Villagers rise in favour
of accused Ludhiana, January 2 Allegations and counter-allegations had been flowing in the village for the past one month when a group of villagers allegedly tried to plough this piece of land in the presence of around 18 persons. The opposite group had complained to the police and the Shimla Puri police had registered a case against 18 persons and seized four rifles, two tractors and a car. The villagers who have come up in support of Sher Jung Singh and his family have claimed that the land was originally given to fore-fathers of Sher Jung by one of the Sikh gurus and it was a declared Waqf property. The villagers further state that the land had been in possession of Sher Jung’s family for hundreds of years and it was surprisingly given on lease by Dilbagh Rai of the opposite group to an NRI, Ms Baldev Kaur. The villagers stated that this land was a part of 2,000 bighas given by Sikh Gurus in around 27 villages. Alleging that Dilbag Rai illegally executed a registered lease deed for 99 years in May, 2002, in favour of the NRI, the villagers said then Sher Jung Singh and his family had objected to it on grounds that vide government instructions (memo Mo. 11/39/82-J-II/Rv/1968, Chandigarh) the religious institutions couldn’t be disposed of by the mohatmims or mahants of these institutions in violation of the ‘Shahi Farman’. They claimed that the SDM-cum-ADC, Ludhiana, after upholding the objection rejected mutation Mo. 648 on October 8, 2002. “Infuriated over the rejection of mutation at the instance of Sher Jung Singh and brothers, Avtar Singh, attorney of Baldev Kaur, lodged an FIR with the Shimla Puri police station and a case was registered by the police under Sections 307/447/336/379/427/148/149 and 506, IPC, against Sher Jung and his brothers. But the police dropped the charges under Sections 307 and 379 IPC,” claimed villagers. The villagers have written to the Chief Minister demanding justice in the case who has marked the complaint to the Deputy Commissioner. Ms Sarabjit Kaur, sister of Sher Jung Singh, alleged that the police was siding with Dilbagh Singh Rai who was related to her also. There was a dispute over this piece of land and the matter was already in the court. She said as per the revenue record the land was in the name of her brothers, but Dilbagh Singh Rai had got his name included fraudulently in a girdawari. |

Near clash between Talwandi, Ludhiana, January 2 Though the Raikot police and Civil administration officials managed to broke some ice in the evening and succeeded in sending away the armed persons, sources said the situation was still alarming. Police sources said that they were not taking any chances and would remain on high alert tonight and tomorrow. Holding of religious ‘deewan’ in connection with Gurpurab celebrations is an annual affair. Mr Kirpal Singh Badungar, is scheduled to attend the function. The tension reached its height today when the alleged supporters of Mr Talwandi occupied the main stage and the member of a task force of the SGPC, formed to organise the show, also reached there. Fortunately, the police and civil administration officers reached the stage and prevented a clash. The SDM, Mr Ajmer Singh and the DSP, Raikot, Mr Harjit Singh Brar, then held a meeting with the warring parties and succeeded in convincing them to disperse. Police sources also conceded that the supporters of both leaders were camping near the area and a strict watch was being kept on them. The police and administration officials were kept on their toes by several telephone calls made to them by local workers of both the leaders. They were demanding intervention of the administration in their favour. The cause of tension is being traced to sore relations between former SGPC president Jagdev Singh Talwandi and former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal. The rivalry of the
friends turned-foes has now spilled over to the issue of calling the shots in tomorrow’s function. Mr Talwandi belongs to the area, while Mr Badal and Mr Badungar claim the right to hold the centre stage as the SGPC is the organiser of the show. The immediate provocation is said to be the reported statement of Mr Talwandi challenging Mr Badal or other Akali leaders to make speeches in his domain. The statement was published in a section of the Press. Mr Talwandi, however, has also issued a denial of the statement. The statement also included series of oft-repeated charges against Mr Badal. Sources said political scene in the area had become hot because of the strong stand taken by rival leaders. While Mr Talwandi gave vent to his ire through statements, the SGPC joined the issue by constituting a six-member committee for the
organisation of the show. The constitution of the committee was passed in a general house meeting of the SGPC at Amritsar. The committee members included, Mr Kewal Singh Badal, Mr Harsuhinder Singh Gill, Mr Bhagwan Singh, Mr Gurmail Singh Sangowal, Mr Devinder Singh Cheema and Bibi Harbans Kaur
Sukhana. |

SAD
infighting to the fore Ludhiana, January 2 He urged the party high command to constitute a high-level panel to go into the issue so that the matter was settled once and for all in the larger interests of the party. Mr Avtar Singh Makkar and Mr Amarjit Singh Bhatia have been old contenders of the coveted post of District President, SAD(Urban), of this industrial township. Their rivalry over the issue is no secret and the city has witnessed several bloody clashes between them. The issue remained controversial for the past five years owing to the alleged indecision of SAD President Parkash Singh Badal over the matter. Both leaders claim proximity with Mr Badal. Mr Makkar had been claiming success over his rivals by way of being appointed acting president of the district unit. Supporters of Mr Bhatia have been claiming that the appointment is a stop-gap arrangement and Mr Bhatia enjoys “equal powers”. The rivalry is also reflected in the loss of votes to the SAD in the Assembly and other elections. Addressing mediapersons here today, Mr Makkar said he had the support of 10 councillors, who were testimony to the fact that he had actively campaigned for their election in the municipal elections. The councillors present on the occasion were Mr H S Dang, Mr J S Bhola, Mr Bhairaj Singh, Mr Swaran Singh Maholi, Mr A S Cheema, Mr B S Mankoo, Mr D S Bitta, Mr H S Golwaria, Mr G S Grewal and Mr Hakam Singh. He also claimed the support of two members of the local Gurdwara Committee, Mr Tehal Singh and Mr Teja Singh. Besides this, he said he enjoyed the support of seven central body delegates of the party and members of the local Gurdwara Management Committee. Two members of the central body, too, have allegedly switched sides to make the case of Mr Makkar stronger before the high command.

Students
brave cold to attend school Ludhiana, January 2 It took them an hour or even more to reach school. Parents, apprehensive of poor visibility on account of the fog, speaking to Ludhiana Tribune said: “When the fog has become so dense, the school authorities should have postponed the opening of the schools. Fog is delaying trains and flights. Naturally, we are worried about the safety of our children travelling in the foggy weather. Moreover, it is dark at 6.30 am when we wake children. It is real torture for small children as they cry when woken up.” Not all parents seemed so anxious. Some
said, "We want our children to be brave and tough. Winter days are sometimes foggy, but that does not mean that we should stop normal activities. Since the weather is always inclement, we have to adapt ourselves to the weather and not vice versa.” School corridors that remained quiet for the past 10 days reverberated with laughter today. Some schools reported lean attendance. Ruchika, Sheetal and Meghna of Class X said: “Since our board exams are from March, we leave our homes at 7.30 am and go for tuition. Imagine, at times we can hardly see beyond a few yards. Since we are a group of six students, we find it adventurous to travel in the fog. It is quite eerie, but at the same time romantic. At times we are scared. But we are happy to be in school. It is fun to share lunch and tease teachers. Gosh! we miss the fun. Coming to school means more home work, more revisions and more lecture from teachers to study hard for our exams, but that is part of school life.” Principals feel that though it is foggy, yet it is not viable to extend the holidays as working days are barely enough to finish the syllabi. “Revision has to be carried out. For board classes, pre-board exams take several days. Then internal (practical) exams begin. Where are the days left”, they argue. Hawkers outside schools are happy as vacation means loss of business for them. Most students are happy to be back in school. Veenu, Sharan and Rajan say: “At home, too, there is no peace, as our parents nag us to study”.

No respite from cold yet Ludhiana, January 2 According to Dr S.S. Hundal of the Department of Agronomy and
Agrometeerology, the weather is likely to be cloudy and cold for at least another two days as the western disturbances are continuing. With upper reaches of the region having witnessed massive and continuous snowfall during the past few days, the snowy winds have
brought the temperature down further. The New Year night was the coldest so far with the night temperature recorded at 3.6°C. This was unusually low temperature during this
season. The mercury had plunged straightaway by about seven degrees from 10.2°C on the previous night. The continuous cold during the past few days seems to have hit the normal life. While the government offices, banks and other institutions functioned normally the attendance in the schools was relatively low. Since most of the schools start early in the morning it makes difficult for the children to reach the school in time. The foggy weather has also hit the movement of vehicles and trains. Most of the trains had been running late while two trains were cancelled. Railway officials were not sure about the arrival and departure of trains causing a lot of harassment to passengers. Hundreds of passengers were stranded at the local railway station as the trains were delayed. Some passengers said they had to wait for over six hours in this cold at the railway station. “First we were told that the train was late by two hours then they said it would be late by four hours and now we are told that it is running late by about six hours”, said Mr Bikramjit, a passenger who was travelling with his family. However, he agreed that the Railways could not be blamed for the delay. The railway officials also expressed their helplessness and maintained that once a train got late due to the foggy weather, it was difficult for it to make up as it couldn’t pick up speed. Instead it keeps on delaying further and further. Meanwhile, several parents demanded that the district administration should change the timings for the schools for January. The timings should start at 9 a.m. Some parents disclosed that certain schools started at 7.30 am or 8 am in the morning. Even some parents suggested that the schools should be closed for another week as it is difficult for children to attend classes in the intense cold.

After Padamjeet, its Cheema’s turn Ludhiana, January 2 He was posted as Director, Mobile Meter Testing Squad, here in April. It is learnt that he had found at least 12 meters of big consumers tampered with in the city, Khanna and Gobindgarh. The transfer of Mr Cheema to the post of Director (Disposals) has sent a shock wave among power engineers of the PSEB. A strong resentment prevails among them. Earlier, the PSEB had shifted Mr Padamjit Singh, Chief Engineer (Systems), in December following his opposition to signing of an agreement for purchase of power from an Orissa-based private company. The PSEB Engineers Association held an agitation in protest against the move and the PSEB had to make amends by appointing Mr Padamjit Singh as Chief Engineer (Enforcement). The Orissa-based company had offered to purchase power for the PSEB at the rate of Rs 2.06 paise per unit against Rs 2.07 paise per unit agreed upon by it in an October agreement. The company was supposed to supply 24 lakh units of power daily in a continuous process from December. Despite the failure of the company to supply power to the PSEB, the agreement has not been cancelled so far. PSEB engineers allege that the political interference in the functioning of the PSEB is increasing day by day as a result of which the efficiency of the board is suffering. |

BJYM to observe 2003 as ‘anti-terrorism
year’ Ludhiana, January 2 Giving details of the programme, he said an International Youth Conference on terrorism would be organised in New Delhi on February 10 and 11, which would be attended, among others, by Ambassadors, senior diplomats, Union Ministers and dignitaries from all over the world. Noted experts on the subject would submit research-based presentations on global terrorism in the conference, which would be presided over by the BJYM National President, Mr G. Krishan Reddy. A comprehensive exhibition of photographs and multi-media presentation of terrorism-related incidents would be the special feature of the conference. Mr Grewal observed that terrorism had become the biggest menace in civilised world. The country was constantly fighting terrorism, including cross-border terrorism. “Terrorism is tearing off the economic fibre of India and retarding development activities and progress of the country.” The international meeting on terrorism, he added, was being convened in this backdrop with objectives to identify factors breeding terrorism, find out means to check the menace and initiate a global dialogue for peace.” Opposing income tax on the farm sector, as suggested by the Kelkar Committee, the BJYM functionary said the matter had been taken up with Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and the Union Finance Minister because bringing farmers under the income tax net could create several problems. Alleging that development activities in the state had came to a halt eversince the Congress government took over the reins in Punjab, Mr Grewal said the government was ignoring core issues and real problems of the people while pursuing directionless policies. He claimed that the SAD-BJP alliance was all set to stage a comeback and the forthcoming municipal elections in Punjab would prove decisive in this regard. He said several senior SAD functionaries, including former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, would actively campaign for BJP candidates in the coming Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh. |

Guddu victim waits for justice, but ... Ludhiana, January 2 Despite several inquiries and court orders in his favour and the recent crackdown on the controversial cop, he is still awaiting recovery of several lakhs of stolen machines and action against the cop. Justice delayed is justice denied, But no one seem to have remembered this in the case of Maninder Singh. Apart from the cop, the other accused persons were also influential. Despite that, he won the cases. While the cost of the stolen machine is pegged at over Rs 27 lakh, the loss of business due to the closed industry is estimated at over a crore. Yet, the industrialist is facing increased losses due to continuous delay in justice. The cop was recently booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act by the state Vigilance Department. The registration of the case brought a litany of complaints against him from people, who could not raise their voice earlier. Persons like Maninder Singh, who were fighting legal battles and police cases against the cop, are hopeful that their tale of woes will end now. “But not much seems to be done”, laments Maninder Singh. His tale reflects how difficult it was for an individual to fight for justice. None other than an IPS officer, Varinder Kumar, posted as SSP, Gurdaspur, had upheld the allegations against Maninder Singh. He had recommended registration of a case against the cop and associates as well as immediate recovery of stolen property and handing over the factory to the industrialist. The inquiry report and the recommendations were submitted to senior police officers, but nothing much has been done so far. Maninder Singh’s case file states that in July, 1995, his factory was robbed but nothing was done by the police. The accused cop and others, as stated in the inquiry, had conspired to steal the machines as well as forcibly occupy the industry. |

Mayor must be shown
due respect: Lapran Ludhiana, January 2 On the other hand, the Deputy Commissioner, Mr Anurag Aggarwal, who is also ex-officio president of the club, maintained that all three were properly attended to when they came to the club on the new year eve. He said, they left after about 15 minutes. He said he himself left 30 minutes later. Mr Lapran, however, maintained that when he, along with Mr Gill and Mr Dakha, went to the club there was too much rush. The Mayor felt bad that there was no seat reserved for him as per protocol since he is the first citizen of the city. Upset, he decided to leave the function midway. But Mr Gill today issued a clarification that some wrong information had been circulated about him. He said since he was busy in connection with many new year functions at different places, he had no plan to attend the function at Satluj Club. He stated since renowned Punjabi artist Jassi was to perform there he decided to mark his presence along with friends. He said the Deputy Commissioner, Mr Aggarwal, and other officers present gave him due respect and offered them seats. Meanwhile, two local legislators, Mr Surrinder Dawer and Mr Milkiat Singh Dakha, expressed displeasure over the incident. They said, notwithstanding the denial by the Mayor, he (the Mayor) was not accorded due respect in accordance with protocol. They pointed out, the Mayor was the first citizen of the city and ought to be given due respect. Moreover they said, the club management should have ensured that when they invited guests, seats were reserved for them. “Elected representatives are the voice of people and they deserve better respect,” they observed.

Crippled, yet unfazed Ludhiana, January 2 “Since I have not married, I have been quite happy. My parents died four five years ago and now my relatives have filed court cases against me so that they can deprive me from my share of the property. Thinking that I am physically challenged, they feel, I will not be able to fight a legal battle, but I am fighting and I will continue it till the end. We own a family house in Model Town. I do not like injustice. Our society has never been kind to a physically or mentally challenged person,” he says. Giving examples, he says even a porter at station will charge more from us and so will do a rickshaw puller. ‘Everyone thinks that we can be taken for a ride. For a physically challenged person in India, life is definitely not a bed of roses,” he says. Palio forced him to take to crutches, but that has never deterred his desire to be financially independent. Self taught, he started his radio mechanic shop in Model Town. In seventies and eighties, when radio was popular, he earned enough. Because of his good nature, he made friends with intellectuals, photographers of repute and other prominent persons of society. His investments earn him enough interest money to live comfortably. He says,” The government has reduced interest on small savings and that has really affected me, but I can’t lament over my misfortunes, I live for each day and I want to live it to the fullest for life is a unique gift of God”. |

LMA seminar Ludhiana, January 2 “Mr Walter Vieira, a certified management consultant of international fame, who is coming all the way from Mumbai to address the members, is President of the Marketing Advisory Services Group which happens to be the first marketing consultancy company in India”, Mr Goyal said. “He is also the ex-Chairman of International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI-World apex body) and was among the first to be elected Fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants of India in 1995.” Speaking on the significance of the subject Mr Goyal said: “are witnessing a sea change in the social and business environment. World markets are rapidly opening up and the way we used to do business is fast changing. There is practically nothing which can be taken for granted and the contingencies must be prepared for. India has experienced unprecedented changes and growth in many areas in the past decade and is fast-awakening to the challenge of competing globally and replicating, if not surpassing, the success stories of China and other east-Asian tigers.” “However, this is a mere prelude to what could potentially lie ahead. There is still a long way for India to go and business needs to adapt and change even more quickly than ever before,” he added. |

Harsh Kelkar report Kelkar report is quite harsh and unfortunate for senior citizens, pensioners and the salaried class as well. It will adversely affect nearly one crore pensioners across the country, if implemented. The Union Finance Minister, Mr Jaswant Singh, is urged not to accept the report in anyway. He is further urged to retain all the incentives and concessions already available to the salaried class, senior citizens, pensioners and serving women. Rather, there should be more incentives encouraging them to save more. Raise in tax exemption limit for them is yet another point worth consideration. To add to it, enhancement in the rates of interest fixed deposits made by the senior citizens in banks as well as post offices may help them financially in the evening of their life. Yash Paul Ghai
Exploitation Liberalisation in India has given birth to a never satiating consumerism. This has reduced everything even the school education, to the economics of demand and supply.” Thousands of the so- called ‘public school’ have been flourishing on the growing weakness of parents to send their children to ‘English Medium’ schools, barring a few reputed and established names, most for them are nothing more than ‘teaching shops’. They mint money at the cost of ignorant and credulous parents. The ‘modus operandi’ of all these ‘public schools’ is very simple. They give tempting advertisements in newspapers highlighting their academic achievements school holds a test for admissions. This is nothing more than a deed formality. Actually, it is just a play to throw dust into the eyes of unsuspecting parents. Admissions are granted not an merit. The fatness of the capitation fee decides the fate of the child. It is fraud on parents and children both. No responsible government can remain a
mock spectator to this illegal looting and fraud. Accepting donations or capitation fee in admissions be made illegal and a cognizable offense. Let our schools schools remain temples of learning. Let us not bury them deep in the dung of wealth and gold. Rahul Trehan |
