Burlton Park to be
all-sports complex soon
Jalandhar, June 21 In a press conference today, the mayor said talks were on with the Punjab Cricket Association and most of the construction work would be carried out by them. He said the 38-acre park, which mainly had a hockey stadium, had ample space to provide these facilities. Rathour said he along with Rajya Sabha MP Naresh Gujral met the railway officials in Delhi recently and it was decided that construction of Domoria overbridge would be completed by March 2009. Besides, work on the DAV College and Maqsudan bypass overbridge too would be carried out quickly. He said the municipal corporation had decided to employ gardeners for two months to maintain various parks as the present season was good for plant growth. Regarding the problem of water logging, Rathour said residents would have to bear the problem at least in this season as the storm water sewage system and rainwater harvesting system was yet to be installed. |

CPI to launch stir against govt
Tribune News Service
Bhikhiwind, June 21 Stating this to The Tribune, Dr Joginder Dayal, national executive member, CPI, said the government, in order to check rising prices, should initiate steps to stop future trading in the country. He said the government should also make efforts to make 28 essential commodities available to the masses in the country through public distribution system. He said the government should also reduce the excise duty on petrol and diesel so as to decrease the prices of fuel in the country. Lashing out at the union government for its move to go ahead with the nuclear agreement with America, Dayal said Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh was buckling under US pressure. He said that the agreement was not beneficial for the country as only 5 per cent electricity could be generated through nuclear reactors in the country. He said the country had large deposits of Thorium which could be converted into Uranium to generate nuclear energy in the country. Dayal further announced that AB Vardhar, general secretary CPI, would address the party workers in Amritsar on July 29 during a function to be organised to commemorate the death anniversary of late Sohan Singh Josh.

A for Artists - a reunion of art and ideas
Jalandhar, June 21 Titled ‘A for Artists’, the conclusive day of the five-day workshop will be marked by an exhibition at Virsa Vihar here tomorrow evening. Outlining the idea of the workshop, Aditi Sangwan, a Mohali-based artist, said it has been a step towards introducing visual vocabulary to the visitors in an interactive way. “Generally, people visit the exhibitions and move off without fully understanding the concept that the artist has employed in creating the art work. But here we can interact with them. They discuss their interpretation with us and we convey our idea. Sometimes, a new concept for the next better depiction gets generated after such an interaction”, she said. Divya Bansal, who excels in print art, said after the completion of BFA, all of them had moved in different directions learning various concepts doing postgraduate courses from various institutes like Kala Bhavan, Shantiniketan and Indra Kala Sangit University, Khairagarh. “Here we got together again on the same platform realising all what we had learnt all these years, mixing ideas and growing further by discussing experiences with one another”, said the artist, who primarily concentrates on geometrical forms or lines created by observing architectural buildings, poles and pillars. Working in the area of astrological symbolism, Rajesh Kalsi has been making paintings depicting various characters of an astrologer as he manipulates the future and the past of people with his works, deeply influencing the human psyche. A mural work expert, Hardeep Singh has explored the concept of fertility with fruit and vegetable motifs. A huge painting of a cut tomato put up by him seems more like an abstraction, owing to its enlargement, making the visitors enjoy its colours and organic form at the same time. Anshul Dhull has been working on themes revolving around human emotions. Reena Bhatnagar has been portraying the life of a common man. Vishal Bhatnagar has been focusing on innate understanding and spiritual relationship between the universe, human being and the creator. |
