Medical institute found wanting
Raikot (Ahmedgarh), December 15 Following a charter of demands presented by first-year students of general nursing and midwifery to the Registrar, Punjab State Nursing Council, at Mohali on Monday, a team led by Dr J. S. Dalal, Director, Research and Medical Education, Punjab, and president, Punjab Nursing Council, visited the campus and the make-shift hostel of the institute today and found gross irregularities on the part of the management. Talking to Ludhiana Tribune, Dr Dalal said the functioning of the institute was found to be much below the standards. He said the institute and the hostel were being run in rented buildings. The condition of the hostel was pathetic. “When we entered the hostel, it appeared as if we were going into a tunnel, without enough light and air to breath. The rooms were stinking. The number of beds and the strength of students suggested that the latter were made to share cots,” Dr Dalal said. The humiliating part was that girl students had to use toilets at a filling station, as there were not enough arrangements for all students in the hostel. The team found that the teacher appointed against the desired strength of 12 was not eligible for the post. Dr Dalal said he would recommend stern action against the management of the institute.

Jazzy B for modernity in Punjabi videos
Ludhiana, December 15 “To reach out to this section, it is important that we include a part of their culture as well,” said the renowned Punjabi singer who was here to inaugurate a Music World outlet today. All decked up in gold ornaments, Jazzy, who is noticed more for his style statement — the spiky hairdo and heavy gold rings, chain et al — was quite vocal expressing
helplessness of singers when it came to decisions regarding music videos. “Whatever is portrayed in the video is not in our hands. It is with the companies who produce and we are on a contract with them,” he replied to a question about increasing vulgarity in music videos. The singer, who hails from Durgapur village near Nawanshahr, is considered to be one of the most promising young bhangra artistes and his music is influenced by Kuldip Manak. He is popular among younsters in India as well as overseas. Jazzy, whose first album ‘ghuggian da jora’ was released in 1993, is upbeat about his forthcoming venture. He said his 10th album, “Romeo’, would be released on December 25. “The album contains ‘masala’ for all age groups, be it a two-year-old or a 90- year-old,” he said. Expressing concern about piracy, he said it must come to an end as not only did it provide poor quality product to the consumer but also affected artistes. He said the current scenario, which was witnessing the entry of a large number of music artistes was providing good opportunities. “However, it would only be the fittest who will survive,” he said, adding that “young entrants must work hard and should make sure that they have their own style and do not copy anyone.” Dressed in a cream shirt and jeans, Jazzy, who was welcomed with dhol beats, interacted with visitors at Music World.
