Special Achievers
Chandigarh, May 28 The time he should have spent taking classes and playing pranks with his friends, Gagan was battling the deadly disease, shuttling between home and Tata Memorial Cancer Research Institute, Mumbai. “I got just over two months to go through my syllabus. My schools and friends stood with me in my sad moments”, said the spirited youth. He looks like any normal child but with a limp in his right leg. Packed with extreme grit and will to succeed in life, he did not allow his disability to come in his way. He survived innumerable doses of chemotherapy, went twice through surgery on his right and left lungs to remove the cancerous growth in the last three years and still managed to secure a first division. The Chandigarh Tribune team went to his Sector 8 residence to know how it happened. It started in June 2001, when Gagan was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg. Then started the real fight against the ailment. “Doctors at the Sector 32 GMCH had said that his right leg would have to be amputated. But then the doctors at Mumbai removed the affected part of the bone and inserted rods”, recalled father of the boy, Mr Harminder Singh, with tears in his eyes. Then after one and a half years, his lung was afflicted with cancer. The doctors had almost given up hope but for the courage shown by the parents and prayers of the well-wishers. Gagan underwent sessions of chemotherapy and lung surgery. Ms Harinder, mother of Gagan, said her son has a religious bent of mind. “There were several moments when we had almost lost the hope of seeing our son for long. But he survived all”. Gagan is all praise for his teachers and friends at school who stood by him.
Poverty no bar Hailing from a poor family with both parents illiterate, she has managed to secure 74.6 per cent marks. Her father Prem Chand Joshi is a cook at the Police Lines, Sector 26. Talking to the Chandigarh Tribune, Meenakshi said, “I want to pursue commerce and am good at maths” met her father. Sister Elssy, Principal of the school, said, “We are also proud of our students studying in the Hindi medium section. They are from slums and poor backgrounds” Two other students from the Hindi section of the school Renu Garg and Ekta Srivastava have also done well in the examination.

PUDA EO demanded bribe,
claims contractor
Mohali, May 28 Mr Raj Kumar of Anil Construction, in a written statement, alleged that Mr T.K. Goel, Estate Officer, Mohali, came to the society’s site on May 26 to stop construction of the flats following orders of resumption of the land by PUDA. “However, he took me aside and told me that if I wanted the construction work to continue smoothly, I would have to join him and do something for him. I immediately understood and said I could manage Rs 10,000 or Rs 15,000 on the spot for him. But he refused, saying the deal could be struck only in lakhs, not in thousands.’’ Mr Raj Kumar’s statement was also recorded on camera by a local TV channel crew.

During the press conference, Mr Swaran Singh, honorary secretary of the society, said they got the resumption order stayed by a special secretary, Housing and Urban Development, Mr Gurinder Singh Grewal, on May 24, but despite these orders, the PUDA team led by Mr Goel had allegedly forcibly stopped construction at the site. “They have deployed securitymen here, who are interfering with our work,” said Mr Swaran Singh. |
