Tribune News Service Chandigarh, July 25
With an eye on the forthcoming elections to the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh, a former Union Minister and expelled Congress leader, Mr Harmohan Dhawan, today announced the body of the Chandigarh Vikas Manch (CVM) and a new month-long agitation programme from July 31. Giving details of the agitational "action plan" at a press conference here today, Mr Dhawan informed that on July 31 activists of the mahila wing of the CVM would resign en masse from the Congress. This would be followed by "quit Congress divas" on August 9, when a large number of active Congress workers would resign. Tree plantation on August 19 and blood donation camp on August 23 would also be organised, he said, adding that the programme would conclude with a "yuva sammelan" on August 31. Pledging "total support" to various ongoing agitations such as that of the CHB Residents Federation and the auto mechanics, he urged the Chandigarh Administration to withdraw the threat of demolition of the "illegal" alterations and additions after July 31. Demanding the dissolution of the MC, he said in the changed scenario the corporation would not be able to work properly. The following have been nominated office-bearers of the CVM: vice-presidents — Mr M.P. Kohli, Mr N.K. Nanda, Mr Harbans Gulati, Mr B.K.

Ruchika case 'to defame' RathoreTribune News Service
CHANDIGARH, Sept 20 — Members of the Triveni Manch at a meeting discussed the ''Ruchika murder case''. Ms Sudesh Rani Chauhan, president of the manch, said the matter was being unduly publicised by certain organisations without verifing the facts. ''Some police officials in Haryana are trying to publicise the matter with a view to defaming Mr Rathore, DGP, of the state'', said Ms Chauhan. She said that the matter was still under investigation by the CBI and such efforts were not justified. ''It is a moot question whether the DGP can be blamed three years after the death of Ruchika, who was a minor'', she said.
