Tivoli to add 1000 rooms to inventory by 2010
Chosen destinations include New Delhi, Dehradun, Manesar and Jaipur
Friday, February 15, 2008 (12:00 IST)
By Arti Saggi and P Krishna Kumar | New Delhi

TG Leisure and Resorts, owner of the Tivoli hotel brand, plans to become a 1000 room hotel company by the end of 2010. The hospitality company will add rooms through different properties, which are in the pipeline. Chosen destinations include New Delhi, Dehradun, Manesar and Jaipur.

Apart from their existing property at Chhatarpur, New Delhi, the group will come up with a 35 room boutique hotel at a prime location in GT Road, in the northern district of Delhi.
According to Puneet Gupta, Managing Director, Tivoli Garden Resort Hotel, the hotel's trial run has already begun.

The company is also awaiting plan approval for a 150 room hotel in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. It is a service apartment model with conferencing facilities. "The property is a green, open property with an IT Park in the vicinity. Construction will take almost two years after obtaining the plan sanctions," informs Gupta.

Another big project is a 350 room property at Manesar, Haryana. The property will have a conference hall which holds 3,000 people. "Essentially, the hotel will be a business property to tap into the growing demand for such hotels in the area. This is due to Fortune 500 companies setting up shop there," adds Gupta.

The company has also acquired a four acre property on the Jaipur-Ajmer Expressway. It plans to construct a 350 room hotel on the land.

Adding to the chain's room inventory is a 50 room property in a 1,000 sq yard area at Lajpat Nagar, on Ring Road, New Delhi. "We look forward to finishing construction of all the properties by 2010. This is in order to avail of the tax holiday announced by the government in the last budget," says Gupta.

The real estate division of the company is also developing its first real estate property at Dharuhera, close to New Delhi. The eight acre property will have 536 holiday condominium units under the Club Tivoli brand. The condominiums have the minimum gestation period. The group expects to pay the unit owners back within 11 months.

The company is looking to take these models into tier II cities, specifically Goa and Himachal Pradesh. It plans to build upscale condos and villas at these locations.

Maneri Bhali II power project begins operation

BS reported that Uttarakhand can now hope to get rid of its acute power crisis as 304 MW Maneri Bhali phase II hydel project in Uttarkashi district is starting production. After months of dithering, Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited has finally managed to produce 56 MW of power from the project. Significantly, this is the first time that UJVNL has started producing power in the state since its inception in 2001.

Comprising four units of 76 MW each, the project is having a 16 kilometer long diversion tunnel for which a barrage has also been built. The civil work of the project has been carried out by the Uttarakhand irrigation department. For the construction of the project, UJVNL took a loan of INR 1,200 crore from the Power Finance Commission.

UJVNL officials said that due to less flow in the Bhagirathi river, they are operating only one turbine with 76 MW. They added that “As the water level in the river increases, we will be able to generate more power.”

Maneri Bhali project was scheduled to be commissioned on November 9th 2007 coinciding with the Uttarakhand formation day. But due to some technical and rehabilitation problems, the commissioning date was postponed for an indefinite period.

कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रा मार्ग: सड़क बनाने को हैलीकाप्टर से जायेंगे उपकरणFeb 21, 02:28 am

पिथौरागढ़। तीन दशक के लम्बे इंतजार के बाद आखिरकार भारत सरकार ने तिब्बत सीमा तक सड़क बनाने के लिए स्वीकृति दे दी। बेहद विषम भौगोलिक परिस्थितियों वाले इस क्षेत्र में सड़क बनाने के लिए हैलीकाप्टर से उपकरण ले जाये जायेंगे, जिसके लिए सीमा सड़क संगठन इस क्षेत्र में छ: हैलीपैड बनायेगा। सड़क बन जाने पर कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रा में 12 दिन कम लगेंगे।

मालूम हो भारत-तिब्बत को जोड़ने के लिए अभी तक इस क्षेत्र में कोई सड़क नही है, जबकि चीन भारतीय सीमा तक काफी पहले सड़क और रेल ट्रेक बिछा चुका है,लेकिन भारतीय क्षेत्र में अभी तक सड़क का निर्माण नहीं हो सका है, जिस कारण इस क्षेत्र में स्थित सैकड़ों गांवों के लोग और हर वर्ष आयोजित होने वाली कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रियों को खासी परेशानी उठानी पड़ती है।

सीमांत वासियों की मांग, कैलाश यात्रा और सामरिक कारणों से केन्द्र सरकार ने तीन दशक पूर्व प्रस्तावित घटियाबगड़- लिपुलेख मार्ग को अब स्वीकृति दे दी। गृह मंत्रालय ने सड़क स्वीकृति का शासनादेश जारी कर दिया है। सड़क निर्माण का जिम्मा पिथौरागढ़ में तैनात सीमा सड़क संगठन की इकाई 65 आरसीसी को दिया गया है। संगठन ने सड़क स्वीकृति की पुष्टि करते हुए बताया कि पहले चरण में दस किलोमीटर सड़क की स्वीकृति दी गयी है। क्षेत्र की विषम भौगोलिक परिस्थितियों को देखते हुए यहां हैलीकाप्टरों के जरिये सड़क निर्माण के उपकरण ले जाये जायेंगे। जिसके लिए आधा दर्जन हैलीपैड बनाये जाने की योजना है। पूरी सड़क बनने में चार से पांच वर्ष का समय लगने की उम्मीद है। इस सड़क के बन जाने से जहां सीमांत के सैकड़ों गांवों के लोगों को सीधा लाभ मिलेगा, वहीं इस क्षेत्र से संचालित होने वाली कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रा भी सुविधाजनक होगी। मालूम हो सड़क के अभाव में कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रियों को गाला से लेकर लिपूलेख तक सात दिन पैदल यात्रा करनी होती है। इस दौरान यात्री छ: हजार फिट से सत्रह हजार फिट तक की चढ़ाई चढ़ते है। जिसमें यात्री खासे परेशान रहते है। सड़क का निर्माण हो जाने पर सात दिन की यात्रा एक दिन में पूरी हो सकेगी।

अस्कोट अभ्यारण्य भी बना समस्या

पिथौरागढ़: घटियाबगड़-लिपुलेख मोटर मार्ग स्वीकृति में हुए विलम्ब का सबसे बड़ा कारण अस्कोट अभ्यारण्य रहा। गौरतलब है कि अभ्यारण्य में गैर वानिकी कार्य पूरी तरह प्रतिबंधित है,लेकिन विशेष परिस्थितियों में इस तरह के कार्य हो सकते है,लेकिन इसके लिए कई स्तरों पर स्वीकृति लेनी होती है। इसी कारण के चलते सड़क निर्माण को स्वीकृति मिलने में खासा विलम्ब हुआ।

Recently the BJP ruled Uttarakhand Government (Feb 2008) has announced that it will procure cow’s urine, on the pattern similar to the procurement of milk by dairies, refine it and sell it to Ayurvedic pharmacies. Other BJP ruled Governments are also working on similar lines.

Cow has been having a central place in the political symbolism of RSS combine. The place of this symbolism may be only next to Lord Ram. On these premises, so far cow has been projected as mother. In its major campaign against minorities’ right since 1950s, BJP predecessor Bharatiya Jansangh, had undertaken a nationwide, Desh Dharm ka nata Hai Gau Hamari mata hai (Cow is related to us through our religion and nation as mother) and also Janm Janm Ka Nata hai Gau hamari Mata hai (Cow is our mother in our every birth). Since Muslims, one does not know why Christians were not targeted for it, are not prohibited from eating beef and since many a butcher belong to Kasai (butchers) occupation, this fact has been used to demonize the Muslim community. We worship cows, they eat, they butcher cows! This has been used to rouse the sentiments of majority community time and over again.

With Uma Bharati becoming the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh (2005) for a brief while, she introduced cow based economy, funds for Goshalas (cow sheds) were given from Government treasury, and her official residence became the first such Goshala. Cow based economy aimed at promoting cow products as the core of economy. The present effort now transcends the earlier efforts as faith is being transformed into blind faith. The Government’s move to collect urine, to procure it, refine it and sell it as a medicine defies all the logic of science and medicine. It is converting the political symbolism into health related prescription which is fraught with dangers.

As such urine is a product excreted through kidneys and contains the waste metabolites. It can also contain the bacteria, bovine tuberculosis for example, and other harmful germs and metabolic products. The biochemical studies of urine have clearly shown its composition. There are some who claim magic healing powers of drinking one’s own urine, called Shivambhu, the most famous consumer of the same was Morarji Desai. Some claim that it contains antibodies which act against the harmful diseases affecting our body, but analytically and biochemical it has not been proven so far. Physiologically kidneys do not let the antibodies pass out of the body as the molecular weight of antibodies is much more than the pore of the kidney membrane. Of course when kidney is damaged, these antibodies can pass out, not when the cow is healthy.

Murali Manohar Joshi, who as MHRD minister initiated the introduction of faith based disciplines like Astrology, Paurohuitya (Ritualism) also diverted some of the funds for doing cow research. One CSIR lab went to the extent of obtaining a patent on a pharmaceutical composition contating cow urine distillate and an antibiotic. Another CSIR lab, in collaboration with a NGO undertook a study to see the effectiveness of cow urine in cancer treatment. Our own ayurveda does not mention any medicinal use of cow urine.

Ayurveda as such has lot of valuable empirical observations which can be deepened by rooting them on firmer rational grounds but that is shrouded in mystery and faith and any questioning of it meets angry protesters, who claim their faith is under threat. Baba Ramdeo does claim that his ‘Ramdeosim’ is scientific but forgets that the basic premise of science is peer review, facing the questions and a constant transcendence of inadequacies in our knowledge system. The faith based enterprise of Ramdeo is too individualistic, too much dipped in faith and has too little to offer on rational grounds.

Same is the method of cow medicine, too much faith, and that too of blind variety, too much assertion and zero scientific research. One will like to explore the veterinary sciences to see if there is something drastically right in cow’s excreta in contrast to the excreta of bullock or buffalo or a dog for that matter. Also one does recall the claims of the section that cow dung has purifying effect. Impurity brought in by the shudras touching of water was undone by mixing cow dung with the water touched by a dalit.

The basic difference between medical sciences, empiricism, and grandma’s medicine needs to be understood before state Government investing and promoting cow excreta, urine, for human consumption and application. Mercifully one has not heard so far of such efforts to promote cow dung. The present effort by the BJP government is an extension of RSS combine’s cow politics. It is totally against the understanding of modern medicinal sciences and also has no mention in the traditional wisdom gained over a period of time.

In a way it is the translation of RSS combine’s political understanding in to the arena of application to human society. In some Islamic countries, on similar lines, state sponsored research to undertake the study on djinns to solve the energy problem. As per mythology djinns are supposed to be infinite source of energy so why bother about oil and electricity when these blessed beings can solve our problems for good. Surely these will also prevent the wars which are taking place in the globe for controlling the energy reserves. And not on a very different track, Christian right is asserting creation science to oppose the theory of evolution.

These efforts have no rational and scientific basis, something which our constitution ordains us to follow in the public domain. Social auditing of efforts, which affect human health are mandatory, control by bodies sanctioning the drugs and other medicinal means are an absolute must for public safety, all the claims of politics notwithstanding.

As such enough of politics has been woven around cow. Just a few years ago, one of the eminent historians of Ancient India, Prof. D.N. Jha, came out with a book on the dietary habits in ancient India, which showed that beef was one of the major items consumed in Ancient India. The move to project Cow as holy animal, mother, was a response to the non violence propounded by Lord Gautam Buddha. With the rise of agricultural society the cattle wealth was to be preserved. As people started embracing Buddhism, the aggressive reaction of Brahmanism came up at theological, social and political level. Cow was projected as the symbol of rising Brahmanism, as a counter to the non-violence of Buddha, and has remained so through centuries. Many a Mughal kings in deference to these sentiments, to respect the feeling of the section of society, advised against cow slaughter. Babar in his will writes to his son Humayun to avoid the slaughter of cows.

In Hindutva politics also there are many streams. While Savarkar called cow as a useful animal, the other sections ignited the emotions against Muslims around cow. Irrespective of that many a poor Hindus and Adivasi did consume beef. Incidentally it is amongst the cheapest source of protein for the poor. Many a surveys showed that a vast number of Indian communities consume beef. RSS combine’s propaganda went on to assert that Muslims are violent and one of the reasons is that they consume beef. This is so much against the pyschosoiological understanding of the human mind and the violence. While one knows that beef is a staple diet in major parts of the World, one also knows and modern psychological theories demonstrate that violence does not emerge from diet but from social and political situations. Beef can surely build muscle power in conjunction with proper exercises, but violence is in the mind.

Undoubtedly one should respect those regarding cow as their mother. RSS combines’ many followers devote their lives organizing fodder and other supports for Guashalas. Some of them, the upholders of Cow as mother, non violence, go to the extent of justifying violence against dalits on the ground that they were skinning a dead cow as happened in the killings of dalits in Gohana. This cow urine in the pharmacy shops defies all the logic and faith and is directly a threat to health of people of the society. Faith can take such dangerous turns is to be seen to be believed.

Kotdwar gets north's first Army multiplex

Sun, Feb 24 01:05 AM

UTTARAKHAND HAS become the first state in north India to have an Army multiplex. But unlike multiplexes in other places, this facility would address the needs of serving and retired Army personnel, instead of having several screens for watching movies.

Based at Kotdwar in Pauri Garhwal district, Surya Multiplex Facility would provide medical, CSD canteen, staying arrangements and other amenities under one roof for the sizeable serving and retired Army personnel and their families. Although the Army had been trying to set up such a facility in the state for some time to cater to the needs of those stationed or residing in hill areas, it had been unable to do so due difficult terrain and poor means of communication.

Inaugurating the complex, Lieutenant General O.P.

Nandrajog, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (Central Command), said Uttarakhand was the first choice for setting up such a facility due to its strategic importance and the state's contribution to the armed forces. "Well being of troops and their families, especially the veterans, has always been a priority issue for me and apart from this multiplex we have set up number of transit facilities at Mana, Gagaria, Badasu, Gangotri and Hemkund," he said.

Lt. Gen.

Nandrajog said, in order to address the needs of retired and serving personnel and to provide better facilities to them, he has had several meetings with Chief Minister B.C.

Khanduri, a retired Major General himself. To ensure that veterans as well as serving personnel don't face any problems during their holidays, he said the Army has fully renovated the Holiday Homes located at Nainital and Mussoorie.

A large number of senior Army officers including Lieutenant General (Retired) H.B.

Kala, Brigadier Ajai Prakash, Commandant Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre and Brigadier S.H.

Kulkarni, Commander Uttarakhand Sub Area were present at the function. Although the multiplex falls in his home district, Chief Minister B.

C. Khanduri and BJP candidate for Pauri Lok Sabha by-poll TPS (a retired Lieutenant General), who were busy campaigning for Sunday's polling, were not present on the occasion.

उत्तराखंड को मिलेंगे दो लाख नए गैस कनेक्शनFeb 29, 02:03 am

देहरादून। पेट्रोलियम पदार्थाें एवं खाद्यान्न की कमी से निजात दिलाने को लेकर राज्य सरकार की केंद्र स्तर पर हुई वार्ता सकारात्मक रही। कुकिंग गैस किल्लत दूर करने के लिए पेट्रोलियम मंत्रालय उत्तराखंड को दो लाख नए कनेक्शन देने सहमत हो गया है। साथ ही केरोसिन कोटे में की गई कटौती को बहाल करने का वायदा भी किया है। एपीएल श्रेणी के गेहूं का संकट खत्म करने का रास्ता तलाशने की भी बात कही।

पिछले काफी अरसे से उत्तराखंड में खाद्यान्न, केरोसिन और कुकिंग गैस की किल्लत है। एपीएल श्रेणी का गेहूं तो कुल जरूरत का एक चौथाई ही मिल पा रहा है। कई महीनों से सरकार इन मसलों के समाधान को लेकर हाथ-पांव मार रही थी। यहां तक कि खाद्य मंत्रालय ने सर्वदलीय बैठक कराने के साथ ही प्रदेश के सांसदों का सहयोग लेने की पहल भी की, पर परिणाम कुछ नहीं निकला। कई महीनों से केंद्र के साथ वार्ता का प्रयास भी चल रहा था, अब जाकर समय मिल पाया। खाद्य मंत्री दिवाकर भट्ट ने दिल्ली में पेट्रोलियम मंत्री मुरली देवड़ा और केंद्रीय खाद्य मंत्री शरद पंवार को यहां की स्थिति से अवगत कराया। आज यहां पत्रकारों को इस उच्चस्तरीय वार्ता का ब्योरा देते हुए खाद्य मंत्री श्री भट्ट ने पूर्व में प्रदेश को 12000 केएल केरोसिन मिलता था, इसे घटाकर 9600 केएल कर दिया गया। इस बारे में केंद्रीय पेट्रोलियम मंत्री ने जानकारी दी कि सभी राज्यों का कोटा नियत कर दिया गया है, नई मांग शामिल करना संभव नहीं है पर उन्होंने पूर्व कोटे में की गई कटौती को बहाल करने का भरोसा जरूर दिलाया है। श्री भट्ट ने बताया कि पेट्रोलियम मंत्रालय ने उत्तराखंड को दो लाख नए गैस कनेक्शन जारी करने का वायदा किया है। इससे मैदानी क्षेत्रों में केरोसिन की खपत का आंकड़ा नीचे आएगा। इसका उपयोग पहाड़ी इलाकों में किया जा सकेगा।
