Patients suffer as docs protest
Ludhiana, November 17 The doctors did not conduct even laboratory and ultra-sound tests. The patients from poor families were unaware of their protest. Uma Prasad, a rickshaw-puller said he was suffering from acute pain in his left ear but could not get proper consultation as the doctors were on protest against the government. “I cannot afford to visit an ENT specialist at a private hospital or nursing home. The Civil Hospital is affordable. Now, I will have to again visit the hospital tomorrow. Since the pain is acute, I will get medicine from a medical store,” said Prasad. Shiv Ram Saroye, a social worker, said many patients returned disappointed as the doctors did not attend to them. “A mentally challenged girl child had to visit a doctor. We called up her parents. But they were
already reached near the hospital. They had a tough time bringing the child to the hospital,” said Saroye. While post-mortem examinations were conducted in routine, no medical certificates were issued. Dr Avinash Jindal, president of the PCMS Specialist Wing, said the doctors never wanted to put the patients in difficulty. “But, we are also helpless. Protest is the only option when the government refuses to listen to the requests and pleas. We admit that the poor and needy patients suffered as we did not provide special services to them but those coming to emergencies were treated by the doctors,” said Dr Jindal. Specialists’ demands

HC raps MC for utilising land for 13 years without paying compensation
Chandigarh, November 17 The admonishment by Justice Satish Kumar Mittal and Justice Deepak Sibal came on an appeal by the corporation against Surinder Kumari and other respondents. Taking up the matter, the Bench asserted: “The land was utilised in 2001 and 13 years have elapsed thereafter. To date, no compensation as calculated in accordance with law has been paid… “In fact, no compensation was even assessed as per the procedure prescribed by law. The respondents had thus been deprived of property without payment of compensation or without following any process established by law. The action of the appellant, Corporation, was also in contravention of the provisions of The Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976”. In its appeal, the corporation had earlier challenged the order dated July 24 passed by a Judge of the High Court whereby a writ petition filed by the legal heirs of Hari Chand was allowed with costs. Hari Chand, predecessor, in interest of the respondents, had purchased a plot measuring 580 square yards in the Dhandari Kalan area of Ludhiana in October 1983 before starting his business after constructing three rooms. In 2001, the corporation utilised the land after starting construction of the Dhandari railway flyover in Ludhiana. The Bench observed that the land was utilised “without following any procedure meant for acquiring the land and without fixation of and payment of compensation as required by law. Only an assurance had been given to the landowner that he would be given a plot of equal size and equal price on the GT Road in lieu of the utilisation of his plot. “The construction of the flyover continued for about six years and during this period the landowner was not allotted any plot as promised though there was correspondence to allot adjoining land belonging to the Municipal Corporation to him…” Referring to the corporation’s stand that a cheque sent to the respondents was not accepted, the Bench added: “No procedure was followed to calculate the amount of compensation to be paid and therefore merely sending a cheque of
amount calculated unilaterally at the whims of the appellant, corporation, cannot be considered to be payment of relief in furtherance of any procedure known to law for payment of compensation for acquiring the land”. Dismissing the appeal, the Bench concurred with the view taken by the single Judge that the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, were required to be applied. |

Conned once, attacked twice
Ludhiana, November 17 Police officials are treading cautiously and abstaining from commenting on the previous incident. Commissioner of Police Pramod Ban maintained that the police were investigating the case from all angles and it would be cracked soon. Rakesh Kumar was not available for comments. His wife said the police were recording his version. When asked if the gang was the same that had attacked her husband last month, Rakesh’s wife replied, “We could not recognise the criminals.” The sweetmeat shop owner had suffered multiple injuries and was admitted to Dayanand Medical College Hospital (DMC&H) last month. A police official said yesterday’s robbery was executed by a different gang. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP-Crime) Jaswinder Singh said, “The sketches of all seven swindlers, who had entered the house of Rakesh Kumar posing as IT officials, are being made. Out of the seven, three swindlers were sporting turbans while other four were clean-shaven.” He added that although CCTV cameras were installed in the house, the swindlers before fleeing took away the digital video recorder (DVR). When asked why the police were not checking the CCTVs installed in other houses, ADCP (Crime) said, “We are on the job and checking the CCTVs. It was a meticulously planned act. The suspects took the advantage of heavy traffic. The swindlers were aware of the heavy rush on the road outside Rakesh’s house in Sarabha Nagar on account of Jagannath Rath Yatra.” The question which is doing the rounds is why the gang targeted Rakesh and how they got to know that he had kept a hefty sum in the house. The involvement of an insider cannot be ruled out. The incident
On Sunday, seven persons arrived at the house of Rakesh Kumar, owner of Khushiram Sweets. They told security guard Sukhpal Singh and his colleague that they were from the Income Tax Department and took their mobile phones. The imposters told Rakesh that the raid was being conducted following information that he had kept
Rs 50 crore in his house. The seven-member gang spent two hours in the house and took away
Rs 20 lakh. One of the gang members accompanied Rakesh’s wife and brought
Rs 5 lakh from his relative’s house, who had informed the police about it. On Monday, the police registered a case under Sections 420, 170, 171 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. The plot appears to have been lifted from Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher starrer movie Special 26. While Commissioner of Police Pramod Ban has not ruled out the involvement of criminals behind the duping act, the city has not witnessed a similar incident in the recent past. Police sources said there was possibility that the gang had planned to rob Rakesh Kumar after
watching the movie.s |

If we vow to keep at least our own street clean, we not only share the work of the municipal council but also spread a message that its high time we create a ‘swachh Bharat’, said Ashnit. Tamanna said: “We have met members of the municipal council as well as members of the All Traders’ Union. Though we are in a sufficient number and shall be adding to our strength everyday, we need the support of elders to realise this dream of ours. Cleaning up our own town not only gives us satisfaction but also makes us feel great that we too have contributed to the campaign which the Prime Minster has initiated.” “Everyday after we finish off our school work, we move out as per the fixed time to streets assigned to us. The quantity of dirt and garbage which we came across on the first day has now reduced to a considerable extent as our working, it seems, has finally worked out. Residents too have begun to feel that they are spreading dirt on the streets and they should avoid doing so,” opined Hardik, Paramjit and Ashpreet. “So the awareness and message is going on well with townsters. But we will continue with our little efforts because we know they are not in vain. We have also started planting saplings at various places and should monitor their growth. We will also collect clothes from homes and distribute the same among the needy as winters are fast approaching,” said Manjaap Singh, Udhav Bhanot and Pannia Dhiman.

MC to relax terms to attract bidders
Shivani Bhakoo Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 17 Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Pradeep Aggarwal said the terms had to be relaxed. At the same time, it was ensured that the MC did not lose anything while relaxing the conditions. “Earlier, the bidders were asked to present a bank guarantee of Rs 5 crore. The interest had to go to banks and the MC had nothing to lose and gain. But they wanted that the amount be reduced so that it became viable for many to bid. So, we have decided to accept their demand. Two or three conditions have been amended,” said the Commissioner. Due to the non-operational City Bus Service, 100 buses have been gathering dust for the past three to four months. While over 60 buses were run for two to three years, there were over 30 buses, which were new and could not ply (as the matter of diesel-run vehicles was pending in the High Court). The company, which ran the City Bus Service, had abruptly stopped the service in July following losses. The MC had then decided to float fresh tenders under no profit no loss scheme. But the bidders showed no interest. Upset over the poor response, the MC authorities decided to relax the terms and conditions.

SAD tells BJP to mind MP
Ludhiana, November 17 Cheema said the SAD had officially lodged a protest with Sharma against Sidhu’s
utterances against the coalition government in Ludhiana yesterday. Sidhu’s action is “intolerable and against the spirit of the coalition dharma”, said Cheema. “The BJP high command in Delhi as well as the state has openly clarified that there is no issue between the SAD and the BJP. There should be no reason for Sidhu to speak against the SAD leadership,” he added. Demanding, on behalf of the SAD, a “strict disciplinary action” against Sidhu, Dr Cheema urged Sharma to take the matter up with the party high command. He said such utterances were creating bitterness in the
SAD-BJP alliance. Sidhu has been at loggerheads with the Akali Dal leadership since last year. As the BJP’s star campaigner in the Haryana elections, he said there was no reason for the BJP to continue supporting the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab. This was followed by a controversy over the withdrawal of Sidhu’s security that the state government later restored. Meanwhile, state BJP Chief Kamal Sharma, when contacted, said he would convey the Akali Dal sentiments to the party high command. “It’s for the party high command to decide on the issue,” he added. Commenting on Sidhu’s outburst, Sharma said issuing such statements did not help. “If Sidhu has some differences (with the SAD leadership), there are ways and means to air those differences.” BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu has been at loggerheads with the Akali Dal leadership since last year. As the BJP’s star campaigner in the Haryana elections, he had stated that there was no reason for the BJP to support the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab. This was followed by withdrawal of Sidhu’s security which was later restored.

Loaders resent anti-labour policies
Ludhiana, November 17 They protested against the anti-labour policies of the Centre and the state government. Amar Singh Bhattian, general secretary of Punjab Palledar Union, warned the state government against implementation of its decision to hand over work of loading and unloading in the mandis to commission agents. “The move will prove fatal for more than 30,000 palledars in the grain markets as they will be rendered jobless,” he said. Making scathing attacks on the management of the FCI, Bhattian said the labour was being exploited under “no work – no pay” system being followed at the FCI depots. He demanded scrapping of the system and regular recruitment of labour at the depots. He asked the FCI authorities to provide employment on compassionate grounds to eligible family members of the deceased workers, streamline the employees’ provident fund, reinstatement of retrenched staff and payment of arrears of palledars working in grain markets. The leader also announced support of the union to protest in Delhi on December 5, 2014, and take out a state-level rally in Grain Market on November 28, 2014. District secretary of the CPI Kartar Singh Bowani condemned the anti-worker policies being pursued by the Centre and the state government. He said due to anti-people economic policies of the Centre, inflation was rising and prices of essential commodities had gone through the roof. The parties along with the trade unions would expose the evil designs of the NDA government and the SAD-BJP government in Punjab at the rally to be held on November 28, 2014, he added. Dr Arun Mitra, DP Maur, Kewal Singh, Ranjit Singh Kalyan, Jugraj Singh Hathhor, Gurmel Singh, Jeet Singh Hathoor, Karnail Singh Nathowal, Jagroop Singh Humbran, Soma Singh Raikot, Karnail Singh Latala, Deep Singh Machhiwara and Rajinder Singh Hathoor were also present.

IMA threatens to stop govt health schemes
Ludhiana, November 17 IMA members said they were running various government-funded health policies like Rashtriya Sehat Bima Yojna and Bhagat Puran Singh Bima Yojna at their respective hospitals. They have been running these policies at the hospitals for the past many years but all hospitals were constantly facing problems in the smooth functioning of these schemes. Insurance companies were constantly harassing them in various ways like non-payment of claims, delay in permission for cashless treatment, harassment at the hands of TPAs, raising unnecessary queries, unnecessary show-cause notices, software problems and DE-empanelment of hospitals without any trial. With all these acts, insurance companies were saving their money and at the same time health policy beneficiaries were suffering. Dr Sudhir Raj, president of the state chapter of the IMA, said: “The TPAs engaged by the insurance companies, hired by the government, were behaving in a strange and arrogant manner; while the government claims to encourage people to avail benefit of these schemes, the TPAs are telling the doctors to accept less number of cases for treatment/operations”. At first, these TPAs don’t issue pre-treatment authorisation. Later, they delay and deny the payments of doctors on one pretext or another, he added. Dr Amandeep Aggarwal, state Joint Secretary, said: “The TPAs shall not be allowed to empanel and de-empanel hospitals at their whims and fancies without assigning any reasons.” Dr Sudhir Raj said the association had sent a memorandum to the authorities and sought their intervention. “In case these issues are not resolved in the next three weeks, we would be forced to stop all works related to government schemes across the state” he said.

Poor road irks
commuters Khanna, November 17 In a written application to the ADC, Khanna, several residents of Manupur, She, Goh, Saloudi, Barwali
villages and some other villages said the Khanna-Khamano road was the shortest and busiest road connecting both main roads and it connects Chandigarh. They said a number of students of the area often go to Khanna for getting education but the condition of the road was worse. They said about 10-km stretch up to Barwali is in a poor condition. In this stretch, stones were laid by the department concerned but this stretch was waiting for recarpeting and repair work from the past over six months and now potholes have occurred at various places. Commuters going to Khanna and towards the Khamano side had to take other routes to reach their destinations. Residents had demanded immediate recarpeting of the stretch as the winter season was round the corner. They have also demanded to widen the road along with its repair as they said a part of this stretch falling in Fatehgarh Sahib district was widened some years ago while repair work was not done on this stretch. They warned that they would resort to protest if the road was not repaired immediately. When the ADC, Khanna, was contacted in this regard he said he had received a letter in this regard and had directed the department concerned to repair the stretch as soon as possible.
