SC dismisses plea on enhanced water, Ludhiana, September 7 According to Mr Raminder Singh, Additional Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, the MC Legal Adviser, Mr Ashok Bazaz, appeared in the apex court and filed a counter affidavit against the special leave petition (SLP) filed by Mr Rakesh Pandey, MLA. The MC pleaded before the court that huge funds, at times diverted from other heads, were spent to provide safe drinking water and sewerage facility to public, while the revenue generated from the water and sewerage charges was only a small percentage of the actual expenditure. Talking to Ludhiana Tribune, Mr Raminder Singh said that the water and sewerage charges were enhanced in accordance with a government notification in August 1993. Opposing the hike, two separate civil writ petitions were filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The petitions were dismissed through a detailed order on September 10, 1998, by a single judge and the decision was later confirmed by a Double Bench of the High Court. Thereafter, one of the petitioners, Mr Rakesh Pandey, a Congress legislator representing Ludhiana North constituency, filed an SLP in the Supreme Court of India on April 26, 1999. While issuing the notice to the MC, the court ordered that ‘‘pending further orders, no recovery of the enhanced tax shall be made pursuant to the order under challenge from the petitioner.’’ The SLP again came up for hearing on December 6, 1999, when the court granted leave to appeal to the petitioners and it was also ordered that ‘‘the interim order passed on April 26, 1999, shall operate pending the disposal of appeal.’’ The MC Additional Commissioner further observed that it was at this stage that certain vested interests deliberately misinterpreted the interim order of the apex court and issued press statements to the effect that the Supreme Court had accepted the appeal and stayed the recovery of enhanced charges from all city residents. However, the fact remained that neither the appeal of the petitioner was allowed nor recovery of the tax, except from the petitioner, was stayed. The prayer of the petitioner, made through an interim application, to stay the recovery of enhanced water and sewerage charges from all city residents in view of the fact that the petition was filed in public interest, was disallowed by the court after considering the documents on record and pleading of the contesting parties. Mr Raminder Singh made an appeal to the general public to deposit the water and sewerage charges, including arrears if any, in time and avail the statutory rebate to avoid the payment of penal interest and other consequences. The MC, he added, would stand by its commitment of providing best possible services in all civic fields. |

Arya College closed for
two days Ludhiana, September 7 The students and teachers who came to attend the college were told that the college would remain closed for two days and reopen on Monday. The members of the management maintained their hold on the administrative block of the college with their own locks. The students went on strike yesterday to protest against the suspension orders issued to Mr V.K. Mehta for ‘‘disobeying lawful orders of the managing committee’’. Mr S.S. Verma, Head of Physics Department, had been appointed officiating principal of the college by the working president of the Arya Pratinidhi Parishad, Dr K.K. Pasricha. Besides, Lala Lajpat Rai, MP and president of the college committee, had favoured the orders passed by Dr Pasricha. Mr V.K. Mehta said that he felt as if he was caught in the fight between the two factions of the management. He said that the college management committee may rethink over the issue and he was waiting for its final decision. Meanwhile, at a meeting of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), it was decided that the managing committee of the college be urged to reopen the college to maintain academic environment on the campus. Stating this in a press note, Mr Sandeep Kapoor, president, ABVP, said that students should not be made to suffer because of the tussle between two groups of the management. Mr Mohit Goyal, general secretary, said that the ABVP had also decided to organise a one-day camp on survey of demands of college students in which the students would be told to list their problems and a memorandum regarding the major demands of the students would be given to the principal. Besides, a meeting of the Arya College Old Students Association was also held in which they decided to urge the college management committee to solve their differences outside the educational institute. Mr Jiwan Dhawan, senior vice-president, said that politics should be kept out of the college and conducive atmosphere should be restored in the college. |

Undertrial
died of poisoning: report Ludhiana, September 7 In what might put some employees of the local Central Jail in the dock, the new findings based on the examination of the viscera of the deceased, said that the cause of death was spreading of poison in the body after the consumption of a strong insecticide, suspected to be Celphos. The new findings meant that the undertrial’s death was not as normal as it was reportedly made out to be by the jail staff. Police sources said this new turn in the case had raised some pertinent questions, including how the poison was brought into the jail despite the fool-proof security claims by the jail staff and whether the case was of suicide or murder as the relatives of the deceased had alleged some foul play behind the death of the undertrial. A police official, requesting anonymity, said a fresh inquiry would have to be launched into the case as after the new report it had taken a complete U-turn. He said whether the undertrial committed suicide or was administered poison but laxity on the part of the jail staff was definitely there. Surjit Singh, an ex-serviceman, was found dead under mysterious circumstances on January 30. He was facing trial in a dowry death case. According to the statements of the then Jail Superintendent, the undertrial was not keeping good health and had died due to some illness. However, the relatives of the deceased had accused the jail staff of playing a dubious role in the case. The relatives had alleged that the undertrial had a tiff with some other inmates of the jail and was having some problems with some jail employees. The relatives were quoted in press reports as saying that as Surjit Singh was in good health, they found it impossible to digest the shocking news of his death due to some illness. Police sources said the post-mortem report could not decide the cause of the death and thus the viscera and the heart of the deceased had to be sent to the State Chemical and Examiner’s Laboratory, Patiala. While the viscera examination report was received after seven months, one other report was still awaited. Sources said the heart was sent for examination as there was suspicion of death due to cardiac arrest. A doctor in the Civil Hospital here said though it was almost certain that the death was due to poison, but still the heart examination report would be required for final decision. Mr G S Sidhu, Superintendent Jails, when contacted, said he was not in a position to comment on the case. |

Mobile-phone thefts set the bell
ringing Ludhiana, September 7 While some of the victims have approached the police, local cinema-hall owners are upset at the incidents. At least one of them has even put up caution notices outside the hall to warn cinegoers about the risk of carrying sets inside the hall. Sources said about 15 mobile telephones had been stolen from a local cinema hall in the past one month only. Most incidents took place on Fridays and Sundays when the hall is packed. Sources said hall owners did not know how to stop the incidents as they could not identity the thieves. Most of the time, the theft is reported at the end of the movie, by which time, the thief has already vanished from there. While owners of the other cinema halls have not put up such boards, similar incidents have been reported from their halls as well. Some of them said on the condition of anonymity that pickpockets were always active in cinema halls, but lately, they have developed a fancy for mobile telephone sets. A cinema-hall owner said, “Mobile telephones are usually attached to waist-belts and thieves simply cut the case and slip away with the set.” Hall owners said they felt relieved on a day when no theft was reported. They said, “While jewellery and wallets were often stolen earlier, mostly from crowded places outside the halls. However, the stealing of mobile telephones has given them a reason to worry. |

Burglary
under the nose of cops Ludhiana, September 7 It seems that the burglars made a boy enter the shop through a small exhaust-fan hole, after dismantling the fan. Sources said owners of Rajindra Readymade Garments had lost about Rs 50,000 in the theft. Apart from some valuables, cash was also stolen from the shop. Shop owners came to know of the theft when the opened the shop today. Fingerprint experts and dog squad were also pressed into service. Sources said the burgalry, that took place right under its nose, was embarrassing for the police. |

Indian cotton highly contaminated:
expert Ludhiana, September 7 Addressing the farmers, Dr Kolar said, ‘‘Continuously changing environmental conditions with increasing rains during the past couple of years have become a serious threat to the cultivation of cotton in Punjab and the adjoining states. Such a weather is highly conducive for the multiplication of insects and pests as a result of which American bollworm has become a very serious pest. The farmers are using too much of insecticides which, besides causing development of resistance in pest, has increased the cost of cultivation of cotton. Such a heavy investment on insecticides is making cotton an uneconomical crop under the prevailing market prices’’. He further said that cotton being the raw material of spinning mills was priced according to the quality of lint determined mainly by the properties of fibre. But external contamination in the form of cut seeds, soiled and damaged bolls, dry leaves, hairs, plastic, feathers, paper and white and coloured threads, sand, dust etc. drastically lower its spinnability as a result of which mills offered very low price to the farmers, he said. Dr Kolar said that in such a situation cotton was not only being sold at low price but even the mill owners had been forced to import clean cotton from other countries. While telling the farmers about some precautionary measures, Dr Kolar said, ‘‘Picking of cotton should be started in the morning only after the dew gets dried. The cotton should not be stacked on the ground in the field. Instead a clean cotton cloth should be used to spread the cotton so that it gets dried and does not mix with dried grass and leaves. Jute bags should not be used to stack cotton’’. Dr Kolar also advised the farmers to pick all lower-most opened bolls so that dry leaves may not fall before picking upper-opened bolls. Only well-opened bolls should be picked because half-opened bolls had immature seeds, which get pressed with lint while ginning, he said. He further suggested that the trolley should be thoroughly cleaned before loading cotton and it should be covered with clean cotton cloth and the store should be kept closed to avoid dust and other impurities. Cotton of different varieties should not be stored at the same place but should be kept separately, he said. |

Someone
put brakes on truckers’ rivalry Ludhiana, September 7 The head of the Sahnewal Truck Union is Avtar Singh Chahal of Harnampur village who has now settled at Sahnewal. He is already facing trials on several charges, including the murder of a youth at Doraha. The rival factions of the union are headed by Gurdeep Singh ‘Bhola’, who is one of the accused in the murder case, and Charanjitjit Singh ‘Charni’, brother of Jang Singh. Both have been heads of the union earlier. Past year, the rivalry between these groups had reached a flashpoint when the groups threatened each other. Some neutral persons made the groups reach a compromise, after which, Avtar Singh Chahal was unanimously elected the union head. However, the Bhola faction did not enjoy good relations with Chahal as he reportedly played into the hands of the Charni group. When the union elections were to be held on July 20, the Charni group wanted to renominate Chahal the head, but the Bhola group opposed this move. Somehow, Chahal was renominated to the post, which was not accepted by the Bhola group that wanted the union president be elected democratically. Subsequently, the Bhola faction appointed Pappu of Sani village the union president on its own, which led to a confrontation. The rivalry made the factions file separate tenders for the FCI contract for the lifting of paddy. Due to the rivalry, the union could not dictate its terms and had to lower its rates, mainly because, now, there were two contenders for the contract. Yesterday, representatives both groups had come to file the tenders when an altercation between Bhola and Charni led to the clash. Charni was with his brother, Jang Singh. Reportedly, the brothers stepped out of a car and tried to assault Bhola, who was sitting in his Alto car, with hockey sticks. They also broke the windscreen of his car. When Bhola allegedly fired in the air, Jang Singh reportedly tried to grab his rifle. The next shot that Bhola fired allegedly hit Jang Singh and he died because of it. Past year also, there had been a scuffle between two factions at the time of filing separate tenders. Even then, the police had registered cases against members of both groups and released them only after they had reached a compromise. The Sahnewal Truck Union, like many other such unions, is not a registered body and it has been formed with a view to getting better rates for the service. However, the body got divided soon as interests of some leading truck owners clashed. The killing is likely to further intensify the enmity and lead to more violence. Leading transporters have expressed concern over the incident. |
Badal making state bankrupt: Dullo Mandi Gobindgarh, September 7 Coming down heavily on the Chief Minister, the MP said while unemployment had acquired alarming dimensions during his regime, his family was busy in amassing wealth. All posts, from peons to officers, were auctioned, he alleged, adding that those appointed on keyposts and given desired postings were made to pay a large amount of money monthly. He said Mr Badal had made the state bankrupt, and added that it was under a debt of Rs 28,000 crore, which it owed to the Central Government. Mr Dullo claimed that the Congress would come to power after the assembly elections. Criticising the ‘sangat darshan’ programmes, the MP said it was just a political stunt started by Mr Badal in the election year. Speaking on the law and order situation in the state, Mr Dullo said incidents of robberies, kidnappings, contract killings, etc, had increased during SAD-BJP regime. He resented that instead of attending the bhog of innocent people killed by the militants, Mr Badal chose to attend the bhog of militants killed by the police. Mr Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, a former minister, Mr Sadhu Ram Bhatmajra, block president, Sirhind, Mr D. R. Sood, Mr Lakhbir Singh Advocate, Mr Gurdev Singh Amloh and Mr Gurdev Singh Khanian also addressed the gathering. |

Congress
charged with political opportunism Ludhiana, September 7 The president of the council, Mr Amrit Lal Aggarwal, said in a statement here today that the farsighted electorate would deliver their verdict once again in favour of the SAD-BJP combine and Mr Parkash Singh Badal would form the next government after the coming assembly elections. He said the Akali Dal-led government had successfully completed its full term for the first time, creating a new history. But this also went on to prove that it was the Congress which somehow or the other would “engineer” the removal of the Akali government in the past. The government headed by Mr Badal had completed its term only because the Congress was not in power in the Centre. Mr Aggarwal claimed that the state had achieved allround development, peace and prosperity under the regime of the present government. |

‘Pay kharcha or we cut your
parcha’ Ludhiana, September 7 And the cops, who are always on the lookout for easy money, executed a fine swoop, not allowing any of the gamblers to slip away. All of them were asked to empty their pockets. Having no other alternative, the gamblers obeyed and thanked God that they were not taken to the police station and booked under the Gambling Act. Obviously, the cops were satisfied with having got about Rs 6000 as a result of the brief operation carried out by them. The incident is not one of its kind. Large amounts of recovery are never shown in cases under the Gambling Act which are few and far between compared to the volume of gambling that goes on unabated in the city. In most of the cases, the booty is divided amongst the members of the raiding party according to the ranks. In fact, this seems to be the motto of the city cops, “Pay up
kharcha”, or we cut your parcha, meaning, pay up our expenses or get booked. No matter what crime you are doing, you can ensure your safety if you meet the ilaqa thanedar and work out a settlement. But if you want to carry on with your criminal or illegal activity on the sly without bothering to pay the cops’ “due share”, you would be inviting trouble. Only about a week ago, some satta bookies, who had been operating in a particular area of the city, without paying any money to the thanedar concerned, were called to the police station. They were asked to collect Rs 15,000 every month amongst themselves as “kharcha
pani” for the cops. The bookies held mutual consultations and arrived at the decision that they were not in a position to pay such an exorbitant ‘monthly’. So when they expressed their inability to raise the hefty amount every month, a “Parcha” booking all of them under the Gambling Act was sprung upon. More and more gambling dens are coming up in the city in view of the approaching Divali season, which is also the gambling season. And just as the gambler fraternity of the town is gearing up to have a busy time ahead, the city cops are also twirling their moustaches in anticipation of their share in the business. |

DYC urges police to check gambling, betting Ludhiana, September 7 In a memorandum submitted to the district police chief, Mr
H.S. Sidhu, here yesterday, the DYC President, Mr Parminder Mehta, said over 40 per cent of the city’s population was heading towards financial ruination as a result of their direct or indirect involvement in gambling, betting and lotteries. The menace was so widespread in several city localities that it smacked of active police connivance at various levels. The DYC activists further drew the attention of the police authorities towards unrestricted sale of drugs and other intoxicants, illicit liquor and banned medicines all over the city, which were playing havoc with the young generation. Similarly, the unabated sale and distribution of obscene literature and exhibition of dirty movies also needed to be checked with a heavy hand. Mr Mehta made a fervent plea with the SSP to streamline the system of division level police-public meetings, which had, of late, been reduced to a farce. “More often than not, certain select persons, often dubious characters are called at these meetings, who waste the time in praising the police officers, while the genuine members of the public, who could raise matters of public interest, are kept away.” The DYC also focussed on chaotic traffic conditions in the city, which called for drastic and immediate corrective measures. Mr Mehta pointed out that lack of coordination between the traffic police, MC staff and the Transport Department had led to complete failure of several plans for improvement in traffic conditions in the city. Violation of traffic norms by mini bus drivers and three wheeler operators within the old city, coupled with massive encroachments, all over the city, had resulted in frequent traffic jams and congestion even on main roads and the flow of traffic had been seriously restrained. The DYC made a plea for modernisation of traffic cops and to provide them better means of communication and conveyance for effective enforcement. |

Women still vulnerable to indecent
behaviour Ludhiana, September 7 This indecent behaviour refers to various forms of sexual abuse directed at women, including verbal, psychological, physical, suggestive remarks, looks or jokes and in extreme cases include unwanted touching, eve-teasing, molestation or even rape, according to a recent study on violence against women. No wonder than that headlines like, ‘Man attempts to rape sister-in-law’, ‘Student allegedly molested by advisor’, ‘Minor girl abducted and raped’, ‘Dalit woman raped and murdered’, or ‘Woman paraded naked’ and similar other stories have become a routine. This is happening at a time when much is claimed about emancipation and empowerment of women. Despite tall claims women continue to be vulnerable to these kind indecent behaviour. Now as the nation prepares to celebrates the World Literacy Day, social and voluntary organisations hope that efforts will be made to educate people to respect women. A recent study conducted by Rainuka Dagar on ‘Combating violence against women in Punjab’ conducted by the Institute For Development And Communication, Chandigarh, shows that in Punjab the reported crimes against women from 1991 to 2000 reveal a phenomenal increase. In 1991, 34 cases of rape were reported to the police which increased to 310 in 2000 — an increase of over 800 per cent. In a similar
timespan, molestations increased from seven to 323. In a study of atrocities against women, it was found that for every reported rape case, 68 rapes went unreported, for every reported molestation, 374 went unreported and for every reported case of eve teasing as many as 9,177 went unreported. There has been a gradual increase in crime against women in Ludhiana district itself. Twentyfive cases of abduction and kidnapping were reported to the police in 1992. In 1996, 33 such cases were reported whereas in 1999, the number of cases increased to 51. The cases of abduction and kidnapping had almost doubled during these years. Seven cases of rape were reported to the Ludhiana police in 1992 whereas in 1999, 42 rape cases were reported, which meant there had been five times increase in rape cases in the district. Ms Asha Singh, a Patiala-based lecturer in Psychology, while talking to Ludhiana Tribune, said in Punjab the indecent behaviour against women was institutionalised and supported by the deep-rooted social norms and beliefs. Sexuality was still considered to be the domain of man. If indulging in such activities, man was considered to have real masculine qualities, she added. Ms Rajesh Gill, Reader in the department of Sociology, Panjab University, believed there had been a change in the
society. The women had become more expressive and less tolerant. ‘‘They are no longer submissive and have learnt to defend themselves. Such cases happened earlier also but were not visible as the females did not retaliate. The media also did not highlight the crime against women. But now the cases against women violence are reported almost every day,’’ added Ms Gill. A city-based psychiatrist said that causes of indecent behaviour against females included the influence of alcohol, female appearance and beauty, lapse in conduct of women, uninhibitive female movement, absence of fear of reporting, laxity in legal and government processes and lack of protection. |

Selfless
service to humanity Ludhiana, September 7 In 1998 they christened their organisation as Banke Behari Sewa Samiti as they wanted to do service in God’s name. The society is engaged in multifarious activities. The volunteers get up early in the morning and serve milk to the poor patients of the ESI hospital. They serve “khichri” to the patients. They feed 125 patients on an average. The other volunteers serve porridge or
khichri, tea and paranthas to the needy patients of the Civil Hospital. They then serve the evening meal to the patients. The meal comprises dal and
chapati. They have hired a room and employed a cook to prepare food, tea, etc. All the members contribute Rs 1,000 to the cause of feeding the poor patients. But according to Mr Nihal
Chand, president, there is no dearth of people who are ready to supply sackfuls of rice and
dal. Many people provide the patients with medicines too. Sometimes the patients just walk off with the blankets of the hospital. The society members make it a point to take rounds of the hospitals in the thick of night to find if any patient is without a blanket. |

leg Ahmedgarh, September 7 According to the information provided by Mr Paramjit Singh Goraya, DSP, a police party stopped a truck at a naka. The driver of the truck, whose left leg was amputated from near the knee, showed only the driving licence and on the pretext of bringing documents of the vehicle he ran away after breaking the naka.
