He said as per the new rules, three correspondents and two photographers from a newspaper would get accreditation at the state headquarters. At the district headquarters, two correspondents and one photographer would be granted accreditation, whereas earlier only one correspondent used to be given accreditation at the district headquarters.

He said in Delhi, now two representatives of a newspaper or agency would be given accreditation and one of them might be a photographer. Earlier, there was no policy of granting accreditation in the national Capital.

Mr Hooda said for the first time the representatives of electronic media would be given accreditation at the district headquarters and Delhi. It has also been decided to do away with the system of police verification for granting accreditation to a journalist.
The limit of free-travel facility in Haryana Roadways buses for accredited journalists would be increased from 2500 km to 4000 km per year and in case of desk journalists it would be 2500 km per year instead of 1500 km earlier.

Electronic News Media Association (ENMAS) & Haryana Union of Journalists (HUJ) celebrated National Press Day at Hotel Jai Vilas today. Mr. Pankaj Yadav IAS (Officiating Deputy Commissioner, Sirsa) presided over a luncheon mini conference.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Yadav said that Press and Media has given new directions to nation as well as the world. He said that apart from the 3 pillars of democracy, the legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary, The Press & Media is being rightly pronounced as the uncrowned fourth pillar of the democracy. Its role in helping to maintain democracy cannot be denied. Where ever there is freedom to press the quality of democracy keep on improving. However Mr. Yadav expressed that if all these pillars start working in tandem in reality then India could perhaps leap forward at a greater pace. He even quoted the opening words of the Preamble to constitution of India, “We the people of India…….” These are the golden lines that still hold the key to a better India. [He was obviously latently referring to society mostly giving credit to either Judiciary or the Press only] Mr Yadav greeted the press and media persons on the National Press Day Occasion and very warmly said that such quick take conferences should become a regular feature. He assured that District Administration shall as always co-operate for such events. He praised the Sirsa media for its positive journalism compared to many places elsewhere.

Mr. Bhupender Dharmani said the government of India has been apprised of the changing scenario of Indian News media and recommendation have been sent from Press Organizations to take Electronic Media into its folds and aptly rename the Press Council of India to Media Council of India, so that the problems faced by the TV Media are addressed to properly.
Mr. Ved Goyal president ENMAS, Mr. Inder Mohan Sharma patron and S. Baljeet Singh president HUJ thanked the chief guest and all attendees.
When Senior Journalist Dr. OP Bansal of Hindustan Times and PTI rose to spoke, contrary to assumptions of a serious oration he took it in lighter vein and announced that as we are celebrating Press Day symbolic to freedom of the Press, on of our Journalist Mr. Baljeet Singh happily embraced shackles of Ghulami by getting married on this day!

Mr. Arun Mehta, Mr. Soraj Bhardwaj, Mr. Uttam Singh Grover, Mr. Amit Tiwari, Mr. Dinesh Kaushik, Mr. Pawan Kumar, Mr. S. Goyal, Mr. Pawandeep Singh Jolly, Mr. Gurjeet Singh Mann, Mr. Amar Singh Jayani, Mr. Sukhwinder Tagger, Mr. Satnam. Mr. Pankaj, Mr. Dheeraj Bajaj, Mr Jagdish Sharma.

About National Press Day (Sirsa News Supplement)

National Press Day – The 16th of November – is symbolic of a free and responsible press in India. This was the day on which the Press Council of India started functioning as a moral watchdog to ensure that not only did the press maintain the high standards expected from this powerful medium but also that it was not fettered by the influence or threats of any extraneous factors. Though there are several Press or Media Councils world over, the Press Council of India is a unique entity in as-much-as this is the only body to exercise an authority even over the instruments of the state in its duty to safeguard the independence of the press.
Recommending the establishment of Press Council in 1956 the Ist Press Commission had concluded that the best way of maintaining professional ethics in journalism would be to bring into existence a body with statutory authority, of people principally connected with industry whose duty it would be to arbitrate. To this end the Press Council of India was established and the body that was evolved since November 16, 1966 has not belied the objective.
November 16 therefore personifies a responsible and free press in the country. All those who cherish it, so commemorate the day. The National Press Day on November 16 every year is commemorated in befitting manner by the Council. Since the year 1997 following Seminars have been organized by the Press Council on occasion of National Press Day (November 16).

SIRSA (Sirsa News)

A nursing home and a diagnostic centre were sealed here following a TV channel expose showing two doctors, including the president of Sirsa IMA, allegedly carrying out sex determination tests. The team, led by the district civil surgeon Dr Kaysth sealed the nursing home and the centre, Deputy Commissioner V Umashanker said.

However, the accused doctors have refuted the charges. The district administration decided to seal the diagnostic centre of Dr Kaushal and the ultrasound room of the private nursing home of Dr Ramesh Munjal, after the telecast of a TV report showing Dr Ramesh Munjal, President of IMA, Sirsa and Dr Kaushal as promoting female foeticide.

Reacting to the sting operation, Dr Munjal dismissed the charges against him as baseless. He said a few days back; some people had approached him and sought information about the city scan centre, which he gave to them. But when they talked about a sex determination test, he asked them to leave his clinic, he said. He said he would clarify his position after he returns from Delhi, where he has gone to visit his sister who had died of a massive heart attack. Dr Kaushal also denied the charges and said the whole video clipping shown by the TV channel was a manipulation and a conspiracy against him.

Meanwhile, Janvadi Mahila Samiti today submitted a memorandum to the City Magistrate demanding that ''these mercenary doctors should be booked under he PNDT Act'' They announced to hold a dharna outside the establishments of these doctors.

[All Photos can be clicked to view-enlarged version]

A Public awareness march titled ‘Ottu Jheel Nirman Jagritee Yatra” for need of excavation of Ottu Lake was conducted in Ellenabad-Jeevan Nagar Rania Area. The Yatra Started on 2nd October on Gandhi Jayanti Day from Gandhi Chowk Ellenabad and concluded on 6th October with a conference at the Ch. Devi Lal Ottu Weir.

The Yatra was spearheaded by Advocate Jarnail Brar, Mr Sukhdev Bhadu, Mr Brahmanand Sharma and other members of Ottu Jheel Nirman Sangrash Samiti, along with active support and participation of LOKPANCHAYAT a prominent NGO of the region, Mr. Jaswant Singh Josh, Bali Singh Budhimari, Sardul Singh Kotli, Swarn Singh Wirk, Gurdial Singh Wirk etc toured more than 50 villages from 2nd October to 6th October and conducted awareness lectures at every village. The Yatra was welcomed at all the villages as villagers are now aware of depleting ground water levels and the need of water conservation. On the concluding day on 6th October speaking at the right bank downstream of Ottu Weir, Mr. Jarnail Brar said that without people’s participation it was not possible to get this urgent demand fulfilled. S. Malkiat Singh Khosa Advocate said that it was not possible to make a real good lake that is useful for water storage with limited budget and work force like (he was referring to one that can be diverted from Rozgaar Guarantee Yojna Etc.) With such little resources only a small pond could be created and not a big storage water body that is the Ottu lake. He said “We should get disillusioned and we all should unite and strike in a big way to impress upon the Govt to take this project seriously so that a viable and useful lake is constructed.”
Before that Mr. Bhadu had said that if we tap the Rozagar Guarantee Yojna than with that work force only we can excavate the lake in no time.
Mr Swarn Singh Wirk in his address said that cutting across the party lines every one should put up strength behind this demand so that Govt may be impressed upon and forcedto yield to this genuine demand that shall not help farmers and environment but shall also help save electricity. Mr Wirk said at the time of inauguration of Ottu Weir by the then CM Mr. OP Chautala, delegation of Lokpancahyat had urged upon the then CM that its necessary to make a lake on the up stream of Ottu Weir to tap the full potential of Ghagger River and the New Ottu Weir, as ottu weir alone can only regulate the flow of Ghaggar waters and cannot hold the same to elongate the irrigation benefits. Talking to Sirsa News, Mr. Wirk said that we should tap the Rozagar Guarantee Yojna as well as get a large project for making of the lake cleared form the Govt. The Rozgar Guarantee Yojna shall come in handy once the lake is constructed for its de-silting and maintenance etc.
Mr Gurdial Singh Wirk, Mr. Sardul Singh Kotli, Mr. Ramji Lal Saharan, Mr. Singh of Modia Khera, Mr. Bali Singh Budhi Mari, Mr Jaswant Singh Josh President LOKPANCHAYAT, Mr. @#*! Bhadu, Mr Brhamanand Sahrma President, Sarpanch Asso. Ellenabad, Mr Sukhdev Bhadu, etc also detailed the usefulness of the lake.
