Youth dragged out of hospital, assaulted
Ambala, March 10 Around 12 youths barged into the emergency ward of the hospital and forcefully took away an injured Ravi, who was admitted in the hospital last evening after a group clash. Later, they thrashed him and left him near Jandli village in the midnight. Ravi sustained serious injuries and reached the hospital in the wee hours today, from where he was referred to the PGI, Chandigarh. A clash took place between two groups of youths on the playground of Sector 8 while playing cricket yesterday. A youth, Gurpinder Singh, who was attacked with a sharp edged weapon on the chest, got seriously injured and was referred to the Government Medical Hospital at Chandigarh. Another youth of the other group, Ravi, also sustained injuries in the clash and was admitted to the civil hospital. According to hospital sources, around 12 youths came in their vehicles late last night in the hospital with sharp edged weapons. They entered the emergency ward where Ravi was admitted. They threatened the lady doctor on duty and another paramedical staff with dire consequences and forcibly took away Ravi with them. The hospital staff got terrorised and took a refuge in a room. Later, the staff informed the RMO, who further informed the matter to the police. Senior police officers reached at the hospital. Though the police had registered a case in this regard, no arrest was made so far. An ASI of the Baldevnagar police station had recorded the statement of Ravi at the PGI. Meanwhile, the doctors of the Civil Hospital, especially the female doctors, had urged the police administration to deploy police force in the emergency ward during night hours or it would be difficult for them to perform their duty during odd hours.

Water supply union supports protesting safai sewaks
Bassi Pathana, March 10 The garbage had started stinking as stray dogs, cattle and pigs were feeding on the dump. The residents had to make their way to their houses through slush. An epidemic could break out if immediate measures to clean the area were not taken. The situation was going to further deteriorate as the Water Supply Men’s Union also declared their support to the striking safai sewaks in a meeting held here today. They threatened the government to either concede to the “genuine” demands of the municipal employees, or they would paralyse the water supply in the town. Addressing the striking employees, Daulat Ram, district president of the Safai Sewak Union, said they had been struggling since long to get their demands fulfilled, but the government had always shown an indifferent attitude. Therefore, there was no other option than going on an indefinite strike, he added. He said now their strike would continue till the government regularised the services of part timers, scrapped the contract system, inducted new recruits and paid them as per commission report. Meanwhile, Kulbhushan Malhotra, council president, had urged the government to concede to their demands to end the stalemate.

Murder case of woman
Patiala, March 10 While SHO, Civil Lines, GS Sikand claimed that the CIA staff was investigating the case and was aware about its progress, CIA in-charge SS Chauhan said he knew nothing about the case. The SIT consisted of the DSP (D), the CIA in-charge and the Civil Lines police station. Lakhvinder Kaur, a power board employee, was found murdered at her house in Delight Colony, after unidentified persons stabbed her to death and later set her room on fire. Initially, the police had ruled out robbery bid, but they were still to gather evidence on what exactly went missing from the house, besides a laptop. Meanwhile, sources in the police department told the TNS that initially numerous persons were rounded up in relation with the case, but no major breakthrough could be reached. “We had summoned a person from Patiala and had recovered some SIM cards from his possession, but could not establish his involvement in the case,” they added. CIA in-charge SS Chauhan claimed that he was not aware of the progress in the case, despite the fact that he was the SHO, Civil Lines, in January when the murder took place. Chauhan had even visited the crime scene and had initially questioned all the relatives. “There is nothing to talk about in the case. You please contact other officers,” he told the TNS. A senior police officer ruled out the role of any political personality in the case, as earlier it was suspected that an Akali leader had some shares in the property of the murdered woman. “However, nothing of that sort could be proved and the petrol station was also being run by the daughter of the victim, who stayed with Lakhvinder Kaur,” he added. SSP, Patiala, Gurpreet Singh Gill claimed that investigations were on and the accused would be arrested soon. “We would surely arrest the accused in the case. The SIT is looking after the case on day-to-day basis,” Gill added. |

Consumer commission revises forum’s order against co.
Chandigarh, March 10 As per the commission order, Manjeet Kaur will get Rs 1 lakh. Manjeet had filed a complaint with the district forum that she had spent Rs 1,21,065 for the same. She claimed that as per the Hospitalisation and Domicillary Benefit Policy, she should be reimbursed the entire amount. She had also claimed that the company had objected to reimburse the amount on the plea that she underwent total knee replacement, which comes under first four years exclusion clause. However, the policy was in third year of inception. After hearing the complaint and counter arguments, the forum had directed the company to pay Rs 1,21,065. Aggrieved by the district forum order, the company appealed the State Commission and contended that the district forum had erred in ordering payment of Rs 1.21,065 when the company’s contractual liability was only Rs 1 lakh. The commission, comprising Justice Shyam Sunder and members Neena Sandhu and Jagroop Singh Mahal accepted the plea and revised the forum order. However, the company will still have to pay Rs 25,000 as compensation and cost of litigation of Rs 5,500 as the earlier order of the forum.
