Fortis Heart Institute in the dock SAS Nagar, December 11 According to the sons of the patient, Chajju Ram, a resident of Mandi Gobindgarh, their father was brought to the institute on December 4 and operated for blockages in three cardiac vessels on December 7. Following this, he was in the ICU where he died today morning. ‘‘He walked into the hospital on December 4 and today he is no more. He was having the problem for the past many months, but was comfortably travelling in buses and doing his routine work. We brought him here so that his condition could improve, but he has died and it is due to some mistake that the doctors committed while operating on him,
’’says Mr Ram Gopal, Chajju Ram’s son. The family, trading in iron and steel in Mandi Gobindgarh, had in October, this year, brought Chajju Ram to the hospital after he started complaining of pain in the chest. ‘‘An angiography was done and we were told that blood supply to his heart was blocked at three places and a bypass operation will be required.” The patient was taken back by the relatives and brought in again in early December for an operation. According to the relatives, Chajju Ram was in ‘good health’ when he was admitted. He was in high spirits when he was taken for the operation on December 7. We were told that the operation was just a two-hour procedure. But it took eight hours in his case and we were told that our father was given eight bypasses as more vessels were found to be blocked. Why were we not informed earlier,’’ questioned Mr Ram Gopal. The relatives of Chajju Ram also met the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr R.V. Karanjekar, who later talked to Chandigarh Tribune. Denying that Chajju Ram had died due to negligence, Dr Karanjekar said the patient was a high-risk case being a cardiac patient, a heavy smoker, hypertensive and diabetic. ‘‘In such cases, the odds are against you. We have done our best and the post-operative support to this patient cannot be questioned as it was the best possible,’’ he said. The relatives, on the other hand, denied that Chajju Ram was suffering from any of these problems. While the doctors said that the patient had been implanted with a stent following a cardiac problem in 1996, the relatives denied any such implantation stating that he had undergone ballooning in 1996 and was alright after that. Less than a week ago, Farida, a resident of Muzzafarpur and the wife of a 37-year-old patient who had died following an operation at the Fortis Heart Institute, had alleged, in a complained to The Tribune, that her husband died due to negligence of doctors operating on him. According to her, her husband, Mohammad Usman, died as he was operated on for a single vessel block when he actually had to be operated for three vessel block. The Fortis Heart Institute MD, Dr R.V. Karanjekar, said he would look into the complaint. |

Lack of security at water works surprises Jacob Chandigarh, December 11 He was on a surprise visit to the water works, where he was told by Mr S.K. Aggarwal, in charge of water works, that the contract of the security firm providing the security had lapsed on November 30 and a fresh tender for security of water works was yet to be floated. The Administrator said security of the water works could not be compromised and alternate arrangements should have been made by the Chandigarh Police to secure the water works. He instructed the Inspector General of Police, Mr Rajesh Kumar, to provide security at all water works sites. General Jacob expressed concern over “sarkanda” overgrowth around the water works, especially near the boundary wall. The SDO concerned was directed to make arrangements to clear the overgrowth at the earliest. The General expressed overall satisfaction at the quality of water being supplied through the water works. General Jacob also paid a surprise visit to the Government Dispensary at Maloya. Dr Amravati informed him that over 100 patients visited the dispensary every day and there were 28 tuberculosis cases in the village. General Jacob asked the doctor to monitor the tuberculosis cases so that there was no relapse. The Administrator also interacted with the villagers during which they expressed satisfaction at the quality of service being provided by the Government Dispensary in the village. Later, General Jacob paid a surprise visit to Government Secondary School, Maloya. General Jacob expressed concern over seeing tiny tots take their exams sitting on the floor. The Headmistress clarified that over 250 more benches for the students were required as the number of benches supplied to the school earlier were not adequate. General Jacob said he would ask the Home Secretary to make arrangements to supply adequate number of benches to the school. General Jacob also assured to look into the demands of upgrading the school to Class XII level. He said a double-storey block currently under construction should be extended up to four storeys to cater to additional classes. |

United in death Chandigarh, December 11 The two must have planned it all. His left hand and her right hand were held together with a red dupatta, exactly the way they are in marriage ceremony. Cops at the site were of the opinion that the couple might have embraced each other before plunging into the water. The fact, they insisted, was apparent from the position of the bodies. The incident brought back to the memory another suicide pact a couple had entered in, way back in 1996. The two, residents of Sector 26, had also plunged into the lake from the tower in the clear view of early morning walkers. The girl was, saved, while the boy’s body had surfaced after a few days. Today, the family of the two refused to talk about the incident. They were too shocked to comment, but kept saying that they had no knowledge of the “affair”. About 10 this morning, the bodies got entrapped in a net laid down by the police. A huge crowd had gathered at the spot. The families of both victims
Yesterday it had become clear that the bodies, on the lake bed, were of Puspha and Sanjay Kumar as their families had identified the cardigans, sandals and wrist watch, lying in the pedal boat. All doubts were cleared by 10.30 am when the bodies were fished out. Twentytwo-year-old Sanjay was wearing a sky blue shirt over navy blue trousers, while Pushpa was clad in a yellow kurta-salwar with flowers printed on it. Sanjay was a resident of Sector 7, while Pushpa a resident of Indira Colony, Mani Majra. On the day of the suicide, the police was clueless about the identity of the two. But yesterday, a phone call from the office of Sanjay Kumar, who did not reach his place of work in SAS Nagar on Monday, set his family looking for him at local hospitals and police stations. His brother, Mr Ashok Kumar, saw his scooter parked at the lake. The lunch box was also lying in the scooter. It was Mr Ashok Kumar who identified the cardigan as being that of Sanjay’s. Sanjay is survived by two sisters, a brother and parents. His father is an employee with the Income Tax Department. Yesterday, while talking to Chandigarh Tribune, family of Sanjay had denied any knowledge of his relationship with Pushpa. A friend of Sanjay, had also claimed absence of knowledge about the relationship. The father of Pushpa Mr Raghubir Dutt, had also denied any knowledge that his daughter knew Sanjay. He had also identified the belongings of her daughter at the Mani Majra police station. On December 9, the police had received information that a boy and girl had gone missing in the lake while
pedalling a boat. |

Beopar mandal’s
bandh call Chandigarh, December 11 The mandal claimed that all leading political parties of Chandigarh, including the BJP and the Congress, will join the dharna. The President of the mandal, Mr Jagdish Arora, constituted 20 committees with a specific task to cover specific groups of markets to prepare for the coming bandh as well as to gear up for a long agitation.

MC POLL WARD NOs 5, 6 Panchkula, December 11 While the electorate of ward No. 5 ,i.e. Sector 8 , thinks that the main issue for the elections is better policing and street lighting, voters of Sector 17 and 18 feel that the main problem is the seasonal rivulet flowing along the backside of these Sectors and unhygienic conditions, especially because of the proximity of two of the biggest slum colonies- Rajiv Colony and Indira Colony. Though the Congress has still not announced its decision to participate in these elections, various contenders from these two wards, most owing allegiance to the party, as well as the candidates of the BJP have already started their campaigning. In ward No. 5, the grapevine has it that Ms. Jagdamba Gupta is a strong contender, while in ward No. 6- Brig R.S. Sharma , Mr S.K. Kapoor and Mr Baldev Nayar have begun their election campaigning. In ward No. 6, the problem of separating the two sectors from the slum colonies and the beautification of the seasonal nullah passing through this ward. As many as 7326 voters (3545 and 3781 in ward No. 3 and 4 respectively) will exercise their franchise to elect their representative to the Municipal Council. While ward No. 5 is reserved for women, the other is a general ward and politicking to field candidates has begun in earnest. Most residents of these wards also feel that civic amenities- repair and maintenance of internal roads, better street lighting facilities, cleanliness; and better policing are the main issues they would like to redress. Ms Yogita Gupta , a resident of Sector 8 (ward No. 5), said the internal roads in the Sector need proper
maintenance and having their own elected representative would bring more accountability in providing basic services to the township. Even the residents of ward No. 6 say that the main issues for the MC elections will be better street lighting, maintenance of internal roads and regular removal of garbage, finding a permanent solution to stray cattle menace and regular water supply. |

Delimitation
of wards not fair, residents Dera Bassi, December 11 According to them, the exercise was carried out in such a way that no new wards were created. The residents allege that wards have been earmarked again in such a way that in some cases only the numbers of the wards have been changed without changing their area. The Ward No. 1 has been renamed as Ward No. 13, 4 as 7, 8 as 9 and 11 as 12. Moreover, some parts of the Ward No. 6 have been merged with Ward Nos. 4 and 5. Similarly the Ward No. 3 has been merged with Ward Nos. 1 and 2, so that some strong aspirants can be kept at a bay from contesting from this ward, alleges Mr Jaswant Rai Bawa, a senior Congress leader and an aspirant. Of the 13 wards of the civic body, seven have been reserved (four for women, one for SC women, one for SC men and one for contestants from the Backward Classes while the rest of the wards have been kept open for general category candidates. Over 12 aspirants have filed written objections with the Secretary of the Department of Local Government, Punjab, and the State Election Commissioner over the biased delimitation of wards by the Ward Delimitation Committee. Mr Guriqbal Singh Punia, an aspirant has alleged that the committee, in connivance with some politically influential persons, has created two Wards (No. 8 and 6) in such a way that about 10 strong aspirants, including Mr Paras Jain, a former councillor, Mr Mohan Lal, Dr Sushil Rajkumar, a sitting councillor, Dr Narinder Kumar, Ms Anita Dhiman and some other sitting councillors, cannot jump into the fray. This has been done deliberately to benefit a particular group, he says. According to Mr Manjit Singh Bhatia, a local resident, the Ward Delimitation Committee has violated norms while deciding on reservation of wards. “Instead of giving the reservation cycle a clockwise turn, the members of the committee turned it the other way round,” he says. Residents of the area say that there was no need to conduct delimitation of wards as the population has fallen instead of going up in the past five years. The elections should have been conducted on the basis of old delimitation, they say. Meanwhile, Mr Ashok Kumar Sikka, Deputy Director of the Department of Local Government, Punjab, maintains that the delimitation of wards has been done as per rules. After hearing objections filed by the residents and aspirants, the government will look into the matter, he adds. Meanwhile, if allegations levelled by a former president of the Dera Bassi MC, Mr Jagjit Singh Dalli, are to be believed, his house has been included in a ward reserved for the Scheduled Caste candidates. This, he alleges, has been done with a malafied intension.

EATING OUT Chandigarh, December 11 Begun soon after Independence in 1947 by Kundan Lal Gujral in a makeshift shop in Daryaganj, Delhi, the joint has gone from strength to strength with the Gujral sons and grandsons dotting New Delhi with their brand of 'mahals' since 1972. Chandigarhians were a privileged lot when, on December 1, Ashim Gujral announced the opening of the restaurant's branch in Sector 17 (on the Bridge Road, adjacent to Mehfil). And what makes it special is that it's a venture of our own city lad, Sanjay Ahuja. While Sanjay's love for food motivated him to diversify into this hospitality business, his dress designer wife Sonia has pitched in to give elegant interiors with her sense of elegance and refinement. His mother Sulochna (yes, of the famous beauty clinic, Sulochna Beauty World) who strongly believes that what we eat reflects on our health and faces ensures that minimum fat and spices go into the preparations. To all these heady ingredients, add the expertise of the Moti Mahal chefs and Manager John and you get a gorgeously delicious recipe. As you wait for your order, the soft instrumental music activates your salivary glands even as the chic décor, candles, chandeliers and classy artefacts and bric a brac highlighting the alcoves draw your attention. Through the sheer lacy curtains (thankfully, they are not the thick upholstery, shutting out the view), you get the satisfaction of seeing your vehicle parked safely across the road. The predominantly brown and orange colour scheme of the cutlery and furniture goes well with burning hot tikkas and kebabs served courteously by liveried waiters from the platter, straight from the tandoor. The special smoky flavour, browning and tenderness of the meat or veggies are retained because despite the proliferation of numerous electric cooking gadgets, Moti Mahal has stuck to the good old clay tandoor for its delicacies to simmer. And emphasis is laid on presentation. The palette well garnished with onion ringlets, green cabbage strips, and red tomato pieces offsetting the piece de resistance for a moment competes with the bright bouquets of roses, gerberas, ferns and sunflowers occupying a pride of place on the cabinets. As they say, the gratification of a meal is a result of the indulgence of all three senses - sight (eyes), aroma (nose) and taste (tongue). While a range of soups, salads and starters whet your appetite, you have a choice of curried specialties, mutton, paneer, fish, vegetables and biryani with the accompaniment of raita and papad to select from. A must-have is the tangy chicken lemon coriander soup (Rs 60) followed by chicken chaat (Rs 65) or kabulee chaat (Rs 45, for the veggies) topped with special masala. The starters tray is incomplete without the intoxicating chicken pakora (Rs 245) and enticing chicken garlic kebab (Rs 210) or the royal chicken
afghani that is marinated in cream enriched with cashewnut and almond paste (Rs 210).For the mutton lovers, the barrah kebab raan-e-sikandari (Rs 325) is feast in itself as the whole leg of lamb is marinated overnight in rich condiments. If you want to have a little of a lot of these in one dish, opt for the tandoori platter (Rs 256) which is an assortment of non-veg kebabs served on a sizzler. On the veggie front, paneer achari tikka (Rs 100) and bharwain tandoori aloo (Rs 90) leave the tastebuds tingling for more. |

MARKET SPOTLIGHT -17C Tribune News Service Till November 7, the market was upbeat having come up as one of the top performers in the Sector 17 as indicated by the sale of coupons during the post Divali shopping festival in this part of the market but now it could be desolated for some time at least as the tool of eviction will now be available with property owners who could get a shop evicted within a maximum period of one year as per the amended Civil Procedure Code. Governing Council members of the 120-member Business Promotion Council of Sector 17 from this sub-sector market known as Sector 17 C-1, Arun Talwar, Neeraj Bajaj and Darpan Kapoor were in agreement that in fact eviction would start within 15 days as now owners would impose costs in courts. They said one of the first victims of the change in the rent act and a popular music shop was going to close down from here due to a higher rent demanded after the notification. The three of the 13-member Governing Council members said the market had just started picking up between 5 and 7 years despite being started in early seventies. One of the first comers to the market, Neeraj Bajaj who opened a
popular Sindhi Sweets shop in July 1976. remembers he along with Krishna Carpets came to the market when there was nothing between the two shops. He said for the initial 15 years, he had to pay rent from the pocket. The market started stabilising from early 1990s after seeing spurts of shifting by traders who came to set up their shops and had to pack up within couple of years due to high rents. This phenomenon was seen mostly through the second half of the eighties. It had started looking up after 1984 but the dark days of terrorism have had a negative impact on the growth of the market in this period. The Sindhi Sweets chain started from this market and later on addition of other major shops, mostly of branded products, kept on multiplying. The market today has a big presence of shops of ready made garments, carpets, cloth, music stores, restaurants,
jewellers, shoes, famous ladies and gents tailors and franchises of Lee, Wrangler and Blackberry. It attracts a large number of around 52000 to 60,000 visitors a day to the market if the Sahib Singh and adjacent parking lots behind Sindhi Sweets were to be any indication of their sizes. These parking lots are the biggest in Sector 17 and had been fetching highest revenue to the Municipal Corporation going by the contract amount. The Kapson's proprietor Darpan Kapoor says he shifted in 1989 and within a couple of years only the market started being recognised by shoppers. Shopkeepers here also feel threatened by the fact that with the large number of possible evictions, they would be forced to compete with other markets like Manimajra and sectors 19 and 22. They are full of ideas to improve conditions in the market but those who are supposed to change things -- politicians and bureaucracy -- do not seem to give a heed to their problems. Shopkeepers feeling pushed to the wall are suggesting creation of a sector level committee on the pattern adopted by the Chandigarh Administration in the pre-municipal corporation eara for a speedy progress of the market. They feel the Municipal Corporation could also get the municipal act amended to allow the market send a nominated representative to the municipal body. The other option could be that the corporation itself created a sector level committee. The T-shaped market stretches from shop number 71 to 119 and shop number 130 to 152. |
