Punjab heeds Sikh demands, registers case against Dera head
5/20/2007 11:00:21 PM
CHANDIGARH, MAY 20 A case was today registered by police against Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh for allegedly hurting religious sentiments ahead of a crucial meeting of the Sikh clergy, a move the Punjab government hoped would help "cool down tempers". The action came a day after the Dera head expressed regret over the "chain of events" that occurred after newspaper advertisements featured him attired like 17th century Sikh Guru Gobind Singh. The advertisements had led to outbreak of sectarian violence in the state, claiming a life and causing much damage to government and private properties. The Sirsa-based Dera head has been charged by Punjab Police under section 295-A of the IPC relating to deliberate malicious act intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or its religious belief, a government spokesman said. Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal's media advisor Harcharan Singh Bains hoped that the registration of the case "will help in cooling down tempers", but was non-committal on the arrest of the Dera chief. "The l...

With Rs 50 crore departmental allocations, HG Jawans get only 410 per month
5/20/2007 10:54:38 PM
Jammu, May 20 With a whooping 54 crore allocations being released for their department every year, twenty five hundred Home Guard Jawans in Jammu and Kashmir get only a paltry sum of Rs 410 per month as remuneration. Even though working shoulder to shoulder with their counter parts in Auxiliary police and JKP, for most of the part of the month their children had to go to bed empty stomach. While officially they are being paid only for nine days a month, their services are always required by police officers either at their home as domestic servants or as office boy in their offices. These Home guards are indeed the worst victim of our unbecoming system where policies are...

Seat increase issue brings arch rivals PDP, NC closer
5/20/2007 10:47:16 PM

PDP though being a partner in alliance ac...
