THE WEEK THAT WAS Crime
Administration
The State Govt allows Reliance to surrender its proposed SEZ, measuring almost 500 hectares, after more than 5 years of notification. Later, Parsvnath is also allowed to surrender its proposed SEZ off Sohna Road. Mega promises of investments and jobs now lie buried – and yet the land is not being returned to the farmers. It’s precious real estate now. Scam’s the name of the Haryana (especially Gurgaon) real estate game. The Administration claims that Haryana power supply uptime has been 97% plus – which means less than a half-hour power-off daily. Obviously they are staying in a different State ! Residents mob senior HUDA officials, protesting the poor handling of water and power problems, as well as the recent flooding. Police give the local security agencies 45 days to get all the armed security guards and their arms licences verified, and registered. Verification and Registration Cells, for tenants and domestic help, are being set up in Police Stations. Gurgaon-Faridabad expressway firm may withdraw – many problems at the toll plaza, and with locals. The firm alleges it is incurring losses. CCTV cameras have been installed at IFFCO Chowk – and will also be installed at MG Road and HUDA City Centre Metro stations, Rajiv Chowk, Shanker Chowk and Signature Towers. Pipeline laying work, for sewage flow, jams old Delhi Road for days; jams extend to Udyog Vihar and even NH8. The proposal for a Metro link between IFFCO Chowk and Dwarka, across NH8, has not found favour with the approval authorities – allegedly due to poor viability. CRPF personnel donate their 1-day’s salary for the benefit of the victims of the Uttarakhand calamity.
A 45-year-old village resident (ex-BJP office bearer) is tortured in police custody, at Sohna Road police station; 3 policemen are suspended. A City realtor is booked for raping a woman for over a year, on the assurance of a good property deal. 20-year-old widow accuses a live-in (3 years) partner of rape, alleging a promise of marriage. A wife is booked for abetment to the suicide of her husband. A man is accused of molesting his sister-in-law. 2 contract killers are nabbed by the police. An FIR is filed against the owner of Empire pub, for serving banned hookah – total 4 pubs are raided. A salesman and 4 others (including a student of St Stephens College, Delhi) are held for robbing a Sector 29 Reliance Mart store. A man dupes a woman of Rs 6,000, after creating a fake matrimonial profile.
Civic
Zila Parishad Head Kavita Yadav is facing trouble, with her colleagues expressing no confidence in her. Dumpers have been banned entry into the City between 7am and 10pm. Concrete pillars will now demarcate the IAF Zone. DLF III residents spread awareness on garbage disposal (no burning) and polybags, through a door-to-door week-long campaign. Civil Hospital gears up for an increase in dengue and malaria cases. Sheetla Mata Fair festivities are on-going. Sunday witnesses a super moon.
