, is to summon
both Houses in Parliament for a joint
session for the purpose of deliberating
and voting on a Bill under considera-
tion. The reference is to Article 108.
The purpose is to demonstrate that the
President has discretion in what is being
forwarded to him to complete the
process of legislation to become an
enactment. This is, of course, when MPs
have an inclination and desire to aid the
Bill to become an enactment. The
President helps in this, MPs with this
help deliberate on the Bill if it is their
desire to carry the motion through and
put the Legislation on the Statute Book.
But catching the President to pay heed
to a Constitutional provision, and seek-
ing his abetment behind the backs of a
Parliament not in session is an exercise
that puts a very heavy weight on the
shoulders of the executive. Why?
Because the Constitution has qualified
the circumstances in which the
President should use the power.
Not just executive act
The legislative powers of the President
to promulgate ordinances during the
recess of Parliament bind the President
with innumerable cautions, which are
spelled out in the Constitution, Article
123, under the head: Legislative
Powers of the President. If a draft ordi-
nance has been forwarded to the
President, the promulgation of which is
required during a recess of Parliament,
then how much and with what objectiv-
ity, due care and caution the President
has to look into the Ordinance is spelled
out by this provision of the Constitution.
The Constitution puts an obligation on
the President that if he is satisfied that cir-
cumstances exist that render it necessary
for him to take immediate action, then he
may promulgate as the circumstances
appear to him to require that action may
be considered under his legislative pow-
ers. Each phrase in this Article is preg-
nant with meaning. Ordinance is a leg-
islative act, not an executive act. The
sending of the draft Ordinance to the
President may be an executive act, but
not when the President is obliged to con-
sider it. The President exercises legisla-
tive powers within the contemplation of
the Constitution. No one can question the
President if he takes each factor men-
tioned in Article 123 to assess for himself
whether he will pick up his pen to sign on
the draft forwarded so that it becomes an
Ordinance. This Article on two occasions
uses the phrase for him he must
consider the constraints under which he
permits his seal to be put as his legislative
power. The objectivity of the President to
abide by the Constitution, his conscience
to weigh each factor in the Article, is not
less than that of a Judge when he renders
a decision under the oath he has taken
under the Constitution.
Ordinance Raj
In India, history shows how destruc-
tive government by Ordinance can be.
More than 40 years ago, governments
in various states resorted to the exer-
cise of legislative powers of the
Governors to promulgate Ordinances
during the recesses of state legisla-
tures. By Ordinance, municipal corpo-
rations, municipalities, zila parishads,
town area committees, panchayats and
mandi parishads were all superseded
en masse. On each of these institu-
tions, a bureaucrat sat.
When the experience of democracy at
the local level is lost, the citizen of the
republic is in the hands of the marauders
of power, unbridled and unquestioned.
In states where such ordinances were
issued the citizen forgot his civil rights.
When the Emergency was proclaimed
in 1975, he was virtually told he had no
civil rights. Whom could he complain
to? Lackeys sat on the chair of institu-
tions of local self-government, exercis-
ing the powers of the people who were
meant to participate in a fully functional
democracy. The freedoms guaranteed
by the Constitution were taken away by
one stroke of the sword.
When matters related to the loss of
local government went to the Supreme
Court, the court was exasperated and
termed such state-run governments as
Ordinance Raj. Finally the matters
caused enough concern to be debated in
Parliament, and amendments were
made to the Constitution. But shameful-
ly, though the Constitution was amend-
ed more than two decades ago, grass-
roots democratic bodies, whether pan-
chayats or municipalities, are not func-
tional in their true content and meaning,
except in a few states. The fabric of the
Constitution is experienced in the run-
ning of the country. The experience of
local self-government has been lost. A
generation grew up without this experi-
ence. This is the end result of govern-
ment by decree, called by the Supreme
Court as Ordinance Raj.
The purpose of reflecting on these
mistakes of utilisation of Ordinance
powers is to show how harmful these
can be. It puts fissures and cracks in the
Constitution and the form of govern-
ment it envisions.
Embarrassment to President
If an exercise was undertaken to intro-
duce a Bill in Parliament, to eclipse the
decision of the Supreme Court, then
clearly the Bill was pending considera-
tion. In the normal course of
Parliamentary procedure there would be
recourse to a Standing Committee and
further discussion before Parliament. To
take recourse to the path of Ordinance
and seek the legislative power of the
President is not being fair to the President
or the citizens of the Republic of India.
Abandoning a Bill pending consideration
in Parliament and taking recourse to a
backdoor method to have it legislated by
Ordinance may be an adventure on the
fringe of Breach of Privilege of the
Houses of Parliament and a coup de
grace to the trust in Parliament.
It was a shabby exercise in mediocrity,
of a badly timed use of misplaced
power. It has left the parliamentarians
not in government in a quandary to rec-
oncile with recourse to two powers on
the same subject matter, a double-bar-
relled approach. A Bill is pending in
Parliament and simultaneously resort
has been taken to invoke the legislative
powers of the President. This must be
embarrassing to the President.
There is a lesson to be learnt in the his-
tory of parliamentary democracy. On
things that can wait and in the ordinary
procedures of Parliament be introduced
as Bills, the opportunity cannot be
denied to the Opposition to express their
views. After all, it will only be a debate
in Parliament which will carry the
motion on the introduced Bill if it is to
become law. If the majority fails, then
so be it. But a sneaky attempt to resort to
promulgation of Ordinance when a Bill
may be pending on the same subject,
awaiting Parliament to convene, dis-
graces the Constitution.
The writer is a former high court
chief justice.
The sending of draft Ordinance to the President may be an executive act, but not when the President is obliged to consider it.
The President exercises legislative powers. He can also call for a joint sitting of the Houses to take up a Bill.

Hill cut down illegally
along Dharamsala road
LALIT MOHAN
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
DHARAMSALA, OCTOBER 7
A hill is being illegally cut
down along the Gaggal-
Dharamsala state highway, 7
km from the district head-
quarters, right under the nose
of the district administration.
The loose soil and rocks
along the highway are posing
a threat to commuters and a
nearby rivulet where these
are being dumped.
Though the PWD authori-
ties in Dharamsala had lodged
an FIR against the damage to
public property (state high-
way) due to the illegal cutting
down of the hill, no action has
been taken to stop it.
PWD Executive Engineer
Vijay Chaudhary at Dharam-
sala said he had issued a
notice to people using JCBs
to cut the hill. When they did
not respond to the notice, the
authorities filed an FIR
against them.
"The illegal activity has
caused a damage of Rs 4 lakh
to the state highway. We will
recover the amount from the
accused," the Executive Engi-
neer said. The illegal activity
was largely taking place at
night. The soil and boulders
were falling on the state high-
way and obstructing traffic.
The accused were also dump-
ing loose soil downhill along
the road into the rivulet pass-
ing through the area.
A few policemen had
reportedly visited the spot
after an FIR was registered
against the accused, but the
illegal cutting down of the
hill continues unabated. A
PWD official said they traced
the owner of the land to
Palampur. After the notice
was sent to him, the owner
challenged the authorities
that it was his land and he
could do anything in the area.
However, even if it is pri-
vate land, one has to take per-
mission from the PWD and
forest authorities before rais-
ing any structure or carrying
out any construction activity
along the road. Moreover,
dumping into natural rivulets
is banned.
The PWD authorities said
the cutting down of a portion
of the hill could also damage
the adjoining hills and pose a
threat to commuters on the
road due to loose rocks
falling from the hill.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SHIMLA, OCTOBER 7
Arun Dhumal, son of BJP
leader PK Dhumal, today
refuted allegations of any
wrongdoing in the land pur-
chase made in Dharamsala, in
which an FIR had been reg-
istered against him and his
MP brother Anurag Thakur.
"I have been compelled to
hold the first press conference
of my life as all sorts of alle-
gations are being made about
the land purchase made by
me and my elder brother,
which I would like to clarify,"
he told mediapersons.
He said the news reports
appearing in the media were
incorrect as they had neither
forged any documents nor
made seller of the land
Premu landless.
An FIR has been registered
by the Vigilance Bureau
against Arun and Anurag. The
case pertains to purchase of 32
marlas of land at a cost of Rs
3.60 lakh. The sale deed was
registered on January 17,
2008, in the office of Sub-
Registrar in Dharamsala.
He distributed documen-
tary evidence of the land
deal, including the sale deed
and an affidavit by the sell-
er Premu that he had not
been rendered landless.
The affidavit also mentions
that the stipulated period of
15 years during which he
could not sell the land had
also got over. Premu in the
affidavit has mentioned that
the land was given to him on
December 7, 1992.
He said the fact that nobody
was aware of the complainant
or the basis of the FIR clearly
raised questions on the inten-
tion of the Vigilance Bureau.

SHIMLA, OCTOBER 7
Chief Minister Virbhadra
Singh today said the con-
struction on all four parking
projects here should be
speeded up and proposals for
creating more parking places
should be prepared.
Presiding over a review
meeting of "Parkings and
Comprehensive Mobility
Plan" project here, he said
under-construction parking
projects at Sanjauli (400 vehi-
cles), Chhota Shimla (250
vehicles), lift (700 vehicles)
and Vikas Nagar (175 vehi-
cles) should be completed
soon. He said two floors of
Sanjauli parking would be
completed by January while
Chhota Shimla car parking
should be completed within a
year. He directed officers to fix
the time limit for the comple-
tion of other two under-con-
struction parkings.
The Municipal Corporation
had identified 71 sites for park-
ings of over 5,000 vehicles
and these should be construct-
ed under the Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) mode. He
said the parking facility for
350 vehicles would be con-
structed at new IGMC hospital.
Virbhadra said there were
55,000 registered vehicles in
Shimla and 1,769 of them were
parked on the streets and 512
on off-street parking space.
He said a Comprehensive
Mobility Plan (CMP) had
been prepared for the town to
address traffic growth with
action for achieving the
objectives for sustainable
multi-model transport sys-
tem for the city.
APersonal Rapid Transit sys-
tem would be introduced in the
town to decongest the traffic.
He said it would be set up on
Circular Road at a cost of Rs
750 crore on Design Built and
Operate Transfer bases to avoid
the traffic congestion.
Virbhadra directed the MC
authority to take the services of
expert conservation architect
Ved Segan for the renovation
of town hall building.
Plan to set up
solar power
plants, lights
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SHIMLA, OCTOBER 7
The government has drawn
up a plan to set up solar
power plants in major office
complexes and police sta-
tions and install solar lights.
Giving this information here
today, Power Minister Sujan
Singh Pathania said Himurja
would set up 4-kw solar
power plants at all the district
Secretariats and 2-kw plants at
all 219 police stations.
He said a 6-kw solar plant
had already been set up at the
state Secretariat here. Besides,
a 10-kw solar plant had been
established at the Ransar
island in the Pong reservoir
and 2-kw plant and 200-kw
plant at Baru Sahib.
Pathania was speaking
after inaugurating the two-
day Green Energy Fair
organised as a part of World
Wildlife Week by the WWF-
India in association with
Himurja and the local
Municipal Corporation.
He said the solar city plan for
Shimla had already been
approved and 1,000 solar
streetlights would be soon
installed in the city.
The solar plan for Hamirpur
had also been formulated and
likely to be approved shortly.
Chief Executive Officer of
the Himurja Bhanu Pratap
Singh said the Centre had
sanctioned 10,000 solar
lanterns for Kinnaur district
which would go a long way,
ensuring uninterrupted power
in the far-flung areas.
Dharmani to
forgo facilities
of CPS
OUR CORRESPONDENT
BILASPUR, OCTOBER 7
Rajesh Dharmani, Chief
Parliamentary Secretary
(CPS), who resigned earli-
er and later withdrew it,
has expressed anguish
over the news items pub-
lished in local dailies
regarding his resignation
and its reasons.
Talking to mediapersons
here today, Dharmani was
critical of a few journalists
who never talked to him, yet
wrote stories by putting
words into my mouth, prob-
ably under the guidance of
our able friends.
Dharmani said he had been
feeling uncomfortable for
several months as he had not
been given any responsibili-
ty. He said that was why he
had now decided to forgo all
facilities and not accept any
salary of the CPS, bungalow
and government cars.
He said,"I will accept the
office in the Secretariat as it
is meant for people and I still
believe that I might be of
some use to people and vot-
ers through this office."
He denied that he had
resigned to put any pressure
for any ministerial berth or
for getting any better posi-
tion, nor it was any politi-
cal drama.

AJAY BANERJEE/TNS
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
It has been four days since mil-
itants holed up along the Line
of Control (LoC) in the Keran
sector have fired a shot. An
internal assessment of the
Army is that three sq km area
may be dumped with war-like
stores of ammunition, guns
and bombs.
Troops on the ground aided
by a small unit of the para-
commandos and armed with
equipment to detect ammuni-
tion have been tasked to comb
the area thoroughly. The fact
that militants had survived at an
altitude of 10,000 feet for so
long means they were well-
equipped and well-stocked
with dry rations.
Troops have been instructed
to move with caution. The area
has dense forest. There could
be mines and also other wire-
traps that could trigger blasts
leading to needless casualties.
Even a dead body of a militant
could be a booby-trap to cause
deaths. Four Indian Army
jawans have been injured so
far. The dense jungle provide
ideal hiding ground. The
mountains are jagged which
hold the possibility of natural
crevices which could have
been used to dump stores.
The fact that terrorist have
not fired a shot in four days
does not mean that they have
gone back to Pakistan. This
could very well be a ploy to
entice troops deeper within the
forests, said sources.
Indian Army is in a dominat-
ing position from all sides. The
terrorists are holed up, but the
terrain is undulating and is very
treacherous with four nallahs
criss-crossing the areas.
The location is peculiar. It is
west of the Shamshabari ridge
that will soon be under snow
closing all ingress routes. The
268th infantry Brigade is head-
quartered at Pharkian Gali
while a battalion of the Army
is stationed between the ridge-
line and the LoC - a distance of
some 12-15 km.

changed assuring the court that
his client would maintain sta-
tus quo on its own. The peti-
tionerscounsel told the bench
that 52 acres of agriculture land
was allotted to MLAs, sitting
and former, in 2007 who, in
turn, gave it to the company
after bargaining for a flat and
Rs 80 lakh to each of them.
Contending that the project
was in the catchment area of
the lake, they said this would
make the lake dry up. Singhvi
disputed the argument.
Allowing the construction of
19 towers with 7 to 28 stories
each would prove to be cata-
strophic, the petitioners plead-
ed. The Bench clarified that sta-
tus quo would cover even pro-
cessing of the companys appli-
cations for clearances.

militants fighting
the Army?
From page 1
The 20 Kumao regiment had
informed the Army head-
quarters about this large-
scale incursion. In fact, it
was after the unit informed
the Army headquarters about
the large infiltration that they
were shifted from the sector.
And when a unit of 3/3
Gorkha Rifles on Septem-
ber 24, launched a search to
flush out the militants in Sha-
labhato, the large number of
hiding militants opened fire
on the troops. In the initial
gunfight, Army said, they
noticed bodies of 12 mili-
tants lying at the encounter
site, the sources said.
Since then Army has not
been able to recover any
body from the site, he added
The sources said that it was
possible that militants might
have pulled these bodies
back to the PoK. However,
Armys top Kashmir Com-
mander Lt Gen Gurmit Singh
had said recently that it was
unlikely to have happened.

KERAN SHOWDOWN
From page 1
the latter came back with reams
of papers, procured from the
Revenue Department, on land
deals between Congress gener-
al secretary Fateh Jung Bajwa
and Khaira, and those involv-
ing his brother and Punjab
Pradesh Congress Committee
president Partap Singh Bajwa
and the latters kin.
The Congress leaders have
been accused of selling land
in Mullanpur near Chandi-
garh at the existing market
rates, but getting the sale
deeds registered for land
bought here at much lower
prices than the market rates to
avoid paying stamp duty.
Earlier, Congress spokesper-
son Sukhpal Khaira alleged
that NK Sharma had not only
evaded paying stamp duty by
changing the nature of land he
was buying, but of also under-
valuing the price of this land.
Khaira said that Sharma was
constructing a mega housing
project on 11 acres in Zirakpur.
Information obtained
through Right to Information
Act reveals that Sharmas
company, VN Sharma
Builders Pvt Ltd, has got his
land registered as chahi
(agricultural) land in March
2013 whereas the revenue
records (fard girdawri) show
that about 650 flats had
already been constructed on
this land in 2012-13.
Since this land was no
longer agricultural land, he
should have got it registered as
residential land. However,
since the land registration
charges and stamp duty on
agricultural land is much less
than on residential land, he
evaded paying additional
stamp duty to the tune of Rs
4.5 crore, Khaira said.
Khaira also alleged that
Sharmas company, in which
he is director, also undervalued
the land, showing its value as
just Rs 25 crore, to pay less
stamp duty on it.
Sharma categorically
denied that he had either
evaded stamp duty or under-
valued the land, maintaining
that he had struck a deal to
buy agricultural land measur-
ing 9.137 acres in 2010 and
had the consent letters from
the original land owners to
use the land commercially.
We had also applied for
change in land use (CLU) and
paid the external development
charges (EDC) within months
of buying this land.
He said that he was open to
any investigation as his deal-
ings were above board.
Fateh Jung Bajwa sold a 13
kanal and nine marla plot to
Khaira in Karoran village of
Mohali at the rate of Rs 31
lakh per acre though the mar-
ket price was Rs 2 crore per
acre. Audit objections have
been raised on this land deal
and Khaira is facing an
inquiry, Sharma said.
Meanwhile, Fateh Jung
Bajwa said, In Bharojian, I
exchanged my property with a
piece of land in Delhi so we
gave the exchange rate on
papers. In the case of proper-
ty of Pratap Bajwa, it was
basically a forest land which
even we did not know at the
time of purchase. Since it can-
not be used for normal agricul-
ture or construction, its land
value was very less.
CM WRITES TO PM
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah told the Assembly that he had
written to the Prime Minister on the VK Singhs remarks. In the
letter, he sought the charges to be probed in order to arrive at
truth which can be shared with the general public

EACHERS play a very important role
in the life of students. They are like bea-
cons of light, guiding students in the
formative years of their life. They mould students
and shape their future. The education imparted
by them remains with students throughout their
life. However, very often, society fails to show
its appreciation and gratitude for this devotion.
Teachers do need encouragement and support
from the community to make them feel that their
efforts are being recognised.
According to Indian philosophy, knowledge
cannot be acquired without the support and
blessings of the guru who is the academic and
spiritual guide. The guru removes darkness of
ignorance and enlightens society. In fact, there
is no equivalent alternative word for guru in
any other language. The word teacher in
English makes only a limited sense, and nor-
mally refers to a classroom teacher engaged in
formal education. The Indian community
realised the importance of the teacher long back
and cultivated a custom to honour the guru by
celebrating the festival Guru Purnima in hon-
our of the great sage Vyasa. Of late, the world
society also realised this fact, with the result
that the concept of Teachers Day evolved in
several countries in the modern era.
Teachers Day is considered to be a special day
for the appreciation of teachers. It may include
celebrations to honour them for their contribu-
tions in a particular area or the community in
general. The idea of celebrating Teachers Day
took ground independently in many countries
during the 20th century. In most cases the cele-
bration is associated with a local educational
personality or achievement of an important
milestone in education. This is why the countries
celebrate this day on different dates, unlike
many other international days. At present, over
100 countries mark this event to pay respect to
the teaching community, but on different dates.
The UNESCO observes the World Teachers
Day on October 5, which is officially celebrat-
ed across the world since 1994. Several coun-
tries like Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Canada, Estonia,
Germany, Lithuania, Macedonia, Maldives,
Mauritius, Republic of Moldova, Netherlands,
Pakistan, Philippines, Kuwait, Qatar, Romania,
Russia, Serbia, and the UK follow this date.
Our country celebrates Teachers Day on Sep-
tember 5 every year since 1962 to honour the
teaching community for their immense contri-
bution to the nation and society. This particular
date is the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakr-
ishnan, the second President of India and an
extremely respected scholar and teacher of phi-
losophy. Dr Radhakrishnan was a great freedom
fighter, an educationist, an orator, a writer, a
statesman and a diplomat.
Teachers Day is looked forward to by the
teachers and students alike. The day is celebrat-
ed in academia in different forms. There is
organisation of academic activities by students,
special games for teachers, sharing of teaching-
learning experiences, cultural programmes,
felicitating teachers by offering them garlands
and flower bouquets and even gifts, etc. This
is a good way of building and maintaining
healthy relationship between students and
teachers. Teachers Day is also the occasion
when one can look back, recall, admire and get
inspired by great teachers and mentors who
devoted themselves to society.
On this day a large number of teachers select-
ed from various fields of education are invited
by the President and honoured with the Nation-
al Award, which includes a certificate of recog-
nition along with a cash prize. The National
Award for teachers is a great honour for those
of the humble profession. Selection for this
award is generally made on the basis of many
considerations such as teachers personal char-
acter and conduct, professional competence,
sociability, participation in extracurricular
activities, the academic results produced, pro-
fessional contribution as a writer and as a
researcher in education, the efforts made to
eradicate illiteracy, the public support received
to build infrastructure for the institution, etc.
Thus, the selection of teachers for the Nation-
al Award is very competitive, and only excep-
tionally meritorious ones can make it to this
honour. Besides the national awards, the state
awards and the awards by the National Foun-
dation for Teachers are also given. In some dis-
tricts, district-level awards are also given to
encourage sincere teachers.
Honour for dedicated teachers through awards
is really a commendable step for encouragement
to teachers for their contribution to society.
However, over the decades, the spirit to honour
through awards has become mechanical, and the
selection process for the awardee teachers has
got vitiated to some extent .The original idea of
involving society at large to recognise this
noble profession is missing.
It is true that in our ancient society teachers
once enjoyed a place of honour next to the
mother and father. However, due to growing
materialism and the erosion of values the teach-
ing community is no longer held in high esteem.
However, despite all odds, there are teachers
who are respected and loved for their selfless
service. Most teachers may not get recognition
and awards, but the social respect they com-
mand is an award in itself. A good teacher is
always remembered by all sincere students.

Teachers need encouragement and support from society to make them feel that their

Kids relationships with TV characters may
enhance their scientific skills
WASHINGTON: Researchers are investigating if relationships formed
by kids with media characters like Dora the Explorer or Elmo help
them learn science, technology, engineering and mathematical
(STEM). Rebekah Richert, Associate Professor of Psychology at the
University of California, Riverside, said many people are involved in
designing educational games, and there is a lot of interest in creat-
ing high-quality and interactive media. On the surface they seem like-
ly to help children learn. But there can be big gaps between what tech-
nology offers and what children really learn. In a series of studies
with children ages 18 months to 6 years, the researchers will exam-
ine how toddlers and preschoolers learn from educational media and
how that can support STEM education. Among the questions the
NSF-funded project will attempt to answer is which characters or types
of characters in childrens media like the popular Dora the Explor-
er, created for Nickelodeon, or Sesame Streets Elmo could be
used to stimulate STEM learning. The psychologists also will con-
duct a workshop at Northwestern in spring 2014 involving experts in
science education, computer-game design, and television learning
for children to consider how best to direct future research to achieve
the greatest impact on educational television programmes and com-
puter games. Richert said at the end of five years, they hope to be
able to provide information about or be actively involved in design-
ing high-quality television programmes and games that are most like-
ly to engage children in STEM learning.
Too much onscreen violence turning
teens aggressive
SYDNEY: Anew study suggests that heavy exposure to screen vio-
lence in adolescence is changing the development of young peo-
ples brains, which is leading to increased aggression and reckless
behaviour and decreased empathy. Evidence presented at the Aus-
tralian Council on Children and the media conference in Sydney
showed brain-imaging studies, which recorded the way violent mate-
rial changes brain activation in the short term and brain function in
the long term. According to research presented by Dr Wayne War-
burton, Deputy Director of the Children and Families Research Cen-
tre at Macquarie University, experiencing screen violence reduces
the development of the frontal lobe, which is responsible for
impulse control and inhibits aggression, the Sydney Morning Her-
ald reported. Exposure to violent material also activates the brains
limbic system, which is responsible for emotional response and
memory. Dr Warburton said images of violence could be stored in
the brain in the same way that post-traumatic stress disorder
patients store memories of trauma. Violent films and games such
as Grand Theft Auto and World of Warcraft also activate the
brains right hemisphere, which controls negative feelings such as
anger, jealousy and sadness. The impact on the brain is cumula-
tive, with the heavier the exposure, the more severe the changes.
Dr Michael Nagel, Associate Professor of Education at the Univer-
sity of the Sunshine Coast, said the two most vulnerable periods
in brain development were in early childhood and puberty. The peak
age for video game usage is from 11-14 years. ANI

Work on GIS laboratory to begin soon
W
ITH the Department of Science and Technology, Government of
India, releasing the first instalment of Rs 16 lakh to the universi-
tys Department of Environment, work to set up a Geographic
Information System (GIS) laboratory would soon begin. A sum of Rs 36 lakh
has been approved for the project and the first instalment of Rs 16 lakh has
been released now, informed Dr Satish Bhardwaj, Head, Department of
Environment. This project has been granted under the Fund for Infrastruc-
ture Development in Science and Technology (DST) and will help the uni-
versity scientists in developing database for carrying out various research-
related activities in various environmental aspects. The Department of Envi-
ronment, which was set up in 2008, has sent five more projects to DST this
year for undertaking research work.
Solar radiation resource assessment
Asolar radiation resource assessment system has been developed in the uni-
versitys state-level energy park in collaboration with the Centre for Wind Ener-
gy Technology, Chennai. An automatic weather station has been developed
in this park where activities like solar radiation measurement would be under-
taken by assessing various parameters which contribute to global warming.
This centre would be centrally linked to Chennai and will help the university
prepare research projects for various weather-related atmospheric phenom-
enon. Set up at a cost of Rs 28 lakh, this centre will help the agrarian com-
munity in getting benefit from weather predictions and related data. The cen-
ter, which is being set up at various places across the country by the Ministry
of News and Renewable Energy, is the first in the state while another centre
would be set up at the State Agriculture University, Palampur. The centre would
be centrally linked to Chennai and the scientists would be able to assess data
from the other regions as well to assist in research activities.
Workshop to develop packages of practices
A two-day workshop to develop packages of practice in horticulture and flori-
culture will be held in the university from October 8 to October 9. This work-
shop will draw experts from floriculture and horticulture from all over the state.
The experts will deliberate on the various practices to be adopted by the farm-
ing community of the state. The deliberations will lead to recommendations
which will be debated upon by the experts and packages of practices will be
developed in these two key fields after thoroughly deliberating their pros and
cons. Apart from the experts, progressive farmers will also participate in this
workshop to thrash out the packages which will be later disseminated to the
farming community in the state. This workshop is being held after several years
in the university and is being conducted by the Directorate of Extension Edu-
cation. Minister for Horticulture Vidya Stokes will be the chief guest on the inau-
gural day of the workshop, for which elaborate arrangements are being made
by the university. With about 89 per cent of the state's population residing in
rural areas and farming being their major occupation, such package of prac-
tices help obliterate obsolete farming practices and introduce new techniques
which can enhance yield and give optimum results to an farmer.

LONDON: Doctors in Britain have been informed that they can

it would be lawful, the country's top prosecutor said on Monday,

Come up with N-proposals: US to Iran
INDONESIA, OCTOBER 7
US Secretary of State John
Kerry today urged Iran to
come up with new
nuclear proposals, rebuffing
Tehran's position that the
onus is now on foreign pow-
ers to unblock the long-run-
ning impasse.
Iran's Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif
said yesterday that the pre-
vious foreign offer, made
by the P5+1 group at two
meetings in the Kazakh
capital of Almaty before the
June election of moderate
President Hassan Rouhani,
was no longer valid.
But Kerry, while welcom-
ing recent overtures,
including a historic contact
between Rouhani and US
President Barack Obama,
said the ball remained in
Irans court.
The group of six put a
proposal on the table at
Almaty and I don't believe
as of yet Iran has fully
responded to that particular
proposal. So I think we are
waiting for the fullness of
the Iranian difference in
their approach now, he told
reporters in Indonesia after
meeting Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov.
So what we need are a set
of proposals from Iran that
will fully disclose how they
will show the world that their
programme is peaceful.
Western powers and Israel
have long accused Iran of
seeking to develop nuclear
bombs in the guise of a
civilian programme,
charges Tehran has always
vehemently denied the pro-
posals made in Almaty
required Iran to suspend
uranium enrichment at the
20 percent level it says it
needs for a medical
research reactor, and to halt
enrichment at its under-
ground plant at Fordo near
the central city of Qom.
EU foreign policy chief
Catherine Ashton, who rep-
resents the six powers in
the talks, said last month
that she was still waiting
for Iran's response to those
previous proposals. But
Zarif said that Rouhani's
election had changed the
dynamics.
The previous offer by the
P5+1 is history and they
should come to the negoti-
ating table with a new
approach, the ISNA news
agency quoted him as say-
ing yesterday, while renew-
ing his insistence that a deal
could be reached to address
the concerns of both sides.
A new round of talks is
due in mid-October in
Geneva between Iran and
the P5+1, comprising the
five UN Security
Council permanent mem-
bers Britain, China,
France, Russia and the
United States plus
Germany. AFP
PRAISES SYRIA
US Secretary of State
John Kerry on Monday
said Syrian leader Bashar
al-Assad could take
credit for starting the
process of destroying his
regime's chemical
weapons. PTI
We are waiting for
the change in Irans
approach. What we
need is a set of new
proposals from Iran that
shows their programme
is peaceful.

MOSCOW, OCTOBER 7
Russia has installed an all-
encompassing surveillance
system at the site of next
year`s Winter Olympic
Games in Sochi that will
allow security services to
listen in on athletes and vis-
itors, security analysts said
on Monday.
The surveillance system
was first developed by the
Soviet-era KGB, predeces-
sor of the FSB special serv-
ices, in the mid-1980s and
updated in recent years,
said prominent security
analyst Andrei Soldatov.
Dubbed SORM, the sys-
tem will give Russian secu-
rity services free access to
all phone and Internet com-
munications at the Olympic
Games in February without
the providers` knowledge,
according to research by
Soldatov and his colleague
Irina Borogan.
Telecom providers are
required to pay for the
SORM equipment and its
installation, but law enforce-
ment agencies will be able to
wiretap without having to
show providers court orders
allowing the eavesdropping,
the analysts said.
Operators do not know
what and when the FSB is
monitoring, Soldatov said.
Citing research based on
documents published by the
Russian government pro-
curement agency and other
government records, the
analysts said the authorities
have been installing the sur-
veillance devices in the
Black Sea resort of Sochi
since 2010.
Russia has pulled out all
the stops to get the subtrop-
ic region ready for the
Games, spending more than
$50 billion in state and cor-
porate money on infrastruc-
ture improvements includ-
ing mobile networks. PTI

PATIALA, OCTOBER 7
The Punjab Education
Minister and president of the
Punjab Kabaddi Association
Sikander Singh Maluka has
assured that Patiala will be
one of the venues of the
World Kabaddi Cup.
While the Punjab Sports
Department had removed
Patiala from the final list of
venues for this years match-
es, Maluka said they will
certainly be holding a match
in Patiala but the venue for
the match will be changed.
Earlier, the Punjab
Government had excluded
Patiala, citing low footfall
during the third edition of the
World Cup as the reason
behind the decision.
Last year, following the
last minute cancellation of
the match between the
Indian mens team and
Afghanistan on the inaugural
day of the World Cup at YPS
Stadium, Patiala, more than
half of the viewers left the
venue when the news spread.
However, sources alleged
that the decision was com-
pletely political. Patiala was
being considered for the
matches, but the Deputy
Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh
Badal asked them to change
the venue since Patiala was a
Congress stronghold.
Maluka, who is also the
Patiala district incharge of
SAD, said during last years
World Cup, the number of
people coming to see the
matches was less than in
any other city and therefore
they had not considered
Patiala. He said YPS stadi-
um usually is unable to
draw much crowd because
of its location.

NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
Throwing their weight behind
an embattled Jwala Gutta, sev-
eral former players have
described the Badminton
Association of India discipli-
nary committees recommen-
dation of life ban on the star
doubles player as ridiculous
and harsh.
It is very harsh decision. I
think BAI could have dealt
with it in a quieter way, with-
out going to the press and
defaming her , former nation-
al champion Arvind Bhat said.
I dont know exactly what
she said during the IBLmatch
but whatever it is, life ban rec-
ommendation is too harsh.
They could have just warned
her. Moreover, she is the
spokesperson of the Delhi
team and as an icon player, she
spoke on behalf of her team. It
was a team decision.
In a surprise decision, BAI
disciplinary committee rec-
ommended a life ban on Jwala
for trying to stop some players
of her franchise, Krrish Delhi
Smashers, from playing a
match against Banga Beats in
the Indian Badminton League.
Indias top mens doubles
players K T Rupesh Kumar
and Sanave Thomas, who
played for Pune Pistons in IBL,
also said it was ridiculous and
will affect Indian badminton.
It is ridiculous. Life ban is
too much. Whatever delay
happened, only Jwala cant
suffer for that. It was kind of
unfair what happened at the
last moment. Anyone in her
place would have reacted,
Rupesh said.
His mens doubles partner
Sanave Thomas said: I dont
agree with this recommenda-
tion. She is an experienced
player, who has performed
consistently over the years.
Along with V Diju and Ash-
wini Ponnappa, she has pulled
off so many matches. Life ban
will be too harsh. PTI
Former players support Jwala, call

NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 7
Samajwadi Party chief
Mulayam Singh Yadav today
ruled out formation of a Third
Front ahead of the 2014 Lok
Sabha elections, saying differ-
ences could crop up among
various parties on ticket distri-
bution, if it takes shape now.
He, however, reiterated that
the Third Front would be
formed after elections and
claimed the next Prime
Minister would be from
among the alliance partners.
The Third Front formation
is not possible now, as differ-
ences can crop up among par-
ties on ticket distribution and
seat sharing, he told
reporters here.
Mulayam said all political
parties of the proposed
alliance would contest poll on
their own strength and then
get together after the next
General Election.
He said his party was in
touch with CPM leader
Prakash Karat and CPI leader
AB Bardhan over the Third
Front formation after poll and
had an understanding on that.
We feel the Third Front
government should come to
power at the Centre. The
countrys next Prime Minister
will be a Third Front candi-
date, he said.
Mulayam, who has been
spearheading the cause of a
Third Front government and
aspiring for the top post, said
neither the BJP nor the
Congress would be able to
form the government.
Asked who would be the
Third Front prime ministerial
candidate, Mulayam said
only one prime ministerial
candidate had been
announced so far, in an appar-
ent reference to BJPs
Narendra Modi.
But, the Third Front candi-
date will be the next Prime
Minister of the country, he
claimed.

COLOMBO, OCTOBER 7
India today sought meaning-
ful devolution of power by Sri
Lanka and early resumption
of dialogue to facilitate "gen-
uine reconciliation" in Tamil-
inhabited areas of the country.
On his first visit here,
External Affairs Minister
Salman Khurshid raised the
issue of reconciliation dur-
ing his meeting with his Sri
Lankan counterpart GL
Peiris at the Ministry of
External Affairs.
During a joint news con-
ference with Peiris, he
called for meaningful
devolution of power to
provinces, including Tamil-
inhabited areas in the north.
India has been consistent
in calling for an early politi-
cal settlement and national
reconciliation through
meaningful devolution of
powers, so to ensure that all
citizens of Sri Lanka,
including the Sri Lankan
Tamil community, would
lead a life marked by equal-
ity, justice, dignity and self-
respect," Khurshid said.
India hopes that the
vision and leadership that
resulted in an end to armed
conflict and holding of
elections to the Northern
Province will now be
employed to work for gen-
uine reconciliation, he
added. PTI

now, only after
polls: Mulayam

crop up among parties
on ticket distribution and
seat sharing.
