Guru Angad Dev vet varsity approved
Chandigarh, March 1 The proposal regarding the veterinary university had been hanging fire for the past 15 years. It was first time mooted by Mr Harbans Singh, who was the Animal Husbandry Minister in the Beant Singh government. However, that proposal remained on paper. Even during the tensure of the SAD-BJP government a proposal was drawn up to set up the university at Talwandi Sabo, near Bathinda. But that also did not materialise Mr Jagmohan Singh Kang, Animal Husbandry Minister, said that this time the university would definitely start functioning in July. “ We have a building that was constructed to set up the Immunology Institute in Ludhiana. Now it will be used to run the veterinary university. Later, its campus may be shifted to another place.” Quizzed about the recruitment of the faculty, preparation of the curriculum etc, Mr Kang said that he was certain that everything would be in place by July. “ I have asked the officers concerned to spend some extra time daily to complete all tasks well ahead of the proposed beginning of academic session of the university”. However, the most important task will be the framing of the university bill. “ We are on the job of preparing the draft of the bill and it will be brought in the Budget session of the assembly later this month”, said Mr Kang. The Council of Ministers also approved the convening of the Budget session of the Vidhan Sabha from March 18 to April 8. The Budget for 2005-06 will be presented on March 22. The council constituted a group of Ministers to examine and recommend the rules for the redeployment of surplus government employees in the state. The council also gave approval for the revival of 13 posts of Employment Officer (general).

Ajnala repoll goes off peacefully
Ajnala, March 1 Over 75 per cent of the total 15,330 voters turned out to exercise their franchise. The counting of votes would be held tomorrow in Ajnala. BSF jawans have been deployed to man the strong room where electronic voting machines are being kept. Though the orders banning the entry of outsiders, issued by the District Magistrate, were violated with impunity on February 23, the same were implemented in toto today. While, election observers of the CEC kept a vigil on the repolling, Punjab Police personnel guarded the entry and exit points. The Punjab Police was earlier accused of helping the ruling Congress during the February 23 repoll. During the repolling today, senior leaders from both the Shiromani Akali Dal or the Congress camped at Ajnala. However, some SAD activists tried to stage a dharna near Madhu Chhanga village but were later persuaded not to do so by the district police chief, Ms Vibhu Raj. Some SAD leaders alleged that they were prevented from entering the periphery of the village while Congress workers were given access. However, the Congress alleged that the SAD wanted to sabotage the repoll. Meanwhile, the district administration has enforced a ban on entry of vehicles or assembly of five or more persons within 500 metres of Degree College, Ajnala, for tomorrow, when the counting of votes takes place.

Govt for equitable growth of urban, rural areas: CM
Barhampur (Ludhiana), March 1 He said the government had decided to launch a massive developmental programme in 700 villages. He said five villages would be adopted every year from each development block and funds to the tune of Rs 65 crore had been sanctioned for this year. Talking to The Tribune after inaugurating the first phase of the model village here last evening, the Chief Minister disclosed that his government had chalked out a massive rural development plan for the state. He said the government had sought the cooperation of the non-governmental organisations for building the rural infrastructure. He thanked the Village Life Improvement Foundation (VLIF) for taking the initiative to modernise different villages in Punjab. This small village with about 400 households has been adopted by the foundation for modernisation, which mainly includes providing clean drinking water, laying underground sewerage system, installing streetlights, metaling of all roads, proper hygiene and sanitation, gender equality with empowerment and computer education. The Chief Minister said Barhampur was the first model village of the state with the active involvement of non-resident Indians of the same village who had spent Rs 1.35 crore for the project. He appreciated the contribution of the NRIs of the village, like Mr Anantpal Singh, whose initiative helped in transforming the village. The Chief Minister also handed over a cheque for Rs 24 lakh to Dr Gurdev Singh Gill, president of the VLIF for completing the project. According to Dr Gill, the initiative was jointly taken up by the Canadian International Development Agency, an organisation formed by NRIs, and the VLIF. The project was taken up in September, 2003, and would be completed at a cost of Rs 13.47 crore, of which Rs 77.80 lakh had already been spent.

Footprints led to arrest of train dacoity suspects
Chandigarh, March 1 After receiving information about the robbery on Jalandhar-Delhi Super Fast, Khanna’s Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Mr Parmod Ban, reportedly reached the railway station, along with a police party. Much to their amusement and excitement, they discovered footprints fresh in the adjoining fields. The dacoits had apparently jumped into the fields from the train at Jaspalon village near Khanna after stabbing a passenger to death and looting about Rs 2,800, besides grabbing mobile sets and jewellery. Little did the outlaws realise that they were leaving behind a trail for the cops to follow. Before launching operation search, the SSP made inquiries from the passengers. He was told that all criminals were aged between 22 and 24 years, were apparently from Uttar Pradesh or Bihar, and one of them was named Mishra. The footsteps in the fields running along the tracks towards Ludhiana led the cops to the discovery of a container. On the box, “Shelly Boot House, Vijay Nagar, Ludhiana” was neatly printed. SSP Ban located the boot house in Ludhiana. He was told that the area was inhabited by migrants. Enquiries from the police station and others in the area revealed that Mishra — a “local bad character” — was seen in the locality with soiled clothes. His image matched with the description. Encouraged, the cops continued with the probe. Soon, the localites revealed the identity of Mishra’s associates. After a brief encounter, the police managed to arrest Ram Kumar, Rajinder Yadav, Parmodh Sharma and Pankaj Kumar from their hideout near Kauni Bija road in Ludhiana district. Four others of the gang could not be apprehended as they were not present during the raid. Giving details, Punjab’s Director-General of Police, Mr S.S. Virk, said a country-made pistol, along with an empty cartridge and three knives were recovered from the possession of the arrested. He added that the alleged gangsters, during preliminary interrogation, admitted their involvement in the train dacoity on February 26. Narrating the sequence of events, the DGP said the gang members entered the train’s last coach on February 26 and started robbing the passengers after brandishing a pistol. One of them stabbed a passenger to death after he tried to resist. They, subsequently, locked the other passengers in the compartment’s toilet before stopping the train by pulling the chain near Khanna. Admitting their guilt, the accused said they were coaxed by Mishra to indulge in the crime. One of them said Mishra made him drink for “making the job of looting easier”.

Villagers told to return land compensation amount
Gurdaspur, March 1 Similar is the story of about 225 farmers of the village who are in despair after receiving the notices for repayment of the compensation awarded to them by the Army more than 10 years ago. Sources here said the Army had issued notices for acquiring 10 villages, including Karoli, in 1990-91. The farmers, whose lands were acquired, were awarded compensation. The award included original value of the land plus 30 per cent compensation for forcible eviction and interest of 9 per cent for the first year and 15 per cent for subsequent years for which the payment got delayed. After awarding the compensation the defence ministry struck down the land acquisition proposal of the village due to higher acquisition price, they said. Sources added that some influential persons of Pathankot had bought land in Karoli. Later, they had raised temporary structures and orchards to get enhanced compensation. However, the enhanced compensation forced the ministry to strike down the proposal. However the real sufferers were small farmers who had to repay the amount with interest. The farmers were awarded a compensation of about Rs 2.37 crore. However, now they are being asked to pay back about Rs 8 crore. The sarpanch of the village said most farmers were ready to re pay the principal amount. However, they are not in a position to pay back the amount, along with the interest. The Estate Office authorities of the Army said they were bound by rules to take back the amount paid to the farmers since the land was not later denotifed. Now the poor farmers were just hoping for a relief to save their properties getting auctioned.

Gold spades row takes new turn
Amritsar, March 1 However, Baba Amrik Singh denied the allegations regarding his involvement in the controversy and said it was due to alleged bickering in the SGPC that his name was being mentioned . He said he returned from Pakistan last week, where he had gone for kar sewa of Sikh shrines, due to some other work and his return had nothing to do with the missing spades. He said due to unprecedented rush of devotees during the kar sewa the gold spades and bowls got mixed with other bowls and spades. He said while four out of five spades were in the possession of the SGPC, they would soon find the fifth spade. Mr Fauji alleged that Mr Ajaib Singh, manager of the Golden Temple had written a number of times to the committee about the theft of gold spades and silver bowls. However, even after a year no concrete action has been taken as yet. In the meanwhile, Mr Fauji alleged that Bibi Jagir Kaur was misleading the Sikh masses by saying the only one spade was missing. He further alleged mass bungling of funds during religious celebrations last year.

Ropar roads await completion
Ropar, March 1 The Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, had laid the foundation stone of the widening of the roads on September 29 in view of thee-day shahidi samagam to commemorate the 300th year of martyrdom of Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh at Chamkaur Sahib in December last year. Capt Amarinder has granted about Rs 10 crore to complete the project. Survey of the roads revealed that due to poor carpeting, potholes have surfaced on various places on the half completed roads. In addition, bridge on the Budki seasonal river has also not been completed. On the 15-km long Ropar-Chamkaur Sahib road along the Shirhind canal and 13-km long Chamkaur Sahib-Bela road only little work has been done. Ironically the administration had fixed December 10 as deadline to complete the project. Sources added that due to pressure to complete the roads before the shahidi samagam, the department did not completed all the formalities required for the carpeting of the roads. As a result, the potholes appeared on the roads from Ropar to Bela Chowk. When contacted the XEN PWD (Construction Division), Mr K.S Bhinder, said: “We have yet to add 25mm layer more on the roads. The roads were damaged due to poor weather conditions and the carpeting of the roads could not be continued. We have fixed deadline to complete the work till April 1.

High-level contamination in rural water supply
Ropar, March 1 According to sources, As many as 52 samples out of 110 were found unfit for consumption due to the high-level of contamination. The samples came from the various parts of the district, including Nangal, Anandpur Sahib, Morinda, Ropar city and Mohali. The samples were taken in the month of January this year. The most affected areas are Nangal, Anandpur Sahib, Morinda and Mohali. Despite the fact that untreated water has been the biggest cause for waterborne diseases in this district, little care has been taken by the administration to improve the water supply systems. The water, being supplied to such areas, lacks chlorination. As per the Health Department records, 15 villages in Nangal are getting untreated water from tube-wells, 13 villages in Ropar are getting untreated water from the Public Heath water supply and six other villages in Anandpur Sahib are drinking untreated water from the Public Health water supply. Similarly, six villages in Mohali and several villages in Morinda are getting water supply which is unfit. According to the report prepared by the Health Department, the water samples which were found unfit for human consumption were taken from Nangal, Anandpur Sahib and Ropar. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Rana Harinder, has issued notices to officials of the Health Department and the Municipal Councils to improve water supply within ten days. A report was also submitted to the Deputy Commissioner in this regard.

Respite Care for mentally challenged launched
Patiala, March 1 The service refers to short term, temporary care provided to persons with disabilities with a view to helping their families take a break from the daily routine of caring for their special child. According to Dr N.S. Sodhi, Director, Sadhu Basant Residential Care, the centre which has been providing permanent residential facilities to persons with mild or moderate mental retardation, had initiated this service after families of special children identified ‘Respite Care’ as their priority need. This was more relevant especially because the joint family system exists no more in our society, he added. Dr Hardeep Kaur, executive secretary of the Residential Care Centre stated that Respite Care may involve overnight or extended stay period for the mentally challenged persons . This she said would not merely provide relief from stress to the affected families, but that the gap may also provide an
opportunity to build better relationships besides helping the mentally challenged to move towards independence.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar casts spell in Patiala
Patiala, March 1 The Polo Ground was tastefully decorated with a ‘pandal’ erected for seating of the Guru as well as eminent disciples. The stage was joined with a ramp which had pedestals with rose petals in them. The ramp was erected to facilitate Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in reaching out to people who had come to have a glimpse of him as well as listen to his discourse. The function started with a session of devotional songs which lasted for an hour. The guru made his entry after 7 pm. He had earlier reached Patiala at the residence of the local chapter head Uppi Ghumman and gave ‘darshan’ to some devotees there. The guru while speaking, on the occasion said we learn various fundamentals during our life but noone teaches us how to handle our own minds and emotions. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said a man spent half his life in acquiring wealth and then spent half of the wealth accumulated in regaining his health. He said what most men forgot was that while existence was a fact, living was an art. “Sadly most of us just exist by going through all the motions of life without understanding or appreciating the wonderful existence bestowed on us until it is too late”, he said. The guru said ironically very little was required to acquire control over oneself. ‘’You have to become aware of you body which is your temple. Also become aware of how you treat your body”, he said. Speaking about aberrations which harmed the body, he said these occurred because the body and mind were not in synchronisation with each other. “The mind warns us about wrong doings but we sometimes go with our heart to commit them knowingly. To acquire control over yourselves you should practise ‘yoga’ besides learning the “Sudarshan Kriya” which served to enhance one’s personal growth. He also answered questions of the audience which were read out to him. When questioned about tips to imbibe good habits in children, he said one should be aware of the company ones child was keeping. “If he is in good company, you have no cause to worry”. Speaking about family relationships, he said if every member - whether an uncle or aunt - behaved like a good uncle or aunt, they would get similar behaviour from others. Art of Living Teacher Ms Ritam speaking about the activities of the foundation, said the foundation ran a basic course spread over six days which consisted of talks, simple
yogasana, ‘pranayama’, meditation, techniques of self awareness and the ‘Sudarshan Kriya’. Ritam said besides this the foundation also ran a course “Art Excel” for children between the age of eight to 13 and a “young adults” course which was designed specially for teenagers between the age
