AMBALA DIARY Ambala, January 22 Incidentally, the badminton team of MDSD Girls College has won the second prize at an inter-college competition. The team comprised Jagjeet, Deepti, Lalita and Jyoti Jagjeet Kaur has also been selected for the All-India Badminton Inter-university Championship. Ambala girls have also performed better than boys at the Haryana State Taewondo Championship held at Rohtak. The championship was held at MD University Sports Complex. A 17-member team comprising 12 boys and five girls participated in the tournament. In sub-junior boys, Ankit won bronze medal in 21-33 kg weight category while Ajit Kumar won silver medal in 32-35 kg weight category. In sub-junior girls, Kavita won gold medal in weight up to 18 kg and Sapana won silver medal in weight category of 29 to 32 kg besides Monika Bagga winning a bronze medal in 32-35 kg weight category. In senior girls, Vanita Bagga won a bronze medal in 47-51 kg weight category. The total medal haul by the Ambala team was one gold, two silver and three bronze. * * * REGULATE TRAFFIC: The Ambala Cantonment Traders’ Federation has sought remedial measures to regulate traffic particularly on the Jagadhri road between Indra Chowk and the Tangri river. Mr M.C. Jain, chairman of the federation, said the road map of the town needs to be redrawn so as to make the area accident free. He said a road divider followed by a major drive against encroachments in the Mahesh Nagar-Gobind Nagar area would provide enough space for four-lane traffic up to the Tangri river. He said the connecting road originating from the Jagadhari Road for Babyal village and passing through Mahesh Nagar-Dayal Bagh has become congested for vehicles. A bypass should be provided by separating the parade ground area behind Mahesh Nagar with a wide road running parallel to the existing road. Also to reduce traffic load, the possibility of diverting Ambala-Saha-Yamuna Nagar traffic through the national highway could be looked into. * * * TRAINING CAMP: The IFFCO organised a day-long training programme for rural women at hasanpur. The programme was organised by Mr S.P.S. Pawar and about 75 women participated in it. Dr Sunita Ahuja of Krisha Vigyan Kendra taught the participants a number of issues including how to make different food products. Mr S.P. Singh of IFFCO said while their organisation stresses on giving balanced ingredients for plant growth, they are also keen that a person should have healthy food. It is a misconception that only expensive food items are healthy, he said.
