Chhapar Mela
Mandi Ahmedgarh, September 19 The CM claimed that Punjab would gain on all fronts if the NDA prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi came to power at the Centre. In a tacit admission of groupism within the SAD, Badal urged the party workers to cast aside their differences and put up a united front to ensure victory in all the 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab. Blaming the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre for the country's “economic woes”, Badal said that agriculture and industry in the state were suffering because of the “lopsided economic policies” of the UPA Government. Admitting industrialists were fleeing the state, the CM said that concessions to neighbouring states were responsible for it. Defending the Rs 6,000 crore power subsidy to farmers, he said it was a big relief to the beleaguered” farmers. The Deputy CM said the Atta-Dal Scheme would be extended to another 16 lakh beneficiaries. “Two thermal plants would be made operational by the year-end, thereby making Punjab power surplus.” Refusing to be drawn into any controversy on the former Additional DGP Shashi Kant’s allegations on the drug trade in the state, Sukhbir said the former had not provided the government with a list of names. Sukhbir warned government officials against shielding those involved in the drug trade. He said any official found guilty would lose his job.

No poll pact with BJP in Haryana: Sukhbir
Muktsar, September 19 SAD chief Sukhbir Badal today said the party would not ditch its old partner, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), in the neighbouring state. “We will continue having an alliance with the INLD and the seat-sharing adjustment will be done at an appropriate stage. In the last elections too, the INLD was our alliance partner in Haryana,” he said. Sukhbir was here to attend the charge-assuming ceremony of SAD’s Gidderbaha constituency in charge Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon, who has been appointed the Chairman, District Planning Board. About the next parliamentary poll, Sukhbir said the “Congress is busy scouting for allies, including Manpreet Badal’s People’s Party of Punjab, as it is sure of its defeat”.

Bajwa dares Badals to make their assets public
Mandi Ahmedgarh, September 19 Addressing a large gathering, Bajwa said the state government had failed to safeguard the interests of all sections of society, mainly small farmers and traders, besides employees. Labelling SAD and BJP as communal parties, Bajwa said the SAD had joined hands with parties that had been spreading communal hatred. On Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal’s statement to bring back black money stashed in foreign banks, Bajwa said nothing could be more ridiculous than this claim. “Let the Badals make their assets public and explain the source of funds for their ever-expanding business empire that comprises seven-star hotels, lavish farm houses, transport business besides investments in real estate and liquor trade,” alleged Bajwa. The PPCC chief slammed SAD leaders for boycotting a function of CPS Navjot Kaur Sidhu in Amritsar. He said the Akalis had now started pressuring Amritsar MP Navjot Singh Sidhu’s wife. Tewari detailed achievements of the Union Government and facilities and grants provided by it to Punjab. He announced to give Rs 10 lakh for development of Chhapar village. Congress Legislature Party leader Sunil Jakhar argued why the state government could not give a higher bonus to farmers when Rajasthan was giving Rs 150 per quital as bonus. Former CM Rajinder Kaur Bhattal said the SAD’s dynastic rule had “ruined” the state. She alleged the Badals were responsible for the farmers’ plight as the Centre wanted to transfer flood relief amount directly to the bank accounts of farmers, but the state government did not cooperate. Congress open to electoral alliances Bajwa has hinted that the Congress was open for an alliance with like-minded parties for the parliamentary poll. He said a committee headed by Union Minister AK Antony had been entrusted with the task of working out alliances at the state level.

Principal Secy tenders apology to HC
Chandigarh, September 19 The apology was tendered by filing an affidavit. The Principal Secretary, Department of industries and Commerce, Karan Avtar Singh, and his predecessor AR Talwar were on a previous date of hearing questioned on the inability of the government to comply with the orders. A Division Bench of Justice Jasbir Singh and Justice GS Sandhawalia had made it clear that the High Court orders were to be implemented and not to be junked in a waste paper basket. The officers were earlier asked to show cause why contempt of court proceedings not be initiated against them for alleged defiance of High Court orders passed on August 17 last year. Digging deep into the issue of environment protection, the High Court last year had imposed a complete ban on mining without environmental clearance in operational quarries of up to five hectares in Punjab. The Bench had issued the directions after the Union Government counsel informed the High Court that the orders passed by the Supreme Court had made clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests mandatory. The state, as such, was required to obtain clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) to continue the mining operations. For expediting the grant of permission, the Bench had directed the authority to decide on a representation for granting clearance within 10 days. But the state government failed the get the clearance from the SEIAA for mining even a year after the High Court orders.

Land forcibly acquired for sewage plant: Farmer
Rajpura, September 19 The government has not paid a penny to the farmer whose land it claims to have acquired for the project. A day before its inauguration by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, the farmer has alleged that his land is being forcibly acquired. He claims that he has not yet agreed to sell his land to the government. “I was astonished to know that the administration has laid a stone there and a battery officers are keeping guard,” said Surinder Singh. "I did not sign any documents, except the meeting attendance. How then can they take over my land," he asked. He said he had been called for a few meetings but had told officials, including the Deputy Commissioner, that he was not ready to sell his land even for Rs 1.10 crore promised to him. "I will only take land in lieu of land in the same village as I am a poor farmer and will be left with only two acres of land if they acquire my land,” he said, warning the authorities against acquiring his land forcibly. Rajpura MLA Hardyal Kambhoj claimed that in 1991 Surinder Singh's land was taken for a disposal plant. "Now the administration wants his land for the STP.The administration has not paid a rupee to the farmer. So how can the Deputy CM inaugurate a plant on the land still owned by the farmer?" He said his party would stand by the affected farmer. However, the district administration claims to have completed all formalities for the inauguration of the STP tomorrow. Sukhbir is to address rallies at Patiala and Patran after inaugurating the project. When contacted, Patiala Deputy Commissioner (DC) Gopal Krishan Singh said that land acquisition in Neelpur had been completed in June 2013 and Surinder Singh had agreed to a compensation of Rs 70 lakh per acre. (This is vehemently denied by the farmer). Asked if the compensation money had been paid to the farmer, the DC said a proposal in this regard had been sent to the government. Efforts to contact the Deputy CM proved futile.

Let CBI probe forgery case, says UT police
It has asked the UT Administration to hand over the case to the CBI. Another FIR regarding the case was registered two days ago. The nine-page FIR, with no details of the previous cases lodged in the scam, names the accused as Sukhbir Singh Shergill, resident of SAS Nagar, his wife Gurbir Kaur Shergill, MLA Jeet Mohinder Singh and Gurdeep Singh. A day after the second case was registered, UT Inspector-General of Police (IGP) RP Upadhayaya today wrote to the Home Secretary, Anil Kumar, suggesting that the earlier case be handed over to the CBI. “This case is complex. It entails investigations into allegations of misappropriation of a huge amount of money to the tune of Rs 100 crore. Hence, investigation of this case by the CBI, which is a specialised agency, is highly recommended,” the IGP wrote. When contacted, all that the reluctant IGP had to say was: “Investigations are going on in the right direction.” The Home Secretary, however, said they had received the letter and would deliberate on it before taking any action. In his complaint, Raman Uppal had alleged that Shergill had cheated him of crores of rupees while opening a company, Customer Related Management Services, in Sector 9 here. Jeet Mohinder Singh, while denying the allegations levelled against him in the FIR, has sought a CBI probe into the matter. In a statement, he said Shergill was a relative but he had nothing to do with the alleged forgery. Terming the charges against him as baseless, he blamed retired Tamil Nadu-cadre IAS officer Gurnihal Pirzada for the "conspiracy" against him. He said the Vigilance had slapped several cases of disproportionate assets against him during the Congress government in the state.

Afghan onions to lower prices, 17 truckloads arrive via Attari
Amritsar, September 19 Rajdeep Uppal, CII Zonal Council chief, said importers had received 400 to 500 tonnes of onion from Afghanistan and were expecting another 1,000 to 2,000 tonnes within the next few days. He said these imports were certain to push down onion prices in Punjab, New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. Sources said each of the 17 trucks that had arrived today carried 20 tonnes to 22 tonnes of onion. These were packed in gunny bags with a capacity of 120 kg each. Clearing House agent Manav Taneja, who received a consignment from Afghanistan, said it belonged to importers based in Delhi, Amritsar and Gujarat. He said a Delhi-based importer, who had ordered the first consignment, had already got the permit to import 25,000 bags of onion from Kabul. Other importers from Delhi were keen to follow suit. On the quality of onion, he said it was second grade. He said it took four or five days for the trucks from Kabul to reach Attari. Leading clearing agent Jaspal Singh said more trucks were on the way to Attari and they expected another 15 to 20 truckloads of onion from Afghanistan tomorrow. The first truck from Afghanistan had arrived at the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari on September 5. Three more truckloads of onion had arrived on September 11. Indian importers are getting Afghan onions under the Afghanistan Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA). The Pakistan Government had imposed a ban on onion export to India via Attari in 2011.

Crackdown on sand mafia in Moga
Moga, September 19 The police has also seized one JCB machine from Kamalke village in Dharamkot sub-division, which was being used at the mining sites. After an intensive drive against illegal sand mining in the past couple of weeks, the police is now following leads to arrest the kingpin of the racket who reportedly enjoys political patronage. A police official said an organised network of sand mafia had been active in the area for the past several years, causing huge revenue losses to the state government. The Sutlej passes through the district along its border with Ferozepur, Tarn Taran and Jalandhar. Senior Superintendent of Police KJS Dhillon said prima facie it appeared that mining was done in the areas falling within the boundaries of Ferozepur and Jalandhar districts and sand was transported to the Malwa belt through Moga. Some of the farmers had also leased out their land for illegal mining in the border areas. The illegal sand mining gained momentum in the past couple of weeks with the weakening of the monsoon and receding of water level in the river. Besides, the construction activity that was halted due to the monsoon has also been resumed resulting into an increased demand for sand which in turn led to a spur in the mining activity.

Safai sewaks write to PM to seek correct wages
Patiala, September 19 The safai sewaks have taken the move with the help of members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). They alleged they were being paid much lesser than what they were entitled to get. They said they wanted the payments as per the minimum wages notified through cheques and with pay-slips. The workers said the present safai/conservancy contractor, Pawan Bajaj, who was running the contract since May 16, 2013, for providing 213 safaiwalas to the station, was paying them a monthly salary of Rs 3,200 instead of Rs 5,695, the minimum rate of wage promulgated by the Punjab Government with effect from March 1, 2013. They alleged he was also arbitrarily deducting an amount of Rs 1,000 per month in the name of security deposit. An employee said the contractor, while paying the wages, writes the paid amount with pencil, gets employees’ signature with pen and then later changes the paid amount. “The employee of the station headquarters who is supposed to oversee the payment of correct wages, also seems to be involved in this conspiracy with the contractor. Some employees are marked present at more than one location on the same day, thereby cheating the government. This is not possible without the connivance of Army/station headquarters' staff who are supposed to oversee the workers' deployment and attendance,” he said. AAP member Dharam Vira Gandhi said the contractor also seemed to be defaulting on the deposit of the Employee Provident Fund as he had not informed the workers of any such scheme till then. “The said employees have also not been given the benefit of the ESI. Some of these employees are also made to do labour work such as digging foundations of buildings being constructed in the cantonment/non-cantonment area,” he said. Party activist Major (retd) RPS Malhotra said the government should order a court of inquiry in the matter and take action against the erring persons. They should ensure formation and registration of the Contractual Employees’ Union and allot office space for the same so that their rights remain protected. Contractor Pawan Bajaj refuted the allegations and said his competitors had deliberately instigated the safai karamcharis. “I am paying salary according to what is being given to me by the government. As far as taking the security is concerned, I am doing it because if there is some theft or any other untoward incident inside the cantonment, the onus would fall on me and I would be made to pay for the loss,” he said.

Milk, ghee to cost more
The price of Verka ghee has been hiked by Rs 15 per kg from today. It will now be sold for Rs 325 per kg. While the price of full cream milk will be increased from Rs 38 to Rs 40 per litre and that of standard milk from Rs 36 per litre to Rs 37 per litre, there will be no change in the price of double tone and single tone milk. The decision was taken today following an increase in the procurement price of milk. At present, Milkfed is paying Rs 480 per kg fat as procurement price for milk to the dairy farmers. This price is now being hiked by Rs 10 per kg fat. With Milkfed losing a large number of dairy farmers associated with it to private milk, producers, who are paying a much higher procurement price, it had become imperative for the dairy cooperative to increase the procurement price. This is the second hike during the past two months. In June, Milkfed had increased the price of all categories of milk and ghee after the cooperative raised the procurement price of milk by Rs 30 per kg fat. Official sources said they were facing a shortage of milk. The cooperative was procuring 8.75 lakh litres of milk daily as against the supply of 9.50 lakh litres. The gap in demand and supply was presently being met through the reconstitution of milk from skimmed milk powder, they added.

HIV patient denied dialysis at Rajindra Hospital
Patiala, September 19 The 45-year-old patient is a constable in the Punjab Police and was admitted in the hospital three days ago. He said he had been undergoing treatment for HIV from the same hospital. He said he had stopped taking medicine in between due to which his condition deteriorated. "I was brought to the hospital three days ago and doctors said I required immediate dialysis. When I was taken for the procedure in the morning, they saw my file and said I could not be treated here as I was HIV positive and the only machine they had for the purpose would get infected. They said I would have to get the dialysis done from a private hospital," the patient said. This is not the first time that an HIV positive patient has been refused treatment at Government Rajindra Hospital. A few months ago, an HIV positive patient was denied treatment by the Department of Orthopaedics. Medical Superintendent of the hospital Dr VK Sharda and head of the medicine department Dr HS Sandhu said they had only two machines and if they perform dialysis of an HIV positive patient, the machine gets defunct for about 15 days as its sterilisation takes time. They said they had no option but to ask the patient to seek treatment from a private hospital or the
PGI.

HC: Reinstated employee entitled to full benefits
Chandigarh, September 19 Referring to Rule 7.3 of the Punjab Civil Services Rules, Justice Tejinder Singh Dhindsa asserted: “A bare reading of the provision would make it clear that a government employee who has been dismissed, removed, compulsorily retired or suspended, is re-instated upon having been fully exonerated, then he shall be given full pay and allowances to which he would have been entitled to had he not been dismissed, removed, compulsorily retired or suspended as the case may be”. Justice Dhindsa also held as arbitrary Punjab’s action of denying an exonerated policeman his full pay and allowances while granting the same to a similarly placed colleague. The ruling came on a petition filed by Sucha Singh against Punjab and other respondents. Serving as an Assistant Sub Inspector in the Punjab Police, he was dismissed from service after being convicted in August 2000 by Jalandhar Special Judge under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. In November 2010, his conviction orders were set aside after his appeal was allowed, following which the Director-General in July 2011 reinstated him in service. The petitioner, however, was denied salary and allowances for period he remained out of service. Also raising the plea of discrimination, his counsel contended ASI Surjit Singh too was dismissed solely upon conviction. But upon acquittal, he was ordered to be reinstated in service with full pay and allowances for the period he remained out of service. “The action of the respondent-authorities in denying to the petitioner full pay and allowances for the period in question while granting the same very benefit to his colleague, Surjit Singh, who was identically situated, is held to be arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India”. Allowing the petition, Justice Dhindsa asserted: “The order of conviction of the petitioner under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act has been set aside and the petitioner stands completely exonerated. This court will have no hesitation in holding that in terms of Rule 7.3, the petitioner upon being acquitted would be entitled to the full salary and allowances for the period in question”.

Addictive drugs worth Rs 1.5 cr seized
Ludhiana, September 19 Commissioner of Police Paramjit Singh Gill said a hunt was on to nab the accused. "It is a tip of the iceberg. A Special Investigating Team (SIT) has been constituted to look into the case," adding the police had busted a major supply chain of habit-forming drugs in the state. Gurbans Bains Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime), said the anti-narcotics cell in charge, Harbans Singh, received a tipoff that drugs were being hoarded in various godowns in Transport Nagar.

The licensing authority of the Health Department accompanied the police during the raid. They put the cost of the seized drugs at Rs 7 crore. The police also took possession of some documents that appeared to be fake. Bains said Nitin Goel and his father Pawan Goel had floated bogus companies, including Goel Sales Corporation, Shri Krishna Agency and Atlas Pharmaceutical.They were procuring habit-forming drugs from pharma companies in Delhi, Haryana, Rajisthan and Himachal Pradesh. The role of transport companies was also under the scanner, he said. SAD councillor held with drugs Amritsar: In a major catch, the anti-narcotic cell of the Amritsar rural police today allegedly nabbed a sitting Akali councillor from Ajnala with habit-forming drugs. Though only around 500 proscribed capsules were seized from his possession, the incident points towards the alleged nexus between politicians and drug traffickers that has been aiding drug abuse. The accused, Janak Raj, is a councillor from Gopal Nagar’s ward number 1 in Ajnala. He has been booked under the NDPS Act. Sanjiv Kumar, in charge of the anti-narcotics cell, said following a tip-off, the police laid a naka near Lakhuwal village and arrested the accused with 495 capsules. — PK Jaiswar

Sangrur, September 19 The police said Rajesh Singh from Dhanauri village had hired some persons and given them Rs 5 lakh for kidnapping the couple and getting the sale deed of Ram Kishan's 14 kanals and 4 marlas of land registered in his name. The couple was allegedly taken to Maulviwala village (Patran) and kept in a tube well motor's room at night. However, on September 17, when Ram Kishan was taken somewhere in a car by the kidnappers, his wife Rajpati managed to flee from there and reported the matter to the Khanauri police.
