This raider from Denmark is a part-time bartender at world’s one of finest bars
Jalandhar, December 4 "I started playing kabaddi just for fun. I have some wrestler friends who incidentally are members of the Denmark Kabaddi Club. I was introduced to the game by them. Gradually, I am getting fascinated by the game," said Mikkel. He, however, says they are facing difficulties in sustaining kabaddi in Denmark. "Actually, there is not much scope for the game as the environment there is not conducive to the game. There is snowfall for most part of the year and weather is very cold. We couldn't even do a regular practice," shares Mikkel. He is apparently happy about the fact that he is earning more money as tips than the salary paid by the bar management. "Most of the time, I earn up to Rs 10,000 in a single night. This is sufficient enough to sustain my course of marine engineering," he said. He seemed fascinated by the turban culture in the state. He has even bought one turban and learned to tie it from one of the policeman stationed in the same hotel where he is staying. "This is something different. I love this 'attire' and the people who always give a fine smile whenever we look at them. This affection and warmth is generally missing the world over," he quipped. About the tournament, he said it was a great opportunity to meet sportsmen from across the globe. "I have made some really nice friends from various teams. Even if I leave kabaddi, I will try to be in touch with them or to visit their country once my career takes off," says Mikkel. |

Hayre selected member of NRIs’ commission
Jalandhar, December 4 Hayre had remained the Sabha chairman from 2008 to 2012 and was originally aligned to the Congress party. He lost elections last year as the incumbent, Jasvir Singh Shergill, managed to create a vote bank of hundreds of Indians hailing from Dubai and other Gulf countries. Hayre’s defeat was then said to have been designed by some top Akali leaders. The former chairman was rather learnt to have developed cordial relations with a former local Congress minister Amarjit Singh Samra. Since a branch of Samra’s Capital Local Area Bank in Amritsar was opened by NRI Affairs Minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia two weeks back, it is learnt that Samra might have played to the minister for Hayre. Hayre now will enjoy judicial powers as a member of the commission. One section of observers also say that Hayre has reportedly emerged from the BJP’s support with the name recommended by state party president Kamal Sharma. Sharma had recently set up a new party’s NRI wing by appointing Harkirat Toor as the president. The city has been adequately represented in the appointment of seven members of boards and corporations. Vinod Kumar Sharma, who has been appointed as the chairman of the Punjab Water Supply and Sewage Board, hails from the city and so does Vijay Sampla, who has been appointed as the chairman of the Punjab State Forest Development and Corporation. |

Walia is a general manager of a brewery company. Many claim that since the marriage function is being held at PAP ground, the Mayor specifically chose this time for the road repair from BSF Chowk to PAP Chowk. The road is under repair work from the past two days and will conclude in two more days, just ahead of the marriage. Son of BJP leader Mahinder Bhagat, Atul, will be wedded to Hiteshi, daughter of Ramesh Chand, chief manager of Punjab National Bank here. His marriage is to be solemnised at a palace on Wadala Chowk.

Funds received for compensation
Tribune News Service
Jalandhar, December 4 The district land price fixation committee had earlier decided an amount of Rs 2.1 lakh per marla as compensation for the displacement of the persons at the acquired site. The land to be acquired includes the ground of Sanatan Dharam School, godown owned by BJP councilor Ravi Mahendru and a few vacant plots. LAC-cum-SDM-1 Iqbal Singh Sandhu had today listened to the objections from the land holders. The objections primarily included that more land was being acquired than it was mentioned in the records. The officials have sought a day’s time to sort out the issue. It is said that since Sandhu is busy with World Kabaddi Cup matches owing to his charge as additional director of sports till the ongoing matches, the process of taking possession and doling out award may take a few days. MLA North KD Bhandari, who had been after the project as it was his poll plank during 2007 and 2012 assembly polls, said that he would get it started at the earliest. The residents of the areas on either side of the railway track have been demanding that the bridge be constructed soon as the crossing remained close for most time of the day.
