Crime graph looks north in city
Ludhiana, November 22 "Neither do we get any information nor we have any data about the criminals lodged in jails. They come out from jails on bail or after being released, but we know nothing about their activities. Had there been any coordination between the jail authorities and local police, the rising crime graph could have been brought down by keeping a track of criminals," said an official in the department on condition of anonymity. A majority of criminals lodged in jails who indulge in petty crimes including
snatching, theft and robbery incidents, are "habitaul offenders". And there is a provision in the law that these criminals can come under the Police Register Transfer (PRT) procedure. However, being a tedious and lengthy process, neither the jail authorities nor the police seem to be interested in keeping their record. If the claims of the police are any indication, there is a nexus between certain political leaders, "nukkar" (petty) criminals and cops, due to which such incidents keep on repeating in the city. " A majority of these criminals are drug-addicts, who commit the crime to get their daily dose (of drugs). And the snatchers have got “set separate shops” from where shopkeepers purchase the snatched products from criminals at lower prices. Obviously, they cannot go to any jewellery shop to sell the stolen products. If the department keeps a tab on guilty leaders/cops and criminals, things could be curbed to an extent," said the official. Jail Superintendent SP Khanna, when asked if any track record of criminals was sent to the police to curb crime incidents, said, "There is no such provision. The jail authorities do not provide any track record of criminals to the police. But yes, if it starts happening, things would be much different," said
Khanna. Knitwear Club seeks security
Members of the Knitwear Club here said that Ludhiana, being the hosiery hub, was the preferred destination of buyers. Due to the rising crime graph in recent times, buyers, however, feel scared to bring payments and even hesitate to purchase goods from the Ludhiana hosiery industry. Representatives of the club urged the police chief to provide adequate security in Dal Bazar, Chawal Bazar, Wait Ganj, Bajwa Nagar, Tilak Nagar, Hazuri Road, Modhopuri and other areas as customers carrying cash were vulnerable to robbers
waylaying them. Poor tracking of criminals Neither do we get any information nor have we any data about the criminals lodged in jails. They come out from jails on bail or after being released, but we know nothing about their activities. Had there been any coordination between the jail authorities and the police, the rising crime graph could have been brought down by keeping a track of
criminals. A police official

Solid waste management for city
A fresh agreement between the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation and the company, A2Z Waste Management Ludhiana Ltd, will be signed next week and after that, the work will start. Ever since the company officials started their operations of door-to-door collection of garbage from homes in the city from August 15, they were facing tough resistance from thousands of private garbage collectors operating in the city. That is why, the company could not start its operations properly and was collecting garbage from only few areas. Later, in protest, thousands of safai karamcharis and private garbage collectors had gone on strike across the state from October 4-9. After getting an assurance, the strike ended and later, at a meeting with Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh, Local Bodies Minister Tikshan Sud and other government officials, it was decided that A2Z Waste Management Ludhiana Ltd would lift garbage only from the garbage-collection points and from garbage bins of the MC. A senior MC official said after the meeting with the government, it was decided that the private garbage collectors would continue lifting garbage from houses and other commercial establishments. “So the company would now be involved in secondary collection and not primary collection, which is door-to-door collection of solid waste from homes and commercial establishments. The earlier contract with A2Z Waste Management Ludhiana Ltd was for primary collection and that is why, before the company restarted its operations, some clauses in the contract had to be altered,” said the official. MC Commissioner AK Sinha said Rajnish Mehra, MD and CEO, A2Z Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, accompanied by other company officials and the consultancy firm, met him today. “We discussed the project and hopefully a fresh contract with the company would be signed by next week. And once the contract is signed, the company would start its operations,” informed
Sinha. Tasked with secondary collection The company would now be involved in secondary collection and not primary collection, which is door-to-door collection of solid waste from homes and commercial establishments. The earlier contract with A2Z Waste Management Ludhiana Ltd was for primary
collection. |

Major fire at factory in Industrial Area
Ludhiana, November 22 By the time the fire brigade arrived at the scene, the fire had engulfed the premises of the factory (No. 65 B). According to sources, the owner of the factory was not at the scene when the incident happened. Since hosiery waste is highly inflammable, everything turned into ashes within minutes. The exact loss could not be ascertained till the filing of the report. No casualty was, however, reported. Kartar Singh, ADFO, said he was going to the scene to take stock of the firefighting operation. “At this stage, we cannot say anything in terms of financial losses,” he added. Cause unknown
The fire occured in a unit dealing with hosiery waste which is highly inflammable. Everything was reduced to ashes in a matter of minutes. |

Vet varsity, PAU playground for stray dogs
“Animal flesh is always the hot choice of stray dogs, so these dogs get attracted towards poultry farms and livestock post-mortem house in GADVASU campus,” said an employee of GADVASU. “Once an official took the initiative to make the campus dog free but he did not get success. We caught the dogs, throw them outside the campus, but every time they come back,” revealed another employee. Meanwhile, estate official Jaskarn Singh, PAU, said, “Not only the university, villages and cities are also facing the same problem by missing a consistent sterilisation drive. We have limited powers, so we cannot do anything by law.” “Sterilisation of dogs is the only solution. We will discuss the issue with veterinary university departments and will take an appropriate action,” said SP Sangha, estate official of GADVASU. |
5 plots yield GLADA Rs 5.10 cr in auction
Ludhiana, November 22 On offer were 23 residential plots, including 15 measuring 300 sq yd each and the rest measuring 400 sq yd each, in the prime residential colony. As compared to some of the earlier occasions when residential plots and commercial sites proposed to be put under the hammer by GLADA failed to attract buyers, and the auction proceedings had to be called off, the sale of these residential plots, that too at a handsome premium (the highest bid being 48 per cent above the reserve price), has brought back cheer to the faces of the GLADA officials. According to the GLADA additional chief administrator Jaswant Singh and estate officer Jeet Ram, who conducted the auction, 14 bidders had turned up at the public auction, indicative of a slight turnaround in the real estate market. Of the five plots that went under the hammer, the highest bid (Rs 36,500 per sq yd with a premium of 48 per cent) was offered for plot No. 3959, followed by Rs 34,700 (premium of 41.05 per cent) for plot No. 1526, Rs 34,100 (premium of 38.6 per cent) for plot No. 1534 and Rs 28,000 (premium of 13.8 per cent) per sq yd for plot No. 1556. All plots, measuring 300 sq yd each, were carrying a reserve price of Rs 24,600 per sq yd. That there were few takers for the residential plots with bigger area was evident from the very low bids received for the sole plot with an area of 400 sq yd, which went for Rs 27,600 per sq yd against a reserve price of Rs 27,060 (10 per cent extra for being a corner plot) yielding a premium of just about 1.99 per cent. While GLADA officials appeared confident that the offers proposed to made in the future for sale of residential plots and commercial sites would evoke a better response and there would be no repeat of some of the public auctions that turned out to be a fiasco, the sources in the real estate market maintained that the reserve price of the residential plots offered for sale today were relatively high in comparison to the prevailing market rates in the area. “Plots on resale are available in the open market for Rs 30,000 per sq yd and deals are being struck at this price level on a regular basis. Those purchasing plots in the open market also have an added advantage of under-valuation of the property for the purpose of registration of sale deed, which is not possible in the case of property purchased in the open auction conducted by GLADA,” said a property adviser, saying it was
the major reason for the lukewarm response to the auctions conducted by GLADA for sale of properties. Bloated reserve price Realtors maintain that the reserve price of the residential plots offered for sale today are relatively high in comparison to the prevailing market rates in the area

Open discharge of sewage miffs residents
Doraha, November 22 The accumulation of sewage is not only causing inconvenience to the residents but also posing a health hazard. “Authorities seems to be least bothered about the accumulation of sewage, which has also inundated an adjoining road, posing problems for motorists,” residents lament. “The inauguration of the sewerage project should have been treated as a matter of priority. If the project is delayed further, we will have to continue to live in appalling conditions,” says Pawan Kumar Kaushal, a local resident. “It is up to the municipal council to get the project up and running at the earliest so that sewage doesn’t inundate streets and even houses,” says Inderjit Singh, another resident. Lambasting the state government for its failure to mitigate their suffering, Jagjiwan Pal Singh Gill, another resident, says: “Even the sangat darshan programme by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has failed to provide any solution to the problem. Despite repeated pleas, our demands have remained unfulfilled. If, at this juncture, the council backs out from its promise of undertaking the sewerage project, all hell will break loose for the residents.” Sudarshan Sharma, former president, municipal council, says: “Lack of planning for disposing of sewage and waste has been the biggest hurdle. Open discharge of sewage has aggravated the problems of the residents. The municipal council has failed to find any concrete solution to problem.” “The waste is being discharged into open spaces without realising its repercussions. In the rainy season, dirty water inundates streets,” says Harjiwan Pal Singh Gill, a resident. “The problem is going to get worse, as due to the widening of the road along the canal, the drain carrying partial sewage along the canal has narrowed down,” fears another resident. The executive officer of the municipal council says: “The project is in the hands of GLADA and they know the exact status of the project. The deputy chief minister will shortly lay the foundation stone of the water treatment plant for which four sites have been finalised. While two of these sites, located at Doraha village and Satnam Nagar, have been approved, the other two, on the Jaipura road and Arraichan road, are yet to get the official nod,” says MC president Inderjit Singh Kala.

Stray cattle menace hits villages, too
Mandi Ahmedgarh, November 22 Claiming that a large number of stray cattle have been accommodated at Shree Radha Krishan Gaushala at Kaind village, Bimal Kumar Sharma, chairman of the organisation, has appealed to the owners of dairy farms to not abandon old and useless cattle. Farmers led by Pritam Singh, sarpanch of Assi Kalan, Baldev Singh Latala and Sikandar Singh Jartoli allege that herds of stray animals, including old cows and oxen, have been destroying crops standing in their fields. This has resulted in a situation where farmers have to depute extra labour to prevent these animals from entering their fields. Asserting that Malwa was one of the worst affected regions, farmers say crops cannot be saved unless the government takes organised steps to check wandering of stray animals. As sentiments of members of a particular community are associated with cattle, farmers abstain from using force to save their crops from stray cattle. They have urged the owners of gaushalas to take care of the cattle. The rest of the wild animals will be taken care of by government agencies, they add. Claiming that they have been donating fodder to gaushalas of the region, the farmers have offered help in case of need.

Snarl-ups a norm on Lajpat Rai Road
Jagraon, November 22 The problem is not new to the residents of the area. Things are set to get worse in the coming days when a large number of NRIs and their families visit the town for shopping. The road get packed with haphazardly parked vehicles, thereby obstructing the traffic. One of the main reasons behind the chaos is the haphazard parking of vehicles by visitors. Most visitors to the market on the road come from surrounding villages and the problem gets out of hand when they park their vehicles, including trailers, Jeeps, cars, etc. on the road. Though the traffic police has tried to control the situation by taking strict action against violators, there has been little improvement. The police has been issuing challans to violators parking their vehicles haphazardly on the road in the recent months. However, this has had little effect on people who refuse to mend their ways and continue to violate the traffic rules. Visitors site lack of parking space in the town as the reason for frequent traffic jams. “Due to the lack of parking space, visitors have no option but to park their vehicles along the roadside, thereby obstructing smooth flow of traffic. Traffic jams are widespread on the stretch between Kamal Chowk and Old Grain Market Chowk,” says Ravinder Saggu, a shopkeeper on the Lajpat Rai Road. Besides, encroachment by shopkeepers on both sides of the road has compounded the situation. A large number of shopkeepers put up their products on display along the roadside, narrowing down the road further. The police has been appealing to the shopkeepers to remove the encroachment but to no avail. Moreover, municipal council officials as well as councillors do not bother to act against the encroachers. Councillors often come to the rescue of such shopkeepers when officials initiate action against them for encroachment. A number of important offices, including head post office, telephone exchange, State Bank of India, Central Bank of Indian, Punjab and Sindh Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, Canara Bank, and some schools are located on the road and thousands of people visit these every day. However, there is no proper parking space, leaving visitors with no option but to park their vehicles along the roadsides. Jagraon traffic police in-charge Gurcharan Singh blames encroachment by shopkeepers and haphazard parking by visitors for the chaos. “We have warned people a number of times and even challaned the offenders in the past but there is little change in their attitude. They keep parking their vehicles the wrong way, which is one of the main reasons behind traffic jams,” he says. MC president Baldev Krishan Dhir says: “We have launched a number of anti-encroachment drives in the past and even impounded goods put on display by shopkeepers but things are back to square one within a few days.”

Keeping skin ailments at bay
Ludhiana, November 22 “Once the cold days and nights of winter set in, our skin needs care. Since the skin is stripped of its natural oils in the winter, due to harsh weather outside and indoor heating, it is even more important to use winter protection for skin. This lack of natural oils and moisture makes the skin more susceptible to many skin diseases.” The first step is to take lukewarm water showers rather than hot water for bathing. After every bath, preferably within 2-3 minutes, apply a good quality moisturiser to keep the body’s natural oil sealed inside. Add a few drops of oil to the water used for bath, said Dr Aggarwal. The skin expert also advised the students to consume a healthy diet mainly of fruit and vegetables and drink a lot of water to maintain the natural glow of the skin. “Winters also bring the worst out of our lips, which need immediate attention. Use a highly moisturising lip balm. Apply an exfoliating and humidifying cream to your feet,” she advised. Around 300 students participated in the workshop. Do’s and don’ts

Night shelter serves little purpose for homeless
Jagraon, November 22 The MC had converted Shaheed Bhagat Singh community hall situated on the Raikot road into the night shelter last year with the aim of providing roof to the homeless, but there is not a single person who stays at the shelter. According to records of the MC, at present there are about 10 homeless persons in the town and the MC has provided night shelter to them. The records also maintain that besides offering shelter to these persons, the MC also provides other free of cost facilities, including blankets, food, etc, to them. But during a visit to the night shelter, it was found that the main gate of the shelter was locked. Besides, there was not even a single person present at the shelter. Moreover, heaps of garbage was lying in front of the locked gate, which clearly shows that the shelter has not been opened for long. Instead most of the homeless persons were seen spending their nights in the open at railway station, near bus stand, on the roadsides and other vacant public places. Interestingly, where the MC records put the number of homeless persons in the town to 10, the investigation carried out by the Tribune revealed that there were at least 50 persons who spend their nights in the open. “I have been staying here for the past two months but nobody ever informed me about the arrangement of a night shelter in the town for the homeless,” said Shankar, a migrant rickshaw puller, who spends his nights in front of a shop outside the railway station. However, it raises serious concern over the working of MC authorities. Either council officials have failed to make these persons aware about the facility of the night shelter or they do not want to do this for the reasons best known to them. According to sources, this scheme is costing high to the government, but serving, too, little for the homeless. When contacted, MC president Baldev Krishan Dhir claimed that the MC has provided a night shelter for the homeless. When asked how many homeless reside there, he failed to reply and said he had to check the record to tell the actual number of people living in the night shelter.

MC joins hands with beauty company
Ludhiana, November 22 A contract for the same was signed between the company and MC today and these girls would be absorbed under the Swarn Jayanti Shehri Rozgar Yojna, wherein the government will send shortlisted candidates from the BPL category to the company. Confirming this development, MC Commissioner AK Sinha said the selected girls would be trained at the company’s office located in Ghumar Mandi here. “After completing this two-month course, the girls would get a certificate from the company, with the help of which they can start their own business. Besides, the company has also agreed to help these girls in finding suitable jobs. This course would make the girls financially independent and would also help them support their families,” said Sinha. The girls, who can apply for this course should be in the age group of 15-35 years and should have passed class VIII. “The course in which the girls would be trained otherwise costs Rs 10,000, but as the company is in contract with the MC, this course would be free of cost. Every batch would consist 40 students and once this group completes the training, another group would be sent for training. There are around 5,000 families in the city which fall in the BPL category and I have already asked all councillors and MC officials to make a list of such prospective girls, who could be trained,” said Sinha. If any city resident wants to avail this facility, he can contact MC Joint Commissioner AS Sekhon, who has been made in charge for this project. A contract has been signed between the beauty company and MC today and girls belonging to the BPL category would be absorbed under the Swarn Jayanti Shehri Rozgar Yojna, wherein the government will send shortlisted candidates to the company. Confirming this development, MC Commissioner AK Sinha said the selected girls would be trained at the company’s office located in Ghumar Mandi

fund exemption
Ludhiana, November 22 The schools are helpless as they do not have funds to meet the expenses incurred in shape of electricity, telephone, newspaper bills, salaries of part-time sweepers and watchmen, or sundry items like official stationery and examination sheets. Earlier, the schools used to charge PTA fund, amalgamated funds, sports fund to meet the official, stationery, electricity and other recurring expenses. In the absence of funds, government middle schools are suffering the most, as the government has exempted students from paying all charges till class VIII under the RTE Act. “Education is not a priority with the government. Schools do not have any fund to meet the expenses. How will the school authorities maintain good standards? The government should issue grants for the infrastructure of schools,” said a teacher, seeking anonymity.
We have not yet received any instructions on the issue of grant from the higher authorities. Not a single school headmaster has so far approached me seeking additional funds. If someone has any difficulty, they can discuss it with
me Sudesh Bajaj, District Education Officer
