Six-month term for ad hoc principals Chandigarh, April 4 Further, directing colleges to begin the process of selection of a principal three months in advance of the retirement of the current head, the university has asked them to have “principals-in-waiting” instead of taking recourse to the provision of appointing ad hoc heads. These directions have come after it was brought to the notice of university authorities that most colleges were being run by the seniormost faculty members for indefinite periods, sometimes till their retirement, and the resolution of allowing the seniormost lecturer to officiate as principal as stop-gap arrangement was being misused. The resolution, moved by Senator Charanjit Chawla, was adopted by the university in 1997-98. It was also brought to the notice of the university authorities that unable to meet the qualification of appointing a candidate with a Ph D as principal, laid down by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 1998, the college managements had chosen the easy way out and carried on day-to-day affairs by giving financial powers to these heads. However, all these colleges had conveniently chosen to ignore the provision, unanimously approved by the Senate in March, 1999, that any candidate with 25 years experience would not be required to have a Ph D to be eligible for appointment as principal. Also, the Senate had termed the new guidelines of the UGC, making a Ph D mandatory, as “unrealistic”. With these facts at its disposal, Panjab University had constituted a committee, comprising principals and senior faculty members of the university, at the PU Senate meeting held in December last year. Their report was tabled in the recent meeting of the Senate and found favour with the House which approved the recommendations. Along with laying down guidelines for colleges, the report also mentions a set procedure for dealing with colleges which fail to adhere to the university directions. While denial of affiliation to erring colleges for any new additional subjects has been suggested to begin with, disaffiliation has been suggested as the last resort after de-recognising the principal’s signature and rejection of examination forms from the college fail to yield the desired result. At present, of the 250 colleges in the region, there are 80 colleges with ad hoc heads in all three universities, Panjab University, Punjabi University and Guru Nanak Dev University, taken together. |

Burden off
students’ shoulders Chandigarh, April 4 Concerned over the general trend of new editions of books being added every year, the UT Education Department has decided to do away with books and notebooks which are not all that necessary for a student. To review the books, the department has set up committees of teachers. The advice of the State Institute of Education and the Regional Institute of Education here was also sought on evaluation of the
course content. For example, the practice of using worksheets in the drawing subject has been done away with. Now, a student will have use simple drawing sheets, said Mr D.S.Mangat, DPI (Schools), Chandigarh. Drawing sheets have been introduced from Class 1 to Class V. For the optional subject of drawing — from Class VI to Class VIII — “Chittar Kala”, a book published by the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB), has been prescribed. Two books of private publishers in English for Class VII have been replaced with books of the NCERT. A similar change has been made in English books for Class VIII. In case of social studies for Class VIII, a book of the NCERT (India and the World) has been introduced. Besides, the practice of students buying atlases and dictionaries at the start of a new academic session has been discontinued. Mr Mangat said, “Students cannot be forced to buy new editions of atlases and dictionaries. It will be optional for our students”. The Education Department will reduce the number of books each year, the DPI said. Instead of students being told to revise their lessons through practice books at home, teachers have been asked to conduct practice sessions in classrooms.

Veteran actress leading life in poverty Chandigarh, April 4 Deserted by her so called near and dear ones, as soon as her financial status began to decline, the woman who caused many a heart to flutter is now fluttering in her one room tenement for survival. A pale shadow of her ethereal charm, yesterday’s “Rani Kokila” is now an ageing renal patient, awaiting financial help so that she can get her dialyses done, and later get a kidney transplant. Her doctors at the PGI have already told her that she needs to be on dialysis every alternate day. “ But I cannot afford it. Even the medicines for a week cost Rs 300, and I am in no position to spend more than this on my treatment. Whenever former colleagues and artistes collect some money, they take me for a dialysis, but I cannot afford to get it done on a regular basis,” she says. The actress whose vivid potrayals of Punjabi village belle or the urbane girl in numerous movies, or as the heroines of the folklores she interpreted on stage, has been imprinted in the minds of Punjabi cine goers and theatre lovers. Known not only for the extravagant sets that she erected for her ballets and plays, but also for her off- screen(stage) extravagant lifestyle, the actress has now been forced to vacate her house in Sector 35, and move into a one room apartment, which she shares with another family of three. In her heydays, Sangeeta Mehta had done various movies with veteran actors like Yograj, Guddu Gill, Raj Babbar and Sukhjinder Shera like ‘Guru Manya Granth’, ‘Putt Jatta Da’, ‘Roop Shaukina Da’... the list is exhaustive. But the woman had begun her career as a theatre artiste. It was in 1964, that Sangeeta- a Sindhi girl, had come to Chandigarh with her family. At that time, she was learning sitar from her guru, Sh Atam Praksahji. The melodious music emanating from the strings of her sitar, attracted theatre artiste and neighbour, Mrs Laj Bedi to their house, who finally persuaded her to join theatre. “Mrs Bedi offered that I join the Amateur Art Centre, and after some persuasion, I joined the theatre group. I did several plays, and in between also ventured into films. They brought me further success, and life could not have treated me better. However, theatre remained my true calling, and I devoted my energies here,” she recalls. It was not without reason that the tickets for her plays, which Sangeeta directed herself — “Sanjog” and “Kis ka Haath” were sold in black. The VVIPs of the region- including the Governors, Chief Ministers and ministers of Punjab and Haryana, would line up to watch her plays. One of the most famous plays directed by Sangeeta — “Rani Kokila’ was widely appreciated and is considered a benchmark in Punjabi theatre. But the dream world that Rani and her husband had built, began showing signs of decay. As she began ageing, and theatre became a less attractive medium for masses, she shifted to doing character roles in movies and serials. She even took variety shows (consisting of folk songs, ballets and plays directed by self) abroad that were widely appreciated by the Indian diaspora in the US and Canada. It was then that they ventured into film production and suffered heavy losses. A family dispute also led to a fall in their dwindling financial resources. Her husband A.D. Mehta died two years ago after suffering for 15 years from Parkinson’s
disease. His long illness exhausted the remaining resources. Her only son, Bharat Mehta, too, moved on to Canada. “Since Bharat is not settled as yet, he cannot afford to have me with him for treatment. He occasionally sends me money, and that is how I manage my day- to- day expenses,” she says.

Danny stages comeback Chandigarh, April 4 Now that much of the dead routine is over and done with, Danny is back in action, with all the energy and resolve needed to get on with something as challenging as cinema. During his brief halt in Chandigarh today, the famous boy from Sikkim who made it big in Bollywood, reflected on various aspects, starting with the “self-imposed” hiatus from cinema. “Sometimes it becomes important to slow down in order to speed up. Of late, I had been thinking a lot about life in general and about how its quality could be sustained. In 2003 I signed no film nor did I accept offers on television. I took a year off to be with family. We went around the whole world, measuring its vastness, absorbing its beauty. I have two children who want some of my attention. That was why I was not being seen. Now that both the mind and body have been rejuvenated, it is time to get back.” The comeback film for Danny will be Anil Sharma’s “Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon”, in which he plays a Pakistani Colonel. Referring to the current political scenario and the thaw in Indo-Pak relations, Danny said, “Many political parties have been after me to join their ranks. But politics is not my cup of tea. Political
maneuvering looks good on screen, but in reality it can get quite murky. So I refused those offers. Now I am concentrating on my role in Anil’s film for which I am going to manali. I play a positive character who gets transformed by the end of the film.” About the plethora of films on Indo-Pak relations being made, Danny said it was natural for film makers to buy from life. “The reality of our times is the driving force for cinema. Nowadays India and Pakistan are busy reviving their ties. So it is natural for this trend to show in films. I feel there is nothing wrong in experimenting with this theme, although some people feel such scripts are moth-eaten.” After many years, Danny will be seen with Amitabh Bachchan, his long time friend, who also features in “Ab Tumhare Hawale...”. Happy about the development, Danny said, “We have worked in many hit films together, from “Khuda Gawaah” and “Hum” to “Agni Path” and now “Ab Tumhare Hawale...”. It is refreshing to be on the same sets as Amitabh. He is a great actor and a greater colleague. I also want to work with Akshay Kumar and Bobby, both of whom are very well known to me. I am very close to Dimple Kapadia’s family.” But before the Anil Sharma film is released, Danny will be seen in a suspense thriller, “Shikaar” directed by Punjab’s very own, Darshan Bagga.

Pole damages ‘Gulf War’ car Chandigarh, April 4 The pole fell when a road roller carpeting a cycle track on the Sector 33 and 34 dividing road hit a wire. As a result, the pole holding the wire was pulled down to be broken in two pieces in Sector 34. The 1989 model car bearing registration number CH03 C 5114 was parked in front of house number 1282 in Sector 34 when the pole fell on it, its owner G. S. Kohli told The Tribune. None was injured. Surprisingly, even the driver of the road roller escaped unhurt. One resident said he came out of his house after hearing a loud thud followed by failure of electricity. Mr Kohli, however, said his car was very special as it had survived the Gulf War I. Mr Kohli said he travelled by the car from Kuwait to India in 1991. Mr Kohli said after Kuwait was attacked by Iraq, the air link between India and the Gulf countries had snapped. He said during that period he along with three other Indians decided to reach their motherland by the same car. In such a situation, the United Nations talked to the neighbouring countries to let the escapees pass through their territories via road. Mr Kohli said he had picked an electrician and a mechanic along with him while escaping from that country. Kohli was then serving in the Public Health Department of the Kuwait Government. He said the performance of his car was excellent as it did not develop any snag during the 26-day of escape journey. He said he had to pass through Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan while reaching India. Mr Kohli said rest of the persons aboard the car were dropped in Chandigarh and then they proceeded to Delhi. Mr Kohli said he could have reached India in around 12 days had the Pakistan Government allowed him permission at that time. Mr Kohli said he had to stay in Pakistan for at least seven days to get the necessary permission to reach India. Mr Kohli and three others left Kuwait to stay in Iran for a week. Kohli’s in-laws then lived in Iran. Today’s accident occurred a day before Mr Kohli was to leave for Dubai on a business trip. Kohli has been in the Gulf for the past 26 years.

Inmate sustains head injuries in lock-up Mohali, April 4 Jagjit Singh, a resident of Taqipur village, near Mullanpur, was arrested by the anti-goonda squad of the Mohali police on April 1 on the charge of trespassing. The next day he was also booked under the Arms Act and a country-made revolver, along with two cartridges, was recovered from him. Jagjit Singh was remanded in police custody till April 6. However, he was rushed to the Civil Hospital here this afternoon with a bleeding head. Policemen from the Phase I police station accompanied him to the hospital where the doctor on emergency duty stitched his wounds. A friend of the accused, Mr Gurbachan Singh, who is also the vice-chairman of the Kharar Block Committee, alleged that Jagjit Singh had been booked in a false case by the police at the behest of the SHO, Phase VIII, Mr Gurcharan Singh. ‘‘Gurcharan Singh and Jagjit Singh’s brother Baljit have a long-standing dispute regarding some shops and property in Mullanpur due to which he wants to trouble Jagjit,’’he told The Tribune. However, the SHO, Phase I, Mr Bhupinder Singh, denied that the police had picked up Jagjit at the behest of the Phase VIII SHO. ‘‘Jagjit Singh was picked up by Inspector Gurmukh Singh of the anti-goonda staff,’’ he said, adding that Jagjit Singh had also been booked under Section 309 of the IPC for trying to kill himself. Sources in the police said Jagjit Singh, along with a gang, was involved in various land-grabbing incidents in the Mullanpur area and with his arrest the police would be able to nab other members. However, Jagjit Singh’s brother-in-law Sajan Singh of Nadah village said Jagjit was a farmer and lived a low-key life with his family. ‘‘He has never been involved in such activities,’’
he said. The police said the anti-goonda squad had caught Jagjit Singh following a complaint by a Kansal village resident who had alleged that Jagjit Singh along with some other persons, threatened him at his residence. |

Dissent rife in political parties Chandigarh, April 4 Things were going on smooth for the Congress until Mr Pawan Kumar Bansal, the Congress candidate for the poll, “dropped the bombshell” of Mr Devinder Babla joining the Congress in March. This led to a revolt by Mr B.B. Bahl, president of the local unit. He said: “Mr Babla is welcome to support the party but he cannot be a member of the Congress until his membership is cleared by the local unit and the All-India Mr Babla was earlier shown the door by the Congress when he had shown disrespect to Mr Moti Lal Vora, a senior party leader, during his visit to the city. He had also allegedly used derogatory language against Ms Sonia Gandhi, the party President. The Congress camp had also witnessed differences when the name of the local candidate was being sent to the party high command. Certain party workers had objected to Mr Bansal’s candidature over senior leaders, including Mr Vinod Sharma, a former MP, and Mr Munish Tewari, a former president of the Indian Youth Congress. It is felt that Congress camp is witnessing a big obstacle in its ongoing campaign activity. “A lot many fences need to be mended before the future course of action,” a senior leader said. Mr Sunil Parti, a member of the executive, said the act of Mr Babla was unpardonable, so it could only be considered at the AICC level. The BJP camp is also a divided lot. The name of Mr Satya Pal Jain has faced opposition from internal quarters to an extent that certain leaders camped in Delhi to meet with the party high command. The latest in the series was a press conference by Mr Sunderpal Chauhan, an RSS worker who has announced his candidature independently from the local seat. He is protesting the “anti-party” activities of Mr Jain. Divisions in party lines can also be gauged from the fact that a section of senior leaders of the party did not turn up when Mr L.K. Advani, Deputy Prime Minister, addressed a rally recently. The missing faces included Mr Gian Chand Gupta, a former Mayor, and Ms Ranjana Sahi. Differences in political parties have also come to light at grassroots level. This phenomenon is common to the parties with newspaper offices receiving a flood of handouts about some leaving the parent organisation and joining the rivals. The BSP has shown the party door to Mr Rajender
Makwana, president of the Municipal Corporation unit of the party, for anti-party activities. Mr Makwana had called a press conference recently and had announced his displeasure at the name of Mr Hem Raj Kashyap being floated as party candidate for the local seat, saying he was an unfamiliar face in the city. The SAD camp is also a divided lot. The camp led by Mr Gurpratap Singh Riar maintains that it was not allied to the BJP because there was no communication to this regard either from Mr Parkash Singh Badal or the Parliamentary Affairs Committee of the party. The SAD group led by Mr N.S. Minhas maintains that the party is aligned to the BJP. The only main contender away from the internal divisions is Mr Harmohan Dhawan, the candidate of the Indian National Lok Dal. He is building his camp from scratch because last time he had supported the Congress. It is an entirely new team this time. The only major development is that Mr
Babla, considered to be one of his strong men, has joined the Congress.

Only 58 pc city voters have I-cards Chandigarh, April 3 The cards are necessary for the residents to exercise their franchise. No resident without identity card can cast his or her vote as per the instructions recently issued by the authorities concerned in this regard. The names of the residents can also be deleted from the voters’ list in the absence of voter’s identity cards. Sources in the Administration reveal that a letter was issued to the Administration by the Election Commission last year in this regard. The authorities were asked to issue a 15-day notice to the residents without cards. They were also asked to initiate the process of deleting the names of defaulters. Giving details of the procedure, sources reveal that the authorities were asked to first write to the eligible voters without identity cards. The authorities were asked to warn the defaulters that action would be initiated against them under the provisions of the People’s Representation Act. In any case, registered voters can still get their identity cards issued as the Election Department of the Administration has extended the deadline from today. The previous deadline expired on March 31. For them, a permanent centre has been set up in Sector 17 Central State Library. It would function from 9 am to 5.30 pm on all seven days, including Sundays and gazetted holidays till further orders.

They said that the defaulters included students, businessman and even service class. |
