TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Friday recom- mended amendments in the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. According to Poornima Advani, chair- person of the NCW, the trigger was the spate of anti-dowry cases in the capital in the last one month. In fact Advani used the forum to felicitate Nisha Sharma, Anupama Singh and Farzana Zaki for standing up to dowry hungry in-laws. ‘‘The example of these girls have brought home the fact that dowry re- mains a burning issue and that a lot needs to be done,’’ she said. Among the recommendations made, the NCW is asking for a compulsory registra- tion of marriages. ‘‘In many cases of dowry, the grooms side refuse to ac- knowledge that the mar- riage has in fact been solemnised,’’ said Advani. Along with the registra- tion a list of all items giv- en as ‘‘gifts’’ has to be ap- pended. This would make it easi- er to recover these items if the marriage breaks down due to dowry demands. The institution of the dowry prohibition officers is to be strengthened as in the last few surveys the NCW found district magis- trates doubling up as dowry prohibition offi- cers. A dowry cell within po- lice stations is also going to be recommended. On wedding expenses as a way to promote simpler wed- ding, the NCW called it an ‘‘unworkable proposi- tion’’. ‘‘When the dowry Act was being framed it was not practical in terms of implementation,’’ said Advani. Staffers held for theft in embassy
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The staff of police control room posted in Chanakyapuri police station apprehended two persons who breached Chinese embassy security to steal a television from inside. The two, Naseeruddin and Rafiq, have been booked under burglary. Both happen to be resi- dents of West Bengal and work with the embassy as gardeners. According to a police of- ficer the television set was being disposed off by the embassy. ‘‘But they en- tered the embassy boudaries by jumping the wall on early Friday morn- ing. They took away the set without informing the authorities. A case, there- fore, needs to be regis- tered,’’ a police officer said. The two were caught when they were carrying the television on a bicycle heading for Pragati Maid- an. The PCR staff then stopped them for question- ing and the two admitted to the burglary.

TNN under fire By Archana Srivastava TIMES NEWS NETWORK Lucknow: While Uttar Pradesh continues to be dogged by problems of political sta- bility, chief minister Mayawati has made news by being absent from the whole sce- nario. She is on a 16-day tour to Switzer- land. What is Mayawati’s specific agenda in Switzerland? Officials of the chief min- ister’s secretariat will only say she has gone to woo the NRIs to invest in the state. The Opposition parties on the other hand are not willing to buy this. Switzer- land for them means only two things — ‘sair-sapata’ (jaunt) and Swiss banks. The opposition refuse to believe that Mayawati can attract NRIs to a state which is plagued by political instability, inadequate power supply and law and or- der problems. But that exactly is the ‘‘miracle’’ which the bureaucrats accompanying her would be engaged in performing in the biggest FDI journey ever undertaken by a chief minister of the ‘‘land where promises are kept’’. The ‘‘court NRI’’ version, however, has failed to cut ice with the mainstream Opposition parties. State president of the Samajwadi Party Ram Sharan Das stated as much when he said that a person went to Switzerland for mauj-masti (fun) and not to seek NRI investment. Mayawati will be accompanied by her family members and BSP president Kan- shi Ram. ‘‘When she is not bothered about what is taking place in her own state how can she be expected to hardsell it abroad?’’ he asked. He later added that Switzerland was also known for its banks stashed with black money. Similar views were voiced by UPCC president Arun Kumar Singh ‘Munna’ who said that the general perception was Mal masala jama karne gayi hai, yehan jo liya wahan pahucha diya. Suna hai Switzerland main surakshit rakha jata hai. (She has gone to deposit money there. We have heard that it is kept safe in Switzerland). Munna too was not willing to buy the theory that the Switzerland trip had been specially designed to lure NRI investment.
