Enmity between families forces youths to end life
Ludhiana, July 14 While the girl Sandeep Kaur (16) died last night, Harjeet Singh (20) died in the local civil hospital here today morning. This incident took place after a police team from the Baltoha police station in Tran Taran raided the quarter where both of them were hiding. On seeing the police, Harjeet Singh locked the quarter’s door from inside and then both of them consumed pesticide. They told the policemen that their family members wanted to separate them due to some rivalry. Sandeep told the cops that her family would get her married off to someone else if she returned home. After a brief argument, they fell silent. “Both Sandeep Kaur and Harjeet were laying on the floor when we broke open the door. We rushed them to the local civil hospital. The girl was declared brought dead. The man died in the morning,” said Ajit Singh, investigating officer from the Baltoha police station. They were on the run since July 7. The police had even booked Harjeet Singh for kidnapping the girl with the intention of marrying her. Meanwhile, the police has recorded the statement of victims’ parents.

Families unmoved; girl’s kin accuse boy of abducting her
Ludhiana, July 14 The boy's family claimed both Harjeet and Sandeep had attained the age of 18 and had all the right to decide on the course of their lives. On the other hand the girl’s father, Swarn Singh, asserted his daughter was a minor. Ajit Singh, the Baltoha police officer investigating the double suicide, said a kidnapping case had been filed against Harjeet on the basis of a complaint lodged earlier by the girl’s father. "Swarn had stated in his complaint his daughter was only 16 years old, but he did not submit any documents to substantiate his claim. We have registered a case and are in the process of investigating the matter," said Ajit. According to their parents, Harjeet and Sandeep were still teenagers and fell in love, which they said “turned out to be their biggest mistake”. They said they beat up the youngsters after they came to know about their relationship. Sitting outside a mortuary, Swarn expressed ignorance about the incident. "I don’t know why my daughter had to ingest poison. We’ll now take her body home and cremate it there. If Sandeep had told us she intended to elope with the boy we’d definitely have seen to it both got married. Her elopement caused a major embarrassment to us”, he added. However, his claim about being in the dark fell flat when Ajit said Swarn had been pressing the police to arrest Harjeet. Narrating the incident, a relative said the love affair between Harjeet and Sandeep strained relations between the two families. Harjeet then ran away from his home and took up a job in Ludhiana where, after spending a month, he shifted into a one-room tenement in the Deep Singh Nagar locality. “Meanwhile, Sandeep was aware he was “making arrangements” for her to elope with him. Both planned to start their life afresh”, the relative added. On July 6 Harjeet returned home and left the town with the girl around mid night. Swarn, accompanied by ‘panchayat’ members, filed a complaint with the police, alleging Harjeet had abducted his daughter. On Wednesday the police were tipped off that the couple was hiding in the city in Deep Singh Nagar, but before they could get to the boy and girl both took poison. A cop said on condition of anonymity: “The youngsters ran away from their homes. Their parents then levelled allegations of kidnapping and got a case filed with the police. They later mounted pressure on the police, demanding the youth’s arrest. This might have led the boy and girl to decide to commit suicide rather than be separated”. "In a majority of similar incidents it’s the girl who makes the choice of eloping with her partner but the boy often has to face a jail term for abducting a minor”, he added.

Dist Education Officer Sudesh Bajaj posted back to city
Ludhiana, July 14 Charan Singh Noorpura, secretary of the Democratic Teachers Front, said the DEO had already stayed in the district from 1988-2009 on various posts. “Even her earlier appointment as the DEO of Ludhiana on September 18, 2007, was a violation of rules. The Democratic Teachers Front, Government Teachers Union, and Punjab School Teachers Union had raised objections over the appointment, but nothing changed since she was politically well-connected,” claimed Noorpura. During her stay in office, she adopted an “autocratic” approach towards employees and staff, he alleged. After several protests, she was transferred to Moga in 2009. “Now when the elections are around the corner, the ruling party has brought her back. Already high-level inquiries have been made against her after several complaints were received from various quarters. She should be transferred outside the district in the interest of the education department,” said Bhushan Kumar Khanna, president of the Government Teachers Union. However, the BEd Teachers Front has welcomed the appointment of Sudesh Bajaj. The front said in a press note that the newly appointed DEO would do her best to raise the quality of education in government schools. In the past, several teacher associations had met political leaders, including the Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal, to seek her ouster. Sudesh Bajaj, DEO, claimed that the complaints against her were baseless and levelled by “fake” associations and persons. “I cannot comment much on the issue,” she added. |

Metal detectors at train station remain out of order
Ludhiana, July 14 Chaudhri, who was accompanied by GRP station house officer Baldev Singh Randhawa and Railway Protection Force chief commandant Gurjasveer Singh lauded the efforts made by GRP and RPF teams to bust the notorious Zehar Khurani gang. "The improved coordination between the RPF and GRP is now paying dividends and the busting of the Khurani gang is a perfect example. So far the suspects have confessed to have committed five offences and we expect them to divulge more information. We’re also identifying gangs operating around railway stations across the state and hope to nab their members soon. We met with some success recently when we busted a gang of chain snatchers in Patiala and another of vehicle lifters in Amritsar," said Chaudhri. He added the GRP was compiling data on criminals operating in Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana and Punjab and it would be available on its website soon. RPF commandant Gurjasveer said the force had received funds for installing about a dozen close circuit television cameras at various platforms of the train station.

Admn ill-prepared to deal with floods
Jagraon, July 14 But it seems that the local administration has failed to learn lessons from the past, as no arrangements have been made so far to deal with the flood-like situation in the area. A large number of farmers from some of these villages have incurred heavy losses in the past, as breaches in the river damaged their crops. The lack of preparedness can well be gauged from the fact that most of the boats, meant to be used during floods, are either broken or need repair. Besides, flood control rooms lack life-jackets, motorboats, searchlights, tents and sand bags. A visit to some of the villages, including Bhundri, Kot Umra, Gorsian Khan Mohammad, Abbuwal, Abbupura, Hunjra, Khurshaidpura, Parjian, Biharipur, Kannian, Hussaini, Baghia, Sarwal, Kiri, Pamal, Bahasar and some other villages, exposed the tall claims of the administration. Mahinder Singh, a farmer, said despite weathermen predicting heavy rain during the monsoon, it was shocking that proper flood-control measures were yet to be taken by the authorities concerned. Jaswant Singh Grewal, a farmer, said, “Defunct boats expose the ill-preparedness of the administration to deal with the flood-like situation.” Farmers of these villages have appealed to the administration to make sure that flood control measures are in place before the situation goes out of control. When contacted, Payal SDM Neeru Katyal, who also holds the additional charge of Jagraon SDM, admitted that some of the equipment were not functioning properly and a meeting was held with the drainage department officials in this regard. “We have been keeping a vigil at sensitive points. Besides, we have also written to the Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner, requesting him to provide all equipment at the earliest.”

Traders put up their shutters, stage dharna
Ludhiana, July14 Traders and shopkeepers in the cycle market, Gill Road, and several other commercial hubs around this area, kept their establishments closed and staged a dharna to vent their ire against the taxmen. Most of them regretted that the spate of illegal circulars as well as raids by the department was compounding the already grim situation under which trade and industry of the state were functioning. Industry leaders like Narinder Bhamra, Badish K. Jindal, KK Garg and a few others who took part in the protest alleged that the trade and industry were at the receiving end from the excise and taxation department, which was out to harass, humiliate and intimidate them. “We have had enough. If the raids on business establishments, which have become a routine now, are not discontinued forthwith, the traders will be forced to offer resistance at the sole risk and responsibility of the department,” they added while indicating that they are planning to form a ‘stick-wielding force’ to tackle raiding parties. Referring to numerous attempts by the department to make the taxation system more and more complex, Bhamra remarked that the amended VAT Return Forms 23 and 24 were proof enough that the bureaucracy did not want the industry to perform smoothly. Similarly, the raids on the premises of the trade and industry were uncalled for in the wake of adequate tax compliance. Flogging the taxation officials for causing harassment to innocent traders and industrialists in the name of bogus bills, the industry leaders asserted that the department was sheltering the main accused. “The main culprits of the bogus bill scam are assistant excise and taxation commissioners and other enforcement officials of the department who ignored the transactions of more then Rs 20,000 crore which was their main responsibility.” Taking exception to the entire mechanism of tax scrutiny, protesting traders maintained the Sales Tax Department were harassing more then 30,000 registered dealers (traders and industrialists) every year by putting their cases under scrutiny. Whereas, the department had assured the traders before implementation of VAT that the new tax regime would be a self-certified process and only one to two per cent cases would be scrutinized to prevent tax evasion. Making it clear that the traders will rather down their establishments rather than filing VAT returns in amended forms 23 and 24, the functionaries of the All-India Industries and Trade Forum (AITF) called for speedy process of VAT refunds especially the provision of 75 per cent refund against indemnity bonds.

District ayurvedic office in a shambles
Ludhiana, July 14 Decorated with a table, used for preparing a cup of tea and old iron cupboards, the verandah leads to this one-room office. It is stuffed with haphazardly placed furniture and electronic equipment. Age-old records have been kept on one side by just portioning the room with a help of a curtain. No one seems to have ever bothered to remove dust from the files out of which foul smell is emanating. . The District Ayurvedic officer sits amidst these on a lone table and chair provided to him. A Xerox machine is place on the back of his chair. An employee has been deputed to sit and operate it whenever required. On the left side of the District Ayurvedic officer’s table is a printer, which is connected to a computer and a stenographer has been appointed to work on it. The room isn’t ventilated and one has to keep lights on to do the work. There is some evidence of dampness in this office, as one feels suffocated. The District Ayurvedic Officer, Dr Narender Dhand, said: “Look where are we sitting and how I work? It’s very difficult for us to work here. I have to work in the presence of my subordinates. But there is no way out. Earlier our office was in a government building near Sainik Rest House. But, it was shifted to the Civil Surgeon’s office a few years ago. We are facing space crunch and have written to the Deputy Commissioner twice to relocate us to any other government building. But, nothing has been done so far. The Deputy Commissioner says not a single government building is lying vacant.” Clerical staff uses a room attached to the District Ayurvedic Officer’s office. Dr Dhand said: “More than six staff work under me. But, there is hardly any space for all. The room where clerical staff sit is also congested.”

With no seats in hostel, PAU freshers face grim prospect
Ludhiana, July 14 Hundreds of students from all over Punjab as well from outside the state, seeking admission to various undergraduate and graduate courses at the varsity, have been asked by PAU officials to refrain from seeking hostel rooms. The move has disturbed students, especially the girls who feel it would be too difficult for them to get secure accommodation outside the campus. Navpreet Kaur (name changed), who has applied for admission at PAU, said she had to give an undertaking she would not claim the hostel facility. "This is very strange even if we secure admission the varsity administration will deny us hostel accommodation. Students from outside the city, who don’t have any relative or friend here, will have to look for accommodation outside the campus. I belong to a fairly conservative family that’ll never allow me to stay outside the campus as a PG (paying guest)”, she averred. Baljeet Kaur, a resident of one of the varsity’s two women’s hostels, said last year also the PAU administration had refused hostel accommodation to new students following which the latter resorted to a strike. "At present I’m staying in the hostel room along with two other girls but we’ve been sounded we may have to put up with one more student once the admissions are over and classes commence. This is not done. In 2005 when GADVASU (Guru Angad Dev Veterinary & Animal Sciences University) was set up in this city, three PAU hostels were allotted to its students. After that no new hostel has been constructed here. If the varsity administration is admitting new students it must provide them hostel accommodation too", she said. The girl students maintained that it was quite easy for boys to stay outside the campus by being paying guests or take a rented accommodation but for former, it was too difficult for various security reasons. "A far as I know my family, they will not let me stay outside the university campus. If I fail to secure a seat in hostel, my parents will not let me study here at PAU", said Sangita, who wants to pursue her career in fashion designing. Sources in the two women’s hostels said PAU was coming up with several new courses including biotechnology, food-technology and fashion designing courses. “However the two girls' hostels could accommodate about 800 students only. As there many new courses have been introduced the number of students have also increased, but the hostels have limited accommodation", said an attendant at hostel no 6. PAU registrar RK Mahay said varsity officials were not in a position to accommodate all new students seeking hostel accommodation this year. "We’ll get the exact picture once the admission process is over. Availability of seats will depend on number of vacancies. The problem will be resolved after new hostels are constructed on the campus", he added.

Work hard, PAU VC exhorts employees
Ludhiana, July 14 Dr Dhillon said, “The files must not be delayed in offices. Let every work be time-bound for progressing further. It is time to bring back the green revolution era once again,” he said while addressing hundreds of faculty members and employees of the PAU. Dr Dhillon focused on diversification of crops. Besides, he spoke on promoting bio-energy. He asked scientists to work more on crops which produced biomass. He said natural resources must be used judiciously. Dr Dhillon said farm machinery (apart from rice and wheat crops) needed to be brought in to bring fruitful results. It has happened for the first time that any VC has sent a written invitation to all teachers to attend the meeting. The faculty has appreciated the move. One of the faculty members Lakhwinder Singh Sandhu said such motivational interaction by the Vice-Chancellor was needed. “We have been asked to work hard and as far as the financial part is concerned, it will be taken care of by the VC,” said Sandhu.

Carjacking
Case Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, July 14 The businessman alleged that he was implicated in a false carjacking case on the directions of a religious leader and Congress worker. Whereas the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Central) has slammed the allegations levelled by the businessman as baseless. Ashok Kumar, who manufactures gunny bags, stated that he had inked a business deal worth Rs 60 lakh with Jatinder Kumar. He alleged that Jatinder refused to return the money as he was close to the Congress leader. Jatinder got him implicated in a false case by using his political clout. Jatinder, however, alleged that Ashok and his sons, Parveen and Ramesh Kumar, were running the gunny bag business just for the sake of it. Their main business was to lend money on high interest. Jatinder claimed that Ashok gave Rs 6 lakh to him on very high interest. “I was shocked when Ashok claimed that I owe Rs 60 lakh to him. It was only after intervention of a few residents that Ashok and his sons affected a compromise. But, later, they backtracked and even thrashed me and snatched my car. How can someone in a gunny bag business afford to lend Rs 60 lakh to me,” Jatinder added.

Rainwater, filth dot civic wards in Khanna
Khanna, July 14 Though officials of the Khanna Nagar Council have time and again promised to shift these on the outskirts of the city, but they have failed to do it so far. A large number of dairies, nine educational institutions and a few religious places are located near this chowk. The experience of those who commute on this stretch and have to wade through rainwater mixed with cow dung is hellish. Kamaljeet Singh, a resident of the area, said they had on numerous occasions informed Nagar Council officials about it but of no avail. The cow dung from adjoining dairies flow through streets and often block sewerage system of the area, he added. Those residing in the area alleged that though the Punjab government had directed nagar councils to shift dairies out of the cities, but officials don’t care two hoots about the directions. Whereas Nagar Council officials said they were aware of the problem and would soon shift dairies out of the city?
