Residents of 100 villages go
without water in Tarn Taran
Tarn Taran, January 29 An amount of Rs 3.45 crore is due as bill. It has to be paid by the Irrigation and Public Health (IPH) Department to the Power Corporation. The residents of these villages are up in arms for the last several days and have been holding protests almost on a daily basis. But so far, their voices have fallen on deaf ears. Several social organisations, including Kisan Sangharsh Committee, Zamhoori Kisan Sabha and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Naujawan Sabha, have come out in support of the affected villagers. Though the residents of a few villages have themselves restored power supply to the water pumps, the rest have to purchase water from nearby towns. A resident of Patti, Major Singh, said they had no option but to buy water as the groundwater in their village was unfit for consumption. Initially, 200 villagers were affected but water supply to almost half of them was restored after the IPH Department made partial payment of the pending dues. Power Corporation Deputy Chief Engineer Jagjit Singh Suchu said Rs 4.3 crore was outstanding with different government departments. Of this amount, Rs 3.45 crore was pending with the Public Health Department in the district, he said. He said the IPH Department had deposited Rs 50 lakh as partial payment recently and the supply of more than 100 water pumps had been restored.

SAD leaders disrespected national anthem: Jakhar
Gurdaspur, January 29 SAD Ministers, a majority of whom flew in from New Delhi where they were canvassing for the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) elections, hurriedly left their respective functions as they had to fly back to the National Capital. Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, also the SAD president, had reportedly summoned a meeting of the party leaders at his Delhi residence at 7 pm on January 26, a day ahead of the gurdwara elections. The Leader of the Opposition in Punjab Assembly, Sunil Jakhar, claimed that the SAD Ministers ordered the Republic Day functions to be cut short so that they could reach Delhi on time. Moreover, these leaders had to touch down in Delhi between 12 pm and 2 pm, after which the aviation authorities had denied them the permission to land. Jakhar has asked Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to offer an apology to the nation for the “lapse”. In Gurdaspur, Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa allegedly forced the district administration to curtail the function so that he could drive to Rajasansi airport to be on board Revenue Minister Bikram Majithia’s plane, which later flew both of them to Delhi. Deputy Commissioner Dr Abhinav Trikha, however, denied any wrongdoing by Dhindsa. But, other senior officers confirmed that the Minister asked for the felicitation ceremony, which normally takes place at the fag end of the event, to be pre-poned. During such functions, the national anthem is sung twice: once at the beginning and the second time after the ceremony concludes. In this case, the Minister skipped the national anthem that was sung after the proceedings had ended. After presiding over the felicitation ceremony, he left the function midway, much before the cultural items by school students were presented. Parliamentary Secretaries Pawan Kumar Tinu, Des Raj Dhugga and Virsa Singh Valtoha also “fast forwarded” functions at their respective venues to ensure that they could land in Delhi before the 7 pm meeting. Jakhar said: “The SAD Ministers violated the constitutional norms by leaving their respective venues before the national anthem was to be sung.”

Shrinking Harike sees 30% less migratory birds
During a recently concluded survey, a total of 72,562 birds of 79 species were spotted. During the previous census in February 2011, around 1,00,124 birds of 73 species were counted. Besides, the census has spotted 87 terrestrial species The arrival of migratory birds is even lower than the 2010 census when 79,500 birds were counted. Divisional Forest Officer M Sudhakar said: “The count of birds was low as most of the high altitude water bodies were frozen. The count was also low at Nagal, Chandigarh and Noida”. He, however, said water pollution caused in the Sutlej by Budha Nullah might have deviated birds away from the main wetland. “Around 10,000-15,000 birds might have avoided the main wetland and chosen surrounding areas,” said Sudhakar. Encroachments on all sides of the 86 sq km sanctuary bordering Tarn Taran, Ferozepur and Kapurthala districts have also resulted in shrinking of the habitat for birds. Sudhakar said the shrinking habitat area might be another reason for the lesser count. He, however, added a count of 60,000 plus was considered normal for the Harike sanctuary. The falling count

Those with cancer symptoms to be examined
Chandigarh, January 29 The Health Department has identified 23,874 self-reported cases of cancer in the state even as 84,453 others have been identified as "suspect cases" following a three-month-long door- to-door campaign by paramedic staff and ASHA workers. Punjab Health Systems Resource Centre Executive Director Dr Pyare Lal Garg said that medical institutions in both rural and urban areas would be pressed into service to medically examine 80, 000 "suspect cases." There are 600 state medical institutions in rural areas and 250 subdivisional and civil hospitals in urban areas. Each institution has been given the target of examining 10 patients everday. Though this should not take more than a fortnight, the department has set a deadline of one month to complete the task. In cases where there is any ambiguity, further tests would be conducted at the district level and thereafter at medical colleges. This will take a maximum of three months. Meanwhile, sources said if the results of the pilot project conducted in Faridkot district was taken into consideration, the incidence of cancer among "suspect cases" would be very less. Earlier in Faridkot, of the 3,000 "suspect cases", only 11out of the 600 scanned till date have been found suffering from cancer. Malwa’s bane
The reasons for the high incidence of cancer in the Malwa region is still not clear. Muktsar has reported the highest incidence of cancer at 136 per lakh population, Mansa 134.8 per lakh and Bathinda 125.8 per lakh population. Dr Garg said unlike other arease, the Malwa region had a higher incidence of fly ash due to the presence of a number of thermal plants. He said the cotton crop in the area required more insecticides than other crops grown in other parts of the state. Also, tobacco chewing was more prevalent in the Malwa region. Another reason could be contamination of ground water. He said the situation had improved considerable with people now availing of canal water for drinking purposes. He said the entire Gidderbaha constituency had been covered by RO (reverse osmosis) plants which had also come up in villages. Step Two of programme

Moga, January 29 Kusumjit Kaur Sidhu, Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab, said as per the EC directions, she had sought a panel of officers from the Home Department so that a new SP could be appointed. Pannu was prematurely retired from service when he was Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Kotkapura, on July 27, 2011. But he was again taken back into service prior to the 2012 assembly elections and later promoted by the SAD-BJP regime. Congress nominee Vijay Sathi had demanded that Pannu be shifted out as he feared that the SAD-BJP Government could "misuse the officer to influence the electorate." Chandigarh: The counting of votes for the Moga byelection, that will be held on February 23, will be undertaken on February 28, say official sources. Nominations will be held on February 6.

Mann announces candidate
Moga: The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) has decided to field Navtej Singh Honey for the Moga byelection. Addressing a gathering here, president Simranjit Singh Mann said that former MLA Joginder Pal Jain was an opportunist who had not only betrayed the Congress but also done a grave injustice to the 62,000 people of the constituency who had elected him.
Recalling his association with the late Roop Lal Sathi, Mann said he was an honest man who spearheaded the Socialist movement in the state. But his son, Congress nominee Vijay Sathi, was a turncoat. "There is not difference between Jain and Sathi. They are two sides of the same coin," he claimed. — TNS

Mohinder killed his family to seek revenge
Ludhiana, January 29 The double murder had sent shock waves in Pratap Singh Wala village that's now well within the limits of the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation. “You cannot forget such incidents,” says a man coldly. Mohinder, who was sentenced to 12 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping his daughter and assaulting his wife, nursed deep hatred for his wife and daughter for six years. The hatred, it seems, culminated in the murders, he adds. However, most of the residents of Pratap Singh Wala clam up when it comes to revealing any information about the family. They are reluctant to discuss the case. Not many know that the Supreme Court has commuted the death sentence of the accused to life imprisonment. Some women of the locality, taking a high moral ground, share with The Tribune a rambling mix of pontification and insinuations. There are rumours that the daughter whom Mohinder had killed was his stepdaughter. It's hard to sift fact from hearsay. “Unhappy marital relation can ruin lives,” says a neighbour, revealing a latent sympathy for the accused. The family, it is learnt, has sold its 150-square-yard house. The son, we are told, stays somewhere near Shiv Puri in the city. He plies an autorickshaw for a living, says one of his classmates. Mohinder's other two daughters have been married off, while his sister lives in Nakodar. That's the only piece of information the neighbours volunteer to disclose readily, though no one from the family has authenticated it. It's sad that the family has to live with these unfortunate incidents, says the son's classmate. The family’s house that once saw tragic deaths today has become a makeshift centre for work related to Aadhar cards. (With inputs from Charanjit Singh

Drug addiction adding to TB cases
Faridkot, January 29 Patients with addiction problems are more contagious than those not using drugs. The epidemic tide of TB is not receding on expected lines, particularly in the district. Having about 6.18 lakh population, Faridkot reported 1,335 TB cases in 2012 against 1,315 in 2011. A study revealed that a large number of these patients were drug addicts, said Dr Mandeep Kaur Khangura, TB control programme officer. “We can’t treat TB in isolation. We have to bring in people who are experts in drug abuse problems so that we can help cure this disease and help end a chain of transmission,” she said.

India, Pak traders ink pact
Ludhiana, January 29 The pact was signed between Pakistan’s Central and North Punjab Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNPWCCI) and India’s Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertaking. Qaisra Sheikh, president, CNPWCCI, said: “Today's economies are not about war. A nation cannot survive amidst tension and warlike situation. Business is the first thing that suffers during war. Our presence here is a testimony to the fact that we want peace. Both the countries should have a positive attitude if they want to flourish”. She said: “People of both the countries share common language, dressing sense and life style. So exchange of commodities between both the countries makes economic sense. This is the main reason for our being here. India excels in handicrafts while Pakistan is doing well in fashion industry. Specialties from both the nations should be exchanged”.

Jailbreak: Govt decides to recruit 560 jail warders
Chandigarh, January 29 DS Bains, Home Secretary, said the recruitments will be made by March 15. "After a three- month training period, the recruits will join duty by June 15," he said. There have been jailbreak attempts by convicts and undertrials in all seven jails in the state. Information gathered under the RTI Act in 2012 revealed that 237 cellphones and 150 SIM cards were recovered from the state jails between 2009 and 2011. During the same period, the police recovered intoxicants, including tablets and capsules, and 5 kg of opium from at least 500 inmates. While the prisoners' strength increased considerably in the past few years, the jail staff strength remained the same. Bains said the number of convicts had increased to 25,000 from 18,000 in 2011. But the Department of Jails had not undertaken any significant recruitment during the past 15 years. The jail administration, at the moment, did not have an effective cadre at the top.The jails were being managed by officers stationed at the police headquarters. Bains said it had been decided to recruit as many as 26 Assistant Jail Superintendents and 16 Deputy Superintendents. Punjab, as of now, does not have adequate training facilities for more than 200 warders. Hence, it might seek the services of the Haryana Government. At receiving end

Patiala, January 29 "We have asked the Home Department to either replace these officers or ask them to join duty immediately," said Additional DGP (Jails) Raj Pal Meena. Minister for Jails Sarwan Singh Phillaur said he would look into the matter.

State’s financial health unsteady
Chandigarh, January 29 The real estate business in the state continues to be sluggish. The ban on illegal colonies has had an impact on revenue collection. Against the target of Rs 38,043.36 crore for the current fiscal, the collection till November 2012 was a mere Rs 1,7625.75 crore, a worrying trend. Besides stamp duty, another area of concern is grants-in-aid from the Centre. The Centre was to give aid to the tune of Rs 4,724.56 crore this fiscal year. However, till the end of December 2012, the state had received Rs 1,660 crore, only 33 per cent of the total targeted receipts. During the last fiscal year too the Centre had released only Rs 2,440.64 crore to the state against a target of Rs 4,327.78 crore. However, the state is likely to achieve its target as far as VAT collection is concerned. Against a target of Rs 1,4213 crore for the current fiscal, the state had collected Rs 10,620 crore by December-end. The state is not doing well as far as implementation of the Annual Plan is concerned. For the budgeted Plan expenditure of Rs 7,766 crore for the current fiscal year, only a sum of Rs 2,194 crore was released till the end of November, 2012. What is more worrisome is the fact that the state government’s substantial part of revenue goes into paying interest on loans taken from various sources. For the current fiscal year, the state government will pay Rs 6,662.08 crore as interest on loans and Rs 4,632 crore will be paid as power subsidy. The expenditure on general education will be Rs 6,251 crore, on the police Rs 3,203 crore and on pension and retirement benefits Rs 4,753 crore. The expenditure on hospitals and public health will be Rs 1,977.55 crore. The total projected revenue expenditure is Rs 41,166.67
crore.

Faridkot abduction and rape case
Faridkot, January 29 On January 16, Nishan had allegedly made threatening calls to the victim and her father against deposing against him in the court. Now, the police will question Nishan, who is facing trial for allegedly twice kidnapping and raping the minor, from where he procured the mobile phone inside the Faridkot Central Jail. The police had registered another case against him on January 17 after he allegedly made the threatening phone calls. It later found that the SIM card, which was used in the phone, was issued in the name of Suraj Kamboj of Fatehabad, Haryana. During questioning, Kamboj claimed that his identity card was misplaced on November 8 and that he had even lodged a complaint with the police. The questioning of Nishan may also land the jail officials in a difficult situation as they too would be answerable as to how the mobile phone reached inside the jail. The minor’s family and the members of the Action Committee, which was formed to secure justice for the victim, have already been accusing the jail officials of giving special treatment to the accused in the jail.

Over 1,500 poor families yet to get housing aid
Sangrur, January 29 The new list is being prepared by the district administration. BPL families are to get financial aid under the centrally sponsored scheme Indira Awas Yojna (IAY). The aid is to be given in the ratio of 80:20, with 80 per cent of the total grant to be spent on building pucca houses and 20 per cent to be spent on repairing the houses. A beneficiary is now provided Rs 45,000 to build a pucca house and gets Rs 15,000 to repair the house. In Sangrur district, the authorities had already given the grant to all 3,758 beneficiaries identified in 2006-07 and 2010-11 to be given aid for the construction of pucca houses. However, the authorities could not provide aid to the remaining 1,500 beneficiaries waiting to get aid to repair their houses. Sources said there were 2,954 BPL families in the waiting list of 2006-07 and 1,326 in 2010-11 that were to get aid to repair their houses. Of the total 4,280 BPL families, 2,780 had been given the aid, leaving 1,500 BPL families that are still to get the grant to repair their houses under the IAY.

42% water samples in Patiala
fail test
Patiala, January 29 The District Health and Family Department of Patiala had collected a total of 527 samples last year, out of which only 295 have been found fit for drinking and 214 non-potable. The report of the remaining 18 samples is still awaited. The data clearly indicates that the Local Bodies Department still has a long way to go before they can substantiate their claims of providing potable water to 100 per cent of the population. The situation is grave in schools. In private schools, out of 27 samples, as many as 11 samples (41 per cent) samples tested were found non-potable and in government schools, 36 per cent of the water samples were found to be unfit for drinking. To add to the woes of the Local Bodies Department, out of the 316 random samples collected from other places, including restaurants, marriage palaces, dhabas and tubewells, 43 per cent of the samples were found unfit for consumption. District Health Officer Dr Harish Malhotra said the health department had been regularly sending the reports of the water samples collected from various places to the authorities concerned to apprise them of the situation.

Khanna, January 29 Deputy Superintendent of Police (D) Ranbir Singh said CIA personnel, led by Randhir Singh, laid a naka near the local Telephone Exchange on the Amloh Road following a tip-off. They stopped and searched two motorcycle-borne youths and found them with fake currency notes worth Rs 70,000.
