new rail link Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, April 18 The Union Railway Minister, Pawan Bansal, will formally inaugurate the new rail link by flagging off 12241/12242 Chandigarh-Amritsar-Chandigarh superfast express train on the Chandigarh railway station at 5.30 pm tomorrow, which will run with slight changes in the existing time table. Railway officials said, the train would leave Amritsar at 5.20 am, reach Ludhiana at 7.15 am and after a five minute stoppage, would proceed further to reach Sahnewal at 7.40 am, Mohali at 8.34 am and finally Chandigarh at 9.05 am. On its return journey, the train will leave Chandigarh at 5.30 pm as against the existing time of 6.50 pm. It will reach Mohali at 5.42 pm, Sahnewal at 6.50 pm, Ludhiana at 7.05 pm, Jalandhar at 8.06 pm, Beas at 8.39 pm and arrive in Amritsar at 9.10 pm. With the train taking the new Ludhiana-Chandigarh route via Khamano and New Morinda, the existing stoppage at Sirhind will be discontinued from tomorrow. The daily passengers commuting from Amritsar and Jalandhar to Ludhiana and especially those travelling between Ludhiana and Chandigarh are upbeat about the new rail route becoming operational, which will also cut down the journey time between Ludhiana and Chandigarh by half-an-hour. "However, for those commuting between Ludhiana and Chandigarh, the train will serve half the purpose," said Harish Verma a daily commuter. He said the revised departure time from Chandigarh was a welcome move, as the train would now reach Ludhiana around 7 pm. "But for those coming to Ludhiana from Chandigarh in the morning, no such train is available and they will still have to travel by bus which takes more time and the journey is more expensive as compared to the train fare," he added. Several other daily passengers felt the need to extend the train service on the Chandigarh-Amritsar-Chandigarh section by providing a pair of trains so that both ways, the rail travel facility in the morning and evening was available on this route.

Civic body yet to recover
Rs 25 lakh house tax from 67 private schools
Ludhiana, April 18 Responding to an RTI application of Ravi Kumar, a resident of Dal Bazaar here, the APIO (house tax), Zone D, Ludhiana Municipal Corporation, said that Rs 25 lakhs was pending against 67 private schools under Zone-D. The private schools against which the house tax of Rs 1 lakh or more is pending include Kundan Vidya Mandir, Rajpura Road, (Rs 2,11,345), BCM Arya School (Rs 1,66,860), Guru Nanak Public School (Rs 1,02,870), Sacred Heart School (property number 3618/1) Rs 1,23,120, Guru Har Sahai Public School (Rs 1,10,970), DAV School (block 35, property 1/1) Rs 1,92,132. Apart from this, more than 36 other schools had to pay house tax of Rs 50,000 to the municipal corporation and the remaining are in the less than Rs 50,000 slab. Congress Councillor Parminder Mehta said that it was unfortunate that the municipal corporation had adopted a lenient approach towards these schools,as a majority of them were minting money by charging exorbitant admission, tuition fees and other charges. "A majority of the private schools under Zone D are posh schools, which can easily pay the taxes. Why isn’t the MC recovering these taxes? Only officials know. On the one hand, we are asking the common man to pay property tax, on the other, we are sparing those who can easily pay high taxes", said Mehta. |

Licence renewed, but fate still uncertain
Manav Mander Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, April 18 The conditions laid down for all the regional stock exchanges include an annual turnover of Rs 1,000 crore and a net worth of Rs 100 crore. VP Gaur, chairman of LSE, said, “At present only two options are left with the exchange; the first is to opt for a voluntary exit and the second is to go for the consolidation model of Calcutta Stock Exchange which meets both the conditions.” Ludhiana Stock Exchange has sent both these proposals to SEBI, he said. “Apart from Calcutta Stock Exchange we are also trying to enter into a pact with MCX-SX, which began operations as a stock exchange in February,” said Gaur. In the recent months, SEBI has allowed three stock exchanges to exit from the capital market. These are Hyderabad Stock Exchange, Coimbatore Stock Exchange and Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange. In a statement earlier this month, SEBI had said that four more exchanges had applied for exit, which included recognised stock exchanges that were not operational. The previous chairman of LSE, Padam Parkash Kansal, had resigned from his post after the conditions laid down by the SEBI did not go down well with him. After submitting his resignation Kansal had raised apprehensions about the future of LSE.

SHO siding with accused: rape victim
Ludhiana, April 18 The rape victim today met vice-chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, Raj Kumar Verka, and narrated the incident. Verka has sought action-taken report in three days and told the police to add sections under the Atrocities Act, so that she could be compensated. The accused identified as Mann Singh, sarpanch, Achar Singh, member, panchayat, Gurdev Singh, member, panchayat, and Gurmeet Singh were booked under Sections 376, 363 and 120- B of the IPC for kidnapping and raping a woman on April 9, after a DNA test confirmed that the woman was raped and gave birth to a girl child. Major Singh, a policeman, who was posted at Meharban police station when the rape incident took place, was also sent to the police lines for siding with the accused. While Mann Singh has reportedly fled to Canada, the other accused are roaming freely. Getting a case registered against Mann Singh from SAD was not a cakewalk for the 40-year-old woman. The woman ran from pillar to post for nearly 13 years to get the case registered. It was in 2000 that she first lodged a complaint with the Meharban police stating that the sarpanch's aides kidnapped her and took her to Mann's house where he raped her. The woman alleged that Mann Singh even made a video of the rape incident. Her repeated request fell on deaf ears of the Police Department. After getting no respite, she approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2010.Taking a cue from the paternity case of veteran Congress leader ND Tiwari and his son Rohit Shekhar, the Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered the Ludhiana Police Commissioner to take DNA samples of the sarpanch to establish the paternity of the 17-year-old girl. The DNA reports testified that the girl was the daughter of Mann Singh. Narrating the tale, she said, "I came in contact with the sarpanch 18 years ago. He was a self-styled godman then and had a considerable following. As I was childless, I used to visit various shrines seeking blessings for a child. One day Gurmeet Singh along with his accomplices came on an auto-rickshaw and kidnapped me. They took me to Mann Singh's house and raped me." She said that seeking justice was not an easy task as she was implicated in false cases at the behest of Mann Singh. |

The rules and regulations are as old as 1980s when just 400 documents were registered in one year. Now about 5000 mutation deeds are cleared by each patwari every year. The work-load has been increased tremendously but not the man-power". Besides, the patwaris said that the recent allegations of bribery against patwaris had added to their woes. "The public has started blackmailing us. They come with several documents and want us to provide them mutations on the spot which is not possible. If we tell them about our limitations, they start levelling allegations that we demand money to get their work done. Under so much pressure, it has become difficult to work", said Gurmel Singh and Satwinder Singh Virk, presidents of East and West patwar union here.

Three acres of standing wheat crop gutted near Jagraon
Jagraon, April 18 The incident came to light around 11 am when a villager returning from Sidhwan Bet saw plumes of smoke rising from the fields, following which he immediately informed others. As soon as the news of fire broke out, an announcement was made from the speaker of village gurdwara. Following this, a large number of villagers rushed to the spot and made every possible attempt to douse the fire. The fire had engulfed many fields by then, and by the time it was brought under control the wheat crop standing in these fields had already been destroyed. "The crop standing in the fields belonging to two farmers was gutted in the fire. We made every possible effort to douse the fire, but by the time it could be brought under control, it had already destroyed the crop spread over three acres of land. The fire could have caused much more damage if villagers had not taken a timely action,” said a villager, Sikhwinder Singh. The cause behind the fire has not yet been established, but sparking in the high-tension electricity wires crossing over the fields is believed to be the main reason. The villagers have demanded compensation from the state government for the farmers whose crop was damaged due to the fire.
