Family members of a school teacher from Chhattisgarh, who went missing at the Indo-Pak border at Wagah three weeks ago, on Sunday appealed to chief minister Raman Singh to take steps to locate him.
There was no trace of Ram Gopal Nishad, headmaster of Bhillai Nagar Government Primary School, nearly 30 km from here, ever since he landed at Wagah border on October 31 along with six of his colleagues, who were on a vacation. His colleagues have already filed a missing report in the Pangarh police station in Wagah after they failed to locate him. According to Mr Nishad’s family members, the seven-member-team had left for Wagah on the fateful day after paying visit to Golden Temple in Amritsar. While visiting Wagah, Mr Nishad went missing. His colleagues waited for him for a long time there. But, when he did not return, they reported about his missing in the nearby police station and then left for Vaishno Devi in Jammu. Later, the team barring Mr Nishad reached Bhillai in the first week of November and reported about his missing to his family members.

BJP: Moily must ensure people get LPG lines
Age Correspondent
New Delhi, Nov. 26
The Delhi BJP on Sunday alleged that the gas agencies have stopped accepting applications for new gas connection and demanded petroleum minister Veerappa Moily to intervene in the matter and ensure that people get LPG connections.
Delhi BJP chief Vijender Gupta also wanted Mr Moily to make arrangements for supplying subsidised cylinders to over four lakh poor families in the city after the government did away with the quota of kerosene to these households.
“Petroleum minister Veerappa Moily should provide new gas connection to the people in Delhi because the gas agencies have stopped booking for new gas connections,” Mr Gupta said in a statement. He alleged that gas agencies in the city are behaving in a “arbitrary manner” after the Union government brought in a new rule that a household will be eligible only for six subsidised cylinders annually.
