Controversy courts Gymkhana Club
Some say club a shadow of its past; opponents deny it
It's a not-so-imposing building with parts of it almost unsafe for use. What is interesting, though by no means remarkable, is that the Jullundur Gymkhana Club has been courting controversies over the past few years.

Then: The club started at a small house at Model Town here. In the year 1954, it was shifted to the present building. At that time, it was dominated by officers. There was no parking problem.


Now:
There are 3600 members, who fall either in tenure category or permanent category. Officers no longer dominate it. The building now needs renovation badly. Parking problem has assumed a menacing proportion.

Roundabouts' removal stirs a hornet's nest
The move of the local Municipal Corporation to remove two roundabouts — Guru Nanak Mission Chowk and BMC Chowk — and its plan to spend Rs 60 lakh on installation of traffic lights and execution of other renovation works has snowballed into a major controversy.

Major General B.J. Gupta, Chief of Staff, Vajra Corps, and Lt Gen S.S. Sangha (retd) laid wreaths at the memorial and paid a tribute to the martyred infantrymen of the state. Speaking on the occasion, Maj Gen Gupta said that Indian infantrymen have earned the respect and admiration of their counterparts the world over.
