14 shops gutted, goods worth lakhs destroyed
Ludhiana, June 13 It took around 40 fire engines to douse the fire as 40 employees of the fire department struggled for more than three hours to contain it. The structures of the shops that were made of wood and tin were also destroyed. Fire officer R.K. Sharma said the cause of fire was yet to be ascertained. He said according to some eyewitnesses, sparking in a transformer installed behind the shops, had caused the fire. As the shops were made of combustible material and stored clothes, it did not take much time for the fire to spread. Fire fighters had a tough time controlling the fire as hundreds of onlookers gathered on the spot within a few minutes. After the fire was controlled, the department had to employ trucks to clear the burnt goods. Shocked shop owners were seen witnessing the incident helplessly. They said it was due to the negligence of the electricity board that had made them suffer losses. They said the board had put old supply lines with numerous joints near the shops. They said it was due to sparking that the fire taken place. The fire fighters said the shopkeepers had not made any arrangements to tackle such an eventuality. They did not even have fire extinguishers. The department had pressed the 13 engines into service. Some of these had to be refilled. Mr Sharma said, the fire engines had reached the spot at once. They started the operations even before the local office of the Punjab State Electricity Board could disconnect the power supply to the area. They risked their lives as thick cables were passing through the shops. Nobody was injured in the operation. Following the news of the fire, the Deputy Commissioner, the SSP and some political leaders reached the spot.

BKU asks govt to fulfil promise on free power
Ludhiana, June 13 The union further made it clear that the condition of upper limit for land holdings at 7 acres was not acceptable to the farmers and if the government continued its evasive attitude on this issue then the BKU would be left with no other alternative than to launch a mass agitation to seek justice. In a statement here today, the BKU acting president, Mr Manjit Singh Kadian, and other functionaries said the farmers were being denied free water and power despite the fact that the Congress government had promised to restore this facility immediately after coming to power. He said not only the government should take immediate steps to provide free power and water to the farmers in the state but the power and water charges recovered from them during the intervening period should be refunded. Mr Kadian termed the government proposal to provide free water and power to farmers with land holding of less than 7 acres as shortsightedness and impractical. “It is a known fact that funds available with the mandi board are utilised for construction and repair of rural roads. If these funds are diverted to make up for the loss of the PSEB due to free power supply then the work for repair and construction of roads in the rural areas will suffer.” The BKU chief called upon

Erratic power supply irks residents, industrialists
Ludhiana, June 13 The Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) had announced that in order to ensure eight hours of regular power supply to agricultural consumers during the paddy plantation season scheduled cuts would be imposed for three to six hours in residential areas, besides weekly off for industry and alternate-days power supply to arc and furnace units. However, not only are residents complaining of long unscheduled power cuts, industry is also suffering due to cuts apart from the usual weekly off. Even agricultural consumers say they are not getting the regular eight-hour power supply as promised by the electricity board. While residents in Ghumar Mandi complained of power cuts for six to seven hours, those in Civil Lines area, Sarabha Nagar and surrounding areas also said the cuts lasted for more than three hours. The situation is no better in Miller Ganj, areas near Bus Stand and residential areas
located near Jalandhar Bypass, where residents said cuts for over four to five hours were being imposed. “There is no prior information about these cuts. Not only during the day, we spend sleepless nights as cuts of half-an-hour to one hour as more are imposed several times at night also,” rued Mr Kulwinder Singh, a resident of Krishna Nagar. The PSEB has decided to impose a 24-hour weekly off for industry. “But that is not the only time when there is no electricity. We are suffering badly as unscheduled cuts for several hours are imposed even during the day,” said Mr Varinder kapoor, general-secretary of the United Cycle and Parts Manufacturers Association. While officials claimed that situation had improved after cuts on arc and furnace units had started since yesterday, industrialists said there had been no change in the situation. “This has become the norm. The government has failed to tackle this problem due to which industry is suffering heavy losses. Infact several industrial units are even planning to shift base from the state to neighbouring states due to power problem,” Mr Kapoor said, adding, “as a result of unscheduled cuts not only are our schedules disturbed and we are not able to meet our orders, prices of certain raw materials also rise, which brings additional trouble for industry.” Meanwhile, agriculturists say they are not receiving the eight-hour power supply as promised by the PSEB. “The supply lasts only for six to seven hours a day. Even during that, there are voltage fluctuations due to which irrigation suffers,” said Gurdev Singh, a farmer in Pakhowal village. PSEB officials, however, maintained that cuts in residential areas were only for three hours and there were no unscheduled cuts. “The situation has in fact improved after we have started imposing cuts on arc and furnace units,” an official said. According to PSEB sources, unscheduled cuts are likely to continue. “There could be minor improvement in the current situation but demand far exceeds supply. Even after the supply from Kerala, the demand-supply gap remains wide due to which the crisis is likely to continue,” said sources.

Power cuts hit furnace units hard
Ludhiana, June 13 The production in arc and furnace units has come down by 50 per cent as a result of which demand has fallen short of supply, leading to an increase in prices. This has affected light engineering industries as well. While prices of ingots have increased by nearly Rs 1,000 per tonne, a similar increase has been recorded in case of MS round prices also. “The light engineering industry is suffering as a result of this increase. Due to unscheduled power cuts, the problem is aggravated as prices of raw material witnessed an increase”, said Mr Varinder Kapoor of United Cycle and Parts Manufacturers Association. Said Mr K.K. Garg, president, Induction Furnace Association of North India, “Prices have increased due to power cuts. But this is a temporary phenomenon. Soon as power situation will be restored to normal, prices will adjust accordingly.”

Sarabha memorial, her unrealised dream
Kanchan Vasdev Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, June 13 With the demise of Bibi, first cousin of martyr Sarabha, a chapter in the history of independent India has come to an end. Despite her best efforts to get the ancestral house of the martyr protected into a memorial, the last days of her life were dotted with miseries and agony of official apathy. The death did not wait for her dream to be realised, Bibi Jagdish Kaur passed away leaving the task of commemorating the great sacrifice of her cousin, in the hands of the countrymen. Even during the twilight days of her life, Bibi Jagdish Kaur left no stone unturned for moving the authorities and state government to convert the ancestral house of martyr Sarabha. It was only due to her efforts that the work on preservation of memorial was started five years ago. But thanks to the height of official apathy, the memorial is yet to be completed. The memorial, which is the native house of the martyr, had always been in the news due to the slow pace of work. Despite keeping bad health, Bibi had been known to agitate against the state governments demanding the completion of work on the memorial. Bibi had threatened twice to go on relay fast in front of the house of the Chief Minister if the work was not started on it. She had even gone to the extent of saying that she would renounce the title ‘‘Punjab Mata’’ bestowed upon her by the Badal government. She had said angrily that the government was not bothered for the contribution of the martyr. Bibi Jagdish Kaur, who had been suffering from uterine cancer for the past many years, had sent SOS calls to the state government also. She had to suffer from a controversy that had erupted due to her being referred to as a “Punjab Mata”. The present government had refused to acknowledge her title. It was after a protest by Bibi that the work on the memorial was started by the Akali government in 2000. A grant of Rs 101 lakh was announced for it and Rs 40 lakh were released in three installments. Later, not even a single penny was released. The house which was declared a protected monument by the Archaeological Department of Punjab in 1998 stands abandoned. Bibi had been running from pillar to post to get the house of her brother, where he was born and brought up, converted into a memorial.She claimed that she had donated the house to the government and requested every Chief Minister to raise a memorial on it. The former CM had accepted her plea and declared it as a protected monument. But it is yet to see the light of the day.

Bassian fire incident: 4 Cong leaders quit panel in protest
Raikot, June 13 These leaders accused the police of betraying the confidence of the leaders and succumbing to the pressure of leaders of opposition parties. They threatened to approach the Chief Minister in case their grievance was not heard by the DIG Ludhiana. The police, on the other hand, blamed the Congress men of interfering unnecessarily in the investigation of the Bassian fire incident and felicitating the escape of Harinder Kumar, alias Happy, who had been arrested four days ago. Led by Mr Sudarshan Joshi, president of the local Municipal Council, Mr Ramesh Kumar Kaura, member District Women’s Cell, Mr Lalit Jain, Mr Pal Balwinder Singh Talwandi and Mr Ramesh Sharda (members of Finance Dispute Settlement Committee) resigned from their respective memberships of police public committees in protest against the alleged non-cooperative role of the local police. The leaders alleged that the police officials had betrayed their faith by arresting Harinder Kumar who was brought by them to the police station for routine investigation. “As Harinder Kumar had been found innocent in an inquiry conducted earlier by SP (D), we believed the contention of the police that his statement was to be recorded. Astonishingly they detained him at the police station and later concocted a false story that he had been arrested by a police party led by CIA in charge,” said the leaders. Terming the escape of Harinder Kumar as stage managed by the police the Congress leaders alleged that he had been sent to some untold place and apprehended that police would try to implicate him in some serious crime. Mr Ajwinder Singh Sibia and Mr Saudagar Singh, chairmen of market committee, said they had forwarded the representation received from the local Congress leaders to DIG Ludhiana and would be taking up the matter with the Chief Minister in case their grievances were not redressed. The police on the other hand denied the charges and accused the Congress leaders of influencing the inquiry being conducted into the Bassian fire incident. “We have full respect for the leaders of all political and social organisations and had been recognising their role in solving local problems. Unfortunately in the present case, the leaders were misguided by the accused, who committed another crime by escaping from custody,” said Mr Rajiv Ahir, Senior Superintendent of Police, Jagraon. Reacting to the allegations of stage-managing the escape Mr Ahir said: “Escape of an undertrial is stigma and not bravery. No police officer would let his image be maligned unnecessary.”

Massive rally against privatisation
Ludhiana, June 13 The call for rally was given by Anti-Privatisation Sangarsh Committee, Punjab, and 6 district conveners Jasdev Singh
Lalton, Baldev Mangat, Gurmail Singh, Shiv Kumar Kapuria, Harbhajan Singh, Dayal Singh and Major Singh supervised the rally jointly. Female as well as male workers had turned up in large numbers in over 2 dozen buses, tractors, and hundreds of 2 wheelers. The rally was a great success in spite of imposition of Section 144 and a massive police cordon. The workers shouted slogans against the Central and state govt’s anti-workers policies. The main demands of the workers were that the idea of privatisation of all schools, PSEB, health services etc should be given up. Secondly, they demanded the govt not to down-size the departments as it would lead to unemployment. Thirdly, they wanted regular recruitment for those working as daily wagers and also for those on contract basis. They wanted these people to be made permanent. The leaders further said they would oppose the govt tooth and nail on the issue of privatisation and from tomorrow intensify their struggle in the villages by taking the support of panchayats and masses. On June 23, 24, 27 and 28, they will give their demand letters to
Tehsildars. Next month, on July 14, they will take out a very huge rally in front of the Moti Mahal to press their demands before Captain Amarinder Singh.

Bitta advocates stringent
anti-terrorism laws
Ludhiana, June 13 Addressing a press conference at Circuit House here, he also placed on record efforts of the Delhi police and its Commissioner, Dr K.K. Paul, in apprehending self-styled chief of Babbar Khalsa International and an accused in the assassination of Beant Singh, who had managed a dramatic escape from the Burail jail (Chandigarh) last year. He asked the government to recognise the services of the Delhi police team that had thwarted the attempt of terrorists on reorganisation and regrouping. Mr Bitta, who survived two bomb attacks on him, came down heavily upon the Punjab Government and its intelligence agencies for what he described as a complete failure in monitoring the movement of Jagtar Singh Hawara and his accomplices, who were operating under the very nose of the Punjab Police in Fatehgarh Sahib district after their escape from the Burail jail. “The government should also look into the suspected involvement of certain senior officials and political functionaries in the escape of Hawara and two others from the jail,” he said. He opposed the proposal to scrap the blacklist and allow hardcore terrorists, staying in several foreign countries, to come back to the country. The move, along with another proposal to release militants lodged in jails, would spell disaster for the nation as those named in the blacklist, had a well-oiled network in countries like the UK, the USA, Canada and Germany. Once allowed to come to India, they were likely to spread their sinister activities in the country, he said. On the contrary, the government should make an all-out efforts for identification and extradition of terrorists roaming freely in foreign countries, including Pakistan, so that they could be brought to book. Mr Bitta said while the attempts being made on restoration of bilateral relations with Pakistan were welcome, the government, in its over enthusiasm on improvement of relations with the neighbouring country, should not overlook the fact that a number of hardcore militants and protagonists of Khalistan were still being provided asylum in Pakistan. Moreover, the ISI agents, both in Pakistan and India, were making another bid at creating communal tension and recent bomb blasts in Delhi were definitely a handiwork of these elements. He demanded a strict vigil on the Indo-Pak border and the train link — Samjhauta Express — between the two countries while alleging that large-scale smuggling of drugs and fake currency was taking place through that train.

Gen Aurora was votary of Hindu-Sikh unity
Ludhiana, June 13 Lt-Col Chanan Singh Dhillon (retired), president, Indian Exservices League, Punjab and Chandigarh who headed the Punjab Kalyan Forum at that time, was told by General Aurora before coming to Punjab that he was associated with a group of eminent Punjabis who were concerned about the Punjab situation namely Mr I.K. Gujral, Mr Kuldip Nayar, Dr Amrik Singh and Mr Rajinder
Sachar. He was more concerned about the Punjab situation as a whole, according to Col Dhillon. He laid down conditions for strengthening Hindu-Sikh unity. Col Dhillon was supported in his efforts by Lala
Lajpatrai, a senior BJP and RSS leader in the Punjab Kalyan forum and he was one of the sponsors of the visit of General Aurora to Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar. The Punjab Kalyan Forum was disbanded later by Col Dhillon. Col Dhillon, who is involved in the welfare of the ex-servicemen in Punjab and Chandigarh feels sore that young Army personnel who are discharged from the Army are not provided jobs despite the fact that the government has fixed 13 per cent quota for them in the paramilitary forces . There is no monitoring of the same and even widows of the exservicemen are not being treated well by the authorities. The widows are harassed by the kin when they get compensation and the government does not take any steps to check their harassment.

Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well
It is essential that everyone must work to earn his livelihood. Sir Walter Scott known for his industrious nature wrote to his son Charles when at
School: I cannot too much impress upon your mind that labour is a condition which God has imposed on us in every station of life; there is nothing worth having that can be had without it, from the bread which the peasant wins with the sweat of his brow, to the sports by which the rich man gets rid of his ennui. As for knowledge, it can no more be planted in the human mind without labour than a field of wheat can be produced without the previous use of the plough.
Southey, another writer who witnessed the industrial revolution in England, wrote these words when he was only 19.''Certainly a fourth part of my life; perhaps how great a part! And yet I have been of no service to society. The clown who scares crows for two pence a day is a more useful man; he preserves the bread which I eat in idleness. It is this attitude to labour that is the key to progress of individuals and societies. Unfortunately, the youth of the day addicted to entertainment and pleasure has almost developed an abhorrence to all kinds of labour. Unfortunately the attitude to work in our land is so negative that it is the one element wrecking the reputation of all governmental offices in our nation. Go to any public counter that has to do business with the common man, you will find apathy and indifference as the hall mark of the people who man the offices. One major reason for our industrial backwardness and lack of economic progress is the absence of a good work culture. Go to any public utility maintaining land records or dealing with collection of taxes; the man on the street has to grease the palm of the public servant employed by the state to serve him. Getting a birth certificate, a ration card or a driving licence or even payment of power or telephone bills could be a frustrating experience. This happens to be the state of affairs in a state like Kerala where more than 90 per cent of the collection of revenue is spent on the payment of salaries to its employees. It is also a state where strikes and hartals by workers is an everyday happening disrupting normal life. So long as the trade unions are strong and indifferent to the issue of making workers work, and the government lacks the political will to set things right, there is no hope of redemption. While the trade union movement in the country is reputed to have secured for the worker his legitimate rights and equipped him with bargaining power, there is no corresponding effort to ensure that every worker puts in labour that justifies his wages. The absence of discipline and the disinclination to put in a honest day's work had wrecked not only industrial progress but also agriculture in Kerala. As a result of the spread of literacy, men are no longer willing to do manual labour; it has become difficult to find enough farm hands to work in the fields; often their demands are so unrealistic as to make it uneconomical to employ them. It seems there is a justification for the following statement of Martin Luther King Jr to be engraved on the walls of each government office, factory or other work place:'' Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead and the unborn could do it no better. If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music. — MPK Kutty

Peaches flood city markets
Ludhiana, June 13 Peach is a fruit which is within the reach of most people. Its juicy tangy taste makes it a popular choice, Peach Melba, an ice-cream is most sought after. Canned peaches with
icecreams, too, make a lovely dessert. Perhaps, when you know how peaches reach you , you would be more appreciative of it. Peaches have been cultivated in China for
millennia. Traders on the silk road took the peach from China to Kashmir and over the Central Asian mountains to Iraq. The
nutritional value of peach is good. One peach (of around 100 gram size) supplies
abouts’ 5 per cent of an adults’ minimum daily Niacin (B3) needs. Fresh and canned peaches have about the same amount of vitamin A, with one medium-sized peach having about 530 international units.

Women thieves active in city
Ludhiana, June 13 It took him about 30 minutes to reach his son’s house but he was horrified to see that the money was missing. He recalled that soon after he had taken the auto rickshaw, four tribal women, carrying an infant, had also hopped in. On the way, one of them borrowed a “bidi” from another passenger and started smoking. Though they had told the driver that they would get down at the Jamalpur chowk, they did not do so. The Focal Point police, which was informed later in the evening, is investigating the matter. The places where people carrying money are targeted are the railway station and bus stand. Since the locals are familiar with these women thieves, they take adequate precautions against their wily moves which are aimed at distracting the attention of the person. An outsider is more likely to get robbed. The police had sometime ago busted a gang of four Sansi women who operated in autorickshaws running between Clock Tower and the general bus stand. These women would target unsuspecting women commuters and remove gold chains. According to the police, the women belonged to a village near Amargarh in Sangrur district which is known for its population of the Sansi tribe. In some cases, auto-drivers are hand-in-glove with the gang members and stand at pre-arranged spots on a particular route.
