4 kids of a family run over by train
Lalru, May 6 All of them were walking along the tracks collecting plastic bottles thrown by train passengers to earn their livelihood. The children were mowed down by the Lucknow-Chandigarh Sadhbhavana Express when they were crossing the Jharmal Choe bridge on the tracks. The deceased have been identified as Samshad (8), Naushad (11), Nabi Azad (13) and Irshad (14). The parents of the deceased arrived at the scene nearly four hours after the accident and identified their children. Their father Mohammad Azad, who works as a daily labourer in Lalru, said they had five children, including a girl. It was a pitiable sight to watch the bottles collected by the innocent children scattered near their bodies.“All our sons are dead, leaving us with only our daughter. Destiny has its own ways and we don't know what more it has in store for us. Bad things seem to happen only to people who are facing difficulties in life," said the mother of deceased children mother, Javeda. The bodies of the four children were handed over to their parents after a post-mortem was conducted on them at the Civil Hospital in Dera Bassi. According to an official at the Lalru train station, KV Singh, the accident occurred at about 9:50 am. "We received information about he mishap from some PWI employees and rushed to the scene.

RPO halts online appointment system
Chandigarh, May 6 Unlike before when applicants had the choice of choosing any date in a window period of two months, appointments will now have to be fixed, though still online, just a day before the desired day of submitting the application at the kendra. Though the decision is aimed at curbing the problem of people blocking dates in advance and then not turning up for appointment, it will deny many the convenience of planning things at their own will well in advance. Confirming the move, Regional passport officer Vitul Kumar said the existing procedure was being done away with to curb the trend of people fixing appointments and not turning up. He said this was putting genuine applicants to inconvenience as they had to wait for longer periods due to dates being blocked. He, however, clarified that applicants for tatkal passports would not have to seek appointment. Kumar said from May 16, applicants would be able to seek appointments only 24 hours in advance. He said all online appointments were closed till May 15 due to prior bookings so an additional slot of 450 appointments has been opened for booking till May 16.The decision has evoked a mixed response among the general public. Requesting anonymity, a leading travel agent said the decision was illogical. He said the passport office could have easily worked out the average percentage of daily "no shows" and booked appointments accordingly. All airlines work on the same principal and if they start following the passport office logic, tickets would be available only 24 hours before departure, he added. Rajinder Singh a resident of Panchkula, said what was the guarantee that people who book 24 hours in advance would turn up? He said now one would have to get into the race of “first-come-first-served” to get on the daily list for appointments. Nandita Kumar, a city resident, however, said this wouldn't create problem. Applying for a passport is not a daily affair and it can be easily planned within 24 hours. However, she admitted that the freedom to choose a date of one's choice would be missing. The online appointment system was started in Chandigarh in August 2010. In the initial months, the average time for the issuance of passport was 53 days, which has come down to around 20 days. The average time taken by the police for report has also come down from 60 days to around 18 days, said the regional passport officer.

Offended by email, PU geology head quits
Chandigarh, May 6 The controversy sparked off on April 28 when all faculty members, including Gill, received an email from Ahluwalia informing them the latter had been included in the committee formed by Vice-Chancellor RC Sobti to draw up a blueprint for the PU Science City, which was earlier proposed by the geology department. What however left Gill fuming were the remarks that followed.“I hope Gurtek won’t once again shout at the VC and ask him why a "reemployed" geology teacher has been given any assignment without his permission. While we all pray for positive inspirations to this dear friend and old colleague fast on his way to getting into my category, I request you all to pool in ideas and imaginations for the PU Science City so that we can jointly submit the same,” Ahluwalia had said in his email. Making a reference to the alleged removal of posters in the Granite Gallery by Gill, the mail further read: “It’s time for all of us to focus sharply on our share of name, fame and glory in this PU Science City; our Natural History Museum has been the star attraction of PU during the past 50 years. Our gallery posters had become of great interest to every one - students and visitors and their guests, so many of whom could be seen clicking pictures of them. Our friend Gurtek in a tsunami like fit removed or tore off the posters created by so many and donated by so many from across the world. Even the Granite Gallery in the chairman's room which was on way to becoming a Granite Museum has been partially destroyed by Gurtek in his rush to create a never before needed toilet. Not only our newly made toilet has been made ugly and unhygienic by obstructing light and air, the precious Granite Gallery is gone forever,” reads the mail. While Gill construed this email as being a personal insult, Ahluwalia has accused him of being “biased” and expressed objection on his department being shifted midsemester to a new building that, according to him, lacks any infrastructure . He has in this email also raised questions on Gill having “many” official rooms and laptops and also not applying for fresh CAS grants.

Nokia stores in city under excise lens
Chandigarh, May 6 A team of the officials led by UT ADC ML Sharma and assistant excise & taxation commissioner Naresh Dubey inspected the premises and seized certain documents to ascertain evasion of taxes. While two Nokia outlets were inspected in Sector 17, two shoe outlets--Shoe Tree - located in the same sector run by Nokia’s affiliate Sports Stations India(Pvt) Ltd, were reportedly inspected. Inspection was also carried out at a company outlet in DT Mall at the IT Park. Sources said the inspections were part of the “commodity mapping” method adopted by the excise & taxation department to target those commodities from where the amount of tax collected was less than the commensurate sales volume. Officials said while 12.5% value added tax (VAT) was reportedly being charged on shoes by the company from customers, only 4% was paid as tax. Similarly, under electronic billing only a single invoice was issued, which could be manipulated at a later stage. Under the rules the duplicate retail invoice has to be retained by the dealer for the payment of the exact amount of tax, the officials asserted. Similarly, the evasion of TDS (tax deducted at source) that had to be deducted by the company from the contractors engaged in the renovation of various showrooms was also being looked into by the department. Sharma said the suspected tax evasion was being investigated and stern action would be taken when evasion was established.

Consumer forum fines The British School
Panchkula, May 6 Coming to the rescue of the student, the Forum also directed the school authorities to pay an amount of Rs 10,000 to complainant Vikas Chaudhary, the father of the student as compensation for unfair trade practice, deficiency in service, mental agony and harassment. Chaudhary in his complaint claimed that after the session completed he applied for the transfer certificate of his son who had been studying in The British School, Panchkula, on February 17, last year. However, the same has not been issued till date. The school authorities, however, submitted that they issued school circular on January 29 asking the parents seeking transfer of their wards to submit their applications by February 5, failing which any request for transfer shall be entertained only after the receipt of the payment of fee, including the annual charges for the next session. “Since the complainant submitted the application on February 17, without giving valid reason for not informing the school up to February 5, as such no transfer certificates could be issued to him,” contended the school authorities. Delivering its decision, the forum said the son of the complainant remained in the school for the academic session 2009-2010 ending on March 2010 and that the complainant had deposited full fees and dues for that session for his son and nothing was due qua that session. “We find that after depositing requisite dues for the previous session, for which his son attended the school, the complainant is entitled for transfer certificate of his son,” ordered the forum comprising Ashok Kumar Jain, president, and members Sarita Jain and SP Singh. “However, non-issuance of transfer certificate by the school authorities is totally wrong and against the principal of natural justice. Thus, we find that the school authorities were remiss in their duties in not issuing the school leaving certificate and they declined no dues certificate/transfer certificate on flimsy grounds. We hold that this act of the school authorities tantamount to deficiency in service and unfair trade practice on their part,” said the forum. The forum, however, did not find any merit in other allegations of the Chaudhary against school authorities.

Caterer told to refund charges for denying services
Chandigarh, May 6 In his complaint Verma had stated he had approached Balaji Caterers for making arrangements for a dinner party at Arzoo Resort in Dera Bassi on November 12 last year. He said he had asked for catering, flowering and tenting services for a minimum of 600 guests, for which payment was made to the caterer. The complainant stated he had given 20 per cent of the charges as advance booking - an amount of `1.35 lakh - on September 9, 2010 and 60 per cent advance of `1.75 lakh prior to the function on October 21. The caterer had also provided the dinner menu in which 100 eatables were offered. Verma claimed the caterer did not turn up at Arzoo Resort on November 12 till 6 pm as promised despite several calls made on his cellular and landline numbers. Thereafter, 15-20 people who were available on behalf of the caterer expressed their inability to serve as they had no cups and plates. Due to the rush of guests and relatives they were forced to serve in small plastic plates available with the resort. Verma further contended the marriage party reached by 9.30 pm but the caterer made no proper and sufficient arrangement for 600 guests due to which many people left the party. “Even sitting arrangements were inadequate and accommodated not even for 50 persons, which also caused humiliation to the bride’s family members as it was a joint function arranged by them”, he stated. The forum, comprising its president, PD Goyal, and members Rajinder Singh Goyal and Madanjit Kaur Sahota, observed that the caterer failed miserably in keeping his promise to provide all facilities that included catering, flowering and tents for gracing the occasion for which payment was made initially as per the terms and conditions, which caused great humiliation to the complainant as well as his relatives. Therefore, the caterer was liable to refund `3.1 lakh along with compensation and litigation cost, the forum added.

Patil launches UT unit of Global Punjabi Society
Chandigarh, May 6 Patil said chapter should function as a uniting force and not as a dividing energy. If it functions as a uniting force, it would add to the strength and capability of one and all.

Stressing upon following the teachings of our spiritual gurus in our daily life, the Governor said Punjabis were known for their enterprise, hard work and leadership qualities. He said Punjabis have contributed immensely to the social, economical and political development of our country. "Punjab had been the land of Gurus and Seers, so the common Punjabis should seek solace in their teachings," he added.

Delay in environmental clearance Development at site to take longer Rajmeet Singh Tribune News Service
Mohali, May 6 In the process, the entire exercise is going to take few more months before the clearance is secured. “At the time of applying for the clearance, there was no state-level committee. But in the meanwhile, the state committee has been constituted,” said sources in the State Pollution Control Board. Presently, GMADA has engaged a consultant to conduct the environment assessment study. The terms of reference in the assessment study include various aspects of urbanisation that have to be taken into account for the project in question. The GMADA officials have given 30 months period to the allottees from the date of issue of letter of intent (LOI). But since the process of getting clearance is far from over, the development work at the site is yet to start. An official pointed out that, “Without completing the development works the physical possession of the plots cannot be handed over to the allottees.” The official added, “To be legally safe, we have already mentioned in the LOI that draw of lots and physical possession would be subject to environmental clearance.” Due to forthcoming Vidhan Sabha and the SGPC elections, the development work is not expected to start during the current year. After getting the environment clearance from State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC), the case would be sent to the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) for final approval. As per the new environment impact assessment notification, starting the development of any township or group housing project covering an area of 124 acres or more has to seek environmental clearance.

Former councillor urges Commissioner to float tenders
Our Correspondent
Mohali, May 6 In a letter to the Commissioner, Kuljit Singh Bedi stated that the last meeting of the elected representatives of the civic body was held on December 16 when estimates of development works worth about Rs 11 crore were unanimously cleared. The estimates were related to various types of works to be carried out in different wards and also some common works of the town. The civic body was dissolved in January for the formation of the corporation. All estimates cleared by the general house were approved by the director of the local government department and sent back to the corporation, but tenders had been floated only for works worth about Rs 5 crore so far. This had delayed the development work in the city. He requested the Commissioner to float tenders of the remaining estimates worth Rs 6 crore within 21 days failing which he would be compelled to go to court for which he would be responsible.

PU to allot grades to PG students
Chandigarh, May 6 In the move, probably inspired from the Central Board of Senior Education (CBSE), Panjab University has decided to allot grades to its postgraduate students than marks. The system, according to officials, would help in breaking the mark-based division, which many a times, has adverse affect on students’ placements. “We are following the cumulative grading point system specified by the University Grants Commission (UGC). Though the grade slab is yet to be finalised, we are aiming to have a nine-point system, in which whether a student achieves 91 per cent or 99 per cent, both of them would get same grade, said Controller of Examination, Panjab University, AK Bhandari. While many students have raised objections claiming that “topers” would lose their sheen, the university seems to think otherwise. “Marks are not just reflection of a student’s ability. The mark obtained by a student also depends on an examiner, his marking style and even probability of mistakes. The system would ensure that no student loses an opportunity just because for want of one or two per cent. It will be breakthrough in the existent culture where marks dominate aptitude and other skills,” added Bhandari.

A three-day eye check-up camp was held at Smart Wonders School in association with Health Plus to diagnose undetected vision problems among young children, which leads to poor school results and learning difficulties. The school held this camp and urged parents to further follow up if their child is having any eye problem. “Short sightedness or myopia, which is the most common among children, is one of the key reasons why many kids find it hard to read the blackboard at school. Undiagnosed vision problems can be a real setback to children in school and can impact their learning and socialisation,” said the visiting doctor, Dr Deepa. She said the parents must not forget about their children’s eye health. A quick and simple eye test can ensure their child’s eyes are fit and ready for the new school year. Dr Deepa also guided educators that students who are squinting, rubbing eyes, having headaches and frequently skip lines or lose their place while reading books have vision associated problems. — TNS
