Boy fatally
knocked down
Around noon, Kuldeep, who lived with his uncle at Harkesh Nagar, was crossing the road to fetch water when the vehicle ran over him. He was rushed to hospital where he was declared dead on arrival. A case of causing death due to rash and negligent driving has been registered.
Drug peddler
arrested
The accused, identified as Mohammad Ansar, was arrested near Metro station at Inder Lok. During interrogation, he disclosed that he worked for one Laloo, a notorious drug peddler lodged in jail. Ansar has been booked under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act.
`CBI probe biased'
Concluding the recording of his statement in the case, Mr. Ansal said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had been biased in the probe of the case and that the case had been foisted upon him. He submitted that he bore no liability for the tragedy as he had resigned from the board of directors of the ATCL in 1988, much before the occurrence of the tragedy on June 13, 1997.
Hospital's
gesture
As part of its relief and rehabilitation efforts, Isha Foundation has undertaken to provide shelter for the victims of the disaster and is building houses which are not only fire and cyclone-proof but also tsunami-proof. The building designed "in house'' can be built in 24 hours at a cost of Rs. 80,000 per house. "It will help the people stay near the sea where their livelihood is. We have to understand that people cannot be just shifted out of areas where they have been living for generations. These indigenously developed structures will come in handy,'' explained Sadguru Vasudev. Sir Ganga Ram Hospital will offer aid to build 20 such houses and the contribution has come from the consultants, staff and the hospital administration.
