Syndicate Elections
Ludhiana, December 2 According to sources, the 91-member senate has the power to elect 15 syndicate members, who manage the day-to-day activities of the university. As per chapter 2-A of the constitution of Panjab University, “Fellows shall be assigned to faculties for whole of the term by order of the senate with reference to their special qualities”. This clause was formed in an effort to take the best lot (in their own stream) in the syndicate . But in the recent years, no such rule was being followed by the university authorities. Fellows were being elected as per their preferences. For instance, a specialised person in law could suggest/give his name from any other stream of own choice (arts, science, non-medical, etc). The rule that a particular fellow would represent his specialised field has been flouted all these years. A former member of the senate, on the condition of anonymity, told The Tribune that he was again the voting stunt. A fellow having maximum votes could easily become member of the syndicate even if he/she represented their own field. “A member is specialised in his field, but he can give his name from arts, science or any other stream. Having support from most senate members, he will get the benefit and not the specialised faculty member,” he said, adding that things were being manipulated and rules were being ignored. Even in the present list from the medical science stream, only five persons belonged to the field, the rest 17 were from other streams. Tarsem Bahia, convener of the Punjab Education Forum, said groupism and politics prevailed in these elections. “When the senate has been given all the powers, why is it not using them? It becomes the duty of the authorities to check if the rules are being properly followed,” he said.

Safety of CCTVs worries cops
Ludhiana, December 2Even as the police has gone ahead with the installation of Sources in the police department said the project on similar lines was started around five years ago and CCTVs were installed at some crucial locations, but yielded no result as most cameras were either stolen or still awaiting repairs. The big question which is posing a challenge is the security of the cameras. Reportedly, 55 CCTVs are going to be installed at some vital locations, including Durga Mata Mandir, Satluj Bridge, Bharat Nagar Chowk, Samrala Chowk, Chaura Bazaar and Sarabha Nagar Market, besides malls and cinema halls. The police, especially low-rung officers who are already grappling with the steep increase in petty crime and frequent VIP visits, have to shoulder another responsibility of providing security to these cameras. Cases have been reported in the past when these cameras have been stolen. With the newly installed cameras costing between Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000, ensuring their security will not be easy for the police, which is already struggling with staff shortage. A PCR officer requesting anonymity said: “We are caught in a catch-22 situation. We can either secure the cameras or catch offenders who try to escape after committing a crime. The department provides us only 3 litres of petrol daily to run the motorcycle. In such a situation, it would be difficult for us to deliver results.” However, some cops have welcomed the move. One such cop said: “It is a great move by the department. Now the criminals and snatchers will think twice before committing a crime. The CCTVs will generate fear of being watched. This will also improve coordination between the police deputed in various parts of the city.” He said the cameras had been stolen in the past, but it had many benefits and if these functioned properly, the crime rate could be brought down. The SP, traffic, Rupinder Singh, said: “We will take care of the security point of view and make sure that wherever the CCTVs are installed, these are safe. We will install it at a safe height and depute a cop for security.” |

Railway police force to be modernised
Ludhiana, December 2 Under the plan, sophisticated security and surveillance equipment would be installed at railway stations, the railway protection force (RPF) would be modernised and its personnel trained and equipped with the latest weapons to deal with any eventuality arising from terrorist attacks. Stating this, highly-placed sources in the RPF in the Ferozepur railway division said the plan was awaiting financial approval from the government, after which each railway
division would be allocated the required funds. “The plan entails installation of metal detector entry gates at the railway station wherever these have not been set up so far, putting up close-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) at strategic points inside the railway complexes, imparting commando training to personnel of the RPF and providing sophisticated arms and ammunition to them,”
they said. A process had been set in motion to fill all vacancies in the RPF at different levels and wherever necessary, the ministry would create and fill up additional posts so as to augment the strength of the RPF both in number and skills. In the course of a joint survey carried out by senior officials of the RPF and the Punjab police, 32 strategic places were identified at the railway station where the CCTVs would be installed soon. The proposal had already been sent to the divisional headquarters of the northern railway at Ferozepur for necessary follow-up action which was expected to be taken soon, the sources added. It was learnt that initially, the CCTVs would be set up at railway platforms, entry points to the railway station, general ticket complex, reservation centre, parking lots and taxi stands in the
railway compound. |

SAD Factions Clash
Mandi Ahmedgarh, December 3 The police had to use force to disperse a group of SAD activists, led by former chairman Tufail Mohammad, and Jagwant Singh Jaggie, district general secretary of the party, who had allegedly tried to taken possession of the office of the truck union by garlanding Zora Singh as their president. According to Soni Momnabad, president of the union, a large number of activists armed with swords had allegedly attacked his supporters when they were going to hold a meeting at their office in Guru Teg Bahadur market this evening. They were allegedly wielding swords and lathis. The complainant alleged that former chairman Tufail Mohammad, Jagwant Jaggie and Zora Singh were leading the activists. They allegedly forced their entry into the office and tried to impose Zora Singh as president of the union by garlanding him and distributing sweets. However, they ran away when supporters of Soni tried to down the shutters of the office. Investigations revealed that the SAD faction, led by former minister Abdul Gaffar, had elected Soni as president of the union about a year ago. A dispute occurred earlier also and Zora Singh and his supporters were booked by the police. Sources at the police station revealed that some activists, belonging to both factions, were nabbed by the police while they were disrupting peace of the town. It has been decided to initiate preventive action against them. A case would be registered against the guilty after verification of allegations and counter-allegations, claimed the police officials. |

Unaccounted rice being sold at small towns
Mandi Ahmedgarh, December 2 Instead of selling polished rice at lower rates on credit and losing thousands of rupees in tax, they prefer to dispose of the produce at higher rates, allegedly without bill. Buyers also make enough profit by selling the commodity to retail grocers. Investigations by The Tribune revealed that owners of rice shellers situated in big cities of the state and adjoining parts of Haryana were reportedly disposing of blocked stocks of rice of various varieties and grades. While some of them adopted the practice to evade tax, the others were compelled to do so as huge quantities of rice had accumulated at their shellers due to the non-lifting of levy rice by the central food agency. Steep decline in prices of rice bran and rice husk, two main byproducts of millers, was another reason behind selling rice on black market. The rice sheller belt of Patiala and Sangrur, which alone accounts for at least 50 per cent of the total 4,000 rice shellers in the state, faced the problem due to the decrease in vegetable oil prices in the international market. This resulted in a sharp drop in rice bran, which is used in extracting oil. Similarly, rice husk, which is used as a fuel to make steam in boilers in most big industries, has also seen a drop in prices. In order to combat the crunch, some millers preferred to sell a part of rice stocks to commission agents and dealers in small towns and purchase centres at villages of the area falling under district Ludhiana and Sangrur. Agents were been seen taking orders from dealers at Malaudh, Dehlon, Pakhowal, Jodhan, Latala and Barurndi market, besides the local market. While “pucca” is used for transaction in white, orders for transaction without bill are booked under “Ram ram” category. Depending upon the variety and quality of the rice rates are quoted between Rs 1,200 and Rs 1,800 per quintal. Recently under-cutting going on between rice shellers created problems for booking agents. After being offered rice at lower rates, some dealers retracted from their deals. In one case, a truckload of rice that belonged to a miller of Amloh remained stranded at Pakhowal village as the commission agent had refused to accept the commodity at a price settled earlier. The owner of the truck and miller had sought intervention of the police in maturing the deal. However, the police defused the issue by making the commission agent bear loss due to transportation. |
LS Poll
Ludhiana, December 2 Addressing a mediapersons here on Sunday, state president of the sammelan Amrit Lal Aggarwal said in a letter written to SAD chief Sukhbir Badal and chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, the body had apprised them of the support lent by the members of the community to SAD and BJP candidates in parliamentary and civic body elections in the state. He, however, lamented that even after a number of public announcements by SAD leaders, nothing concrete had been done to give due representation to the community in the political setup even though the community had done its bit to expand and consolidate the vote bank of the ruling coalition. Aggarwal said now that the Lok Sabha polls were round the corner, it would be prudent for the SAD to nominate a suitable person recommended by the Aggarwal Sammelan as the party candidate for Ludhiana parliamentary seat. “The body will not only ensure victory of the party nominee from this seat but the next Member of Parliament will prove to be an asset to the SAD-BJP group of MPs in the next Lok Sabha,” he added.

Insurance employees submit MoU
Ludhiana, December 2 The delegation conveyed their viewpoint against the proposed comprehensive legislations on insurance seeking to hike FDI (foreign direct investment) limit from 26 per cent to 49 per cent. Change in the investment norms of insurance funds, facilitating transfer of funds outside the country and to privatise the four general insurance companies, as per employees would harm the Indian economy. The delegation said it was unfortunate that the UPA government was refusing to learn lessons and was exposing the Indian insurance industry to the speculation financial capital to gain greater access to the domestic saving. The financial crises in the US and Europe has seriously eroded the confidence in the banking and insurance sectors. A large number of banks and insurance companies, including AIG have been virtually taken over by the government. Almost all the foreign partners of the Indian private insurance companies are in great difficulty. Amarjit Singh said the proposal to change the investment norms would jeopardise the safety of the funds of the policyholders. "The decision to allow the public sector general insurance companies to approach the capital market is aimed at privatisation of these successful companies," he said. He further said the government intended to amend the LIC Act, 1956, through a separate legislation to increase the capital of LIC from Rs 5 crore to Rs 100 crore. The LIC today has an asset base of Rs 8, 04,000 crore which is nearly Rs 1,17,000 crore more than its liability. It has a solvency reserve of over Rs 25,000 crore. The LIC does not require any additional capital. In this situation it becomes clear that the decision to the hike the capital is the step towards privatisation of the most successful public sector insurer. The delegation requested Dhillon to impress upon the finance minister and the Prime Minister to abrogate this step of introducing negative clause in the Comprehensive Bill on insurance, which is against the interest of the policyholders and economic sovereignty of the country. Dhillon assured the delegation that he would take up these issues in the party as well as in the Parliament

Ludhiana, December 2 The department is observing the World Disability Day on December 3, wherein, experts from different fields will share the stage with the chief medical officer and the minister concerned Chaudhary Swarna Ram for speeches. There are no ramps in public offices and no provision of wheelchairs and tricycles from the government that restricts the free movement of physically disabled people. Moreover, these people, including young children, have to wait for years to get a disability certificate that is mandatory for their special pensions and travel concessions. Baljeet Singh, an ex-employee of the Punjab police, registered his grudges against the department of health and family welfare and the department of social security, women and child development. Also, as per the municipal corporation, Ludhiana, the departments were running away from their duties. “Speeches on the disability day is not going to earn dignity for us, as we need the ministry concerned to come forward and do something for us,” lamented Baljeet. The department has also nullified an inclusive education programme being undertaken by the CBSE, not to forget the efforts being made by the NGOs to get the special children admitted in CBSE schools. Dr Neelam Sodhi, director, Aashirwaad, a city-based NGO, said, “The department should extend help to the associations working for disabled people and children through awareness, accessibility and inclusion.” She also referred to the theme given by the United Nations for the World Disability Day, a couple of years ago, that read “Nothing about us, without us”, which the departments concerned have altogether ignored.
