Commercial Buildings
Ludhiana, September 29 Not only this, with each passing day, the lawbreakers are finding novel methods to hoodwink the authorities. Be it political patronage, money power or recommendations from top bureaucrats, the building owners go for whatever suits the purpose (of completing the construction without any interference from the building branch). That people will go to any length to carry out unlawful building activity was witnessed in the Gobind Nagar locality near Punjab Agricultural University, when construction work on a commercial complex commenced on an old building just opposite the gurdwara. An “innovative” owner of a building put up a huge hoarding expressing gratitude to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal for delivering what they had promised. The hoarding carried the name of a SAD-B councillor as the one who had issued the advertisement. Inquiries made by The Tribune revealed that the owner of the building did not have much of political connections or any direct link with the SAD-B councillor. But the purpose of putting up the hoarding at the time when the construction of the commercial building was in progress was to keep the MC staff at bay till the construction work was completed. Even otherwise, it is not uncommon for political functionaries of every hue to come in the way of enforcement of building bylaws or even clearance of encroachments in the mega city. The situation is further compounded when some of the civic employees, out to make a fast buck, compromise their own position as well as make others also look away till the unlawful building activity is complete. When contacted SS Bindra, assistant town planner, D zone, confirmed that the commercial building was coming up without any approved building plan. "The building owner has been directed to stop the construction work forthwith and a notice has been issued to him under the provisions of building bylaws of the MC," he said.

Ayodhya alert
Ludhiana, September 29 Equipped with the latest weaponry, the QRT, which comprises over 30 cops of different ranks including subinspectors, ASIs and constables, would be used against “rebellious elements” trying to take the law into their hands. The QRT, which was formed in 2008 by police commissioner Ishwar Singh, who was then DIG (Ludhiana range), is said to be the best unit in the Indian police force. Its combat trained cops can get to the location of any incident in the minimum time possible, plan the task and complete it effectively. The QRT was trained to handle any eventuality in the city’s old market area. Being congested and overpopulated, the market can easily be made a target by antisocial and criminal elements. At the time when it was set up the QRT faced criticism for inducting cops with potbellies. Initially the unit performed badly during mock operations. Police officials were also not pleased with the time taken by team members to complete the exercises. The QRT personnel were later sent to Jahan Khelan near Hoshiarpur where they went intensive training to handle any crisis. Deputy police commissioner Yurinder Singh said: "We’ve put all our resources into ensuring the safety of city residents and the QRT is very much a part of it.”

3 women get RI for murder
Ludhiana, September 29 Those who were convicted include Kamlesh (26), Asha (35) of Ambedkar Nagar, Ludhiana, and Bholi (50years) of Kiranpura, Jallandhar. However, the court acquitted one accused Girdhari Lal of Ambedkar Colony, Ludhiana, finding no evidence against him. Pronouncing the verdict, the court of Additional Sessions Judge Manjinder Singh held that prosecution had succeeded in proving the guilt of the accused beyond any reasonable shadow of doubt. Initially, the police had registered a case under Sections 307, 34 of the IPC at the Division no: 6 police station on March 30, 2000, following the statement of Mohini, the victim. Before her death, Mohini had recorded her statement to the effect that her husband expired two years back. She was doing the job of a cleaner. She had alleged that Kamlesh doubted that she (Mohini) was having illicit relations with her husband Raju of Ambedkar Nagar. Bholi and Kiran were related to Raju. This often led to arguments between them. On March 28, 2000, she had an altercation with the accused
persons. On the very next day, all accused came to her house and told her to put an end to her relations with Raju, otherwise she would have to face dire consequences. When she resisted, Kamlesh poured kerosene oil on her body from a can. Bholi caught her by the legs and Asha lit the fire. When she raised an alarm, her neighbours came and got her admitted in the hospital, added the complainant. After the death of Mohini, the accused persons were booked under Sections 302 and 34 of the IPC. The police has also recorded the statement of four relatives of the deceased woman. But all these relatives turned hostile and retracted from their previous statements recorded with the police. But after appreciating the evidence on record, the court found them guilty relying heavily on the dying declaration made by Mohini before the Judicial Magistrate. The court held that the dying declaration was made voluntarily without any tutoring or prompting and her statement was recorded without any delay by the Investigating Officer as well as the Judicial Magistrate. |

Author in trouble for hurting Valmikis’ sentiments
Ludhiana, September 29 Nita Mukherjee, author of New Seasons-A course in Communicative English, 3rd Literature Reader, is in the eye of a storm for addressing the legendary sage in a derogatory manner in “The Story of Valmiki”. Repeated use of derogatory word against Maharishi Valmiki in a story meant for teaching in schools has enraged the members of the Dr Ambedkar Vichar Manch, Punjab. They have demanded immediate withdrawal of the book. Quoting the High Court’s verdict, they said 30 years ago a scholar, Dr Manjula Sahdev, had dispelled this notion. Her research was used as a basis for the High Court’s verdict, they added. "Dr Majula, had, in her research, said before writing The Ramayana, Valmiki was considered to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and was widely worshipped. Her research was used as a basis for the HC's verdict," they said. The verdict came following a petition filed by a Jalandhar-based resident, who went to the court against a TV serial ‘Bidaai’. Upholding his point, the High Court said Valmiki was a sage and not the one as addressed in the serial. The book is prescribed to students in numerous renowned schools across the city and is a Pearson Education, A Division of Dorling Kindersley India Private Limited publication. They have also threatened to take strict legal action against author Nita Mukherjee, publishers and the schools, which have prescribed it to their students, in case it is not withdrawn immediately. Talking to The Tribune, members of the Dr Ambedkar Vichar Manch, Punjab, termed “The Story of Valmiki” as concocted. They also accused Nita Mukherjee of hurting the sentiments of the Valmiki community by using offensive language for sage Valmiki.

Sources in the police said measures have been taken keeping in mind the construction of an over bridge in the Old Court area.

So in order to tackle traffic, we are planning to create adequate space from the existing structure," said the ADCP, Traffic. The police is in no mood to abolish the existing structure as it was the only round about left in the city besides Prof. Mohan Singh Chowk near Aarti Cinema. Sources said the move of laying a road in place of railing divider was initiated after the commuters complained about the huge space laying unused. The commuters complained that the traffic chaos could be controlled by trimming the dividers. Cheema said, "We are planning to remove railings in order to give more space to the commuters. A space of three feet is enough for a two-wheeler to move. Our focus is to eradicate chaos."

PAU students protest, press government to provide jobs
Ludhiana, September 29 A large number of the varsity’s undergraduate and graduate students held a massive protest on the campus today to demand that the Punjab government should provide them jobs by filling all vacant posts in its agriculture and allied departments. The students, who were protesting under the banner of the PAU Students' Association (PAUSA), boycotted classes and also blocked gate no 2, the main entry to the PAU campus, for over an hour. Earlier the students gathered outside the examination hall early in the morning to plan the schedule for the protest, where they were addressed by PAUSA president Ravinder Randhawa and other student leaders. The meeting was followed by a protest rally in the campus with the students carrying banners and placards demanding government jobs and raising antigovernment slogans. The rally passed in front of all the component colleges of PAU before reaching gate no 2 of the campus where they blocked entry for over an hour. Talking to Ludhiana Tribune, Randhawa, who led the protest, said the state government had “forced the students to go on the warpath”. "Over 1,000 posts of agriculture development officers and allied staff are lying vacant in the agriculture, horticulture, soil and other agricultural related departments, but the government isn’t filling them. This way we’re being denied government jobs. This is completely unjustified and uncalled for," he asserted. Randhawa added that in view of the government’s “apathetical attitude towards students' welfare” the latter had decided to protest. "Protest is the only way to awaken the sleeping authorities out of their deep slumber and to be heard," he remarked. The students said they had earlier met state agricultural minister Sucha Singh Langah to discuss the issue. "Though he promised us to address our grievance he failed to do so," said Daljinder Singh, another student leader. The students have threatened to intensify the stir in case their demand is not met immediately. "If the government fails to fill up the vacancies immediately we will intensify the protest," they said. Among others who addressed the protesters were student leaders Sumeet Singh Saini, Kirandeep Kaur, Yadwinder Singh, Gurpreet Singh Brar, Jaspreet Singh and Richa Sharma.
