‘Akhiyan Udeek Diyan’ - Wadali’s take on female
Amritsar, August 25 Stating this to the media, Punjabi singer-actor Lakhwinder Wadali said he, along with co-producer of the film Navtej Sandhu, had decided to produce a film to send a message to the common man against female foeticide. He said even though the government had been educating the masses against this social menace, besides putting a ban on sex determination, they thought supporting it by producing a film on the issue would not only entertain the Punjabi audience but also effectively create awareness among them. Wadali said they had decided to give 50 per cent discount to students so that they came and watched the film to get themselves aware of the issue. He also said that he had not taken any money from the producer for the film as it was his duty to create awareness among the people about the social menace. Navtej said the concept of the film was serious but it had its lighter moments also. He said the film was being directed by Mukesh Gupta, while the script is by Sukhwinder Sukhi. Roshni, heroine of the movie, danced with the students of a private school during the film crew’s visit to the school.

3 years on, labourer’s search for his daughter continues
Amritsar, August 25 They alleged that their elder daughter Neetu and 14-year-old Puja were employed as maids by a family in Fair Land Colony in 2006. Sonu recalled that after some days Neetu told him that Puja had been sent to Delhi. Perturbed father went to the family to know how come the family send his daughter without his permission. The family only said that she was sent to their relative’s house in Delhi. He brought back Neetu from the family and demanded immediate return of his younger daughter. Gradually, he came to know that his daughter was sent to their relative’s residence at Vikaspuri in New Delhi. He kept visiting offices of the authorities to get her daughter back but all proved futile. Registration of the case was an uphill task as Civil Lines police station registered a case only on May 21 this year. The case was registered against Palwinder Kaur of Nangali village, Puran Kaur, her son Sukhbir Singh and grandson Tinku, all residents of Fair Land Colony. In his complaint, he alleged that their persistent requests for the return of his daughter infuriated the family who threatened to eliminate him. He apprehended that his daughter may be put to harsh work without any wage which amounted to bonded labour besides emotional loss to the family and the victim. Meanwhile, the family in dock claimed that the girl went missing from Delhi and a case in this regard was registered at a police station in New Delhi. SP (City II) Satinder Singh said a police party would soon be dispatched to New Delhi to verify facts that the girl was employed at the house in Delhi and registration of the case of missing girl at the police station there. He informed that a DSP rank official is looking into the matter.

S.S. Sidhu says he has genuine authority to sport red light
Amritsar, August 25 Suspended Assistant Labour Commissioner of Batala S.S. Sidhu was cornered by the media when he was spotted in the Deputy Commissioner’s office complex here yesterday with his vehicle, a grey-coloured Tata Indigo (PB-23F-8500) parked outside the DC office with a red light atop it, bearing no government authorisation sticker. When questioned by media members, Sidhu allegedly misbehaved with them, saying he had genuine authority to use the red light. However, his driver immediately removed the light from the vehicle and covered it with a cloth after keeping it in the car. The matter was brought to the notice of Deputy Commissioner Kahan Singh Pannu, who directed the District Transport Officer to challan the vehicle. He said he had earlier spotted the car and asked his staff to check the authorisation. The misuse of the red light is rampant while the authorities concerned find it difficult to intercept them fearing political patronage.

tax
Amritsar, August 25 This has come as great relief for the founder of Punjab Naatshala, Jatinder Brar, who said it was long-pending demand of theatre lovers and artistes who had been fighting for waiving the entertainment tax on live performing arts. Meanwhile, the naatshala and theatre lovers has decided to organise a thanks giving function to express their gratitude towards the Punjab government for the exemption of the entertainment tax on theatrical performances in the great institution and hub of renowned theatre artistes besides celebrating this event. Punjab Naatshala had done yeoman’s service in the revival and promotion of theatre in the border district and its adjoining areas. Badal, who was impressed with the efforts of Brar, who selflessly created the Naatshala, which not only helped in saving theatre and encouraging theatre artistes, had declared the exemption while watching a play “Faasle” at the Naatshala. Brar also played a vital role in generating interest towards the theatre in the public of the city. All the artistes, directors and theatre lovers would participate the event that would be held on August 26. Deputy Commissioner Kahan Singh Pannu would be the chief guest on the occasion. The naatshala has been equipped with the latest gadgets and technical backup and has become a place of importance for visitors and tourists.

‘Brick-kiln industry lies neglected’
Amritsar, August 25 He was speaking at the 51st annual general meeting of the federation. The Rs 50-billion annual turnover industry was ignored despite producing vital infrastructure for the nation, Chamak said. Recognising it as an industry, brick kilns were brought under the Industrial Act 1948 in 1974. He added that it brought the manufacturing units under the ambit of rigorous rules and regulations but no effort was made to turn it more dynamic and innovative. He said neither any dedicated Special Economic Zone (SEZ) nor a special focal point was earmarked for the industry since Independence. Interestingly, he said, the industry was handled by 18 departments which fall under various ministries, including Ministry of Surface and Transport, Ministry of Coal, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Finance. He said the government was spending thousands of crores to give at least 100-day employment to labourers but was not doing anything concrete for the industry providing employment to crores of people. Chamak rued that meeting the then Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujaral, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in his previous stint, former environment ministers T.R. Baalu, Babu Lal Marandi and many more in this regard did not fetch any positive results. The national president said about 500 delegates in the meeting would discuss the aforementioned problems and would request the government to set up a stat-of-the-art R&D center for bringing dynamic changes in formation of bricks.

Larking with the equation of science and poetry Images appeared, forecasting the coming events when the Mathematics teacher remarked, “if you cut his leg, algebra would ooze out; if you cut his arm, geometry would percolate; and by cutting his neck, it would yield arithmetic.” The comment was in great appreciation of his ingenuity in mathematics that he showed by getting cent per cent marks in the subject along with high percentage in other subjects also in the matriculation examination in 1957. Students generally take teachers as their roll models as they command great respect and appear to be champions of knowledge. So, after joining the Khalsa College, Amritsar, he decided to become a University Professor and, evidently, nature was benevolent enough to goad him to study up to the desired level, by virtue of which he got the desired opportunity to work and then retire as a Professor of Chemistry in GNDU in 2001, which he had joined in 1972 as a Dr Bhajan Singh Lark did his M.Sc. Hons School in Chemistry in 1963 and completed his Ph.D in 1970 from the Punjab University, Chandigarh. With a brief stint of one year at the Punjabi University, Patiala, he proceeded to Norway as Norad Fellow to pursue his post-doctoral studies at Trondheim. His scientific talent took him to the Tokyo Technical University as a UNESCO Fellow. His visits abroad not only helped him widen his professional horizon, it also was a rare scope for him to interact with different cultures/nations. His love for learning more and more languages helped him be a linguist with seven languages at his command. Handling numerous assignments at GNDU, his main dedication remained in scientific ventures. One of his equipment goes under his name i.e. Lark’s Viscometer. His mathematical acumen resulted in formulating an equation known under his name. Having produced more than one hundred research papers and guidance to research scholars for doctoral degree, he is also the recipient of many awards and honours. He is honoured to be the ‘life member’ of many prestigious organisations. His publications include books in chemistry, thermodynamics, engineering and environment. It may appear an off the mark interest, but his creative versatility in varied subjects in prose and particularly in poetry makes one wonderstruck of his multidimensional talent. A meticulous synthesiser of sound and sense in his verses, his poetic talent is self revealing in his rhymes for children. Many organisations have honoured him for his publications for children. True to his surname,lyrics come to him as naturally as warbling to Shelley’s skylark. — JS Jogi

Step down, Congress tells Mayor
Amritsar, August 25 The agitators, holding placards and raising slogans, led by Secretary of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, Harpal Singh Bhatia, trained their guns against Mayor Shwet Malik.

Why Capt doubts people’s mandate, asks Majithia
Amritsar August 25 “Amarinder is not only doubting the people’s mandate but also the Election Commission that has vouched for free and fair byelections in the state,” said Majithia here on Tuesday. Majithia questioned, “Have the leaders of the Congress lost faith in the people or they are levelling allegations and raising unnecessary suspicion in a democratic process because of the party’s defeat.” Commenting on the meagre Rs 100 increase in the MSP of paddy by the Centre, Majithia said, “Instead of issuing statements in Punjab, the members of the PPCC, along with other party leaders, should have been camping in Delhi to get at least Rs 1,600 per quintal MSP of paddy for the state’s peasantry.

FASHION with ‘BANG’les
Amritsar, August 25 Wearing bangles for two, three days before marriage has been customary but here the period has gone beyond a month. It’s more of fashion statement for the would-be bride. The tradition of wearing bangles is very old. Initially, just before 2 or 3 days of marriage the girl wears red bangles and uses oil on her head and during this period she cannot move out of the house till solemnisation of the marriage. The elders say that this was a sign that girls wearing these bangles could not go out of their house and was going to be married within few days. When the girl is married, she disposes off the bangles before the ceremony and wears `Chuda’ (special bangles presented by maternal uncle) and gifts all the red bangles to the unmarried friends or relatives. After that other girls mix green bangles with red, which signifies that greenery should be there in the girl’s life after marriage. This was the basic tradition. This custom is celebrated even now but in a different way with an extra function affecting the budget of people. Although most of the residents claim that it was a method to save the tradition, some rue that the new tradition is increasing the budget prepared for the marriage of their daughters. Even now, girls wear red and green bangles and dispose off at the time of marriage but she wears all these bangles in the presence of all relatives invited by her parents. Lunch or dinner is to be arranged by parents for the relatives and friends thus putting extra burden on them. Friends come and take red and green bangles with them as a gift. These are not simple bangles but these are different type of packed baskets of glass and metal bangles with chocolate and sweets. Girls wear many sets of bangles before 15 or 20 days of marriage. At this time parents of the girl arrange proper lunch or dinner for their relatives. Babita Handa, a city resident and mother of a marriageable girl, says they spent about Rs 30,000 to celebrate the bangle ceremony. However, she rues that the tradition was not adopted in proper form as it was not possible for the working girls to stay at home for such a long period.

Fortis Hospital does away with post-op ventilators
Amritsar, August 25 The patient is put on ventilator only during the surgery and taken off it immediately after surgery, in the operation theatre itself. Earlier, the conventional bypass surgery patients were kept on ventilator for about eight hours after the operation. Giving details of the new technique to the media here today, Dr Rajesh Arora, Cardiac Anesthetist, said artificial ventilation or putting the patient on ventilator required keeping a tube in the lungs through the mouth and throat which was painful and prevented the patients from speaking. He said this led to anxiety depression and prolonged stay in the Intensive Care Unit besides leading to increased risk of chest infection, further increasing the stay of the patients in the hospital. Dr Arora said the efficient and quick removal of the patient from ventilator has resulted in shifting the patient early from the ICU to the regular room and early discharge from the hospital, within five to six days after the operation, as compared to the 9 to 10 days at other centers. He further informed that they have also installed special monitors (BIS), first in the region, which helps in giving only very small required dose of anesthesia.

‘IELTS, no child’s play
Amritsar, August 25 McLaven met teachers of IELTS coaching institutes and education consultants from the city and adjoining areas. Goal of his visit in IELTS 20th anniversary year was to strengthen British Council’s relationship with the city’s IELTS training centres. He said IELTS was recognised by more than 6,000 institutions (including over 2,000 US universities and professional bodies) in over 125 countries. He explained that in the last two decades, IELTS has become the leading and most widely accepted international English language test not only in India but across the globe. Institutions and recognising authorities in English speaking countries prefer IELTS because they feel that the test gives a more accurate indication of a candidate’s proficiency in the language. Kevin announced that IELTS’ success is driven by a continuous focus on strong, expert-led research and innovation, along with a commitment to test language ability in a practical, real and relevant way. According to him, the course was designed in such a way that it suits the purpose, as it covers all of the key skills --- speaking, writing, reading and listening. “Indeed our face-to-face speaking test is the only true-to-life oral test available. Ultimately, IELTS is not just about giving students a certificate, but proving that they have the language skills needed to get the most from learning and working in another country,” he said. Kevin stressed that all test centres were closely monitored and followed the same IELTS code of practice and procedures. He also said the students applying for further studies in an English speaking country required to be careful as there were no shortcuts. “If they don’t have the required English language ability they will not succeed in their objectives,” he commented. “Secondly, as shown by the recent increase in the number of UK visa application rejections, students must thoroughly check the educational qualification requirements listed by the college or university where they intend to study,” he said. Kevin said, “As far as the English language requirement to study in the UK is concerned, there is no change with the introduction of the new point-based system. The documents students send to the UK university for admission would also be seen by the visa officer and if the visa office was not convinced with the documents then the case might get rejected.” He underlined that whether a student was planning on studying in the UK, US, Australia, Canada or any of the other English speaking countries, IELTS continues to be the most widely accepted qualification of English language competency.
