Two books on health released
Chandigarh, December 1 Dr J.K. Gupta, Dean University Instruction, presided over the function. Dr Kumar observed that emphasis of various plans in the government had been on treatment of patients. He said that this entailed huge financial loss, both, in terms of treatment expenditure and cut in wages. “Presently, 75 per cent of health budget is spent on setting up and management of hospitals. The emphasis has to shift to achieving wellness and a step higher than that, the fitness, and not merely the treatment of diseases,” Dr Kumar added. Earlier, Prof R.K. Sapru, Professor Public Administration, Panjab University, introduced Dr Kumar as well-known eye-surgeon of the city. Chief guest, Dr N.K. Ganguly, Director-General, Indian Council of Medical Research, complimented the author for being a versatile doctor. |

No more extension to schools run from residential areas
Mohali, December 1 It is learnt that such schools would not be allowed to function from residential accommodation from the next academic session. In a letter dated November 8 issued by the Chief Administrator, PUDA, to the general secretary of the SAS Nagar Schools Association, he stated that the issue with regard to extension in time for schools running in residential areas had been considered by the committee constituted for the purpose on August 9 and it had been decided that more than two and a half years had already elapsed since the passing of the orders by the Supreme Court in SLP No 9119 of 2002 and the school managements had already availed three academic years, so there was no justification in allowing them to run the schools from residential premises any longer. A number of schools were running in residential accommodation as well as in industrial units here. Cases filed by private schools in the courts for allowing them to operate from residential areas had been dismissed. PUDA had issued notices to such schools as they were violating the terms of the allotment.
