First 24X7 food street on cards
Chandigarh, August 16 He said the overbridge would be functional within two months following which they would rent
out these shops as food outlets. MC Commissioner Vivek Pratap Singh said there was space for 40 booths on the ground floor. This round-the-clock food street would help the MC in reviving the Sector 17 Plaza and would also help increase the footfall in the northern part (Plaza extension) of the Sector 17 Plaza, he said. He said according to the proposal, in the morning and afternoon hours, there would be limited seating arrangements outside these shops. However, during night hours, they were planning to allow the shop owners to make good sitting arrangements outside their shops. As there were a number of parking lots in Sector 17, there would be no problem of parking, he said. A Sector 17 trader said the proposed food street would boost business in the Plaza extension. At present, visitors preferred to visit shops in the main Plaza and hardly visit this side.
Sector 17 facing competition from malls
With a number of malls, especially Elante Mall, having come up in the Industrial Area, the number of people visiting Sector 17 has seen a decline. The UT Administration and the MC are trying their best to revive the charm of Sector 17, the commercial hub of the city.
Proposal sent to Admn
The food street will function from the Plaza extension in Sector 17. The MC has sent a proposal to the UT Administration in this regard. Mayor Subhash Chawla, who spoke about this project in his Independence Day speech, said once the nod of the Administration was received, the project would be placed before the MC House.

Woman gets 44 stitches as dead tree falls on her
Chandigarh, August 16 Amarjeet's son Varinder Singh said his mother was standing on a road on the front side of their house when a dead tree fell on her during a thunderstorm. She was taken to the GMSH, Sector 16, where she received 44 stitches on her head and hand. He alleged that residents of the area had approached MC officials several times to cut this dead tree, but to no avail. MC Chief Engineer SS Bida said a proposal for axing dead trees in Sector 22-D was under consideration. Last year, the corporation, in consultation with the UT Forest Department, had sent a report to the UT Administration, recommending that 200 dead and 128 dangerous trees should be axed immediately as a majority of these were in residential areas and posed a threat to the lives and property of people.

No major project for city
Chandigarh, August 16 To ensure that Patil did not face embarrassment by repeating old achievements of his predecessors, the UT Administration did not include the list of achievements in Patil’s speech. The list of achievements, in the form of a booklet, was distributed among those present at the function. While releasing the list of achievements, UT officials included some old projects claiming that these were executed during the January 27-August 14 period. Sample this: In the list of achievements, the Administration has mentioned that the construction of the General Housing Scheme in Sector 63 is in full swing. However, the reality is that the project is already running behind schedule. The construction of 388 flats in one of the blocks is yet to start. Though the construction of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats is under way, the work pertaining to the laying of pipelines and power
cables has been delayed. Similarly, it was also mentioned that the night bus service had been started from the ISBT, Sector 43, to IT Park and from the PGI to IT Park. However, the same fact was mentioned in the list of achievements during the Independence Day function last year, which read, “The night bus service from the ISBT, Sector 43, to IT Park and from the PGI to IT Park has been started”. In the achievements, it was mentioned that the Prison Management System had been set up. The same fact was mentioned in in the list of achievements last year, which read, “The Prison Management System for maintaining the data of prisoners was launched recently”.
Patil's take on
parking problem
Patil once again expressed concern over the parking problem in the city. He said, “Residents should park their vehicles inside their houses. The traffic problem can be solved if people living in large houses park their vehicles on their premises or garage. The Administration feels that those who want to construct a garage in their house should be allowed to do so in the basement of the house." SDM conspicuous by her absence Following the SDM-DC controversy, while DC Mohammad Shayin and his PA Poonam Malik were present at the Independence Day function, SDM Amandeep Kaur, was conspicuous by her absence. She is on leave.

‘Azad brought
revolution’
Chandigarh, August 16 His
contemporary and friend Sushil Kapoor, a PCA offical, said he brought
revolution to the Indian cricket by producing several legendary
cricketers and the credit definitely goes to his values, he inherited
from his father and his Australian coach, O Brain, under whom he
underwent a formal training in early 1950’s. He said that for him
discipline was paramount. He did not allow anyone, including Kapil Dev,
to come late or without proper cricket kit. “This strictness of his
played a vital role in grooming cricketers who later on changed the
cricket scene in India,” he said. One of his other contemporaries,
Ashok Khanna, a senior selector for the Punjab Ranji team, said that he
was a fine gentleman and very good sportsman. As a coach, he attained
what nobody could. During his stint in early 70’s, he produced likes
of Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma, Yograj and several others for state teams,
which no other Daronacharya coach could so that so far. DP Azad came
as a cricket coach in Chandigarh in 1964 and many said it was a time
when the cricket in the city was not popular at all. He made the boys
practiced hard and pushed their selection for the Haryana team which was
developing at that time. Kapil Dev, Yograj, Chetan Sharma and Ashok
Malthotra all played for the country through Haryana and DP Azad had a
big contribution it. His contemporary, Chaman Lal Malothra, said he
was a fine coach who continued to produce good blowers and batsman for
India. Many feel that before 1970’s, this region existed nowhere in
terms of producing blowers and batsman for the national side. But from
Kapil Dev onwards, this region started getting recognition and DP Azad
had an important role in it. He headed a fast bowlers’ academy at
Cricket Stadium, Sector 16, from 1990 to 1998, which was joint venture
between the BCCI and Sports Authority of India. Till his last breath,
he held the post of Director, Non-Residential Cricket Academies at the
Punjab Cricket Association in Mohali. Cremation: DP Azad will
be cremated tomorrow at 11 pm in the Sector 25, cremation ground.

A close friend has gone; I owe him a lot: Kapil
Speaking to Chandigarh Tribune on the phone from Mumbai, he said Azad had a rare ability to spot and hone talent. He was a tough coach and used to put in a lot of effort to hone the cricketing skills of budding players. “I have lost a very close friend today. I owe him a lot. Whatever I have achieved in my life as a cricketer is all due to him,” he said, while recounting Azad’s contribution to his successful career. Despite being tough, he was a lovely person and had a positive approach towards life. He soon turned a dear friend. We used to discuss a lot of topics, including cricket and personal life. “I always used to address him as a young man since he always remained full of life. A month ago, I called him up and we shared light moments. His death is a personal loss for me, he said. Offering condolences to Azad's family members, Kapil said the legendary coach would always remain close to his heart. A disciplined coach,
says Chetan Sharma
Besides Kapil Dev, DP Azad groomed several Indian cricket stars, including Chetan Sharma, Yograj Singh and Ashok Malhotra. Recalling his association with Azad, former Indian cricketer Chetan Sharma said he was a disciplined coach. “I came to him for coaching at the age of seven. He was the one who taught me everything about cricket. Whatever I am today is only because of my beloved coach," he said. Describing his death as a personal loss, Chetan Sharma said in his death, the cricketing world had lost a dedicated coach.

A big loss for the cricketing world, says Azad’s friend
Chandigarh, August 16 Though he had not been feeling well for the past few months, the septuagenarian Dronacharya did not miss any chance to watch national and international ties in Chandigarh and Punjab Cricket Stadium at Mohali. On his health enquiry in a random meeting with this correspondent at the PCA Stadium, Mohali, during the recent IPL matches, he admitted that he was not well. When asked: “Sir, why don’t you take rest?, He replied: “Watching cricket match and roaming among cricketers is my medicine, son. “Hun marr ke hi aaram karanga” (Now I would take rest only after death).” Even at the age of 72 to 73, Azad opened a cricket academy for budding students at St Stephen’s School, Sector 45, about five years ago, where he used to spend his mornings and evenings in moulding the budding cricketers. “He was very strict when it came to cricket. He did not tolerate any nonsense or indiscipline on the field. For us (the cricketers), he was 7-in-1 as he was our massager, doctor, coach, manager, mentor, friend and guide. For us, he was a father-figure,” said Rakesh Jolly, a former Hayrana North Zone player, who was trainee of Azad with Kapil Dev and Yograj Singh. Azad’s close pal Captain Sushil Kapoor, who is presently a spokesperson of the PCA, claimed that Azad was the man behind bringing the Chandigarh’s name on international map in cricketing scenario. “He changed the cricketing scenario of the city by producing star players like Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma and Harbhajan Singh. Virtually, he ate cricket, drank cricket and lived cricket,” said Kapoor while remembering his old friend. His death is not only loss to Chandigarh but to world’s cricket,” said Kapoor.

Chandigarh, August 16 The power supply remained interrupted in first half of the day. Air-conditioners and exhaust fans were not working properly. The power supply could only be restored after 3 pm. Meanwhile, the cinemas and food courts were not hit by the snag. While the lobbies remained lit up, the major problem was witnessed inside the stores. “I was inside a trial room when the power went off. I had selected a few clothes but could not see anything for about 10 minutes. Later, one of workers arranged a torch for me. I then waited for a few minutes and paid the bill ,” said Amita, a shopper. “In such places if air-conditioner stops working, one may face suffocation. I felt uneasy in the dark,” said Mehak Singh, another shopper. While the lifts at the mall remained operational, the escalators did not work for the first half of the day. Even the parking lot was diverted towards the office parking area for about two hours in the morning. The mall is spending about Rs 3 lakh per day on the purchase of diesel to run power generator sets round the clock. The UT Administration is yet to provide power supply to the mall.
