‘PU
chairs waste of talent’
Professors advocate merger with
depts
Chandigarh, April 29
Will Panjab University merge the
languages chairs with the teaching departments concerned? The answer is
no, at least for the moment. However, the issue is not dead; it may be

Alternatives
of wet-dredging and raising the level of the Sukhna lake by 2 feet are
not the answers to save it from drying up. The only way of making the
life span of the lake equal to that of Chandigarh is to fill it up with
desilted water. This can be done by constructing a filter house fitted
with self-cleansing vertical filters.
