Chandigarh, September 20, 2018:
With a view to ensure safety of women while driving, wearing helmet  is mandatory for women also  riding two-wheelers in Haryana.
While giving details, an official spokesperson of the Haryana Transport Department said that the decision has been taken following directions from Punjab and Haryana High Court to ensure compliance by the enforcement agencies or challaning officers as per provisions under Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 and rules under Haryana Motor Vehicle Rules, 1993.
He said that every person driving or riding two wheeler of any class or description should wear a protective headgear approved by Bureau of Indian Standards form time to time. And the violators would be challaned by the department. Though persons who are medically advised by Chief Medical Officers not to wear such headgear or a Sikh while driving or riding two wheelers in public places, wearing a turban is exempted from wearing the headgear.
He said that the transport department would also launch rigorous campaign for checking and would organize Road Safety Awareness Programs to make people aware about importance of wearing helmets.
Meanwhile, the Transport Department challaned  4,03,907 two wheeler riders and 1,50,855 challans to pillion riders  for not wearing protective headgears(helmet) during the current year from January to July 2018. Out of these 11,309 challans have been issued to the women during May, 2018  and June 2018 for not wearing the headgear. Such campaigns to ensure compliance of this rule would continue, he added.

SAD demands registration of case and arrest of Muktsar SSP

Announces SAD president Sukhbir Badal will not apply for bail in false case

 Demands action against Cong leaders and officers who became party to booth capturing. Apprehends mischief during counting of ballots of samiti and parishad elections. Demands videography

 Chandigarh, September 20 :

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today demanded immediately registration of case and arrest of Muktsar SSP Manjit Singh Dhesi for organizing booth capturing in the block samiti and zila parishad polls even as it announced that the party would continue to fight for the rights of the people and that SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal would not file for anticipatory bail in the political vendetta case registered against him.

Addressing a press conference here, senior SAD leaders Bikram Singh Majithia, Maheshinder Singh Grewal and Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said the Muktsar SSP, who was a real brother of the chief minister’s OSD Sonu Dhesi, had given directions to the district police to help Congress workers capture booths as per the command of his political masters. They said this was the reason why out of the total 54 booths in which polling had been ordered, 54 were from Muktsar district and 11 from Lambi constituency alone. “Despite such large scale booth capturing no case was registered against a single Congress worker or officer. This indicts Manjit Dhesi and he should be punished appropriately for muzzling the voice of democracy and allowing gangsters a free run of Muktsar district to do as they pleased”.

Explaining the entire issue, Mr Maheshinder Grewal said five times chief minister S Parkash Singh Badal went to the spot at Killianwali in Muktsar upon getting information about booth capturing after ringing the State DGP eight times and the IG two times. “Mr Badal chose to go to the people after appeals made to the State police failed to produce any results. He was accompanied by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal”.

Ripping apart the false and fabricated case registered against the SAD president, Mr Grewal said the complainant Jatinderpal was the real brother of Congress candidate Ravinderpal Rammi. He said the FIR did not mention any hurt caused and there was no medical report even though this section had been added. “Even the supposed victims are shown to be from Maur which proves our contention that outsiders were used to capture booths in Lambi. Further the complainant says he knows most of the supposed aggressors but the case has been registered against unidentified persons”. He said all this proved that the government had pre-decided to register a case against Mr Sukhbir Badal as part of the political vendetta drive unleashed by it against the SAD. We on our part will not be cowed down by such tactics and will continue to fight for peace and communal harmony in Punjab”, he added.

Senior leader Dr Daljit Cheema disclosed that cent per cent booth capturing in which Akali workers were ousted from booths had occurred at 164 places. He said the SEC was forced to order repoll in 54 places following pressure from people. “Despite this no case has been registered against any Congress minister, legislator or worker for indulging in this goondaism. He said even in cases where complaints had been submitted like that against ASI Daljit Singh in Lambi on September 14 no action had been taken. “This ASI was captured on CCTV footage yesterday while talking with Congress goons”. He said even Congress minister Gurpreet Kangar and another minister Brahm Mohindra’s personal assistant were seen capturing booths and polling bogus votes respectively.

Dr Cheema said the SAD was providing all this information to the Station Election Commission so that responsibility for the same could be fixed. He said the SAD also apprehended that there would be more irregularities during counting as officers had got SAD candidates to sign poll result forms in advance. “These forms should be re-issued with changed proforma. The entire counting process should also be videographed”, he added.

Mr Bikram Majithia gave details about SSP Dhesi, saying the officer had been shown extreme largesse by repeated Congress governments and how he had become an SSP after being recruited as a constable under Sports quota despite having no laurels in the field of sports to his credit. He said Dhesi had been made an ASI after getting two promotions in a single year and later made Inspector in 2002.

Others present on the occasion included former minister Parminder Dhindsa and SAD Secretary Charanjit Brar. EOM

Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal has approved notification of 535 different colonies under the Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Municipal Areas (Special Provisions) Act, 2016 paving the way for provisioning of major essential services in these colonies

Chandigarh, Sept 20:

Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal has approved notification of 535 different colonies under the Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Municipal Areas (Special Provisions) Act, 2016 paving the way for provisioning of major essential services in these colonies. Out of these 535 colonies, 254 fall in the Municipal Corporations, 100 colonies in Municipal Councils and 181 in Municipal Committees.

As if this itself was not enough of a relief to the residents of these colonies making a departure from the previous practice of arbitrary fixation of the so called development charges, the statutory fee that would have to be paid has been fixed at only 5 per cent of the collector’s rate.

It may be recalled that 32 colonies in Gurugram, nine in Faridabad, 23 in Karnal and 29 in Panipat (total 93) have already been declared as Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Municipal Areas. Over 200 more colonies are still under examination and are soon likely to be declared as Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Area in the near future.

The scheme will provide the health insurance policy to poor families and the beneficiaries will get ‘cashless and paperless’ access to health services in all empanelled hospitals across India.

In Chandigarh, 23,687 households have been determined by the Socio-Economic Caste Census of 2011. Of these, 392 are the rural households, while 23,295 are urban households which shall be covering 1,18,435 number of beneficiaries of the city. They will be entitled to avail cashless services at the empanelled Govt. & Private Hospitals in the city for Primary, Secondary & Tertiary health care services.

Ten Health & Wellness Centers will be operationalized from the same day in U.T. Chandigarh.

पंचकूला, 20 सितंबर:
जिला बाल संरक्षण ईकाई द्वारा जिला के गांवों में जागरुकता अभियान चलाया जा रहा है। इसी कड़ी में आज राजकीय वरिष्ठ माध्यमिक विद्यालय एवं राजकीय कन्या उच्च विद्यालय रायपुररानी में लैंगिक अपराधों पर बने कानून पोक्सो एक्ट पर जागरुकता शिविर आयोजित किया गया।
शिविर के दौरान जिला बाल संरक्षण इकाई पंचकूला से रोबिन सैनी व आशीष अहलावत ने बताया कि समाज में बच्चों में लैंगिक अपराधों के प्रति जागरुकता न होने के कारण बच्चों के प्रति अपराध बढ रहे हैं। बच्चों का कई बार किसी अनजान पर विश्वास कर लेना उनके लिए हानिकारक बन जाता है। पोक्सो एक्ट के अंतर्गत पीडि़त को निशुल्क कानूनी सहायता देने का प्रावधान है। शिविर में बताया गया कि बच्चों के साथ लैंगिक अपराधों से सुरक्षा अधिनियम 2012 के प्रति जागरुक न होने के कारण होते हैं। बच्चे अनजाने में जल्दी से इन घटनाओं का शिकार हो जाते हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि यौन अपराधों में कठोर सजा का प्रावधान है। इस अवसर पर बच्चों को स्पांसरशिप और फोस्टर स्कीम के बारे में जानकारी दी गई और बताया कि विभाग की ओर से आर्थिक रूप  से कमजोर परिवार के बच्चों को शिक्षा एवं अन्य सुविधाओं के लिए आर्थिक सहायता दी जाती है।

हरपथ में पंचकूला को बनाए अव्वल-मुकुल कुमार

पंचकुला 20 सितम्बर:
उपायुक्त मुकुल कुमार  ने कहा कि जिला के अधिकारी हरपथ पर आई हुई समस्याओं का निराकरण निश्चित समय पर करें ताकि पंचकूला को 26 जनवरी 2019 तक पूर्ण रूप से गडढे मुक्त घोषित किया जा सके।
उपायुक्त आज स्थानीय लघु सचिवालय के सभागार में हरपथ को लेकर अधिकारियों की बैठक की अध्यक्षता कर रहे थे। उन्होंने बताया कि अब तक हरपथ पोर्टल पर ऑनलाईन 144 समस्याएं आई हैं, इनमें से अधिकंाश का निराकरण किया गया है। लेकिन कई समस्याओं को समय पर नहीं निपटाया गया, जिसके कारण सरकार द्वारा चलाई जा रही रैंकिंग का लाभ नहीं मिल पाता। इसलिए अधिकारी समय पर इन समस्याओं का निराकरण करें। हरपथ आई समस्या का निराकरण 10 दिन में किया जाना अनिवार्य है। उन्होंने कहा कि पंचकूला में अधिकांश सडक़े सही हैं। यदि किसी स्थान पर कोई गडढा हो जाता है तो उसको भी समय पर भरने का कार्य करें ताकि नागरिकों को किसी प्रकार की दिक्कत न आए।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि हरपथ पर नगर निगम की 103 समस्याएं आई, जिनमें से 25 समस्याओं का निराकरण निश्चित अवधि के बाद तथा 45 समस्याएं समय पर निपटाई गई हैं।  इसके साथ लोक निर्माण विभाग की 29, हरियाणा शहरी विकास प्राधिकरण की 8 तथा हरियाणा राज्य कृषि विपणन बोर्ड की आई हैं। इनका भी निराकरण समय पर किया गया है। उन्होंने कहा कि हरपथ पोर्टल पर आई समस्याओं के निराकरण के लिए सभी विभागों में नोडल आफिसर तैनात कर दिए गए है। हरपथ पर आई समस्याओं की प्रतिदिन निगरानी करें। अब कोई भी विभाग इन समस्याओं के निराकरण में देरी न करें। समस्या के निराकरण के बाद शिकायतकर्ता संतुष्ट नहीं है तो उसे दोबारा से खोल सकता है। इसलिए समस्या का सही निष्पादन सुनिश्चित करें।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि नवम्बर माह में सक्षम युवा लगाकर इस कार्य की समीक्षा करवाई जाएगी तथा उसके बाद जिला को गडढे मुक्त घोषित किया जाएगा। बैठक मे ंअतिरिक्त उपायुक्त जगदीप ढांडा, एसडीएम पंकज सेतिया, मुख्यमंत्री के सुशासन सहयोगी सरोज, मोहित कुमार सहित कई विभागों के अधिकारी मौजूद रहे।

राष्ट्रीय औद्योगिक अप्रेंटिशिप प्रोमोशन स्कीम कि समीक्षा कई होंगे लाभान्वित

पंचकूला 20 सितंबर:
स्थानीय लघु सचिवालय के सभागार में राष्ट्रीय औद्योगिक अप्रेंटिशिप प्रोमोशन स्कीम की समीक्षा करने के लिए उपायुक्त मुकुल कुमार की अध्यक्षता में बैठक का आयोजन किया। इस बैठक में जिला के कई उद्योगपतियों ने भाग लिया और इस स्कीम के सफल क्रियान्यवन को लेकर अपने सुझाव एवं विचार सांझा किए।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि आईटीआई पास युवाओं को निपुण बनाने एवं उनमें दक्षता लाने के उद्देश्य से यह योजना क्रियान्वित की गई है। इसलिए सभी उद्योगपतियों को इस कार्य में ज्यादा से ज्यादा बढचढ कर भाग लेना चाहिए ताकि प्रत्येक युवा को निपुण करके रोजगार के काबिल बनाया जा सके। उन्होंने कहा कि उद्योगों में नवीनतम तकनीकि पर आधारित उपकरणों एवं मशीनों का प्रयोग होता है। आईटीआई पास युवाओं को इन मशीनों की सही जानकारी नहीं मिल पाती। इसलिए सरकार ने यह योजना क्रियान्वित की है।
उपायुक्त ने बताया कि सरकारी विभागों में राष्ट्रीय औद्योगिक एप्रेंटिशिप प्रोमोशन स्कीम के तहत 1239 युवाओं को नियुक्त किया गया है लेकिन उद्योगों में कम युवाओं को इस योजना का लाभ दिया गया है। इसलिए उद्योगपतियों को इस कार्य के लिए आगे आना चाहिए। इस स्कीम के तहत उन्हें अर्धकुशल कारीगर मिलने के साथ साथ सरकार की ओर उन्हेें 10 प्रतिशत राशि भी मुहैया करवाई जा रही है। देशभर में वर्ष 2021 तक लगभग 50 लाख अर्धकुशल युवाओं को अप्रेंटिशिप में नियुक्त करके पूर्ण रूप से कुशल बनाया जाएगा ताकि प्रत्येक हाथ को रोजगार मिल सके। सरकारी विभागों में सफल आयोजन को लेकर पंचकूला पूरे प्रदेश में अव्वल है तथा औद्योगिक क्षेत्र में भी अग्रणीय बनाने के लिए कार्य करें।
इस स्कीम के नोडल आफिसर एवं आईटीआई के प्राचार्य भूपेन्द्र ने बताया कि इस स्कीम के तहत कार्य करने वाले युवा को पहले साल 8030 रुपये का मानदेय प्रदान किया जाता है। इसके लिए प्रत्येक औद्योगिक प्रशिक्षण संस्थान में प्लेसमेंट सैल का गठन किया गया है। कोई भी उद्योगपति अपनी इच्छानुसार अप्रेंटिशिप लेने के लिए सैल से सम्पर्क स्थापित कर सकते हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि उद्योगों में 30 नवम्बर तक एक हजार युवाओं को अप्रेंटिशिप में लगाने का लक्ष्य निर्धारित किया गया है।
बैठक में नगराधीश ममता शर्मा सहित उद्योगपतियों ने अपने अनुभव एवं विचार सांझा किए।
