Another high: 10,000 cast no-vote
Despite Training, Polling Officers Caught Unawares On Rule 49(O) Procedures
times of india 14/05/09
Chennai:More than 10,000 people in the city opted for Rule 49(O), which allows the voter to mark his presence at the polling booth, but not cast his vote for any candidate. However, in many cases election officers were caught unawares.
Despite the election department’s claims of having conducted training for polling officers, many of them had no clue about the option. A few officials who knew that it existed, however, were not familiar with the right procedure to be followed. Corporation commissioner and district electoral officer Rajesh Lakhoni admitted that the turnout was unexpectedly big.
V Gopalakrishnan, a social activist, was the first at the MGR Corporation School in Chennai South constituency to ask for the Rule 49 (O) option. “The polling officer at booth 136 was totally blank. Then he asked me to ‘vote for some candidate and leave’. When I insisted on entering my refusal to vote in the 17A register, he called the zonal officer, who was equally ignorant. Finally, I called the district electoral officer and, after 90 minutes of struggle, got it done,” said Gopalakrishnan.
Dr S Murugasundaram, a dermatologist and a voter of ward 70 of Kilpauk in Chennai Central, had a similar experience when he went to vote at 8am. “The officer was rude when told about 49(O). He asked me not to create a ruckus and leave the place. However, I stood my ground and registered my refusal to vote,” he said.
Several people complained of policemen threatening them when they refused to leave the polling booths without registering their names under Rule 49(O) to prevent bogus voting in their names.
V Anandarajan of Nanganallur, which falls under the Sriperumbudur constituency, found the exercise smoother, but the officer there refused to apply indelible ink on his finger though the rule specifies that ink should be marked on the voter’s finger. All this, despite posters in front of polling booths mentioning the rule and the procedure being explained in the polling officer’s handbook (page 39).
According to Gopalakrishnan, what compounded the confusion was the use of the Tamil word ‘padivam’ (form) to describe 17A instead of ‘padivedu’ (register) under rule 49(O). Voters insisted on a form, while all they had to do was to sign in the register which others did, too, and mention in the remarks column ‘refuse to vote’.
Admitting there was widespread confusion, corporation commissioner and district electoral officer Rajesh Lakhoni said an unexpectedly large number of people opted for rule 49 (O). “Some officials may not have taken the training seriously and nobody anticipated such a large number of people choosing the option,” he said.
In Sriperumbudur constituency, residents affected by the expansion of Chennai airport had pledged to exercise the ‘no vote’ option to express displeasure at the indifference shown by political parties to their plight. But only 60 exercised it at different polling booths in Manapakkam, Gerugambakkam, Kolapakkam, Kovur and Tarapakkam in the constituency. The rest of them chose to boycott the polls, frightened of being harassed by agents of political parties.
Brinda Brighton, an office bearer of the United Peoples’ Forum for Survival, formed by affected residents, said: “People are now afraid of local agents of political parties. There is no privacy in exercising the ‘no vote’ option because we have to ask the presiding officer for form 17A and we are identified by party agents. At least in the next polls, the Election Commission should make it possible for people to exercise the option on the EVMs.”
CASTING THEIR DISPLEASURE More than 10,000 people in the city opted for Rule 49(O), which allows the voter to mark his presence at the booth but not cast his vote for any candidate
Despite the election department’s claims of having conducted training for polling officers, many of them had no clue about the option
Though residents affected by the expansion of Chennai airport had pledged to exercise the no-vote option to express displeasure at the indifference shown by political parties to their plight, only 60 exercised the right

RTI activists use hi-tech gadgets in fight for rights
RTI activists use hi-tech gadgets in fight for rightsMay 3rd, 2009
By Our Correspondent Vellore, May 2: A number of RTI activists have turned tech-savvy by adopting high-end gadgets to exposae malpractices and corruption in the public and private sectors.
Nearly 20 to 30 activists in Chennai, Tiruvannamalai and Vellore districts have been using gadgets such as spy cam (pen and button type with 4 GB storage capacity), spy cam (antenna model) annexed in laptops, micro voice recorders, mobile camera and mobile video recorders.
“I have been using pen-type spy camera. I can record continuously for one-and-a-half hours as the tiny device comes with a rechargeable battery with 4 GB storage facility,” said Mr V. Gopalakrishnan, an RTI activist, who exposed corruption in implementing welfare schemes in Vellore taluk office using the device.
The devices also play the role of self-protection gears for the activists, he said, adding, “When I filed an RTI application seeking information about the list of beneficiaries in welfare schemes in Vellore taluk office, two persons had approached and threatened me to withdraw the petition. But I recorded their speech using the pen-type spy camera without their knowledge and took the issue to higher officials and the police department.”
Mr Gopalakrishnan and three of his friends have also been using an antenna-type spy cam and static camera at a visiting room in their respective house or office. Mr Vinod Jain, member of FACT India, said the modern devices have been of great help to get justice. Around 10 co-members of the organisation have been using the devices during sting operations to expose malpractices, misuse of power and corruption in public and private sectors.
Lack of knowledge about the devices among the officials helps us to expose the corruption, he said. Finding the trendy spy cam handy to uncover malpractices and create crucial evidence to bring the truth to light, the activists and members of several NGOs are going for it.

மெட்ரோ வாட்டர்
CHENNAI: For a few hours each day for the past seven years, the residents of MGR Nagar have been witness to a sore sight. Untreated sewage, first
in a trickle and later in a rush and allegedly from a faulty pipeline, has been flowing into the MGR Nagar canal near KK Nagar. And, residents allege, the Chennai Metrowater Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) or Metrowater has done nothing.
The canal, a carrier of flood water, has been providing relief to areas like MGR Nagar, Nesapakkam and K K Nagar for decades. "It appears that a Metrowater pipeline, which takes untreated sewage from the pumping station in nearby Bharathidasan Colony to the one in MGR Nagar and which runs close to the canal, is faulty. Sewage from this is damaging the entire water network," C Kandavelu, a resident, told TOI. Compounding the problem, a corporation public toilet abutting the canal lets out waste into the canal, reportedly because it does not have a proper disposal system.
About 0.6 million litres of sewage, according to official records, flows through the pipeline a day. Now, an entire canal is under threat. The Adyar river flows close to the canal. "If the government agencies themselves become offenders, to whom will the public complain?" says Neela of Bharathidasan Main Road.
On Wednesday, social activist V Gopalakrishnan had a chance to check the pumping station after he shot off an RTI application seeking details about the reported lapses. But the officials, he said, failed to provide even a route map of the pipelines going out of the pumping station. "We suspect some foul play. Why else will they hide the facts? If the pipelines are close to the canal, there is every possibility of sewage flowing in," Gopalakrishnan adds.
Also, heavy vegetation and mounds of garbage in the canal block the free flow of sewage, leading to high larval density. Residents have been forced to use various repellants as protection from mosquitoes. "No contestant for the upcoming elections has expressed concern about the state of the MGR Nagar canal. It is high time the authorities concerned woke up and acted," said M Leeladevi of Pammal Nallathambi Street, MGR Nagar.
The CMWSSB's Saidapet zone officials, on the other hand, denied any such let-out of sewage. "There is a possibility of sewage flowing out if a pipeline bursts but that hasn't happened," a senior official said. He added that a person had been deployed to look into the issue.
