property tax
Civic body conducts awareness drive
Municipal Corporation holds special meetings with residents in urban areas
Tribune News Service

Amritsar, October 4
With a view to spreading awareness, the Municipal Corporation (MC) kicked off an awareness drive about the property tax norms, apparently due to the lukewarm response it got from residents.

Even as the date of the Punjab Government’s ordinance to pay property tax in urban areas, falling under the MC’s limits, has been extended till November 30, the MC has geared up to realise the taxes from April 1, but could receive only Rs 4 lakh, officials said.

To spread awareness, the MC has initiated to hold a series of sessions with different sections of society to achieve the purpose. In the first session of the series, they interacted with hotel owners of the walled city area. The MC has also put up hoardings to sensitise people on the issue.

The MC officials, led by Superintendent Shushant Bhatia, today met the hoteliers operating around the Golden Temple complex. Bhatia said the hoteliers were apprised of the benefits of paying the property tax and they assured them to pay up the dues within a span of a week. In the next phase, we would be holding meetings with associations of focal point, Guru Nanak market, IDH market, Putlighar market, East Mohan Nagar and others, he said.

Officials said four officials of the Local Bodies Department had been nominated by the government to monitor the property tax realisation in all corporations. “Here in Amritsar, secretary Local Bodies Ashok Gupta would observe the scenario,” he said.

MC expects a whopping amount

If everything goes according to the plan and the property tax becomes a reality, the Amritsar civic authorities anticipate to garner money to the tune of Rs 40-Rs 50 crore annually by way of realisation through property tax alone. Amritsar has been divided into eight zones consisting of 557 localities.

A self-assessment system will be adopted. The formula on which property tax will be determined is the collector rate of the land plus the cost of the construction. Five per cent of the total value calculated in this regard will be considered as the annual value of the plot.

On houses measuring 50 yards, the property tax would be Rs 50 per annum; on houses measuring 100 yards, it would be Rs 150 per annum. On houses measuring above 100 yards and other buildings and properties, it would be charged on a unit area basis. The value of unit will be decided by respective deputy commissioners.

For the commercial units, 20 per cent of the unit value would be calculated in case of malls and hotels with five-star and above rating. For other hotels, the property tax would be 15 per cent per year. It would also be charged on vacant plots and other such properties. Officials said the owners of vacant plots would be required to pay 0.2 per cent of the annual value of the property, while the owners of self-occupied property measuring up to 500 sq yd would have to pay 0.5 per cent of the annual value as tax. The rate of tax would be double at 1 per cent for those owning plots above 500 sq yd. However, the owners of self-occupied commercial property will have to dish out 3 per cent of the annual value as tax.

The tax rate had been reduced in the case of property given on rent. Earlier, 15 per cent of the rent was paid as house tax in the case of commercial property, which had now been reduced to 10 per cent. In the case of residential property, the tax had been reduced from 10 to 7.5 per cent.

Exempted properties

There would be no tax on buildings and land used exclusively for religious purposes, cremation or burial grounds, gaushalas, stray animal care centres, historical and heritage buildings, scientific and cultural organisations, charitable and philanthropic organisations.

MC employees continue to remain on the warpath
Block road for four hours as a symbolic protest against the non-payment of their salaries
Tribune News Service

Amritsar, October 4
The Municipal Corporation (MC) employees, who are on a warpath against the non-payment of their salaries by the civic body, resorted to a road blockade for around four hours in the Hathi Gate area near the auto workshop here this morning, leading to traffic chaos.

They parked garbage-collecting vehicles in the middle of the road, causing inconvenience to the public.

Even as the MC has started the process of paying up dues to its employees, this gesture has not gone down well with them, as they demanded the full payment of their dues lying pending for the past two months. The MC is paying them one month's salary after the state government transferred an amount of Rs 2 crore in the MC's account.

Nonetheless, the agitating employees under the banner of the Sanjhi Sangharsh Committee have threatened to intensify their agitation from Monday, which include blocking the "Uchcha pul" in support of their demands.

On the other hand, the MC Commissioner had sent a communication to the employees' representatives to have a meeting tomorrow, but it was straightaway turned down by them.

Surinder Tona, president, MC Workers Union, said they had declined to accept the meeting proposal, as it would be nothing but just a formality.

"We had unanimously decided to decline the meeting proposal because Saturday would be a closed day and the meeting would just end up with no logical conclusion. We have replied to the MC Commissioner to fix a meeting on a working day only. The authorities could have done that but till this hour, no communication has come from their side," he said.

Charan Dass, another employees' representative said besides their pay, scores of their other genuine demands, too, could never find favour with the MC authorities which included their pending arrears against the Sixth Pay Commission, uniform allowance, regularisation of their jobs and filling of vacant posts.

"If the MC authorities maintained their adamant behaviour, we would resort to shun the MC machinery. I appeal to the residents of Amritsar to bear with us because it was our genuine cause, as there were some employees who did not have fire in their kitchen for quite some time and were unable to pay school fee of their children or pay their medical expenses," he said.

No coach for common man in Lalkuan Express
Neeraj Bagga
Tribune News Service

Amritsar, October 4
Even as the Railways has launched once-a-week Amritsar-Lalkuan AC Express, it is out of reach for the common man who can't afford an AC-class ticket.

A city resident Simarpreet Singh said it was astonishing that the Railways operated a fully AC train between the holy city and the town in Uttarakhand while ignoring the interests of the middle and lower-middle income group passengers.

He said his relatives reside at Haldwani and they want to utilise the direct connectivity of the train to reach the place. However, high fares of the air-conditioned coach deter them from journeying in the same. Notably, the train neither has any second-class coach nor general coach in it.

He said there were only two categories of fare and both of these were restricted only to AC travel. He said the per person fare for the AC 3 tier was Rs 850 and Rs 680 for the chair car from Amritsar to Lalkuan.

A travel agent Saurabh Mehra said the train had not gained much attention of the people due to poor publicity and its odd name. “Lalkuan being 'not much heard of place', people aren't aware about the destinations of the train”. He said a more prominent name must have been given to the train to help passengers to identify with its destination. For instance, Amritsar-Nainital would be more prominent, as Lalkuan is a nagar panchayat of the lake district, which is about 25 km from Lalkuan.

Railways officials said the coaches of the AC Express train were the same which were utilised for running the thrice-a-week Amritsar-Saharsa Garib Rath. Hence, its name was only changed. It ensured the optimum utilisation of the train and offered more connectivity to the passengers.

Thus, the train had 18 coaches, including 13 AC three-tier coaches, three AC chair car and two generator coaches to provide constant power to all compartments.

It may be mentioned here that the weekly train departs every Wednesday from Amritsar at 5:55 am, halts at Chandigarh at 10.20 am and reaches Lalkuan at 8.50 pm. En-route the train has halts at Beas, Jalandhar City, Phagwara, Ludhiana, New Morinda, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, Chandigarh, Ambala Cantt, Jagadhari, Saharanpur, Roorkee, Laksar, Nazibabad, Moradabad and Kashipur stations. On the same day, the train leaves Lalkuan at 11.15 pm for return journey. On its return journey, the train will reach Chandigarh at 9 am the next day and Amritsar at 2.45 pm.

Work on BRTS in city to start in February next year
Tribune News Service

Amritsar, October 4
The work on the state government's ambitious bus rapid transit system (BRTS) for Amritsar will begin in February 2014, while its detailed project report is being sent to the Union Government for approval by mid-October.

This was stated at a workshop held here today for introducing the concept of the BRTS in the city. Presiding over the workshop, SK Lohia, ex-officio joint secretary, Union Ministry of Urban Development, highlighted the opportunities for urban transport in India and the challenges faced by it. Terming the BRTS as a remedy to acute congestion on roads, Lohia said it was the most reliable, safe and affordable system of urban mobility. He said India was the world's second largest urban system with nearly 8,000 towns and cities. He pointed out that between 1981 and 2001, the vehicular population in six metro cities in India had increased four times the rise in population of these cities. He said keeping in view the unprecedented growth in vehicles, encouraging the use of public transport system was a must. He appreciated the initiative of the Punjab Government towards replicating the metro experience on urban roads by introducing the BRTS.

Later, Laghu Parashar, senior manager, Urban Mass Transit Company, gave a detailed presentation on planning, design and execution of the BRTS in Amritsar.

It was informed that in the first phase of the project, 65 AC buses would be operational in Amritsar and would cover a 31-km route. The presentation highlighted the key features of the BRTS, including dedicated bus lanes, attractive high capacity buses, closed bus stations, level boarding and alighting like metro stations, tactile tiles for differently abled people and wheel chair users, low floor, intelligent transportation system (ITS), GPRS and the like.

It was discussed at the meeting that the detailed project report (DPR) for Amritsar City with an indicative cost of Rs 500 crore would be forwarded to the Government of India for approval by mid-October. The BRT system designed for Amritsar shall not only provide a passenger transport solution, but also provide a long-term traffic solution for the city by providing interventions on Bhandari Bridge and Verka level crossing, thereby decreasing the overall traffic congestion in the city.

This approximately Rs 500-crore project will commence in February 2014 and the dedicated route of buses will include passage from India Gate (Nariangarh Chowk), Attari Road, GNDU, Khalsa College, Railway Station, Bhandari Bridge, Elevated Road, Jalandhar Road and another route will include Queens road, Mall road to Verka. The constraints in the way of the BRTS, namely high-tension wires on Verka Road, level crossing at Verka, conservation of the Ram Bagh area by the ASI and congestion on Bhandari Bridge were well taken care of and proposed solutions were also discussed.

It was informed that after Amritsar, the system would be introduced on a 48-km route in Ludhiana and the finalisation of technical plans for the system were in an advanced stage of completion. After the pilot project in Amritsar and Ludhiana, the same would be replicated in Jalandhar and Mohali.

Besides, the BRTS other initiatives of the Punjab Government in the field of public transport were also touched upon and it was informed that City Bus Service in Amritsar with a fleet of more than 100 buses would be operational soon. It was further informed that City Bus Service would also be introduced in Mohali soon.

PIDB MD Anurag Aggarwal, Ludhiana DC Rajat Aggarwal, Amritsar DC Ravi Bhagat and other officials were also present on the occasion.

Key features of Amritsar BRTS

  • Dedicated road corridors, enabling bus to move with high speed thereby reducing the travel time
  • High-end AC buses
  • State-of-the-art modern bus stops with level boarding like Metro for convenience of passengers/commuters
  • Automated fare collection
  • Passenger information system with real time advance information of bus arrival/departure inside the bus and on the bus stops
  • Foot overbridges at select location for better access of commuters approaching bus stands

Amritsar, October 4
With the last date for getting the illegal properties and colonies regularised approaching near, a huge rush was seen at the Municipal Corporation offices. The last date for getting the properties regularised is October 7.

Even as Saturday and Sunday is observed as holiday at government offices, the Municipal Corporation has already announced that employees would be working on these two days to accept applications and deposit fees from the applicants.

The employees at the various offices of Municipal Corporation designated for accepting the applications said the rush of applicants has increased with the last date approaching near. “Earlier, we received only few applications but now we are getting queries from more than 150 applicants,” said an employee at MC’s office in Ajit Nagar near Chehharta.

Even as the Deputy Chief Minister had earlier said that the date for accepting applications would not be extended, residents demanded that date should be extended so that people can get their properties regularised.

“There are around 400 illegal colonies where there are thousands of plots and houses. Even common people need some time to arrange the money,” said Joginder Pal Sharma, an applicant at MC office. He said that if the date is extended, it would be easier for people.

However, the district administration too had earlier warned the residents to get their properties regularised by the due date. The administration has issued instructions that that water supply, sewerage and electricity connections would be disconnected of the properties which failed to deposit the fees.

Amritsar, October 4
Ghazal maestro Jagjeet Singh's wife Chitra Singh is struggling to get a building for the Jagjeet Singh Foundation where the talent of budding singers could be nurtured.

Talking to The Tribune after paying obeisance at the Golden Temple on Jagjeet Singh's second death anniversary, Chitra Singh said, "It was the dream of my husband to train the young talent in singing so that they could carve out a niche for themselves. I have set up Jagjeet Singh Foundation but I need a building where the upcoming singers could be trained."

She said she had written to PM Manmohan Singh, AICC Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan, urging them to allocate a suitable place for the purpose, but she did not receive any response from them. She said another aim of the foundation would be to extend medical aid to the needy, but for that there was paucity of funds. She said she would need the help of the government as well as people to achieve these aims.

She said a musical programme was being organised in the memory of Jagjeet Singh in Mumbai on October 10, in which Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Anup Jalota will perform. She said an album of Jagjeet Singh, with songs which were never recorded, will be released. These songs were recorded by his fans but were never given the shape of an album. The album titled, "Voice from Beyond" will have songs penned by Gulzar, Nida Fazli and others. One of the songs in the album doesn't have any music, she revealed.

About her own singing career, Chitra said she had no desire left to resume singing. She said Jagjeet Singh was a religious person and he had immense faith in Sri Harmandar Sahib. She also listened to Gurbani Kirtan. She reached here this morning and returned in the evening after visiting the holy shrine.

SGPC to set up Global Sikh Centre for Learning and Information in US
Tribune News Service

Amritsar, October 4
The SGPC is now gearing up to expand to the foreign shores by setting up the Global Sikh Centre for Learning and Information at Yuba City in California, US.

Talking to the mediapersons here today, SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar said they have floated a parallel body named SGPC USA Inc. to run the affairs of the centre which will be spread over 13 acres of land in California. He said Sikh philanthropist Deedar Singh Bains has donated the land to the SGPC for establishing the centre whose foundation stone would be laid in February next year. He said the centre was aimed at sensitising the people there about the Sikh religion. He said the four-member SGPC delegation led by its senior vice-president Raghujeet Singh Virk has already taken stock of the property about which all the legal formalities have been completed.

The delegation also held a series of meetings, besides opening up the centre's account with the Bank of America. A management committee has also been formed to run the new body, SGPC USA Inc. This committee will work under the SGPC. This panel comprises Avtar Singh Makkar, Raghujeet Singh Virk, Sukhdev Singh Bhaur, Rajinder Singh Mehta, Mohan Singh Bangi, US-based Deedar Singh Bains and his son.

Makkar said a gurdwara will also be constructed along with the centre. He said the Global Sikh Centre for Learning and Information will have the distance education programme about Sikhism in English language in the online format so as to facilitate propagation of Sikhism there. He said the centre will also have Gurmat classes and turban-tying classes for Sikh children. Besides, seminars will be organised and literature in various languages distributed to spread awareness about the Sikh religion. On printing of Guru Granth Sahib and other religious literature in the USA, Makkar said these issues are also under consideration of the SGPC while adding that the supply of 'birs' and other religious literature will be made from the Yuba City Centre in future. The SGPC efforts in this direction assume significance in wake of the hate crimes against Sikhs post-9/11. The Sikhs in the USA and other countries have been facing various problems due to mistaken identity and security barriers.

Give special academic leave to faculty members, Joshi tells GMCs

Amritsar, October 4
In his first meeting with the principals and medical superintendents of Government Medical Colleges (GMCs), Medical Education and Research Minister Anil Joshi has asked them to give a 20-day academic leave to faculty members participating in international conferences.

He said the move would encourage the faculty members to participate in international events and gain relevant experience. He said the experience would be useful for the general public.

Joshi said the academic leave should be given at least once in two years. He also instructed the authorities to encourage faculty members to participate in international events as it would advertise local doctors' expertise in other countries.

Joshi instructed the principals and medical superintendents to work for restoring general the public's faith in government medical services.

He said people were losing faith in government institutions and they preferred private hospitals.

He said medical college hospitals should also start providing facilities at their private rooms so that even well-to-do can avail these facilities. He said that facilities such as television and other which are given at private hospitals should be provided at these rooms. He said that government would earn revenue only if people start using services provided by government hospitals. —TNS
