-कॉटन जीनर्स ने की हड़ताल , 2 प्रतिशत एचआरडीएफ को लेकर विवाद। 

-जिनर्स से 80 पैसे के हिसाब से ही ली जाये फीस -जीनर्स एसोसिएशन। 

-कॉटन जिनर्स बोले: मार्केट कमेटी सचिव अपना रही है तानाशाही रवैया। 

-पूरे प्रदेश में एचआरडीएफ 80 पैसे भरा जा रहा है मगर सिरसा में 2 प्रतिशत क्यों। 

-हरियाणा कॉटन जिनर्स एसोसिएशन ने सचिव के खिलाफ सीईओ को भेजी शिकायत। 

- मार्केट कमेटी सचिव का दावा , विभाग के आदेशानुसार ही वसूली जा रही है एचआरडीएफ फीस। 

अभी किसान की कपास की फसल की आवक शुरू होने वाली है। अभी केवल कुछ ही किसान अपनी कपास की फसल  मार्किट में लेकर पहुँच रहे है  लेकिन किसानों की फसल मार्केट में आते ही जिनर्स ने हड़ताल शुरु कर दी है। यह हड़ताल हरियाणा कॉटन जिनर्स एसोसिएशन के बनैर तले केवल सिरसा मंडी में की जा रही है। असल में जीनर्स एसोसिएशन व मार्किट कमेटी सचिव के बीच एचआरडीएफ के लिए वसूली की जा रही दरों को लेकर विवाद है। जीनर्स एसोसिएशन पुरानी दर 80 पैसे के हिसाब से एचआरडीएफ देना चाहते है जबकि मार्किट कमेटी की सचिव 2 प्रतिशत के हिसाब से सरकार द्वारा निर्धारित एचआरडीएफ फीस वसूल करने पर अडिग है। जीनर्स एसोसिएशन का आरोप है कि अभी सरकार द्वारा नई दरों की अधिसूचना जारी नही हुयी है और पुरे प्रदेश में 80 पैसे के हिसाब से ही एचआरडीएफ वसूली जा रही है। 

सुशील  मित्तल , प्रदेश अध्यक्ष, जीनर्स एसोसिएशन। 

 इसी विवाद को लेकर आज हरियाणा कॉटन जिनर्स के पदाधिकारियों ने प्रैस कांफ्रेंस कर सचिव पर कई तरह के गंभीर आरोप लगाए हैं। और कहा कि मार्केट कमेटी सचिव की तानाशाही रवैया अपना रही है। हरियाणा कॉटन जिनर्स एसोसिएशन के प्रदेशाध्यक्ष सुशील मितल ने बताया कि हड़ताल मार्केट कमेटी की सचिव जयवंती कासनिया के रवैये को लेकर की जा रही है। उनका रवैया कॉटन जिनर्स के प्रति ठीक नहीं हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि मार्केट कमेटी की सचिव जिनर्स से एचआरडीएफ हरियाणा रुरल डेवेल्पमेंट फंड के रुप में 2 प्रतिशत की मांग कर रही है जबकि पूरे प्रदेश में एचडीआरएफ 80 पैसे है। पूरे प्रदेश में सभी जगहों पर एचडीआरएफ के तौर पर जिनर्स से 80 पैसे के हिसाब से फीस ली जा रही है मगर सिरसा में सचिव ने खुद के नियम बना रखे हैं।

उन्होंने कहा कि 27 नवंबर 2011 से प्रदेश सरकार ने एचडीआरएफ के तौर पर 80 पैसे लेने शुरु किए थे। उसके बाद से कोई नोटिफिकेशन नहीं हुआ। कहीं भी एचआरडीएफ के रुप में 2 प्रतिशत फीस नहीं ली जा रही है। मार्केट फीस उन्होंने अदा कर दी है लेकिन एचडीआरएफ को लेकर पेंच फंसा हुआ है। उन्होंने कहा कि मार्केट कमेटी की सचिव के खिलाफ उन्होंने ईमेल के माध्यम से सीईओ पंचकुला को शिकायत भेज दी है। सीईओ ने इस मामले को लेकर आश्वासन भी दिया है। सभी पदाधिकारियों ने कहा है कि जब तक मार्केट कमेटी की सचिव अपनी गलती स्वीकार नहीं करती, उनकी हड़ताल लगातार जारी रहेगी। 

वहीँ इस विवाद को लेकर मार्किट कमेटी की सचिव  जयवंती कासनिया से बात की गई तो उन्होंने कहा की उनके ऊपर लगे सभी आरोप निराधार है। उन्होंने सरकार के आदेशों की पालना की है।  उन्होंने कहा कि जो भी निर्देश उनके उच्च अधिकारियों द्वारा दिए जायेंगे उनके अनुसार ही फीस की वसूली की जाएगी। उन्होंने कहा कि उन्हें जीनर्स की हड़ताल के बारे में भी सुचना नही है।  उन्होंने बताया की अभी तक कपास की आवाक शुरू नही हुयी है। केवल कुछ ही किसान कपास लेकर अभी मंडी में लेकर आये है। उन्होंने कहा कि  ज्यों ही किसान अपनी कपास की फसल लेकर आएंगे उनकी फसल की खरीद कर ली जाएगी।

Thanks Giving An expression of spoken or written acknowledgement of gratitude conveyed as regards for the assistance provided by someone. It may also be any kind of gesture influenced through culture or tradition of a society.  There are certain persons who deserve appreciation and thanks when they give in totality and whole heartedly so as to extend help without barriers and expectations. It may relieve the burden owned by someone due to help received.

Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy. They act as charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. We should cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to us for our advancement and convey thanks without break. It is used in exclamation of relief. Thus gesture of gratitude is a step toward achieving bigger and better during current situations. More so, ‘Thank you’ is the best prayer to Almighty God that anyone could say.

Thanks- giving elaborates the concept of gratefulness, gratitude, appreciation, recognition, benediction, blessings, grace, praise and mercy. The opposite notions suggest condemnation, criticism, dis-approval and ungrateful nature.

The word ‘Thanks’ has its origin from the word ‘Thancian’ of old English and ‘Thanc or Thancon’ of middle English. These words convey the expression of thanks. The German word ’Danken’ means give thanks to God for blessings.

Certain Phrases to express thanks:

Thanks a lot; That is very kind of you; How kind you are to help me; Many-many thanks for your assistance in my project; Thanks for your guidance and support; I am eternally grateful for everything you have done for me; Thanks for your kind appreciation; Thanks for coming here to help me. In the modern days, thanks are also expressed through twitter, e-mail, face book comments, whats-up etc (through internet).

Response of Thanks Giving

The person who conveys thanks should also be given due regards (without delay) for the amiable behavior. Certain phrases are being suggested here:

We should develop habit and attitude of regular meditation (with faithful submission) to convey our thanks because His kind benevolence is everlasting. We cherish the wonderful life. Our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, saying thanks to God. Our spiritual guide deserves gratefulness because he is the true messenger of the Divine Power and blesses us with method of meditation.

Then our family has great contribution of giving us many things of our necessity, choice and desire. “I am what I should be, therefore, thanks to my mother, father, brothers, sisters, wife\husband and children. We should be grateful to elders, relatives, and friends, persons associated at work-place and others in the society for their helpful performances, results and contributions.

Our teachers, ascetics, eminent philosophers and patriots deserve appreciation because they guide and motivate us to acquire noble qualities. People, who invite you for special functions and congratulation or best wishes for birthday, anniversary, success etc., also deserve our regards and thanks. We should focus on fellow beings to appreciate their love and generosity. Let thanks giving be a daily event to all those who make us happy and progressive.

3. Thank you, expresses extreme humility and understanding.
4. Saying ‘Thank you’ is more than good manners. It reflects a sense of spirituality.
5. We should never forget that the high appreciation is not only to utter words but to live by them.

7. Righteous thoughts help to inspire for good habits, strong character, and amiable behavior. We develop motivation for extending manual, financial and moral help to the needy.
8. Achieve greatness to think humble.

On The Thirteenth Death Anniversary of Sr. TS Mann, SIRSA NEWS brings you brief life sketch of Sr. Mann, the guiding light and inspiration that drives this Web Site.

<< Late Sardar Tirlok Singh Mann (HPS- I Retd. Supdt. Jail)

Sardar Tirlok Singh Mann was born at Village Mannawala Distt. Shekhupura. (Now in Punjab of Pakistan) on 20th July 1920 in the famous Mannawala Family (A chapter is devoted to Mannawala Family, in the book The Chiefs of Punjab, by a British Author. A family tree from 1700AD up to the name of Sr T.S. Mann also exists in this book as well as the Gazette of Punjab)He was the eldest son of S. Sahib Singh Mann (Ex MLC of Punjab Assembly 1952) His education started from Guru Nanak Khalsa High School Nanakana Sahib. He did his Graduation in 1942 from Khalsa College Amritsar. Six feet tall and well built; he was a good athlete & sportsman. He won the Punjab University’s ‘One Mile’ race twice. At that time the Punjab University was the biggest university in the North India and was located at Lahore. Even then he represented the Punjab University’s Volleyball team.

TS Mann with his Alma Mater - the famous 'Khalsa College Amritsar' in the background

British Professors taught English in Khalsa College at that time. He had good command over English, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and even some working knowledge of French. He visited Sri Harmandir Sahib every morning during all 4 years (It's used to be 4 years in college after 10th; 1 year FA/F.Sc. followed by 3 years of graduation) of his hostel life at Khalsa College Amritsar He held his teachers and professors in high esteem. Prof Sahib Singh, who is known for the most authenticated TIKA of Sri Guru Granth Sahib was one of his favourite professors.

In 1943, he joined the Jail department by appointment through Punjab Services Commission. His first posting was probably at Multan Jail as Asstt. Supdt. Jail. At time of partition in 1947, the family was allotted land at Sirsa; he was made a camp commandant for some time to take care of partition refugees at SIRSA. He resumed his jail department post in post partition India. During his service in the Jail Dept he did not distance himself from the prisoners, rather he understood their psychology and interacted with them to resolve their problems as and when these surfaced. He was very particular about the ration and good hygienic food of the Jail prisoners, and daily ensured that the right quantity and rightly cooked food was served on time. He also took care of the welfare possibilities of all the prisoners. He was very popular with the inmates and many of them used to thank him on and after completion of their jail terms. Besides many jails of Punjab & Haryana he was also posted at Tihar Jail Delhi in early fifties.

In 1975 to 1977 during the national emergency, he was Superintendent of Rohtak Jail. Many senior political leaders were detained in Rohtak jail under his tenure. {To name a few: Sh Bhairon Singh Shekhwat Ex. Vice president of India, Sh LK Advani Ex. Deputy Prime Minister of India, Sh Chander Shekhar Ex PM of India, Ch. Devi Lal Ex DPM India (and Ex CM Haryana), Sh. Sikander Bakht Ex Governor of KERALA, Dr Bhai Mahavir Governor of MP. Sh. Pillo Modi MP, Sh Ashok Mehta MP, Samar Guha, Sh Biju Patnaik Ex CM Orissa, Major Jaipal, Bakshi Jagdev and many more…………} All of these were satisfied with the humane behavior of Sr. TS Mann. Many of them called upon him personally at his official residence soon after attaining political posts and ministries in The Janta Party in 1977. Even today many of them remember him fondly. He was being offered a seat for becoming a MP in the elections of 1977, but he refused as he was a non Political Man and never took any advantage of his such closeness to these leaders. May it be recalled that in 1977 elections it was landslide victory for the JANTA PARTY, and anyone who was nominated by Janta Party was sure to win. After a gap of 28 years, Sh. LK Advani DPM of India recalled him at Rohtak jail on 26 June 2003. An exclusive video film on LK Advani and TS Mann was produced by AajTak news channel in Rohtak Jail; it was telecast at prime time on 26 June 2003 under ‘VISHESH’ Sh Advani specifically mentioned in this telecast the good treatment he got from Mr. Mann during detention under MISA. [see Pictures above] After 35 years of meritorious service he retired in 1979 as Supdt. Distt. Jail Rohtak, at that time this was the second senior most post in the Jail Deptt. The Govt. gave him four increments for his honest & dedicated services. He had ample regards for his officer: I.G. Prisons, Late Sh. SK Puri. That’s why he refused a promotion to the rank of The IG (the Highest Post of Jail Deptt. In those days) during the last few months of his service, as this would have put the then IG Mr. Puri in trouble, and would have jinxed the last phase of service (career) of Sh. Puri, due to certain political reasons.

He took up farming at his farm at village Kirpal Patti, in Ellenabad Sub Division of District SIRSA after retirement. He did co-operative farming by indulging 20 families with him. He made sure that basic needs of these families (Housing, food and clothing) were fulfilled. He arranged money for them also. He discouraged these families to consume alcohol or any kind of intoxicants. He imparted moral and social teachings to all the people associated with him. He himself was a teetotaller and vegetarian throughout his life. Along with farming he took up many social projects. I integrated his agriculture wisdom and scores of his farming tips even now in pursuing modern farming. From 1994, he gave a new momentum to the already Established ‘LOK PANCHAYAT’ (A regd. body) in the Rania-Ellenabad Jeevan Nagar area of SIRSA. Lokpanchayat is a non-religious, non-political, non-factional, social body. [NGO]

During the unfortunate era of militancy in Punjab, Sirsa a border district was also affected, Sardar TS Mann with others formed a peace committee in Sirsa, Sh V. Kamraj an able IPS officer who was posted in Sirsa in those days appreciated the efforts of the peace committee.

In 2001 he had joined the move initiated from the Districts of Karnal & Kurukshetra, for the formation of separate SGPC for Haryana (now known as HSGPC: Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Adhoc). He motivated and apprised people of Sirsa district about the necessity of separate SGPC for Haryana. His foresight and the ideas instilled in the minds of the crusaders of HSGPC, kept the demand for HSGPC alive & the efforts continued long after his death. Sikh population and Sikh leaders of Haryana kept on pressing for this demand. Efforts of Dr Ashok Tanwar and Avantika Tanwar in persuading the rightful demand of Separate Gurdwara Committee finally bore results; a bill for Separate Gurdwara Committee was presented in the Haryana Assembly and the same was passed. The separate body for management of Sikh Gurdwaras has been hence formed by an act of Haryana Govt in the recent assembly session in July 2014 to which Governor Haryana gave an assent. However the matter is now sub-judice in the honourable Supreme Court of India.

He was stern follower of the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib. He always cherished his parents.

In 1986, the untimely demise of his elder son: Sh. Gurinder Mann, perturbed him for a while but he took this great loss as will of The Almighty and consoled rest of the family. It is worth mentioning here that Sh. Gurinder Mann was highly educated [M.A. LL.B. BJ, member HUJ] He was a highly talented budding photo-journalist and art photographer whose pictures were published in international journals. Gurinder Mann was a keen musician and a talented painter as well.

Sardar T.S. Mann’s life was highly disciplined and he was highly health conscious. Even at the age of 83 years, he took long walks daily and visited his fields daily. He never needed much medical care throughout his life, as he believed that nature takes care of petty ailments. He was a die-hard optimist. Sardar Tirlok Singh Mann passed away on the 19th day of August 2003, peacefully.

He is remembered for his principled life, honesty, integrity, philanthropic, and outspoken nature.
