TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: In a far-reach- ing order, the Election Com- mission on Wednesday told five states which are going to the polls later this year (MP, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram and Delhi), to sus- pend any demolition/evic- tion drives between now and the completion of the elec- tion process. This, they said, would be in the interest of free and fair elections and would maintain the sanctity of the electoral rolls. While appreciating the ob- jectives of government agen- cies in carrying out demoli- tions and eviction drives, the EC expressed concern about the impact that the resultant dislocation of people may have on the ‘‘fidelity’’ of the electoral rolls in these states. The EC told these states that in cases of ‘‘unavoid- able dislocation’’, the gov- ernment should place all facts before the commission, including a suitable rehabil- itation plan, to enable it to give an appropriate order. With less than six months left for the assembly elec- tions, the EC explained that the electoral rolls for these states have been finalised with January 1, 2003, as the qualifying date and ‘‘by now the electors ordinarily resi- dent in any particular area are aware of the inclusion of their names in the relevant part of the roll of the assem- bly constituency’’. It said whenever any evic- tion or demolition drive is taken up, it led to dislocation of existing electors from their ordinary place of residence, resulting in the relevant part of the electoral roll of the assembly con- stituency being affected and becoming defective since a large number of dislocated electors lose their right to vote. Panel of finance experts meets on IIT funding By Mohit Dubey TIMES NEWS NETWORK Kanpur: An eminent panel of fi- nance experts including finance controllers from the Indian Insti- tute of Technology — Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai — will sit together on June 26 to chalk out a new draft document on the ‘fi- nance management and perform- ance based funding approach’ of the IITs. The meet is being held after a span of 10 years and is aimed at re- orienting the financial manage- ment of the institute across the country and to ‘‘possibly suggest amendments or new patterns and rationale behind funding to the IITs’’. IIT Kanpur director S G Dhande said that the congregation as- sumes importance since, ‘‘It will be after a long time that finance experts will put their heads to- gether to evolve information for discussion at higher levels on the existing patterns of funding at the IITs.’’ One of the key points, a senior official at the ministry of Human Resource development, which is also sending a team to participate in the meet, pointed out was, offer- ing a ‘raw strategy’ to allow a ‘‘lev- el playing field to all IITs’’. ‘‘For quite some time now there has been a palpable amount of restlessness, unease and discord amongst some IITs on the funding pattern which is by and large per- formance or formula based as per the 10th financial plan guide- lines,’’ he added. In successive years the funding pattern for IITs has changed from block grant system (8th plan) to deficit financing (9th plan) to the current performance based one.

Shah, a former district president of the BJP’s Yuva Morcha and owner of Snesh Resorts at Kheda, was earlier questioned by the CID in another case of fraud. After thorough interrogation on Tuesday, the Anti-Economic Offences Cell (AEOC) arrested Shah under Sec- tions of cheating (420, 406) and conspiracy (120 B) of the IPC and un- der the Prize, Chit, Money Circulation (Banning) Act. A fresh case was registered against Shah after the CID (crime) verified complaints of defrauding investors. Shah has been accused of operating an MLM under the banner of Snesh Marketing Pvt Ltd, which offered a membership ID on the payment of Rs 300. A member was entitled to, among other things, free entry to Water City,a water park in Goblaj village of Kheda, run by Snesh Resorts. TNN

Linux, a freely available op- erating system used mostly by businesses, has been posing an increasing threat to Microsoft. Pramanik also said that Sun’s desktop so- lution ‘‘Madhatter’’ would be launched in In- dia as part of its global plan in September. ‘‘Our aim is to bring down the overall cost of the software in excess of 70 per cent to 80 per cent than that of Microsoft,’’ he said.
