Fate of 21 flats in Rajiv Enclave hangs in balance
Ludhiana, August 27 In a representation submitted to the chairman of the Trust, the affected allottees, who were waiting to get possession of their flats for the last eight years, have stated that LIT had announced the construction of 162 HIG and super HIG flats in the housing scheme - Rajiv Enclave and allotment of flats was made in August 2005. "Even as the successful allottees were making payment towards the cost of the flats in half yearly installments, construction of 21 flats in the scheme was stopped due to some dispute over the possession of land between LIT and the Kabir House Building Society, and a stay order was issued by a local court," the affected allottees averred. Allottees said that when they protested that the flats were not being constructed while the half yearly installments were being collected from them, the LIT authorities deferred the payment from March 2007. Persistent efforts made by the allottees to know the fate of the flats allotted to them failed to evoke any response from LIT, which has been maintaining that an agreement had been arrived at with the Kabir Society to vacate the chunk of land earmarked for 21 flats in lieu of an alternate site. "However, the construction of flats is still to resume even after the Trust has floated fresh tenders and the work is also allotted to a construction agency," maintains one of the allottees. After waiting for several years to get possession of the flats, which stand allotted to them, the allottees have made a plea with the LIT authorities to either resume the construction of flats without any further delay, or else make allotment of alternate flats to them in any other scheme of the Trust in the city. The Trust Engineer, SS Jakhar, said that an agreement was signed between the Kabir Society and the Trust in December 2011 and the Trust had given its assent to all the conditions put forth by the functionaries of the society to get the land under possession of the society vacated. But somehow the agreement could not be implemented till date, he added. Both the Trust officials and functionaries of the society blame each other for backing out from the agreement, which could have led to an amicable settlement and provide a solution to the problem.

Protest to mark Teacher’s Day
Ludhiana, August 27 Talking to The Tribune, union president Savinderjit Kaur said teachers from all over Punjab had gathered at Chandigarh to protest against the “callous attitude” of the government. "We get paid only when the government puts in its share of 95 per cent. Managements of the aided schools put in only five per cent, so they can not provide the salaries unless the remaining 95 per cent share is added from the side of the government. Neither the government is releasing our salaries nor it is merging the aided schools with government schools for the benefit of students,” she said. The teachers said the state government will be organising state-level celebrations on Teachers' Day to honour the fraternity. During these celebrations, teachers of aided schools would protest wearing black badges at the function, they said. "Over 4,000 teachers and staff working in around 180 aided schools are being deprived of their salaries,” said the press secretary Devinder Rehan.
