Preservation of city’s architectural heritage Pradeep Sharma Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 29 Sources said the expert groups tasked with the identification, conservation and management of Chandigarh’s heritage, primarily architectural heritage, will present a comprehensive report on heritage preservation.The report will be sent to the Central Government for approval. The expert groups formed by the Chandigarh Administration in July to identify heritage buildings with a view to suggesting measures for their preservation have reportedly finalised their reports.The financial implications of the whole project are also being worked out, a senior official informed. The administration had formed three groups for the task of suggesting a comprehensive plan of action for the heritage preservation in the city. While one of the expert groups was entrusted with the task of identifying the “heritage buildings” and suggest steps for their preservation, another group was to suggest engineering measures to preserve the buildings in a scientific manner.The third group was to suggest steps to be taken in cases of violations and suggest a legislative mechanism to deal with these. The sources said the expert groups had suggested treating Chandigarh as a single unit for the preservation of its heritage.While the Capitol Complex, the Lake Club and Chandigarh College of Architecture, designed by Chandigarh’s creator Le Corbusier, will be declared heritage buildings in the first phase, other buildings of architectural value will also be identified. A legislative mechanism to enforce the architectural control will also be suggested, an official added. Earlier, with a view to preserving the architectural heritage of the City Beautiful, as it was originally envisaged, the Government of India had set up an expert committee under the chairmanship of Patil. The administration later formed experts’ committee to suggest ways and means preserve the architectural heritage. Chandigarh heritage: Who built what Le Corbusier’s contribution

No end to patients’ fleecing by chemists
Although the central government has from time to time taken steps to check chemists from charging exorbitantly, little appears to have been done as is evident from the considerable gap between the wholesale prices and maximum retail prices (MRP) of drugs and surgical items at which they are sold in these shops.
Though no chemist is willing to divulge the actual cost of medicines, enquiries by this reporter revealed there is difference of as much as 500 per cent between the MRP and the selling price of many medicines. Dev Raj a resident of Indira colony in Panchkula, got his son admitted to PGI on November 8 after the latter fell ill following an adverse reaction of some medication he had taken. The doctors prescribed him an injection of Ticovan. The injection, which is being sold for
Rs 1,200 at the chemist shop in PGI, is available for almost half that price at
Rs 675 at almost any other chemist in the city. Till date Raj has bought 13 of these injections for his son. Narrating a similar tale, Prince, a resident of Amritsar, said he was charged
Rs 2,630 as MRP for a Meropenam injection at a nursing home in Amritsar. “The same injection is available in the open market for only Rs 600, less than a quarter of what I had to cough up”, he rued. Another malpractice detected during this reporter’s enquiries was that a few surgical items were available with different MRPs at various chemists. A packet of pressure monitoring line had vastly differing MRPs of Rs 81 and Rs 210 in two different chemist shops. Confirming shopkeepers had the prerogative to offer a discount to customers, some chemists said on the condition of anonymity that in the absence of any checks on MRP the actual cost of drugs and other medical items had led to malpractices in the profession. Even though former chemicals & fertilizers minister Ram Vilas Paswan had in 2004 announced a review of the drug pricing mechanism to ensure availability of medicines at reasonable rates, little has been done since to safeguard the public from unscrupulous elements overcharging customers.

Muddy water supply in heart of city
Chandigarh, November 29 Residents fear suffering from contiguous water-borne disease in the area. Residents have made repeated calls to the MC office to lodge their complaints. Kusum Parti, a resident, brought a bottle of water collected from the supply line to show the colour of the water. She said a large number of residents had collected the water in buckets to show to MC officials the quality of water. She said unsuccessful attempts were made to contact officials of the Municipal Corporation. She said nobody had bothered to call on the residents or visit the area to verify the compliant. The locality has old citizens as well as small children, who consume the same water. She complained that they were left with no other option but to boil the water. A visit to the area confirmed the complaint from different places in the sector. The MC Superintending Engineer, Public Health, R K Goyal, said that the office had not received any complaint regarding muddy water supply in this area. But the department would take the water sample tomorrow morning to check the supply of contaminated water. In a representation to the Superintending Engineer of the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh, Resident Welfare Association president Sunil Chopra alleged
that the mud was clearly visible at the bottom of a bucket filled with water. He said he had been talking to the officials concerned from time to time, but to no avail. He further said that they had also approached the area councillor Anju Beniwala to discuss the problem. But till date the authorities had taken no action Another resident, Rakesh Sharma, said that it was not convenient for the residents to boil the water every time. It was the duty of the government to provide safe water to all citizens, but the safety of the residents here seemed to be the last on
the priority list of the authorities.

CBSE boost to sports in schools
Chandigarh, November 29 Students of Class XII, representing their schools in different sports competitions, will now have to attend 15 per cent fewer classes than the required 75 per cent required earlier for appearing in Class XII Board examinations. According to the latest amendment made in examination bylaws by the CBSE, the new rule - section 13(1)(b) - has lowered the attendance requirements for students participating in recognised national sports events to 60 per cent. The requirement, as per the earlier provisions, was 75 per cent. Only students who participate in national-level events organised by recognised federations will be eligible to avail the benefit of classroom attendance concession. Under the old bylaws, all students needed 75 per cent attendance in Class XII as an eligibility condition for appearing in the board examination. The CBSE Chairman had discretionary powers to relax attendance norms in special cases generally for students suffering from serious medical ailments. The move comes as a relief to hundreds of sports enthusiasts all over the country, whose parents were sceptical about their children participating in different sports events just with the fear that they might be denied the roll numbers for paucity of the required lecturers. “We are encouraging sports in schools to nurture talent from younger age. Sports have till date taken a backseat in Board classes, especially Class XII. There have been many instances where talented sportsman gave up sports for studies. We have not only made sports a mandatory part of school hours and evaluation system but have also relaxed attendance norms to help such students,” said a senior official of the CBSE, Panchkula. It may be noted that sports minister MS Gill has repeatedly sought greater intervention from the education authorities to encourage sports in schools.

Panchkula realtor’s murder case Tribune News Service
Mohali, November 29 Without revealing the leads, Mohali SSP GPS Bhullar said, “We are working on some specific leads and it is just a matter of time before we would be able to solve the case.” The police is also banking on the outgoing and incoming calls made from the two mobile connections believed to be possessed by the deceased. Sources in the department said so far the call details had not revealed much as mobile phone of the deceased was switched off much before the suspected time of the incident. Several persons known to the deceased are likely to be questioned in the coming days. “Investigations so far have confirmed one thing that the deceased was under some pressure for the past few days. “The switching off of the mobile phone before the incident has raised several questions leading the mysterious death,” said sources. Lack of circumstantial evidence had only compounded the problem of the police. The body of the victim had been burnt beyond recognition. Barring the abdominal area, rest of the body had been literally reduced to ashes.

Finally, 69 security gates to be put up in Mohali
Mohali, November 29 Councillors had alleged the gates installed earlier by the civic were of “substandard” material and “poorly designed”. They said the contractor had not properly complied with the terms and conditions of the agreement as the house numbers and names of councillors living in the area were not mentioned on the gates. The terms were amended later and the contractor was asked to arrange security guards at these gates and improve their design as well. According to a council official, the pillars of the new gates will be stronger, weighing 350 kg as compared to about 20 kg in the case of the existing pillars. There will be brick work around the pillars that will also have glazed tiles. A sample gate was ready and work on the remaining gates would begin soon after it is cleared by civic officials. Council president Rajinder Singh Rana said today the sample gate would be approved in a day or two. “Officials of the MC’s engineering wing will also be present. If they notice any drawbacks in the gate these would be brought to the contractor’s notice so that improvements could be made. Work on installing the new gates will commence soon. A proposal to install 30 more gates in areas that were not covered earlier has been approved and with this the number of gates to be put up in the town has gone up to 69”, he stated. The gates installed earlier had attracted a lot of criticism from councillors. The contractor was eventually asked to remove advertisements from these gates as the purpose for which they had been put up had been largely defeated. The councillors had accused the contractor of making money by way of advertisements, violating the terms of the agreement with the MC in the process. The gates were not only of poor quality but also remained unguarded at night, defeating the very purpose for which they had been installed. The proposal to install security gates, floated by former Mohali SSP Jatinder Singh Aulakh, was discussed at length at a meeting attended, among others, by Rana, ex-SP (city) Varinder Pal Singh and former MC senior vice-president Rishiv Jain. According to the plan the gates were to be closed at night, leaving one gate open which was to be manned by a security guard who would maintain a register to enter the names of persons entering the particular area once the gates were closed. The guards were to be deployed only after their credentials were checked by the police.

Affected doc challenges criteria for appointment
Chandigarh, November 29 The PGI advertised the posts of professor and assistant professor on October 16. The advertisement stipulates the essential qualification for the post of professor to be a postgraduate, such as a doctorate in medicine (DM) in neonatology acquired from an Indian University or an equivalent degree recognised as such by the Medical Council of India, or a MD in paediatrics with two years training in neonatology from any Indian University or its equivalent. Challenging this, the applicant, Kanya Mukhopadhyay, has said that the same post of professor in the super specialty of neonatology has been advertised by PGI four times earlier between October 2008 and September 2010 with the eligibility qualification of DM, neonatology. The PGI has suddenly downgraded the required qualifications and is seeking candidates with a qualification of an MD (paediatrics with two years training in neonatology), she alleged. While paediatrics denotes a field dealing with children’s problem up to the age of 18 years, neonatology is a super specialization, it is for the newborns up to 28 days, she added. Kanya is MD, DNB, and DM in neonatolagy and is associate professor (neonatolgy) in the department of neonatolgy. However, this is, not for the first time that the qualification sought for an advertised post has come under criticism. In an advertisement issued on September 26 for the post of tutor, technician (radiodiagnosis) to be posted at the hospital’s National Institute of Paramedical Sciences (NIPS), the PGI sought candidates with B. Sc degree (medical technology or equivalent) with at least 55 per cent marks. The post requires teaching not just under graduate students (BSc) but also M.Sc and MD students. On the application of Dr Kanya, the CAT bench has issued a notice to the PGI authorities.

Streetlights non-functional in southern sectors
Chandigarh, November 29 While visiting these sectors it was found that most of the streetlights had no bulbs and the electric wire of some poles had been stolen due to which they were non-functional. Ward committee deputy chairman Dr Rattan Chand Rajput of Sector 56 said that there were some electric poles on the dividing road of Sectors, 55 and 56, which were bent for the past three months since their foundation was not proper. He said that the matter had been brought to the notice of the corporation authorities, a number of times, but all in vain. He alleged that it seemed that the authorities were waiting for some accident to occur as these poles could fall any time. Resident welfare association general Secretary, S L Goyal stated that some months ago, employees of the electricity department came to carry out the repairs, but many streetlights went off the very next day. Drivers and pedestrians virtually grope in the dark, as most streetlights were out of order most of the time. The residents revealed that following the shifting of slum dwellers from Sector 38 West to Colony No. 5, the number of accidents had increased. After sunset, most streetlights on the main roads of the sector are non-functional, thanks to the apathy of the corporation. Though the MCC pays substantial amount of money to the electricity department towards billing and service line charges but their work is far from
satisfactory.

Work on Pinjore-Parwanoo Bypass Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 29 The Division Bench of Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Ranjan Gogoi was informed that otherwise the process of improving the national highway, including the stretch between Zirakpur and Parwanoo, was moving at a satisfactory pace. Details of flyovers and underpasses thrown open to traffic on the highway to Delhi were also provided. The National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI) project director made the assertions during the hearing of a petition filed in public interest by Harish Kumar Puri for streamlining the flow of traffic for avoiding accidents. In his petition, Puri had earlier asked for the construction of rumble strips along with traffic signals at the crossings. He had stated that his 27-year-old son Ashok Puri had died on May 14, 1996, due to a complete failure of the signal system. In the reply, the NHAI asserted that the bypass progress was behind scheduled due to the delay in handing over of land from 62 km to 67 km in Himachal Pradesh. Moreover, heavy landslide during the unprecedented monsoons had added to the delay. Otherwise, 87.5 per cent of the target had been achieved on the Zirakpur-Pinjore stretch between 42 km to 57 km. The underpass at 42.7 km was thrown open to traffic on November 3, while underpass and flyover at 44.29 km and 44.49 km was scheduled to be opened on November 30. Other flyover and underpasses at 46.32 km, 49.42 km and 50.63 km were planned to be made operational by January next.

Bahuguna expresses concern over deteriorating condition of trees
Chandigarh, November 29 He was saddened to see edge-to-edge road carpeting adjoining a 250-year-old Peepal tree near Carmel Convent School and iron grills around the trees in the Sector
17 Plaza. He visited a majestic Banyan tree near the Inter-State Bus Terminus, Sector 17, and said the tree had been virtually imprisoned by vehicles and stuffed from all sides by road carpeting. His wife, Vimla Bahuguna, also accompanied him on the occasion. Sharing his disbelief, he said, “I fail to understand why in a modern city like Chandigarh, nobody raised the voice against this naked violence against trees and nature in general. How can a tree survive without fresh air and water finding its
way to roots?” Yuvsatta coordinator Pramod Sharma added that as Chandigarh progresses, there is a danger of losing these mature trees, as one can see edge-to-edge road carpeting, cemented platforms, branches cut vehemently and roots cut because of road widening, etc.
