discretion of the Government and they would have no

departments, boards, state public sector undertakings
and other government organisations would send a

retrenched employees. According to the broad
parameters, the eligible person shall be considered
for adjustment on the basis of seniority of age. Group

equivalent post carrying the same designation and
nature of duties or on a lower post as per the
availability of the vacancies subject to the condition
that an employee occupying Group “C” post at the time
of retrenchment shall not be considered for adjustment
on a Group “D” post as per appropriate term and
conditions.The prescribed qualificatons and age

that shall be considered for adjustment under the
scheme.
As a consequence of this policy, the Group “C” posts
in Government departments, Boards and Corporations
against which the retrenched employees are to be
adjusted, stand excluded from the purview of the
Haryana Staff Selection Commission with effect from
May 18, 2006.  This policy is in supersession of any

the surcharge on delayed payment of water and sewerage charges as a
fulfilment to its commitment made to the people.While stating this here today,
the Public Works Department(Public Health) Minister, Mr. Randeep Singh Surjewala said that this decision would be effective from September 1, 2006 or the date of its notification. He said that a
decision to this effect had been approved by the Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder

water charges could be paid either by depositing in cash or by bank draft or by
money order within 30 days from the delivery of the bill . In case of non payment of bill within the due date, one time 10 per cent penalty would be levied on current charges only and not on total amount of the bill in subsequent bills also. Also, in case of non payment of complete
amount of the bill within six months from due date of payment of first pending bill,
the water or sewerage connection would be disconnected. He said that at present the
Public Health Department has been levying surcharge at a rate of 10 per cent
on the total outstanding amount everytime the bill was raised, which resulted in a heavy compound surcharge that is surcharge on the surcharge which was excessively punitive. Therefore, it was decided to follow the pattern adopted by Haryana Urban Development
Authority.He said that the government was concerned over the issue as heavy
surcharge was being levied on the principle amount of user charges paid after the due date. For every subsequent month of delay, a further surcharge was being levied on the outstanding amount of the consumers. The surcharge levied being  excessively punitive and a
disincentive for the consumers who wanted to make the delayed payments, the government felt it necessary to rationalise the rate of surcharge.

Chandigarh, June 21 - The availability of electricity
has reduced due to less power generation in the hydel
projects located in hilly states like Himachal
Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttranchal. The major
reason for this is scarcity of inflow of water in
hydro projects being snow-fed.
A spokesman of the Haryana Power Utilities said here
today that abrupt fall in temperature had resulted
into less melting of snow in mountains and higher
region. There had been a daily shortfall in State's
share of 30 lakh units in Bakhra Beas Management
Board, 23 lakh units in SJVN (NHPC), 26 lakh units in
Nathpa Jakhri Project and 8 lakh units in Mullana
Project.
He stated that there had been a minor technical fault
in the eighth unit of Panipat Thermal Power Station.
This also resulted in the reduction of availability of
power by 55 lakh units  daily. He said that the unit
would restart generation by today evening.
He disclosed that the demand of electricity had gone
up in the State due to onset of paddy season. In order
to ensure regular power supply to tubewells for 7 to 8
hours daily, the Utilities had temporarily imposed 6
to 8 hours regulations on industries and for 5 to 6
hours in urban sector.
He further stated that the frequency of northern grid
varied around 49 Htz. Most of the states in the
northern region had been forced to regulate the power
supply.
The spokesman further stated that the regulations
would be withdrawn as soon as the availability of
electricity increases. He urged the consumers to bear
with the situation.

Chandigarh, June 20 - A 2-day regional workshop on
problems relating to NRI marriages began here today
with experts demanding a comprehensive legislation to
resolve the problems relating to NRI marriages .
The workshop has been organised by  the Union
Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOAI) and
National Commission for Women. A number of speakers
including Union Additional Secretary, Ministry of
External  Affairs, Mr. Sharat Sabharwal, Director,
MOIA, Ms. Sandhya Shukla, Prof. C. Jai Raj of Indian
Society for International Law, Ms. Shruti Pandey,
Prof.Govindraj and Joint Secretary, Ministry of Law
and Justice, Mr. D.R. Meena expressed their views and
suggested the participants to give concrete
suggestions so  to find solution to the problems
related to the  NRI marriages.
Ms. Shruti Pandey said that  it had been observed
that after marriage, the NRIs ignore the women  by
being thousands of miles away. She said that such
marriages aggravated risks  as women  remained
isolated far away from home in an alien country and
faced  constraints of language, communication, lack of
local laws for justice, police and  lack of monetary
support and a place to take shelter. She said that a
woman married to a NRI was abandoned even before being
taken by her husband to the foreign country. Such
cases were increasing day by day.
She said that there were women who after marriage to
NRIs  learnt that their NRI husband had given false
information about  job, immigration status, earning,
property, marital status and other material
particulars related to their marriage.
Director, MOIA, Dr. Sandhya Shukla said that a draft
law would be enacted and in that process child
abduction rule would also be simplified. She said that
sometimes a woman had to face charges of illegally
abducting her own children. She said that legal issues
that arise from  various types of cases could be kept
in mind while enacting the law including validity of
marriage itself and the choice of law of marriage and
divorce.
Dr. Gandhi from the Union Ministry of Law and Justice
said that all  legal problems should be debated
broadly and a penal would give its reports to the
Ministry. He stressed the need for signing more
reciprocal bilateral treaties, espeicaly with the
countries with large number of Indians but continue to
be not covered for automatic enforcement of foreign
decrees under section 44 and 44 A of the CPC. He said
that Law Ministry was pondering for formulating new
legislation about the NRI marriages so that this
problem could be solved. He suggested that marriages
should be registered. Sometimes the NRI conceals the
facts. All the facts should be considered before the
marriage. There should be a time frame for finding
solution  to the problems of NRI marriages and the
compensation should be given immediately.
Ms. Vanita Rai stressed the need to identify problem
areas and the people should be educated in that area
particularly in Punjab. She suggested that a
registration office should be set up at Airport also
to identify the antecedents and a financial provision
should also be made for them who had been deserted by
their NRI husband. She also suggested that all the
data should be made available on website.
Mr. D. R. Meena said that Hindu Marriage Law had been
amended and more  amendments would have to be made  to
meet the requirement of the changing scenario. She
opined that a committee should be constituted
comprising legal luminaries, Judges, Advocates and
voluntary organizations to consider the proposal to be
submitted to the Law Ministry.
A number of speakers in the seminar raised a number
of question regarding the NRI marriages. They
suggested that the Embassy of the country should be
intimated about the marriage and a special cell should
be set up by Embassy. They also suggested that efforts
should be made for checking of illegal migration and
rule should be formulated after broad consensus.
The Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda
would attend the Regional Workshop tomorrow and

Chandigarh, June 19 - The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran
Nigam (DHVBN) will launch the consumer welfare schemes
of voluntary disclosure of unauthorized extension of
load and regularization of illegal connections by
going at doorstep in rural area.
It was decided in a meeting of the officers of the
Nigam last evening presided over by Mr. R.N. Prasher,
Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary, Power
Department. Mr. Prasher took note of the increasing trend of
unauthorized extension of load on tubewells which
caused damage to transformers and distribution system.
He directed the field officers to select twelve
operation sub-divisions in the area of each operation
circle and carry 100 per cent load checking of
tubewells.
He said that the farmers may be given chance to
declare unauthorized extension of load of all the
tubewells voluntarily and during the period of this
scheme, no penalty should be charged. However, after
the scheme would be over, a massive and intensive
campaign would be launched to check unauthorized
extension of load. On detection of unauthorized load,
the erring consumer would be penalized as per rules.
He revealed that during last year, there was
disclosure of 125 MW unauthorized load under the
V.D.S. out of which 86 MW was declared in the
agriculture sector.
Mr. Prasher said that the villagers should be given
new domestic connections by going at their door- step.
He observed that in comparison to number of households
in villages, the number of electricity connections,
was very less. He said that a massive campaign should
be launched and domestic connections be released by
holding camps in villages. All formalities for
releasing of new connections would be completed in the
camps and it would be tried that the connection is
released on the same day. He asserted that this task
should be completed by September 30, 2006.
Mr. Prasher said that to bring down line losses,
improve distribution services and give relief to the
consumers from the responsibility of meters, the work
of shifting the electricity meters from within the
consumer premises to outside in meter pillar boxes or
on electricity poles would be accelerated. He asked
the officers to shift the meters of all HUDA sectors
within next two months.
The Financial Commissioner instructed the officers
that to immediately disconnect all the connections of
defaulters for last two billing cycles. In case any
defaulter consumer for three billing cycles was found
in urban areas, the integrity of the concerned
official would be considered as doubtful. He said that
the Haryana Government had given priority to the work
of segregation of urban and rural feeders. The work
would be completed within a period of 18 months. He
gave directions to release all those tubewell
connections by August 31 next against which complete
fee, charges and test reports had been deposited by
April 30 last.
Lt. Gen. Lohchab, Chairman, Haryana Power Utilities
insisted on finding solution of problems of shortage
of material and manpower. He observed that to achieve
the target fixed by Government for segregation of
rural and urban feeders, the Utilities had to make
strenuous efforts. Mr. Vijayendra Kumar, Managing
Director, DHBVN said that there had been laudable
decrease in line losses in the area of DHBVN. He
assured that all-out efforts would be made to achieve
the targets fixed by the Government.

Chandigarh,June 19- Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation. Ltd. (HSIIDC) today signed a joint venture agreement with Reliance Venture Ltd. (RVL), a group company of Reliance Industries Ltd., for the setting up of a multi-product Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Haryana. The agreement  was signed in the presence of  Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda and  Chairman,Reliance Industries, Mr. Mukesh D. Ambani. While the
Managing Director of HSIIDC, Mr. Rajeev Arora signed on behalf of the Corporation, Mr. Anand Jain, one of the Directors of the Reliance Ventures Ltd., signed onbehalf of the RVL.
Central Government’s approval The Central Government has accorded approval in
principle in March 2006 for the setting up of this mega project over an area of 25,000 acres.
Land for SEZ The agreement also paves the way for the transfer of about 1395 acres of land which was acquired by HSIIDC for setting up  of an SEZ near Garhi  Harsaru in
district Gurgaon. In return, the HSIIDC will receive (a) exact cost of compensation paid to land
acquisition collector by HSIIDC (b) nine per cent interest on this amount from the date of payment made to LAC till the payment by special purpose vehicle to HSIIDC and (c) 15 per cent adminsitrative charges on the amount of compensation aid. The decision to
integrate two sites was taken to avoid internal competition and to achieve synergy in implementing the so far largest SEZ in the country.The site for this biggest SEZ in the country spanning more than 25000 acres has also been finalised jointly by HSIIDC and RVL. The location falls in Gurgaon and Jhajjar districts of the State and would be abutting the proposed Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway on both sides. The agreement also provides that in case the
Special Purpose Company fails to implement the project, the land being transferred by HSIIDC would be reverted back and the Corporation would pay back only the cost of land acquisition.
The HSIIDC proposes to transfer the land by realising the total cost of acquisition upfront, interest capitalised as holding cost at the rate of nine  per cent per annum and the administrative cost at the rate of 15 per cent of the cost of acquired land. This would translate into an amount of Rs.360 crore as against the compensation of Rs.300 crore paid by
HSIIDC. In addition, HSIIDC would get sweat equity without any investment at 10 per cent of the total equity. Also, the HSIIDC will be allotted shares equivalent to 10 per cent of the total share capital.These shares will be allotted on face value that is Rs. 10 per share for which the HSIIDC would not have to make any payment. SEZ policy While speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Mr.Bhupinder Singh Hooda described this  historic agreement  as a giant stride towards fulfilment of the declaration made by the State Government in its Industrial Policy  announced in June last year. The policy had set an investment target of Rs. two lakh crore and employment for 10  lakhpersons in the next 10 years. The multi-product SEZ alone would catalyse an investment of over Rs. one lakh crore and  generate direct and indirect employment for more than five lakh
persons. The SEZ will be on a scale and standards consistent with the international norms and is a unique project in public private partnership for Haryana. Being designed on the pattern of the renowned Special Economic Zones in China and Dubai, the proposed SEZ shall be the largest such project in the country. The expected investment in the project infrastructure would be  Rs.40,000 crore. Apart from tremendous financial strength that the project will bring to
HSIIDC, the project would also catapult HSIIDC to a different league altogether  and  earn a huge revenues for the State Government.As per the SEZ Rules, 35 per cent of the project
area to be developed as process area  that is 8000 acres is likely to generate an annual turn over of Rs.1,00,000 crore. The revenue collected at the rate of 10 per cent for domestic tariff scale is likely to generate an annual earnings from industrial activities to the tune of Rs.5000 crore to the State exchequer.An equal amount of revenue is likely to be generated through indirect services and economic activities making the State economy robust and generating surplus for development of the entire State. The currentrevenue of the State at Rs.20,000 crore is likely to increase to Rs.30,000 crore on account of this project alone. The Chief Minister said that the utilization of land,conditions of lease etc. will be strictly controlled by Development Commissioner to be appointed by Government of India. The State Government has come out with a uniform policy on land acquisition and any multi-product SEZ being set up in the State would be given similar treatment under the policy. The charges being paid by RVL to HSIIDC are strictly in accordance with this policy of the State Government and any further acquisition that may be necessary for implementation  of  the  project  will  also follow
the same norms. The  agreement, therefore, is much more comprehensive and envisages substantial long term returns to the Corporation than a mere transfer of land on a one time premium or even implementation of the SEZ by HSIIDC itself. Policy to acquire land He pointed out  that the present Government, which assumed office in March 2005, has fixed floor rates
for acquisition of farmers’ land and according to this decision the minimum collector rates are Rs. 21 lakh per acre in Gurgaon and its urbanisable area as well as district Panchkula. In case of remaining NCR, these rates are Rs. 18 lakh per acre and in the rest of the State, these rates would be Rs.eight lakh per acre. According to the policy of prior to March 2005, the
average acquisition cost would come to Rs.6.5  lakh per acre even in Gurgaon district whereas in the remaining parts of the State it used to be far less.During the year 2004, the Government acquired 1400 acres of land for IMT Manesar-Phase-II to IV at an average cost of Rs. 8.5 lakh per acre.  The land for setting up of SEZ by HSIIDC at Garhi Harsaru was acquired in January, 2006 at an average cost of Rs. 20 lakh per acre.  This reflected that the Government was
committed to safguard the insterests of the farmers. SEZs in backward areas The Government of India has so far granted in principle approval to about 21 private developers for setting up of SEZs in Haryana and 22 proposals are in the pipeline with the State Government. The location
of the proposed SEZs cover such industrially backward areas like Mewat, Jhajjar and Rohtak within the NCR and Ambala outside NCR. As per the new policy, the state government, while acquiring land for private developers will ensure that the developers shall undertake to provide essential services like roads, street lights, drainage and sewerage, drinking water supply and build suitable medical care and schools alongwith community centre in all such villages where
the village abadi is relocated at a new place. The developers shall also be required to set up industrial and training institutes and polytechnics in such areas to improve employment opportunities for the local youth. Also, the developer shall undertake to give employment to at least one member of the family whose land is acquired for setting up the project.

Chandigarh, June 18 -  Haryana  today launched an
employment scheme for rural youth  and three other
schemes to give boost to dairy farming in the State.
The Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who
launched these schemes said while addressing a huge
gathering of members of cooperative societies in
Rohtak that  these three schemes included  an
insurance scheme for producer members, a white card
scheme to give loans on easy  terms to milk producers
and another scheme for extension of insurance of
livestock.
He said that the  scheme for employment to  rural
youth would enable them serve as a resource person on
retention or commission basis.  The scheme would be
implemented in those villages where the dairy
cooperative has not been functional. Under this
scheme,  a person who would motivate collection of 201
ltrs. of milk per day would get Rs. 4000 per month and
increased collection of milk would provide  more money
in a proportionate manner.  However, in case of female
resource person,  the women motivating collection of
milk through a women  society would get additional 10
paise per ltr. of milk.
He said that under the second scheme of insurance for
the benefit of producer members, a committed member
who had supplied milk continuously for last three
years in lean and flush season,  would be insured for
Rs. one lakh for accidental death by  paying merely
Rs. 10 as premium. This scheme would be  in addition
to the one being implemented by the Government  to
provide insurance cover to entire population.
He said that the third scheme, known as White Card
Scheme, aimed at providing loans uptp Rs. one lakh to
the milk producers from various banks for purchase of
animals. This scheme would benefit those milk
producers who had supplied milk to the dairy
cooperatives consistently for three years. The loan
would be provided from selected banks on easy terms
and without collateral security.
He said that under the fourth scheme, the animal
wealth would be provided insurance cover in those
areas of the entire State where the women milk
cooperative societies were operative. At present, the
scheme was being  implemented in only five districts
of Bhiwani, Jind, Hisar, Rohtak and Jhajjar for which
75 per cent of the premium was being paid by the
Government and remaining 25 per cent by the
beneficiaries.

Chandigarh, June 17 - The farmers of Taraori area of
district Karnal have been benefited immensely by
diversifying their crops from traditional wheat-rice
rotation to the cultivation of Bitter gourds vegetable
over an area of 300 acres by adopting Bawar technique.
A spokesman of the Horticulture Department informed
that the Bawar technique had been developed by Haryana
Agricultural University, Hisar on the pattern of grape
cultivation.
Explaining about the Bawar technique, he said that
after preparing  the fields, the net of wires were
laid on the pieces of bamboos and then the plants were
spread over these wires. Using this technique, the
production of Bitter gourd had  increased
substantially, he added.
He said that this technique had not only  helped the
farmers  in keeping their crops free from insects but
had also resulted in cultivating a bumper crop. The
crop sown over an area of one acre could fetch a
farmer upto Rs. 50000 excluding the expenditure
incurred on its cultivation. The cultivation of
vegetables was being done extensively in this area and
an area of over 3000 hectares was covered under its
cultivation. Apart from this, fruit cultivation was
also being done over 145 hectares and spices such as
turmeric and coriander were also cultivated over 50
hectares, he added.
The spokesman said that bitter gourd was not only
popular in India but also most popular in China,
Taiwan, Vietnam and the Philippines. He said that
Bitter gourd  which was popularly known as  Karela in
our country  was a  seasonal vegetable and a rich
source of phosphorous. It acts as a blood purifier,
therefore, highly beneficial for  diabetics.
He said that the Bitterguord cultivation being a
cash crop ensures prompt payment as compared to other
traditional crops. Furthermore, the farmers do not
face any difficulty in marketing the crop as they
were able to sell their produce in the far off
markets of Delhi, Chandigarh and Dehradun due to the
strategic location of their area on GT road. After the
cultivation of Bitterguord, the crop of tomatoes could
be sown, which was also highly remunerative. As a
result, the farmers were able to earn an income of
about Rs. one lakh from one acre of their land in a
year by sowing bitter gourd and tomatoes.
He said that to encourage the farmers to adopt
diversified crop activities, the Horticulture
Department of district Karnal had sent a proposal to
the National Horticulture Mission for providing
