Fire safety not MC concern
Ludhiana, February 16 Even the offices of the Deputy Commissioner, the Police Commissioner and several other government offices have not obtained fire safety certificates from the fire brigade. These facts came to light when a city resident, Rohit Sabharwal, sought information under the Right to Information Act. The buildings without fire safety certificate include offices in Zone A, Zone B, Zone C and Zone D, Ludhiana Improvement Trust office in Feroze Gandhi Market, the Commissioner of Police's office, the Deputy Commissioner's office, the Civil Hospital, Sutlej Club, Lodhi Club, the office of Chief Engineer (Central), Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd, EPFO Office, near Bus Stand in Sham Nagar, the Excise and Sales Tax office in Feroze Gandhi Market, the Income Tax office in Rishi Nagar, the LIC building near the Clock Tower, the BSNL telephone exchange at Bharat Nagar Chowk, the telephone exchanges at Transport Nagar and Mata Rani Chowk and Guru Nanak Dev Stadium. The government offices, which have obtained fire safety certificates, are GLADA office on Ferozepur Road, ESI Model Hospital near Bharat Nagar Chowk, Punjab Pollution Control Board office and Bus Stand, Ludhiana. Rohit Sabharwal said it was sad that these government departments were playing with the residents' lives. “Leave aside making proper fire safety arrangements in their respective offices, they have not even bothered to apply or obtain fire safety certificates. Even the MC has not taken this certificate for its offices, when everyone knows that one of its own offices issues these certificates,” he added. The MC Commissioner, Rakesh Kumar Verma, said maintaining adequate fire safety arrangements in the MC offices was certainly his priority. “I have also asked my staff to conduct a fire audit in all the buildings of the city.” GOVT OFFICES WITHOUT FIRE SAFETY CERTIFICATES
Notices to Sarabha Nagar shopkeepers
The Fire Department on Saturday issued notices to shopkeepers of the Sarabha Nagar main market, who have not obtained fire safety certificates. Being one of the most prominent markets of the city, a large number of people visit the market everyday.

No paid parking at Children's Traffic Park in Model Town for time being
Ludhiana, February 16 When the contract of the parking lot was awarded to the contract for six months for Rs 45 lakh, the "shifted" Suvidha Centre was a part of that particular contract. And now when it has been shifted to the Model Town Area, the contractor felt that he would suffer losses as about 200-300 people now parked their vehicles at the Suvidha Centre, Model Town. Talking to The Tribune, Deputy Commissioner Rahul Tiwari said a letter was sent to the Municipal Corporation by his office, stating that since the Suvidha Centre was a part of the Mini-Secretariat about a month ago and it came under the parking contract, and now when it has been shifted to Model Town for residents' convenience, its parking contract should be given to the same contractor. "At the same time, in the particular letter, it was also mentioned that if the authorities had any objection to the issue, they must explain it. But nobody raised any objection. Since it was a part of the whole parking contract at the Mini-Secretariat, we allowed the contractor to issue parking slips there as his claim was right," said the Deputy Commissioner. When he was apprised of the fact that the contractor was reportedly "illegally" parking vehicles on the main public road, Tiwari said if it was the case, he would conduct an enquiry into it. "If anything is being done in an illegal manner, we will take action against the contractor," said the DC, adding that ever since he came to know that Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria had raised an objection to the parking lot, he had asked the contractor to stop charging parking fee immediately till the things were cleared. Recently, the Mayor had objected to this "illegal" parking and said the municipal authorities had not authorised anyone to issue parking slips at the park. |

Crumbling towers of Health
Department
Ludhiana, February 16 The Assistant Civil Surgeon, Ludhiana, Dr Kaushal Singh Saini, said: "These towers were installed to convey important messages related to health care to Primary Health Centres and Community Health Centres.? It is surprising that these are rarely used in the state for the very purpose. With the passage of time these are rusting and collapsing. Only a few days ago, one such tower installed at the Civil Surgeon's office here collapsed. A retired officer of the Health Department said:?"I have worked in the peripheral areas in the 90s but we never received any such message through the wireless system. We always received circulars of the Health Department by post". ? An employee said: "Nobody used the wireless system for conveying messages as no employee was given proper training on how to use it".? The Civil Surgeon, Ludhiana, Dr Subhash Batta, said: "The tower installed here was not in use. With the passage of time it rusted and collapsed".

Traffic goes haywire in rain
Mandi Ahmedgarh, Feb 16 Maintaining that no major disruption had been caused in the region, divisional traffic manager claimed that Dhuri bound train had been stopped between Ludhiana and Gill stations when members of gang responsible for maintenance of the track were busy in tightening fixtures and fish plates in the morning. Observations revealed that the showers during last night had hit vehicular traffic in the area during morning hours today. Erosion of berms of road between Jagera-Karamsar, Jandali-Kalyan Bridge, Damdama Sahib Gurdwara-Micro Hydel Plant and local Jandali road resulted in deceleration of traffic drivers of vehicles coming from opposite sides preferred to drive in middle of road. Dhulkot road, Lohatbaddi Road, Dehlon-Majri road, Kalakh road, Dehliz road, Baurhai Road and Kanganwal road were among link road where vehicles remained stranded for long times. Acknowledging the observations, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Gill Gurpreet Singh Sikand, said he had advised beat officers at all the police stations to ensure that vehicle stranded due to rain and technical snags were removed to prevent any untoward incident due to obstruction. Employees posted at local town and surrounding localities who commute between Ludhiana and Ahmedgarh were worst affected as the Dhuri bound train that left Ludhiana railway station at about 9.30 am, remained stranded for over 20 minute before reaching Gill railway station. Viney Kumar Verma, a resident of Mullanpur, said he and his co-passengers were shocked when the train halted suddenly between Ludhiana and Gill stations shortly after it starting journey. They, later, came to know that members of team of track examiners had observed loosening of fixtures probably due to rain. "Though the authorities had initiated remedial steps immediately, the passengers had to wait for at least twenty minutes," said Verma adding the authorities had not allowed to people

Police Control Room helpline flooded with pointless calls
Ludhiana, February 16 "Recently, it has been observed that residents make useless calls at the Police Control Room. We are looking into the issue. The helpline 100 was launched to help the residents in emergency. I appeal to the residents that avoid making unnecessary calls," said Commissioner of Police, Ishwar Singh. Rattled mothers-in-law and daughter-in-laws also frequently call at helpline 100 and seek police assistance following their petty argument. "In majority of the case we resolve the issue by counseling the women, while certain cases are referred to women cell," said a cop deployed at control room. He said majority of the useless calls were recorded during late nights. "Recently, a drunkard lost his way home while returning from a wedding. He called at helpline 100 and asked for directions. He could not tell his present location. What we could do to help him," said the police officer. The 40-year-old woman, identified as Sunita, a native of Napal, who was presently residing at Daba area, called at the police control room and stated that her life was in danger. Soon after receiving the information, the police swooped in to action and read the house of Sunita. They tried to contact her but she did not take the call. Finally, the police along with the area residents enter the house of woman and were shocked to find her drunkard. It was found out that Sunita had played prank on the police. It was not the first time she had played hide-and-seek with the police. Earlier, too, she used to call on helpline 100 and harass the police. She was booked for hooliganism. Depressed people among callers
Residents suffering from depression also call at helpline 100 frequently. They concoct stories and seek the help of the police. When the police reach the house for assistance they are told about the person condition. This also results in a waste of time and energy.

Residents of Landa street cry foul
Doraha, February 16 “It may be the case in other villages as well but we feel that in this particular village the party politics is playing its ignoble role in a very vicious manner. The reason being that all other streets in the village have been rectified but for one and this being mainly due to the clash between interests of two political parties. What if most of the villagers of this side belong to the party other than the ruling one, does it mean that they should be left in the lurch? We have been told that the panchayat is facing paucity of funds but how come that every other developmental work in the village is being carried out non-stop but this particular street is over looked every time,” rued Harjinder Singh, whose house is on this side of the street. “It is the step motherly treatment that is being meted out to us for the past number of years. How many times have I approached the sarpanch of the village and how many times have the panchayat secretary been contacted, I even fail to count but we just know that I life has been reduced to a mere hell due to this muddy street,” he added. “Not only this, the condition of the road, with the passage of time, has deteriorated to the extent that it has developed deep ditches. Resultantly, the water, which stays collected in theses ditches for days together even after a small shower, proves terrible for the passers-by. It has lately stared finding way into the nearby houses, the occupants of which, are busy taking it out every now and then,” complained another villager residing in the same street. “The street is taking a heavy toll of villagers especially in the rainy days when the wet slippery clay mud spreads all around on the road allowed for passage and plays havoc .The condition of the street is such that many a times the passers-by are caught unawares and are hurt by accidentally falling in one such ditch,” was another residents’ reply. Panchayat secretary Kamal Bharti, “The work is pending due to the insufficiency of funds. We have written to the authorities regarding this but unless and until the funds are released, we are helpless. But as soon as we receive the same, we shall do it on the basis of priority.”

Miscreants make merry at deserted Octroi post
Ludhiana, February 16
There is every possibility that the rooms of this Octroi post are being used by anti-social elements. Not only the two rooms of this Octroi post, but even two illegal encroachments near this place have failed to catch the fancy of Ludhiana Municipal Corporation. One of them is a Dhaba while the other is a religious place, which is slowly coming up near the Octroi Post for past few months. The MC officials have failed to take any action against it. The Octroi in the state was abolished in the year 2005 and ever since, all Octroi posts on the city roads are lying unattended. Some of such Octroi posts have been demolished or rented out by the civic body, while this Octroi post has been lying unattended by the MC. A visit by The Tribune team to the Octroi post revealed that the two rooms are in an utter state of neglect. An area resident said, “Two rooms of the Octroi post are being used by anti-social elements for all kind of wrong things. People consume drugs here. Few persons also bring women here at night because these rooms are open 24X7. “ Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria said, “This is a serious matter. If anything wrong is going on in these rooms, we will either demolish them or will rent them out. As far as the encroachments are concerned, I will personally visit the area and make sure they are removed.”

Pensioners resent lack of super specialist doctors in railway hospital
Ludhiana, February 16 In a memorandum submitted to the Chief Medical Director Health, Northern Railway, New Delhi, the Northern Railway Pensioners Welfare Association chairman Sher Singh has termed it as most unfortunate
that the railway headquarters (at New Delhi) were, perhaps, unaware of the upgradation of the
hospital because of which no post graduate/super specialist doctors were appointed
as consultants at the hospital. He has asked the railway authorities to at least provide part-time specialist, physicians, surgeons and orthopaedic surgeons at the SDH for the benefit of railway pensioners and serving employees at Ludhiana. Sher Singh, while calling upon the railway authorities to ensure that comprehensive health and medical cover is available to the beneficiaries, demanded yearly medical check-up for the pensioners crossing the age of 70 years and for those above the age of 75 years. He said, “Some more diseases like viral fever and dengue to be added to the list of diseases for which OPD treatment will be made available to the pensioners at the SDH.” The chief of the pensioners' body, while drawing attention of the railways towards reports that the union government could earmark 5 per cent of the GDP for health sector, asked Union Railway Ministry to make a suitable allocation for the health and medical care of serving employees and
pensioners.

Ludhiana, February 16 She touched paint brush after a hiatus of long nine years after her marriage. “Always interested in art, I moved to Chandigarh after marriage. After going the family way, and bringing up my son, I finally found time about nine months back.

Experimenting with different media and various themes, her works have a variety. Even the traditional canvass is painted with glass colours.
