Decks cleared for PU poll Chandigarh, October 30 The tribunal was looking into the complaint filed by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarathi Parishad saying the two presidential candidates were ineligible because they were involved in non-bailable offences which the university calendar said took away their right to contest the poll. The tribunal, however, went through the details and discovered that the candidates were not involved in any ‘horrendous crime’. The university also had precedents in previous elections where candidates in a similar situation were allowed to contest. To put the records straight Malwinder Singh Kang (Panjab University Student Union- Haryana Students Association- Himachal Pradesh Students Union) alliance is pitted against Harveer Singh (Students Organisation of Panjab University-Association of Panjab University Students alliance) and Deepak Balyan (ABVP). Interestingly another name — Harveer Singh (Department of Economics) figured in the list of presidential candidates which SOPU said was a smart election ploy of PUSU. The candidate, however, withdrew from the race leaving only the SOPU candidate Harveer Singh from the Department of Ancient History in the fray. The candidates for general secretary are Satender Pratap Dahiya (PUSU panel), Birjyot Singh ‘Brandy’ ( SOPU panel) and Saurabh Joshi( ABVP); for post of vice president are Kanika Sachdeva (PUSU panel); Tapinder Kaur (SOPU panel) Poonam Gupta (ABVP); and for joint secretary are Vijay Chauhan (PUSU panel), Raman Chandel (SOPU panel) and Vishal Diddi(ABVP). There are reports of an altercation between supporters of the ABVP and SOPU in the Basic Medical Sciences block today. The press conferences today basically pertained to allegations, rebuttals and counter allegations. All three
press The ABVP said the university was being partial to the rival student groups by allowing them to contest the elections despite the constitution clearly saying that anyone involved in a non-bailable offence would be debarred from elections. Deepti Rawat, general secretary of the Delhi University Students Union, campaigning for the ABVP said the parishad was committed to national issues which the students must realise. The SOPU panel said the university was biased in favour of PUSU by allowing Malwinder Singh Kang to contest the elections. The department Chairman had clearly said that the medical certificate under question had been submitted by Kang. The university did not even trust a chairman which was ‘atrocious’ and why did the university not look deeper into the matter, it was pointed out. SOPU also alleged that the PUSU candidate would be debarred from his admission in the Law Department because he did not fulfill the lecture condition even in the first semester which will be decided a few days later. This was, however, denied by the PUSU panel later which said Kang was in the jail for a majority of the time under the question and the university would have to take that into account. During the same period the SOPU presidential candidate was also in jail so even he would be faced with a similar problem. Meanwhile, qualitative issues related to academics do not seem to be central to the party agenda of all student organisations in the fray for the forthcoming elections to the Panjab University Campus Students Council slated for November 1. Poll promises run into pages, a majority of which are repeated year after year. It is amazing that there is no mention about the falling education standards and less priority being given to education by the government in the Budget. Little space is given to issues like upgrading the academic status, while more emphasis is on matters like “grace marks”, “re-appear chance” and “improvement chance in results” by all groups. The Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad highlights its commitment to “revision of Master of Computer Application syllabus on a yearly basis” without mentioning other courses. PUSU says “Syllabii of all departments, especially professional courses, will be revised”. One fails to understand why it does not spell out the details of the problem even in the rallies as to what were the specific areas of concern. A former president of the campus council said laughingly “We pick up the agenda of previous years and upgrade it by adding some current problems. A lot of time during elections is spent on sorting out the inter and intra-political equations. There is no time left to deliberate on the real issues”. Girls’ hostels are favourite spots for the election campaign for all parties. Despite the university’s fixed time of 9 p.m. for campaigning in the girls’ hostels, loud noises can be heard till 11 p.m. One interesting agenda item of the Students Organisation of Panjab University mentions “beautification of the girls hostels”. “Why should boys hostels be discriminated against?” a research scholar asks. Repeated references to canteen facilities in all departments make it sound as if canteens were non-existent on the campus despite facilities at a dozen odd places, besides the shops at the Students Centre. To make the stay on the campus more “luxurious”, the ABVP mentions installation of a music system to play soft music at the Students Centre, like on the Sukhna lake”. Another demand pertains to installation of a snooker table at the Students Centre. All press conferences at election rallies only pertain to allegations and counter-allegations, pushing the academic issues to the background. SOPU has now questioned the decision of the university in allowing the PUSU candidate Malwinder Singh Kang to contest the elections despite the chairman of his department saying that he had submitted a fake medical certificate. The ABVP is questioning the university as to why both the rival groups were being allowed to contest despite their names in non-bailable offences. The list of SOPU’s achievements reads: “water cooler was installed and car parking was constructed in the BMS block; bathrooms were renovated in all hostels and funds for dressing room has been sanctioned in the Sports Department; a TV set, furniture for guest room of girls hostel; parking lot was constructed in girls’ hostel; fashion show was organised by top models of India; small gates were constructed in respective girls hostels; and late entry hours extended for girls,” to name a few. Students in the affiliated colleges in the city, too, have certain interesting demands. Students in SD College want the college not to levy any fine on carrying mobile telephone sets and girls be allowed to leave the campus at 11 a.m. instead of the existing provision of 12 noon. Girls of Government College, Sector 46, want that the class duration of 45 minutes instead of the existing provision of one hour. |

PU ELECTION Chandigarh, October 30 At GGDSD College, Sector 32, the campaign went on in full spirit which was marred by a group clash towards the end. The day also witnessed withdrawal of nomination by one of the presidential candidates, Jagandeep Singh Dhillon, leaving three in the fray. Another incident in which a student of MCM DAV College was debarred from contesting, dampened the spirit among students. Gurvinder Sidhu, a former vice-president of the college, was not allowed to contest as she crossed the upper age limit. Even her effort to field one of her supporters against Ruchi Kaushal, who is the sole candidate for the post of president, was foiled by the Principal, Ms Usha Gupta, on the ground that the nomination of the candidate reached the election committee after 11am, the deadline for submitting nominations. The Government College, Sector 46, chief returning officer, Prof Ajit Singh Bhatia, had given an order to the contestants and their supporters not to campaign on the campus except for making personal appeal to the voters. However, the orders could not mar the soaring spirit as a huge number of supporters of the SOPU, the ABVP and the Students Union of Government College alliance and the ruling PUSU supporters stood near the gate carrying posters. In contrast to the boys’ colleges, the women’s colleges mainly the Dev Samaj College for Women, Sector 45, and the Government College for Girls, Sector 42, wore a deserted look. GCG, Sector 42, which will see the polling between two main parties namely the ABVP and the SOPU have also ceased their campaigning procedure, whereas for Dev Samaj College, all candidates are contesting independently. Contestants of Government College for Girls, Sector 11, which started campaigning last evening after their nominations were accepted, carried on with full spirit. However, the college saw the maximum number of withdrawals with Nidhi Takiar withdrawing from the post of president, Harita Verma from the post of vice-president and Jyoti Dahiya from the post of joint secretary. However, this paved the way for Ambika Sharma to win the election uncontested. Meanwhile, the election committee of various colleges are gearing up to face the D-day, i.e. Friday. Dr P.K. Bajaj, Returning Officer, SD College, today held a meeting to educate candidates and representatives who will be acting as polling agents. The polling will start at 10 am and expected to be continued till 1 pm. No student will be allowed to vote without showing his or her photo ID-card. “With the festive season and a short vacation approaching just after the elections, we are expecting about 60 per cent voters turn out this year,” says Ms Gupta. |

Clash averted in DAV College Stray incidents of minor scuffles between rival groups marked the last day of campaigning in city colleges today. The day began with a heated exchange between supporters of the DAV Students Union-DAV Students Association combine and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. However, the clash averted due to the police deployment outside the college. Sources said supporters of the two groups, not college students but outsiders, locked horns on the college premises while raising slogans in favour of their respective candidates. The college Principal, Mr S.C. Marriya, said tension between the two groups had been eased and students were given a holiday tomorrow to enable Divali celebrations on the campus. Meanwhile, a similar incident was reported from GGDSD College, Sector 32, between supporters of candidates of the two contesting parties, the SOPU and the ABVP. This triggered a demand for withdrawal of nominations of Dalvir Singh Goldy, the presidential candidate of the SOPU, for assaulting Rohit Khullar of the ABVP. The Principal, Dr A.C. Vaid, said the matter had been deferred till tomorrow and efforts would be made to work out a compromise between the two parties. |

BSNL fails to keep promise Chandigarh, October 30 On October 25, the Chief General Manager, Telecom, Punjab Circle, Mr S.C. Chaudhary, had held a press
conference to announce that mobile phone services will be launched in Ludhiana on October 27, followed by Chandigarh on October 30. The launch in Ludhiana was on time. Today hundreds of prospective mobile phone users thronged the local offices of the BSNL in Sectors 18, 17 and 34. Armed with newspaper cuttings, telecom officials just shrugged their shoulders in desperation over the matter as they could
practically do nothing to reply to questions. Sources said the local telecom office did not
receive any SIM cards used to activate mobile phones from the authorities. There was no communication which was conveyed to the members of the public regarding the fresh date of launch. Forms to apply for connections not available and no one knows when the process will start. Sources indicate that some trained staff from Ludhiana was also put on duty in Chandigarh, however, no one knows why the launch was stalled. The CGMT, Mr Chaudhary, was unavailable at his office or residence for comments . The same was true for Mr R.C.Vaish, the Principal General Manager, Telecom (PGMT), Chandigarh. |
Holiday bonanza for govt employees Chandigarh, October 30 If an employee in the Chandigarh Administration applies for a restricted holiday on November 6 (Wednesday) — occasion of Bhaiyya Duuj — and applies for two leave on Thursday and Friday, he would have to return to work on November 11 (Monday). This makes it a good nine-day break. In Chandigarh, the weekend starts from November 2 (Saturday). In Punjab and Haryana, November 1 (Friday) is a closed day. With Divali falling on Monday and Vishvakarma day on Tuesday, the mega weekend means work in government offices will come to a halt during this period. Employees in the private sector are aghast at the long weekend the government employees will enjoy. Already, visitors to various government offices are being advised to come after Divali. As government employees gear up to go on leave, it has turned out to be a boon for those whose families live in nearby towns. This means they can be with their families before Divali. In the offices, the festive spirit has already taken over work as people are preparing for Divali. |

Those who spoke on the occasion included Haryana Patarkar Sangh President K.B Pandit, who lauded the welfare schemes launched by the Chandigarh-Punjab Union of Journalists.

A journey down memory lane For years she had been waiting to get back to the city beautiful, where she spent a larger part of her childhood. After 10 years, she found time to revisit nostalgia. And as she unwound she had a lot of things to talk about — from her days in the Carmel Convent to her academic stint at GCG-11. Poonam had to leave regular college to take her first major break in Noorie. Later she sought education through correspondence. As far as reel roles go, she always had her fill. Not only did she manage substantial roles in Noorie, Yeh Wada raha and Sohni Mahiwal, she also passed through the profession with dignity. And after proving herself in the presence of Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Shantrughan Sinha and others, she quietly stepped aside in the late 20s. Marriage came right after the glory of stardom. For sometime things went well and when they ceased to, Poonam stepped aside yet again, with her two kids whom she adores more than anyone else. In her new avataar, Poonam will soon be directing a film. “I am doing a fun film. The cast is to be finalised. I will start shooting next year,” told the actress, who is keeping her fingers crossed in the hope that she repeats her glory in a different frame. Conscious of the fact that people still love her, Poonam is using her image to help the less fortunate ones. She works on a regular basis with social organisations like the National Association for the Blind, We Care and many more. “Interacting with these people brings me immense satisfaction. I feel fulfilled.” |

Jacob showcases Chandigarh in IT fair Chandigarh, October 30 Bangalore is surely the Silicon Valley of the South but Chandigarh is emerging as the technology destination of North India. I would invite you to set up your industries in Chandigarh, said General Jacob as he asked some of the biggest names in the IT industry to come to Chandigarh. Software exports from Chandigarh are likely to touch Rs 100 crore this year. Microsoft has signed an agreement with the Chandigarh Administration and has set up a Centre of Excellence. Leading IT companies, including Net Solutions, Smart Data, IDS Infotech, Seasia, E3R and Global Back Office are present in the city. Call centres are also coming up in a big way. Biotechnology is also being promoted in Chandigarh. A number of national level institutes like the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH), the PGI, the Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) and Panjab University, are present in the city. At the Chandigarh Technology Park we are now in the process of allotting sites for large and small campuses. We are also setting up an Entrepreneur Development Centre at the park. STPI is setting up and optical fibre node at the park to provide connectivity to occupants of the Technology Park. General Jacob said deliberations at this conference would go a long way in highlighting the need for constant upgradation of facilities and skills in the I.T. Sector. General Jacob invited all to visit Chandigarh and see the quality of infrastructure that is being set up for the technology industry. Chandigarh is the hub of North India. It is the best-planned city in the country with a quality of life, which is of a very high order. A recent survey has placed Chandigarh as No. 1 in respect of Human Development Index and Per-Capita Income. The power and telecom infrastructure is far superior to most Indian cities. City has now been wired with an optical fibre network. The availability of bandwidth is as per the requirement of the IT industry. Human resources in Chandigarh are amongst the best. The work force available in the city is highly qualified and skilled. The PEC is being upgraded to the level of a deemed university. Another engineering college has been set up which offers courses in computer science and electronics engineering. |

SPOTLIGHT — 17-A The market scattered in Anand Complex, Jagat cinema and Income Tax office is yet to be known as such but is rather recognised for number of offices in the area. It has rather made itself known through its leadership in the hands of Kamaljit Panchhi and L. C. Arora who have been very vocal on the front of the Chandigarh Beopar Mandal. With the infrastructure lacking in the area, the market seems only suitable for wholesale business depending as it is on retail business from office goers in the vicinity. It is tied so much to the office goers that the market was the first to oppose the Chandigarh Administration's offer of opening shopping malls on Sundays, the holiday for employees in the area. The market feels the acute problem of being ignored by the authorities as shopkeepers do not have votes in the ward it falls. This has forced the market association to again demand that it should be taken out of the purview of the Municipal Corporation to be brought again under the Chandigarh Administration's control. Though the market attracts visitors in thousands, yet they do not purchase from here. Most of the visitors here are office goers. The association here is very cohesive and has been contributing to national causes in terms of collecting relief for Gujarat earthquake and drought in Rajasthan and Gujarat earlier. Mr Panchhi said the association collected Rs 51,000 for the Gujarat earthquake and Rs 31,000 for drought relief. Allotments of the market were done in 1965 and Jagat cinema came up around mid seventies. Shops in the Jagat complex were the first ones to have come up in the area. This complex houses shops of photographers, clothes, electronics and eateries. The Anand Complex has around 50 shops operating from 18 odd shops with a power load of 6 KV allotted to the cinema hall that could not function. The cinema hall is under liquidation and all tenants deposit their rent in the court. The lack of connectivity with the bustling market areas of C, D and E of Sector 17 has also been dragging down the business of the ignored part of market in the heart of the city. The market area behind the Anand Complex and towards the Haryana Vigilance Bureau is faced with the parking problem due to the arrangement for roadside parking. This area also has 10 to 12 shops. The four parts of the market in Anand Complex, Jagat cinema, Income Tax building and the area towards the Haryana Vigilance Bureau in all may have 60 to 70 shops with only few big names. The Anand Complex was to come up with the two adjoining cinema halls: Anand and Ganesh. But the plot allotted to Ganesh cinema hall has yet to see any construction. It is rather being used for urination by visitors and shopkeepers who have also been demanding a toilet in the area. He said though the market has seen concretisation in terms of big buildings, yet it still remained the most neglected one with an address carrying a premium due to the failure of the promised infrastructure. Mr Swaraj Singh said despite being in the Sector 17 market, it seemed so far and cut off that nobody knew there existed a place for shopping in the Sector 17 Market. He said the green patch between the market and the Bridge Market had not ever seen any lights, thereby preventing visitors to the happening markets of Sector 17 C, D and E even to consider coming here. Despite odds, it is identifiable with Income Tax office, Canadian Consulate, Jagat cinema, Anand Complex, Pandey Book Shop for curriculum books, Handa and Chopra, Godrej dealers, Babu Ram and Company, Update, Showfine for cloths, L. Sheng for Chinese shoes, City Photo Shop, M. K. Electronics, Hot Bread, Deepak Printer Graphics, Casio Gallery, City Book Shop, New Traders and Prema Stamp. The best known offices in the area are: State Transport Corporation of Haryana, LIC, Canadian Consulate, LIC, Labour Bureau and Haryana Vigilance Bureau. |

Chandigarh, October 30
