Pvt firm staff thrashed for lifting garbage;15 booked; Is the garbage causing great trouble due to the strike?

Panipat :
The police have booked 15 persons, including two sons of the district president, Nagar Palika Karamchari Sangh, for allegedly thrashing employees of a private company for lifting garbage here.

In a complaint to the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation (MC), Shiv and Rakesh, both employees of JBM Enviro, a private company, stated that they reached Jain Mohalla to lift heaps of garbage from near the Jain temple on Saturday.

“As we started lifting garbage, Govinda, Rakesh Kumar, Naveen, Rahul, Ajay, Jaiveer and nearly 10 other persons reached there,” they said. The youths, carrying hockey sticks and lathis, started thrashing them and tried to prevent them from lifting the garbage, they alleged. The accused stated that they had come to stop them at the behest of Subhash Chandalia, president of the sangh. They also alleged that the accused also poured some suspicious substance into the engines of their tractors.

Meanwhile, Shiv Prasad Sharma, Commissioner, MC, forwarded their complaint to the police.

Deepak Kumar, SHO, City police station, said that a case had been registered against 15 persons, including Govinda, Rakesh, Naveen, Rahul and Ajay on the complaint forwarded by the MC Commissioner.

He said two PCR vans had been provided to the MC to give security to the teams engaged in lifting of the garbage. “We have also installed cameras on the PCR vans to record any untoward situation during garbage collection,” he said.

Refuting the allegations, Chandalia said it was a conspiracy hatched by the private company and the MC authorities against him and the striking employees to mount pressure on him to end the strike. The case lodged against his sons was totally false, he said.

Meanwhile, members of the sangh staged a dharna near Palika Market here.

Mayawati to lead Third Front: Abhay; Does Abhay Chautala statement matter?

Kurukshetra :
Leader of the Opposition Abhay Singh Chautala said the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) was making efforts to form a Third Front by roping in regional parties.
He said this during an INLD-BSP workers’ rally before kicking off a “jail bharo” campaign here. “Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati will lead the grand alliance. The INLD-BSP will rout the BJP and the Congress (in the Assembly elections),” the INLD leader said.

“In the 2014 parliamentary elections, people had voted for the BJP, hoping that it would provide an alternative to 10 years of poor governance by the Congress. But the BJP has failed to fulfil its pre-poll promises such as employment generation, implementation of the Swaminathan Commission report and curbing black money,” he said.

In Haryana, Abhay said, the Manohar Lal Khattar government had failed to make progress in SYL canal construction, while an important irrigation project of Dadupur-Nalvi had been scrapped.

“Sanitation workers, guest teachers, ASHA workers and employees of other government departments are protesting against the anti-worker policies of the BJP government,” the Ellenabad MLA said.

On political developments in Karnataka, he said the BJP was following in the footsteps of the Congress by not allowing the alliance with more seats to form government.

“In 1982, Bhajan Lal was asked to form government in Haryana when the Congress leader had only 32 MLAs, whereas late Devi Lal had the support of 54 legislators,” he claimed.
State INLD president Ashok Arora said, “The BJP government is spending crores of rupees on image-building programmes such as ‘Rahgiri’, whereas welfare projects have been ignored.”

State BSP president Prakash Bharti said the party was committed to extend support to the INLD, and fight the BJP and Congress at the national level.
