Residents
lay siege to police post Ludhiana, August 18 The agitators were miffed at the alleged beating up of two youths picked up with five others for questioning in a burglary case in the colony on last Saturday night. The police released the youths after the dharna. Two of the four alleged victims, Anil Kumar and Uday Kant, were admitted to the civil hospital here. The medical examination report of the injured mentions that the injuries were on account of police torture. Tampers ran high in the area since last afternoon when Umakant, Anil Kumar, Satish, Kuldip Singh and Bitta and two unidentified persons were picked up by the police in connection with the burglary case. Unidentified persons had stolen about 60 tolas of gold jewellery from the house of Gulshan Kumar, a resident of Kirpal
Nagar. The youths were allegedly picked up for questioning on suspicion of their involvement in the case. According to the protesters, the police beat them up mercilessly and chose Anil Kumar and Uday Kant for 'special treatment.' Local congress leader Arun Katyal took up the matter with the police and got them released. However, when the relatives of the youths saw their condition, they were furious and began to gather in numbers. To make matter worse, the police also called the congress leader for
questioning. the mob followed him to the police post. They were told that the youths and the congress leader had been summoned as the burglary victim suspecting their involvement in the case. By now the residents had become restive at the police behaviour and laid a siege to the police post. they raised slogans against the cops and demanded suspension of the staff posted there. The mob took the youths to the Civil Hospital for medical
examination. The two remained hospitalised today as well. Mr Pritam Singh, SP City-II, said the police would conduct a thorough investigation into the matter if the family submitted a formal complaint. |

Allotment
of plot cancelled after inquiry Ludhiana, August 18 The orders were received by the Ludhiana Improvement Trust after the authorities submitted an inquiry report following a complaint. The 500 sq. metre. plot situated at a prime commercial location in Rajguru Nagar area was sold to the owner of a chain of restaurants in the city at the rate of Rs 5,150 per sq metre after open auction on January 31 this year. The price was considered abysmally low compared to the current price of the real estate in the metro city. The control price of this site was fixed at Rs 5,000 and the highest bid was for Rs 5150 only. Authoritative sources in the LIT said the allotment was cancelled, after the inquiry had established enough irregularities in the auction. The inquiry further stated that while other properties were auctioned at a much higher price, this property had gone for a song. The land would be auctioned once again. The officials said it was due to pressure by senior officials of the IT that the plot was sold for this price, causing losses to the trust. Sources, however, said no
responsibility had been fixed. Mr Kultar Singh Jaggi, President of Property Dealers Association, Sanjay Gandhi Colony, had complained to the government about the irregularities. The complaint was taken up seriously and an inquiry ordered. Sources said it was common for the government to receive complaints after every auction but action was taken in few cases. The former Chairperson of the trust had recommended the cancellation of the allotment. Sources said 12 properties other auctioned on the same day had gone for a high prices. A site in Model Town Extension whose control price was Rs 1360 per square yard, had gone for Rs 7,000 per square yard. Similarly, another property at the control price of Rs 13,000 per feet was auctioned at Rs 14,000 per feet, which, according to the officials, was a “very good” price. Mr Rajinder Singh Basant, owner of a chain of restaurants in the city, to whom the plot was allotted, when contacted, said he had decided to move the court against the decision. He said there were not many buyers in the city and he alone had bought the plot. He said there were at least six bidders at the time of auction. |

He pedals 15,000 km each year for peace Ludhiana, August 18 A resident of Sehnata village, district Boombi, Rajasthan, Hari Narayan Sharma runs his own tourist company. He owns three deluxe buses and acres of land besides leading a comfortable life. “People call me whimsical for undertaking such yatras but I do not mind. It is their way of thinking. I feel something should be done for others. My wife has always stood by me,” said Hari Narayan. He has already undertaken half a dozen such journeys on bicycle. It takes months to complete one journey. He says: “This time I am going to Pashupatinath temple (Nepal). Another person from Maharashtra, Devraj, is accompanying me in this journey. It will take almost five months to complete the journey. A journey of over 15,000 km would be completed on bicycles. We will be cross Fulttan (Maharashtra), Ahmednagar, Malegaanv, Indore, Agra, Amarnath and Bodhgaya before reaching Nepal. Hari Narayan considers it to be the blessing of almighty, who gives him the power to undertake the journey every year. He started undertaking these yatras in 1994, when he went with his parents in a train but he then decided to do it on bicycle, that too barefoot. “I have to spend thousands of rupees on each yatra. I do not demand anything from anybody. By the grace of God, we have enough money to accomplish the mission,” he said. The harbinger of peace has built a temple, “Sadbhavna”, on his bicycle. The cost of this temple is around Rs 11,000 and weighs more than 20 kg. “During the journey, we get an opportunity to interact with different kind of people. Some abuse us by saying ‘paagal hai’ (he’s a fool), while others greet us with open arms”, he says. In the 2001, a bomb exploded near his camp and many people lost their lives during Amarnath Yatra. “In one of the incidents, I was saved by the almighty when a bullet whisked past me during a militant attacked on our group. I have witnessed many encounters and am not afraid of death. It is the best companion. It waits for you for long and takes you ultimately,” feels Hari Narayan. These yatras have become a routine for Hari Narayan. He stays away from his family and home for more than five months every year. He says: “I am fully content with what I have. I pray to God for the welfare of the mankind during my
yatras.” |

A maths wizard Ludhiana, August 18 He displayed his skills in division and multiplication of seven digit figures. He made calculations in no time and considering that Pawan Gupta is not even a matriculate makes his skills all the more amazing. The speed at which he calculates is real quick. He
challenges even Shakuntala Devi, who is renowned for solving complex mathematical problems, and claims that he can top her feat. But Pawan does not want to use this skill in astrology, as he has no faith in it. He says: “I have read many books on palmistry, but every book of astrology teaches different ways and hence I have no faith.” His story sounds farcical. He met with an accident in Khanna and went into coma. He remained unconscious for two months in Christian Medical Hospital, Ludhiana. When he regained consciousness, he realised that his memory had become sharper and more powerful. The accident had taken place in 1985. Dr Nath from the USA had visited the CMC last year and was told about the unusual case of Pawan. He conducted a number of tests on him, including MRI, CAT scan. He was puzzled as the reports showed that some of his brain cells were dead. How he has acquired the mathematical skills is still a mystery. No one has an answer to this extraordinary phenomenon. He was very average before the accident. He runs a small business and can maintain his own accounts. Local doctors also cannot figure out what changes had occurred in his brain while he was in coma. One of the doctors says: “It is definitely one of the rare cases.” He was invited to the USA to display his skills, but paucity of funds came as a hindrance. He says: “When I am asked to solve a mathematical problem, the correct number instantly flashes in my brain. In a hurry to jot down the correct answer, I may make an error but the number is clear in my mind. “While I am driving, I see the registration numbers of vehicles on the road and my brain starts factorisation of the numbers. It can be dangerous as I can meet with another accident and lose my fantastic skill.” His skill has not been recognised for the past 18 years and he hopes that somebody will throw a challenge at him and he will emerge as “Mr Right”. |

Where vacant land is a rare sight Ludhiana, August 18 In most of the city areas, particularly around the commercial centres and industrial belts, both sides of the roads, service lanes and other public places are being used by business houses with impunity for parking or other commercial purposes which has further compounded the problem of traffic movement. While many of the industrial units around
Dholewal, Sherpur, Focal Point, Industrial Area: A and B, Industrial Estate and Sunder Nagar have encroached upon space lying in front of their units for parking purposes, a large number of educational institutions are also indulging in the similar practice. As a result, congestion and prolonged traffic jams on the roads where these institutions are located is an every day affair, particularly in the morning and afternoon. The Safai Labour Union of the Municipal Corporation of Ludhiana had recently lodged a complaint with the corporation that a hosiery unit in Sardar Nagar had encroached upon one side of the road by putting up a cycle stand and further digging a bore on a part of the road for installation of a tubewell, which was an unlawful act under the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act. Sometimes back, the corporation had chalked out a plan to carry out a survey of the industrial units and other institutions, who were making unlawful use of public places, including roads and streets, so that penal action could be initiated against them. However, like many other plans, which entail unpleasant work, never saw the light of the day while those making
(mis)use of the roads and public places continue to do so at the cost of a majority of the city population. |

Nagas original natives of India, claims Dr Viyogi Ludhiana, August 18 Dr Viyogi is a DLitt in history and culture from Round Table University, Arizona, USA. Dr Viyogi has come out with a thesis that the history taught in schools, colleges and universities was invented by colonial historians who deliberately eroded the glorious history of the native people of India, who were Nagas. Presently, Dr Viyogi is working on the ancient history of India and busy with a research project of 10 volumes titled-”The History of the indigenous people of India.” He has completed the first two volumes titled “ The founders of Indus Valley cultural and their History” and the second book ‘Ancient rulers of India, their origin and history.” Dr Viyogi said he was originally a novelist and a short story writer. Mr Viyogi has written 10 novels and about 120 short stories and articles. He says, “Though one of my short story was made into film titled ‘Waris’, yet I was not happy with the literary work that I was doing. The poverty of my country bothered me endlessly. I wanted to know the root cause of India’s poverty. So I decided to go deep into history of ancient India to find out the causes.” Dr Viyogi is not satisfied with the work done by historians. He says, “Although Archeological Survey of India (ASI) is exploring ancient cities and have explored Indus Valley Civilisation, still we need to explore the minds of the people to know their ancient tradition so that historians can write history in right direction.” He said the native people, the Nagas, were great producer of varied products like pottery, weaving, tools, ornaments. Each individual was an adept artisan. The Aryans who came later were non-productive. He said the distorted history was a product of the Aryans who were the invaders and ‘barbarians in general’. The Nagas, Dr Viyogi said, the natives of country, had highly developed social, religious, economic and political systems. Thus the Nagas were warriors and ideal citizens. Thus they founded Indus Valley Civilisation, one of the oldest civilisation. He said during the Aryan invasion, the native Nagas were pushed towards the North East. Their glorious rule of 2,500 years ended. Dr Viyogi said after Aryans the Indians became non-productive. The people developed an attitude of no respect for work and no dignity of labour. Since then this ideology has been followed which was responsible for the poverty. The invaders that came later just exploited us. Dr Viyogi said the history of 85 per cent natives should be written by the historians as the historians have neglected the history of these people. Dr Viyogi feels that if the existing course of invader’s history is replaced by this new research work, it can prove to be an ideal history for developing young brains of students in schools and colleges to the right path of creating a sense of nationality, humanity, fraternity, liberty, patriotism and rationality. |
