Chaos rules Rohtak roads
Rohtak, November 18 Traffic lights installed at Ashoka Chowk on the Delhi road have been lying defunct for the past couple of months, much to the inconvenience of commuters. Ashoka Chowk is an important and busy intersection and is located a few yards away from the Chief Minister’s camp office. “In order to regulate traffic at the spot which witnesses movement of hundreds of vehicles every hour, the police had installed lights about two years ago, but the lights have been lying out of order for the past about two months,” claims Manoj, a local resident. He says though cops have been posted at the intersection, chaos prevails there as the traffic policemen have no authority to issue challans to offenders. “The violation of the traffic rules is rampant and cops remain a mute spectator as they are unable to take action against the erring motorists,” he adds. Raj Singh, another resident, says, “Even when the lights were in working condition, hardly 10 per cent of the motorists followed them and it is perhaps due to this reason the authorities have not been bothering to make them operational. Traffic lights at other spots, including Shiela bypass, Shantmai and Rajiv Chowk, are either non-functional or not followed by the motorists. Demanding strict discipline on roads, Yoginder Dahiya, a social activist, says the government should follow the traffic system on the pattern of Chandigarh and Delhi as there was no alternative. “Traffic police personnel should be given authority to challan offenders. The state government should also keep a check on three-wheelers in the town, which have become a menace due to pollution and traffic congestion,” he adds.

Sirsa Auto Market: Allottees’ wait for plots gets longer
Sirsa, November 18 In less than a month since the state government transferred the work of development of auto market from the municipal council to the improvement trust, the authorities have issued another order divesting the improvement trust administrator and SDM Satish Jain of the powers. Now, Neki Ram, executive officer of the municipal council, will be looking after the work of development of the market and transfer of plots. The INLD, which has hold over the Sirsa MC, has alleged that large-scale irregularities were being committed at the behest of minister Gopal Kanda and his younger brother Gobind Kanda. Gobind Kanda, however, denies allegations and claims that the INLD was peeved because he and his brother have been able to develop the market, which the INLD miserably failed to do in its six years in power. The issue of development of the auto market and the allotment of its plots has been hanging fire since long. The MC had carved out the auto market on 52 acres in 1982, who later allotted 1,255 plots of shops to auto dealers and mechanics on no profit, no loss basis in 1984. However, legal wrangles bogged the project from the beginning. A number of auto dealers, who failed to get plots in the new market and some landowners, who claimed low compensation for their land approached the courts. Governments after governments failed to sort the issue due to legal complications. However, Kanda brothers - Haryana Minister Gopal Kanda and HPCC delegate Gobind Kanda - succeeded in resolving the issue after mutual compromise. The state government transferred the rights of development of the market from the MC to the Improvement Trust last month. Acting upon the orders of the director, Urban Local Bodies, Haryana, CG Rajini Kaanthan, deputy commissioner, had written to the president as well as the EO of the MC to hand over all records, assets and liabilities of the auto market to the Improvement Trust. However, in less then 20 days of his orders, the district authorities have divested the powers from the SDM and handed over the powers to the executive officer of the MC. Padam Jain, district INLD president, alleged that there were large-scale bungling in the auto market project and the SDM had been divested of the power because he refused to transfer plots in violation of the norms. Norms prescribe that the plots should be issued to those in the auto trade and even the subsequent transfers could be made to only those persons. “Some influential persons own several plots in the market under fake names and they want to get the authorities to go ahead with transfer in violation of norms,” Padam Jain alleged. The DC, while confirming the orders, said it had been done due to administrative reasons. The SDM was not available in his office and nor he was available on his mobile. Response from his office was that he was busy in some official work.

Pollution takes its toll on Panipat residents
Dr Parveen Malhotra, a known physician, said COPD was the name given to a group of diseases that affect lungs, causing narrowing or blocking of wind pipes which could even lead to death due to heart attack and stroke due to destruction of the air spaces. This leads to breathlessness and could result in irreversible damage to lungs, he said. He said in order to deal with the increasing problem, which was reported mainly from the polluted areas, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) observed November 17 as the World COPD Day. Dr Malhotra said viral infections like H1N1 (swine flu) added to the severity of the problem and needed to be treated with more precision. Even others should realise that persistent breathlessness should not be simply dismissed as a sign of old age or exhaustion and such a condition should be immediately brought under medical care. However, the positive message for those already diagnosed with COPD was that effective treatments were now available and it was easier to keep COPD from affecting one’s quality of life. The only condition remained was that the problem should be detected early and treated correctly, he said. He said as per some reports, COPD was killing more people in the world as compared to cancer and AIDS put together. Even though government statistics say that there were around 17 million people in the country suffering from COPD, the actual figure was likely to be more, said Dr Parveen Malhotra. He said that spirometry was a simple test to detect COPD. According to Professor Peter Calverley, chairman of GOLD Science Committee, respiratory infections were a common cause of COPD exacerbations, which could reduce patients’ quality of life over the long term. Dr Malhotra said smoking bidis was more likely to cause COPD. Practicing good health habits such as getting adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically could prove beneficial in COPD patients. The doctor said lungs were strong enough to do their job until more than 80 per cent were damaged. However, once COPD caused damage, no repair was possible. He said the problem could remain hidden until it was too late. COPD made lungs age faster as lungs of a 45-year-old smoker might be only as efficient as that of a 75-year old. He said early diagnosis and correct treatment with easily available medicines could save lungs and ensure a normal life.

More paddy procured this year
Jind, November 18 According to AS Yadav, deputy commissioner, paddy arrival and procurement has gone up this season after a slumber start. He said 1,91,301 MT of the crop had already arrived in various grain markets in the district. The arrival is highest at Narwana where a total of over 40,000 MT of paddy arrived. Safidon with a total of 38,665 MT comes next, followed by Jind with 33,579 MT. Of the total arrival, share of the basmati variety is about 97,525 MT so far followed by the muchhal variety with 19,735 MT while the sharbati has recorded 5,196 MT. The parmal variety, which has the lowest rates, is mainly procured by government agencies. The MSP of paddy (parmal) this year has been around Rs 1,030 per quintal while the Basmati varieties are fetching anywhere between Rs 1,800 per quintal and Rs 3,300 per quintal. According to reports, despite good arrival of paddy and other crops like bajra and cotton, procurement by the government agencies has not been up to the mark. The majority of the crop is being purchased by private parties and there is hardly any incentive by the government agencies, claims an agent. While the MSP of paddy has been increased by Rs 30 per quintal, the procurement rate of bajra remains around Rs 750 per quintal against the MSP of Rs 880 per quintal. The procurement of paddy by private dealers is over 1.02 lakh MT while rice millers have purchased 20,490 MT so far. The total arrival of bajra in the district this season has already crossed 10,689 MT.

Achieve full literacy in Kaithal by March 31: ADC
Kaithal, November 18 He said during a recently conducted survey, it came to light that four districts of the state had low female literacy rate and Kaithal was on the top of such districts as the women literacy rate was just 36 per cent in the district which was even lower than the literacy rate of Mewat, which was 48 per cent. He said following population census, it came to light that 1.20 lakh persons were still illiterate in the district and this figure was really alarming. He said to make such people literate, strenuous efforts were needed by all those working under the National Literacy Mission. Elaborating further, Kaushik said to achieve 100 per cent literacy, 12,000 motivators were required. Students of class VI to class XII would work as motivators and they would provide basic knowledge to their elderly illiterate family
members. “Even if we succeed to make such persons learn how to sign and little bit of reading, it will be a big achievement”. He said the Directorate of Education had sanctioned the construction of 200 classrooms in schools which had helped to tide over the shortage of rooms, but still 200 more classrooms were needed to be constructed and the directorate had given assurance to meet the demand. He asked the heads of the institutions to forward the proposals for the construction of separate toilets for boys and girls in schools. Earlier, the meeting was informed regarding efforts being made by their departments for making the Literacy Mission a success.

College teachers rue KU apathy
Karnal, November 18 In a letter addressed to the Vice-Chancellor, with a copy to the Governor, the KUTA alleged that the university had been consistently evading key issues, running in an ad hoc manner and adopting an indifferent, anti-teacher and anti-student attitude. Crucial issues pertaining to academic reforms, more representation to teachers of aided colleges in governing bodies and issuing of clear guidelines to affiliated colleges regarding grant of study leave for attending pre-PhD had not been addressed by the university, which had a poor academic perspective, HCTA president Dr UV Singh said. He maintained that the university had implemented the semester system in a hypocritical manner with different pattern of examination in regular degree courses and distance education courses. The HCTA urged the university administration to shun its anti-teacher approach and adopt a constructive vision that safeguarded long-term interests of students and teachers and kept pace with the changing times. Dr Ravinder Gasso, press secretary of the HCTA, alleged that even in the Executive Council meeting, held on November 9, the university administration adopted an ostrich like approach towards the crucial issues. The KU administration was insidiously discouraging the research aspirations of college teachers and promoting the research mafia by encouraging the private sector. The intention of the university administration was quite evident in its decision to start an entrance test for registration of PhD, even for regular teachers, though the MDU had exempted them, he alleged. The step was erratic and shortsighted and the university should immediately issue clear guidelines to affiliated colleges regarding the leave to be availed for attending pre-PhD courses and promote research in the affiliating colleges by instantly developing a system to enable the college teachers to supervise PhD research. The HUTA also rejected the eligibility criteria framed by KU for selection of Dean of colleges as it violated the UGC norms and reflected the anti-teacher mindset of the university administration, he added.

Rare surgery saves 65-yr-old’s life
Panipat, November 18 Suraj Bhan, who was diagnosed with 4 to 6 sq cm of stones in kidneys along with 10 mg of serum creatinine (normal value is up to 1.5 mg), was facing the danger of complete kidney failure when he was admitted to RP Stone Clinic. The medical condition, which could have proved fatal for the old man, was treated precisely without any cuts on the body even as the patient underwent four operations. Dr Pawan Gupta, who is considered to be an authority in flexible ureteroscopy and is the pioneer of having introduced the latest technology in the country which is being extensively used in developed nations to remove kidney stones across the globe, said all operations were done by flexible ureteroscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy without making any holes or cut on kidney. He said Suraj had 6 sq cm stone in the right kidney that was removed through 2 mm passage of ureter by fragmenting the stone into more than 100 pieces which were removed one by one. No hole was made on him and similarly no cut was given on his body. Dr Gupta said recent tests conducted on the patient showed that both kidneys that could have failed in absence of proper medical care were now regaining normal functioning and serum creatinine level had gone down to 1.5 mg. He said the patient was treated with a new technique called Retrograde Intra-renal Surgery which was not yet available in many hospitals or medical institutes in the country. The technique combines the use of flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy, which is most affective procedure to treat kidney stones till date, the doctor said.

Fight female foeticide, girl students asked
Hisar, November 18 She said twice in a year India celebrated navratras during which the girl child was worshipped. And yet, female foeticide was so prevalent in the country. There could not be a better example of contradictions existing in society, she added. She said time had come to restore the status accorded to women in the earlier times. Parents needed to welcome the birth of a girl child and afford her all opportunities they would give to a male child. Vice-Chancellor KS Khokhar said the university planned to establish an engineering college exclusively for women in the near future. He said some progress had been made in ending the menace of female foeticide but more needed to be done in this direction. Asha Hooda gave away prizes to 50 meritorious students of the college. Former Minister Savitri Jindal also spoke on the occasion.

2,000 doses of bull semen imported
Chandigarh, November 18 The “eligible” Hariana and Sahiwal cows were being identified both at the farmers’ level as well as in gaushalas, in addition to top quality Holstein Friesian cows kept primarily by progressive dairy breeders of the state, for artificial insemination. The semen would be given free of cost to the gaushalas and at a suitable subsidy to the private breeders, depending upon their economic status. He said the semen would be directly distributed in the name of the village under a particular veterinary institution from the Semen Production Centre, Hisar, and initially would be used by specially trained staff of the department. He said after the successful trial of this pilot project, the department might go in for large-scale in-house production of top quality Murrah sexed semen, which was the mainstay of the dairy in the state by importing sperm-sorting machines for segregation of such semen. With this technology, not only would there be a revolution in milk production in the state, but it would also go a long way in maximising the economy of the farmers through both vertical and horizontal growth in female productivity.
