District and zonal level office-bear- REQUIRED ers of the party will elect their new state chief and secretary. Nine leaders are in the fray for each post. AAP state spokesman Mahendra Singh said that steps were being taken to constitute a new UP state executive committee. “The existing commit- tees in Awadh, Purvanchal, Rohilkhand, Paschim and Bundelkhand regions have been dissolved to pave way for the constitution of the state unit.

group of youths shot at the nephew of a woman Aleader of Congress at Engineering College cross- ing in Madiaon late on Wednesday night. He had lodged a complaint with Vikas Nagar police accus- ing the youths of thrashing and threatening him. He was attacked at Engineering College crossing when he, along with his friend, was returning home from somewhere in a car. As per reports, Sharad Sharma of Vikas Nagar had lodged a complaint naming Akash Yadav of Aliganj, Manish Yadav of Bakshi-Ka-Talab and Ranjeet Yadav of Madiaon. Reports said that the trio would realise ‘hafta’ from local vendors who set up stalls outside his house and Sharad was opposed to that. “We gave a complaint in this regard to the Vikas Nagar police at 7.30 pm on Wednesday. The SHO told us that we would be given a copy of the FIR a little later. The SHO did not initiate action against the accused,” victim’s brother Aman told mediaper- sons. He said Congress leader Ansuiya Sharma was their close relative. He said the accused got to know about the com- plaint and they found out Sharad. “I was taking a turn towards my home while Arpit was sitting next to me in the car. All of a sudden, the youths riding different bikes came in front of us and opened sev- eral rounds of fire. I sustained a bullet wound on my right hand. While fleeing the scene, the miscre- ants threatened me with dire consequences for lodg- ing a complaint against them,” Sharad told the police. “The youths said bahut FIR likhwate ho ab bhug- to,” he told the police. The accused had been arrest- ed and were being interrogated, the police said. “The statement of the victim is in contradiction with the police findings. A case of murderous assault was reg- istered with the Madiaon police while a case of riot and other counts was registered at Vikas Nagar police too. We are rummaging the crime history of the accused arrested,” police spokesman AK Dwivedi said. Defending the Vikas Nagar police, he said they had taken the complaint and were to take action, but the victim was attacked before that. SSP Kalanidhi Naithani could not be contacted for his comments. *(*" !

ovement of heavy vehicles on the affected part Mof Outer Ring Road, which caved in on Wednesday, will remained restricted for the next 20 days. A senior official of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) said that the repair work had been carried out and the bituminous work would be done after the rains. Heavy vehicles can move on the stretch after over a fortnight or so. On why the problem occurred, the officials said: “There was a very old pipe line beneath the retain- ing wall constructed by us and it got punctured, causing leakage . The adjacent area was also filled with rainwater which worsened the situation and the 10-metre retaining wall got affected, resulting in the road cave-in.” He added that they were not aware about the pipeline beneath and it was at a depth of about nine feet. “The rain water inundat- ed the retaining wall portion which got damaged at the foundation level also. We have removed the damaged portion and restored the road by filling the aggregate material. We have brought it to the original road height. We are compacting the road and hence traffic movement is not allowed. Only light vehicles are allowed,” he said.     !" #$%
