Who let the cattle out?
Chandigarh, September 2 The letter reads: “It is to bring into your notice that the MC has recently launched a special drive for the removal of stray cattle from the municipal land in Chandigarh. During the drive, approximately 500 head of cattle have been impounded from various parts of the city. Now, some persons are making claim for the impounded cattle.” “The cattle owners allow the animals to roam freely on the municipal land and city roads. They (cattle owners) are earning profit by selling milk. Instead of making arrangements of their feed, they let the cattle loose to graze in public parks and municipal land. These stray cattle are causing public nuisance, creating unhygienic conditions and more particularly endangering the human life,” letter further reads. “In the recent past, it had been reported in the media that two precious human lives were lost in accidents involving stray cattle. In view of this, you are requested to initiate suitable action against persons as per list enclosed,” the letter reads.

Top cop fails to take criticism in his stride
Panchkula, September 2 Blaming it on media and reacting to sharp reports carried in newspapers that the survey was not proving fruitful to scare away robbers, Deswal has put the drive on hold today. The survey, ordered to identify vulnerable elderly couples, unverified servants and paying guests in HUDA sectors, had actually invited accolades from various quarters. A communiqué by the Commissioner today said: “The door-to-door survey of seeking information on vulnerable elderly couples, unverified servants and paying guests in HUDA Sectors of Panchkula was started about a week ago with good intentions of ascertaining dimension of ensuring public safety adopting a proactive and preemptive approach as would be indicated by the data so collected. Reports in a section of the media have indicated the public was being non-receptive to the survey.” It further stated: “Although the Commissioner of Police, the DCP and the SHOs in their daily interaction with the residents were informed by many well-meaning and socially conscious citizens of the value of this never-attempted survey, yet the survey was causing

inconvenience to the majority of residents and it would be called off. Though so far we have
surveyed about 1,000 houses, no resident had complained of anxiety or annoyance with the
campaign, we respect the projection in the media and put the survey on hold.” The public has, however, expressed shock over the drive. “We only wanted the police to sensitise the masses about the survey. They could have just inserted an advertisement asking the people to
cooperate,” said Tarsem Garg, president of the Residents’ Welfare Association of Sector 7,
Panchkula. Rakesh Sood, another resident, said: “The efforts of the Commissioner may be sincere, but he should check the ground reality. I am surprised that instead of taking the criticism in their stride and improvising, the police has backed off from the drive.”
The survey After a 70-year-old woman, Madhur Malti, was robbed of cash and jewellery by three miscreants after taking her hostage in her house at Sector 7, the door-to-door drive was initiated by the police. The drive was meant for the security of the elderly wherein professionally trained women officers were pressed into service to carry out the survey to instil confidence and a sense of security among residents.

PGI docs show concern for patients
Chandigarh, September 2 “The PGI is the only tertiary care institute in the region that is without a triage facility, thereby impairing access to treatment for patients in need of immediate care,” said a protesting doctor. The absence of adequate monitoring devices, oxygen cylinders, piped oxygen, functioning suction ports, essential medicines and other consumables along with malfunctioning laryngoscopes and BP instruments, only add to the anguish already being suffered by the patients and doctors attempting to treat them, said the a member of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD). “With such democratic exercise of protest, we only wish to benefit patients. We do not have any anguish against our authorities. This protest is a demonstration against the lack of response from the authorities despite our efforts to apprise them of the patient woes,” said one of the resident doctors. Due to the lack of full-time personnel dedicated to shifting patients and transferring samples to the lab areas and collecting the reports in a timely manner, it falls to the already overburdened residents to perform all these menial activities. These tasks distract the doctors while their efforts should be focused on patient care and resuscitation entirely, said the protesting doctors. This is for the first time that the doctors have shown resentment against the authorities over patient care facilities.

No promises to make, student organisations skip manifesto
Chandigarh, September 2 Earlier, organisations used to release manifestos much in advance to garner support from students. But over the years, student leaders have devised a novel way to woo voters — throwing booze parties and taking students on a trip. Although the issues in the manifestos, which were released by the student organisations in the past several years, used to be the same, but all organisations made it sure that they entered the fray with some issues and released their manifesto. Priyanka, a student of the UIET, said she was waiting for the student organisations to come up with their manifestos. “It is surprising that not even a single candidate approached me with the manifesto,” she said. Echoing similar views, Aman a law student, said: “No organisation has released its manifesto. This indicates that they don’t want to make any promises to students.” Interestingly, the student leaders are depending on the voters to set an agenda for them, which they will fulfil. Leader of the Student Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU) Vikramjit Singh Medukhera said: “Though we have not released our manifesto, but we are going to fulfil the demands of the students.” Leader of the Panjab University Students Union (PUSU) Yadwinder Singh said they were highlighting the agenda their organisation verbally during canvassing. A former PU student leader stated that the manifesto was the reflection of the party’s ideology that was must to win a student election. “Earlier, the student leaders used to introduce their agenda during the Open House. However, the Open House is not held following which the manifesto is the only way to attract the voters,” he said. A manifesto was released by Priya Ranjan, an independent candidate, from the UIET, who was earlier contesting for the post of president. Later, she joined hands with SOPU and settled for the post of joint secretary.

Finally, water supply restored
Mohali, September 2
Almost 15 days have passed since the leakage problem has occurred at Gharuan village. Two days ago, the officials had claimed that the water supply would be restored by Tuesday morning. “We are still apprehensive about restoring the water supply in the Phase IV pipeline tomorrow as some repair work is still on”, said the official. Early in the day, around 10 MGD water was released in the Phase III pipeline at around 3 pm from the Kajauli Water Works at Kajauli village, 27 km away from here. “Only 10 MGD water was released in the Phase III pipeline just to avoid any damage to the pipeline and the normal supply of 20 MGD was started late in the evening today”, said the official. An official said that leakage had again surfaced at the spot where the pipe was damaged. “It was a minor leakage and it was plugged immediately”, said the official. Tomorrow evening, water will be released in the Phase IV pipeline to test the strength of the repaired pipe. “Initially, we will release only 10 MGD water. If everything goes well, the entire supply of 20 MGD will be released soon after that.

Mayor, BJP president indulge in war of words
Chandigarh, September 2 Subhash Chawla on his Facebook account posted his comment in which he also raised questions to BJP president Sanjay Tandon, who recently visited the Kajauli site along with the BJP-SAD councillors. Chawla says, “The Kajauli pumping station which pumps water for Chandigarh is situated in Punjab. It is under the control of the Punjab Government and repair and maintenance work is its responsibilities. The municipal corporation only pays the annual bill for the work. The two pipelines broken in Mankheri village also comes under Punjab. The Punjab Government is laying another pipeline in the area for Mohali and for laying these pipelines heavy machinery is being
used and untrained labour is deployed for the said work.” To Chawla’s questions, Tandon replied that
those who lived in glass houses should not throw stones on others. He said that the present crisis had exposed the functioning of the municipal corporation in the city where there was no backup and no alternative was made available to the residents. Tandon further said that “Mayor Subhash Chawla ne saare sehar ki kismet kharab kar ke rakh di hai.”

Chandigarh, September 2 The Chandigarh Administration conveyed this and much more to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in connection with a petition filed by Justice Dewan and his wife Romilla. The information was furnished to the High Court, after a Division Bench reserved its verdict on Justice Dewan’s petition. In an affidavit placed before the Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Augustine George Masih, Chandigarh Social Welfare Department director Rajesh Jogpal asserted that the cell has been set up vide notification dated August 20 to look into the grievances of the senior citizens regarding threat to their life and property. Jogpal added the life and property of the elderly had to be protected under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizen's Act, 2007. The cell has been set up under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner and has 13 members. The helpline will provide counselling to the senior citizens. They counsellers may refer the cases of senior citizens to Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, and the State Legal Services Authority for medical and legal services in case of emergency. Chief Justice Dewan and his wife Romilla are seeking “protection” from their own son. Taking up their petition alleging that they have been forced allegedly into “animal existence” by their own son, the High Court had asked former Apex Court Judge, Justice Kuldip Singh, senior advocate ML Sarin and tax consultant Ravinder Kishan to mediate. But the talks failed. On a previous date of hearing, the High Court had made it clear that there was an immediate need to put in place the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizen's Act 2007.The assertion came after their counsel Puneet Bali argued that the welfare of senior citizens remained a neglected affair. Though emphasis was being laid on child and women rights, there was no mechanism to ensure the welfare of the elderly. Even a complaints’ authority had not been set up for the redressal of their grievances. Justice Dewan and his wife had raised the issue of special cells for the aged and the infirm left to fend for themselves in the twilight of their life by their progeny, after alleging harassment at the hands of their son.

Who cares about Lyngdoh recommendations?
Chandigarh, September 2 Paying no heed to the directions, members of a student organisation today took students of the UIET and UICET to an amusement park situated on periphery of Mohali. It seems that the candidates do not care much about the cancellation of their nomination. The students walked to Gate No 1 and boarded buses opposite the PGI.Sources said the Chandigarh police has noted down the registration number of buses and the names of the drivers.
This will be mentioned in a report of Lyngdoh violations which is prepared by the police. Another student organisation asked the students to come to the Sector 15 market from where they were taken to a multiplex for a movie. The members booked 200 tickets. The sources said liquor was also supplied to the students staying as paying guests. Despite knowing the fact that the poll expenditure runs into lakhs every year, the PU authorities have failed to take action against the violators. The university authorities have also appointed observers to check Lyngdogh violations. The observers submits its report after the elections are over. A Senate member said, "It's surprising that the university is ignoring the violations. What's the use to conducting the elections as per Lyngdoh guidelines when the university can't ensure the implementation of the same."
