State info panel directs Kapur Hospital to implement RTI Act
Ludhiana, June 6 Taking up the complaint of Paramjit Singh, the State Information Commissioner, RI Singh, disagreed with the contention of the respondent hospital that the application filed by the complainant under the RTI Act was motivated because Paramjit Singh was an ex-employee of the hospital, who had been asked to vacate his hospital quarter and a charge sheet was also served upon him. “The RTI Act is very clear on this issue. The Section 6(2) clearly states that an applicant making request for information shall not be required to give any reason for seeking information. Relationship between and applicant and information provider is not relevant to the provisions of the RTI Act,” said the Info panel chief. The plea taken by the respondent that the hospital was providing health services to the poor people and being a charitable institution it was not subject to the RTI Act did not find favour with the SIC. In its orders, the Commission noted that even though the financial grants being provided by the Municipal Corporation and the Health and Family Welfare Department, Punjab, had been discontinued. The hospital was operating on valuable government land which was given to it on a nominal lease amount since 1950 and the lease period had also expired in 1980. “Allotment of land at a throw away price to the respondent institution certainly amounts to substantial financial assistance,” saidthe Commission while ruling that the hospital is a public authority within the meaning of section 2(h) (d) (ii) of the RTI Act. Parting with the orders, the Commissioner directed the respondent (Kapur Hospital) to implement the RTI Act and also address the RTI application of the complainant Paramjit Singh within 15 days of the order in accordance with the provisions of the RTI Act. |

gadvasu notes
Ludhiana, June 6 She said poultry birds do not have sweat glands and have thick cover of feathers. During summers, the birds consume less feed and more water due to which their growth rate, egg production, egg shell quality and hatchability are all adversely affected and mortality is high. Disease incidence in the flocks also increases because of wet litter, immunosuppression, vaccination failures and contamination of drinking water. Dr Saini said there should be a grass cover on the grounds surrounding the poultry house which will reduce the reflection of sunlight into the house. Vegetation should be kept trimmed to avoid blocking air movement and to help reduce rodent problems. Shady trees should be located where they do not restrict the air movement. Keep a reliable, clean, cool source of water available to help the birds cope with high temperatures. As the birds excrete electrolytes during periods of heat stress, the same can be added to the drinking water to replace those that are lost and to stimulate water consumption. The number of waterers and frequency of watering should be increased in summer months. While purchasing the new stock the time of purchase should be adjusted in such a way that the productive stage should not come during acute summer months. Before the onset of summer season the unproductive and weak birds should be removed and stocking density should be reduced. During summer season, nutrient intake by the birds should be increased by increasing nutrient density, feeding birds during colder part of the day and adjust ventilation fans to provide more cooling during the evening. |

We had provided our buses for two days. For one day, the government was to give Rs 4,500 for the district buses and Rs 3,000 for the mini buses. Some of the bus operators were even reluctant to give their vehicles but they had no option but to bow down to the pressure of the department. At least the payment should be made on time,” said
Grewal. He said the payments for the Municipal Corporation elections were made by the government after six months. Anil Garg, District Transport Officer, said: “We have not got the payments so far by the State Election Commission. Whenever we get the payment, we will

Tax professional Jatinder Khurana said: “Many people are facing difficulties due to this. The department should update its instructions and include Aadhaar card as a proof of identity or address.
