Industrial park project launched
Amritsar, February 15 The Rs 300-crore project jointly owned by Penguin Buildtech Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alpha G:Corp, and Veer Colonisers and Builders Private Limited has already received regulatory approvals in terms of change of land use as well as the master plan. While launching the project on the Mehta Road, 900 m from the National Highway No. 1 (NH1) opposite the existing Focal Point, Anil Joshi, Minister of Industries, Commerce, Industrial Training and Technical Education, said: “Model Industrial Park, Amritsar, will catapult the pace of industrialisation and employment in the state and especially in the border district of Amritsar. The project will be a boon for small and medium-scale industrial enterprises that aspire for high-quality industrial infrastructure for operational efficiency and growth." “The efforts of developers such as Alpha G:Corp and Veer Colonisers in Gujarat and Punjab have supported creation of employment and the strengthening of the economy of these regions. The Model Industrial Park, Amritsar, is set to create approximately 5,000 direct jobs in the Amritsar region,” said Joshi. Spread over an area of 147 acres, this mega park will be the first-of-its-kind in the state to accommodate units of red, green as well as orange category industries. The flexibility to accommodate industries with varying demands along with infrastructure to support the most hi-tech and energy intensive industries makes the park a distinct proposition not only for Amritsar city but the entire state. SK Sayal, Director and CEO, Alpha G:Corp Development Private Limited, said: “We are glad to be contributing to the industrial growth of the state by promoting this project that seeks to provide quality infrastructure to various industries. I am sure that the park will provide impetus to industrial growth and will act as a springboard for creation of new jobs.” The mega project will feature crucial infrastructure like a common effluent treatment plant to treat industrial waste. Tree-lined and symmetrically constructed roads with blinkers and traffic lights will make navigation through the project easier. To mitigate any impact on the surrounding environment, the industrial park will also feature ample green cover. Proper parking spaces, both for public and commercial vehicles, provision for power stations, rainwater harvesting, firefighting arrangements, an industrial canteen and a recreation centre will be integral features of the park. Subhash Chand Sharma, Managing Director, Veer Colonisers and Builders Private Limited, said it would go a long way in
giving impetus to Amritsar’s and Punjab’s industrial sector.” Maintaining high standards of quality and timely delivery, Alpha G:Corp has successfully delivered two developments in Amritsar that include AlphaOne, a lifestyle and entertainment destination of Punjab and Alpha International City, Amritsar, a world-class residential project worth Rs 650 crore, which was launched successfully by Alpha G:Corp in 2010-2011.

Neha Saini Tribune News Service
Amritsar, February 15 Just returned after finishing an assignment for the National Police Academy, Hyderabad, Sumeet shares how he made turned the academy that trains the future bureaucrats of the country into an artist’s playground. “I was called to design and create a photo gallery at the National Police Academy, established in 1948 and a premier institution in India, to train IPS officers of the country. I made two murals, size 25ft x 10ft each, designed as a facade of the main building. The mural depicts various outdoor training activities and sports such as horse riding, weightlifting, swimming, athletics and football,” he says. “Abstract colourful figures were created in relief through the use of hand-made ceramic tiles. The project took about six months to complete. Besides, I was asked to design a photo gallery for the academy, which houses rare photographs of eminent personalities like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Giani Zail Singh, who visited the academy during the passing-out parades of IPS trainees, along with photographs of indoor and outdoor activities of all batches of IPS trainees from 1948," he adds. Doing his research and making abstract fit in amidst hardcore red-tapist environment was not a cakewalk for him. But he turned moments clicked in the past an aesthetic design element. “The gallery is one of the highlights of the institutions’ legacy. With photographs of prominent IPS officers and IPS martyrs, who served the nation fighting terrorism in various parts in the country, they are pieces of its rich heritage and I wanted it to remain in focus. So, the designing of interior, lighting and display of photographs were all done in line with the thought. The rare photos were digitised and restored before putting up for display. Several portraits of martyrs were made in oil paintings for display in the gallery. Picture collage of recent photographs were digitally created and put up for display,” explains Dua, who specialise in the digital and graphic artist.Running his own studio, Creative Spot in Amritsar, Dua says its not just premier institutes but also private spaces that appreciate and have open up to abstract and modern art forms. “I have many private clients who want life-size murals or photo galleries designed as an integral part of the interiors for their home. Abstract art has become an important aesthetic and interior design element.” But it would take some time for artists in city to open and accept the new media in art. There is a market for it, but not many artists.”

‘Singh Vs Kaur’ gets thumbs up from fans
Amritsar, February 15 Produced by D Ramanaidu, the film has certainly put Gippy on the action front, smashing the baddies to the ground effortlessly (even with a touch). The simple formula that has provided success for the likes of Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan has done the same thing for Gippy Grewal. The story starts with a lie that Gippy’s character webs in and is followed by more lies, cover-ups, goof ups and dishum dishum. It’s no guess what kept the audiences hooked. "Gippy has done amazing action and his acting too has improved. This has been his film all the way, shares Maninder Kalra, a city-based businessman, who went for it first day first show. The Gippy Show definitely has been the film's selling point. "The rollicking romantic comedy about a rouge yet lovable desi Jatt and a modern Punjabi 'kudi' has impressed the audiences with its witty confrontations between the on-screen pair and entertaining pills of laughter provided by actors Jaswinder Bhalla. “This has been one of the best Punjabi films I have ever seen. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie, songs and everything and Gippy Grewal has given his best performance till date,” shares Sukhman Gill who took out her gang of friends to enjoy the film. Youngsters from nearby villages thronged the cinema halls in the city to catch the slick entertainer. Preetpal Singh from Wadali especially came to watch Gippy in action. “He will rule the Punjabi film industry after this movie. The film has good songs as well,” he said. Romit Kapoor another fan who came with his family to watch the film agrees, “It was a Gippy Grewal's show all the way. BN Sharma, Jaswinder Bhalla and Binnu Dhillon add to the entertainment. Also, the story and the locales add to the advantage of the film.”
