Suicide bid by lovers, boy feared drowned
Similar incident just a month ago
The incident revived memories among people in the area about an “honour killing” exactly a month earlier in which a ‘Dalit’ youth, Gagandeep Singh of Lamma Jattpura village, was murdered by the ‘Jat Sikh’ family members of the girl he loved.
Jagraon, August 2 The boy has been identified as Lovedeep Singh, a resident of Kukkar Gali, Jagraon who was studying for an electronics diploma at ITI, Manuke while the girl has been identified as Amandeep Kaur, a resident of Bardeke village near Jagraon and a class 12 student of Government Sanmati College for Science & Research, Jagraon. According to sources, the young couple had been “in love” for a long time and wanted to get married. However this was not acceptable to the girl’s ‘Jat Sikh’ family while the boy belonged to a “lower caste” family.
“Lovedeep had a strong emotional attachment with Amandeep and he wanted to marry her. But after the girl’s family members
opposed the idea the boy had been very upset for quite some time”, said a close friend of Lovedeep. On Tuesday morning Lovedeep met Amandeep outside her college from where both of them boarded a bus bound for Raikot. They got down near the Akhara village bus stop situated only a few meters away from the Abohar branch canal. According to sources, the couple had a discussion regarding their relationship and the probability of their getting married. “When Amandeep told Lovedeep her family would never agree to their union. Lovedeep got upset and they then decided it would be preferable to die together. Holding each other’s hands, the jumped into the canal. However Amandeep was rescued by some people nearby who jumped into the canal. Though they also tried to save Lovedeep he could not be found in the canal water. Though the boy’s body has not yet been recovered it is feared he might have been swept away with the fast current”, the sources added. Soon after the incident a police team arrived at the scene and took Amandeep into custody. In her statement to the cops the girl admitted she and her boyfriend had decided to commit suicide as her family members were against their plan to marry each other. Meanwhile, no case has been filed by the police till the filing of this report. According to SHO city Gurpreet Singh, the police has deployed divers at various places to find Lovedeep’s body. “We have recorded the statements of family members of both the boy and the girl. We are looking into various aspects of the incident and appropriate action will be taken after verifying the facts”,
he added.

Ludhiana presented as clean to UK delegation
Ludhiana, August 2 Thanks to the Municipal Corporation (MC) that is in a cleanliness overdrive and has chalked out the itinerary of the delegation in such a way that the delegation only sees good things in the city. The Budda Nullah, the pockmark on the city, has been given a go-by on the delegation’s schedule. Various places like the indoor stadium on Pakhowal Road, projects under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, Rose Garden, Guru Nanak Stadium, Punjab Agricultural University, Rakh Bagh, Sewerage Treatment Plant at Balloke and some other projects are on the list. The delegation started its visit around the city today and the Zone D office of the civic body, where the delegation had its first meeting with the officials, was given a spick and span look. Even the door frame metal detector, which is kept at the entry of the Zone D building, was working. Most of the days, it is seen that this device remains out of order. The roads, from where the delegation members passed this morning, wore a clean look. Sources in the MC said this was being done so that the delegation members could have a “good” picture of the civic body’s functioning in their mind. On the other hand, the delegation members said they had come to the city with an open mind and would be able to comment further about the city only when they go through the entire city. On asked about the traffic congestion in the city, Satish Shah, one of the delegation members stated, “It is our first day to the city, but surely Ludhiana is having a large number of vehicles,” he quipped. Though the MC officials claimed that they had planned the visit of Leicester City Council officials in such a manner that they could have a complete look of their “sister city”, things seemed otherwise. Buddha Nullah, which is one of the most-talked-about things in the city, has been left out of their itinerary. Though the UK delegation would be visiting various places such as the indoor stadium on Pakhowal Road, projects under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, Rose Garden, Guru Nanak Stadium, Punjab Agricultural University, Rakh Bagh, Sewerage Treatment Plant at Balloke, and some other projects, Buddha Nullah was left out. Sources in the MC claimed that this was being done as the MC officials did not want to show “something” which showed the civic body’s failure to their foreign guests.

PU yet to declare MA-I results
Students in a fix
Students have been making the rounds at their colleges to ask officials whether they had any idea when their results would be declared. Jasbir Kaur
Makkar, principal of SCD Government College, said it was the first time in the past three or four years that results had been delayed. We have been in regular contact with PU authorities as students are anxiously waiting for their results. We hope within a week or so all results will be declared, she
stated.
Ludhiana, August 2 While PU has declared the results of almost all undergraduate students, the results of MA (first year) in subjects like fine arts, political science, history, English, Punjabi, Hindi, geography and economics as well as results of the MSc (mathematics), MCom (first year) and MSc (IT) (first year) part I exams have yet to be announced. Students have been making the rounds at their colleges to ask officials whether they had any idea when their results would be declared. Sujata Anand, a student who has yet to secure admission in MA (second year), said: "Though the new session commenced at the end of last month PU hasn’t declared our results. The results of all the first-year MA exams are awaited. The varsity should have declared the results by now”. Jasbir Kaur Makkar, principal of SCD Government College, said it was the first time in the past three or four years that results had been delayed. "There have been no admissions to the second year MA courses while MA- I classes have already begun as there was no delay in BA-III results. We have been in regular contact with PU authorities as students are anxiously waiting for their results. We hope within a week or so all results will come out", she stated. An employee at the varsity office of controller of examinations said on condition of anonymity: “We have yet to get the exam marks sheets that were to be sent by external examiners. Unless they send us the details we can’t compile the results”. Meanwhile, PU controller of examinations AK Bhandari could not be contacted for comment despite repeated attempts.

Mystery shrouds Rs 5 lakh funding for college structure
Ludhiana, August 2 ‘‘I didn’t announce the grant at any function - I just sanctioned the funds and they were released, ’’ said Gabria. However, the college principal, Gurminder Kaur, averred: "I don’t know anything about the grant. They never gave us anything of the sort. The Rs 5 lakh that the minister says has been released was for the college’s conference hall”. The roof and walls of the heritage home, which houses ethnic items and is located near the principal's office, used to leak whenever it rained but only a few college students were aware about this. Broken couches and chairs in the verandah give it the appearance of a junk room, with stray dogs finding shelter in boxes lying outside the home. The home, a dream project of former principal Prabjot Kaur, was built in 2006 in association with the Punjabi department. The college’s old students association funded Rs 1.25 lakh for the initiative. Rural students contributed old ornaments, traditional outfits, agricultural instruments, old doors, traditional kitchen appliances, ‘charkhas’, ‘sandooks’ (boxes), ‘gadis’ (carts), flour ‘chakis’ and many other items, some from their homes. "I’ve been eager to see the interior of the heritage home but am still waiting for an opportunity. My friends visited the place once during the past three years on ‘Dheean da Mela’, a festival for daughters organized by the tourism ministry, but I missed the chance because of long lines”, said Gurdeep Kaur, a third-year BCom student. Srishti, BCom final year student, said: “We went inside the heritage home in October last year. The stuff is good but we don't know why the college administration doesn’t take proper care of it." "It was an effort for urban students. Those students are totally unaware from our heritage. It was also useful for MA (Punjabi) students for whom 'Punjabi culture' is one of the course
subjects. Students and teachers of Punjabi department did a lot for this dream. We went remote villages to collect antique pieces. But without proper care everything is spoiling" said Jaswant Singh, professor from Punjabi department. “We don’t have the time for proper maintenance of the heritage home. First it was exams, after that holidays and now admissions are going on, we will care after examination”, said Gurminder. The city administration has organized a ‘Dheean da mela’ twice during the past five years and on these occasions it decorated the home but later completely forgot to maintain it. “We had requested Gabria to take care of the heritage home and hope the state government will take the initiative", said the convener of heritage home who is an associate professor of Punjabi at the college. |

DTO has no count of illegal vehicles on city roads
Ludhiana, August 2 A few defaulters are caught by the department only when they are issued challans, while several others continue to ply their vehicles illegally unabated. On the estimated number of illegal three-wheelers or heavy vehicles plying on city roads, District Transport Officer Ashwani Sharma said the department had no way of counting the exact number of vehicles without documents. “Such vehicles are found only while initiating a challan drive. Vehicles without proper documentation are issued challans and penalties are imposed on them. In severe cases, many vehicles are impounded by the department,” he says adding that challan drives are initiated by the department regularly to keep a check on illegal plying of vehicles. Rajnish Kumar, an auto-rickshaw driver, says, if not all, drivers of almost half of the three-wheelers plying on the city roads do not have proper documents. However, in the absence of stern action by the department, a majority of drivers do not bother to update their documents. “A traffic policeman of the municipal corporation had recently challaned my vehicle and taken my registration copy. Due to personal problems, I could not go to the office to collect the RC, but am still plying the vehicle. I cannot earn my livelihood if I stop plying my vehicle,” says Rajnish Kumar. An employee working at the DTO, requesting anonymity, says ideally all such vehicles should be impounded by the department. “However, the government has not formulated any policy on keeping illegal vehicles in the custody of the department. Secondly, due to political interference, we can hardly crack a whip against the defaulters (majority of whom are auto-rickshaw drivers), as they are a good vote bank for political parties. Auto-rickshaws and heavy vehicles keep plying on roads without fitness certificates or valid permits but we can do little to stop them,” he rues.

Pruned to 25 beds, ayurvedic hospital yet to take off
Govt project that backfired The Punjab government had approved the opening of five new ayurvedic hospitals in the state i.e. at
Ludhiana, Datarpur (Hoshiarpur), Amritsar, Bathinda and Jalandhar. The hospitals were started at four places, including
Ludhiana, in 1992 but they all failed due to shortage of funds and staff. The Ludhiana hospital had 10 beds.
Ludhiana, August 2 On October 16, while laying the foundation stone of the hospital, Chawla had set a deadline of five months for making the hospital functional. However, the Rs 37-lakh project, funded by the National Rural Health Mission, has been delayed by over five months and the officers of the department blame it on the municipal corporation. Dr Narender Dhand, district ayurvedic officer, said: “Earlier, the hospital building was supposed to be constructed on the ground floor alone. However, the municipal corporation denied permission to cover the green belt area of the park where the building was to come up. So it was decided to construct its first floor as well. As a result, the hospital, which was earlier supposed to have 50 beds, will now accommodate not more than 25 beds.” Dr Dhand further said the delay in the setting up of the hospital was due to the refusal of the corporation to allow construction of a ramp to join the first floor with the ground floor. “We later learned that the area where the ramp was to be constructed was with the Model Gram Society. So the construction got delayed. We hope to get the hospital ready by August-end.” The hospital premises, which has three OPDs, four therapy rooms along with emergency services, has two big halls,
where indoor patients will be treated. “The contractor also delayed the project. And now everything is complete, except the
toilets. Once the hospital starts working, it will provide quality treatment to patients through Panchkarma,” added
Dr Dhand.

power
shortage Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, August 2 Industrial units have been forced to cut down their production from three to one day. The units have also been barred from purchasing power from the open access system during compulsory weekly day offs. To make the situation worse, those procuring power under this system have been forced to pay an additional line charge of Rs 80,000 per month. To check the gap between demand and the availability of power, coupled with overloading of the northern grid, the corporation has, with effect from August 1, imposed one compulsory weekly day off for industrial units fed from category II feeders while arc-induction furnaces and rolling mills have been asked to observe three compulsory weekly day offs. Slamming the corporation for its failure to fulfil the demand of more power for the industrial sector and denial of the right to purchase power under open access system, Badish Jindal, president, Federation of Punjab Small Industries Associations, said, “ Though the industry has been barred from purchasing power from other sources during compulsory weekly day offs, it has been forced to deposit Rs 2,700 per day for keeping that option with them.” “The open access option is available to units with a connected load above 1 MW. About 250 units have opted for this and most of them are induction furnaces and rolling mills. These units are assisting the corporation by purchasing power at their own level so as to help it cater to other categories of consumers,” added Jindal. Charging the corporation’s management with taking a stand, which tantamounts to forcing the industry to shut, Jindal said even procurement of power under the open access system appears to be unacceptable to them. “The industry was earlier barred from purchasing more than 50 per cent of its total consumption under the open access system during the working days. But, now, the corporation has banned purchase of power during the compulsory weekly day offs, which is entirely unjustified.”

Auto-rickshaw fare hike irks commuters
Doraha, August 2 Om Parkash Jodhan, president, Auto-Rickshaw Union, said that, keeping in view the problem faced by the commuters, the union was thinking in terms of giving relaxation to commuters especially on the smaller routes. “The union is thinking upon the feasibility of giving relaxation of Rs. 5 upto 1.5 km. The decision may be taken in the coming days and the commuters will be duly informed about the reversion. In case of over-charging by any auto-rickshaw driver, the commuters can launch a complaint with the auto union immediately so that necessary action can be taken against the accused” the president said. The commuters are facing tough time due to what they call ‘double’ hike in the auto fares. As the auto-rickshaw union had hiked the minimal fare from Rs 5 to Rs 10 for shorter routes as well, the commuters were quite upset over the hike. “Even if the union reverses the prices for a fixed distance, the auto drivers and owners keep charging the same from the commuters. When one resists, one is not allowed to board the auto and has to face embarrassment in front of other commuters. The drivers do not stick to any distance- they have be paid the same, it may be for 5 km or even for half a mile” expressed a commuter who hires an auto from Atam Park for the bus stand. At the time when survival has almost become next to impossible in the wake of ever increasing prices, this price hike has almost come as a bolt from the blue. “Paying Rs 10 every time for even a small distance really pinches you a lot. What can one do if the cost of transport exceeds your earnings?” said a factory worker. “Shelling out Rs 10 every time really leads you to rethink of what has to be done in this case. We know that no government is bothered to think about the common man and the appalling conditions we are facing in this inflated conditions. Is there any patience left in us that needs to be tested further?” complained a migrant woman working at a rubber factory. A daily commuter, who travels from Dholewal Chowk to Sherpur Chowk and shells out Rs 20 in a day, is so perturbed that he now prefers leaving early from his home to walk his distance rather than spend so much for so less. “The hike every time is unjustified but I wonder why the government does not intervene in this issue. The unions have nothing to lose but what about those whose medium of transport is none other than the auto rickshaw” he added “If the union can think of reverting the fare upto 1.5km then why not upto 2 km? The union should at least think twice before taking such decisions which directly affect the common man and put them in a tight corner” said another commuter.
