Violation of building bylaws
Chandigarh, October 16 Assistant estate officer Ashwani Kumar said the defaulters had been served notices under Section VIII of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act and their appeal or hearing was under way. After getting the go-ahead from the finance department, estate officials visited the school premises to verify the violations. The notice, depicting various violations, asks institutions to explain “why the lease of the said site together with building thereon not be cancelled and ground rent calculated to the date of cancellation order be not forfeited.” At DAV Public School-15, it has been found that the school management has constructed an extra basement in front of the hostel block. The estate office has also objected to a basement constructed under the open stage at the rear side of the building and glazing in the front elevation without a sanction. The other blatant violations are a temporary shed constructed along the boundary wall and the height of the wall. Officials said the “yagyashala” along the boundary wall was also not part of the sanctioned drawings. The estate office has scheduled October 24 as the date of hearing of the case in the court of the assistant estate officer. A notice has been issued to Sandhya Educational Trust, Sector 37, for not getting plans and elevations of the building approved. The officials reported that as the level of the ground floor (plinth level) was raised from 4’ to 7’, the basement was found to be more than 50 per cent above the ground level. Experts said in these circumstances, the basement would become lower than the ground floor, which increases the FAR
Also, the slope of the ramp was found to be in the ratio of 1:5 against the sanctioned ratio of 1:12. The officials said some schools had constructed auditoriums and offices in the basement, which were not only against the building bylaws and national building code, but also the “habitable use” of the basement was a major fire and stampede hazard for students. Those who have replied to submit a revised sanctioned plan include Chitkara Educational Trust-25 (W), Mount Carmel School-47, St Kabir-26, Bhavan Vidyalaya-27 and Shivalik School-41. Chitkara trust had constructed temporary sheds in the playground and a check post at the front gate without permission. Mount Carmel School has invited the ire of the estate office by constructing two temporary toilets and temporary sheds. The other schools include Shishu Niketan-22, Kendriya Vidyalaya-29, St Anne’s 32, Sanjay Public School-44, Ashiana Public School, Saupins Education Foundation-32, Dev Samaj College-36, Guru Nanak Public School-37.

PU boarders on a high
Chandigarh, October 16 Drinking in hostels is on an increase and if insiders are to be taken for their word, it has already assumed “nonsensical” proportions. Brawls and inebriated boarders shouting and abusing at the top of their voices have become a routine affair, much to the embarrassment and inconvenience of those wanting to study. A visit to a hostel this morning bared the truth. The cycle of a junk dealer was stacked with empty liquor bottles, indicating last night’s happenings. “Everyday I pick up 10 to 12 bottles from each hostel,” he claimed. And the aftermath of one such party was felt last night when students got involved in a brawl at about 10 pm. Though no case has been registered, the university authorities are aware of the incident but have not taken action against erring students yet. Though the consumption of liquor is banned in hostels, students cock a snook at it. “I have been staying in the hostel for the past two years and no such ban has been imposed on us. We drink in our rooms and not in the canteen or the mess,” he says defiantly, adding that this “tradition” has been going on for years. However, for those who have joined the university for serious studies, it is a sheer nuisance. “I can’t say anything to these people as they are politically connected and we fear them” an agitated student said, urging this correspondent to highlight their problem. “Even wardens are helpless,” he added. The helplessness of a warden was evident from the fact that he and his family was “sick and tired” of this daily affair. “I am so troubled by these ‘sharabis’ and have told my family not to venture out alone at night,” a warden, who lives near a hostel, said. The dean, students welfare, Nawal Kishore, said he was aware of last night’s episode. “We take steps to curb this menace and have issued strict instructions that all such instances of students drinking in their room be brought to our notice,” he said.

Cops drag their feet in gangrape case
Panchkula, October 16 Frustrated at police “inefficiency”, the fear of a backlash from the “well-connected” accused and the stigma has forced the family of the victim to consider shifting the girl from here. “We cannot take chances with her safety and will shift her until the accused are arrested,” the her mother said. The incident raises questions about the role of the police and the stoic silence being maintained by the police, which is otherwise quite happy with publicity. None of the senior officials in the district are willing to comment on the incident. Even the SP, Sandeep Khirwar, has been saying that the “investigations are on” for the past 30 days. The victim, who was allegedly gangraped, had named two persons (Jatin and Chhavi) as accused. She also said another youth, including a girl, were involved in the crime, but she did not know their names. Even as the police has claimed to have arrested two youths, including the son of an assistant district transport officer, in the case, it is not sharing information with the media. It would be anybody’s guess why the police is not arresting the main accused. “The accused kept blackmailing me and threatened to kill my brother,” the victim, said, adding that “there is a risk to my life”. The school authorities said they had asked her to review her decision to shift out.

Global meltdown overshadows auction
Chandigarh, October 16 In a development that will not be pleasant to the UT top brass, only five CHB booths/bay shops, out of 31 commercial sites put under the hammer, were sold today. The five built-up booths -- three at Mani Majra and two in Sector 51 -- were sold for a total amount of Rs 1.55 crore, against the reserve price of Rs 1.43 crore. The “flop show” seems to have sent UT officials in a tizzy with questions being raised over the fate of the October 23 residential and commercial auction of the estate office. Judging the market sentiment, the MC has already “withdrawn” its October 21 auction of commercial sites. The estate office has decided to auction 47 residential and 45 commercial sites on October 23. Though during the auction in December 2007, a 1 kanal plot in Sector 11 was sold for Rs 4.02 crore, against the reserve price of Rs 1.48 crore, this feat may not be repeated this time. “This is a bad time for auction. The enforcement of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, under which full payment has to be deposited within 90 days, coupled with the global financial crisis, could prove to be a spoilsport,” S.K. Sharma, a real estate expert, said. Official sources, however, claimed that the “failure” of the CHB auction was a cause of worry as the booths and bay shops usually had no takers. Even four months ago, there were no takers for the CHB commercial property, an official said. All residential and commercial sites were on prime location and given the infrastructure, Chandigarh was the first destination for residential and commercial bidders, the official claimed. The poor response to today’s auction could affect big real estate players since a majority of them have a stake in Chandigarh’s periphery. They are hoping the October 23 auction would be successful, sources said.

PCA bans official’s entry
Mohali, October 16 M. P. Pandove, honorary secretary of PCA, said: “We have barred entry of Rajal Sahni, who was assigned to act as liaison officer by R. S. Sachdeva, the chairman of our reception committee. His accreditation badge has also been withdrawn with immediate effect.” “Sahni is not directly related to the PCA. He was assigned by the chairman of the reception committee only for the match,” added Pandove. The incident was highlighted in these columns. Yesterday, the official was intercepted by private security, when he tried to take away a cap from Australian dressing room. Later, it was found that the cap belonged to Australian batsman Mathew Hayden. After that, he was again seen roaming in the Indian dressing room. Besides that, he also travelled in the bus carrying the Indian team from Taj hotel to PCA stadium, thus breaching the security norms.

Five-star treat awaits rural students
Mohali, October 16 To give their ‘special’ guests a ‘special’ treat, the association has tied up with the Hotel Taj to provide refreshments and lunch to the young cricket fans. The packed treat, to be served in the stands, will include kulcha-chana, patties, a sweet dish, one mineral-water bottle and a cold drink. The PCA will foot the bill for the free treat to the children for all the five days. “I am sure that majority of them will be coming first time to witness an international cricket match. So we trying to add a little more to make their experience a memorable one,” said G. S. Walia, joint secretary of PCA. The association has already sent 5,000 tickets to the state government, which will be delivered to the schools, especially located in the rural areas. “Each ticket carries a lunch coupon so that the students do not face any inconvenience,” said the office-bearer. The step to facilitate the students of backward areas was initiated by Sukhbir Badal, president of SAD and chairman of PCA organising committee. Special buses are being put in service free of cost for these special guests by the state government.

ISBT, a boozers’ paradise
Chandigarh, October 16 Throwing all norms to winds, motorists and others enjoy their drinks in the cars parked inside the bus stand, whereas employees of a dhaba provide them with eatables. This is despite the fact that the entry of vehicles inside the ISBT complex is banned. Late in the evening, lots of vehicles could be seen making a beeline for the dhaba, thus leading to a traffic bottleneck. Visitors to the bus stand, mostly youngsters, park their vehicles haphazardly and could be seen enjoying their drinks inside the cars. Despite a police post, the cops seem to less interested in solving this menace. The youngsters could be seen creating nuisance at the public place. Late in the evening, this place even becomes unsafe for the passengers, particularly the women. A random survey conducted by this correspondent revealed that after 10 pm youngsters come here to dine at a round-the-clock dhaba. They enter the ISBT premises from the exit gate. Most of these motorcyclists are without helmet. Park their vehicles in the middle of the road. Repeated complaints by bus drivers to the authorities concerned have failed to yield any results. A Delhi Transport Corporation bus driver said, “The cops are not performing their duty well and seem to be working in connivance with a dhaba owner. However, P.S.Shergill, director, Chandigarh Transport Undertaking, could not be contacted for his comments.

Decorated World War II veteran dies
Ropar, October 16 He is survived by two daughters. Bachan Singh got enrolled as gunner with the 2nd Royal Indian Artillery in 1941 and served with Second Field Artillery in Libya during the World War II. He got injured in North Africa by a German shell and was treated in a Military Hospital in Cairo. After this, he was medically boarded out in 1947. He was granted disability pension which was abruptly discontinued by the Controller of Defence Accounts in 1949, stating that his disability had gone below 20 per cent. This happened despite the fact that a constituted medical board by the Army had confirmed a disability of 30 per cent. His pleas for a resurvey medical board fell on deaf ears. However, with the help of then vice-chief of the Army staff, Lt-Gen S Pattabhiraman, his case was taken up with the government for re-consideration. A medical examination of this 95-year-old soldier was carried out in 2005 at Command Hospital, Western Command, and the board opined that the disability was such which could not have improved in any manner and that it had remained constant all these years since 1949. This resulted in his disability pension being sanctioned with arrears from 1949, a historical landmark. The battle did not end there. The bank which was to release his arrears made him and his relatives visit branch numerous times but kept delaying his payment on flimsy grounds. It took some tough talk by representatives of the Army, who visited bank branch earlier this year to get his arrears disbursed. Wreaths were laid on behalf of the Punjab government and the Directorate of the Sainik Welfare by Colonel Tajinder Singh. Wreaths were also laid on behalf of Western Command by an Army representative. Condolences were offered by president, Indian Ex-Services League (Punjab and Chandigarh), Colonel C S Dhillon, and high court lawyer Maj Navdeep Singh on behalf of ex-Army Vice-Chief Lt-Gen S Pattabhiraman. The cremation was attended by a large number of ex-servicemen. Cremated with state honours

Tree falls on car in Sec 19
Chandigarh, October 16 Modi said he had made numerous requests to the horticulture department of the municipal corporation to remove the tree, as it had been weakened due to termite infestation and could cause loss of life or property, but in vain. He had even approached officials of the horticulture department yesterday informing them about tilting of the tree to one side after storm and rain the day before. His request was not heeded by the officials, which resulted in damage to his car, he added. An expert said the risk of falling of trees was high due to carelessness on part of the engineering department of the administration and the municipal corporation. In most cases where the departments had widened roads, they had unknowingly cut roots of trees at some places, ignoring the fact that it would dry the tree making the base weak. Consequently, the affected trees would easily fall in storm or heavy rain.

Eatables: PU wakes up to hygiene
Chandigarh, October 16 The realisation dawned upon the authorities after a student who bought lunch from one of the eateries at sudents’ centre today and found two little stones in his food today in the lunch hour. Later the student, a former student leader, along with his friends searched the eatery and also found a cockroach in the ‘cumin seeds’ jar. Also some students at the spot claimed that this has happened earlier as well on many occasions. On the other hand, the sources claimed that there was an old rivalry between the two, which resulted in today’s incident. Nevertheless, the incident did a lot good for everyone as after the incident, the dean students’ welfare, Prof Naval Kishore, imposed a fine of Rs 500 on the eatery. Later, it was notified that till October 18, all the eateries at the students’ centre would have to use only branded spices.

Teachers for fair assessment
Chandigarh, October 16 Though many are resenting the move but most of them are willing for such a scrutiny, provided, it’s done by serious students who are focused on their studies and not by leaders on the campus or those students who themselves have not been attending classes regularly. According to Prof R.C. Sobti, vice-chancellor, “I am open to be assessed but I certainly cannot say about others”, he said. As it is, under the Pay Commission’s recommendations, such a scrutiny finds a mention. Prof V.K. Mahajan, department of Evening Studies, said, “It’s a good initiative but it should be taken care that the student who is assessing has been attending classes regularly. There has to be an accountability on both sides”. In fact, the department of laws first floated the idea of “students-assessing-teachers”, when they distributed assessment performas among the students to rate their teachers in terms of their teaching methodology, class behaviour etc. “We should be accountable to our students. But only to those who are responsible towards their own studies and are accountable for themselves, only then such an exercise makes sense and is authentic”, said Shashi Sharma, former chairman, department of laws. Aswini Koul, reader, dept of Biophysics, says, “The assessment should be mature enough and should not be on personal biases. If the students would assess on the basis of what marks that particular teacher had given him, then it would not be a fair assessment. Also, longitudinal divisions in the departments can be used as weapon against teachers, so that should also be taken care of, only then it will solve its purpose”. However, a section of the teaching is unhappy with the whole “assessment idea” and rubbished it as just any other wasteful exercise. The students who come don’t come to attend their own classes throughout the year, can their judgement be trusted, questions of the agitated faculty member.

Quark sacks 100 more workers
Mohali, October 16 The spokesman of the company, Gurmohan Singh, said the retrenchment was a result of the company’s decision to slow down the construction activity. Most of the retrenched workers were daily wagers hired by the company through a contractor about three years ago for the construction of the Quark City. The spokesman did not comment about the company’s plan to retrench more workers. Sources said recession in the real estate sector was one of the reasons behind the retrenchment. Meanwhile citing security reasons, the company has written to the DGP, Punjab police, and the SSP, Mohali, that there were strong chances of trouble being created by the retrenched labour. The company has called the retrenched labourers tomorrow to get their dues. The district police have deputed extra police force to ensure that no law and order trouble was created.

MC blames GMADA for non-functional streetlights
Mohali, October 16 Streetlights are not functioning on certain main roads in various parts of Mohali though the condition in internal pockets is stated to be better. Residents said that non-functional streetlights not only led to accidents, but also gave opportunities to thieves to target houses located in dark pockets. Complaints have also been received that traffic lights at certain points were also not functioning properly. Darkness was witnessed on the main road leading from Mohali village towards the industrial area, Phase VII, road outside Fujitsu in the industrial area Phase VIII, Kumbra chowk to Phase IX bridge, Phase XI police station to the community centre in the same area, some areas around the stadium in Phase IX, a pocket in Phase X and road dividing Phase VII and III B 2. Some of these pockets have remained in the dark for months. Lights were not functioning in certain parks of the town as well. S.S. Barnala, municipal councillor living in Phase XI, said a girl in his locality had met with an accident because traffic lights were not functioning properly. Streetlight problems were brought to the notice of the civic body officials but to no avail, he added. President of the Citizens Welfare Federation B.S. Tej said that streetlights on a road along the nullah in Phase IX functioned only when cricket matches were played. There was lot of wild growth in the area and darkness gave anti-social elements a good cover. He said some criminals were caught by residents from this pocket but authorities concerned were not worried about the safety aspect of the residents. He said three streetlights points in Sector 70 were not functioning for the past one year while streetlights on one of the B-roads were very dim. A civic body official said streetlights were not functioning on the road from Mohali village towards the industrial area because a cable was damaged by GMADA while widening the road. At another point streetlights were disconnected as a safety measure because GMADA was widening the road. In Phase XI a cable had got damaged which would be replaced soon. He said his staff could not carry out the work of maintaining streetlights on a regular basis because of long power cuts imposed by the PSEB.

Letters Elderly people are the most valuable people in our society. Yet, not much is being done to take care of them all. The government has the responsibility to protect the elderly, especially the poor. After all they have worked all their lives to provide security for themselves. Though, many facilities are provided to senior citizens who have the means and the community connections to survive, there is a need to provide similar opportunities to elderly people living in the lower economic spectrum. Considering that the city has many elderly people who're struggling to be in charge of one's life because of frailty, danger and isolation of old age, there is a need to start more care homes and day-care facilities in the city. Further, our elders should be linked with social service agencies/ NGOs that provide health, wellness services and cultural programmess that help to combat social isolation. Such agencies can also provide volunteer-based friendly visiting programs that help ease isolation for elders who live alone. Government would do well to finance these agencies that provide critical services to those elderly who cannot afford self-help communities. Failing to do so would be an injustice to them and perhaps, one day, to us. Rajesh

MCM row far from over
Chandigarh, October 16 However, their ‘punishment’ is confined to a written apology. They have been asked to do community service, which the Shirvastava has underlined as “non-punitive”, for 10 hours at a place, which the administration has not disclosed on the plea of maintaining the “privacy” of the students. Though the report refrains from making any direct comment on the role of the MCM principal, Puneet Bedi, whose arbitrary decision to nominate one of her alleged “favourites” as the students’ council president sparked off an unprecedented and an ugly row in the college, it severely castigates the college functioning. Remarks like “The college authorities themselves should ideally have settled this matter. Owing to their failure to satisfy the complainant, she filed a police complaint, “The college cannot disown responsibility for incidents involving its students that occur in the vicinity of the college and autonomy comes with heavy responsibilities. These responsibilities cannot be shrugged off or wished away simply because they are onerous or inconvenient” are being viewed as a severe indictment of those at the helm of the college affairs. Significantly, the report categorically states that security and student’s dignity is principal’s responsibility even in the “college vicinity”. This remark assumes significance and is being viewed as a direct admonishment to the attempts of the college authorities to wash their hands off on illogical please that the incidents had occurred outside the college gate. Incidentally, Bedi had taken a similar plea in an earlier incident when some outsiders had thrown eggs and mobil oil on some girls outside the college gate. While this report has blown the lid off the ‘faulty’ way of redressal of various issues, Bedi refused to accept any incompetence on her part, “On the very next day of the incident we constituted a committee to probe the matter. The administration had to intervene because girl approached them”. The complainant was adamant on the rustication of the accused and this hindered the probe, she said. “I duly respect the committee’s directives but our college already has a proper mechanism of everything. I will meet the director and discuss it,” she said.

Flying academies feel the heat
Chandigarh, October 16 The airhostess training institutes, which are around 30 in Chandigarh, fear that there could be mass exodus of the students in the wake of retrenchment going on in the aviation industry. They have started encouraging students to prepare themselves for hotel industry till the time the aviation industry strikes a balance. “The students in general are upset over the cutback the aviation is going through. But we are telling them that our academy is a complete training institute, which covers hospitality as well. Hospitality is going to boom in another couple of years, as India would be hosting Commonwealth Games, which would give boost to tourism and hotel industry,” said one of the teachers of an institute in Sector-34. Moreover, the institutes are also not ready to take any responsibility of the placements of their students once they complete the course. The students said they were assured job guarantee before the admissions but once the fee was paid they were told they would only get job assistance. This point is even clearly mentioned in the prospectus of some of the academies that there is no job guarantee. “After getting experience in hotel management they can easily shift to aviation as things are expected to be normalised by that time,” she said. On the other hand, the students generally hailing from remote areas of Punjab, apprehend that the disturbance will continue for a long time and their future is not secure. “We are actually scared as we have already paid the entire amount which would not be refundable in any case,” said one of the students of the institute. “I think that I have made a mistake by opting for this career. But nothing can be done as half of the session is already over,” said another student.
